Do you have a smart phone? A phone with a good camera in your pocket?

If so, then you are a 'change-agent'. All you need to do is to use the 'instrument-of-change', yes, your camera in the mobile, to bring the 'real' India to .
the citizens of India.

Citizens of India, especially those that live in the cities are completely disconnected with 'Bharat' that constitutes more than 80% of India. They don't understand 'hunger', 'poverty', 'malnutrition', 'infant mortality', 'lack of
toilets', 'lack of water supply for drinking purposes' and many more such things that make the life of Bharat a daily struggle.

They think that the world begins and ends with their own world where everything is available and plenty. Where they go hungry only if they want to shed
some weight, where money is available at a nearby ATM or in the mobile phone itself, where 'malnutrition' means not eating cheese for a few days or staying off pizza, where infants don't die and perhaps infants are not even wanted, where toilets are attached to bed rooms
itself, where municipal corporations ensure water in every tap and bottled water can be bought.

This India needs to connect with 'Bharat' and you can make it happen when you travel. Such distress is visible not more than 50 kilometers out of your own city limits or comfort zones
Take out that camera, make things happen. Become an agent of change

#MedicalStudent #UkraineRussie @GastroOneIndia
As the government of India is with the 20,000 students who have come back from Ukraine or are in the process of coming back, I will believe what Scindia said on board the air craft that brought them back that Government of
India is with them in every step if;

Government of India ensures that these 20,000 students get immediate admission in MBBS Course in India.

Government of India waves their fees for MBBS Course.

Government of India brings back students from all over the world who
are out doing MBBS Course and gives them admission in India at the same fees that they were paying abroad.

Government of India allows them to continue from the same stage in their studies in India without subjecting them to any entrance examination or

One student has been killed in shelling in Ukraine. He is from Karnataka.

BJP IT-Cell and its Twitter Army is blaming the student for being outside and not following advisories issued by Modi Sarkar. They are blaming him for getting killed.
They want to protect the image of Modi Sarkar at all cost. Even if they sound completely ridiculous in doing so.

They are almost saying that this student went and stood outside in the open and then ran under a falling shell and decided to kill himself while Modi G was trying to
save him.

And why call the rescue operation from Ukraine as Operation Ganga? What an asshole. Why not call it Operation Narmada or Operation Satluj? Everything that happens will be used to garner votes. Even deaths will be used to garner votes. Remember Pulwama? 42 Soldiers

#UkraineRussiaWar
Before the help pleas started to appear on social media, our PM did not even know that so many students from India are studying abroad. And his response is so typical, instead of working to bring them back, he questions why they are in Ukraine in
the first place?

Idiot, they don't get admissions here in India for medicine seats because you have been busy building world tallest statutes, grand temples, central vista, a new parliament, new house for yourself with an underground tunnel to
the parliament and air crafts worth 8000 Crores!

This is just like he did not know that stray cows, bulls and other cattle were creating mayhem in UP, Bihar and other states of the country.

WHO WILL BE UKRAINE'S PAKISTAN?
Afghans inside and outside the country fought the Russians as ferociously as they later fought the Americans. They had bases in Pakistan, and western arms and Saudi money were funneled through it. It took a good bit
for itself too. But by helping them Pakistan also destroyed itself. Who will be Ukraine's Pakistan? Bruce Riedel, a former CIA grandee examines the issues involved. Meanwhile Russia has gone on a nuclear alert.

The Soviets never sent enough soldiers to defeat the insurgents and
could not recruit enough Afghans to fight with them. The Pakistanis were not intimidated by the Russians. The Afghan people fought for their independence.

The Afghan analogy offers important questions for the new war in Ukraine. Which state or states will be the frontline sponso

#BiharPolls
7th November 2020.

The rural minds find this fascinating.

Here is a man, who has dropped out of school. They know that he is just 9th Pass. Yet, he is the son of one time CM of Bihar, Lalu Prasad Yadav. He was the Deputy CM before Nitish Kumar's Antar
Atma decided to act up. Overnight he was thrown out and betrayed and Nitish Kumar formed a government with BJP, a party that it fought elections against in 2015.

This man now heads the RJD. His father is in jail. He travels by a helicopter. He
sits with the likes of Rahul Gandhi and is fact a larger partner in the Grand Alliance.

This man promises 1 Million Jobs at the first cabinet meeting because so many vacancies exist in the system. He speaks only on this subject. They know that he might not deliver the whole pie

IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS

In 1991, soon after the coup attempt that confined Mikhail Gorbachev to a villa in Sochi, India's MEA still very Soviet influenced, got PM PV Narasimha Rao to make a comment to the extent that Gorbachev was paying the price for
rushing in the "reforms" much too fast. The dominant influences in the MEA refused to consider the possibility of the USSR demising.

The circumstances in the USA are entirely different but still not dissimilar. Trump is being swept out of office
(despite Modi campaigning for him) but he is not going to go easily. According to the US Constitution and convention he should go by Jan 20. But it is quite likely he might squat in the White House for longer. Modi should lie low and India should at best issue an anodyne
