A day late in catching up on a very interesting report by @pranjulb on two changes coming to India’s current account balance and hence possibly the rupee.
➡️ First, India’s data centre build out will likely widen the CAD initially as imports for the build out of these facilities rise. Chips / cooling infrastructure etc will all add to imports.
- While this CAD negative, it need not be rupee negative if: 1) the build out is financed by ECBs/FDI), 2) If it is a staggered build-out.
➡️ A second CAD change could come from the spate of FTAs India is signing. In the past trade agreements have widened India’s trade deficit. But the report says that if initial imports are more capital goods, they could be medium-term positive.
-One way to make these agreements “rupee friendly”, the report says, is to pursue FDI alongside.
Lots to think about! But great read, Pranjul!

A good day to remember that Modi has won the majority of elections through five economic crises/episodes in the last six years. Covid, supply-chain deadlock, the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump tariffs, and most recently, the Iran war. Criminally underrated. BJP also undersells.

We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.
Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds.
Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops.
The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.

BJP IT wing, you guys are absolutely terrible at promotion!
That man has achieved something Congress didnt in 68 years, and yet you guys haven’t even managed to make it a BIG deal? This deserves nationwide hype, massive publicity, and a full-blown campaign!

And in just 2 years, they have managed to bring down 2 centuries old structures instigating the worst riots.
Deep State has started attacking France as a rape capital of Europe. Very interesting they are doing it to a western country. They are fuelling protests and resentment in the public against the government. Too many media reports about sexual crimes in France are being aired constantly branding France the same way they have done against India. What do they want from France? Are they trying to weaken @EmmanuelMacron and destroy France's reputation as it is not toeing the US line as much as the rest of Europe?

Nothing says “foreign funded” louder than a protest in London, stuffed with Mirpuris bussed in by the Pakistani Embassy - who refuse to say “Bharat mata ki jai”

As expected for a yoga master. We asked Vidyut Jammwal, who plays Dhalsim in #StreetFighterMovie, to describe Dhalsim in 3 words.

Please protest within the compounds of your private property or designated protest sites. Thank you for your attention to the matter.

Businesses do not suffer because of peaceful protests. They suffer when the govt decides to shut down an entire city, suspend internet services and restrict the movement of its own citizens and turn the city into a war-zone.
Since its inception, the Cockroach Janta Party has maintained that we will always follow Gandhi’s path of peace and non-violence, and we have stood by that commitment. We have organised protests in Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bengaluru and Nagpur, and every single one of them has been peaceful. I was personally assaulted in Jaipur, but even then, I chose not to retaliate because responding to violence with violence goes against everything we believe in. We would rather exercise the rights guaranteed to us by the Constitution, drafted under the leadership of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, than resort to physical force. Our strength comes from our commitment to constitutional values, and no amount of provocation will make us abandon them.
Despite this, there are constant attempts to portray us as anarchists simply because we refuse to remain silent. But demanding answers from the govt is not anarchy, protesting against injustice on the streets is not anarchy, and questioning those who hold public office is certainly not anarchy. These are the most fundamental expressions of democracy. The very party that is in power today spent decades organising protests, taking to the streets and questioning the governments of the day when it was in opposition. Had the same restrictions, intimidation and police crackdowns been used against them, many of those who occupy positions of power today might never have reached where they are. It is deeply hypocritical to celebrate protests as a democratic right when you are in opposition and treat the same act as a threat to public order when you come to power.
We are not asking for privileges or special treatment. We are simply asking to exercise the rights that belong to every citizen of this Republic, irrespective of which party is in power. So let us fulfil our duty as citizens of this country by questioning those we elect, demanding accountability and speaking up whenever we witness injustice.
A govt that has been elected by the people is bound to listen to the people, not silence them. Democracy does not end once the votes have been counted.
