The whole concept is meant to be a joke, until u realise politically unaware genz who live off of social media and have all their opinions formed based off of what they see on social media and Instagram will take it seriously. You and me might have a look and laugh at it, but some dumb kids actually take it seriously. Of course the CJI calling us "cockroach" Isn't fine, but think about who you choose to follow. The account is run by some dude sitting in the USA while instigating Indian youth, and if anything happens tomorrow, in no way will he be held accountable for anything. He's also affiliated with AAP. you may think it's just a joke and no one takes it seriously, but before you know it thousands of students will want a situation like nepal, thinking it's normal in a country with 1.4 BILLION people. Think before you form opinions and follow random people, don't become a sheep, think in the long picture. India does NOT need a situation like nepal, paper leaks, bad stuff keeps happening, but it's not like whatever happened in Nepal for a country of 1.4 billion people has to come to a stand still. Small opinions can build fast before you even notice it. Think like responsible citizens before forming opinions on anything.

I am Nepali. I always look through Indian political news.Why is everything in India connects with religion only.In Nepal I have never seen a single religious debate in politics even from well established politician. Whereas I felt like in India to win election you eventually need to choose side of one certain religion or even some particular caste. Why is it such a huge thing ? Do Indians never vote out of this loophole. I have seen huge rally’s of people worshipping them like god cause they talk about saving Hinduism or Islam I mean do Indian politicians really took care of Hindu ideology and people in certain way like they promised or it’s just a dirty politics?

So I usually never post anything on social media, but recently I put up an Instagram story criticising the BJP for playing communal politics that I feel is doing more harm than good. That day I was genuinely disturbed after reading about atrocities against tribal communities in Odisha and Madhya Pradesh. Out of anger, I posted it.

One of my old school classmates (we barely talk) replied saying "we need them." I asked why, and he started sending me Sudhir Chaudhary reels claiming Muslims are a danger to the nation, videos of aggressive Jai Shree Ram chants, and pushing people around. He said BJP is the only party protecting Hindu traditions.

I'm an atheist who's never been into religion. From whatever history I've read, religion has mostly created divisions and massacres. That's my lens. So I tried to understand his point and asked further.

He said he wants all Hindus in India and all Muslims sent to their countries. I asked what about Christians, Jains, Buddhists? Do we send them out too? He didn't answer that directly and shifted to how Muslims are destroying our country and traditions. I mentioned how during Christmas people have broken decorations in some places, and my relatives in Odisha said they'd never seen this kind of thing before BJP came to power.

I'm still trying to process this. Is this how most people are voting now just to save their religious traditions? Has the hatred for our own co-citizens reached this level?

My father has been a government servant almost his entire life, so I've seen a bit of how governments actually function. I grew up with friends from almost every religion and never once felt anyone imposing their beliefs on me.

The conversation continued and he asked if Congress said the same things, would I support them? I told him Congress was bad, that's why they were voted out. I remember BJP campaigning on real ground issues back then. How did we reach a point where it's mostly about protecting Hindu traditions?

What about other citizens who follow different religions (not just Islam)? When he said what other options do we have? it made me think can't we spend a little time actually looking at the candidates in our constituencies? Check their manifestos, their ground-level work. What about independent candidates or good regional party people who might actually deliver? Especially in tier-1 cities, where at least we have more access to information.

Maybe I'm privileged and don't fully understand the realities on the ground. Or maybe I'm just overthinking this. I’m not supporting any party or religion here just trying to make sense of it all.

Would love to hear honest perspectives from different sides. How do you all see this? Is voting now mostly about religious identity, or am I missing something bigger?

Only funny comments allowed

As middle-class citizens, we are expected to reduce our fuel usage and bear the burden of rising fuel and milk prices, while the government spends our tax money on extensive freebies across states. As taxpayers, we are the ones who ultimately have to pay the price.

​

Can this political partied strictly work on the following if they come to power for once?

