There was a lot more to #HemantKarkare than met the eye.

In his statement before an #NIA court, #Malegaon blast accused Col Purohit slams Karkare & other ATS officers for fabricating evidence in 2008 to implicate “saffron terrorism” during UPA1.

Rahul Gandhi's Caste Census, Sam Pitroda's relevance, Stages of CIVIC WARS, and the Agniveers.

Don't be fooled. Rahul Gandhi's call for a caste-based census has nothing to do with caste reservations.

It has everything to do with future Civic Unrest. It's a blueprint.

Very well argued affidavit. Almost irrefutable points.

Point 1: 123 elections have taken place in the past 5 years & if interim bail is granted for campaigning, then no politician can be kept in judicial custody since polls take place around the year.
Point 2: Campaigning is part of a politician's job and, following the rule of equality, small farmers or small traders can also seek interim bail to carry out the demands of their work. It also stressed that Kejriwal is not even contesting the ongoing elections.
Point 3: "If Kejriwal) is given interim relief on the ground he is a politician for the purposes of campaigning in the general elections for his party, will not all politicians incarcerated in one case or the other seek similar treatment saying all politicians are a special class

Raul and his coterie statements are all to do with breaking Hindu individual in lines of caste to purely secure there long term survivability.

BJP win based on unity among Upper caste, OBC and Dalit is causing eye sore for these naxal vermins.
cong can survive purely by splitting Hindu votes.

at any cost this should not be allowed.

Questions to folks and gurus here. Modi recently mentioned Ambani and Adani and some folks like Tavleen were calling it out as a blunder.

Does anyone have a better perspective on that ? Also, will share an article published in CNN recently about how Modi, Ambani and Adani and in future more similar powerhouses will be needed to change India into a growing power. (Quite surprising that it was published on CNN).

Surprising article published in CNN.

I just hope we Indians understand that we are standing at the Cusp of staring at bright sunshine ahead (diplomatically, militarily & economically speaking). First three terms will see a solid foundation being laid down and then only we will see an increasingly large return on this foundation provided we continue with right policies going forward.

For all this we need right govt in power with comfortable margin over full majority to frame policies and build framework within which Indian population can with their skills push themselves ahead and as a result take country forward.

I hope people understand this is central govt election where issues like following matter:
  • Independent Pro India foreign policy
    Apt handling of internal and external security threats
    Strong Space & military equipment & infrastructure build up
    Greater Indigenization across various sectors including defense (not just customization of a foreign developed/researched product)
    Welfare & Schemes reach out to all sections of our society
    Road, Ports etc infrastructure development
    Economic framework & model to attract FDI, Turn India into manufacturing hub and a Product based nation in addition to great service sector
This is not an election for solving or pestering oneself with petty local issues. Please consider that for state elections.


Billionaires alone won’t turn Narendra Modi’s India into a rich country

Gautam Adani (left), Narendra Modi (center) and Mukesh Ambani (right) are building modern India.
New Delhi
CNN

In March, a quiet coastal town in the western Indian state of Gujarat could have given both Davos and Coachella a run for their money.

That’s when billionaires and movie stars from around the world jetted to Jamnagar, overwhelming its small airport with private planes and chartered flights. They were all there to party with Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani.

The 67-year old chairman of India’s most valuable private company Reliance Industries had thrown a lavish pre-wedding bash for his son, welcoming around 1,200 guests from Silicon Valley, Bollywood and beyond. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Ivanka Trump were among the many high-profile celebrities in attendance.

The three-day celebration, which saw performances by popstar Rihanna and magician David Blaine, transfixed India and further underscored Ambani’s growing global clout.

But Ambani was not the only Indian businessman at the bash whose staggering influence and riches are reshaping the world’s most populous country.

Fellow billionaire Gautam Adani, founder of the Adani group, was also invited. The infrastructure tycoon has stunned the world with his supercharged rise in the last decade. In 2022, he briefly ousted Jeff Bezos as the world’s second-wealthiest person.

“They are phenomenal … entrepreneurs, who have been able to sustain steady growth and development in a vibrant yet sometimes chaotic political and business environment that exists in India,” said Rohit Lamba, an economist at Pennsylvania State University.

Investors have been cheering the duo’s ability to adroitly bet on sectors prioritized for development by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, currently campaigning for his third consecutive term to lead India.

The South Asian country is poised to become a 21st-century economic powerhouse, offering a real alternative to China for investors hunting for growth and manufacturers looking to reduce risks in their supply chains.

