Hi folks, I've started a substack blog and the first post is a long-form essay about impact of the Mutiny in 1857 on the massacre in Amritsar in 1919. I don't think we get enough context in our books and movies. If you like it, please share and subscribe!

The Idu Mishmi of Arunachal is not the only Indian community to take steps recently to institute rules for researchers.
In August, the tribal council of Little & Great Nicobar also published a set of rules.

The tribal council said an unprecedented rush of researchers prompted them to the Nicobar Islands.

"An estimate of 143 Lakhs people are going to get displaced bcoz of the Siang River Dam constructed at Arunachal Bhawan."
"I would like to ask PM Modi, will they give them Land in Gujarat, will he built Houses for these Will you build homes for those have been left homeless?"

Will China Take Over Arunachal Pradesh?
Another SHOCKING video from Arunachal is Viral. WATCH👇🏽
An intense commentary addressing border security warnings and regional discontent has ignited widespread national debate.
Following recent ITBP border observations highlighting China’s overwhelming infrastructure and military advantage along the Line of Actual Control, a viral reel from an Arunachal Pradesh youth claimed that he and the region would soon belong to China.
Speaker Neetu Mam highlighted this conflict, pointing out the stark contradiction in domestic behavior: citizens display loud aggression toward local rickshaw pullers and weaker neighbors like Pakistan, while remaining silent on real border challenges.
The commentary notes that while India and China stood on equal economic footing in the 1990s, China’s pragmatic focus on quiet work and defense manufacturing propelled it decades ahead. Should national focus shift from loud political rhetoric to core economic and border infrastructure development?

Lapses galore, that is why information under RTI is being denied with the excuse of national security.

“Siang is not a river but our identity. It is our mother. If there is no Siang, there is also no Adi community. Our history, lives and culture are centred around Siang. We cannot let a dam erase our heritage."

An extremely well deserved flop. There is justice. Let the ethical minority rule prevail.
I was in Kazakhstan a few times after "Borat"; people were still distressed about it, would bring it up randomly to explain that "the film misrepresents the country".
Antigoyimism is real.
Sacha Baron Cohen personally invested $3 million of his own money into the new Ali G film.
The film is rumored to have cost over $160 million to make, with 54 credited producers, including 13 executive producers.
It has since been pulled from theatres and total box office gross to date is around $3 million.
It is on track to be the biggest box-office flop in history.

Destroying ancient, irreplaceable #ecosystems (even #ProtectedAreas) in #Nicobar, Panna #TigerReserve, and #Bhimashankar #Karjat #forests & more.... only to pour crores into 'developing' a 'rainforest' with fake rain and waterfalls for #tourism.
Oh, the hubris of man.
Make it make sense. 📉🌿🤡🤦♂️🌳

With the Indian stock market being one of the world's worst performing, naturally many anxious middle-class Indians are now looking to invest in foreign stock markets.
But even that channel might soon be closed if a news report is to be believed. Automatic capital outflows under the LRS might soon be completely shut.
I unpack how India's BJP-leaning middle class is now taken fully for granted in my weekly newsletter, the India Fix
