INDIAN ECON, POLITICS, SOCIETY + BTC PRICE

Otherwise I dont find anything bad in opting for NOTA.

It just shows we are not happy with any candidates but NOTA got no weight at all, assuming even if NOTA wins the assembly the second highest candidate with the vote count will be announced as the winner, there will be no re-election which makes all the effort goes useless, instead we can show the support independent candidates and who knows they can do something compared to these corrupted parties.

I totally get your frustration — a lot of people I know feel the same way. The last few years have been rough for the economy, and it’s hard to stay optimistic when policy keeps missing the mark. But at the same time, I think that’s exactly why more people are starting to look into crypto and decentralized finance. When the system feels shaky, people naturally want assets that aren’t tied to government decisions or inflation risks.

Even Bitcoin’s price trends seem to reflect how people feel about the bigger picture — when trust in institutions drops, interest in decentralized alternatives tends to rise. It doesn’t fix the underlying issues, but it does give individuals a bit more control over their future, and that’s something worth paying attention to.

This is first time i voted for NOTA. beleive or not, in Delhi I was AAP voter lol but things changed quite drastically.

The BJP candidate in my constituency was absolute shame and wannabe ganster/bahubali (he won) and AAP was useless , congress was nowhere. Also i had zero expectations from BJP's cm candidate Rekha Gupta. Thought she'd be like all talk but she's proving many people wrong and as of now looking solid. Fingers crossed for Delhi.

It seems that you are a BJP hater! It looks like you are deliberately portraying the BJP as having all the goons. I am sure you have not read about Kejriwal   Or the Congress goons. Your POV does matter as the BJP under MODI will again win the next election in Bihar, or they will form a coalition gov. The truth is, these guys have the balls to make our neighbors realize how pathetic they are, and they will be.

[TheUltraElite]

Hater or lover, you have to make fun of politicians. No respect to the people who are actually running the country instead we are slammed with pics of the ministers who are voted by the same public as to what they are doing.

Only those who are thinking critically will realize the lack of substance in their lectures and how far from realization those promises end up being.

Then again, we dont have much options at hand. Its like two sides of the same piece of shit.

The majority of the population is living at the verge, they are expecting some kind of a miracle from their leaders to change the way we live completely but it never happened in the past and it's not going to happen in the future too but what we need is right kind of leader who focus on the long term growth of country as well their people instead of focusing on their next election and how can we deceive them into voting for our party.

Haha not a hater per se, it's just i didn't prefer BJP in assembly election because their delhi cadre didn't click and policies were meh. In general election I vote for BJP though. Like many states, Delhi folks had this funda for a decade " delhi mein kejri and desh mein Modi".

Kejriwal turned out to be dud and corrupt but we can't deny the fact that people were fascinated by his party and looking for alternative options other than congress and BJP.

Bihar has gone to the dogs, be it Lalu, Nitish or BJP so hardly matters who win. Prashant kishor making some noise but it's too early for him and at times he appears to be kejriwal 2.0. IMHO bihar need a figure like Yogi who can tighten the screw and improve law n order, everything else follows once law n order fixed. UP is good example, still tons of work to do but trajectory is in uptrend.

Der aaye par durust aaye, all is not dead and this is giving me some hope that somehow in next 10 years we won't be overwhelming dependent on anyone as far as digital tech is concerned which is dominated by US tech giants.

Considering the size of India, talent pool and market. It'd be a shame if we can't provide the alternative ecosystem.

We have talents who are capable of making such but there is not enough incentive for them when they achieve something which is why everyone got US green card as their life goal in the last 50 years. While the recent geopolitical may change that stance for the future generation and for the governments it is important to encourage the startups who are trying to bring in the solutions as alternatives against the big giants in the field. Also not to make their life as a hell in their beginning stage of any kind of startup is the best thing they can do to encourage just activities.

[JSRAW]

^^ atm it does looks like government is doing it's bits by giving some support to zoho, hearing that they are the one of the player, which can potentially crack the code hence the soft backing.

