PM Modi, Biren Singh's 1st Face-To-Face Meeting On Manipur Violence- Grapevine

I am in shock that the Canadian PM, in the Canadian Parliament no less has alleged that India has eliminated a khalistani on Canadian soil. 
I still remember the days, when the single greatest attack on the soul of the country took place in Mumbai on 26/11, all we could do was establish backchannel diplomacy with the likes of the US to get Pakistan to 'calm down'. Not a single bullet was fired in return in a nation that perceived our weak national security as par for the course, getting the Congress led UPA that presided over this moment of unparalleled humiliation, a thumping verdict in 2009. That was an India where we would lament the lack of credible retaliation options including Covert Ops. It was often stated that IK Gujral rolled back R&AW operations outside the country as an excuse for our lack. Although, no action was taken to initiate the operations again. NONE. But excuses were ready should failures occur again.

That India of my childhood, seems like a distant past. When URI and Balakot happened, we crossed the LoC and launched Spl Ops to impose rising costs upon Pakistani aggression. Khalistani or old thoroughbred battle hardened Islamic Jihad commanders in Pakistan or PoK are being neutralized, further raising costs to threatening Indian interests. 

This is not the India I grew up in. 2004-14, when we ought to have taken off, came a pauper after the initial global liquidity fuelled growth from 04-07. Congress went on a far left loony socialistic binge, with massive amounts of debt given to Crony Industrialist friends leading to an NPA crisis which led to Private investment paralysis, plummeting growth further, and inflation hitting the skies. 

But now, we are poised for a decade or two of rapid, high quality, solid economic growth. All of these factors combine to bolster our Gross National Power like never before. 

We were supposed to be poor, timid and helpless. We pursued sympathy over strength. But I guess, this is no longer the India we knew of.

I have seen most of my friends and people are in tech always oppose the current Government. 

I agree, that current government is not great. But at same time, supporting parties like Congress doesn’t makes sense.

Genuinely curious why people think current government is not doing good? I have seen road & rail infrastructure getting improved, defence budget being increased, government making investments in R&D, privatisation of government sectors, making existing processes efficient, and much more.

Even the farm bills were good, now what is happening all the middlemen are making money.

Communal riots have increased, but I don’t think the government is responsible, it’s people who ignite these riots.

At last, why you think current government is not doing good?

Why people in tech hate BJP?

Trump to Meet Indian PM Modi Amid Trade Criticism

I have been having some crazy discussions on this platform about the current political scenario  of our country right now. 
And this post by Dr. Anand Ranganathan pretty much summaries everything I had to say.
There is no doubt that both the sides are using religion and caste heavily but this is not new to me. It has been happening for 75 years.

Both the parties have not shown much promise in the development of our country. Pretty much standard stuff.

But the deal breaker for me in case of religious or caste based promise is that one party (BJP) just says it to win votes and the other party (Congress) actually has decided to implement divisive laws.
