More thoughts on China:
In last 30 years, China has pumped enormous money in buying, cultivating and using media support. It worked from 90s to 2015s.
Then, to their utter surprise, the world changed. Social Media democratised opinions and information.
1/n
The assets suddenly became ineffective. They could not control a democratised SM.
So in the last few years they have been hiring an army of bots.
The trouble with bots is they cannot engage. They cannot argue. They can only cut paste pre determined views and amplify them
2/n
If you notice today, their completely rattled state mouth pieces are belting out laughably preachy sermons.
This is their natural weakness in the information age.
No understanding of SM, local language/english barriers.
What China fears most and betrays its weakness..
3/n
is a growing global opinion against its industries and products. They could game manufacturing, logistics, pricing, policies. What they cannot game is this irrational boycott by global consumers.
Added to the Wuhan sentiment, this anti Chinese goods sentiment rattles them.
4/n
The argument is NOT about how much financial damage a boycott can inflict on chinese industry. The argument IS that they have no answer to a growing Boycott China consumer movement across the world. When some Indians call for #BoycottChineseProducts, they set in motion..
5/n
a global resonance from prople across the world who have seen Chinese products flood their markets.
China’s large ticket exports come from their Govt owned companies. Their consumer/industrial goods come from enterprises owned by CCP officials.
6/n
This is the lot that is turning jittery. It does not means losses in any one financial year. It means a lot of their factories turning redundant.
They had seen the ghost town scams from the CCP adventures. (Pls google china ghost towns)
They fear ghost factories and rightly so.

After being locked in #Badrinath for last 4 days due to Red Alert, closure of toads and crash of mobile networks, today we are back to the foothills of Himalyas.
But boy! What amazing 4 days they were.
Badrinath without crowds, walk in for darshan multiple times a day…
1/n
👆 Thats how the weather changed in minutes. We got to see a side of Badrinath most pilgrims miss out.
That is the unrivalled natural beauty of Badrinath.
And Mana, the last Indian village before China border. Their crafts, their people, theor lives, their folklore..
2/n
Badrinath turned out to be the hidden gem of this trip. Heres sharing some pictures for you folks.
#Badrinath The first day of the snow capping the mountain peaks.

कोरोना और ब्लैक फ़ंगस ने मृत्यु की वेदना को आंसुओं की क़ीमत से तौल दिया है। रोज़ किसी एक घनिष्ट मित्र का जाना क्रूरता से स्मृति से एक एक कालखंड पोंछता जा रहा है। संवेदना की अभिव्यक्ति अश्रुपूरित ईमोजी, प्रणाम में जुड़े हाथों तक सिमट गई है
ऊँ शांति बेबसी का घोष बन गया है।

पिछले एक पखवाड़े में अपने दो करीबी मित्रों को खो चुका हूँ। मित्र भी ऐसे, जिन्हें परिवार का सदस्य कहना उनके संबंधों को अपमानित करना प्रतीत होता है।
कल दोपहर गौतम का मेसेज आया कि दद्दू का स्थिति क्रिटिकल है। चार पाँच दिन पहले बताया था कि कोरोना के मकड़जाल से छूटकर..
2/n
दद्दू ब्लैक फ़ंगस की चपेट में आ गये हैं। दद्दू हमारे जीवट से भरे पूरे थे, पचहत्तर की उमर में पच्चीस वाले जोश से भरे हुए। जूझते रहे, जीवन में बड़ी विपदाएँ झेली थीं उन्होंने, कोरोना को पछाड़ चुके थे। कल गौतम बोला दद्दू हार रहे हैं, काल के आगे समर्पित हो रहे हैं।

When @radhabharadwaj decided to tell the story of women in India’s space programme, she innocently started talking to Bollywood production houses.
Little did she know that Bollywood thrives on thieving ideas and scripts. 1/n
#SpaceMoms
Her script was taken, idea stolen and without as much as a nod, a hackneyed version was produced by Bollywood behind her back.

Radha was not going to take it lying down. She proceeded legally against the producers while committing to produce her own script.
#SpaceMoms 2/n
The outcome is #SpaceMoms , a wonderfully original take on the ordinary Indian women at ISRO who do extraordinary work.
It is a depiction of characters as they are, NOT as caricatures.
You know that Akshay being a scientist route, dont you?

It is a rather old story.
Few generations back, our affluent ancestral home was attacked by unknown immigrants.
They robbed our home, set fire to the barn, looted what they could, tried to misbehave with the womenfolk and ran away into the night.
1/n
My ancestors fortified their home, made better provisions for security, kept 24 hour guards. A few years later, again one night an attack happened. This time the guards were killed, the cattle stolen, large part of the house burnt down. My ancestors survived but barely so.
2/n
The village came to offer succour, even some financial help to rebuild. But there was no finding the attackers. They just vanished into the dark.
Life gradually began to come to a normal. Hardwork and effort brought the household back to normalcy.

Since the time of these agri reforms, it has become convenient to blame Adhatia/middlemen/commission agents for every ill of farming.
NOTHING CAN BE FURTHER FROM TRUTH.
Middlemen exist because they serve a purpose. It deep rural communities, they are a single point source of 1/n
loans and advances, guidance and help. Yes, there are people who may exploit, but that doesn't make the entire system malafide. Where does a poor farmer get advance in emergency? The adhatia who knows him, his farm, his crop and his credit reliability.
2/n
The adhatias also are the farm produce aggregators, much like Amazon/Bookings etc. Large buyers place their order with adhatias. They are ones who buy from small farmers, sort pack and make it acceptable quantity for the buyer. How would you imagine a 2.5 acre farmer trying 3/n
