How UPA made India dependent on China

In 2004, India had a trade SURPLUS of $1.75 billion with China

How did it become a $38 billion DEFICIT by 2014?

Here is how UPA did it by setting "trade targets"

(1/n)

In 2004, UPA came to power with support of Indian Communists

In 2005, Chinese PM visited India

That is when Dr. Singh set a target of $20 billion in trade with China

This day in 1969, Indira Gandhi's govt seized all banks in India

22 years since independence, Cong policies had made India even poorer than in 1947

Cong began process of finding scapegoats

In classic dictator style, they said people had no money because banks took it all

1/n
Indira Gandhi then brought Manmohan Singh as Chief Economic Adviser to turn India into hard Communist state

They said Gareebi Hatao

Next step was to blame rich people.

So Indira-Manmohan team raised top tax rate to 98%

So now top liberals claiming that Syed Ahmad Khan, the father of two nation theory, was an Indian patriot

Liberals are using the Modi years to revise their own version of history

The day Modi is out of power, new hero will not be Nehru

It will be Aurangzeb & Syed Ahmad Khan If you think glorification of Nehru was too much, think again.

Liberals hate Nehru also, because of his Hindu name

The day Modi is out of power, liberals wont bring back old textbooks.

They will write a new textbook with Aurangzeb & Syed Ahmad Khan as heroes.

Liberals say Nehru dynasty built hospitals not temples

Total lies

Did you know?

In 1966, there was 1 govt MBBS seat for every 37000 people

By 2013, only 1 govt MBBS seat for every 55,000 people!

Effectively, govt produced LESS doctors in 2013 than in 1966!

Imagine! Read this ToI article from 2013 to see how badly Nehru dynasty did

And now see how Modi govt changed everything

Govt medical colleges up from 154 in 2011, to 181 in 2019 to 302 now! ImageImage

One of the biggest lies in modern India is that MMS gave us 1991 reforms

No

MMS was hardcore Nehruvian who gave us crisis of 1991

Since 1971, he was in the system

Do you know how many big promotions he got for supporting Nehruvian economics?

Reforms were forced by IMF

(1/n) Economic Adviser(1971)
Chief Economic Adviser (1972-76)
Director, RBI (1976-80)
Finance Secy (1977)
RBI Governor(1982-85)
Dy Chair, Planning Commission (1985-87)

Do you think he got these promotions by speaking truth to power?

No, he was hardcore Nehruvian who caused the crisis

Ironically, BJP's work of bringing gas connections to every household came back to bite them in Karnataka

High price of gas cylinders made people angry

Cong ruled 4 decades by freezing India in time

A uniquely successful political experiment with no match anywhere in the world Cong understood that development is a threat to those in power

If you unlock aspiration,people naturally want more and more in life

Govt will always fall behind

Between 1950-1991, India became 3 times poorer compared to rest of the world

But Nehru, Indira, Rajiv all became PM

It has been bothering me to see the amount of pro-Russian sentiment in Indian media (and social media)

India is strictly neutral in the Ukraine conflict.

Neither with the US, nor with Russia.

People should remember this. For example, there was a report last week that the US gave quick real time intel to India, which helped India stop a Chinese incursion effort in Arunachal.

This is very significant, but Indian media sort of deliberately ignored it.

Punjab economy collapsing

Previously Punjab used to be 2nd last in GST among big states

Now Punjab is last, behind Bihar also

Final decline began after so called farmer movement

You can hate "bhakts" but they were right

Will Andolanjeevis come to help Punjab economy now? Andolanjeevis destroyed what was left of Punjab economy

Now liberals will try to push disillusioned youth to separatism

Already one big liberal said Govt of India should write off Punjab's debt with money from other states

Plan to create fight between states & tear India apart

A lot of Indians yearn for our country to become a superpower

The sad realization is that it takes lot of hard work, and favorable circumstances.

And saddest of all, many generations

Let's just look at America, for instance.

1/n
For the first 100 yrs or so, America was an agricultural, almost backward nation.

Bank credit cycles depended on harvest seasons.

One reads with wonder about people like George Peabody begging around in London for investors who would trust American (mostly Maryland) bonds.

The British are probably the world's finest propagandists.

1. Most people (including most Americans) don't realize how tiny a role Britain actually played in WW2

2. Britain managed to even make people believe the British empire was some kind of decent, benign force. 3. If you look at the allied conferences during WW2, from Tehran to Yalta, you will see that FDR & Stalin barely took Churchill seriously..but see Churchill's image today.

Someone needs to rewrite history of freedom struggle, & correct distortions by leftist historians

Idea of Bharat Mata itself comes from Bankim Chandra & his Vande Mataram

Rashbehari Bose who started INA in Japan and gave its command to Netaji in 1942, was from Hindu Mahasabha Leftist & Nehruvian historians have tried to cleverly wipe out this clearly visible Hindu arc from our freedom movement

Bankim Chandra, Sri Aurobindo, Rashbehari Bose ... these were hardly Nehruvian Congis or Communists as we would imagine today...

