We are ‘mostly’ living in a slum country ruled by the few slumlords. The pollution, crazy traffic, economic mess, health hazards are part of the game. Social spending is declining. Electoral victories are getting larger. Enjoy.

India’s political class, including the party in power, doesn’t care about the health argument, the environmental argument or the equity argument for clean air. Many of us are tired, screaming hoarse, year after year. Response - band-aid solutions. Let’s make the economic argument

People have forgotten who they are. They have forgotten their own rights. The only thing they remember is whatever is fed into their ears by a shouting media and government mouthpieces.

Amul Butter @amitmalviya forgets to mention that (1) India is not ashamed that its Per Capita GDP is the Lowest in G 20, far below other Afro-Asian countries (2) Not 1 G20 nation stood beside India in its anti terror war with Pak! (3) Manmohan Singh attended as many -- as PM

Leadership.

Chief, there is one problem. Mr Modi will NEVER do a press conference. And we know why. 🤣 11 long years. Seriously, it’s mind boggling.
