True. But if they really wanted the campaign to resonate with the masses they should've gotten the celebrities to clean the actual dirty street. When people see that it's all hogwash and the celebrities are sweeping an already "clean" street, it comes out as tone deaf and talking down to others. It's almost as if they themselves couldn't be bothered to do the cleaning and are above doing the dirty work while expecting the "common" folks to do.

 

That's what it looked like. If you can't find any well known person to get their hands dirty then go with a different campaign. I found the whole campaign to be tone deaf and almost talking down to people.

Jackie dada has been an exception, gets his hands dirty while cleaning. They should pick the right celebs, there are many like Padma awardees who are like common people and the message is clear. At least in my street in Bengaluru, there is a garbage truck everyday picking wet and dry garbage separately.

Bumrah is born in Gujarat, lived whole his life there, played all of their cricket there. he is not a Punjabi.  He is a Gujarati sikh. Dont confuse Sikhs and Punjabis.  There are both Sikh and Hindu Punjabis.  

 

Is Ashish Kapoor a Tamil? Is Rahul Dravid a kannadiga? Are Shreyas Iyer and Rohit Sharma a Maharashtrian?

He incidentally grew up in a Mumbai chawl and even after giving his mega hit Hero with Subhash Ghai he still continued living there for 3 years.

Gujus gave us pandya and bumrah(although he really is punjabi). And axar

 

So I will let it slide. I won't say anything bad lol. But yes I agree. Spot on. 

He is not talking about Kirkut. How many Olympic medals have come from Gujarat to get max sport funding and not in Jathland areas. ?

Ashish Kapoor is a Tamilian. Why is Rahul Dravid not Kannadiga? Iyer and Rohit may not be marathis but they are Maharashtrians. Maharashtrian is not an ethnicity.

Rahul Dravid lived all his life in Karnataka. Whole family speaks Kannada , so what if his mom/dad spoke Marathi. Ramachandra Guha lived all his life in Bangalore , can’t speak two words in Kannada. He’s a shameless worthless migrant in Karnataka. Nobody calls Rajanikanth a Maharastrian just because his name is Shivaji Rao Gaikwad!!

No you are right. I am not denying that at all. Yes funding should be spread across. To south as well. Plenty of untapped potential there. 

 

I am just saying my lips are sealed after what gujus helped us achieve in cricket lol.

What a pathetic day at the Olympics. Very disappointed again with the archers - esp Dhiraj 

[bharathh]

They had a golden chance at the Finals esp with Korea, Taipei, Japan and China in the other bracket. Losers!

Korea v France final

 

57/60 each in the first set..incredible

[randomGuy]

Badminton doubles has slightly strange rule. 4 groups of 4 teams, 2 teams each progress to QF. If wins/losses are tied then points difference is considered. Satvik chirag lost on points difference in 2020 Olympics 

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_–_Men's_doubles

 

But good news is only 16 teams are there. Badminton singles have too many people competing.

Sat Chi should qualify for quarters. Then one more win means two stabs at a medal 

[Ultimate_Game]

Look at Korea... 9 is a disappointing score for them 

[Vickydev]

France made 58 in that set.. And still lost

 

This is unreal precision

Max funding to Gujarat and not Haryana, Punjab, Delhi. What do you expect?

Gujju land might be full of scams that we don't even know about... So much money is disappearing mysteriously.

 

Some serious untapped potential in North East & we need to set up some world class level infrastructure there to extract talent.

Guwahati should be a tier 1 city with top shelf facilities.  Ideal replacement of Kolkata.