1. Clean air, water, and food without adulteration else strict fines for anyone found messing with any of these three.

2. Education --> we need public school and college teachers to get back to working properly. Strict monitoring of schools and colleges. If you are paid, WORK for what you are paid for!!

3. A BIG NO TO BRIBERY --> anyone found taking or giving bribes must be strictly punished with heavy fines.

4. No political leader should ever talk about religion on stage unless there is a serious situation that genuinely needs government handling.

5. Stop spending crores on political rallies; instead, put that money into benefiting the public while in power.

6. What you promise, you accomplish within the timeframe you mentioned or at least get the project started early instead of waiting for the last year of your term.

7. We seriously need to reform pension systems. Some people get no pension at all, while others receive more than they could ever need in a lifetime.

8. Fines and penalties for crimes should be based on a percentage of income. If someone earning 10k pays a 2k fine, while someone earning 100k pays the same 2k for the same crime, it is not fair at all. For the richer person, it becomes nothing more than a small inconvenience.

Secondly, this idea is from another commentator on a different Reddit post ( which got down from the page for some reason):

- Please link Aadhaar, driver’s licence, birth certificate, and PAN card together. Any violation (for example, a traffic offence) can then be traced back to the Aadhaar system, making it easier to track repeat offenders and serious criminals.

- Introduce laws that prevent police from unnecessarily stopping people without probable cause. Evidence gathered unlawfully should generally be inadmissible unless it involves serious crimes like murder, assault, or human trafficking.

- Increase funding for courts. We need more judges, more courts, and faster processing of cases. The current delays lasting decades only help criminals, especially powerful ones.

- Increase funding for schools, police, and bureaucracy. Better-paid government employees are less likely to engage in corruption or abuse authority.

- Government employees should not accept “gifts,” and their finances should be regularly audited. Any major unexplained discrepancies should lead to strict punishment and long bans from politics or public office.

- Minor politicians should not be allowed to randomly transfer bureaucrats or police officers for political reasons. It disrupts families and pressures honest officers into corruption.

- We need a stronger and clearer separation of powers between the executive, judiciary, and legislature. Politicians should not be able to overstep boundaries and manipulate institutions for personal benefit.

- Government revenue and expenditure reports should be fully transparent, simple to understand, and digitally accessible to the public.

These are the root causes behind many of our issues. Once misuse of authority is controlled, corruption and crime will reduce significantly, and the nation can genuinely develop.

MAINLY THE ISSUE LIES IN CORRUPTION - I have no idea how to tackle it. Can someone suggest ideas??

Last month, Indian politics was buzzing with discussions around delimitation and the proposal to increase Lok Sabha seats through the Women’s Reservation Bill. India currently has 543 MPs, and there are discussions about increasing this number by nearly 50%.

But I’ve been thinking differently about this.

India is still a developing country with limited administrative and financial resources. Simply increasing the number of representatives may not solve the real problem of governance. Even after 76 years of independence, many people at the last mile still remain untouched by basic government services and schemes.

What India needs today is not necessarily more politicians, but stronger execution capacity on the ground.

We already have a three-tier democratic system with MPs, MLAs, and local bodies. The bigger issue is that government offices — especially in rural areas — often remain understaffed, dysfunctional, or inaccessible. Increasing the strength of administration, field officers, teachers, healthcare workers, and local governance staff would probably create more impact than increasing the number of MPs.

In fact, my opinion is the opposite of the current debate: India should have fewer MPs, not more. Imagine a system with only 100 national representatives focused purely on national policymaking and accountability.

And instead of seat allocation based heavily on population, representation could be based more on equal geographic regions. Population-driven politics often pushes parties toward caste and religious polarization, demographic calculations, and vote-bank politics rather than governance.

Today, Parliament often looks like 543 people creating noise, while real issues get buried. A smaller, more accountable group of representatives may actually improve responsibility and transparency. With fewer representatives, it becomes harder to hide behind the crowd and easier for citizens to hold leaders accountable.

Just a thought — maybe India doesn’t need more representatives. Maybe it needs better governance.