Reliance Industries and the Adani Group are sprawling conglomerates worth over $200 billion each, with established businesses in sectors ranging from fossil fuels and clean energy to media and technology.

As a result, these three men — Modi, Ambani and Adani — are playing a fundamental role in shaping the economic superpower India will become in the coming decades.

The new Rockefellers
In India’s financial capital Mumbai, the fingerprints of the two businessmen are everywhere, starting from the bustling international airport, which is operated by Adani.

Their names are plastered across the city — from the bubble lettering of the Adani Group logo propped up beside highways to high-rise apartment buildings branded with Adani Realty, to cultural institutions named after the Ambani clan.

Some spaces need no names or bright labels, but their affiliations are just as obvious. Everyone in Mumbai knows who lives in Antilia — the personal skyscraper of Ambani and his family, which reportedly cost $2 billion to build and boasts a spa, three helipads and a 50-seat theater. The 27-story building sits on a street dubbed “Billionaires’ Row,” its jutting geometric architecture looming over the neighborhood.

The kind of power and influence these Indian tycoons enjoy has been seen before in other countries experiencing periods of rapid industrialisation.

Both Ambani and Adani are often compared by journalists to John D Rockefeller, who became America’s first billionaire during the Gilded Age, a 30-year period in the last decades of the 19th century.

During those decades, industrialists saw their fortunes ascend to staggering heights thanks to the rapid expansion of trains, factories and urban centers across America. Other famous names including Frick, Astor, Carnegie, and Vanderbilt also shaped the country’s infrastructure.

More recently in Asia, “chaebols” or giant family-run conglomerates have dominated the South Korean economy for decades and many of them, including Samsung and Hyundai, have become global leaders in semiconductors and autos.

“India is in the middle of something that America and lots of other countries have already gone through. Britain in the 1820s, South Korea in the 1960s and 70s, and you could argue China in the 2000s,” said James Crabtree, the author of The Billionaire Raj, a book about India’s wealthy.

It is “normal” for developing nations to go through such a period of rapid growth, which sees “income accumulation at the very top, rising inequality and lots of crony capitalism,” he added.


The Indian economy has many of those characteristics.

Worth $3.7 trillion in 2023, it is the world’s fifth largest economy, jumping four spots in the rankings during Modi’s decade in office and leapfrogging the United Kingdom.

It is comfortably placed to expand at an annual rate of at least 6% in the coming few years, but analysts say the country should be targeting growth of 8% or more if it wants to become an economic superpower.

Sustained expansion will push India higher up the ranks of the world’s biggest economies, with some observers forecasting the South Asian nation to become number three behind only the US and China by 2027.


Despite these successes, soaring youth unemployment and inequality remain stubbornly persistent problems. In 2022, the country ranked a lowly 147 on gross domestic product (GDP) per person, a measure of living standards, according to the World Bank.

Coal to solar, oil to internet
To spur growth, the Modi government has begun a massive infrastructure transformation by spending billions on building roads, ports, airports and railways.

It is also heavily promoting digital connectivity, which can improve both commerce and daily life.

Both Adani and Ambani have become key allies as the country embarks on this revolution.

“These conglomerates are very, very important and very well connected,” said Guido Cozzi, professor of macroeconomics at the University of St Gallen in Switzerland, noting that both the Adani Group and Reliance Industries were founded years before Modi came to power.

“They are not typical stagnant monopolistic conglomerates. They are pretty dynamic,” Cozzi said. Not only are they playing “an important role” in building infrastructure, which helps “growth directly,” the two business groups are also helping the country expand “indirectly” by boosting connectivity through digital innovation, he explained.


Reliance was founded by Ambani’s father, Dhirubhai, as a small yarn trading firm in Mumbai in 1957. Over the next few decades, it grew into a colossal conglomerate spanning energy, petrochemicals and telecommunications.

After his father’s death, and following a bitter feud with his younger brother, Ambani inherited the company’s main oil and petrochemicals assets. He then spent billions transforming it into a tech juggernaut.

In less than a decade, Ambani has not only upended India’s telecom sector, but also become a top player in sectors ranging from media to retail.

His ambition and breathless pace of expansion is matched by Adani, a college drop-out who now helms businesses ranging from ports and power to defense and aerospace.

A first-generation entrepreneur, the 62-year-old began his career with diamond trading, before setting up a commodity trading business in 1988, which later evolved into Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL).

According to a January note by American brokerage firm Cantor Fitzgerald, AEL “is at the core of everything India wants to accomplish.”

