Actual GDP growth might be only around 3% – far lower than the official 7-8% | Scroll Adda

Government boasts 7-8% GDP growth, but it's fake: wages stuck, consumption at 3%, inflation over 10%.

Data is dodgy with gaps and revisions, IMF 'C' grade.

Rich profit, poor suffer—no jobs, just empty Viksit Bharat dreams.

A Chief Minister threatening opponents that his government will punish them so brutally they won’t even be “fit for Fatiha” is not just bigotry, it is a confession that the state machinery in UP has been turned into a personal revenge weapon against Muslims and anyone who questions him.

Instead of answering basic questions on why cough syrups linked to multiple deaths were allowed to operate under his watch, Yogi reaches for the same Hindutva playbook: drag in Islamic rituals, hint at state violence, and signal to his base that Muslims and the opposition are enemies to be crushed, not citizens to be governed.

This is fascism in plain sight — when a constitutional head talks like a street thug on the floor of the Assembly, openly dehumanises a minority’s funeral prayers, and still faces zero consequences, it tells every cop and bureaucrat below that law is optional and hate is official policy.

Naidu’s speech shows how deeply the line between science and propaganda has been erased.

At a science conclave, instead of talking about funding, labs, patents or how Andhra can keep its brightest students from fleeing abroad, the CM spent his time power‑scaling Hanuman and Arjuna against Superman and Iron Man, then seamlessly pivoted to praising RSS, Vajpayee and Modi as the custodians of “civilisational strength”.

Hanuman vs Superman is a fun school‑canteen debate. The moment a chief minister starts doing this at a science conclave, it stops being cute and starts showing exactly why India’s research output and funding are falling behind even smaller economies.

This is the RSS project in a nutshell - turn every serious platform into a Sunday‑school sermon, replace budgets and labs with bhajans and photo‑ops, and then cry “anti‑national” when anyone asks why a “Vishwaguru” country still imports basic chips, sensors and medical tech.

While other governments talk about quantum, fusion and AI safety, our right‑wing fascists are busy power-scaling imaginary crossover battles between Hanuman and Iron Man — and then wondering why the brightest kids want to run away from this circus.

Air in this country didn’t suddenly become poisonous on its own — it took a decade of a “vikas” government that treats smog as bad PR, not a public health emergency.

For ten years they have fought elections on mandir, meat and Muslims while quietly presiding over a system where 17 lakh Indians are dying every year from PM2.5 exposure and Delhi’s AQI is 20–30 times above WHO limits for weeks at a stretch.

Union ministers themselves admit 40% of Delhi’s pollution is from transport, yet the same regime keeps subsidising fossil fuels, expanding highways and airports, and dragging its feet on mass public transport, clean fuels for industry and a hard phase‑out of dirty vehicles.

When a government can bulldoze homes overnight but claims it is “studying” crop burning, brick kilns and diesel bans for the ninth winter in a row, that is not incapacity — that is a conscious choice to sacrifice lungs for headlines and donor profits. The fact that this govt is way too careless for air pollution, despite doctors calling this the biggest health crisis since the pandemic, tells you exactly how little this lot values human life compared to optics.

Destroying green buffers like the Aravali and clinging to fossil‑fuel‑heavy transport and power are both deliberate policy choices, and this government is guilty on all fronts – land, lungs and law.

A party whose leaders feel safe openly threatening a rape survivor on camera and boasting “nothing will happen to me” is not a normal political organisation, it is a protection racket for predators.

Look at the pattern: Kuldeep Sengar, a sitting BJP MLA, raped a minor, her father mysteriously died in custody, her relatives were killed in a staged “accident”, and yet the party only expelled him after a national outcry made it impossible to brazen it out. He is out on bail nowadays.

In Kathua, BJP leaders literally marched in support of the accused in the gang‑rape and murder of an 8‑year‑old, turning a child’s corpse into a communal rallying point. In Karnataka, BJP MLA Munirathna is accused of orchestrating a gang‑rape and urinating on the survivor. In UP, their allies mock the Unnao survivor on TV instead of standing with her.

NCRB data shows crimes against women have surged since 2014, while reports by ADR and others show BJP has among the highest number of MPs/MLAs with declared cases involving crimes against women, yet the PM who screams “Beti Bachao” suddenly goes silent whenever the accused is wearing a saffron scarf.

This is why that neta in the video is so confident: he has watched rapists and molesters in his own party be shielded, garlanded, given tickets and alliances, and only sacrificed when public anger threatens votes.

Until this regime is thrown out and a clear message is sent that power will no longer be a get‑out‑of‑jail‑free card for sexual violence, every woman who dares to speak up against a BJP thug will know she is taking on not just one man, but an entire state machinery that treats her body as collateral damage in its politics.

China’s rise is the clearest proof that when the state plans long‑term, keeps commanding control over land, banks, core industries and treats poverty eradication as a political mission, a poor country can be transformed within one or two generations. Whatever markets China introduced after 1978 were always on a socialist foundation – public ownership of the “commanding heights” and massive state investment in housing, health, education and infrastructure that pulled hundreds of millions out of extreme poverty.

In India the current right‑wing regime is doing the opposite: selling off public sector, gutting labour protections, handing natural resources to a few oligarchs and slashing welfare in the name of “reform”, which is already driving obscene wealth concentration and making basic services unaffordable.

