Hindus should pay his one way fare to Beijing. Right away.

But kanjoos Banias and all that. So he is safe in India. Licking the nether regions of the Hindu theocratic state.

Hongkong based South China Morning Post reports that amid covid surge, desperate Chinese are buying Indian drugs on black market

What a shattering defeat for Bloomberg and Wire and Indian leftists

They were talking about India having to buy vaccines from China

https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-ne ... 55640.html



https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politic ... eps-nation

Chinese residents have turned to the black market for generic Covid-19 drugs, as an unprecedented pandemic outbreak ramps up demand for limited supplies of approved antivirals.

China approved two Covid-19 antivirals this year – Pfizer’s Paxlovid and Azvudine, an HIV drug from Chinese firm Genuine Biotech. But both are only available in certain hospitals.

Their limited supply and steep price have driven many Chinese to opt for cheaper but illegally imported generic drugs from India.

Topics like “anti-Covid Indian generic drugs sold at 1,000 yuan (US$144) per box” have been trending on Chinese social media platform Weibo, with users exchanging messages and tips on ways to get hold of the medicines.

WA forward

By the time, sun rose in the West, a son had humbly consigned "a century of service" before Bhagwan's feet & returned to work.

Not a penny spent officially.

No VIP congregations, Queues of mourners, Cavalcades of guests.

Salutes @narendramodi ji.

That's what Dharma teaches us.
Heeraben Modi gave her son values, faith and belief in hard work.
Modi became PM of India
Another gave her son an empire to rule
He lost even Amethi
Lots to learn here

No solution to these opportunistic attacks by terrorists, till each Pandit adult get armed with pistols in Kashmir. See how Israeli civilians are armed in Muslim areas. The only problem is that there is no fight left in Pandit males. Otherwise, it would have been awesome to arm them with pistols and JVPC for personal / home defence.

Too much reliance on police and law..some times i feel hindus dont even care if getting attacked. Bihar border areas demography is changing rapidly. In Bangalore..i know..many apartment securities abd maids are bengali speaking muslims..dont even know if they are from kolkara or Bangla or Rohingyas..we are missing the instict of basic survival..

The biggest blunder of Hindus was (i) allowing Muslims to stay back in 1947, and (ii) allowing them to drastically increase their population in the decades that followed by overbreeding and infiltration of Bangladeshis.

The problem is that you are not secular enough. Follow the example of these fine Mohammedans

Hindus need to fine tune their sensibilities, for the sake of minorities.

One major problem has been the huge influx of funds from GCC to promote Islam, especially after GCC increased crude oil prices after Israel conflict.

The long and short of it is that SC couldn't have done anything. With the entire ambit of DeMo being out of their purview, this is an effete, meaningless discussion which only wasted their time.
Their messaging however was to show that they are there ...like when a local rowdy making some noise in the street to show his presence (still knowing fully well that his a$$ would be whipped if he becomes a nuisance)


https://indianexpress.com/article/india ... s-8356225/
Justice B V Nagarathna, who dissented with the majority decision, said the records showed no independent application of mind by the central bank.
:roll: Yeah Ok Madam.
While agreeing that the recommendation could have emanated from the RBIs’ Central Board or the government, Justice Nagarathna said that in the case of the latter, it should have been only through plenary legislation and not through notification.

Justice Nagarathna held that the notification was unlawful and the action of the demonetisation of currency notes was vitiated.

She, however, added that “demonetisation was an initiative of the central government targeted to address disparate evils… [It’s] beyond the pale of doubt that such a measure…was well intentioned..demonstrates foresight…at no point has any suggestion been made that the measure was motivated by anything but the best intentions and noble objects for the betterment of the nation”.

Justice Nagarathna added that she had held the measure unlawful only on a purely legalistic analysis of the relevant provisions of the Act and not on the objects of demonetisation.

I think SC egged on by moron in WH and Ford Foundation kind of NGOs were behind it encouraging them.
They did not foresee the attack on Collegium coming from the Executive. They thought they can now create the environment of Indira Gandhi when a judge overturned the election. Since they can't find any illegal act by BJP unlike IG, they are trying to find an issue that can resonate with the masses.

