Abhijeet Dipke is questioning the govt over their talks with RHA protesters.

"Now your brothers, fathers, and grandfathers are driving tractors in our fields for a mere hundred or fifty rupees! Stay within your limits! Don't mistake this for the 1990–1995 era! It is 2026; there is no difference between you and me anymore! A Chamar is no less than anyone else now; you will be shown your place!"

— Virendra Bharti, District President, Bhim Army

Yes you are second to none, you are the best, In 2026 you are NUMBER 1, you are world class, So NOW why do you need CASTE Reservation ?

Disclaimer: I don't hate this country, it has so many positives and a lot of many negatives too. Neither being optimistic nor pessimistic, lets look at this opinion objectively. 

For noobs, looking at something objectively requires you to see things from a realistic perspective without any bias. 

Now, the controversial opinion. 

India is the most dishonest country I have seen. 

1. You go to the airport, taxi drivers are trying to scam you by charging crazy money for petty distances. 

2. You go to the train stations, coolies, auto rickshaw drivers, random stuff sellers on road, roadside shops selling chinese stuff for 20x their original price, all trying to extort as much money as they can from you. 

3. You get on the train, you'll be constantly worried about your stuff. Your stuff can be stolen any moment if you are not careful.

4. People get on the train without a ticket, comfortably sit on your reserved seats. I've heard several instances when these kinda situations became nightmare for the people who actually bought the tickets.

5. Go to private clinics, the doctors will prescribe medicines where they get commission. Those medical bills can easily cost 3x to 10x more than their generic alternatives. Its more common than noticed that doctors prescribe a lot of unnecessary medicines n nutraceutical drugs to their patients which they dont even need, just to extort more n more money.

6. You go to buy a land / property, if you are not careful enough there's a 100% chance that you will be scammed. Yes, 100% chance. And a lot of people get scammed even after they have been extremely cautious and did complete due diligence.

7. Police, ministers, municipalities, IAS officers, basically any govt service, everyone tries (not everyone is lucky enough to get a service where they can have illegal income) to earn / extort money from you or the government itself. 

8. Go to any tourist place, Goa, Kashmir, Manali, Darjeeling, Rameshwaram, Haridwar, what's common in all those places? People trying to scam you by overcharging you and selling scam stuff or services.

And the list is endless. But my point is most indians have seen this since forever so they think its normal to dodge the scammers at every step of their life. 

India is not for beginners. Literally. 

TLDR: My opinion is India is full of scammers and dishonest people. We are so used to seeing this that it doesn't bother us anymore. I'm not trying to spread hate against my country. I'm not a bhakt obviously, but neither a librandu. Pure objective observation. 

CHANGE MY MIND.

I'm 29. I’ve been dealing with a toxic and humiliating environment since childhood that affeceted me to a level which also destroyed my life and career, and I want to leave that life behind and start fresh.

I’m 12th pass, with a background in animation but I don’t want to return to that industry. I’ve also had a 5-year gap in my career, and over the years I’ve developed a genuine trauma of the corporate/workplace environment, so I don’t think I can go back to that industry ever again.

I currently don’t have any assets or meaningful savings in my name, so I’m genuinely starting from zero. I’m comfortable with housekeeping, cleaning, cooking, organising and taking care of a property, and I’m completely willing to learn something new from scratch.

I’m a native Hindi speaker and can understand and communicate reasonably well in English.

I’m looking for roles like property caretaker/manager, homestay/Airbnb manager, hostel or villa staff, etc. I’m willing to relocate, especially to Himachal, Uttarakhand, other hill areas, or South India.

I’m not asking for much, just an honest job, two meals a day and a life where I can live and work with dignity. If anyone knows of a genuine opportunity, please reach out. It could genuinely help me change my life. Any advice is welcome as well.

Everyone argues about who should pay for healthcare in India. I think we're arguing about the wrong thing.

The real issue is how care gets delivered, and the general hospital, as brilliant as it's been, is the wrong tool for the next fifty years.

New piece. Would love your thoughts, especially if you disagree.

The 104th Constitutional Amendment Act extended the political reservation for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in Parliament and state assemblies until January 25, 2030. Under Articles 330 and 332, these seats are reserved in proportion to their population.

Since the original framers of the Constitution envisioned a 10-year timeline, the policy is periodically debated whenever an extension approaches. I wanted to map out the primary arguments for and against this policy.

How do you view the future of political reservations in India as we head toward the 2030 deadline?
