Hi
Vickram, there seems to be a false assumption on your part that is
underpinning most of your logic. Allow me to clarify. The funding is not
new, it is not entering India now, in fact if I had to make an educated
guess I would say the spending is an eighth or a sixth of what it was the

Nobody's being blamed! Negative approaches do cause burn outs. This is a
reality. We know it. To say something that is a reality does not mean that
anyone is being blamed. I genuinely can't understand why this is seen as
blame or a stigma on the community.
Also, I am not a politician and do not
