Some folks are exulting as UK has had its first Hindu PM. Well the irony is that he has become the PM not because of his Hindu roots but because UK saw him as the most capable amongst the lot to sort out the mess. This also points out to the bane that Indian…1/7
polity suffers with, to offer positions on the basis of identity. Sadly & unfortunately, a whole host of our intellectuals and media personnel promote this peculiarity as they too suffer from the same mindset.

Some folks are lamenting why India is not so diverse….2/7
These are motivated people who view the world from only Hindu-Muslim prism and erroneously believe that the only way Bharat can become diverse is when she has a Muslim as PM. Also, their colonial mindset is wired to appreciate and give credit to the west for all…3/7
that is good in the world and blame India for all, well almost all, that is not. They fail to appreciate the fact that India has an Adivasi Dalit woman as it’s President, a chaiwala as it’s PM and a rikshaw wala as a CM. If this is not diversity then nothing is…4/7
Many are glad that an Indian origin person has become UK PM and perhaps expect he will adopt a pro-India stance. They seem to be living in denial. Past experience tells us that any consequential post held by an Indian origin person abroad has never ever helped India….5/7
If at all, to prove their home country loyalty, more often than not, they adopt a rather belligerent stand on India.

But for me, what is a matter of happiness is that #RishiSunak’s ascendency is a perfect rebuttal to Winston Churchill’s racist views….6/7
He called Indian’s names & people with low calibre. A brown man leading Churchill’s own nation is like a slap on his face by his own countrymen & women!!…7/7

1.Demolished Nehruvian order of crony socialism and darbari culture, showing Lutyen’s media & Khan Market Gang its rightful place.

As he turns 72 today, I ponder on what differentiates PM #Modi the most from his political rivals? On serious reflection, if I were to answer it in a sentence, it is that while his rivals work towards family & self preservation at the cost of national interests,…1/15
Modi is an epitome of self sacrifice and symbolises the true spirit of nationalism and love for countrymen. However, this calls for a detailed explanation, so please allow me to provide a few pointers in this thread:

As soon as he assumed PM office…2/15
he demolished the coterie, monarchy’s self perpetuating tool, comprising of power brokers & rent seekers in the garb of intellectuals, journalists, think tank experts, bureaucrats, historians, authors etc. This resulted in two positive outcomes:…3/15

Do number of hours you put in define your commitment to your job? Is it how you should look at your job? (A perspective)

As the debate rages on #worklife balance vis a vis commitment to work, which in some sections is also now being equated with the no of hours put in by…1/7
employees, I feel, we are missing the real point that is ‘meaningful work’. On this aspect the following three questions are critical:

1. Are you self #motivated to do what you do?

This has a direct linkage with your #purpose to work. The purpose could be linked to…2/7
personal/family/organisational/societal needs. Without getting into a moral debate on what type of purpose is more appropriate, it really does not matter as long as you have a purpose which motivates you to go to work.

2. Do you like what you do?

This relates to…3/7

Nehru’s legacy:

India’s first working PM (India’s first PM, provisional, was Netaji) Jawaharlal #Nehru , who remained PM of our poverty stricken country for 17 years consecutively, could call to his credit only a single AIIMS, an ISRO, a BARC, a few IITs & a handful…1/9
of money guzzling Public Sector Enterprises (white elephants) to maintain whom Indian tax payers had to pay through their noses. This is the legacy that #Congress party, Gandhis & their acolytes tom-tom about. Is it really worth it, forget bragging about it?? Shameful !!…2/9
A nation neck deep in poverty & illiteracy, in the first 17 plus years were denied food, roads, health, poverty alleviation programmes, housing, toilets, drinking water and electrification. In the name of education, there were these hand full of institutions developed…3/9

This thread is in response to an ex economic advisor who gets all his data from taxi drivers, ex RBI gov who failed miserably & ex FM who successfully did farming worth crores in his kitchen garden, all claiming India is going Sri Lanka way.

Let us review key parameters…1/12

Muslim Brotherhood (MB)

Started in Egypt in 1928, it is said that British intelligence had a big hand in promoting it. It’s goal is to have a confederation of states governed by Sharia under a caliphate. Hence, it aims to dislodge established regimes & impose Sharia rule…1/12
It dethroned Egypt govt and ruled for an year before it itself got kicked out & was banned in Egypt. It tried to do the same in Saudi Arabia but were caught & banned in 2014. Hamas is its militant front & it has strong affiliations with Al-Qaeda. MB was one of the big…2/12
instigators of the Arab spring. It spews its venom through Al-Jazeera in Qatar where it has a big base…yes, the same Qatar which internationalized Nupur Sharma issue. However, perhaps it’s biggest support base is Turkey. Even US is said to provide is back room backing to…3/12