The company functions as an incubator for Adani’s businesses. Many have been spun out and become leading players in their respective sectors. According to Cantor, the firm’s current focus on airports, roads and energy make it “a unique long-term investment opportunity.”

And while both the barons built much of their fortune from fossil fuels, they are now investing billions in clean energy. Their green energy pivot comes at a time when India has set itself some ambitious climate goals.

The world’s fastest growing major economy has other conglomerates as well. The 156-year-old Tata Group wields immense power over various key sectors ranging from steel to aviation, but it often does not invite the same scrutiny as the newer conglomerates, mainly because it is controlled by philanthropic trusts and not run as a family dynasty.

‘Too big to ignore’
Ambani and Adani are considered vocal champions of Modi. Prominent politicians from opposition parties in India have often questioned Modi’s ties with India’s super-rich, and the meteoric rise of Adani becoming a fraught issue last year.

In January 2023, the group was rocked by an unprecedented crisis when an American short-seller Hindenburg Research accused it of engaging in fraud over decades.

Adani denounced Hindenburg’s report as “baseless” and “malicious.” But that failed to halt a stunning stock market meltdown that, at one point, wiped more than $100 billion off the value of its listed companies.

Political leaders from India’s main opposition party ferociously questioned Adani’s relationship with the prime minister, and some even said that they were punished for pursuing the issue.

Since then, Adani has made a remarkable comeback, with shares in some of his companies touching record highs. Despite the scandal, the group has also managed to attract billions from new foreign investors, including US private equity firm GQG Partners.

“While that report brought to light serious concerns, we believe the company has taken actions to reduce liquidity risk, improve governance, and increase transparency,” Cantor said in its report. “Thus, at this juncture, we believe Adani is too big to ignore, and for India, we believe the country needs Adani as much as Adani needs the country.”

Now, as India votes, Modi’s perceived relationship with the billionaires is once again being questioned by rivals.

Prasanna Tantri, associate professor of finance at the Indian School of Business, said he does not have “reason to believe that things have become worse than before” when it comes to crony capitalism in India.

Some processes, particularly more transparency in allocation of India’s natural resources and the overhauling of the country’s bankruptcy laws, have been important reforms under Modi, he added.

Experts say that some amount of closeness between politicians and business elite can help in growing the nation faster.

“The optimal level of corruption in an economy is never zero,” said Crabtree, adding that India needs to build more independent institutions that can keep it under control.

However, unchecked dominance of such enormous groups may choke competition and innovation, and ultimately lead to stagnation in an economy.

The new government needs to encourage entrepreneurship and innovation by making it easier for smaller firms to raise money and getting rid of archaic laws, including land and labor rules, that can get in the way of doing business. Failing to do so, could stifle India’s future growth.


A few big conglomerates cannot absorb the million people joining the labor force every month, said Lamba, who is also co-author of Breaking the Mould, a 2023 book that examines how Asia’s third largest economy can grow faster.

“India cannot grow rich before it becomes old on the back of a few big firms like Adani or Ambani,” he said. “India should make more firms.”

A question about voting percentages in the 2024 GE? Are these percentages based on the registered voters in that district in 2024 or from 2019? In 2019 there were 912M and in 2024 there are 986.8M across India. If the latter is true, then a lower voting percentage would not make too much of a difference in seat share percentages.

Folks like Tavleen and others are smart. But they do not quite understand electoral politics like Modi-Shah duo. Let's be fair, Modi and Amit Shah are in public service and politics (combined) since we were probably sucking thumbs or may have been a glint in our parents eyes. Modi and Amit Shah have the longest record of running clean corruption free politics. A feat even Lehru could not maintain.

And they have been fighting elections for quite a while.

If Modi has brought out Ambani and Adani now, it only means that *both* Ambani and Adani have provided the information *to* Modi on how much was provided and how it was given. Of course Ambani and Adani will do this cleanly and by legal means, and Pappu will be left sucking thumb, being shown as a mafiosi hafta seeker and a carpet beggar.

Some are asking why Modi is targeting Pappu? Elevating Pappu to his level? Is Modi elevating Pappu to his level? I do not think that is the case. Modi is painting Pappu as the leader of opposition. Pappu is painted as the head of the Dotty Alliance. The opposition has several wannabes like K.K.Kejru, T.C Akhilesh Yadav, Mao Mata Jihadi didi, the Stalins and in cahoots with islamofascists like Owaisi.

