Niks India is a lab for experiments and offers a ready pool of human capital, the top layer of which can be hived off abroad. Like the African continent, India is viewed as a land of colonized people with no real agency. The elite hate the masses, sell them into slavery, and

Most influencers in India are useful idiots for the highest bidder. They'll further any political narrative you want them to for an insignificant sum of money. Zero understanding of their actions and their consequences in the long term. Cheered on by an equally foolish audience.

China undergraduates by major 2022: - Engineering: 6,742,664 - Philosophy: 12,400

India’s brave op-ed writers who never tire of excoriating Indian policymakers (often rightly so) are cravenly silent on the bullying of racist Trump & the West. All terrified of US visas, US university tenures & US think tank assignments? Where are the fiery op-eds in

When Bakhtiyar Khilji destroyed Nalanda, the symbol of our ancient civilisation, he believed India’s spirit could be broken. But in the sacred soil of Assam, Maharaja Prithu of Kamarupa rose in valour and struck him down, avenging that desecration. To honour this legacy of

India is the only country where you’ll see a modern person speaking in English in a cafe and buying a 2000 rupees meal, and 50 kms driving outward in the rural area you’ll find dozens of people who make 2000 in six months of work. This disparity is causing conversions. When

There isn’t a single reason for me to stay in Indian society. I cannot even dress freely as a woman, I am constantly starred at, there is filth and plastic everywhere. But I stay for one reason. For my ancient civilisation. For my Gods. For my temples. And every Hindu who

Happy Vinayaga Chaturthi. Remember: the trunk represents wisdom. It can uproot a tree and yet delicately pluck a flower without disturbing the leaves. Wisdom is understanding when to pluck a flower and when to uproot a tree.

Surveys will come and go, I am quite certain PM Modi will serve a fourth term, and will be India's longest serving 'elected' Prime Minister. You can save this tweet.

There are literally a million images of Modi that Peter Navarro could have used in a post attacking the world's largest democracy on spurious charges. But using this image of a Hindu praying in a yogic posture stokes anti-Hindu hate we face daily. Maybe that was the point?

I’ve always believed that the Jain Dharmic concept of Anekantavada (multi-sidedness) is so important to fostering a true democratic culture. If we cannot disagree without dehumanising or imputing motives, we cannot have a public sphere. We all see aspects of the truth. Some may

If you truly care about India and its diaspora, start pressuring the current Indian government for reforms. Make the babus do more, and let us make sure all the diaspora starts moving back to India willingly. I want to see India becoming the second-largest economy in the world

In the passing of Shri S.L. Bhyrappa Ji, we have lost a towering stalwart who stirred our conscience and delved deep into the soul of India. A fearless and timeless thinker, he profoundly enriched Kannada literature with his thought-provoking works. His writings inspired

Wrong Rahul Shivshankar. Shashi Tharoor and his advisors out of touch with Washington. He is citing Democrats who are out of power. I went 3 times to DC Republican events in 2025. But we were the only 3 Indians. Reason: Indians don’t lobby where it costs serious $. And those that

Yesterday, a Christian nationalist blamed us for the opioid epidemic. Today a self-proclaimed progressive prof blamed us for “threatening American society” and “wide-ranging violence.” Hinduphobia from the right or left is real & equally shocking. Religion Dispatches platforms this.

Vivek and pretty much everyone who lives in the West suffer from "difference anxiety", a wonderful term that I read for the first time in Rajiv Malhotra's book "Being Different." This is not a pejorative term. It is a great term to explain how monotheism, by nature, tries to

You can always tell when someone was raised with kindness. The way he ran to help her pure goodness. 🥹❤️🫶

An Indian who had been living in Japan for more than a yr noticed something strange : his Japanese friends were polite & helpful, yet none of them ever invited him to their home, not even for a cup of tea. Confused & hurt, he finally asked one Japanese friend why this was so.

G2 is a lesson for India. Here is China which has quietly built its strength and is now taking on the US which it has by its unmentionables. But the Chinese still say they are a developing country; and here are we who are at best a middle power pretending to be a super-power
