For how long we’ll keep looking at the past - talking about pre 2014, Nehru and Mahabharata. It’s time to live in the present and plan for the future. When our cities don’t have clean water, air and painful traffic- are we truly living in 2026?

Reservations perpetuate cast politics. For that very reason they should be abolished. Constitution needs to guarantee equality.

Problem with India is that leaders are busy marketing themselves and not executing on the ground. They setup task force, committees, AI mission, smart city initiative but don’t come back with results and KPIs. All projects have to be tracked.
