By The Sensible Arya The Government of India recently notified the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules under the DPDP Act, 2023 . On the surface, this may sound like a progressive move — a step towards privacy, digital empowerment, and data sovereignty. But dig deeper, and you’ll realize: This law isn’t made to protect you. It’s designed to protect the corrupt. It’s a shield for politicians, babus, billionaires — and a sword against journalists, whistleblowers, and citizens who dare to speak the truth.  What This Law Claims To Be The official narrative:  "The DPDP Act empowers citizens to control their personal data. It’s a digital shield against corporate and state overreach." Sounds noble, right? But what they don’t tell you is: ● There is no proper safeguard for journalists or public interest disclosures. ● The government has granted itself sweeping exemptions from the same privacy standards it imposes on others. ● The law can be used to criminalize truth-tell...

By The Sensible Arya Marriage, divorce, and family laws are supposed to protect people — not destroy lives. But in India, a vast number of middle-class families have been torn apart not by failed marriages, but by the cruel, corrupt, and lawyer-driven justice system that turns emotional pain into a financial and legal nightmare. In contrast, China has quietly and effectively built a system that avoids drama, discourages exploitation, and delivers fast, fair outcomes in marital disputes. The contrast is stark. While India fuels a divorce industry , China shuts it down before it even begins. India’s Divorce Mafia: A System Built on Suffering In India, once a marriage begins to fall apart, the real horror starts — not between the couple, but between the couple and the courts . A powerful nexus of advocates, corrupt judges, NGO-backed feminists, police, and even some counselors feeds on divorcing couples. Instead of helping them separate peacefully, this ecosystem ensures: ● The process...

By The Sensible Arya Date: July 15, 2025 What if choosing to have fewer children was actually the most revolutionary act against exploitation — and the capitalist elite knew it? We often hear that population growth is "essential" for progress. That fewer people would mean collapse. That raising questions about sustainability is somehow "anti-poor" or even "evil." But behind this noise lies a deeper, uncomfortable truth: the world’s wealthiest and most powerful benefit the most from an overpopulated planet . And that’s exactly why they don’t want us to even talk about reducing it — voluntarily or otherwise. 💥 A Lesson From History: The Black Death and the Rise of the Commoner In the mid-1300s, Europe was hit by the Black Death , a tragic bubonic plague that killed up to 60% of the population . The scale of human suffering was unimaginable — entire towns vanished, families were torn apart, and chaos reigned. But in the decades that followed, som...

 In 2014, when the Modi government came to power, it brought with it a powerful vision — Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India). One of the most crucial areas it aimed to reform was the defence sector. For decades, India had been importing 60–70% of its weapons — from fighter jets to rifles — while our own factories sat underfunded and underutilized. To fix this, the government opened the sector to private players and increased the FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) limit in defence. But instead of building true self-reliance, this move has created a new kind of dependency — not on imports, but on foreign-controlled joint ventures operating within India. Let’s break it down. FDI Limits Before & After 2014 Year FDI Limit in Defence Route Before 2014 :  26%  2014 (Modi Govt) : 49%  2020 ( so called Atmanirbhar push) : 74% and upto 100 percent after government approval  So now, foreign companies can own up to 74% automatically , and even 100% with a nod from the ...

There’s a quiet revolution happening in India’s healthcare sector. But it’s not being led by doctors or public health experts—it’s being led by private equity firms. These secretive financial giants are swallowing up hospitals, consolidating medical networks, and shifting the very ethos of healthcare from care to profit. If you’ve seen headlines like “Temasek buys stake in Manipal Hospitals” or “Blackstone acquires majority in CARE Hospitals” and wondered what that really means, you’re not alone. Behind the financial jargon lies a far deeper—and more dangerous—story. Let’s break down what private equity really is, how it operates, its growing hold over Indian hospitals, and why its global track record should scare the hell out of all of us. 💸 What is Private Equity? Private Equity (PE) is a form of investment that doesn't operate on public stock markets. These firms raise huge pools of money from rich individuals, pension funds, or institutions and invest that money in...

Every year, lakhs of India’s brightest young minds compete in one of the world’s most grueling exams — the JEE. The reward? A seat at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), institutions hailed as the apex of academic brilliance in the country. IITs are our pride. We speak of them on Republic Day. We build coaching empires around them. We speak their names with reverence. But here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: The IITs are burning the midnight oil — but not for India. 🚨 Built by India, But for Someone Else Let’s look at the numbers. The Government of India spends ₹10–15 lakh per student during a 4-year B.Tech program at an IIT. The total IIT budget for FY 2024–25? Over ₹9,660 crore. Students pay a small fraction. Many pay nothing, thanks to scholarships and subsidies. So who pays the rest? You do . The Indian taxpayer. And how does the country benefit? ✈️ The Silent Exodus of Talent ● 30–36% of IIT graduates leave India for jobs or higher education ab...

Imagine this — your phone stops working just two years after you bought it. Your printer says the cartridge is empty even though you can clearly see ink. Your lightbulb burns out again. Ever wondered why? I t's not bad luck. It's deliberate . Welcome to the world of Planned Obsolescence , a shady strategy that thrives on the infinite greed  of modern capitalism. What is Planned Obsolescence? In simple terms, planned obsolescence  means designing a product to fail  or become outdated sooner than necessary—so you’re forced to buy a new one. Manufacturers build in weaknesses, stop software updates, and use marketing to make your perfectly fine gadget look like a fossil. This isn't a conspiracy theory—it's a well-documented business model . The Lightbulb That Wouldn't Die: The Centennial Light Here’s a bulb that exposes this scam better than anything else. In Livermore, California , a single lightbulb has been glowing since 1901 . It’s called the...
