Away from the negativity and hate, this thread aims to highlight the positive developments happening in Bharat.

Hope this will inspire all to contribute.
 
India’s first Vande Metro was launched this week and the Ministry of Railways has plans to extend the service to several cities across the country soon. Vande Metro, official called ‘Namo Bharat Rapid Rail’, is the newest form of rapid rail.

The first Vande Metro is operational between Bhuj and Ahmedabad which are around 350 km apart. So far, the fastest train between the two stations used to take at least six hours. This new train is covering the distance in less than six hours and costs about Rs 455 per passenger. This train has 12 coaches with a seating capacity for 1,150.

What's Bhoomi Poojan? Does it mean blessing?
Click to expand...

It is a Hindu ritual performed before starting the construction of a new building. It is the worship of the earth, seeking blessings from it.

The land itself is considered a living diety in our culture. Through this prayer we hope the earth will accept our presence over it and keep us protected and in its blessing.

Without this Hindus do not feel it is auspicious to build something over earth.

We all do it. It’s a great day actually. We invite our closest family members and friends.

I remember this for our new home vividly. Was a great day.

Why exactly are you hellbent on ramming India and BJP down the throats of Pakistani posters? Face it, they'll always consider us their enemy and they'll never, ever under any circumstances remotely like BJP.

BJP is a different story but saying that Pakistan will always consider India as enemy is a false narrative that you're using here.

There's more love and empathy towards most Indians and India from Pakistan and also those Pakistanis that live overseas.

Infact, India and Indians consider Pakistan as their enemy No.1 and that is shown most times even by those indians who live abroad.

Can't blame the Indians if a person no less than the PM of Pakistan once said that he would bleed India through a thousand cuts, and a former chief of the ISI once went on record saying that he would sink India.
 
Please refrain from making unrelated posts. The moderators cannot devote so much time to clean the threads dear all. Humble request.

Lol - Here we go...

How about the countless times Indians in positions of power have said the same and have been breeding hatred towards Pakistan since it's independence.

Also not to forget the mandatory hate movies being churned out year after year that gross $$$ because the narrative that has been selling there for decades that Pak is your enemy No.1 and we have to show bashing them in a few movies per year.

P.S: This is not another Pak v Ind thread so let's keep out any such things out.

As a Bengali-Punjabi, you have most likely heard the song "Gaddi Jaandi Ae Chalangaan Maardi." Today, I am bringing you a live demo of that very song. :kp :inti


 
How come there's no major theme parks in India - like say a local Disneyland or Universal ?
 
. No hate but this is bare miminum developments from a country of 1.6 billion. Always obsessed with comparison/gloating to Pakistan which is the main posters obsession here, while you wouldn't dare to do equal footing comparison to a country like China which is light years ahead of you with similar size and economical boost timeline. Wide spread poverty, hunger, hygiene, toilet, made on the top of recent global hunger index, so many social issues are still wide spread in india and on top of that India is quickly sliding towards extremism under Hindudva fanatic mindset. Progress is happeneing everywhere in the world at its own pace so gloating is pointless, there is a reason regardless of random projects many millions of Indians run to many Muslim and Western countries for bread and butter because their own Bharat isn't good enough for them. Before any project, why not take a project like atleast cleaning it up first and make it look like a hygienic place? Progress is good, but Indians are too obsessed with anything Indians when they can't even provide basics of human needs to their masses. Get your priorities straight.

Didn't mean to distract from the thread but the usual pointless gloating from bhaiyajaan is quite naive and so obvious, it's a usual for padosis as they are obsessed with their silly nationalism

Why are you so triggered to see positive developments in Bharat brother.

There’s more to life than murders, rapes, wars, harassments etc which is what we chose to celebrate here.

Crime, rapes or anti-muslim bias is everywhere too, yet there need to be daily Bharat bashing posts and threads about it every day. Fine, I am not complaining.

That's the Sanatani way brother. Rather than stooping down to the level of a bitter keyboard warrior, we will try to show the positives wherever we can. World needs this positivity. Peace and love. <3

Quite rich coming from a padosi as all you folks do is keyboard cries, talk filth about Pakistan and Muslims and cry all around about everyone else other than Israel all over social media. Every where we go we see filth posted by your santanatan gang. Topi drama kara lo padosio say.

