They are developing one with Chinese assistance. Look up Colombo deep port city being built from a large reclamation. It is well planned and way bigger than Vizhinjam which does not even have a proper highway to it (most likely because Kerala activists have obtained some kind of stay) and...

Again this is the inconsistency problem i was pointing out. Two towns right next to each other have completely different living standards. It all depends on the local mukhiya and his team. There is no systematic implementation of anything in india at the local level. First get all the 700+...

the problem is there is no sustained development of urban infrastructure. Some cities do it here and there and in very non-standard ways with different building codes made worse by corruption and excessive bureaucracy at the municipality levels. Lack of quality town planners, money and just a no...

Muzzies in places like shastri park, karawal nagar, loni etc have turned the area into waste segregation and recycling. So you see garbage, mainly paper waste, all over. They literally make money by sorting garbage on open streets here for low amounts of money. They have no proper infrastructure...

True. We are getting into the habit of positioning cosmetic changes as pathbreaking for political popularity reasons. This practice has to stop as it will only promote laziness in PSUs all over again just like it has been in our history. Aesthetics inside rolling stock should be done by private...

This is the standard road in amreeka, china etc. but 90% of their urban roads are upto standards like this. Even a tier 1 city like Pune has someways to go.

Chinese cities were well planned even in the 70s. The main roads were made wide even though automobiles were banned for the peasants. This is a communist thing right out of the Soviet Union model where urban planning has always been good even if the countries were dirt poor. If you look at...

Lucknow mein gutka ka use na ki barabar hai ab. Idhar udhar tho ho jaata hai lekin paan thukna pehle se bahuth gat gaya hai. Varanasi mein bhi uthna nahi hai ab. Ayodhya mein tho thookna sakth mana hai - 5000 fine hai. Labor log tho kar hi dete hain par pakde jaane par bhaari pad saktha hai...

For the first time, I have seen any party spell out details of urban management. The need to administer cities in a very modern way with smart people that can do world class urban planning, redevelopment of dilapidated streets, buildings; long term infrastructure investments etc is something...

True. There is no option but to modernize and urbanize villagers. Like I said simply talking won't do. You need a bharatmala type program with a hundred billion dollars initial budget to bring our 7000 odd towns/cities to world class standards first. The question is when we will start doing...

I heard that gutka-paan woh kaathe hein, jinke pait mein chooha daudtha hai ya naashe ke bina labor kaam nahi ho patha. It is to hide hunger - not sure how true it is.

This is all started with the claims that India has the 2nd largest paved road network in the world. To me that sounded a fake claim as US and China have to be the first and second just because of the massive investments these two countries have made across their entire territories including all...

Yes I go to the US a lot. The road network in India despite all the progress is still pretty inferior in quality, drive experience, safety, wide connectivity, exit/entry from/to the highway etc. American highway and road network is amazing in general. They have top quality roads even in sparse...

If these are highways/expressways, no way we have the second largest network. US and China are already there at those spots. Both US and China have highway/expressway networks several times larger than us. We could be possibly 3rd. I think the US and China each have more than 1 lakh km of...

You do know that these are CCP paid propaganda videos? They have paid a bunch of cringy Indian YT to do so. They do this with white people as well. The whole CCP charade is very annoying with its low IQ propaganda. Only immature kids will fall for it. lol.

No point complaining. Our majority people have low human development and exposure to modern practices in other countries as very few people travel overseas. Transformation has to start at the village level and go upwards. But our villages are extremely backward in thinking and executing...

I doubt this second largest road network claim. Is this paved roads only or includes all dirt roads?

In India, private townships are the best. City governments will never get anything right. They don’t have the budget or urban planning professionals to get things done. Low property tax for appeasement and not raising enough money through bonds and other economic activities like convention etc...

i had no idea about this exploitation. Truly bad. They need to move to market based trade. What is the UN or African Union doing? South Africa takes Israel to ICC but not France for this exploitation? African leaders are crooks themselves and facilitate the exploitation just like with the slave...

We cannot go back to colonial times for everything. Are they paying nothing for the Uranium bought? Then the countries should stop selling Uranium to them. Why are they selling uranium at low prices? They could sell it to us for higher prices. But as of now they are mostly energy independent due...