In short, Pappu is the liquid oxygen in which the entire dotty alliance is being dunk'ed. The liquid part will not let them live and the oxygen part will not let them die.

And here Pappu, who claims that he is the best chess player on earth, has an ego the size of a whale while not much acumen to speak off will want to lead the dotty alliance.

Also people need something to vote against as well. If I were to rally my troops, what better will get them out and vote? Remember, the anger against Pappu/CONgoons led to CongressIs in Surat and Indore give away their fight and let those two seats win uncontested.

---

The CNN article is syndicated from Wall Street and they were pointing out that Ambani, Adani and Modi are doing what Chaebols did in S. Korea and State agencies did in China. That is, spearhead the Indian economic hyper growth. This is a virtue signal to its readers (read it as the moneybags) on whom to contact and where to put their money. If I were having say $100M in bank to invest, after reading the article, I will now know where to beeline.

Do not believe me? Take a look at this article https://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/news/2 ... lued.aspx . Net FII inflows into India for the first quarter of 2024 was up ~10%. That was adding to the froth in the Indian stock market since too much investments were chasing too few companies. And this is despite record interest rates in US.
On the likely re-election of Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), other managers and observers also have little doubt. Chetan Sehgal, portfolio manager of the Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust (TEM), predicts that the current prime minister's victory is very likely. Jason Hollands, managing director of the investment platform Bestinvest, is also on the same line, pointing out that this would be one of India's longest periods of political stability since independence.

The country overtook China in terms of economic expansion in 2023 and it is expected that the gap could widen. In its April World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund estimated real gross domestic [roduct (GDP) growth of 6.8% in 2024-25, while China is expected to grow by 4.6% this year. In 2023, the IMF estimated an increase in India's GDP of 7.8% compared to +5.2% for China.
And
1) The internationalisation of financial markets: the inclusion of Indian government bonds in the JP Morgan GBI-EM emerging markets index in June 2024 and Indian bonds in the Bloomberg EM local currency index in September could bring up to $40 billion (£32 billion) in foreign investment, according to Carmignac.

2) A financial system that favours entrepreneurship. “In this phase of rapid expansion, investors can identify interesting and innovative companies in many sectors, including financial services, high-end manufacturing, specific consumer segments and real estate,” says Gogate, but urges caution about the valuations of individual stocks.
Now look at the remittances coming into India. https://www.forbesindia.com/article/new ... t/90419/1

$122 Billion from US, UAE and UK mostly. That is huuuuuge. That is the money coming into India.

There is a reason why SEBI is tightening its rules. There are several thousands of startups that want to go public on NSE/BSE and there is a gold mine that is being chased. This is the time.

Disha,

Thanks for your inputs. I think it makes sense what you are saying about Ambani/Adani.

For all this to happen we need to keep electing right govt in power otherwise we will disappear from scene just like from 2004 to 2013 where we were become part of fragile four and forgotten in the power corridors of the world.

But the CNN article can be used against Idiots who talk about oh Modi is doing this but look at the inequality, he is only benefitting the rich etc ... It may well have been written on the prodding of Wall Street but there are points that can be used in educating locals about the nature of nation building and progress.

The issue is people are sometime gullible and can't think of long term and hence fall for petty issues and hamper real longer term nationwide growth. It's historical truth that countries are built in this way only over generations and it takes time for most backward classes (economically/socially) to reap benefits of that.

Lol to sum up this clown:
  • Exams set according to people of different castes
    Religion based reservation
    Caste survey most likely to understand needs of people for future exploitation, sharing of this data with global agencies or bidders to create potential chaos
    Now false inducement to unemployed that they will be given 1 year of employment
Why will private sector comply ?
Can they force private sector to comply ?
Also, how they are going to pay extra folks in these new positions ?
How exactly these opportunities will be created ?
With what face will they ask people to go back to unemployment after 1 year ?

This is disaster in making for future of Bharat. During next decade while India will make rapid progress inequality will only rise. Given the rising young population we will have significant unemployment rate because frankly we are very behind in our growth thanks to coalition era of 90's and then wasted period between 2004-2014. Covid also cost us 2 years.

The real challenge is when most countries went through this journey world was not so much connected and information was not all that pervasive across all sections of society. In addition to easy and broad reach of Internet, we will see AI and Gen AI type tech refining itself. Caste data will only increase the harmful effect of due to misuse of these tech by known nefarious elements (nefarious to India's interests).

Sumeet,

If the pvt sector is destroyed, then the question of compliance doesn't arise, no?

