We are truly a banana republic now.
Going forward, you won’t be allowed to buy U.S stocks directly from India.
- RBI has proposed to abolish the LRS limit for Capital Account transfers, i.e from $250,000 to $0 under automatic route.
- Basically, this will kill the model of foreign investing or the ability to invest outside India.

What utter rubbish is this - I hope this is fake news of the type being circulated that RBI suggested LTCG cuts (even a policy novice would know, RBI has nothing to do with tax policy).
But one cannot put anything past this entity. A few days ago it slapped and bullied small forex earners with the horrendous new EDF paperwork - and now it is proposing curbs on foreign expenditure to preserve forex!
How about reducing frictions and enabling more small businesses to earn forex, @RBI? Or are you only capable of one retarded act after another?
Explained: RBI proposes Rs 50 lakh sub-limit under LRS to curb dollar outflows; business travel, pilgrimages included zeebiz.com/economy-infra/new…

I disagree with this whole thesis. Nifty is down 4.4% since Jan 1st 2025. That is hardly catastrophic when you consider that Nifty returned a 14.25% CAGR in the preceding 6 years. How much did the current market darlings return in that period?
To claim that a 4.4% DD over 1.75 years has destroyed careers and track records is borderline delusional. If you can't suck up a couple of years of sideways movement, buy some FDs.
If STT were made zero tonight, it wouldn't move the needle for *any* investor. The govt would just have less revenue. Taiwan has higher STT than India and has zero capital gains all this while. It has almost identical returns in 2020-24.

We're about to enter a period where not reading or writing becomes as ubiquitous as smoking once was. We can hope people will eventually realize this is bad for them, as they did with smoking. But this is far from certain; the cost may not be as obvious.

Mass employment strategy is all good but remember if it comes to export of services , competition is 8 billion people who can work from anywhere . Hardware , software product dev and manufacturing are tougher to replicate. .

Any reservation above 50% stops being a leg up / assistance for the underprivileged and starts becoming an attempt at institutional capture.

These are submissions of Bihar BJP government in Supreme Court.
Earlier they used to say that reservation is required as SC,ST,OBC representation is less. But their own data is showing that almost 70% of the government jobs are with SC,ST,OBCs.
But still BJP says, so what? Reservation should be increased by another 15% to make SC, ST, OBC representation at 85%.

Everyone wants water, but everyone wants to oppose dams.
Everyone wants electricity, but everyone wants to oppose power plants.
Everyone wants a dignified commute, but everyone wants to oppose car sheds.
Everyone wants the dollar to fall, but everyone is against mining of natural resources or manufacturing.
Everyone wants their home to be made of concrete, but everyone wants all construction to halt in cities.
Everyone wants to be rich, but everyone wants communism when they see the actual rich.
Everyone wants free speech, but everyone wants to be offended over someone's opinion.

It baffled me when I learned that many Russian female names sound Indian.
Anoushka (similar to अनुष्का/Anushka)
Tanya (similar to तानिया/Tania)
Sonya (similar to सोनिया/Sonia)
Misha (similar to मिशका/Mishka)
Alisa (similar to अलीशा/Alisha)
Nadya (similar to नाडिया/Nadia)
Anya (similar to अनन्या/Ananya)
Katya (similar to कव्य/Kavya)
There's no particular reason. The names mean completely different things. It's just that they are female sounding phonetically in Slavic and Indian languages.
