You don’t fight with swords today because 200 years ago your ancestors won fighting with swords. It’s a changed world & a changed India. If you want to survive, “Adapt”
Indian Muslims are not acknowledging the bitter truth. Open your eyes. This is not the same India that we knew. If anyone is still selling old history & redundant Tehzeeb he’s misleading you & doing disservice. It’s better to get real & look ahead. Rules of the game have changed

Muslims of UP & MP are like the Chinese during the opium war. Lakhs of Muslims can come out for poetry and religious gatherings like Ijtema. But 10 people can\u2019t come out to protest Lynching https://t.co/iePNZELEhi

One way of fighting oppression & islamophobia is to take the battle to the other side & raise the cost for them. Let the Bohri & Shia clerics come out & declare their position on Rizwi, Naqvi & Poonawala. They can\u2019t have best of both by slandering Muslim sentiments & pay no cost

This day was inevitable. Indian Muslims always lived in La La Land. They bad mouthed real well wishers & slept with the enemy who never considered them as part of them. In Gulf, Indian Muslims were busy with Javed Akhtar & Sonu Nigam. Never interacted with South Asian diaspora

Ask: \u201cWhat needs to be true for you to be all in?\u201d
You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
