There is this argument that 2024 is a do-or-die battle for Cong & co and they will throw everything but the kitchen sink at it.
IMO it's wrong.
2024 is not the end. It's the beginning. They will keep getting more and more extreme with each election cycle.
And a big part of Bjp's
defense consists of banking on Modi's stature. Will that continue into 2029? Will bjp get a successor half as charismatic post-M?
The only way bjp can continue to be a bulwark against anarchist forces is by delivering strong eco growth and much higher overall governance outcomes.
And when we talk of governance, it's not just at the centre. In fact, even more so, in the states. When BJP was in the backfoot post 2004 for a decade, it's the strong governance record of MP, CH and a third state that i forget now, which held the fort. The record of current crop
of state govts run by bjp is not that inspiring. I know ppl will say Yogi but i will wait for a longer period of strong delivery to be sure.

Tambrahms as a community have been hugely successful - educationally and economically - meaningfully outperforming Brahmin communities from rest of india as well. What are the social and cultural factors behind this success? On the face of it, high value placed on education
a disciplined lifestyle, importance given to religion and family, a strong sense of social identity and pride appear to a few factors. But this would have been true of many other B communities as well, no?
I come from Kerala side of TBs. AFAIK there is no discrimation against us in KL but hv done very well. The community is held with immense respect and there is a saying abt TBs as regards their educational proficiency "there is no one dumb among TBs".

So Indians are now mocking fellow Indians by calling them Pajeets?
These pajeet fellows are beyond redemption.
Online casteist trad mofos are literally the worst sentient beings on this hellsite and by God, it's not due lack of competition. Absolute POS.
It's even worse my friend. Lot of RW ppl also call themselves "proud bhakts". What to do?

Going through @opinion 's legendary Indian columnist Andy mukherjee's articles over last few yrs, its remarkable how consistently he has been wrong with his predictions. A thread:
1) Starting with his most legendary one. Since the time he wrote India's
bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-…
epitaph, the eco has seen a dramatic cyclical bounceback, india is the key location for cos pursuing at China + one strategy, our global stature has gone up and our eco has been among the best in weathering the Ukrainian crisis + Fed tightening.
The fella was RT'ing this piece
every few days thru mid 2021. Not anymore.
2) here is Andy M warning India was facing a serious inflation issue in May 2022. Well, India has done phenomenally well in managing inflation by any yardstick and we are likely past the worst
