Crying out loud, acting rebel is not helping you / society/ anyone. If you have conviction prove your self instead of being negative & destructive
Ambanis journey is from a factor labor to $ 100 billion empire in less than 100 years and this capitalism story sells in the market, create a better story and people will follow you
So only Mukesh Ambani and his top management are able to partake of this 100 billion dollar empire. How many people are those from India's 1.4 billion population ? Does every Indian family or citizen have a two-billion-dollar house like Ambani does ? In contrast to that philosophers and revolutionaries like Muammar Gaddafi enabled each of their country's citizens to live in physical comfort :
Compare Muammar to Modi. It was Muammar Gaddafi who actually realized "Sabka saath, sabka vikaas" not only for his country's people but enabled so for his region ( Africa ) and supported international and transnational progressive / revolutionary movements who wanted to bring harmony and comfort to their societies and to humanity. Modi just does jumla lies."In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful..
For 40 years, or was it longer, I can’t remember, I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food. I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert.
I stood up to attacks from that cowboy Reagan. When he killed my adopted orphaned daughter, he was trying to kill me; instead he killed that poor innocent child.
Then I helped my brothers and sisters from Africa with money for the African Union, did all I could to help people understand the concept of real democracy, where people’s committees ran our country.
But that was never enough, as some told me. Even people who had 10-room homes, new suits and furniture, were never satisfied. As selfish as they were they wanted more, and they told Americans and other visitors, they needed ‘democracy’, and ‘freedom’, never realising it was a cut-throat system, where the biggest dog eats the rest.
They were enchanted with those words, never realising that in America, there was no free medicine, no free hospitals, no free housing, no free education and no free food, except when people had to beg or go to long lines to get soup.
No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some. But for others, they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and muslim leader we’ve had since Salah ad-Din. When Nasser claimed the Suez Canal for his people, as I claimed Libya for my people, it was in his footsteps I tried to follow, to keep my people free from colonial domination - from thieves who would steal from us …
Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history. My little African son Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our country: to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free education, our free food, and replace it with American-style thievery, called ‘capitalism’.
But all of us in the Third World know what that means. It means corporations run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer.
So there is no alternative for me; I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by following his path - the path that has made our country rich with farmland, with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab brothers and sisters to work here with us, in the Libyan Jamahiriya.
I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this land, my people, all the thousands who are all my children, then so be it.
Let this testament be my voice to the world: that I stood up to crusader attacks of Nato, stood up to cruelty, stood up to betrayal, stood up the West and its colonialist ambitions. And that I stood with my African brothers, my true Arab and muslim brothers, as a beacon of light.
When others were building castles, I lived in a modest house, and in a tent. I never forgot my youth in Sirte. I did not spend our national treasury foolishly, and like Salah ad-Din, our great muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem for Islam, I took little for myself …
In the West, some have called me ‘mad’ or ‘crazy’. They know the truth but continue to lie. They know that our land is independent and free, not in the colonial grip; that my vision, my path, is and has been clear and for my people, and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free. May Allah almighty help us to remain faithful and free."

There was a rat race for Govt Jobs
And it did nothing to relieve India of the evils of "great traditional Indian culture". The governments did not force the regressives and irrationals among the Indian population to abandon their evil ways. So even in 2022 we have honor killing and Dalits whose social standing is worth less than a filthy dog and in 2022 we have gone back to pre-1947 when a typical female and male could not marry without absolute consent of their families. These are just a few of the elements of how the government jobs you refer to became just a source of income and not revolutionary change in society despite 75 years of space to do change.
There was a rat race for Engineering, there was a rat race for Computer Science, there will be a rat race for Crypto, There will be rat race for web 3.0, why because all of them have proven success stories
About computer science please read my earlier mention about Infosys and TCS in my post you quoted.
And again, what is this crypto-shipto thing ? How is different from the historic Capitalism in India with relatively modern elements like stock exchange ( BTW the Bombay Stock Exchange is one of the oldest stock exchanges in the world which did not close for a minute while in 2011 in New York the progressive people there demanded that the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange be shut down permanently because they enable generation of Capitalist wealth of for the one percent of population while the 99 percent remain poor ).
That is your interpretation, Capitalism most of us are referring to is a recent phenomenon (post industrial age) and in Indian context it is super nascent
You may be correct in theoretically but the point is we as a society have moved in the right direction in last decade (purchasing power, income levels, affordability have gone up significantly and this cohort is expanding, initially there were handful of people in each localities having these privileges)
You and other naive Indians don't realize that you are slaves of the Indian Capitalist system. Your so-called Purchasing Power is an illusion. You take interest-based loans from banks to buy homes, homes which should have been delivered to you for free by the government because a home is a human right not to be exchanged for money ( read the Gaddafi essay again ). You take interest-based loans to buy cars and two-wheelers ( personal cars and two-wheelers should be banned anyway ). You become enslaved to the bank for years until you are able to repay the loans. How many of you can afford to then obtain finance to start a company, a business ? The bank will not allow this in most cases. Nor does the government provide you finance in most cases. Your income goes away in paying tax for house, tax for even water, tax for electricity and even tax for road as if you were living in old times and the government was a monarch or a feudal extorting tax from the citizens. How many of you can afford to help out a friend with ten lakhs or even five lakhs if he or she wants to start a business ? You the income-earning Indian middle class or lower class live in chhoti chhoti khushiyaan because you cannot do anything else because you have decided not to revolt. The Libyans and the Russians revolted and established comfortable societies for themselves but you Indians you did not revolt because that is not easy, easy is watching cricket matches and doing multiple college degrees and going on three pilgrimages in five years. You live lives that are easy in your minds because you don't think but in reality you live struggling lives yet do not think of even doing the selfish thing of establishing a socio-economically comfortable society outside your home so that you will live comfortably inside your home.

If you think your approach is the right one then pursue, set up organisations, cities, localities as per your world view then sane ones will follow if they see better life.
Yes, in fact some years ago I had a few meetings with the state secretary for my state of one of the public Communist groups because I wanted to join. Somehow it didn't happen though the discussions were nice. I will walk my talk in the future too.
