Documenting 21st Century - India and the World

New Indian Parliament house was inaugurated by Prime minister Narendra Modi in bizarre ceremonial ritual. Built with a budget of $110 million is a vanity project of Indian authoritarian Prime Minister who has worked hard to destroy India's secularism and its Democracy, Economy, sociopolitical tradition and social fabric. The new Parliament House is part of $2.8 Billion 'Central Vista' project of redesigning national capital. The new project is being built by demolishing several existing cultural & historical buildings like National museum and National center of Arts. Built during the Cataclysm of public health emergency The project was built during the cataclysmic period of Covid-19 pandemic in India which overran its weak & almost non existent healthcare system. Official Covid-19 deaths are gross underestimate & deliberately undercounted by Indian Government ( 1 , 2 ). Uncountable number of Indians died at the peak of Delta wave when Hospitals ran out of medica

Situation in Ukraine Situation in Ukraine turned out to be even worse than what General Ivashov predicted . The massive casualties of Russian military and PMCs (Wagner etc), huge loss of military hardware and equipment (tanks, ships, armored vehicles, ammunition etc) and isolation of Russia. The economy of Russia is decimated although it's being propped up somewhat by China and other nations who are still trading with Russia (Oil & Gas etc) disregarding western calls for sanctions .  The demographic crisis has gotten worse and Russia's standing in the world has been greatly tarnished by the mindless war of aggression. Russia is sending prisoners (human waves) and conscription troops as its resources are dwindling.  The Talleyrand quote fits perfectly to Putin. "worse than a crime; its a mistake". You want to act tough, inhuman and throw international law out of the window. You want to destroy and decimate a modern country with population of more than 40 million.
