I don't even need to go into the +$140 billion deals signed with Japan regarding railway modernization

Source?

the $70 billion dollar infrastructure bank set-up with UAE,

I'm not sure what has actually come of this headline grabbing announcement, where will this vast amount be invested? And what timescale are we talking about?

Congress legacy has been 60 years of failed policies, rewriting the history books, controlling the media, creating a separate civil code for muslims, creating vote-bank politics, etc.

Don't forget leaving a whopping $150BN backlog (>7% of India's GDP) of stalled infrastructure projects as they headed out of office.


By almost all metrics Modi's Govt is moving India ahead substantially HOWEVER all this great work is being undone by animals within his own party and or allies. It is so needless, a more assertive stance on these clowns and a proactive media team could completely turn the narrative in the PM's favour but instead it is a case of 2 steps forward, one and a half steps back.


India is awakening as an economic powerhouse and the media (domestic and international) are focusing on MEAT CONSUMPTION?


This is simply unforgivable mismanagement by the GoI.

Damage is done... Mission accomplished. Who cares what the truth is.. They can stay confined to inside pages of few newspapers!

Exactly why there needs to be strict regulatory bodies for the news media in India-the level of misinformation and downright lies in the pursuit of TRPs is simply getting out of hand now. The threshold where this threatens national security has been breached, unless there is a strong counter-narrative at the time of the event you cannot effectively disseminate the truth to the general public.

Amit shah Bhai ne Arnab ki keh ke le lee..... Arnab was smirking shyly

When asked why development agenda is no more in Bihar.... Amit Shah ne Arnab baba ki fad ke rakh di...
Amit Shah: .... did you ask me even a single question on development for past 30 mins... show the page... go back to your last page (the interview question list with Arnab)... frankly is there even one question about development? I guarantee you your next three questions are also about Beef, Caste and other stuff....Arnab was royally embarassed.... @ranjeet

This is a perfect illustration of the GoI/NDA's failure- the focus should be on development and the economy instead it as about these rather trivial matters.

I don't accept this is all cooked up by the media and the GoI/NDA/BJP are blameless their actions (and inaction at times) has lead to this toxic soup.

Precisely! Media in India is self regulated...hence they don't feel the need to be accountable to anyone. There's no effective law or regulation to control this monster. Media in India gets away with murder. What we need is an Ofcom style government approved independent regulatory authority with wide ranging powers & statutory duty to represent the interests of citizens and the Nation. What we also need is a strong libel / defamation law to counter lies & disinformation which is being spread on daily basis.
Successive governments shied away from tackling this issue due to the kind of influence these honchos wield within the power corridors. But I hope this present government will seriously look into bringing some sort of accountability to this otherwise rogue industry.

Indeed, Ofcom has its failings but at least it exists!

The media needs to be made to feel there are costs to false or inaccurate reporting, currently there are none. In fact, it could be argued there is an incentive to misrepresent the facts so as to garner more TRPs and hence more revenue. Where they are proven (by a competitor) to be undeniably in the wrong (it happens on occasion) they simply offer a feeble apology/correction and are allowed to enjoy their ill-gotten rewards. It is a joke of a system.

A media is meant to be a reliable pillar in a democracy but in India they are entirely failing in this duty and it has gotten to dangerous levels. The level of lost productivity and undue distress (immeasurable) caused as a direct result of all these half truths and blatant lies is enormous.

Do you remember a few years ago when entirely FAKE media reports and doctored pictures created a frenzy for North Eastern Indians to "flee" Bengaluru? Why this incident did not prove significant enough to impose massive regulation to the media I will never know. The next time the media's lies could cause far more sinister results.....

How do they do this in other democratic countries? What costs? Because this is a fine line between free press and irresponsible press.

What’s caste got to do with it? Deception and the law on caste discrimination | Law, Culture, Religion

Interesting read, seems like there are some "caste activists" (primarily fronts for evangelicals) in the UK.

A pay dispute went on to become this:

has happened in the Tirkeycase the mere presence of two parties of different castes is enough to substantiate a claim that caste discrimination must have been present. And presumptions can be called upon to do the rest; to overlook the fact that no link was demonstrable between caste and the treatment of the claimant.

This is how the media in India tends to present things too, presence of a merely different castes, becomes "caste violence", as in some recent cases.

The Claimant’s family are “Adivasi” people who are dark skinned and poor. They can be either Christian or Hindu and are recognised by the sari they wear at festivals or on special occasions (a white sari with a red border). In the “caste pyramid” the Adivasi are the lowest class.

Judge Ord thus states that the Adivasi people can be recognised by the colour of the sari they wear. He adds that they constitute the bottom rung in the caste pyramid. And of course that they are dark skinned.

And also seems to create some crazy skin colour based assumptions, thus feeding into the whole AIT/AMT, Afro-Dalit type nonsense.

Similar orgs working here in India aswell, these types of cases will be used here too.

Do you know what 1000 years of SLAVERY has done to us? It has not ERODED our money/gdp, it has ERODED our Self Confidence.....so much so, that any Tom, Dick or a Moody can tell us that "Oh Man, your Country is not on the RIGHT path!!" Aren't we ourselves capable or smart or sane enough to understand if that is the case or not?

I mean, Do Americans care about what an Indian News agency/rating agency/ think tank think of them?
