Economics is a religion

The problem with any data is that it hides other data.  You cannot get the big picture on anything without a dashboard view representation of various relevant data points with an accompanying concept matrix. Any data can look good in a side view.

Modi is taken seriously by ordinary people because he adopts a serious tone even when he says things that are conceptually flawed, factually inaccurate & historically inconsistent. Those who mock him on facts, ideas, promises & mannerisms get more jokes than votes

Pride is a human need, like food, clothing & shelter.  It grows stronger when the three are taken care of. This hunger is fed by a sense of the self, which when lacking in accomplished self-worth, seeks it in a larger identity, based on community, religion, team or nation

#Economics is a religion in itself. It shapes culture. Money is like a deity. Power is the materialistic equivalent of God. Culture sits between the two like a priest. No wonder priests are like power brokers

In 1987 during his tenure as advisor to Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, #SamPitroda headed six technology missions related to telecommunications, water, literacy, immunization, dairy, and oilseeds. He spent nearly a decade with Gandhi building India's IT industry

This is how C-DOT came into existence which was instrumental in telecom revolution. Mr. Pitroda also played crucial role in setting up once common PCOs. This initiative connected people  living in almost any part of India + triggered micro entrepreneurship via  booth ownership.

TV news channels will be out of fashion if they don't learn to compete with independent digital media and YouTube channels that discuss and report on real issues that touch the lives of ordinary people in a way that is linked to politics

25 लाख से ज्यादा फॉलोवर वाले यूट्यूबर्स के चुनावी झुकाव के अध्ययन से पता चला है कि लगभग सभी ब्राह्मण, भूमिहार और जाट यूट्यूबर्स जैसे आकाश बनर्जी, रवीश कुमार, अजीत अंजुम, ध्रुव राठी, अभिसार शर्मा, संजय शर्मा, दीपक शर्मा, उल्टा चश्मा वगैरह इस बार सरकार के खिलाफ अभियान चला रहे हैं और कांग्रेस के साथ हैं.

बहुजन खासकर एससी यूट्यूबर्स संतुलन बना रहे हैं, वे अभी भी मुद्दा आधारित हैं, पर उनमें से ज्यादातर का झुकाव बीएसपी की तरफ है.

आप लोगों का क्या ऑब्जर्वेशन है? क्या ये अध्ययन सही है.

बहुजन यूट्यूबर और सवर्ण यूट्यूबर में एक फर्क ये है कि बहुजन यूट्यूबर कभी दिल से कांग्रेस का पक्षधर नहीं हो सकता. सब्सक्राइबर का दबाव होता है, पर वह कांग्रेसी मिजाज का नहीं हो सकता. बाबा साहब आंबेडकर के समय से कांग्रेस के साथ बहुजनों की बनी नहीं. ऐतिहासिक टकराव है.

Sandeep Balakrishna is giving a series of video lectures on Marxist destruction of Indian history. Dhruv Rathee in his latest video is explaining how millions of Indians are being brainwashed by Hindutva propaganda on the lines of Hitler. Reading Sri Aurobindo can bust distortion

Greed and hostility can't be the motivation for healthy politics. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo therefore endeavoured for transformation of human nature. Descent of Supramental consciousness is the only means for such a prospect for which aspiration, rejection, and surrender needed.

Modi has repeatedly proved being incapable of representing the lofty spirit of Indian Constitution. He has also destroyed the collective leadership concept in BJP. His preference for certain industrialists has cost him dearly. It's unfortunate that so many people want him again.

Spreading hatred has become so normalised that the concept of treating all citizens equally has practically vanished. So everyone has to be a representative of a specific caste, religion, or language. No common existence or universal feeling. Constitution is a worthless document!

Savitri Era Party suppots Sam Pitroda for suggesting review of policies relating to the creamy layer. He is being derided like V.P. Singh but ultimately every party will have to adopt these revolutionary measures. His connection with poorer part of Odisha is of special importance

Evolution of BJP from RSS, Jana Sangh, SVD, Janata Party, and Vajpayee-Advani era to the present Modi-Shah Pvt Ltd Co is as tragic as the gradual degeneration of Congress. It would appear that democracy is an impossible ideal and what we actually get is perversion and debasement.

Indians are going to vote tomorrow for a new Lok Sabha. Savitri Era Party is against AAP, BJP, & Congress for different reasons. Unlike 2014 and 2019 no emotionally charged event has vitiated the atmosphere apart from a stray remark incensing the Rajputs. Let's pray for a new PM!

UP being no longer very secure, BJP can hope for a comfortable 200 figure. Anti-incumbency and Opposition-unity will play out in full force. People have become tired of empty rhetoric and endless theatrics. Indian democracy has thrown surprises in the past and two terms are enough.