Last few days have been the end of innocence for Indians

India is now a truly global player

Short sellers, foreign billionaires and their shady NGOs.

No friends, no enemies, no good, no bad, just a complex maze of interests

Many Westerners already know this. Time we did too. USA is an ally when it stands up to China

USA is an enemy when its military industrial complex tries to hijack our country

In international relations, "friends" often stab each other in the back. "Enemies" can often help out.

There is no morality, no emotion.

Only reality.

Did u know BBC gets ppl arrested?

Even if you dont watch BBC, everyone with TV in UK must pay for BBC

If you dont pay, BBC sends goons to door

Over 1 lakh are prosecuted each yr

Dozens sent to jail

Dear BBC, first release your political prisoners

Then lecture on free speech If you don't pay your electricity bill, it is a civil matter.

But if you dont pay for BBC, it is a *criminal* offense

So BBC collects hafta from poor people or throws them in jail.

They send goons to doors of ordinary people

But they are crying over 1 visit from IT Dept.

I am always amazed that people lack a sense of history.

Do you know what was the greatest thing America ever built?

Union Pacific Railroad

And the financing of that railroad is tied to infamous Credit Mobilier scandal

Billionaire vs short seller

No good guy or bad guy here India is in middle of greatest infra expansion in history

There will be accusations of all sorts, some true, some false

In the US, accusations of overbuilding & overleveraging lead to great Railroad panic of 1873

Sound familiar?

Again BBC tried to connect RSS to Fascist Italy in its series on Modi

Did BBC tell you?

--Mussolini gifted Vatican to Pope

--Pope declared Mussolini as man sent by God

--Pope supported Mussolini's racist laws against Jews

BBC demonizes Hindus but doesnt talk of Church crimes Did BBC tell you?

-- Mussolini gave 1 billion lira to the Pope in return for support to fascism

-- Church supported Mussolini carrying out genocide in Ethiopia

-- Church ordered its newspaper to remain silent on Nazi atrocities because they wanted to keep Mussolini happy

Despite Axis poll, I still think BJP will win HP.

Like in Uttarakhand, it seems BJP can now break incumbency cycles

Would still be surprised if AAP gets >10% in Gujarat

If it does, BJP has a new nationwide rival to contend with Because entire ecosystem is capable of switching its loyalty to AAP quite easily

AAP has no baggage

Democracy never stops.

Cong mukt Bharat is here.

Modi did it!

And like any great victory, it will unleash forces that nobody could have imagined.

OMG

Lapid told Wire that Kashmir Files is propaganda bec it shows bad guys like cartoon villains

Example he gave is that main villain had strange tick in his eye

He had the tick bec his character is based on Yasin Malik,who has a tick in his eye

Liberals made this fool a hero Lapid calls the tick in the eye of the main villain as a "bad joke"

No, you ignorant fool

It was not a joke

It was based on an actual person

You spoke without knowing the history

Why are eastern states (Bihar/WB/JH/OD) poor?

Did you know how Nehru destroyed these states with his "freight equalization policy"?

Read to find out how Nehru's policy (which lasted from 1952-1993) stole industry from these states. Nehru made a rule that for certain raw materials like coal, iron ore etc, the price of moving goods by train will be the same no matter the distance

So cost of carrying coal from Jharkhand to Kolkata will be same as cost of carrying coal from Jharkhand to Mumbai!

Comments on "Kashmir Files" by Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid are disturbing

What does he find "vulgar" about making a movie on the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus?

If he had made such insensitive comments against any other group of people, there would be severe global outcry Such comments prove that Hinduphobia around the world has reached astonishing levels.

Don't forget that even Mani Ratnam was called "Right wing Hindu hyper-nationalist" by Huffington Post

Why? Because of the film Roja

Is it wrong to make movies on terrorism in Kashmir?

A "journalist" from India is currently being trained as a lobbyist in USA on some kind of crony fellowship

To understand how these Washington DC lobbies work, let us look at the other 4 power brokers in her batch on this crony "fellowship"

Let us call them A, B , C & D A is long time worker in US Senate. After her retirement, she joined one of world's biggest auto firms as in charge of "govt relations"

This is how US politicians make money. Once their political career ends, big corps hire them to use contacts to lobby the govt for favors

Indians dont quite realize just how bad the Nehru Dynasty monopoly era (1947-91) was.

By 2011, only ~35% of Indians had bank accounts

Can you imagine what the number was in 1991?

40+ years after independence, India was in pathetic condition while world moved far far ahead! In 2014, just ~8% of rural households had tap water.

This is ~25 years after 1991

I'm scared to ask what the figure was in 1991?

Was it even 1%?

What kind of govt did we have under Nehru dynasty that 99% of village homes did not even get tap water after 40 years of freedom?