I don't think this is over. They will become very active in 2023 and before 2024 election to put brakes on election and help PAPPU.

Spot the tropes.

This is an article by the NYT on India's position on Russia-Ukraine.

It seems the Indian insouciance has caused some serious butt-hurt in some exalted editorial offices of the free world.

I am crestfallen, I lost my 420 bundles of 600 rupee notes. I was really hoping that they would declare it illegal and get the 600 rupee notes back in circulation. Muhaaah

Indian Intellectuals, global rankings, motivated interviews: Interview with Mr Salvatore Babones





Streamed live on 27 Dec 2022
Australian sociologist Dr Salvatore Babones participated in the India Today Conclave in Mumbai, Maharashtra to opine that India is being wrongly portrayed as a fascist state by the global media. He also cornered the left-liberal ecosystem in India who usually keeps on targeting the BJP-led government and called them ‘anti-India. This comment by Mr Babones has been the subject of several interviews and some controversy among India's Left. Here, Salvatore Babones talks about his comment, Indian intellectuals, how the global rankings are rigged and more.

I was not aware of that archives approach. I do use an adblocker. And I learnt a new word and some history-luggenpresse.

The pattern of reportage and transparent agenda seem to follow a dictated template. Rather than using a ponderous word, perhaps sniggering is sufficient. Or is that snegroing in the NYT style manual.

The heart burn among the 'seculars' on the Hon. SC verdict on Note Ban has to be seen to be believed :rotfl:. For example some Malayalam news papers actually reported the dissenting verdict as the main head line. A thing which they did not do, when the verdict was on Sabari Mala temple. On the social media too I could see big whine fests by commies who was hailing the dissenting judge.
1. Majority decision 'not Supreme Court ruling' for Congress: Kiren Rijiju
2. Wrong to say SC has upheld demonetisation, verdict does not deal with outcomes: Cong
3. Minority judgement on demonetisation a welcome slap on the wrist of govt: Chidambaram

The burnol required by Congress in this issue has to be enormous.

How is the supreme court of India qualified to comment on the consequences of any executive actions.

The voting public is the correct authority to make that determination.

In the market place of the Indian democracy. The public after due consideration has decided that the government was right.

The tendency to get SC approval for every decision of NaMo Govt that they don't agree with, is getting rather tedious.

OTOH, having gone through some property transactions lately, the DeMo effect is long gone. Sub-registrar offices and RTOs are working as if DeMo didn't happen.
IMO, DeMo was done prematurely. If it was done today (with even street vendors using UPI), it'd have a completely different effect.
It was also done partially - I failed to see the logic of new 2000 and 500 rupee notes (and thankfully, I think I don't encounter 2000 rupee notes anymore).

The street vendors wouldn't be using UPI if it wasn't for DeMo. I think the Rs 500 & Rs 2000 notes need to be withdrawn slowly from circulation.

Here are the official numbers for UPI transactions - monthly basis

Link - UPI Product Statistics

Dec 2022 - 7829.49 mn

Also w.r.t the Rs 2000 note. The GoI didnt print any two thousand rupee note in the last 3 years!

From here - Where are the Rs 2,000 notes gone? This RTI reply can give you the answer
According to an RTI reply, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has not printed a single new Rs 2,000 denomination currency notes in over last two years.

As per an RTI reply received from the Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran, which works under the RBI, '0' number of 2,000 denomination currency notes were printed in 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22.

I have not seen a Rs. 2000 note being spewed out by any ATM in the last 12 months at least. They have all been Rs. 500 notes. I get a feeling that Rs. 2000 note is slowly being faded out.

No new notes printed for last 2 to 3 years. But what the notes printed from 2016 end to 2018?
1) May be getting accumulated as black money.
2) Govt is shredding the notes and replacing with 200 and 500 notes.

Let's see , may be a dhamaka will come about banning the 2000 notes and people will not even care as they will not be having it.

Will definitely support the dhamaka about banning the Rs 2000 notes. I supported the original DeMo anyway
