Hope our leaders and the government are taking in the torrent of change that is awaiting us. We may have had some insight into much of this already but our capability to take advantage of the time and the opportunities has been minimal. This is the Peter Anderson interview of Marc Anderson who claim...

BJP lost due to effective vote transfer among the opposition alliance. They got their caste arithmetic right this time, unlike in 2019, where BJP benefited. Other factors like social media mood, economic situation/umemployment, farm law, agnipath/govt job situation, were also there but their impact...

Almost half of the 2nd term was stymied by battling COVID and also in the middle of it dealing with Farm Law agitations and pulling back from it. Getting to where we are now is already a big achievement, IMO.

I have another theory. Perhaps a bit wild. I call it the Curse of the 4 Shankaracharyas or perhaps more appropriately, the Curse of hubris. It's always some curse or the other. Hubris, over-confidence, laziness, argumentative, castism etc., etc. A cursed country and a cursed people... (Said in a me...

Now BJP down to 241

I was checking the eci website for Coimbatore constituency. As of 12.04 pm it was showing a total of just 1 lakh votes as having been counted. Usually by noon in TN voting would practically be over. But here only around 15% of votes have been counted. Very strange. Perhaps, just some delays in uplo...

Now BJP down to 227 out of 331 with trends

Dumal

In Coimbatore, Annamalai is trailing after about 1L votes counted... Still a long way to go but trending down.

Roughly would it be about 25% votes counted by now on average across the board?

BJP 225 leads out of 516 with trends

While UP etc., have actual counts upto 1st round, TN for example still shows no count at all for individual constituencies.

If the alert was made on March 7 and was specifically for the following 48 hours, how does that really count towards what happened a full 2 weeks later, even for its PR value.

On the point of Sanskrit, IMO, we should resist the temptation to give any undue role for it as a language. It has an incredibly complicated grammar that will at best make it accessible only to highly educated circles. Even the phonetics will make it hard for less trained tongues, let alone the gram...

India Suspends visa to Canadians. Also , Cananda would likely reciprocate in a few hours. That may be what we wanted to happen.

How clean are the railway facilities overall? What about the tracks? Have they cleaned up the garbage and litter? or is it still pervasive and people still litter and leave garbage out on the tracks? On this point, unfortunately there has been no change and litter only continues to pile up more and...

Still doesn't add up quite! Does that mean the govts there can tell the courts how to interpret the laws, that too differentially? That just defeats the purpose.

My take is even if there is a power grab, CCP will have managed it such that, for example Xi is kept on a tight leash but basically faking it as the supreme leader for another year or so, and when most of the world loses interest in it, quietly give way to a new leader under the garb of ill-health e...

The positives that BRF has brought on, for which I am thankful, aside, I just hate seeing the vitriol, knee-jerk reactions, short-sighted rants for the 24, 48, 72 hrs, and sometimes into weeks everytime something terrible happens - a bad election result, a Pulwama-like setback, Udaipur, etc. As some...

Read on twitter PM Modi saying "whatever I did was for the farmers. What I am doing is for the country". If this was indeed stated as such, clearly there must have been conditions much worse than just the continuing protests that forced his hands.
