Some lessons for Indians after their losses in T20 2021.

[Goenitz]

Just a thought. As India see their cricket team with high esteem, and now as they have lost, see how heartbroken are you. I just advise India take China seriously, and stop chanting "ready to fight 2 front war". China is miles ahead of you every domain of war. If there is a war, the loss of morale and hope aside, the human and material loss is unrecoverable.

So open your eyes, and stop thumping chest for war assuming that IA is unstoppable. Be realistic !!!!!! Also, Indian economy is sinking and this religious/caste/ feud is taking India back in every index, such as hunger, democracy, economic, etc. Who will invest in India if public is triggered by Muslim/Urdu adverts. It is a nightmare for FDI that they have to also consider what to say, write etc so as not lose business in India.

P.S. Posted here as that was cricket thread.

We don't associate every passing game as some diplomatic, military macho thing. The opposing team won fair and square. It's not the end of cricketing world.

Rest of your comments don't make sense, sounds like a coping mechanism where you are projecting your issues onto us thinking you are not alone in the economic/social quagmire. To give a few examples
Indias quarterly exports exceed $100 billion for the first time
India's Total FDI Inflow Rises 168% To $22.53 Billion In June Quarter
Moody's upgrades India's ratings outlook after nearly two years to Stable from Negative
A stark contrast on how IMF talks to you vis they talk to us.
IMF advises RBI to go slow on reserves accumulation. The reserves are at $641 billion, enough to cover 18 months of imports.

Be realistic !!!!!!

Ay! And stop cherry picking feel good surveys and index. Look at readily available indicators. We are not in a difficult situation at all, in fact we are past pre pandemic level of growth.

You forgot to add the figures that confirm india has nearly 40% of the ENTIRE earth's most severely malnourished and extreme poor. 4 million indians recently died from coronavirus. 732 million indians defecate in the open. india receives famine relief from Kenya and other sub-saharn African nations. india is also the biggest recipient of american aid too. Here is the evidence for all that I have stated:

My post was just a reminder or suggestion. Also, I am not expert of these indicators but states the overall trend. For instance, that FDI can be he laundered money from India to Cayman island and back to India. Is there any indicator which gives sum of money out and money in @Norwegian . Same goes for forex reserve as some Indians got richer and govt insane taxes but what about HDI (human development index). As there can be 2-3 more ambanis, that can increase country wealth and per capita, but what about the parity?

Anyway, my point was the bloated ego Indian media created for their cricket team and army. The losses in cricket stadium are recoverable but not of war. And Dehli is eager to fight at 2 fronts.

The only lesson Indians need to understand is that arrogance doesn't pay off

Laikin chutya qaum hai headed by another clown like Modi. I seriously doubt they would take this lesson

You got all of this out of a cricket match?

You got all of this out of a cricket match?

The hype side effects from the cricket match.

Economy part was just a supporting comment on war affordability.
I mean did 5 Aug steps stopped 'terrorism'? Or app ban, China incursion? In fact Indian govt still importing (100 B $) from China! So why chant for war but not for trade when China is willing for commerce but not the war. So self-realisation/introspect is needed here as the consequences of war are irreversible.

If it was something that would be constructive and makes sense, sure, I would agree with it. But it is further and further away from reality. What's concerning is people running your government is diverting your attention to believe a loss in cricket match has somehow made India weaker on all fronts. Your thread is a reflection of it.
There is a mechanism to track investments outflow and it's less than a billion. Taking money out, that too in billions will trigger a Reserve Bank enquiry because it affects the Forex. Now forex is increasing because we have received huge cap inflows. I hope you get what I am saying. Forex is coming from trade and investment. If we are diverting our money to Cayman and reinvest India, that would be like free money Caymans don't grow money in their banks they provide a safe parking. Look further to see what is happening

HDI is still the second best in the region, despite us being a large country , what does that tell about the others? Country with the highest HDI in the region (SL) is running around asking for Dollars to keep them afloat. Slightly similar situation to yours.
As for cricket yes, we had a few setbacks. We will not be always on top of the game and at the end of the day it's just a game we see sitting on our couch with popcorns.
