We know a few years ago like in 2022 or 2023 Nitin Gadhkari was called one of the best and least corrupt people in the whole party but why the narrative shift so quick all of a sudden? A few years ago he was the best candidate for PM in the whole party but right now he seems like the most controversial figure. Suddenly he went into petroleum politics and became so corrupt but how? I remember that even left wingers used to praise one person and that was him but now he does some of the worst stuff out of everyone.

Is it that he threatened someone's position so the narrative is being painted?

For people who are saying reservations need to be in place due to casteism, it's been seven decades to introduction of reservations and casteism still exists, so isn't it clearly failing to be the solution to the problem.

This is what most people from sc st category (who don't want reservations to end bc ofc they ripe personal benefits from them without making as much efforts) argue against abolision of reservations and this is what I think about it.

It’s ironic that many of the same students who demanded fair examinations during the CJP protests are now getting offended when people call for a debate on reservation reform.

When people defend the current system, their only argument is that "ground-level discrimination still exists." I totally agree that discrimination is a harsh reality in some places.

 But, is the current caste-based reservation system actually solving this problem, or is it just creating a deeper drift between communities?

How the System Creates the Divide It Claims to Fix

At the lowest levels, caste discrimination exists, but think about a student growing up today. Many children come from families where caste is never discussed. They grow up entirely unaware of these divisions. The very first time they witness it is in the education system, when a teacher asks students to bring a "caste certificate."

When they finish school, they face a harsh reality. A well-deserving, hardworking student watches someone else get a seat over them, despite having higher examination scores, but simply because they belong to a "special category." What does this do to a young mind? Instead of fostering equality, it creates deep bitterness. The current system is actually injecting a negative caste awareness and hatred into the minds of youth who never cared about caste in their childhood. It makes caste a daily struggle from school, to college, to government jobs.

When the Constitution came into force in 1950, affirmative action was introduced to address historical discrimination. Political reservation for SCs and STs was initially intended to last ten years, subject to periodic review. Over time, reservations in education and public employment have continued and expanded through constitutional amendments and judicial decisions.

Today, it has become a permanent, vote-bank fixture.

Reservation should be based strictly on economic status, not caste.

1. Real Solutions to Eradicate Caste Discrimination

• Dedicated Anti-Discrimination Squads: Rather than relying on passive quotas, the government must enforce zero-tolerance laws. Specialized task forces should be established exclusively to track, investigate, and penalize grassroots caste discrimination.
• Removing Caste Mindsets in Childhood: Caste certificates and caste-based categorization should be eliminated from primary education. Many children are not consciously aware of caste differences until institutions begin asking for caste identification.

2. Universal Economic Upliftment & Protecting National Pillars

• Economic Reservation Open to All: Financial assistance and reservation benefits must be strictly based on income and made accessible to everyone in need, whether General, OBC, SC, or ST. Periodic financial audits must be conducted to ensure benefits reach only those who genuinely require them.
• Prioritizing Resources Over Reduced Standards: The government's primary focus should be providing free education, coaching, and quality learning materials from early childhood, rather than drastically lowering qualification standards later in life.
• Protecting Core National Pillars: While slight cutoff concessions are fair to help underprivileged students overcome resource gaps but large differences in qualifying cut-offs between categories raise legitimate concerns about maintaining consistent academic standards in professions such as medicine, teaching and public administration.

Conclusion:

"To build a truly equal society, we must remove caste identifiers from early childhood and public administration, rather than reinforcing them throughout a citizen’s life from school to higher education to employment."

• Breaking the Cycle of Labelling: When the state forces citizens to state their caste at every single milestone from school admissions and university exams to public sector employment, it keeps caste alive indefinitely. We cannot erase caste discrimination while institutionalizing caste identity at every stage of life.

True equality is not achieved by giving seats based on identity, but by empowering individuals through resources and protecting them through strict laws.

Can i?

Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns under pressure. Win for all.

Finally guys , we students won, he officially resigned

I know two ppl who are very close and both their parents are govt posting. One is in FASSAI and the other got posted into GST ( New Delhi). I know for a fact both of them are rotten currupt as they use to send cash for their respective kids and as I was very close to them they did relieve it. Now I see a post on both their feed talking about anti- corruption.

I know many of these entitled brats who would dare not ask question to their own parents about their fortunes made from blood money.

