According to World Bank's latest report, India's extreme poverty has fallen from 27.6% to just under 2.6%.
And for Indians living under Rs. 400 a day (lower middle income), it has come down from 57.7% of the population to 16.1%.
Remarkable achievement by India given the rupee depreciated and the inflationary pressure of a fast growing economy.

Not even a single leftist account talks about Defense Procurement. The only people who talk about it are right wing folks who are super critical of the current state.

I am genuinely stunned that hardly anyone has shown any intent to protest against the flawed reservation system or even raise their voice against it.
Unfortunately, there’s no funding for such causes.
I am all for reservation based on financial need, to help people uplift themselves. But reservation for people living in bungalows? 🤦🏼♂️

Today is the 59th anniversary of Che being turned into a Good Communist.
Press S to spit on his grave.
This is not USA.
There was no need for universal suffrage protests in independent India.
Child marriage was unanimously opposed in independent India (just last week California passed a law banning child marriage. It is still legal in 32 states of the US).
There was always unanimous political consensus on girl ed in independent India.
When you try to copy all talking points from other countries you quickly become irrelevant in this one.
