No Indian fan should be happy with what we saw in Dambulla - Tilak Verma going on and on gesturing and arguing with the umpires even with light fading, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi getting into an ugly scene with Lankans and how India A management messed up another Super Over. Chasing 17 how can you not let Vaibhav face the first ball? #IndvsSL

90% of Indians have per capita income of less than most sub-Saharan African countries And most of the "middle class" is one health emergency away from joining the bottom 90%.
A Government for the middle class… It is the NDA Government’s privilege to be working towards fulfilling the aspirations of our middle class. They have contributed to nation-building in countless ways. Over the last decade, governance has increasingly focused on improving the quality of life of ordinary citizens. Our efforts are about easier access to opportunities, better infrastructure, improved public services, affordable healthcare, quality education, cleaner cities and reduced burdens in everyday life. #12YearsOfSakshamMiddleClass

Hmm…. International Relations expert…
“Prime Minister @NarendraModi and President Trump are scheduled to meet at the G7 Summit on June 17th. Quite gracious of Prime Minister Modi to agree to a meeting given the state of the U.S.-India relationship. This is not a meeting the PM needs, but it is one @POTUS needs. It would be to President Trump’s benefit to use the G7 Summit as an opportunity to repair the relationship between the U.S. and India. President Trump owes PM Modi an apology. He should make it. Use the @G7 Summit as a strategic opportunity to genuinely “reset” US-India ties. President Trump should do everything possible to maximize this interface in a way that moves us forward and regains the trust of the PM and the Indian people. I am praying wisdom for the President in this moment.” @G7 @narendramodi @POTUS @ians_india @lalitkjha: ianslive.in/mary-millben-urg…

MEA needs a less clichéd and more serious script for the PM's visits abroad, one where he engages with his hosts on substantive issues, rather than his own accompanying troupe and Indians settled abroad.

I don’t understand the widespread outrage among many Indians over America’s indifferent reaction to the killing of three Indian sailors on a foreign ship. The same voices were recently celebrating India’s deliberate low-key welcome and send-off for Marco Rubio. As if “putting him in his place” was some kind of diplomatic victory that would send a strong message to the United States. It did send a message, just not the one we intended. Marco Rubio is not a junior minister from a minor country. He is the United States Secretary of State, the second most powerful figure in the U.S. administration after the President. There are smarter, more effective ways to register displeasure than a public diplomatic snub broadcast for the world to see. Rubio and his colleagues said nothing at the time. They simply waited for the opportune moment. Some Indian “experts” were even urging Prime Minister Modi to skip meeting Rubio altogether. That would have sent an extraordinary signal to the Trump administration. The hard reality is this: unless you are as powerful as the United States or China, you cannot set your own rules and expect others to simply accept them. You might do so in your own backyard, but not on the global stage. Pretending otherwise is living in a fool’s paradise. Chest-thumping works in election rallies, not when dealing with powers far stronger than you. I’m no admirer of American foreign policy. I never have been. At the same time, I cannot help but envy their brazenness: the ability to send Marines into another country, kidnap a president, and walk away with a clear message that says: “Go fuck yourself. We are the United States. Try and stop us.” The fact that nobody has the guts to stop them explains exactly why they behave this way. Diplomacy is not about feelings or optics for domestic consumption. It is about protecting national interests with clarity, dignity, and realism. You play the game with discipline, communicate firmly but preferably privately, and avoid unnecessary public humiliation. Leave the jingoism and chest-thumping to the general public. I can say what I want because I have no skin in the game. Keyboard warriors can rant freely. But policymakers and those who claim to have the government’s ear cannot afford the same luxury. When dealing with the world’s most powerful country, a dose of cold pragmatism is essential. Publicly embarrassing the Secretary of State was always likely to invite a response. If you want to play in the big leagues, you must learn to absorb a few punches without whining, and worrying about the optics because of your vote bank. And if we think tearing down posters of the U.S. President on the back of auto-rickshaws or burning his effigies will actually send a message to “evil America,” then we are no different from our immediate neighbours to the east and west. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Today, with the US banning some frontier models from foreign access, it is a wake up call for India. By 2030 India needs to run on own frontier AI models, OS & Apps, and digital currency. Or 2030s may become the new 1730s - if you know what I mean.

ANI coverage of PM Modi's foreign trips.. Step 1 PM says bye bye to everyone in India while boarding a plane. No sounds. Cinematic music and shots. Step 2 Watches Indian dance music programme of women abroad. Make sure there are white people performing too. Look serious and interested Step 3 Ask NRIs to say how much they love Modiji and how fortunate they are to see their bhagwaan from motherland who has done so much development in India. Step 4 Make sure no one hears him speak. EVER.Never show the press asking him questions. Mute videos. Edit. Edit. Edit. The End.

Un accueil mémorable de la part de la communauté indienne de Nice. Bien qu’ils se trouvent à plusieurs kilomètres de leur pays, le lien de notre diaspora avec l’Inde demeure plus fort que jamais.

Protesters are standing outside JPMorgan Chase in New York this weekend, holding giant banners that say “STOP ELON • NO TRILLIONAIRES” and “ELON IS STEALING YOUR PENSION” These people are protesting the greatest success story in modern history. Let’s look at the actual reality: • Elon has already paid more in taxes than almost anyone alive • Tesla and SpaceX employ well over 100,000 people and actively push humanity forward. • Through DOGE, he already helped cut billions in wasteful government spending. That saved taxpayers hundreds of billions.....meaning he actually helped secure grandmas' pensions by slashing bureaucracy, not the other way around. • Friday's historic SpaceX IPO didn't "steal" from anyone. It created massive value, turned everyday workers into millionaires, and rightfully made him the world’s first trillionaire He didn’t steal anything. He built it from the ground up His companies have created massive job growth, accelerated sustainable energy, and are literally building the infrastructure to make humanity multi-planetary Rather than celebrating excellence, demanding the government punish it is pure evil

Sir you keep on making big statements I tried to shift my WhatsApp Broadcasts to Arattai 1. Message delivery was slow and failed in many cases 2. One day suddenly I got a prompt to activate end to end encryption. As soon as I accepted all broadcast lists got deactivated with the prompt that End to End encryption is not available for broadcast messages and will start soon. It's been over six months has not happened. Fact is that Indian Companies have refused to invest in R&D in any meaningful way. Even in pharmaceuticals where we are market leaders in generics on Wockhardt has been successful in coming out with a branded product.
This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America. First thoughts: 1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology. 2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead. We must keep these two ideas in mind. What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you? We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100 billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses. Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there. Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.

History will remember Elon Musk alongside DaVinci, Gutenberg, Fulton, Pasteur, Edison, Ford and Jobs. History will have no recollection of any kind of Ro Khanna.
Musk is worth more than South Africa’s GDP. @BernieSanders and I proposed a 5% tax on people like him. In one year, it could fund: - free public college & trade school -$10/day childcare - Special-needs education nationwide Wealth inequality is the moral failure of our time.

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense. SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world. Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere. SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity. Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help. The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist. Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives. Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation. Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears. Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction. We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.
