"Addressing an election rally in Rajasthan’s Banswara, he said, “Pehle jab unki sarkar thi, unhone kaha tha ki desh ki sampati par pehla adhikar Musalmano ka hai. Iska matlab, ye sampati ikatthi karke kisko baatenge? Jinke zyada bacche hain, unko baatenge, ghuspaithiyon ko baatenge. Kya aapki mehnat ki kamayi ka paisa ghuspaithiyon ko diya jayega? Aapko manzoor hai yeh? (Earlier, when they (the Congress) were in power, they had said Muslims have the first right to the wealth of the nation. This means they will distribute this wealth to those who have more children, to infiltrators. Should your hard-earned money be given to infiltrators? Do you agree to this)?”

“Ye Congress ka manifesto keh raha hai, ki woh mataon aur beheno ke sone ka hisaab karenge, uski jarthi karenge, jaanakari lenge aur phir woh sampati ko baant denge. Aur unko baatenge, jinko Manmohan Singh ji ki sarkar ne kaha tha ki sampati par pehla adhikar Musalmanon ka hai. Bhaiyon aur behno, yeh Urban Naxal ki soch, meri mataon, behno, aapka mangal sutra bhi bachne nahi denge (Congress’s manifesto says they will take stock of the gold mothers and daughters have, and will distribute that wealth. Manmohan Singh’s government had said Muslims have the first right to wealth. Brothers and sisters, this Urban Naxal thinking will not spare even the mangal sutras of my mothers and sisters),” he said."

anurag thakur (mp most known for "goli maaron saalon ko" tr: shoot them [protestors] down) yesterday addresses rahul gandhi in parliament with "jiski jaat ka pata nahi wo ganna ki baat kar raha hai" (tr: he whose caste we don't know dares ask us to count caste) on the requests for a caste census. love the implications – mixed caste marriages (his mother was an italian) leave you casteless or that children of intercaste marriages should have no right to speak on caste or that only if your caste identity is recognisable (something dalit people go lengths to obscure) do you deserve space in public discourse on caste.

modi endorsed this message. tell me again how modi is obc and hindutva is aligned with a new anti caste politics. mixed caste marriages lead to honour killings in this country. intercaste marriage and dining have been central to the public repudiation of casteism bc it relies on caste endogamy and untouchability!

Israel has been able to insulate itself from the effects of the economic blockade imposed by the "Axis of Resistance" through supply chain warfare in the Middle East and the broader region.

PM Modi with genocidal Netanyahu.

I am republishing an article published yesterday by Mondoweiss because it confirms so much of what I have been saying since October 7th. As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said quite clearly - Israel is important to the US as a prevention strategy against China, Russia, Iran and a free “Global South”. The article is written by Ahmed Alqarout.

The article in full:

In a recent public address on October 4, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei highlighted for the first time what he described as U.S. and Israeli plans to control the region’s natural resources. He stated that Israel’s current war campaign aims to position Israel as a hub for exporting energy to Europe and importing technology to ensure its survival. Khamenei called for resistance against the so-called India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), a proposed land bridge connecting India, Saudi, the UAE, Jordan, Israel, and Europe. 

Days after his call, the Iranian parliament discussed introducing a bill for a defensive alliance with the countries belonging to the “Axis of Resistance.” Khamenei further elaborated on this vision on October 27, calling for the establishment of “a global political and economic alliance, and if necessary a military one” to confront Israel and stop its ongoing crimes against the peoples of the region. This signals a clash of markets might be the next phase of the war. At the heart of this clash is the conflict over dominance in regional and global supply chains. 

Supply chain disruptions have become a recurring global issue since the outbreak of COVID-19, which caused countries to implement stringent controls over imports and exports. The concept of supply chain security swiftly became a central concern. The U.S. government adopted protectionist measures, particularly regarding vaccine exports, while Russia and India imposed restrictions on food imports and exports, and China limited the export of protective equipment and medicines. This experience highlighted the importance of supply chain security for many nations.

Rajasthan: Rising, Reliable, and Refined — PM Modi at the Rising Rajasthan Summit

Rajasthan, a state known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes, has always been an integral part of India’s development journey. But on December 9, 2024, at the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted that Rajasthan is not only “Rising,” but also Reliable and ever-evolving, constantly refining itself to meet the challenges of the present and future.

In his address at the summit, PM Modi emphasized the state’s transformation and its growing importance as a global investment and tourism hub. He also acknowledged Rajasthan’s ability to adapt and grow in line with modern global dynamics. Let’s break down the key elements of PM Modi’s speech and understand how Rajasthan is carving a path towards a new era of growth and prosperity.

Rajasthan: Rising with Resilience and Potential

Prime Minister Modi aptly described Rajasthan as “Rising,” referring to its exponential growth in various sectors including infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, and tourism. Over the years, the state has made impressive strides in improving its economic landscape, becoming an attractive destination for both national and international investors. With several policy initiatives, including the introduction of investment-friendly reforms and a focus on promoting entrepreneurship, Rajasthan has witnessed a surge in industrial growth.

