There are no nationwide laws against it. The National Crime Records Bureau started collecting data on human sacrifice and witch-hunting as motives for murder in 2013, but stopped within two years. Even in that period, thousands of such crimes were recorded. The full spread and growth of such superstition-based crimes is unclear, but anecdotal evidence and the frequency with which such cases are reported in local newspapers suggest that they are flourishing. Godmen, many of whom believe in black magic and practice superstitious rituals, are getting more organised and growing in public stature.

“We got an anti-superstition law in Maharashtra, full of loopholes, after eighteen years of struggle,” Ranjana Gavande told me. “How can we even expect a central law?” Gavande is a grassroots worker with the Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti, an organisation founded by Dabholkar, and has been an anti-superstition activist for twenty years. “Getting a central law is a distant dream,” she said. Karnataka passed an anti-superstition law of its own in 2017, but this too was a diluted version.

 We have already reduced tariff on many items, we have reportedly agreed to buy MIG-21 fighter jets which Elon Musk himself called as Junk, our Commerce Minister was in US for days with no result . Adani may be arrested if he lands in US for investigation which probably we are trying to stop.

Our people were sent back with chains which some countries refused to accept and sent their own planes to bring them back with honor as they were not criminals.

Newspapers say 3 lakh students working in USA are going to be sent back.

By remaining as a slave of USA India cannot gain.  We have the highest population. We have purchasing power . We got the technology for steel making from USSR when US refused.  Whey they refused to give cryogenic engine technology for our space mission we developed ourselves.

We had all along supported Palestine but now we are exporting arms, ammunitions and missiles to Israel through Adani and the genocide continues.

We claimed to bring end to Russia Ukaraine war.  Now it has become a joke.  We claimed to be the G21 leader which was a rotating chair for an year without any gains for the people of the country. To please USA, Jio of Ambani and  Airtel of Sunil Bharti Mittal have agreed to buy space technology for Internet from Elon Musk’s space link. This will be dangerous for our Defense.

We have already allowed Elon Musk to have his Tesla show rooms at Delhi and Mumbai in favourable terms to him when Tesla sales are going down in US and other countries

These are some of the non-tariff measures visibly seen already and what is happening secretly is not known to anyone of us.

 From Start-up Mahakumbh to Ministerial Meltdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT7dxUmep5g 
Moneylife  Apr 10, 2025 At the Startup Mahakumbh, Union Minister Piyush Goyal launched a scathing attack on Indian startups, criticizing their focus on food delivery and e-commerce over advanced tech like AI and semiconductors. But his remarks sparked a fierce backlash—from entrepreneurs, industry veterans like Mohandas Pai, and even supporters of the government.

Another X post on 31st March.. highlighted China’s systemic advantages: a more established eco-system, government-backed domestic venture capital providing greater stability, a deeper domestic footprint and layered support for innovation and larger global footprint. Mohandas Pai was even more direct, asking what Mr Goyal himself had done to support deep-tech innovation. He listed structural challenges: the ‘Angel Tax’, restrictions on institutional investments, Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) harsh treatment of foreign investors and alternative investment funds (AIFs) and the unfriendly stance of the finance ministry towards start-ups

 What Piyush Goyal got wrong about Indian startups  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXNcKrH4u0I   Goyal questioned their innovation, pointing out that many build on existing infrastructure – food delivery, ride-hailing, and edtech – without creating new technology. While his critique holds merit, it overlooks systemic issues: red tape, low R&D investment, and a lack of government support. .. Pooja Prasanna highlights the disparity in the Indian startup ecosystem as compared to China – massive public investment, fewer regulatory hurdles, and a culture that nurtures bold bets. In contrast, Indian startups face bureaucratic barriers, making risk-taking unviable. Critics like Mohandas Pai and founders argue that real innovation needs patient capital and policy support, not public shaming. Despite challenges, India’s deep-tech sector is growing, with 4,000 startups and rising investment.
