The history Bollywood won’t tell you:1. Around 1500 BC, the Aryans entered colonial India from the Khyber Pass and created the caste system; 2. At the end of the 6th century BC, the Persians defeated the Aryans and began to colonize India; 3. In 327 BC, the Macedonians Colonize India; 4. Beginning in the early 2nd century BC, Bactrian Greeks, Cypriots and Parthians invaded India; 5. In the 2nd century BC, the Yuezhi people who nomadically lived in the Hexi Corridor invaded India; 6. In the middle of the 1st century AD , the Kushan Xihou Tribe, one of the five Xihous of the Dayue clan, unified the five tribes and invaded India to establish the Kushan Empire; 7. In the 5th century AD, the descendants of the Central Asian Ser race and the Dayue clan of the Han Dynasty colonized India; 8 , from the 7th century AD, peoples dominated by Islamic culture began to invade India continuously; 9. In the 8th century AD, the Arab Empire occupied India; 10. In the 11th century AD, the Islamic Turks invaded India; 11. In 1526, the Mongols Colonized India and established the Mughal Empire; 12, the British...There is no India in the world, only colonies of the British Empire. India is the longest colonized region in the world, having been colonized for more than 2,800 years.Most Indians don’t even know where they are from when they look in the mirror.After the British left, they left behind beggars on the streets.

Loads of BS in economy survey. AI Impact: Low skilled low cost jobs will be saved. Because AI also has some cost. AI does not care if it is high skill or low skill jobs. If it is repetitive and has pattern, it will take it over. A low skilled transportation labor's job is more secure than high skilled financial analyst. Also, GDP numbers and metrics analysis will do no sh!t. It is about social psychology. Unclean unlivable cities bring spirits down. Dysfunctional local governance kills the energy. Shift from Babu style govt functioning to details driven emotionally intelligent governance. Both states and union govt - are incompetent in this aspect.
