In 2014-2015 you started the much advertised #MakeInIndia to boost manufacturing in India.
And since then the share of manufacturing in GDP has fallen every single year.
Last year we had the lowest recorded share in history.
How do you do this? I mean!
Sharing what happened in our neighbouring countries over the same period dear PM @narendramodi.
Take a look at Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka.
Only we had #makeinindia. And only we had such free fall in manufacturing share.
This reduction => Lack of jobs.
Not only that dear PM @narendramodi, you also have the distinction of overseeing the first major contraction in manufacturing in absolute value. And this was before Corona hit.
Do you ask your team for reasons on this? Or they bluff you like you bluff the country?

Dear PM @narendramodi, after the surprise incursion from China last summer & the Galwan valley incident, I have been trying to understand China, by studying their history, culture, language etc.
I am no China expert. But here is two cents on why they did what they did. 1/n
As with India, China also should be studied based on its current position in its civilisational and historic journey.
And in that journey, there is not a more important theme than this theme of "Unification of China" 2/n
Unification phase and disintegration phase is a repeated pattern in Chinese history.
Hence it becomes important to understand which phase they view themselves to be in, in the present.
And in their collective imagination, this is very clearly a unification phase. 3/n
1. The VVPAT that sits in the middle is an active device and one which was connected to an external device like SLU or laptop for symbol loading unlike the BU which was an electromechanical device.
1. There is no active verification at the time of voting as irrespective of whether voter has seen the vote or not, the printed slip falls down & gets stored.
2. VVPAT auditing (not verification) during counting is less than 2%.
Some of you might be aware of my curiosity driven project : whatchinareads.com.
Today, I added Science related news section to the website and I came to know that a Chinese academician has applied for emergency use of nebulized inhaled covid vaccine. 1/n
Also added another section for academic papers abstracts.
A mine-field of information for those who are interested in the field. Only abstracts though. Those really interested will still have to go to the original site and get the full paper PDFs 2/n
An astonishing thing is the number of papers that are on industrial and manufacturing technology.
I am sure you must be feeling bad that Govt did not do enough in the past one year to prepare.
But please realize that it is still not late for many districts since they are not yet severely affected.
Do focus there as well. 1/n
Apart from the team that is dealing with the ongoing full-blown crisis in many places, please create another team to focus on the districts that are yet to be as severely affected.
Start preparation in those districts also on war footing. 2/n
I don’t want to burden you with any new suggestions or sermons dear PM @narendramodi.
But would like to share some screenshots of the suggestions/requests that were posted last year during the lockdown. 3/n
A 20 minute video on my concerns regarding the vulnerabilities of current EVM-VVPAT design.
On how it surrendered the strengths of pre-VVPAT EVM design & also did not bring in the checks of a true VVPAT design. What we have is a jugaad EVM-VVPAT now.
To all who are watching/reading these concerns, my humble request is to please don't link it to election results one way or the other. These are process concerns. And it will be there irrespective of which party wins.