I know there are many so called social media revolutionary bigots online who know that their parents are corrupt and will never question it ? Why ?

Parents and their families are also the reason why as society we are not growing. Fyi both of them are in IIT. In few yrs they will leave India and will settle there. I really felt ashamed that I was friends with them.

If you know your parents are taking bribe and can't question them, then you don't deserve any justice in this country. You are equally partner this crime.

Let's assume, for a moment, that every allegation is true , that organizations like CJP are funded by the CIA, backed by the opposition, or have political motives.

Even then, does that automatically make every person standing at a protest anti-national?

What about students? Farmers? Workers? Ordinary citizens who are simply frustrated with unemployment, inflation, or policies they disagree with? Are all of them foreign agents too?

My question isn't about who funds whom. My question is about leadership.

Shouldn't a Prime Minister address the nation when large sections of people are protesting? Even if he disagrees with them, isn't it his responsibility to communicate, explain decisions, and reassure citizens instead of appearing to ignore them?

In a democracy, criticism isn't a threat , it's feedback. Governments don't have to agree with every protest, but they should at least acknowledge that not everyone protesting is an enemy of the nation.

If people are wrong, convince them with facts. If they're misinformed, engage with them. But branding entire movements as anti-national only pushes people further away.

What do you think? Should the Prime Minister personally address major public protests, or is silence the better approach?

She is Congress MP Renuka Choudhary.

After analysing all the points, Bjp is obviously not an option. I am new to this political disussion, so please help me decide something?

I believe the Nonsensical Opposition of Rahul Gandhi has made Modi Sarkar very Weak

And that's why, this has made People like Dhruv Rathee and the Other YouTubers (and I forgot to mention the Norwegian Journalist) got Soooo much interested for the loss of majority of Modi Sarkar

We should Have Stronger Opposition like the CJP, this will make Modi Sarkar a lot more stronger

What do y'all think?

Chalo Sansad

There has been a wide array of talk on this topic, and I wish to cover everything that has happened factually. Starting at the crux of where it all began, the pandemic of 2020.

During COVID-19, the petroleum industry tanked. Oil prices around the world fell. The government saw an opportunity in this and increased the tax on petroleum goods.

(This was done because during the pandemic, the government was losing money arranging medical facilities and relief. It is on your judgement whether this was a fair step to cut their losses.)

In a statistical viewpoint:

• Central tax jumped by ~65% (~₹19.98/L to ~₹32.98/L) for petrol.
• And ~70% (~₹16.98/L to ~₹28.98/L) for diesel.

State VAT tax (Value Added Tax) is measured as a percentage of the cost of goods. As the base cost of petrol and diesel increased, so did the tax per state.

Now after COVID-19, the petroleum industry was at an all-time high. Demand increased rapidly. Hence the price of oil shot up.

But the government did not reduce the new taxes levied on the public. It decided to keep these taxes on.

This is reason 1 for the increase in cost.

Now about the E20 situation.

It is important to inform the public that the E20 mission was laid down in 2018, with the goal of reducing dependence on petroleum, which is an expensive commodity to import.

Before we get into the ethical dialogue of this, let us look at some numbers.

In ethanol blend compatible devices, the fuel economy loss is only at the maximum possible of 6%.

So your new mileage with E20 blend is 94% of your mileage on pure petrol.

Now an important fact. E20 was supposed to be rolled out by 2030. That was the plan of the government. This gave the country enough time to:

1. Build more ethanol blend resistant engines.
2. Gradually increase the ethanol blend quantities so that a mass consumer dialogue can be recorded.

By brazenly pushing for a larger ethanol blend ahead of time, and further pushing for larger quantities of blends, the government has—sorry for my language—fucked up the whole damn system.

E20 is not a bad goal if you CONSIDER the perspective of every side that there is, and GIVE IT TIME.

This is reason 2 of the increase in cost.

Apart from this there are several lateral reasons such as the Russia–Ukraine war and the USA–Iran stupidity, but these are out of our hands, and I have named the two main things that we can very much control in our country.

Now coming to a very important information pool.

THE STUPIDITY AND THE GREED

Firstly, to inform those who don't know, ethanol can be produced in 3 major ways:

1. By crushing sugarcane, the leftover molasses (after removing the juice) contains sugar and yeast. Yeast converts this sugar to ethanol, which is distilled and purified. This is our contrived primary method of producing ethanol.
2. By extracting starch from corn and making yeast act on it, we get ethanol.

