About this listen

India’s week was basically a Netflix dark comedy—Trump slapped 50% tariffs on our exports while our stock markets fainted like Bollywood extras. The government, in full “jugaad mode,” wants to dump textiles on 40 random countries while also pitching Ahmedabad to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games (mascot: traffic jam). The Supreme Court turned into Bigg Boss with judges investigating judges, while street vendors got UPI credit cards—so your golgappa now comes with EMIs. Rajnath Singh warned of “long wars,” as if we weren’t already fighting Wi-Fi signals and potholes daily. But hey, cheer up—by 2038, India will be the world’s 2nd largest economy… hopefully by then our roads, courts, and metro projects will also finish Season 1.
