Why is there chaos in France and other European countries?

Why France is protesting: The reasons and background include the following:

1. Debt stands at 119% of GDP, similar to Greece’s level during the 2009 crisis.

2. Deficit spending is nearly 6% of GDP, higher than Italy’s during the 2011 crisis.

3. The poverty rate has reached a record 15.4%.

4. Inflation has persisted, worsened by the war in Ukraine, and is now accelerating because of the war in Iran.

5. Interest rates have surged because of the war in Iran, and France now pays more than Greece.

6. Public assets are being privatized.

7. Public services and infrastructure are crumbling.

8. Public schools are in poor condition and lack teachers.

9. Corruption, cronyism, and self-dealing among elites.

10. Special tax arrangements benefit elites and megacorporations that invest abroad.

11. Living costs are rising while wages remain low and stagnant (median: €2k).

12. The loss of African territories and exploitation schemes.

13. Police brutality and the repression of protests.

14. Comedians and journalists are censored.

The contributing factors are as follows:

1. Quality of life in France is deteriorating as elites loot the country and become increasingly overtly corrupt and repressive, while the public becomes more aware of how dire the situation is.

2. Macron’s disapproval rate is now 82%.

3. The wars in Ukraine and Iran are the last straws, driving up both inflation and interest rates on debt.

4. Europe simply cannot survive two wars.

Rail transportation progress in China and India: A Comparison Note

About 18 years ago, California voted to build a high‑speed rail line connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles. To this day, not a single section of track has been laid for the project. Because the oil/gas and auto industries attempt to destroy anything that might cut into their profits. Especially public transportation and any other form of energy production.

Also, 18 years ago, China launched its first high‑speed railway. Today, China has built more than 50,000 kilometres of high‑speed rail, accounting for over 70% of the world’s total mileage.

China delivers results, while the US is stuck in bickering. The problem is the laws and the social contract, not an evil industry in the US.

In 2013, China’s national average of annual PM2.5 air quality concentration stood at 89.5 μg/m³. By 2025, it had dropped to 27 μg/m³.

China is a nation governed by engineers who build things, and America is a nation governed by lawyers who impede progress.

 

Critics of the govt are intellectual naxals

The non-biological superhuman will himself make reels on Instagram and will constantly spread lies on social media, but he is so afraid of youths' reels on social media? The government is misusing the IT Act 66. 

1. A post disappears from social media every 68 seconds. 

2. 1275 posts are being deleted from social media every day. 

3. From March 2026 to July 2026, 1.95 lakh posts are disappearing from social media.

This means that citizens, especially those who criticize the central government, are mental Naxals in the eyes of the great man. Now, citizens are being prevented from criticizing the government and Mahamanav Vishwaguru on social media.

55 years of the Indo-Soviet Treaty

55 years have passed since the treaty was signed. It reshaped India-Russia ties.

On August 9, 1971, India and the Soviet Union signed the Treaty of Peace, Friendship, and Cooperation (TPFC), giving New Delhi crucial diplomatic backing at one of the most decisive moments in South Asian history.

1. That agreement laid the foundation for a relationship that has grown far beyond politics.

2. Today it stands as a Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership (SPSP) between the two countries—spanning defense, energy, space, trade, and emerging technologies.

3. What began with MiG-21 fighters that transformed the Indian Air Force has evolved into joint mastery:

4. The military partnership remains one of its most visible pillars, from MiG-21 fighters to BrahMos missiles, Su-30MKIs, T-90 tanks, S-400 systems, AK-203 rifles, and INS Vikramaditya.

55 years later, the pact that helped shape modern India-Russia relations still echoes strongly through one of their most enduring strategic partnerships.

NRI Prof. C. Ramakrishna Rao won the Nobel Prize in Statistics at the age of 102.

Truly an inspirational story: 

C. Radhakrishna Rao retired at the age of 60 and moved to the United States to live with his daughter and grandchildren.

There, at the age of 62, he became a professor of statistics at the University of Pittsburgh, and at 70, he became a department head at the University of Pennsylvania.

He obtained American citizenship at the age of 75.

At the age of 82, he received the National Medal of Science and an honour at the White House. Today, at the age of 102, he has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Statistics.

The Government of India had previously honoured him with the Padma Bhushan (1968) and the Padma Vibhushan (2001). Rao says, "In India, no one cares about you after retirement. Even colleagues respect power rather than scholarship."

Receiving the Nobel Prize at the age of 102 while enjoying excellent health is perhaps a unique instance. It is an event we should always remember. Retirement does not mean becoming inactive. Life is about living with full enthusiasm until one's very last breath.

Truly a learning lesson.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos versus the NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani

Jeff Bezos thinks he's smart; Zohran Mamdani actually is smart.

One day after Jeff Bezos criticised New York’s school spending, Zohran Mamdani announced the city had recovered $9 million in unpaid fines from Amazon delivery trucks. 

Jeff believes he worked hard to earn his wealth, which shows just how delusional Jeff is.

Bezos donated $1m to Trump's campaign. Trump imposed tariffs, which the American citizens paid. Trump refunded tariffs—$600m to Bezos' Amazon. Bezos is currently quite wealthy and can easily afford the $9 million fines. Good on Mamdani for clawing back some of the people's money.

China is ahead of the United States of America in the infrastructure and technological development.

प्रतिष्ठित वुहान रेलवे स्टेशन चीन के बुनियादी ढांचे और तकनीकी प्रगति को प्रदर्शित करता है। इसमें देश का पहला स्टेशन है जहाँ उच्च गति वाली ट्रेनें सीधे मुख्य प्रतीक्षा क्षेत्र के नीचे चलती हैं। फुक्सिंग और हेक्सी बुलेट ट्रेनों की पंक्तियाँ प्रस्थान के लिए तैयार हैं, जो चीन की उन्नत रेलवे प्रणाली का प्रतीक हैं। "चीन चीन में निवेश कर रहा है" और आंतरिक निवेश पर जोर देता है। इसके विपरीत, the U.S. और भारत की रिपब्लिकन पार्टी और भारतीय जनता पार्टी अपने-अपने देशों को "लूट" रहे हैं।

 चीन ने 2025 में अपने व्यापार अधिशेष से एक ट्रिलियन डॉलर बचाए और इस राशि को अपने नागरिकों के कल्याण में निवेश किया। यह बताता है कि U.S. ने 9/11 के बाद से युद्धों पर $9 ट्रिलियन और पिछले तीन महीनों में ईरान पर बमबारी में $40 बिलियन खर्च किए हैं। संदेश इस बात पर प्रकाश डालता है कि चीन बुनियादी ढांचे और प्रौद्योगिकी में भारत और U.S.से बहुत आगे है, जो क्रमशः "प्रकाश वर्ष" और "एक सदी" आगे है।

The iconic Wuhan railway station showcases China's infrastructure and technological advancements. It has the first station in the country where high-speed trains run directly under the main waiting area. Rows of Fuxing and Hexi bullet trains are ready for departure, symbolizing China's advanced railway system.

The phrase "China is investing in China" emphasizes inward investment. On the contrary, the text criticises the U.S. and India, claiming that the Republican Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party are "looting" their respective countries. China saved a trillion dollars from its trade surplus in 2025 and invested this amount in the welfare of its citizens. It says the U.S. has spent $9 trillion on wars since 9/11 and $40 billion bombing Iran in the past three months. The message highlights that China is far ahead of India and the U.S. in infrastructure and technology, which are "light years" and "a century" ahead, respectively.
