Looks like Revolution 2020 is coming after all.

Investor sentiment. Ease of doing business. Growth mindset. Entrepreneurial spirit. Business confidence. Job creation India’s global image The economy Vikaas What’s happening to all this today? Worth it?

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत। अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥ परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् । धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥

Govt in denial. Detaining people backfires. Ask Congress, they tried it with Anna Hazare and @ArvindKejriwal Ask them how that went.

Why is an law like CAA, technically meant for foreigners affecting Indians so much? Cause another law called NRC is coming, which essentially assumes all Indians are foreigners unless they can prove otherwise. This needs to be fixed.

CAA is a life jacket. NRC is everyone being pushed out of the plane as they have to prove themselves all over again. But Muslims don’t get the life jacket. Distributing life jackets is not the problem. Giving them only to a few and pushing everyone off the plane is.

CAA by itself not the issue. But CAA+NRC is discriminatory. This could happen. NRC: All prove again u r Indian Non-Muslim: sir I don’t have documents Govt: it’s ok. CAA will save you. U are indian. Muslim: sir I don’t have documents Govt: too bad.U are not indian.Get out.

Said this just 2 days ago. It's true. Impact wise, one good protest in Delhi = 30 protests in all other states.https://twitter.com/chetan_bhagat/status/1205477601667452930 …

Those who fantasize about India with a Hindu king and his subservient subjects, remember this. Even if I dignified your bigotry (I don’t), you can't wish 200mn Muslims away. Try that and India will burn,GDP will crash and your kids will be unsafe and jobless.Stop these fantasies!

Demo GST 370 CAB Post-announcement issues in all. Suggests there is an army of yes-men in the govt who nod at everything, do not think things through or raise genuine doubts. Maybe think about the decision making process.

Whatever their historical names, there are no Hindu or Muslim universities in India. They are all Indian universities. And they all must be protected.

Many get confused about my politics here. To be clear am only interested in an India where everybody lives in harmony and we have stellar economic growth. That is my dream. One-sided groupings bore me. I am not on your fixed side. I am on India’s side. And am proud of that.

Crashing the economy. Making jobs vanish. Shutting down Internet. Sending police in libraries. The youth may have patience, but don’t test the limits of it.

The youth is angry. There are not enough jobs. Salaries are low. Don’t mess with them. The first priority should be to lift the economy back again.

The CAB required more education, more consensus building, a lot better wording and frankly better intentions. Stirring the social pot constantly is going to hurt us and the already weak economy.

Repeated and prolonged Internet shutdowns hurt business and the economy. Sends a message that we are an unpredictable, third-world country where things are not under control. Even non-democratic China never did it during Hong Kong protests.

Lagta hai Delhi mein elections aane wale hain.

People opposing CAB are those who want to include nobody and those who want to include everybody.

Pollution or protest, it has to reach Delhi, else it doesn’t seem to matter.

Kashmir matters. Assam matters. Tripura matters.
