Apparently, this is the video that is all the rage right now. Just how much of a disconnect does Corporate 'Official' India have with ground realities can be sadly illustrated through this 2023 version of India Shining / Glowing / Dazzling clip.

I wonder if Mr. Deepak Bagla has even heard of #YatiNarsinghanandSaraswati or for that matter, #BajrangMuni? And if he hasn't heard of them, has he heard the names of the latest victims; namely Junaid, Nasir and Waris amongst many others?
Has he heard of the crazy Love Jihad rally that came out in Mumbai of all cities before he numbs us into submission with his pointless numbers?
Does he know we are sitting on a tinderbox & all this can come down like a pack of cards because of the masters he chooses to serve?
If everything is so great can he explain why the demographic of young Indians made the largest lot of immigrants to scoot of their country throughout the world last year?
Does he know that our judiciary is in shambles, all other independent institutions have been hollowed out, and our democracy exists only in name?
And that in the 9000 days to come when India will turn a 100 years since independence (by his calculations, not mine), we might have already become a Hindu rashtra whose inescapable fate nobody in can deny anymore, if these crazies were to be voted back to power?
You do not project a country's great future by simply taking a large base and extrapolating everything out of proportion. You do that by looking at all sorts of fundamentals; particular social indices which have gone from bad to worse over the last 8 years!
Such vacuous puffery with flagrant disregard and humongous disinterest for epic scale social unrest that ignores people's pathetic 'lived' realities should make us sick to the pit of our stomachs.
And yet, this is the crap that is doing the rounds of social media currently?!

Oh, the delusion these moneybags must suffer from to not even notice the deep and treacherous crevice we may just slip into anytime soon as a nation!
Seriously, at no point in our recent history has hubris and optimism joined forces with such stunning moral bankruptcy. All the best to us.

As the knives keep coming out for Arvind and AAP, this short thread to keep it real. The fact that this is an unequal challenge at an extraordinary time should not be lost on anyone, but I guess even the obvious has to be said categorically these days. So here goes:
The liberal intelligentsia wants to hear from AK a pitch perfect version that ticks all boxes. A suave, and 'electorally relevant' AK knows how important it is to first "stay in the game" to take out the BJP and knows better than to read from that 'no skin in the game' script.
This enrages liberals who expect nothing better than perfection when they want someone to speak truth to power. Read, real liberals, not INC supporters, most of who have lost the plot on how an electoral democracy with 'first past the post' system functions at all these days.
