Such flawed thinking... No one is asking @Phogat_Vinesh to return her prize money which she earned in sports. No one is even asking her to return the awards either - no awardee, should do that ever. But when she or any awardee returns their awards as a mark of public protest,

All those asking @Phogat_Vinesh to return her prize money, hey, don’t forget she earned it with sweat and toil Why don’t you step into an akhara and win medals for India.. only a sportsperson knows the hard work and sacrifice it involves to become an elite athlete. Character

Mandis receiving a lesser state can mean many things, farmers finding a better price and hence not selling through the mandis being one. That’s exactly what the laws achieve. Can YoYa explain how come there is a mandi if he claimed that the farm laws abolish them?

The PM wants to know how have the news laws affected the existing APMCs. Well, here is an example of total Mandi fee collection in Madhya Pradesh: Jan 2020: ₹ 88 cr Jan 2021: ₹ 29 cr Would that count as adverse effect, Modiji?

Power doesn’t trickle down, while wealth trickles down with the right framework. India’s socialistic fabric is all about promoting personal power of dynasts by eliminating wealth creation opportunities of the common man. In the end, the common man is both poor & powerless.

This makes little sense. If the portion in blue contributes 50% of GDP, then rest of India contributes the other 50%. And the red patch is at the centre of it. And GDP contribution is not attributable only to population but also ports. The south is blessed with sea connectivity.

Stealing money is illegal. Someone stealing that stolen money is also illegal. Just because the stolen money was stolen, doesn't mean the person whose money was first stolen can't be granted justice. That's the legal principle behind this apparent contradiction.

When one of Barelvi’s men moved forward & got stuck in the marshy field, his troops followed & were completely ensnared in the slush. The Sikhs then zeroed in on them, & killed about 1300 mujahideen’s in the day long battle (8/10).

This is a letter that @manoharparrikar wrote 11 days before his death. He made no mention of who he is, & addressed a staff of Goa Govt. as ‘Sir’. Even under extreme circumstances, he didn't leverage his position. Power never entered his head, & that says volumes about the man.
