Neglect of minorities in SL is endemic. Muslims & Tamils weren’t part of the previous govt & not of the current one either. The consequences of ethnic tensions heating up in SL will be felt in Tamil Nadu too, we shouldn’t forget that 7/n
When the Modi govt slashed corporate tax rates in 2019, no one called it a freebie. Revenue loss caused by these corporate tax cuts was a whopping Rs 1.45 lakh crore. But when the poor and middle-class get a benefit, it becomes a freebie?? Trickle-down Elitism.
I'm with Josh on this thread. Honoring godly leaders is eminently biblical. And in a day when much dysfunction is being exposed (rightly so), we must be careful not to go too far, only focusing on the negative and thereby creating an environment of blanket suspicion of churches. https://t.co/VRMEeUFthB
When a big industrialist gets cheap land or loan writeoff, why is it not called a freebie? In fact these are mother of all freebies. No point in discussing legal definitions without recognising the morality

Rewriting my thread on #karmanyevaadhikaraste because it is important enough to get right The first few tweets are a simple introduction and you can skip those because it will be familiar to most Indians But the rest of the thread, the example applications, are the good stuff
Why are cash flows important while evaluating a company? When we read business media, 95% of the time, if not more, the numbers discussed about companies are sales, profits, margins, and growth in these numbers. 1/6
When India staged nuclear tests in Pokhran 1 under Prime Minister #IndiraGandhi in 1974, it was called Operation Smiling Buddha. You don't have to be a roaring lion to be strong & powerful. You just have to be quietly smart. Done like a woman.

India’s doing well on some measures, eg. the rise in GST collection & poorly on some, eg. the high youth employment. As soon as this is pointed out, trolls go shrill. This lack of self-confidence & failure to accept data is doing damage to India, once known for professionalism.

Generalize, don’t generalize—either way it’s your wisdom. But to generalize in some cases and isolate in others, that’s distilled hypocrisy.

Big companies only work on projects where they can calculate cost-benefit tradeoff. Hence they never pursue projects where either the cost or benefit is unknowable. This is where startups come in.

This is probably going to be sound like a broken tape recorder but for anyone still looking for data and research on the *causal impact* of BJP and the Hindutva ideology in promoting communal violence in India, here's a list of articles to consider:
Practice selfless self-promotion: - contribute freely to communities - amplify others' voices by exposing them to your audience - help people without asking for anything in return - be a great community nexus and connect people Be humble. Be present. Engage and empower.

Edtech was meant to serve the underserved. Khan Academy taught math to people who did not have access to good schools. Coursera and EdX gave a taste of Ivy league to all. Most Indian edtech is not that - it is a money grab at aspirants to elite government colleges and jobs. https://t.co/C3jzriuh0m

@gurdeepsappal We all need to introspect. It was after going through the worst communal violence in human history that we as a nation consiously tried to become secular. Unfortunately, the very same forces who led this carnage in 1947 are now the major force in a secular India.
I believe in the 70/20/10 model of learning: - 10% of learning from formal sessions - 20% from shadowing mentors& practitioners - 70% from actually doing the work If you have 100 hrs to learn a new thing, spend 10 on classes, 20 on watching the best do it and 70 on doing it.
This first reservation was the result of a wave of #socialreform across India after the 1860s, where visionaries championed causes such as the abolition of untouchability and child marriage. Their progressive views inspired the young Chhatrapati Shahu. 4/11
