Let us Collectively Accord Education Highest Importance and Provide Public Schools With the Best Infrastructure

The cause, and where I stand Let me begin with a clarification I should not have to make, but must. My support for the school-improvement movement initiated by the CJP is genuine — and it is support for a cause, not a party. I am strictly apolitical. When I amplify this cause, some assume I am anti-BJP or anti-ruling party. I am neither; that is never my starting point. I revolve around causes and hope to see them accomplished. Some in power may overlook them; some outside, with clear thinking, will identify them — and people doing the right thing at the right time deserve backing, whoever they are. It is coincidence that I have backed two CJP causes in two months: first the fight against paper leaks, which is rational and urgent, and now the fight for schools, which is personal to me. Beyond that I carry no affiliation and no agenda. When the cause is primary, politics are secondary — and for me politics will always be secondary, because a country that takes sides before it takes sto...

Entirely Concur With 'School Thik Karo': India's Neglected Priority, Missing Common Sense, Promise Unkept - Completely Unacceptable Village Schools and the Fight to Fix It Now

Begin with an act of solidarity. The Cockroach Janta Party — the young movement that stood at Jantar Mantar for thirty-six days until an Education Minister resigned — has turned its energy toward the most foundational cause in the country. On August 15, 2026, from his own village of Hingoli in Maharashtra, its founder launched the "School Thik Karo" campaign: asking parents to walk into their village school, audit what is missing, and asking every sarpanch to own the fixing of it. This is precisely the right fight, at precisely the right moment, aimed at precisely the right target. It deserves not applause but amplification. Concur with it. Join it. Because the question the campaign asks is the question this article exists to press: why, eighty years after independence, in the age of good money, do the schools of farmers' and labourers' children still lack light, water, working toilets and a second teacher? Where India actually sits Strip away the noise of rankings ...

Please, No, Please, No — A Plea for Nature in the Age of Percolating AI

Some fears deserve to be spoken the way a child speaks them — without sophistication, hands folded, twice for emphasis. Please, no. Please, no. That is the correct prayer for our moment, as artificial intelligence percolates into every crack of human life — every phone, every office, every farm, every school — and sends its bill, quietly, to the one account that cannot refuse payment: the Earth's. This is not a plea against AI. It is a plea against a particular carelessness — the assumption that intelligence can be poured infinitely into the world without asking what it is poured through . Because the answer, today, is: through power plants, through rivers, through mines, through land. And each of those deserves its own refrain. Please, no — not the air Begin with the largest number. Data centres already draw around 1.5% of all electricity generated on Earth — roughly the consumption of a mid-sized industrial nation — and the International Energy Agency expects this to more tha...

Independence Day Eve: From Subsistence to Samudra Manthan: Why India Must Reinvent Itself to Inspire the World

There are two ways for a nation to exist. It can subsist — grow a little every year, manage its problems, celebrate small wins, and ask nothing grander of itself than stability. Or it can inspire — become the place the world watches to learn what is possible. On her eightieth Independence Day, India must admit an uncomfortable truth to herself: somewhere in the last few years, she has drifted from the second path to the first. And she must decide, deliberately, to drift no more. This is not pessimism. It is a demand for ambition. India has inspired the world before — not once, but repeatedly. Nalanda and Takshashila drew students across continents when Europe had no universities. Gandhi's satyagraha taught Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela how to fight empires without guns. The 1991 reforms showed how a closing economy opens itself. The IT revolution proved a poor country could sell brainpower to the richest. During the pandemic, Indian vaccines reached a hundred nations; UPI ...

Return to a State of My 16 years Presence - The Telangana and its Model: How a Young State Is Rewriting and Inspiring India’s Growth Story

On the eve of Independence Day, India should celebrate not only the freedom won in 1947, but also the extraordinary possibilities that freedom has created. Across the country, different states are experimenting, competing, innovating and finding their own pathways to prosperity. Among these stories, Telangana stands out as one of the most striking. Formed in 2014, Telangana is still a young state by any measure. Yet in little more than a decade, it has built an economy that stands out nationally on several important parameters, while Hyderabad has emerged as one of India's most globally connected and economically dynamic cities. What makes the Telangana story especially interesting is not any single ranking. It is the unusual combination of high per-capita income, technology, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, global capability centres, aerospace and defence, startups, investment, administrative decentralisation, irrigation and urban development within one young state. That is why ...

Important!! When the Household Changes after 4 years: Can a High-Performance Life of a Hostel Continue at Home?

For four years, a man lived in a hostel or PG setting and built a remarkably active way of life. He worked from home for a software company during the day, but work was only one part of his routine. His evenings included chores, personal errands, library visits, temple visits and other regular activities. Every weekend, he wrote impactful articles, maintaining a rhythm of about two articles a week. He also travelled out of station roughly once a month. In effect, he worked or pursued something meaningful almost every day, keeping the ball moving continuously. What is striking about this life is not necessarily the workload. Most of the activities were ordinary. What made the lifestyle unusual was the intensity, seriousness and regularity with which they were pursued. The work itself was becoming increasingly consequential, and the habit of maintaining momentum was becoming stronger. His environment was also important. During those four years, around five to ten people in the househol...

Climbing Up the Ladder of Growth: The Rung of Ownership, Enterprise and Institutions in Telugu Society

Here is the paradox that should keep two states awake at night. A boy who studied in Hyderabad's public schools runs Microsoft. Telugu engineers sit inside every technology company that matters on this planet. Telugu doctors staff hospital systems across three continents. By the metric of talent exported, no society of eight crore people has ever punched harder. And yet — walk through the economies of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and ask a colder question: of everything this talent builds, how much do these two states own ? The answer is vanishingly little. We produce the CEOs of trillion-dollar companies and own almost no companies. We are the world's most successful employees, and that success has quietly become our ceiling. The ladder, and our address on it Societies climb a five-rung ladder, whether they name it or not. Rung one, Survival: subsistence farming, education a luxury. Rung two, Security through employment: the society discovers an escape route — a degree, a jo...