The state’s initiatives in solar energy, renewable resources, and IT infrastructure are helping Rajasthan claim its space as a leader in sustainable development. Moreover, Rajasthan is emerging as a major contributor to India’s “Atmanirbhar Bharat” vision, with its strong potential in areas like mining, textiles, and agriculture.

Rajasthan: Reliable and Trustworthy for Investments

In his speech, PM Modi highlighted that Rajasthan is not just rising, but it is also “Reliable.” This reliability comes from the state’s stable governance, robust legal framework, and a favorable business environment that assures investors of long-term returns. Rajasthan has successfully attracted global businesses, particularly in sectors such as renewable energy, manufacturing, and tourism, by offering incentives, subsidies, and a business-friendly ecosystem.

The state’s steady growth and the commitment of the government to maintain transparency and ease of doing business make it a trustworthy destination for foreign investments. Rajasthan is becoming a hub for industries looking for a blend of cost-effectiveness, skilled labor, and vast resources, making it a promising investment hotspot.

Rajasthan: Receptive to Change and Refined with Time

One of the most powerful messages from PM Modi’s speech was that Rajasthan is not static; it is “Receptive” to change and continuously refining its systems and infrastructure to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving world. Whether it’s embracing new technologies, improving urban infrastructure, or fostering a culture of innovation, Rajasthan is adapting to global trends while preserving its traditional values.

The state has shown a remarkable ability to blend its ancient heritage with modern development. From digitalizing its administrative processes to modernizing transportation and energy sectors, Rajasthan is learning to innovate while preserving its rich history and culture. The state’s focus on eco-tourism, adventure tourism, and heritage conservation is a prime example of how Rajasthan is keeping pace with the times while offering something unique to global visitors.

Key Focus Areas of the Rising Rajasthan Summit

The Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024 provided a platform for government officials, business leaders, and global investors to engage in discussions on various sectors where Rajasthan is poised to excel. PM Modi discussed key focus areas, including:

Renewable Energy — Rajasthan is one of the frontrunners in India’s solar energy revolution, and the state is committed to expanding its renewable energy capacity, making it an energy hub in the country.

Infrastructure Development — With the launch of mega infrastructure projects like the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), Rajasthan is well-positioned to become a major manufacturing and logistics center in the coming years.

Tourism — Rajasthan’s rich cultural heritage, along with its unique landscapes, makes it an ideal destination for global tourists. PM Modi emphasized the importance of upgrading tourism infrastructure, promoting Rajasthan’s distinctive heritage, and developing newer tourism circuits to further boost the sector.

Agriculture and Agri-Tech — PM Modi also focused on Rajasthan’s agriculture sector, encouraging the state to leverage technology and innovation to improve productivity and create sustainable farming solutions.

Skill Development and Employment — Creating employment opportunities through industrialization, IT development, and tourism, while also focusing on skill development to equip the youth of Rajasthan for the future workforce.

Rajasthan’s Vision for the Future

Rajasthan is showing the world that it is not just a state with a great past, but also one with a bright and dynamic future. Through government initiatives, infrastructural projects, and a thriving business ecosystem, the state is positioning itself as a leading player in India’s growth story.

PM Modi’s speech at the Rising Rajasthan Summit reinforced the idea that Rajasthan is not only “Rising” but is also a reliable and refined state, receptive to new ideas and ever-evolving to meet the demands of the 21st century. With a combination of rich heritage, modern innovation, and sustainable development, Rajasthan is ready to play a central role in India’s economic transformation.

The Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024 has not only showcased the state’s development achievements but also highlighted the immense potential Rajasthan holds for the future. As PM Modi rightly put it, Rajasthan is “Rising, Reliable, and Refined,” and with continued focus on innovation, infrastructure, and sustainability, the state is well on its way to becoming a global leader in investment, tourism, and economic growth.

Rajasthan’s journey is a testament to how a state can honor its traditions while embracing modernity, and this balance will ensure that the “Land of Kings” remains a force to reckon with on the global stage.

Recent riots have cast a shadow over France's beloved Bastille Day national holiday, which marks the start of the French revolution, with fireworks displays called off around the country, outraging some conservatives.

Fireworks sales have been banned over their use against security forces in riots which erupted at the end of June after police shot dead a teenager during a traffic stop, reviving anger over racism and police brutality.

France's most intense urban violence in nearly two decades rocked the country for a week, with thousands of cars torched, public property destroyed, and over 3,700 rioters arrested, many of them minors.

The western Paris suburb of Nanterre, where 17-year-old Nahel M. was killed by police, is one of many municipalities to call off their annual Bastille Day fireworks displays for fear of further unrest.

"We can't celebrate our national day because of hooligans, I believe things are much worse than people think," David Lisnard, the head of the French Mayors' Association (AMF) told broadcaster France Inter on Wednesday.

Lisnard, a member of the opposition conservative Republicans (LR) party, said the cancellations were "a sign of a very deep unease in French society".

President Emmanuel Macron will celebrate Bastille Day, which marks the fall of the Bastille prison in 1789, seen as igniting the French Revolution, with ally Indian President Narendra Modi at the traditional central Paris military parade under heavy security.

