Having been in office since 2014, Modi’s rule has catapulted India to greater prominence on the global stage. Many equate his policy agendas to robust economic growth, tackling corruption, and putting “India first.” On the other hand, Modi’s administration has been criticised for mishandling a growing discontent within the agricultural sector, instigating conflict between religious groups, and failing to revitalise the health and education sectors. Against the backdrop of ever-strong popularity among voters, it is imperative to discuss whether the BJP’s direction under Modi has been more polarising than unifying. The question then becomes: what (or who) is the right path for India as it surges ahead into the future?

The Oxford Union serves as a cathartic platform for British citizens, allowing individuals from former colonies like India to express their frustrations against colonialism and imperialism through curse words, enabling them to alleviate guilt and portray themselves as tolerant. However, the debates at the Oxford Union, while glamorous and elite, fail to address real-world issues or facilitate meaningful change.

Being a Hindu, I’m not against missionary conversions in India(esp in North east, Andhra, TN, Punjab, Kerala). I’m not insecure about my faith. Let people choose whom they want to follow. However my objection is against the global media which frequently, thro its documentaries, demonises Hindu image by deliberately using a footage of guy wearing tilak, Safron, chanting Jai shree ram etc in every video which has got no relevance whatsoever. They are trying too hard to show Hindus as radicals for muslims outside of India(without full context). India is plural, not bcuz of our constitution, but because of Hinduism. Hindus are tolerant. Hinduism doesn’t preach “My way or the high way” ideology. Hindus believe that all paths lead to God. Fun Fact: did you know Nehru chacha prohibited entry of Sadhus to Nagaland after independence! But allowed missionaries to flourish! So much for Nehru being “Paragon of secularism” xd

[@the_brown_guy]

Disclaimer: I am not supporter of any political party. I understand the divide between rich and poor is detrimental to society in the world, but the entire Ideology of Capitalism at its core has failed to acknowledge this issue across the world even today. Adding a very different outlook which is left behind is the amount of (corruption) money which India has lost around 86% Cash(mentioned by speaker) after demonetisation which if had been in the money system might have pointed that it has always been the 1% rich which held the 40% money but people never talked about it because corrupted money was never accounted for in a person's income around 15 years ago.(And the reason why I say this is because Indian Tax Payer base as well as Gross Income Tax has seen a sharp rise in the last 5-7 years.)

[@anujsethi7845]

How can you confidently attribute the increase in income tax to demonetization when demonetization itself was widely regarded as a failure, even without current discussions from the BJP? Do you have any data supporting the claim that income tax increased specifically due to demonetization? There are numerous factors contributing to the rise in income tax, such as increased incomes, the introduction of a 10% tax on the sale of long-term equity shares, adjustments to withholding tax brackets, the integration of GST turnover with income tax returns, and enhancements to systems like TIS and 26AS. Considering these factors, demonetization appears to have been an ill-conceived idea. One might wish for a more intellectually driven leadership to navigate through such challenges, especially during times of sluggish economic growth.

[@the_brown_guy]

​​@@anujsethi7845Feels like I need to make my point clear. What I wanted to point out was that since cash money which included black money(As Schneider estimates, using the dynamic multiple-indicators multiple-causes method and by currency demand method, the size of India's black money economy was between 23 and 26% of official GDP- data taken from Wikipedia) was never accounted for. So we never knew who held that money and it's an intelligent guess, that it was probably in the hands of top 1-2% but that was never accounted for in calculation of World Inequality Lab since it combine different data sources: national accounts, survey data, fiscal data, and wealth rankings (this doesn't include corruption money). My point has never been to create a link between demonetisation and More Tax Collection but it has been to state the point that Wealth has always been concentrated in india in hands of 1% even before BJP Government came to power which was thought not to be the issue in 2014 because most people thought wealth was distributed to the poor via welfare but in reality it never reached the people it was intended for despite best efforts by previous Congress Government. Now, I would borrow your information that the wealth and money was generated after devastating demonetisation which consequently lead to more tax collection from the sources that you mentioned. Henceforth leading to more money pumped to welfare programmes seem to be a better situation. And I agree with your point that he is not the best leader for India there has never been throughout history whether it was Jawahar Lal Nehru, Indira Gandhi or Narendra Modi. India need more, people need better governance, atleast that is something we can agree on. It's truly the future which can tell us what happened right and what was wrong.

It shows how corporate companies are forced to buy electoral bonds. If they don't buy, companies are raided by ED, CBI and IT. If they pay the extortion money (buying of electoral bonds), case is closed against such company. Another scam of Electoral bonds are by way of giving Govt Contracts to build roads, bridges, tunnels, manufacture, etc.

Secularism & Democracy are buzzwords in political corridors but in reality both sides joins hand together to milk this nation Bharat that was India,both side politicians are allies with big business houses,their are ample examples where high ranking officials joining business houses as advisors after retirement not always on merits.Both sides have their aligned media houses to fool people with their own narratives.Politics is just game of perception & not reality. It is fact that Muslims in this country are never integrated in mainstream vis a vis other minority communities due to self doubts,rigidity & fear of unknown & note my word this phenomenon is not limited to Indian but common in many multicultural societies across world where they are not in majority,also wave of salafism is pushing Muslims into far more rigidity,Many Muslims in india dropped aside their regional identity wrt their food,dressing,language under influence of salafism. True Rise in Hindu nationalism is not practically possible until old school generation trapped in nehruian romanticism goes out.People are more interested in who can delivers progress at this moment Modi seams to be winning perception battle due to lack other viable alternatives though it is common knowledge that votes can be bought through money.At the end money is not god but not lesser than god. The Hindu nationalism politics is reverse political strategy to caste identity politics & linguistic identity politics practiced by congress & its me too clones & religional allies.It is unfair to always believe that your rivals should follow rules that you have established during your time for sake of your own benefits.Opportunism is common among elected representatives at it is high in peoples from congress and its allies,moral of story is politics is business where you become super rich by helping poor & needy. Populist scheme like free food for poor has reduced availability of unskilled workers in sectors like agriculture & its burden on taxpayers should be immediately scrapped.Due to recent developments in artificial intelligence service based it industry may face major upheaval which is one of the biggest plus point of India in recent years,economy should be transformed into manufacturing based economy on war footing rather than service based industry,with huge population & domestic demand manufacturing industry can sustain without major export initially & it will create most needed jobs.What is happening under Modi is jobless economic growth to some extent. Modi should scrap Agnipath scheme it is major eyesore.
