"Narendra Modi declared as the most popular world leader" (a short thread). Recently, an image started doing rounds where Modi was pronounced as the most popular world leader. Let me tell you how it happened. (1/n)

A car with a 12 month waiting period in the 80s ruled the Indian roads for over 3 decades

A thread on Ambassador cars 🧵

1/

1956, UK - Morris Motors manufactured and sold 3 variants of Morris Oxford car

It sold the rights and tooling for these cars to Hindustan Motors, a subsidiary of CK Birla group to manufacture and sell these cars in India

2/

1956 - Morris Oxford Series 1 model was branded as Hindustan 10, Series 2 as Landmaster and Series 3 model as the Ambassador

3/

Out of the 3 cars, Ambassador was the best both in terms of looks, space and ruggedness required for Indian roads. It cost around 14000 Rs in 1958 when the production started

It was positioned as the family car given the kind of space available for bigger Indian families

4/

At that time, there were not many indian automobile brands. Standard 10 and Mahindra's Jeep were the only major car brands available.

The government controlled production and was encouraging domestic production. This helped all these 3 players

Aryavart To Bharat, and Now India. Heritage of Rishis and Maharishis keeps falling down to a mere Landmass. Losing even our actual names and being called by the names given by those who destroyed us, is something beyond tolerance. Hence, ancient names call to be reclaimed.

UP Cheif Minister Sanyasi Yogi Adityanath Ji has appealed to rename Hyderabad back to Bhagyanagar. He is rightfully in saying so since Haidar has nothing to do with the city of Chalukyas. A city, called by the name of those who plundered it, is a clear insult to its heritage.

Islamic Invaders, Colonists and foreign powers renamed the Bhartiya cities, to boast their dominance. Every time we utter their names, we repeat in our minds, the fact of still being a slave. It's a subversion, which now has to be worked on.

This thread is a compilation of all such Cities. Those were named after Invaders & Foreign rulers. Which now should be changed. Every Hindu, need to know these names forced upon us along with their history, which has to be revived. For us to walk proudly holding our heads high.

Karnavati was ruled by Great Hindu Kings Like Karandev 1 and later Vaghela Dynasty in the 13th Century. Faced many invasions since the 14th Century. And was named Ahmedabad by Sultan Ahmed Shah in 1411 A.D.

Sources : A senior journalist with very good political connections, suddenly went out of job. He is a person capable of getting info from any political party over phone. He didn’t even call me. 1/n

I found this issue and called him. I asked him plainly, is he in search of a job.
At that time, @IndianPAC was recruiting furiously.

I spoke to a leader in DMK, who is very senior has some clout. 2/n

Do you know, what is the response of @IndianPAC ? They said, we don’t recruit, any one above 35. The reason they stated is, people above 35 years of age, don’t work hard.

The @IndianPAC thinks number crunching alone will elections. 3/n

People watching TN politics know very well that TN is a unique state. How would a Bihari Brahmin with prime ministerial ambitions be true to DMK, a party which flourished on anti-Brahminism.

Sources say, Prasanth Kishore, 4/n

around one year back, called all those who were active in anti CAA/NRC protests for a meet in Delhi and offered them money and asked them to work for 10 years, when a 3rd front will come to power. 4/n

What is the Gujarat Model of ‘development’? Thread.

1. Gujarat spends less than 2% of its income on education (the norm is 5-6%) with the result that 45% workers in Gujarat are illiterate or studied up to the fifth standard with the quality of education very poor. (The Wire)

2. Public expenditure on health is 0.8% of the state income, well below the norm of 4-6%. Gujarat is decelerating very fast in almost all health indicators.

3. Forty-five percent children in the state are undernourished and the decline of maternal mortality rate has decelerated.

4. Close to 93-94% workers are in informal and traditional sectors with low incomes and low social security.

One of the reasons it attracts businesses is because of the low wage rates, which are comparable to that of Uttar Pradesh.

5. The Gujarat government's cumulative public debt has shot up to an astronomical ₹2,40,651 crore in 2018-19 and estimated to rise to ₹2,66,990 crore in the current financial year, which is ₹62,000 crore more than the total budget of ₹2,04,815 crore.

6. During the Vibrant Gujarat investors’ summits held between 2003 and 2011, MoUs were signed pledging investment totalling ₹40 lakh crore. However, only 8 per cent of the promised investment, amounting to just ₹3 lakh crore actually came.