If they manage to click then can imagine fair amount of talent at least start considering about staying instead of migration, even if succes rate is 10-20% it'll be win.

Zoho is one of the company that brought international standards in IT related services and products, they preferred the skill over certificates which is why they have been able to achieve this kind of success and I am sure the company got the potential to prove it too. The only way to stop the migration of talents to US companies is to increase their potential earning in India even if it's not same as US but somewhat in the halfway stage is convincing for many.

Why are you sounding like Akshat Shrivastav ? Even he speaks like that

Indian government should have done this long time ago.
Few years back startup culture was rising in India when it banned Chinese apps from the playstore and promoted Make In India.
But since last 2 years we have been seeing a decline as many startups started to fail.
Hopefully this move will re-ignite the fire in the startup culture of India.

Yeah, I heard that they go for non IIT talent without any fuss. Matching penny for penny won't be possible anyway but yeah halfway income bracket doesn't sound bad and when you mix it with other factors like cost of living, family etc it does make a good option.

Lol na bhai, maa kasam I am not chindi chor 

Arey failing is no issue, it's part of the process and constructive destruction is always good so jyada farak nahi as long as people keep trying.

Yeah that is true. Failures are stepping stones to success and that is bound to happen at some point.
But I am talking majorly about the recent changes that has caused a decline in startup culture, mostly the foreign funding from VCs.
For example: FDI restrictions on funding from nearby countries like China and RBI's stricter regulations and also SEBI's stricter IPO norms which caused scaling issues in startups.
I hope government actually does something which increases the number of startups instead.

I don't think government is encouraging the start ups or innovations at all they are just taking care of the richest persons like top 10 and make every rules in favor of them. Even the recent tariff by Trump against India is because of buying Russian oil and we Indians are not getting any benefits, it's reliance who buys it and sell it back to other countries and make all the profit but now people from all over India is struggling because government favoured on rich individual in the country.

Chinese investment will start coming again, not in critical sector tho. Already saw few reports of Chinese -indian collaboration in electronic PLI -2.0. have no doubt about smartphones and electronic manufacturing going brrrr in next few years, including value addition (atm it's around 20% in smartphone). Need war footing efforts in labour intensive industry tho.

Ship building and maritime is another sector and hopeful for big tick in a decade because gov is getting it's shit together.

Russia oil is not about crony capitalism but strategic and I'd have expected the same move even if congress was sitting in the new delhi.

I thought India buying oil from Russia is to support them while they are in need.
India and Russia has been supporting each other since a long time and may be Modi wants to continue that and hence going against the US and still supporting Russia.
US is so much into politics that it will at one point get left behind while India takes the lead globally. What do you think ?

P.S: Just heard that China has declared itself as no longer a developing country. Kaafi aage nikal gaye lagta hai.

India buying Russian oil only because it is cheaper but India-Russia got long history of supporting each other.

Trump wants to take control and create an illusion that US is still great which is why he is onto every geopolitical event and trying to do what he wants to happen on this matter but India reject such proposals and thought about it's future which is why we are now facing tariff and new visa restrictions that affect so India may bow again to US orders.

But even most of the US people who are in the business doesn't support this move because it will have long term effect on US than India so this is just a threatening attempt will resolve in a year.

its a cold calculated move and based on national interst. India's support to Russia is not against West but related to china. India would never risk Russia to fall in China's camp completely ( Russia don't want this either because they also share border with china). India actually has well placed doctrine in this regard since 50s.

Nah we are nowhere close to leading anyone and shouldn't do showbazi for atleast next decade. Need to build more capabilities and most importantly add trillions after trillions in economy, yeh leading etc hota rahega baad mein. Also, for some reason hum log dhol jyada bajate hai maybe because of argumentative nature.

Yeah even I was thinking about the same thing. If companies from the US has to pay such huge fees for H1B visa to employ Indians then they would have no other option than to hire their own citizens.
Although US people are productive but they don't work over time and demand for a lot more than Indians.
Indians work more for lesser pay and eventually this will become a huge issue for US companies thus a huge loss for US if they don't reconsider this decision.