Think about it from this POV. Rahul Gandhi is dangerous precisely because people think of him as a Papu.

But he is following a clearly defined script and is hoping that rest of the nation will follow him as well. Up until now, he has not succeeded. We have to be vigilant and focused in order to insure that he doesn't succeed.

It is becoming very clear that Shri. Pappu Ghandi's backstage planners have a well defined plan to ruin India (with Pappu Ghandi being the artist who will get it done). Even the economy liberalization of 1990s was not an original idea of the INC. They were forced to do it by the western countries. Now around 30 years are over, we have seen some progress and now the West may feel it is right time to cut India to size again.

Bring back the useless socialist policies of 1960s-1980s and destory what ever was gained so far. Destory private industry, prop up the over-paid non-productive public sector industries, and via reservations force the non-reserved category to leave the country. If Shri. Pappu Ghandi wins we may see those glorious days of 1970s and 1980s. Ambassador and Fiat cars only on the roads, and having a waiting period of months to get one watch (which only HMT is allowed to make). Commies would also see a revival as communism gets lots of empty stomachs to feed on.

My take is that PM Modi was speaking in Telangana, where the Congress-led state government has recently signed MoUs with Adani for 12,400 crores of projects; and he was asking whether Rahul Gandhi who usually constantly accuses PM Modi of crony capitalism, bringing up Ambani-Adani all the time, has now fallen silent because he has received money from Ambani-Adani.

My take is also that PM Modi went a bit over the top, and gave the opposition a sound bite. But from the context, it seems to me he was saying that if Pappu who keeps saying "Ambani-Adani" is now silent, it must be because he received money.

When talent leaves the country, which country will be the major benefactor? In 50s, 60s & 70s, US needed a workforce in industrial sectors. US even started IIT and modeled the BE/BTech on 10+2+4 years, so that it funnels right into their colleges. A very talented, highly skilled workforce paid their way through masters and doctorates and became part of the "American meltingpot", where they discarded their original affiliations and adapted to the new country. All the while contributing positively to American economy (including healthcare and education sectors).

And where in the world will you find a pliable hardworking law abiding workforce who live like monks and work like bees? Only in India.

One of the goal of the BIF to prop up the "socialist CONgoon" party is not just to keep India in check, but to enable the high end immigration tap. Heck in the latest round, the immigration tap was widely opened to get its IT economy going and then the immigrants are put on GC wait. They are currently paying the social security wages of the retirees and may not get anything back in return when they go back to India.

Pappu Gandu is just evil megalomaniac retard who will do anything to grab power. The real power brokers will be operating through Pappu Gandu. If it gets too much, he will be sacrificed to get Pappini in. The son-in-law is ever waiting anyway.

^^^^ I was getting worried after Sam Pitroda was pushed out. Good thing that MSA is reactivated to campaign for BJP.

^^I think multiple toolkits have been activated to keep the number down having realised that Win for present dispensation is a foregone conclusion.
But on 4th inspite of all the Shenanigans if BJP alone can cross 300 would be big slap on the face for the collective leadership!

Only for that. He cannot officiate/perform any duties as a Chief Minister. It is only for election campaign.

Dr Patil's summary of phase 3.

Karnakata - Loss of 4 seats in phase 2. Mostly mismanagement by BJP and infighting. BJP looking at 17-20 of 28.
Maharashtra - Still confused with the BJP led front having the edge.
Gujarat - Clean sweep with an increase in vote share.
WB - BJP gain of 1-2 seats (so far) over 2019
Assam gain of 1-2 seats over 2019
UP - Phase 3 was in the Yadav heartland. BJP gains over 2019, though SP retains 1-2 seats.
Bihar - possible loss of 3-4 seats compared to 2019

Overall losses in Bihar, Mah, Karnataka (12-15 seats) should be offset by UP, WB, Assam, TN, Ker

How can you say that? :D The Supreme Court, in its Supremeness, declared thus:

"The Supreme Court, while granting Mr Kejriwal bail till June 1, said that elections are an important part of a democracy and this ruling will not raise questions about politicians getting benefits that common citizens do not."

Rahul Gandhi is dangerous precisely because people think of him as a Papu.

But he is following a clearly defined script and is hoping that rest of the nation will follow him as well. Up until now, he has not succeeded. We have to be vigilant and focused in order to insure that he doesn't succeed.
Very true. He may or may not an idiot. But he is a a major threat to Sanathana Dharma and Bharat.
