Prime Minister Modi’s 5 year tenure will be regarded by future
historians as a time point where a movement to free India from

proved that it is possible to run an honest government in India.
Small factoid: During WW2 (earlier actually) Hitler, Mussolini & Tojo stopped elections because "Nation had to be politically one". UK and USA held elections during WW2.

The nation has to be politically one when it faces a challenge. Are we? Should we be? Should we criticize the opponent together? Are we doing so? Answer it yourself. Ideally, quoting Gen Hooda, Political one-up-man-ship must take a backseat and we should all come together.

The smallest error in this garbage. Misspelling JNC name. The largest: Gen JNC was CiC in the 65 Indo Pak War, after Nehru had died. Was he really a " friend" of yours ? He died when you were 10 years old. Let's not even get into errors of detail.
I can choose not to use Google, Facebook or Microsoft. I can avoid leaving personal data on all three.
I can choose to sue them under US law if they misuse data.
The choices don't exist with Aadhaar or Aarogya Setu. Nor do I have legal remedy for misuse.

Why are you so concerned about personal data on Aarogya Setu and Aadhar but nonchalant about exposure, trading and profiting from your personal data by Google, Facebook and Microsoft. Either you care or don't care, why be conveniently selective.
This piece harps on data & posits that Covid hasn’t gone viral because hospitals and crematoriums have not been overwhelmed.
Well let’s talk data and get a little less fuzzy about figuring out how many deaths could occur without raising red flags.

When 5% of the population thinks it's entitled to 100% of the resources by right of birth & that 5% is patriarchal and has brutally dominated for centuries, maybe it's time to smash that patriarchy?I'm referring to South Africa of course. In India, it's been millennia.

Lost 2.5-1.5 to Ivanchuk. It was a balanced match more or less. In the third game, I had a clear way to a draw but under pressure, I tried to keep it going and lost instead.
On Buddha Purnima, I spare a thought for the prince who articulated the concept of separation of divinity from morality. The one who said you can strive to be a good person regardless of the existence (nonexistence) of a deity.

In Meerut, the brahmins are demanding 25k+ to perform the last rites. Lots of ppl protested. Ultimately authorities had to be called. Finally the price was fixed at 7k for Corona patients and 5k for others. No brahmins are boycotting all cremations.

Experts say, the trend of India as the fastest growing global economy is likely to continue for next few years. With structural reforms like demonetisation, implementation of GST & enforcement of the IBC, Indian economy is moving steadily ahead & empowering every citizen.