There is nothing to be jealous over, I actually feel for the masses in India, get them out of poverty and hunger, these developments will come regardless as that's how world is moving forward, they are happeneing everywhere at their own pace. You weren't planning to stay in slumps forever right?

I see you are trying to live upto that profile picture, or probably desperately pushing a bad boy persona, I don't know. But I wouldn't engage with such a hateful individual any further. It's Ram Ram from my side. 👋

To be honest he’s as soft hearted from the inside as hard he tries to portray from the outside. I’m reality he’s a real sweetie pie Faisalabadi.

Again I am not the one hating and have never done that gladly. That is a common trend among our padosis, not among all obviously as I am sure there are many good Indians but it's very visible among you. You are the ones as a society drowning in hatred through your fascist government, media, social media and bollywood, the amount of anti-Muslim and Anti-Pak gibberish you have running in your society is all very visible. Gladly in Pakistan our government despite being corrupt none ever spreads poison for minorities, neither we make movies/drama depicting other religions as evil, neither our political parties use India and Hindus as common ground for votes, neither have a region like IOK torturing minorities for decades so yes there is a drastic difference. I don't want to further drag this thread into a different direction, so I will let it be

I don't know if you misjudged my intentions brother, yes I am a vocal Sanatani, but I am in this forum just for the joy of conversation. Sometimes it is brotherly, sometimes it gets a little spicy, but I can guarantee you that I hold no malice in my heart.

Yeah, because before 2014, expressways, highways, and metro systems didn’t exist. Heck, there weren’t even cars. We were all cruising around in bullock carts. But hey, Andhbhakhts gonna Andhbhakht, right? 😆 :inti

I will also have a humour story about congress highway expansion and development plan. From 1999 to 2004, vajpayee govt built 25 k kms highway s/road /expressways.Congress did it for 6500 kms till 2012/13.But congress was so corrupted they filed in court for 31.5 k kms expansion(including vajpayees govt effort).once everyone found out and ridiculed them,they made changes again.Again bjp is doing infrastructure development. Congress cares about votes and corruption nothing else.
 
@Bhaijaan excellent thread. Will add any news. I recommended ignoring known trolls here for your own sake. Just post good positive things happening in india, if known culprits tries to derail the thread ignore them. There are numerous others threads to bash India anyway, they can go there.

As of 2024, the top 5 countries with the largest foreign exchange (forex) reserves :


1. China – The country consistently holds the highest forex reserves, with over $3 trillion in reserves, largely due to its vast trade surplus and foreign investments.


2. Japan – Japan holds the second-largest reserves, generally exceeding $1.2 trillion, thanks to its export-oriented economy and foreign investments.


3. Switzerland – Known for its banking sector and financial services, Switzerland typically ranks third, with reserves around $900 billion.


4. India – India’s forex reserves have grown significantly, crossing the $600 billion mark, placing it among the top holders due to foreign investments and remittances.


5. Russia – Despite sanctions and economic challenges, Russia maintains a strong forex reserve position, with over $550 billion, as part of its economic stability policy.



6. Taiwan – Taiwan’s reserves are around $550 billion, supported by its strong electronics export sector and trade surplus.


7. Saudi Arabia – With over $450 billion in reserves, Saudi Arabia maintains large forex reserves due to its oil exports, which play a significant role in its economy.


8. Hong Kong – Hong Kong, a major financial hub, holds reserves around $430 billion, benefiting from its global financial integration and trade.


9. South Korea – South Korea’s forex reserves are typically over $400 billion, bolstered by its strong export-driven economy, particularly in electronics and automobiles.


10. Brazil – Brazil has around $350 billion in reserves, driven by its exports of commodities such as soybeans, iron ore, and oil.


The United States, despite having the world’s largest economy, does not rank among the top countries in terms of foreign exchange reserves. Its reserves typically hover around $200 billion, placing it well outside the top 10. This relatively lower reserve level is because the U.S. dollar is the world’s primary reserve currency, meaning other countries hold U.S. dollars as part of their forex reserves, reducing the need for the U.S. to hold large amounts of foreign currency.


