"We laughed when miracle cures were launched with straight faces. From Coronil to bhabhi ji Papad. Because surely that was the limit of absurdity. It felt embarrassing, but we survived.
Then came the cough syrups that killed children, and the laughter stopped. That had to be rock bottom, we told ourselves. How much lower could incompetence sink?
Apparently lower. People began dying after drinking ordinary govt. supplied tap water. Not from some exotic toxin smuggled across borders, not from a rare disease, but from tap water. And even then, the country did not erupt, it adjusted. The benchmark of outrage shifted further down.
Now we happily consume chemical-laced, dung enriched spices, diluted and fake milk, synthetic ghee, counterfeit paneer, expired sweets specially stocked for festivals, fake medicines in real-looking packs, vegetables plumped with injections and polished by carcinogenic creams, chickens fattened on deadly overdose of antibiotics, eggs engineered for quantity, fries and burgers soaked in oil the colour of diesel. We know. We joke about it. We forward messages about it. And then we eat.
The tragedy is not just the contamination. Each criminal scandal lowers the bar a little more. We measure relief by the absence of immediate death. At least we didn’t die drinking tap water, we tell ourselves.
Criminal incompetence spreads like thick slow poison.
You wake up one day and realize you’re standing at the bottom of a bottom-less pit."

🇮🇳🇮🇱 From Savarkar to Golwalkar, why Hindutva admires Zionism
https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/from-savarkar-to-golwankar-why-hindutva-admires-zionism-9057486/
Affinities between Hindu nationalism and Zionism are rooted in the long history of Hindutva’s admiration of Zionist ethno-nationalism, possibly because both have found a common enemy in their country’s largest religious minority.
Hindu nationalists held a fascination with Jews and Zionism from day one as V D Savarkar expressed deep sympathy for a more comprehensive understanding of the Jewish race and underlined its appropriateness for the Hindutva ideology.
He was not only inspired by Zionism and praised illegal colonial settlement but strongly believed that Hindus and Jews shared a history of oppression at the hands of Muslims and both deserved redress.

🇮🇳🇮🇱The butcher of Gujarat, the besieger of Kashmir, is in Israel to meet the butcher of #Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.
Modi lands in Israel, and the deals being signed make it clear that this visit was never about diplomacy.
Israel has offered India full technology transfer for Iron Dome and IronBeam, not a sale but a transfer, including joint production, domestic manufacturing, and integration into India's multi-layered air defense grid. Around $8.6 billion in defense agreements are expected to be formalized before Modi's plane leaves Israeli airspace tomorrow.
Iron Beam is the part that should give you pause:
a 100-kilowatt laser weapon that destroys incoming drones and rockets at $2 per shot. Two dollars. By comparison, an Iron Dome interceptor costs $50,000 to $100,000 per missile. Iron Beam makes the economics of attrition warfare irrelevant.
Israel has never transferred this technology to anyone, not the United States, not the UK, not Germany. India is the first.
Now ask yourself why Israel is giving its most advanced defensive technology to the world's fifth-largest economy this week, of all weeks.
Because Netanyahu is not selling weapons, he is buying an alliance. The "hexagon" he described publicly, a coalition against what he called radical Sunni and Shiite axes, requires India to have skin in the game. India, with its low-pay IT and intelligence network, is expected to track Shia revolutionary activities in India, Pakistan, and the broader region, while penetrating Sunni schools in Kerala, Delhi, Lucknow, Kashmir and Deoband. India is already preparing a network of around 5,000 Sunni-Shia "traitor scholars" under the banner of "Rashtriya Ulama Sansad."
You do not hand over your most classified defense technology unless you want that country committed to your security architecture for decades.
The Iron Dome technology transfer makes India structurally dependent on Israeli defense integration. Maintenance, upgrades, software updates, and threat library sharing all create institutional ties that outlast any single government. This is not a transaction; it is a binding commitment disguised as a procurement.
And the timing is key.
Modi is addressing the Knesset at 4:30 PM while a 48-hour deadline expires on Iran. He is signing defense agreements while 11 F-22s sit on Israeli tarmac. He is formalizing a security partnership while Turkey plans border incursions and China sells Iran supersonic anti-ship missiles.
Netanyahu is assembling his coalition before the action, not after. Every alliance signed before the first bomb falls becomes a diplomatic asset that cannot be retracted once the operation begins.
India cannot condemn an Israeli military action 48 hours after its Prime Minister stood in the Knesset endorsing the security partnership that enables it.
Modi did not travel to Israel despite the crisis, the crisis is exactly why the invitation was sent.
We have to focus on this and take the threat of this very dangerous alliance seriously.

India is perhaps the only democracy in the world where a majority of voters seek accountability from the Leader of the Opposition, mock him, and ignore the valid issues he raises in Parliament that actually affect their daily lives.
At the same time, they give their Prime Minister a free pass, demand no accountability from him, turn him into a godlike figure, and somehow think it’s admirable to remain spectacularly ignorant while mistaking religious bigotry for the highest form of patriotism.
