After giving some thought & study to the new Agriculture bills, I can say that intent behind them is GOOD! Biggest change will be the new entrants in the buying market of crops. Will raise farmers’ income.
I can understand the frustration of Pawar party in Maha & Akalis in PJ!
People saying Farmers will get lower price without Mandis, well! mandis are not closing down & farmers can still go there for MSP based prices.
With no barrier on storage limit, urban investors might feel like investing in crop procurement now & it can make them rich to the
1/
level of “bitcoin rich”. New agriculture based startups also get a window here with that “no limit” clause.
Challenge is to understand the “information” flowing in & out of any business. If more people can understand that, then established businessmen are in trouble.
2/
Established businessmen in Agricultural crop purchasing are parties like SAD, NCP, RJD etc. They will be troubled if more players understand the “information”.

A non exhaustive list of people who became a casualty of Shatru Hanta Yog of PM Modi’s kundali (as per astrologers).
1. Chimanbhai Patel- last significant congress leader from Gujarat who could become CM there.
Modi was tasked to start a campaign against him in state.
1/
2. Keshubhai Patel.
Another ex CM of Gujarat.
Member of BJP, RSS. Was unhappy when Modi rose as PM candidate. Made a party which did not even a scratch to Modi & BJP. Merged with BJP later.
2/
3. Shankarsinh Vaghela
A strong opponent and long time politician which just could not better Modi. Another man who was Gujarat’s CM once and never liked Modi’s ascent & national role.
I shared one Raja Ravi Varma painting and you all liked it.
So, I am sharing another which is a lesser known masterpiece from Raja Ravi Varma’s works.
This painting is known as “Krishna Shishtai” or “Krishna as an envoy”.
1/
Story- Here Krishna is in court of Dhritrashtra with the peace offering of Yudhisthir. He did it as Yudhisthir was aware of impending doom by the great war.
But, Duryodhana was furious & ordered Dushasana to capture Krishna and himself took out his sword.
2/
All the old men in scene are aware of grave mistake Duryodhana is committing and some are even shocked to hear his command.
The facial expressions of old men are different from young ones as they know who is Krishna in real.
Arguably, this painting “Victory of Indrajit” is best work of Raja Ravi Varma.
This painting has many characters, everyone with a story in their expressions, Varma showed his mastery with light & shadows in it.
1/
Theme- this is a scene where Indrajit, son of Ravana is presenting his war trophies to his father after defeating Indra.
He is looking towards Sachi, wife of Indra. His gaze is victorious. Standing at lower pedestal—hierarchy in family where his father & uncle is present.
2/
Sachi is in sorrow (open hair) and despair (disheveled clothes). Her royal stature is still visible in her skin tone and disgust on her face.
Dark skin attendant is in contrast to show misbehaviour with her. She is looking towards skies as if to find Indra there.
If you do not know about Devendra Sharma, you need to read this.
One of the most dangerous serial killers of India. Looked like a typical man who would offer you his food in railway journey.
125+ illegal kidney transplants, 50-100+ murders, several fraud, robbery charges.
1/
Devendra Sharma completed his BAMS & started as an Ayurveda practitioner.
In early 1990s, he was conned by someone with promise of gas agency in Jaipur & he lost ₹11 lacs. After that, he was steered towards crime.
He started small frauds here & there.
2/
Then, in mid 1990s, he came in contact of an inter state kidney transplant racket. Poor people either by money or by fraud were trapped & were convinced to sell their kidneys.
Sharma earned ₹5-7 lacs per operation as his cut. In few years, was involved in 125+ cases.

Yesterday, Sikkim & India celebrated 50th anniversary of its merger with Indian Union.
Before that, it enjoyed special relations under its monarchy with India.
But, it all changed when an American married the king of Sikkim & led the eventual end of 300+ years old kingdom.
1/
Hope Cooke, an American citizen, married Palden Thondup Namgyal in 1963. Namgyal met her in Darjeeling when she was on a summer trip to India in 1959.
The wedding was covered by world media as she was one of the first Americans to marry in a royal house.
2/
Hope Cooke took name Hope La & became Gyalpo (Queen consort) of Sikkim. She learned local customs, language, Buddhism and tried to mix with people of Sikkim.
But, there was something which was bothering India with her position in Sikkim.
