India has become the world's fourth-largest economy, which is a big achievement. However, this has not affected people much. There are several reasons for this. There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor. While industries like IT and finance help the economy grow, they do not create enough jobs for most people. Other factors, like a large number of unorganized workers and not enough social support, also make many people feel unhappy. Additionally, concerns about corruption add to this sense of unhappiness.

Is civil service any longer a matter of pride? If a chief minister can call the highest ranking civil servant to his official residence and surround him with “goondas” (the SC had used the term. Besides, our best legislation is Anti-Goonda Act!) and beat him and the judiciary smiling at the fun going on, is civil service left with the dignity of a “service” at all? Civil servants make sacrifices in public service that is best among all other wings, because they put their neck on the chopping block for a pittance called salary, suffer politicians and ire of the judiciary too.

Inclusion of Asaduddin Owaisi in one of the Indian delegations that is travelling abroad to brief countries about Operation Sindoor is not surprising. Owaisi has been most vocal in criticising the government on many issues including Waqf Amendment Bill. But he stood firmly with the government during Operation Sindoor and launched all-out attack on Pakistan after the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack. A section of people also believe that he is BJP's B-team since his party cuts Muslim votes, which ultimately benefits BJP. However, there can be differing opinions about the outspoken AIMIM chief.
