Lok Sabha passes Citizenship Bill amidst Opposition outcry

The soft image has earned India the tag of one of the lowest visited country(it was 30 something when I checked last) after being such a big country. The soft image has also made India vulnerable with an attack dog like Pakistan. Whereas China, one of that commie sinkhole we like to say is one of the world's most visited country and also one of the most powerful and well poised.

I think what people forget is that we cannot avoid the confrontation we are getting now. We should get used to it. Remember that no country likes some other country to be in competition for power struggle. As India grows stronger and assertive, the eye of the world will be on us. No one will let us take the seat at the high command. India will have to snatch it and they will fight.

So its time we get accustomed to such barrages and learn how to play our own cards.
The biggest problem with these folks is that they think EU Parliament has any locus standii in foreign policies of most European nations. Its also a form of "weird pride". They think people in NA/EU care about India being democratic or secular or whatever. A large number of people actually think India is a country somewhere in middle east and it is a poor Muslim country. Some even think that India is in Africa.

Lemme put it in this way, when people go for grocery shopping, they don't exactly use wikipedia to read about political leaning of India. Oh and they definitely don't carry NY Times with them. They don't want to stand there in walmart or costco and look for "Made in" part. They look at the price tag on the shelf and buy the cheapest. Some of them are managing two jobs, some are three. They don't have time for this non-sense.

After Deepika Padukone’s JNU row, brands may lie low
While some brands have said they are reducing the visibility of ads featuring Deepika in the short term, celebrity managers say future endorsement deals are expected to see clauses factoring in the risks involved with celebrities taking political stands that might anger administrations inclined to be vengeful.

It's so much more than just EU resolutions.. The game of Citizenship has just begun... Let's see how it unfolds..

Don't worry, If India can't face such diplomatic challenges then it will be tough for the world to see India as a power. These kind of sanctions ,resolutions, memos etc the P5 are encountering on daily basis and to be in that block India should develop the habit of dealing with it.
Actually that is true to an extent. If India takes a hard stance on Muslim immigration, it will be harder for European politicians to tell their own public that allowing more Muslim immigrants was a Good Thing(TM). It will come back and bite in their "*censored*". Already it has happened in UK. In a major way.

Soon the other side will also learn that they won't be taken as refugees as if they don't change their thinking of Ummah and creating problem. Americans have taken zero refugees. And the Americans are the one who messed all up. Lol

Congress was in power for 60 years with several landslide election wins. That does not qualify any of their party-men as great leaders. If Modi wins another 20 years, he will always remain a liar with failed promises.

All these criticisms against Modi regarding GST and demonetisation are BS.

IMF, World Bank and ADB have this common observation on Modi’s GST and demonetisation

`Have you read resolutions of EU Parliament? Read them here :

Home | Delegations | European Parliament

Choose the individual delegations. Read the individual resolution. And then go and look what countries have done after getting those stupid resolution.

Oh, and for love of God, EU-members, EU and EU Parliament are THREE very different things.

Pasting what I put on my discord:

The situation at the USA-Mexico border, July 2019 | d-us | Delegations | European Parliament

Compare before and after (w.r.t this resolution, in similar emotional territory and similarly misinformed basis) for this much larger economic relationship and soft power (USA with EU), if that's the argument for a right wing govt to worry.

If MMS govt was left wing and more PC , did it manage to stop eu parliament resolutions w.r.t Kashmir, call for talks (even after 08 happened)?

Most ppl just assume apples to apples when they hear 'parliament' and 'bill' even if its non binding resolution.

The left wing globalist funded press have already ventured far into what they do, and their tactics and stunts esp more so after trump 2016. So nothing really to be super gained by trying to appease them or their agents and controllers.

======

I would like to add here that this does not mean totally ignore/dismiss the EU parliament "actions" ...just respond appropriately as one would to any "resolution" made by politi-bureaucrat shadow-boxing (and that is essentially what the EU has created in its "parliament" if you look at the many hoops between it and actual employ of executive power).

These matters are India and India's alone to handle.

If they persist with this noise creation as all toothless bureaucrats love to do (to look busy)....simply find their sensitive pressure points and push there (using help from right wing govts that have their know on the issue) to expose more hypocrisy to their actual populace on the ground (the ultimate reason why brexit eventually happened a humongous slap on their face). Simply ask, if a resolution carries no weight and means effectively nothing, why waste paper on it....arent trees good for the environment? Why create this much hot-air, don't we want to reduce global warming....and speaking of which why do you lot persist on travelling in private jets and living in gated communities away from the mess you are creating in your constituent voter areas? Isnt your time better served addressing that?

