Elections' time!!

-

 Let's talk politics!!

आओ विवाद करे

(Either don't read, or read till end.)

Elections are around the corner, We could argue that Democracy khatre me h but we know who's gonna win, but why?

1. Vision - What's the vision of Congress? It's NYAY for the general public - they are fighting inflation, Adani, unemployment etc. But as they have also been in power for long enough, Indians know what their alliance are up to by winning the election.

BJP - They have targeted the patriotism in Indians, by setting a target to make India a developed nation by 2047. From gamers to social media influencers, they are fencing them all in their campaigning.

2. Leadership - Congress - I have not met a single person to date who agrees with Congress's leaders becoming PM (Recommended video "The End of Congress Party" by Dhruv Rathee)

BJP - BJP has a list of many of them for the future even.

3. Resources (other than money) - Congress has limited resources like historical connections, root level reach, etc. BJP has a lot more resources like ED, CBI, and nearly all Media channels in the country - not letting negative news spread around them like we had seen recently in Ladakh's Climate Fest.

4. Model-State - Congress has been ruling a number of states in the last ten years, they had a chance to develop atleast 1 state and present it to the public of India similar to what BJP does with Gujrat and UP. Irony is, on one hand INC criticize Adani and on the other hand they sign MoU with him by their state govt.

5. Reading the mind of the nation - Indian population which is majorly young wants some kick, yes that damn dopamine comes again. They get it when FM S.Jaishankar gives a befitting reply at an international forum, when they see huge infra being built, and international-level trains being run, etc (They don't see deteriorating relations of India with its neighbors, they don't see the whole railway system suffering because of a few new trains)

Indian youth is attracted more towards fancy things.

6. Soft Power - Whoever is powerful has the advantage to impose their thoughts on others "softly", the "Soft Power". 

Rec. video - "Why Indian youth is becoming religious?" by Open Letter

7. Poaching of Politicians - Many of the established leaders and scamsters even have changed their sides, what for? IYKYK.

Recommended Video on Why politicians' play dirty? - "एक वोट की खातिर कितना लुटे हम" by Acharya Prashant.

8. Prospects of Future Cabinet - We have seen some incredible work being done by some of the cabinet ministers. If the opposition alliance comes to power, the respective alliance members will ask for their share in the cabinet leading to those dirty power battles.

What's the conclusion?

Keep questioning is what least we can do. Don't let the government do whatever they want.

More important today is criticizing the opposition as well, as they are failing in their role.

(This post is based on my naive opinion, you can ignore it if it doesn't align with your opinions)

IPO Frenzy: A Hidden Leading Indicator?

-

 An IPO boom is seen as market's positive sentiment. News outlets and influencers flood us with stories of high listing gains from IPOs. We often confuse it with the whole market going green forward. But data tells a different story: 1. IPOs squeeze liquidity from market - Listings, either primary or secondary, put money in the hands of company for expansion or the shareholders; leading to a cash outflow from the secondary market. 2. Correlation - I analyzed the last 18 years (2007-2024) of Nifty 50 returns against the annual number of IPOs and amount of Capital Raised. The statistical correlation between them: Nifty 50 returns against the annual number of IPOs +0.12 Nifty 50 returns against the Amount of Capital Raised +0.09 A correlation of +0.12 and +0.09 indicates a very weak positive relationship. In simple terms, knowing the Nifty's return for a year gives you almost no ability to predict the number of IPOs. But this gets interesting when we try to predict the Nifty's...

Middle East Crisis - Oil or something else?

-

Next time you hear about conflicts or gas pipe shutdowns in the middle east, remember, it’s not just about your car or electricity bill — it’s about the food on your plate, and millions of Indian farmers. Whenever we talk about tensions in the Middle East, everyone immediately jumps to oil and logistical disturbances. But here's the twist — it's fertilizers that we need to start worrying about. And for India, it's a big deal. Here's how it connects The Middle East isn't just about oil; it’s also a fertilizer powerhouse, especially for nitrogen-based fertilizers like urea (made from natural gas). Now with conflicts disrupting natural gas supply (especially after recent tensions involving Israel, Iran, and Egypt), fertilizer plants in the Middle East have shut down. That’s squeezed the global supply — and prices are already rising. (Refer Image) We are the second-highest fertilizer consumer in the world. And for some more than half of it is imported. For some types —...

TikTok, Trump, and the World’s Weirdest Love Triangle

A national weapon. A national threat. A political strategy. The Tiktok-Trump saga is an epic case of how a naive start-up became the epitome of geo-political tug-of-war between world's 2 biggest powers. That start-up marked a turning point in how we consume content globally. ByteDance (parent of Tiktok) founded in 2012, launched a short video app - "Douyin" for Chinese market in 2016. The app named as TikTok for international market was launched in 2017. In 2018, it was among the most downloaded app. The growth was immense, establishing it among the top social media platforms. Here are some key stats that frame the power of social media in today’s world: - 5.24 billion people (63.9% of the global population) currently use social media worldwide, up more than double from 2.07 billion in 2015 - The average social media user engages with an average of 6.83 various social media platforms - Globally, the average time a person spends on social media a day is 2 hours 21 minutes ...
