My Holiday Gift of an Affordable India for a Common Man: Understanding the Present-Day Price Rise and Treating the Root of the Problem

There is a question that hangs unspoken over the lives of most Indians, and it is not asked in the celebratory headlines about India becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. It is asked in kitchens, at bus stops, outside school gates, and at the counter of the gas agency. The question is brutally simple: how is a poor man, earning little, supposed to live in a country where everything he needs to survive keeps getting more expensive? For a thin sliver of India, this question never arises. For the vast majority — the hundreds of millions who form the true body of this nation — it is the central, grinding fact of existence. This is the affordability crisis India has not yet found the courage to name, and it is the truest measure of whether the country's much-celebrated growth is actually reaching the people it claims to serve. Begin with the man himself. The average monthly earnings in 2022 stood at roughly ₹11,973 for the self-employed and about ₹19,010 for the regular sala...

The Positive Reason to Enter 'Brotherhood' — Why Rejuvenation Is a Gift You Owe the World To Remove Negativity

There is a particular kind of tiredness that does not announce itself. It is not the pleasant fatigue of a good day's labour, the kind that dissolves in a night's sleep. It is the deep, accumulated exhaustion of weeks and months of slogging without pause — the tiredness that seeps into the bones, settles behind the eyes, and slowly changes the very texture of a person. We tend to wear this exhaustion as a badge of honour. We boast about the hours, the missed weekends, the relentlessness. But we rarely stop to ask the more important question: what does a depleted person actually give to the world around them? And the honest answer is sobering. A worn-out human being does not simply work less well. They radiate their depletion outward, into every room they enter and every relationship they touch. This is the truth we hide from ourselves in cultures that worship hard work above all else. We imagine the overworked person as a hero quietly sacrificing for the greater good. But sit...

Few Ingredients for India 2047 - Partnership with Rest of the World and a Rising Generation

The Faces of a Rising India   Take millions of 15ish year olds in the nation , and look at the volume of high achievement now emerging from India's largest school board. In the 2025 CBSE Class 10 results, 199,944 students — 8.43 percent of all candidates — scored above 90 percent, and 45,516 students scored above 95 percent. To grasp how recent this scale is, rewind two decades: a student scoring above 90 percent was a district-level celebrity whose name appeared in the local newspaper. Today, nearly two lakh of them emerge from a single board in a single year. CBSE's Class 10 pass percentage itself rose to 93.66 percent in 2025, with the number of students scoring above 90 and 95 percent climbing steadily across 2024 and 2025.   The state boards tell the same story at their own vast scale. Consider Andhra Pradesh. In 2026, the state declared an overall Class 10 pass percentage of 85.25 percent among more than 6.4 lakh students. In 2024, 69.26 percent of all its Cla...

Saving an Independent Nation from Foreign Influence - India for Self reliance, India for the World

There is an old adage in geopolitics — a nation that cannot feed, clothe, defend, and digitally connect itself does not truly own its future, regardless of how loudly it celebrates its sovereignty on Independence Day. India, with 1.4 billion citizens and a civilisation that once produced a quarter of the world's GDP, has spent the better part of seven decades after Independence in a strange in-between place — too proud to be a vassal, too dependent to be a leader. Today, that is changing. Slowly, unevenly, but unmistakably, India is rediscovering an ancient truth: that real self-reliance is not isolation, but the strength to engage the world from a position of internal competence. Atmanirbhar Bharat — a self-reliant India — is not a retreat from globalisation . It is the foundation upon which a meaningful globalisation must rest.   Why Self-Reliance Matters More for India Than for Anyone Else   A small country can afford to depend on others. A nation of 1.4 billion people ...
