In a statement, @WorldBank decided to discontinue its Doing Business ranking citing confirmation of data irregularities on Doing Business 2018 & 2020 reports following series of reviews and audits. What it doesn’t mention is that China was the culprit! worldbank.org/en/news/statem…
Let me take you into year 2009 when James Chanos predicted collapse of China citing fraudulent data.
In China, Chanos found another Enron type “trust me” story -Chanos first predicted collapse of Enron. Chanos has since been repeating his 2009 piece
What @WorldBank statement didn’t mention is how China played the role in discontinuance of the Doing Business Report for the way it tried to manipulate its ranking from 85 to 78 in 2018. This report was prepared by Wilmerhale and can be checked here —-> thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/84a922c…
What this report by Wilmerhale proves is that Indian performance in Doing Business Ranking was actually clean and it again reinforces the belief and trust in the sanctity of Indian data.
At the same time, it proves what Chanos has been saying since 2009 about China!
Often in the past,many Modi hating media hit squads trashed India’s good performance at EODB rankings of @WorldBank & even questioned it. Wonder what will they say now that China has been established as the reason for discontinuance of Doing Business rankings while Ind was clean!
You know what @pujamehra and ace economist @rupasubramanya - I have a bad news for u - this discontinuation of Doing Business rankings has conclusive proven what was said in a hush-hush tone - that China is an emperor in underwear. Guess what, India is actually a beneficiary now!

Ever since @BJP4India became a force to reckon with in 90s, one narrative that we grew up with after it was thrusted down our throats was that BJP is a Hindu Nationalist Party.
For Indira, BJP was a Baniya party and this Hindu identity was courtesy western media & continues!
The fixation of western media to allocate identities to political movements is ltd to non Christian countries ONLY-reason y US, despite Presidents taking oath under Bible or European countries ruled by several Christian parties,none of them is identified as disparagingly as BJP!
As majority of Muslim nations don’t have democracy so media is not obligated to call them so; in Muslim countries with some semblance of democracy- for ex in Pak, neither PMLN nor PPP is identified as disparagingly as BJP in India. Ditto for BD. Not much diff is case of Turkey!
If you think what @US4AfghanPeace did in Afghanistan has NO precedence in history - look no further but at Iran in 1979 - read this 10 tweet thread and note the similarities!
firstpost.com/india/opinion-… - “In this day and age where even private homes undergo renovation regularly, the Indian State continues to operate out of 90-year-old repurposed colonial homes retained after independence” - but PM @narendramodi is set to change this with Central Vista!
Central Vista is an elaborately laid out ambitious plan of the @narendramodi government to serve twin objectives of heritage conservation and capacity expansion of the government’s physical infrastructure for efficient, effective, and improved governance. firstpost.com/india/opinion-…
Hindus need to shed their non expansionist nature. In any case, cornerstone of our faith is that we are like a flowing river and must adapt as times and circumstances!
It just occurred to me that if anyone calls me a Hindu supremacist , why shud I take it as an abuse / on the contrary it is a badge of honour as it actually reinforces our belief that we are better than others as we are NOT religion but a dharma!
World over past 1400 yrs has seen supremacy of Abrahamic faiths;yet it is constantly @ war with itself. Abt time, 3rd largest faith takes its rightful place/perhaps those who are organising DGH conference feel that rise of Hindus is a foregone conclusion n hence preemptive move!
Portals of Sri Kedarnath Ji opened this year on 17th May when second wave was at its peak. India saw 2.81 lakhs cases that day and it was DM Manuj Goyal who requested for taking Sri Kedarnath Ji Doli on vehicle up to last road head.
Can you Mr @Severus_3 remind Shukla of that shloka from Ramayan where Bali, in the presence of Bhagwan, tells Angad to respect time and situations- Hindu dharma is NOT rigid like Abrahamic faiths!
