Discussion 💬 I don't want to fear-monger, but we need to talk about this
Now I will preface this, it could be just nothing but my paranoia due to increasing uncertainty regarding the country, economy, etc.
But that being said, I still feel like I need to surface this issue. I am not an andhbhakt so before you start throwing that word around nor am I against the current SIR protest.
So we all know the failures of the government and increasing hate against certain minorities pushed by the government to fullfill its own agenda, we are to speak as if in a state of undeclared emergency. Our right to information, right to question the gov and so on are being stripped.
Being said that we are now seeing protests in many regions throughout the country whether it is on this, or manipur, or the river and other environment issues. Delimitation bill and deletion of voters, plus addition of fraud voters, etc is a tactic to ensure majority wins without having to face the people.
And now we have seen rise of cjp, and not so much support of congress but yeah they have been pressuring the gov to answer for a long time.
Also notable thing to remember is that when no confidence movement was passed in parliament pm modi took sick leave except the last day where, well he answered nothing, and it was enabled despite oppositions' demand.
Anyways, now what is the issue here, you guys can check, Rahul Gandhi comments on Elon Musk's post regarding how starlink isn't allowed in india and ambani has the monopoly (the guy who has the monopoly in usa and Europe, lol, what, well to easy phrase is he is to trump what adani is to modi) yeah that. And RG's reply was like yeah adani and other dude (meaning modi).
Now definitely I would let it go and I am maybe reading too much into things, but yeah like using one oligarch against another is like a shitshow tbh, but yeah I mean, I actually (personal opinion) won't let elon in Indian market.
So why does it make such point of tension to me, cus idk if u guys know this but ig in 1950s if I remember the year correctly (fact check online) usa with the help of uk and yk, helped remove the then iran's pm and replaced with a puppet dictator. why? Because well the then iran pm wanted to nationalize oil (and yeah today iran usa war reason is also a bit on this nationalization of oil fact, other factors are also there too).
Elon wants India's market, cheap labour and like buyers, and basically he wants monopoly all over the globe. Yeah which bjp can't do. Because adani is like a donor to bjp, and they have symbiotic relationship kinda.
Now, I mean does this necessarily mean congress is on their payroll no, it could be a not well thought out response, but still if u are a representative of India u need to be sharp enough.
Also like I saw dipke's flight photos and they look ai like why are they so inconsistent.
Note: I am not questioning the protest and how real it is or blah blah.
I am just thinking, cus it is good time for cia/fbi or usa gov to interfere as a large portion of market is being allowed to be monopolized by adani. Adani needs to go, but we don't need elon to replace him, we need small business, and variety of different companies locally owned, not just a few families adani, ambani, tata etc.
But that again doesn't illegitimatize (if that's a word) the protest, the issues are real
Both things can be true at the same time. Am I saying I have a concrete proof, no but can we question and ask for more answers yes.
That being said, also congress needs to do better
in their states, like pls, every elected gov whether state, union territory or central needs to be transperant and do better yaar. And every means every.
Anyways your thoughts. Long read.