Additionally, the U.S. economy relies on different mechanisms, such as the strength of its financial markets, global demand for its currency, and its ability to borrow cheaply, rather than building large forex reserves.

Good for the country but the tax structure needs a revision.

Need to bring more people under tax bracket rather than looting the helpless middle class.

Sorry but never gonna happen. The US Dollar is the defacto and it will be for the foreseeable future. No other country can come close to challenging the USD global dominance. Not China, EU and not certainly Russia.

Nothing happens overnight. The dollar strengthened its position after WW2 and it’s been close to a century of domination.

The most important point is that the dollar is also the reserve currency for the rest of the world which is a major flex for the USA. They don’t even keep a lot of forex reserve as everyone’s forex is in US dollar bills anyway. Those reserves are not backed by gold or anything of real value.

There has to be a start somewhere so that decades from now we can have a more fair situation for the ROW. BRICS is that beginning.
 
If every country had to transparently report its gold reserves, there would be a global panic.
 
Imagine watching Bharat vs Pakistan cricket match in the Sphere :heart: :afridi
 
Government is trying very hard for manufacturing FDI, it’s good to see but the issue is that at ground level India is still socialist, what happened at Samsung can happen across with help of outside forces.
There needs to be accountability along with transparency for manufacturing profits for India to get into that sector.

Maybe the manufacturing management can be made to read the works of Edward Demings and follow it extensively.

@Bhaijaan dollar share in swift settlement hit 12 year high.. So much for de-dollarization. You can see the one getting hit is euro, which is slowly losing ground and Dollar growing rapidly whole RMB also making gains

India, or any other country, will never reach the same heights of China in manufacturing. Autocratic government, good work ethics, cheap and abundant labor is China's advantage. They also grow in an environment where globalization and lax environmental regulations a was the norm. Now it is the opposite. Huge environmental regulations coupled with focus on newrshoring critical logistics chain is the driving force in the world now. You can see the investments in US due to CHIPS act which is topping $400 billion, Europe is pushing to have local supply chains. China is no more the number one import partner of USA whicb is crazyly diversifying it's supply chain. Although india will benefit a bit from it, none of the western countries will ever lock them up with one country like they did with China again

The development China got was once in a millinia opportunity which india missed due to its socialist setup. Have to grow slowly and diversify in the new world order

I agree with everything you are saying the issue is this and honestly this is something I have only been reading for past 2 years since Chips act and also cause I started working in IT of a manufacturing company, the manufacturing capability of the world is dependent upon Mass production, this was something developed by Americans during WW-2 after the great depression, after that Japan which it seems was ridiculed for poor quality up until 1950s revolutionised their manufacturing thanks to an American Edwards Deming , the quality control and management tutorials given to Japanese made them so good that they have an award in his honor- Sony esp gives him credit.

After that somehow miraculously, China along with Taiwan has achieved that too, the quality of manufacturing and being able to make products needed continuously. The only reason US is still in the game is because unlike Japan China still cannot design the way Silicon Valley can.
 
India reaches 6th position in services exports. Reaching top 3 by end of this decade is a realistic possibility although I don't think we will reach our goal of $1 trillion services export target

American design capabilities are unmatched. Having worked in some of the best tech firms in silicone Valley my take is that it will stay that way for a long time. America also has vast resources in terms land, power and continuous supply of skilled labor from all over the world. They have stakes in the best design firms not only in US but also just about everywhere elae in west. China can surely match it and may even surpass it for a short time, but eventually it will be back to USA once they pick up on local manufacturing. China or any other country can never attract the same kind of diversified skilled labor from all over the country. Demographics decline in China also means they will move more into services industry internally to support what is going to be the largest number of old people ever in the recorded history of the world and theh hate immigrants. Best of luck with that.

By the way India may face same fate by end of this century or beginning of the next. Thankfully there is still lot of time available to course correct for India and more importantly we all woild have been long gone by then. Whereas most of us will still be here to watch stagnation of China, similar to Japan