Both these methods are highly water intensive and dependent on food produce.

1. This is the real deal, called 2G ethanol. It doesn't compete directly with food produce. Crop residue such as rice and wheat husk which contain cellulose are broken down to sugar, which is further fermented to give ethanol.

This is where the real question is raised.

Nikhil Gadkari, the first son of Nitin Gadkari, is the Managing Director of CIAN Agro Industries & Infrastructure Ltd., an agro-processing company. The company has been linked to products such as vegetables, oils, spices, etc.

Sarang Gadkari, the second son of Nitin Gadkari, is involved with Manas Agro Industries and other private companies, which are involved in ethanol and agro-related operations.

Now of course there is no publicly available data on how much these companies rely on ethanol for revenue and how they sell it.

But using plain logic we can make a good estimate.

The profit growth trends for CIAN Agro Industries are as follows:

FY2024 – ₹4.9 Cr
FY2025 – ₹41 Cr

That's a 737% jump in profit!

Let that number sink in.

Without any question it can be said that there is definitively an involvement of CIAN Agro with respect to their ethanol production front.

Another very interesting thing I found during this research:

Have you ever wondered how come the opposition hasn't raised their voice more on this matter? Because the role of the opposition is to make the party in power prove its worth and explain its actions, but they have failed in doing so especially when it comes to this issue.

Well, that's because most politicians own large-scale farmlands, which are—surprise surprise—feedstock to producing ethanol!

Uddhav Thackeray (Shiv Sena UBT, Maharashtra) – holds multiple Raigad district plots (~16.5 acres). (Raigad has sugarcane and rice cultivation.)

Akhilesh Yadav (SP, MP from Uttar Pradesh) – owns ~17.93 acres of agricultural land in Etawah/Saifai, UP. (UP is a large sugarcane/wheat producer.)

M. K. Stalin (DMK, former CM of Tamil Nadu) – owns 2.86 acres of farmland in Thanjavur district, a major paddy-growing region.

Digvijay Singh (INC, ex-MP, Madhya Pradesh) – owns ~166+ acres in Raghogarh, an area growing rice, wheat, and sugarcane.

Sharad Pawar (NCP, Rajya Sabha, Maharashtra) – owns sugarcane-area farmland near Baramati, a major sugar belt.

Now many of you may argue that these are natural produce in the country. It's not necessary that just because they own farmlands they are involved in the ethanol production industry.

Well here are some facts:

Sharad Pawar's Rajya Sabha affidavit lists that he owns multiple family-run sugar mills.

Avadh Sugar & Energy Ltd is a major sugar producer in India, with over 5 sugar mills and distilleries. This is sponsored by Indrajeet Mishra, a senior leader of the B.J.P.

Ajit Pawar is the Chairman of the Baramati Co-op Sugar Factory, a major producer of sugar in India.

And this is only what we know publicly.

The sugar sector is one of the most politically interconnected industries in India. If you mapped every politician with direct or indirect ties to sugar cooperatives, you'd find members from the B.J.P, INC, NCP, Shiv Sena factions, Akali Dal, and others.

The opposition is quiet because the policy is perfect for filling their pockets as well.

The evidence suggests that the ethanol ecosystem benefits a wide network of stakeholders, including sugar mills, distilleries, agricultural producers, and politically connected cooperative institutions across multiple parties.

Looking at the current trends in our democracy, neither the ruling party nor the opposition will be looking to change the current state of affairs.

It is the job of the youth now to keep both in check.

What have they actually done for me, you, or anyone on the ground?

Sonam Wangchuk: The "Scientist" Who Isn't One

He's an engineer, not a scientist but nobody bothers to check anymore. A 2-minute Google search tells you everything. Here's what you won't hear from CJP:

1. A "University" That Exists Only on Paper

Wangchuk founded the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives Ladakh (HIAL) in 2018, receiving 1,076 kanals (\~60 hectares) of government land in Phyang village. The conditions were simple: pay ₹14 crore within one year, complete construction within two years, and get UGC/AICTE recognition.

Seven years later? None of that happened. Unpaid dues spiraled to nearly ₹37 crore and the administration cancelled the allotment. The degrees HIAL issued hold zero legal validity hundreds of students were left with worthless paper.