If you really need to go further than this, simply call out their largest BS hypocrisy...that we dont need any reference points and weak toothed "resolutions" from people just 1 - 2 generations down their little virtue-signalling road from such things as the holocaust and colonialism. They can FIRST do their penance for a 100 generations till their resolutions gather some slight muster (for pulpit preaching) given the scale of what these people did and what still lingers as a result. India should file a counter-resolution in Indian parliament to this effect if you ask me.
 

150+ people died, lakhs lost jobs, those in hospitals faced a crisis - those CEOs from imf/wb do not put food on my plate, nor pay medical bills. The wb ceo spoke while sitting on her brains, without referring to relevant data or research.
 
I dunno, A-370, Triple Talaq, Ram Mandir... They have fulfilled a number of their long given promises.

That is because half of India cant see a world beyond Hindu-Muslim-Pak. Plenty of jobless c$$$$$$ to appease and take care of.

Great, you have a bleeding heart. Now, where was that for all the decades before Modi? All the bleeding hearts came out only after 2014. If you are talking about deaths, more people have died due to inaction than demonetisation. For example, we should have been a developed country by the time we were in the 90s. The infant and maternal mortality rates should have been in single digits. I blame all those deaths over the last 70 years because we didn't have a govt that could actually make tough decisions.

I have a question for you, how many articles have you read about food prices rising during Modi's term versus UPA's? How many people do you think have not gone hungry because food prices have been in control?

All the "CEOs" you are talking about are actual economists, not pretentious economists with an agenda to grind, at least in this case. This is the first time in our history that we actually have food security. So it's Modi putting food on your table, not the CEOs, and they recognise that, critics do not.

Do you know that for the first time in our history, we have health insurance for people? And it's coming in at a cost that's extremely affordable, something that could have been done by any other previous govt too, but this upsets too many people involved in fleecing the govt and the poor. Bleeding hearts do not want to upset the applecart, let's instead quietly leave the downtrodden to wallow in their grief. Who cares if children die, let's save all those dumbasses who stood in the sun in a queue when they didn't need to.

As for jobs, the job market is fine. Just the formal market has created millions of jobs every year. Here's something interesting:
10.86 lakh jobs created in August 2019: EPFO data- Business News
Since September 2017, 1.23 crore jobs have been created. Out of which, 15.53 lakh jobs were created in between September 2017 to March 2018. A total of 61.12 lakh jobs were created in FY19.

1.2 million new jobs created in September 2019, show ESIC payroll data
It also showed that during September 2017 to September 2019, around 3.10 crore new subscribers joined the ESIC scheme.

That's 31 million jobs created in 2 years, a year after demonetisation. These job creation figures are connected to Aadhaar now, so they can't be fudged. And remember this is just the formal economy which represents only 10% of the economy.

And let's not even begin talking about all the progress made in transportation, electricity and sanitation. More work was done in these sectors in the last 5 years than in the last 70.

This govt is the only govt that has been able to increase govt spending while decreasing taxes, to the point where we even have health insurance now.

That's the problem, all the criticisms against the Modi govt are simply based on fallacies. Like these CAA protests. And even that nonsense about jobs. Never mind demonetisation and GST, where critics do not even have the most basic information to actually criticise them.

Another ignorant statement. Most Indians are concerned about their own lives. Did you forget UPA won elections only a few months after the Mumbai attacks even though no action was taken?

This is another dumb argument made by anti-Modi critics that has no basis.

Hello Sir

I tagged you in a couple of Defence related posts , I hope you saw them
 
I would like to add here that this does not mean totally ignore/dismiss the EU parliament "actions" ...just respond appropriately as one would to any "resolution" made by politi-bureaucrat shadow-boxing (and that is essentially what the EU has created in its "parliament" if you look at the many hoops between it and actual employ of executive power).
I tried talking about the same. I know what EU Parliament (heck EU itself) is. But then people start getting emotional. They tell me "be idealistic"! "be realistic"! at the same time. I cann't quote EU Parliament's resolution against China because "We are NOT China, Islamists and Dictatorship!". I cann't quote EU Parliament's resolution against USA, because "USA is a superpower and created EU and EU parliament!". So these days I quote EU Parliaments resolution on Brazil. They are equally worthless and ineffective.

