Adani Group: How The World’s 3rd Richest Man Is Pulling The Largest Con In Corporate History Published on  January 24, 2023 Courtesy .  Source  : https://hindenburgresearch.com/adani/ Today we reveal the findings of our 2-year investigation, presenting evidence that the INR 17.8 trillion (U.S. $218 billion) Indian conglomerate Adani Group has engaged in a brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the course of decades. Gautam Adani, Founder and Chairman of the Adani Group, has amassed a net worth of roughly $120 billion, adding over $100 billion in the past 3 years largely through stock price appreciation in the group’s 7 key listed companies, which have spiked an average of 819% in that period.

India was never meant to be a union of linguistic states, but a union of well governed and managed states. The experience of small states has been uniformly good.

Will CHATGPTl Kill GOOGLE?

 Here is a chat excerpt posted in a group . Google is dead ! I tried ChatGPT.   It is good.    Sunder Pichai has gone crazy because of it.   He has stopped several projects and having brainstorming sessions. Chatgpt will kill Google in just few months  Infosys is an investor in Chatgpt company.  They did some offshore work for it.   The brain behind it is a 37 year old Jewish guy. Google will not survive Chatgpt unless they clone the solution. ChatGpT will be very very dangerous to fascists. I asked it some questions and it gave very very liberal answers. It is going to be a liberal world because people will accept chatgpts answers  Bjp will start opposing chatgpt .I made my own simple game with rules and chatgpt played as per my rules. Chatgpt has the potential to become companion to many people.  It is just like talking to a person. Google is dead !  Unless they do something fast.

Andhra and Telangana: The Trial Marriage that Failed.

MOHAN GURUSWAMY: Andhra and Telangana: The Trial Marriage that Failed.   On January 3 this year, A Sridhar Reddy, founder of the Sampoorna Telangana Praja Samithi in 1969, the organisation that spearheaded the movement for a separate Telangana died. Sridhar Reddy was the President of the Osmania University Arts College, and literally began that movement in the Arts College cafeteria where he used to hold court. The Arts College used to be the political nerve centre in Hyderabad. As the idea began to catch fire, out of work politicians like Dr. Marri Channa Reddy latched on to the idea and soon stole the ground from Sridhar Reddy. Sridhar Reddy, who was a friend, was always afraid that the movement will be betrayed no sooner the dissident Congressmen were accommodated. He was right.   The 1971 War with Pakistan leading to the liberation of Bangladesh, gave all the Telangana Congressmen a good enough reason to hitch their stars to Indira Gandhi’s bullock cart. Telangana was forg...

India: Land reforms and human development

📌 *Land reforms and human development * Excerpt from article   https://www.fortuneindia.com/budget-2023/budget-2023-what-gives-china-immunity-from-extreme-poverty-but-not-india/110924 To start from the beginning, the massive transformation of China since 1980, it says, could be possible as it “inherited” equitable distribution of land among its rural peasantry – beginning in 1949 (the year of the communist revolution) when “more than 300 million landless peasants gained access to land”; then in 1953 their land was transferred to “the commune” and “with the 1978 reform, the land was again distributed to each household equally”. Commenting on this, agricultural scientists Shenggen Fan and Ashok Gulati wrote in their 2008 paper “The Dragon and the Elephant: Learning from Agricultural and Rural Reforms in China and India”, that land reform ensured that in China “landlessness is virtually absent”. *In India, the opposite happened*. It tried land reforms in the 1950s and 1960s, but it f...