The two leaders are also set to watch the main Paris fireworks display at the Eiffel Tower, which has been maintained, after nightfall on Friday.

- 'Calm summer needed' -

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said Wednesday that an "exceptional" 45,000 police would be deployed on the nights of July 13 and 14 -- as many as at the height of the riots.

"What we're trying to avoid... is a resurgence of these violent episodes, through preventive measures as well as by an increased police presence on the streets," Darmanin told reporters.

Police would be "specially equipped and organised" to face urban violence and backed up by specialist units, helicopters, drones and armoured vehicles, he added, while 34,000 firefighters would be on duty.

Darmanin also said Wednesday that a march against police violence, planned for Saturday, would not be authorised.

This also went for "any demonstration with a direct link to the riots" until Saturday, he said.

Over 150,000 heavy-duty fireworks similar to those shot at police and buildings during the riots have been seized in recent days, Darmanin said, many of them imported from EU countries such as Spain and Poland.

The move to ban the sale of fireworks over the weekend was challenged by businesses selling them, who asked the State Council -- a court dealing with citizens' complaints against authorities -- to overturn the decision. A ruling is due by Thursday.

Buses and trams, meanwhile will stop running at 10:00 pm on both nights, he added, although metro lines and suburban trains are to continue until late.

Macron's office said Wednesday that he would not be making a televised address as planned on July 14, when he had hoped to sum up the achievements of a 100-day reset after the passage of a bitterly contested pension reform.

"If violence flares up again this summer, the effects will be very negative... he needs a calm summer to get back to reforms" from September, political scientist Bruno Cautres told AFP at the weekend.

- 'Loss of confidence' -

Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally and Macron's challenger in two presidential elections, slammed the decision by some towns to cancel July 14 festivities.

"Can you believe that in the great democracy of France, we are giving up on our national day because of the fear generated by potential violence or potential riots by some people?" she added, calling the move "an admission of a total loss of confidence in the state".

She used her remarks in Beauvais, a town north of Paris, to criticise the cost of rebuilding burned-out public buildings and to suggest that the rioters pay for the damage, even if it took "the rest of their lives."

Commenting on plans to fine underage rioters' families, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said on Sunday that the government would "evolve the law... if the existing legal framework is insufficient."

Prosecutors meanwhile said Wednesday that 12 people had been arrested in connection with an attack on a mayor's home near Paris during the riots, when a car was rammed into the house, causing a fire.

Seek Lord Ram's Forgiveness, Because…": PM Modi On Ayodhya Temple

Addressing the large gathering after the 'pran pratistha' rituals at the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said, "Our Ram has finally arrived." "I have come before you are witnessing the divine consciousness in the temple's sanctum sanctorum. There's so much to say but, but there's a lump in my throat. After unprecedented patience, innumerable sacrifices and penance, our Lord Ram has arrived. I congratulate the country on this occasion," the Prime Minister said.

Ram Lalla, he said, will "no longer live in a tent". Saying that this moment of consecration is a blessing from Lord Ram, he said January 22 is "not a date on a calendar, but the dawn of a new era".

Equating the consecration ceremony with breaking free of a mindset of slavery, he said it is a blessing that we are alive to witness this historic event. "Even after thousands of years, people will remember this date, moment. It is Ram's supreme blessings that we are witnessing it," he said. He also sought forgiveness from the deity and said there must have been some lapse because of which it took so long to reach this point.

Saying that "Ram's existence was questioned", the Prime Minister said, "In India's Constitution, in its first page, there's Lord Ram. I thank the Supreme Court for maintaining the dignity of law."

Some people, he said, had warned that the construction of the Ram Temple will light a fire. "Such people could not understand the purity of India's social consciousness. The construction of this temple of Ram Lalla is also a symbol of the Indian society's peace, patience and mutual harmony. We can see this has not given birth to a fire, but an energy," he said.

"Ram is not a fire, he is an energy. Ram is not a dispute, he is a solution. Ram is not just ours, he is everyone's," the Prime Minister said, adding, "Today, we did not just see the pran pratishtha of Ram Lalla's idol, but also the pran pratishtha of the unbreakable unity of India."

Laying down a vision for the country's development in the future, the Prime Minister said, "Ram's temple has been built. Now what? Every citizen's consciousness should extend from dev (god) to desh (country) and from Ram to rashtra (nation)."

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 23rd Dec. The debate on work-life balance has taken center stage after Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy’s recent advocacy for a 70-hour workweek and criticism of India’s transition to a five-day workweek. Congress MPs Karti Chidambaram and Gaurav Gogoi have voiced strong opposition, emphasizing the importance of efficiency and work-life balance over longer hours. Chidambaram, taking to X (formerly Twitter), criticized Murthy’s perspective, calling the idea of extended work hours “meaningless.” He highlighted the struggles of daily life, including inadequate infrastructure, and stressed the necessity of balancing work and personal life for a harmonious society. “Work-life balance is most important for good social order & harmony,” Chidambaram wrote.