But in process I discovered something. I call it Third Cheek Ideology and the followers of that I call them Third Cheek Gang. Basically these folks believe if India is slapped on both the cheeks, India should feel ashamed that it did not have a third cheek to show. Yes, you are seeing that in action.

It is easy to pull a stupid joke as it would be impossible for you to think with common sense, until tragedy hits home. PMC bank is closest to home, ideal for an emergency. My father lost his job during demo, my mother had a surgery in Jan - the amount of stress to clear the payments was a horrifying experience. You'd think I'd have any respect for duo of c$$$$$$ in Modi/Shah?

Hope your mom is safe now . Btw, hospitals are allowed to accept old notes during demo

Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes valid for key utilities, hospitals & petrol pumps till November 24

You can't stop any one passing any resolution that's totally absurd, and EU passed a resolution for debate.
You failed to explain your own people what CAA is you think world will understand? But as I said before, it will backfire on Pakistanis , have some patience.

PS: Had you made India a hindu rahstrya and declared it a Hindu nation these kind of problems would have not rose. The seed of secularism sown is very costly when you reap it's fruit.
 
We are getting late: Mumbai local commuters clash with anti-CAA protesters as they block rail tracks

As part of Bharat Bandh, a group of anti-CAA protesters blocked rail tracks which affected Mumbai local train services. Commuters, who were getting late to work, clashed with these protesters.

Local train services on railways central line were hit during peak hours on Wednesday morning after anti-CAA protesters blocked rail tracks.

Commuters faced inconvenience as members of Bahujan Kranti Morcha blocked rail tracks at Kanjurmarg station as part of Bharat Bandh to protest against the new citizenship law and NRC. Some of the protesters sat on the rail tracks as they held posters against the new citizenship law.

Police said the incident took place at Kanjurmarg railway station between 8.05 and 8.25 am. "Around 50 protesters sat on the rail track in front of a local train at Kanjurmarg railway station. They were raising slogans against the central government and against CAA, NRC. This affected other trains also," police said.


However, before police reached the 'rail roko' site, protesters were confronted by face angry commuters who said they were getting late for work.

Many stepped down to ask protesters to lift their protest. This is when clashes broke out between protesters and angry commuters. Police, however, reached the spot and removed protesters from tracks. Some protesters were even detained, sources said.

While operations were halted for around 15 minutes, the services have now resumed. Mornings are peak hours for Mumbai rail traffic. Even a small delay affects commuters.

Another scam, just like the gas cylinder scheme.

Created??? Most of those were jobs lost, that were reinstated.

This statement keeps floating around a lot, looks like 5 years ago there were no highways and other infra.

Thats the reason we are growing at 5% or so.

UPA won elections only a few months after the Mumbai attacks
BJP IT cell did was not equipped with Whatsapp, and i guess MMS knew what he was doing. Modi is lucky, did not face oil at $125/barrel and global recession, yet we are no where near our growth potential. Let oil reach $100/barrel and Modis wheels will fall off his chariot.

Look, how quickly the quality deteriorated the minute facts were presented.

Another scam, just like the gas cylinder scheme.

Yeah, yeah, everything is a scam. Never mind the fact that it has already kicked off.

Created??? Most of those were jobs lost, that were reinstated.

Another reason why critics are ignorant. The jobs created here are in the formal economy, where salaries are paid by bank transfers. Where jobs were lost during demo was in the informal sector where salaries were paid in cash and the jobs were all low profile jobs where there is no actual data available. But jobs were already going to hell in the informal sector due to UPA's bad credit policies since 2011. During demo, jobs were not lost in the formal sector.

Any macroeconomist would rebuke this thought.

Nothing is black and white. It's about more responsible spending priorities and lower corruption.

Thats the reason we are growing at 5% or so.

Growth and recession are cyclical. We are in a cyclical problem of not having enough credit in the market. This is just like how you have zero productivity when you are asleep.

Not really. Even if oil prices increase, growth is a different story. Right now the lack of growth is due to a credit crunch. Once the credit situation improves, we will go back to 7 and 8% growth. India was not affected by the global recession. If oil prices increase, focus and investment on alternatives will increase, nothing more. So the job situation will not change on a net basis.