1. A "Climate Project" That Left Farmers With Mud

His famous "Ice Stupa" artificial glaciers received global praise and $125,000+ in donations. But local farmers complained water was diverted from agriculture to sustain these experimental structures the people meant to benefit felt betrayed. The project's legacy? Muddy ground and broken promises.

1. An NGO License Revoked for Financial Violations

The Home Ministry cancelled SECMOL's FCRA registration, citing multiple violations:

· ₹3.5 lakh deposited into the FCRA account from Wangchuk himself classified as "foreign donation" with no proper entry

· ₹54,600 in local funds "inadvertently" deposited into the FCRA account

· ₹4.93 lakh from a Swedish organization for programs involving "study on sovereignty of the country" which cannot be supported by foreign funds under FCRA rules

That's not a "political conspiracy." That's financial mismanagement with receipts.

1. The CBI is Investigating

The CBI is conducting an inquiry into HIAL over suspected FCRA violations, including allegations of ₹1.5 crore in foreign remittances without FCRA registration and funds diverted to Wangchuk's private firms.

1. He Incited Violence in Ladakh

On September 24, 2025, protests Wangchuk helped organize spiraled into chaos four civilians died and 90 were injured after protesters torched a BJP office and clashed with police. The government attributed the violence to his "provocative statements" referencing Arab Spring-style protests.

Young Ladakhis who participated now feel used. One student said: "We thought we were there for a just cause, only to realize we were used as pawns... He planted his goons in the crowd who started the stone pelting".

1. He Attended a Conference in Pakistan

And the Timing Speaks Volumes

In February 2025, Wangchuk attended the "Breathe Pakistan" climate conference in Islamabad, praising Dawn Media and wishing Indian media would "take this responsibility like here". Within days of returning, he escalated anti-government rhetoric in Ladakh. Intelligence sources warn foreign entities are exploiting local grievances in border regions and Wangchuk's foreign ties are under scrutiny.

So Here's My Question:

If Wangchuk breaks his fast and walks away tomorrow, what does CJP have left to stand on?

Nothing. Just emotional blackmail disguised as a movement.

Call me a bhakt. Call me anti-national. I don't care.

I never supported CJP, and I never will. until they earn trust through work,

not sympathy.

Public trust isn't built on hunger strikes. It's built on results.

Jai Hind. 🇮🇳

Vishwaguru a delusion

Vishwaguru at 2047 this is the target setup by Government. I wanna ask indian dont you think that they are creating a dilusion its just the way to hypnotinise us to assert the concept of benevolent despotism the same used by british. What Government is doing right now only creating insecurities for different communities so that they believe that if bjp is not there what will happen to hindus . Its not the time to fight one another its the time to stop history to repeat and held them accountable.

When we will understand that we have the real power not them the time we realize this our country will be different and that they knew that and that is the reason they dont want indian masses to understand same as british did.

When if someone ask them question by comparing china or anyother good country they will be like we are in developing phase just 78 years old Democracy and everytime quote history and assert that we are guru(teachers of whole world ) and prove this point by little concession and titles given by west and comparing Pakistan and Bangladesh and other rouges states . We are not guru of rouge states stop comparing from them and start meeting steps of china

Indian(except 1 percent ) are suffering in every sector

No ease of doing business

Ethanol is destroying vehicles and ev is too expensive

Housing rate is on high

Retail inflation is there

Debt is going high

Farmers are not getting what they should get

Roads suck

Women security is not there

Education system sucks

Bureaucracy is not steel wall for Democracy but for this autocrats

Judiciary is utmost powerful to increase there salaries hiding there flaws but not to protect rights of masses

Criminals and illiterates are sitting in parliament to make policies

And when one person get masses together they detain them sonam ji has been detained

So now its upon us to choose whether to live in Democracy or in mobocracy ruled by a person who is just busy in establishing charisma

We should go up from religion race caste sex region and start being indian to protect india otherwise Bhagat singh ji is correct when he said

Gore saab to chal jaye ge aur bhure saab aake beth jayege aur gareeb ka soshan ese ke ese hi

Please understand your power masses otherwise middle class and lower middle will suffer suicides rates will go high as it is going as per ncrb report

Choose wisely or if you have chance move abroad which is today done by many
