It is hard to believe any report coming from Oxfam whose credibility has tanked (under investigation for FCRA violations, taking partisan positions on different political matters) and that publishes a report based on inadequate research and void of valid data sources. (1/n)
Oxfam is also known for interfering in political matters & energy security through well planned and executed protests. Recently, it protested outside the European Parliament under hashtag #FoodNotFuel and amplified it through various media vehicles. (2/n) oxfam.org/en/press-relea…

Pic One - Congress & Bollywood ganged up to blamed RSS for the 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attack
Pic two - The Truth
Never Forget that 26/11 was a fixed match between UPA govt and ISI. The UPA govt let the massacre happen so they can later blame this on RSS.
The delaying of NSG was not coincidental

39 tonnes of GOLD worth Rs19,500 crores was bought by the Indian Middle class in one single day on #Dhanteras
30% YoY increase in the sales of white goods during the festive season.
All Car showrooms are empty as they don't have cars to sell. Even their Demo cars got sold off.
This demonstrates the purchasing power of the Indian Middle-class as the Indian Super rich and HNI do not buy Physical gold anymore as they have shifted to buying Digital gold sold by RBI which fetches them 2.5% interest.
This kind of Festive spending has never been seen before

In other news, India defeated Pakistan in the #T20WorldCup match at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground by 4 wickets
Here are various reactions to this win:
➡Indian Express Headline -
"And The Hindus Humiliated Muslims in Melbourne'.
➡Pakistan Govt denies that it ever sent a cricket team to Melbourne. It says the evidence provided by India is doctored. It challenges India to produce "unequivocal evidence" & not merely claim it won the match yesterday.
➡ Congress and AAP has supported Pakistan's claim.

Income Tax Slabs during Indira Gandhi tenure
For 10 lakhs income, Tax was 9.33 Lakhs
For 5 Lakhs income, the Income tax was 4.45 Lakhs.
Meaning whatever you earned it belongs to government
This was the foundation of Black money generation and Corruption.
Average inflation rate during Indira Gandhi's 15 year tenure was 20%.
Bank Interest rates were 18%.
That is how the Nehru Gandhi Dynasty ruled. That is why they installed just 16 GW power in first 30 yrs of rule. Everything got taxed including Radio. No jobs after passing out.