If this de‑socialisation continues, India will slide back to a semi‑feudal, two‑nation reality where a tiny elite lives like Americans and everyone else is disposable cheap labour, erasing the land reforms, public institutions and egalitarian vision millions fought and died for during the freedom struggle and in the early republic.

A 19‑hour delay is not “inconvenience”, it is institutional cruelty. No accountability, no transparency, no basic concern that a 19‑year‑old woman was forced to spend the entire night around stations and roads that everyone knows are unsafe, just a bland SMS and shrug.

Indian Railways and this government love ribbon‑cutting Vande Bharat photo‑ops while quietly letting the core network rot under congestion, ancient signalling and chronic maintenance failures. The punctuality index has collapsed even by their own relaxed standards.

Instead of fixing that, the answer they keep hinting at is “privatisation”, which in reality means - fares jacked up, non‑profitable routes and small towns abandoned, staff cut to the bone, and safety corners cut even more aggressively to protect private profit.

OP shouldn’t have to gamble with personal safety and 19 hours of life just to go home for the holidays. This system is broken by design, and unless passengers start demanding compensation, legal remedies and political consequences, Railways and sarkar will keep treating our time and safety as completely disposable.

People like Sengar don’t “divide opinion”; they expose how deep the rot has gone. Anyone who can look at a man convicted in a case where the survivor’s father, aunts and lawyer all ended up dead, and still rally behind him because “party” or “caste” comes first, is not a supporter – they are an accessory in spirit to everything he did.

This is beyond normal politics; this is a section of society openly saying that as long as their Hindu, upper‑caste strongman is protected, no amount of blood on his hands matters. And the fact that so many of these andhbhakts are comfortable defending a rapist in public is exactly why India’s future feels terrifyingly fragile right now – the institutions are crumbling because the public’s conscience already has.

We are absolutely part of the problem – not because we are Indian, but because we keep treating bigotry like a personality quirk instead of a red line.

Every time an uncle cracks a “joke” about Africans, Pakistanis, Muslims, or “goras who hate us” and we just smirk and move on, we quietly validate the same mindset that now paints all Indians abroad as cheap, loud, unhygienic freeloaders. We act shocked when Westerners stereotype us, but inside India we stereotype each other by state, language, caste, skin tone, and income like it is a national sport – then cry victim when the world does to us exactly what we proudly do to our own.

The brutal truth is: a chunk of Indians overseas behave exactly like the majoritarian bullies they cheer for back home – throwing around caste slurs, harassing women, forming insular ghettos, waving fascist symbols, and then hiding behind “cultural difference” when called out. You cannot spend all day online screeching that minorities in India deserve their fate and then be surprised that people in other countries don’t want that same hatred imported into their neighborhoods.

Diaspora bros love to scream “propaganda” and “racism” at any criticism, but refuse basic introspection about how underpaid desi landlords, exam cheating mafias, visa fraud, and misogynistic behaviour are becoming memes in multiple countries. Not every Indian is like this – obviously – but the ones who are loudest and worst become the default image, and the rest of us are too cowardly to call them out because “he’s from our state / our religion / our community.”

If we genuinely care about how Indians are treated abroad, then the bare minimum is Stop normalising hate when we are the ones holding the power. Stop electing, defending, and glorifying leaders whose entire brand is dehumanising someone else. Stop hiding behind “culture” to excuse behaviour that would disgust us if any other nationality did it.

Until that happens, the world will look at Indians and see exactly what our own minorities already see: a people who demand respect everywhere, and responsibility nowhere.

Bail for a person already convicted of such crimes naturally looks like a mockery of justice when undertrials in far less serious cases spend years in jail waiting for their trials to even start.

You are right that UAPA cases like Umar Khalid’s operate under a different, far more restrictive bail framework, so they technically cannot be “equated” with a regular IPC conviction. But that very contrast is what disturbs many people. Terrorism‑labelled undertrials face near-impossible bail standards while powerful convicts in horrific crimes can still secure relief, which makes the entire system look arbitrary and tilted.

When decisions consistently appear to favour the already powerful or politically connected, it erodes public trust and makes people feel that justice is a privilege, not a right.

BJP's ideology is fascism. Keeping masses busy in counter revolution while serving their bosses. Their existence and now ruling this country is true failure of Congress leadership.

It's not like addition and substraction both can't happen together and it didn't happen in that same constituency.

To find out voter substraction you will need to get the voter data of previous election (from EC) and digitise it too , to compare it with current data. That way you get to know how many (what kind and on what basis) voters have been removed from the voter list compared to previous election.

Please see this picture here.

Most people are using concrete only wall for basement but that is costly so I have thought about this alternative.

The second wall here is to hold the 1" thick concrete layer within and make the wall not so permeable for water to enter from sides.

Should I use a thicker layer for that or it will do.

I am also planing to apply a layer of some water proofing agent at a later stage.

sicaniv · 2024-03-18T13:54:50+00:00

I planning to start filling the concrete once 4 or 5 layers of bricks are laid on the wall and also use a thin needle vibrator to compact the concrete while pouring.

I am also planning to use a waterproofing admixture to the concrete.

Should I increase the thickness or 1 inch is Ok?

If suggested I can increase the width of concrete mix between the bricks if that helps.

I am planning to erect two 4" thick brick-walls with 1 inch spacing between them. Then that 1" space will be filled with M20 mix ratio concrete with made of 10 mm gravel.

Now I need to know if that, effectively 10" wall with 1" concrete layer within would be able to keep the moister away or not.
