Everyone tells Indians to walk 10,000 steps, but no one tells us “Where should we walk?” Try stepping out to walk in any Indian city. Chances are: -There are no footpaths. -If there is one, it’s broken. -If it’s not broken, it’s occupied by hawkers, scooters, garbage, or parked cars. I’ve lived in countries where walking is therapy. In India, walking is a punishment. You dodge potholes, pray you don’t get hit by a car, and come home covered in dust. We talk about building smart cities, but what’s the point of smart cities if we can’t even walk safely in them? Our cities were never designed for people. They were designed for traffic. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that walking is not a privilege, it is a basic human right. Let’s stop designing cities for cars. Let’s start designing them for people. Let’s Make India Walkable Again!

A COMPARISON BETWEEN INDIA'S RESULTS AT PARIS 24 OLYMPIC GAMES & WHAT'S HAPPENING IN BANGLADESH I have been a defender of #bharat for 3 decades (& of @narendramodi since 2002). I am also known to be a staunch defender of #Hindus, a wonderful people, the holders of the last Knowledge on this Planet: "who am I, why am I born again and again, what is atma, karma, what is dharma, how God, He or She, reincarnates Himself or Herself at different times, using different names & Scriptures I have too repeatedly said that India is the next world superpower, economic, political, nuclear etc. I have emphasized that contrary to China, India is a vibrant democracy, with a liberal, western loving people & that the black karma (of killing one million Tibetans & 3 million of their own people) will catch up with Chinese, sooner or later; & the good krama of India (having never invaded another country to impose its religion) will help overtake the Chinese Dragon (sooner than later)... But Sports-wise? Look at India at #ParisOlympics2024 tally: 6 medals, 5 bronze & one silver; China's tally: 73, out of which 39 are Gold. What are the lessons in that? 1. That it's a pathetic pathetic result for nation of 1,4 billion 2. That what is even more pathetic is that everyone has a good excuse (100grms overweight, groin injury, hostile referee etc) 3.That Indians are good losers: they rush to their opponents, like Chopra to the Paki to congratulate them (and losing to a Pakistani is either coincidence or symbolic) 4. That Indians don't work hard, prepare themselves thoroughly, reach methodically their peak at the right time, etc 5. That as long as Indians have this colonial obsession with #cricket, all other sports will be stifled and all Media, sponsorship, adds, attention, will be vampirized by these 12 spoilt brats who travel first class and stay in 5 stars & have no time to practice, as cricket being a money-making machine, they go from match to match, test to test international to international (killing in the process Indian domestic cricket). But note that in these Olympics, for the first time, India's big corporate houses did a major effort to promote, sponsor and broadcast the performances of the Indian contingent (thank you Mr & Mrs Ambani, whatever is said about you, we are grateful for your efforts and hope you will not be discouraged by the failure of Indian sportsmen)... 6. That the political leadership of India, namely the @BJP4India Govt, instead of doing some hard soul searching on why this massive failure and how to make a drastic effort at the ground level (make sport compulsory from kindergarten onwards, pick up early young talent, nurture and sponsor them, increase massively the sport budget, stop having political nominees as sports ministers), felicitates not only those who settled for the smaller spoils, but also those who failed completely (the famous 'heartbreak' 4th placed) and dishes out accolades and disproportionate rewards to the few who succeeded. So how does this compare to what's happening in #Bangladesh ? Well we must speak here about the Hindu mindset, because most of the sportsmen and women in #olympics2024 are Hindus and it is Hindus who are getting butchered in Bangladesh and a Hindu leadership is at the helm of India since 11 years (remember that most of the BJP leadership comes from the @RSSorg ), which, though it doesn't say it openly today, was created to defend Hindus). Lessons: Yes, Hindus are good people, open, tolerant, believing in one world family, but they have a colonized mind, that is they never fight back and do not defend themselves, as seen in #Kashmir, when 350.000 Hindus fled without firing a shot. We also witness in Bangladesh that they are like cattle waiting to be slaughtered. Here we must say that the Mahatma Gandhi's ahimsa influence, whatever his other qualities, has had a disastrous influence on Hindus (added to the Buddhist one, based on the fact that emperor Ashoka is supposed to have given up violence seeing the carnage of the Kalinga battle - which is absolutely wrong - he converted to Buddhism to counter the strong political influence of the Jains then). In short, like in the Olympics, Hindus do not have the rage or even the eagerness to win. In French we says "La rage de vaincre" In turn, the Hindu BJP leadership in India is comprised of many good women and men, Narendra Modi himself is a visionary leader, the best Prime Minister Bharat ever had and in his first years he initiated bold and essential reforms and continue to do so, witness his #WaqfAct reforms, but the Bharatya Janata Party is also toothless when its own brothers & sisters, the Hindus of Bangladesh or Leicester, or Kashmir are slaughtered. A few goody-goody words do not win a battle Again, I am a defender of Hindus, I have known Mr Advani and MM Joshi, whom I call my friends, since long, but the BJP reaction to the killing of Hindus in Bangladesh is as pathetic as the results of the Indian contingent in Paris and shows the same characteristics - lack of determination, indecisiveness, no rage to win, no courage. Whatever you say about islam, Muslims never fear death when it comes to defending their Prophet or their brothers and sisters in Palestine. Also, Indian politicians are good losers like #chopra, they felicitate #yunus, who is probably at heart a hardcore Muslim, is in the hands of the bangladeshi army and knows very well what is happening to the Hindus, Christians & ahmadis of his country. A word about China in the context of the Olympics: the Chinese show the same dedication and ruthlessness in politics that they displayed in their olympic events, with 73 medals. They always have the better of India, because they know that the Hindus will rather talk and be duped, than stand with force ( I am talking about political leadership, not Indian soldiers, who retain the last of the kshatriya spirit in India) In conclusion, the Hindu mind is still colonized, except for a few individuals, Hindus will not fight and have forgotten the message of the #bhagavadgitad : that force and violence are dharmic, when your people are killed, your women raped, your temples burnt, your houses destroyed, your borders threatened. Ultimately #HinduLivesDontMatter to non-Hindus, Hindus, & Hindu political leadership... You are In Sports as you are in Life. This must change and it CAN change. India must aim 25 medals at next Olympics and resolve to stand for Hindus the world over, with force and determination. swarajyamag.com/blogs/a-prob…

Never forget. Never forgive. Ever. If the ongoing genocide of #BangladeshiHindus does not stir Hindus out of our collective stupor, nothing will. It's all there for us to see. Right in front of our eyes. No more excuses left. Take a Sankalpa. Never forget. Never forgive. Ever.

If everyone in the world embraced Hinduism there would be more peace, less war, no terrorism in the name of religion. Environmentally the planet would be more sustainable & friendly, with less animal slaughter. Hinduism is the choice to save humanity & the world from destruction.

How many of you know that according to section 40 of waqf act, 1995, The waqf board can acquire ANY property? Yes ANY PROPERTY. It can even be your house! Once a waqf property, it will always remain waqf property! This Act was passed by Congress. #KashmirFiles

Just want to remind people again that "Hindutva is Hindu Modernity". It is a response to: 1. Islamism 2. Western Imperialism 3. Inner Hindu Caste Hierarchical systems. It deals with all 3 issues in differing ways leading to differing results.

Here is a fact. 95% of funding of St. Stephens College in Delhi comes from Indian state. But 50% seats are reserved for Christians Let us discuss that instead of burqa and hijab Dear Rahul Gandhi, Maa Saraswati does not discriminate... but St Stephens College does...
