India came very close to collapse and chaos after Rajiv Gandhi’s years of profligacy. VP Singh’s National Front Govt, followed by Congress-backed Chandra Shekhar’s non-Govt, took the tottering economy to the brink of disaster. PV Narasimha Rao rescued and resuscitated economy.

From pawning India’s gold to barely stay afloat, signing humiliating MoUs with IMF, and excising the canker of Nehruvian socialism, to a remarkable post-pandemic recovery and emerging as the fastest growing economy in a killer virus savaged world, #India has come a long way.
n2
PM @narendramodi has set #India on a trajectory that can only take us higher. #AtmanirbharBharat is not just a slogan, it is the foundation of a resilient and resurgent India. The successful #COVID19 vaccine programme with no foreign help shows India can and shall surge ahead.
n3
Wishing #India flounders, fails and descends into chaos is nothing new. Congress and its #LeftLiberal lackeys—parjeevis, andolanjeevis and buddhijeevis— are programmed to wish India’s fall and the nation’s return to the days of bhookha-nanga Bharat. Their algorithm is such.

Quote wisely, not blindly from '100 Best Quotes' on Google.
"The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past and every sinner has a future" is from Act 3 of Oscar Wilde's play 'A Woman of No Importance'.
Its meaning is entirely different.
n1
Oscar Wilde meant exactly the opposite of what he penned; he would be hooting, laughing and rolling in his grave that he has been quoted so severely out of context by the Learned.
In the play, the line is spoken by an amoral and dishonorable Lord Illingworth.
n2
What Oscar Wilde / Lord Illingworth meant is that saints are fools for having given up lives centered on illicit sensual pleasure, while sinners can look forward to such pleasure.
May I recommend 'A Woman of No Importance' as summer vacation reading?

Various State Governments have schemes for journalists’ welfare. This is necessitated by three facts: vast majority of journalists are poorly paid; transition from print to digital has been messy causing job losses; media houses are happy to let Govts pay for benefits.
n1
I’d not judge journalists, especially those left behind by the switchover from print to digital because media houses did not invest in skills upgradation, for accepting Govt dole. Let’s not forget most media is funded by Govt advertising which keeps media owners in luxury.
n2
A case in point is the humongous amount of money that CM Arvind Kejriwal pumps into Lutyens Media (and even media across country). Or how West Bengal Govt has used advertising and other benefits to beat media into abject submission.
We could go on and on with examples.

Hold the biriyani. Mute the music. Wipe your smiles.
Alleged law handles and @PTI_News are (deliberately?) misreporting UP Govt withdrawing 2019 notices to #CAA vandals for damaging public property.
SC has said damages must be recovered from CAA vandals, but under 2020 law.
n1
UP will now reframe notices under its 2020 law and serve them again on #CAA vandals and quantum etc will be determined by tribunal to be set up under 2020 law.
All those gloating and celebrating that SC has blocked punishments for #CAA vandals, please don’t order biriyani yet.
n2
Here are the details of UP Govt reframing notices under 2020 law to punish #CAA vandals and make them pay damages for destroying public property.
Supreme Court has unequivocally said: “There has to be accountability when public property is damaged…”

My humble tribute to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his 125th birth anniversary. His contribution to the freedom struggle is incomparable. Independent #India 🇮🇳 owes him an immense debt of gratitude.
🙏🏼
1/4 Image
The decision to install a magnificent statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose under the canopy at India Gate, where once stood the statue of King George V, King Emperor of colonial British India, is a fitting tribute to a national hero.
2/4 Image
Prime Minister @narendramodi will inaugurate a hologram of Netaji’s statue today, marking his 125th birth anniversary, pending the installation of the granite statue.
It will also mark the formal start of Republic Day celebrations.
