This is a long post. If you prefer, you can skip to section B. The first part is my assurance, especially for the young 40% of India’s population, who grew up without witnessing a war. Share it among yourselves. A----------A There’s some pessimism and doubt I’m seeing on my timeline. It’s understandable. The adversaries are skilled in infowar and are making many young Indians feel uncertain and fearful. Let me assure you, Pakistan is NOT winning the war it has created. No matter how much it escalates and how many Chinas and Turkeys support it. At most, it will only win a propaganda war for the time being. I’m saying what I stated above with reason, rationality, and not carried away by nationalism. Trust me on this. Pakistan now faces only two options: 1) Take the numerous off-ramps offered by India and back off. 2) Or risk losing the war, incurring heavy losses that could lead to its disintegration. It appears that Pakistan has chosen the latter path. Regardless, it is their decision to self-destruct. India shall support their endeavor. To those posting like “Did we lose this?” “Did we lose that?” “Are we backing off?” “Will they nuke us?” “Are we suffering losses?” “It’s better we de-escalate!” - Understand that your doubts are a result of psyops you’ve been subjected to through social and DS run media. You’re being made to lose hope through the use of fake news and fabricated stories. Don’t be swayed by it. Maintain a strong mind and remain a steadfast supporter of govt and armed forces. Understand this: War inevitably entails losses. Planes and drones can be destroyed, soldiers can be killed, bases can be attacked, and ships can be hit. All of these are possible when fighting a large army like Pakistan, backed by powerful forces. However, it doesn’t immediately mean we feel disillusioned and scared. The end result is what matters. Please read about the 1971 war and the significant losses India incurred to achieve the breakup of Pakistan. And stop asking these silly questions and stop running around like headless chickens - helping Pakistani psyops spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt in as many Indians as possible. B----------B Why will Pakistan suffer a severe defeat if it provokes India to declare a war by escalating? Here is what you need to know: India has not yet utilized even 10% of its military capabilities, while Pakistan is already struggling. India has not even declared a war, yet look at the state of Pakistan. It has to blackout media to conceal its losses. The economic and military power differential between India and Pakistan is so immense that even with the assistance of other countries, Pakistan won’t survive a declared war by India. No matter whether it receives a $1 billion or $2 billion bailout, Pakistan cannot survive economically fighting a war if India declares one. China will support Pakistan with intelligence, supplies, and propaganda, but it won’t go to war with India for Pakistan. The same applies to Turkey. Although the US is calling for peace and acting like it’s supporting Pakistan too, the US admin seems to be on India’s side. The anti-India USDS is now weakened and only operates in the media (Ex: CNN) / international orgs (Ex: IMF) domain. It's not a big threat. In my opinion, the US wants India to complete the task of weakening Pakistan militarily, as it has been fully taken over by China. If that's not the case, the US would have intervened already to stop any more escalations. Or it will do so soon. Let's see. In the unlikely scenario that China intervenes fearing Pakistan’s disintegration, the US will also intervene. Trust me on this. India’s missile defense, ammunition stores, and preparations are sufficient for months of war with China. Pakistan cannot dent this much. India possesses resources, capabilities, and partners to replenish itself quite rapidly. So stop worrying about these things. India is always prepared for a two-front war. Therefore, don’t worry about China intensifying its pressure along the LAC, which they may attempt. But we are ready for it. As I mentioned earlier, China will never engage in a full-scale war with India. Its sole objective is to weaken India using proxies or use small conflicts along the LAC to keep us occupied. Pakistan’s nuclear threats have become monotonous and predictable now. While they are indeed a threat, we are well-prepared for them. Even before they launch nukes, we may receive intel and neutralize them. If they do launch, India can still take them out before they hit. In any case, India’s nuclear response will be so overwhelming that Pakistan will cease to exist immediately. So, stop being influenced by subtly planted Pakistani propaganda using Indian handles. Stop being plagued by FUD. Our armed forces have shown remarkable prowess in thwarting thousands of drones, missiles, and PAF attacks on India. This feat is truly exceptional and is under appreciated. The Indian armed forces have also demonstrated deep penetration into Pakistan, inflicting severe blows to their terrorist and military infrastructure. Truly awe-inspiring, but unrecognized by Indians themselves. Remember that all you saw was merely a warning and a display of India’s capabilities. Imagine the consequences if India were to declare a full-fledged war. As I mentioned earlier, Pakistan will panic and de-escalate itself soon. If not, it will lose a war declared by India.

What @BeerBicepsGuy said was wrong. And, outright stupid. But, honestly it is sad to see political machinery going after him personally. We have rich kids, who are outright murderers: roaming free. Atul Subhash's murderers are roaming free. People are dying slow death in cities like Delhi due to pollution. There are real problems to be solved. Not what someone said. And, how crass it was. What he said was ugly to the core, no doubt. People have the right to express their viewpoint. But this type of mob lynching is not correct. It can really break people. The punishment for stupidity shouldn't be this high.

Why does Nirmala Sitharaman get criticism when the economy has performed well under her despite COVID and other setbacks? Answer: Taxpayers are the backbone of the economy. When the economy is doing great, some relief should come back to them also. But instead, you get more taxes. Despite paying income tax, whatever is left for savings, you have to pay tax on that too. For instance, capital gains tax applies to profits from investments in stocks, real estate, or other assets. Interest earned on savings and fixed deposits is also taxed. Even long-term investments for the future, such as retirement funds or mutual funds, are not exempt. These policies discourage savings and investments, which are crucial for personal financial growth and economic stability. Then watching your hard-earned money milked through taxes to fund freebies and welfare schemes, especially for those who don't give a damn about this country, is frustrating. If things are going so great, give some relief to us too. But no, all we get is 'that smirk'.

How can someone do this? He is making the road messy, just so there are lesser dry leaves piled up in front of his car. #murgeshpalya @BbmpEast @BlrCityPolice

Looks like scamsters are trying this new way to try and rope you in. Please be cautious of such messages. #cybercrime #onlinescam #scammers

Carpooling is any day better than travelling by a cab or an auto, unless you don't have an option. Cab associations shouldn't even complain, as half the time they keep cancelling the ride requests.

Please give this a read. #RainWater #rwh #rainwaterharvest #sustainability #grondwater #groundwaterrecharge

It's funny, how they get a photo shot of the space cleared and then immediately after the cops leave, it's back to the old tricks. And of course, the cops know about it too. These issues require a permanent fix @blrcitytraffic

Is the entire road next to the JP Nagar metro station allotted to autos for parking? Can't even stop on the side here without being almost abused by the auto drivers saying this area is an auto stand. @blrcitytraffic @BlrCityPolice

Big Rajakaluve scam Alert! A 20ft Rajakaluve is being restricted to feet concrete walls by a prominent builder! @DKShivakumar sir, do something, our future generations will be thankful to you! 🙏🏻 #SaveLakes #SaveBengaluru

Watch out, while on the road and install a dashcam in your car.

This really deserves a slow clap. Setting their own speed limits. 👏

Before and After Can you guess what part of Bengaluru this is? Designed by @iiscbangalore Sustainable Transportation Lab NOW this needs to be implemented. What do you think? @BBMPCOMM #Suraksha75

Such incidents are quite common, but most go unnoticed as people are scared to retaliate. It's not just the cyclists, even pedestrians & others on the roads face such things. And if you say, it could be the cyclist's fault, well in almost all cases it's the bus/auto/cad at fault.

I am going to file a formal complaint against @airasia with the consumer forum, AirSewa and @MoCA_GoI
