Harsh Goenka calls Pakistan a ‘total mismatch' against India: ‘It's like Kohli vs gully cricketer'
RPG Enterprises chairperson Harsh Goenka has called out Pakistan again, comparing the economic might of the Adani Group with that of the country as a whole.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Goenka said that just one Indian company is bigger than entire Pakistan.
'Just one Indian company. Bigger than an entire nation. And they dare to fight with us,' he said in the post.
He further proved his point by drawing up comparisons of mismatched people, companies etc., like 'Virat Kohli vs a gully cricketer', 'CEAT vs a cycle tyre shop' and more.
'It's like: Kohli vs a gully cricketer, ISRO vs a kite, Shahrukh Khan vs a YouTube actor, Naatu Naatu vs a school dance, CEAT vs a cycle tyre shop,' he said.
'A TOTAL MISMATCH,' Goenka said, in all caps.
The RPG Enterprises chairman also attached an image, where it showed that the 'market capitalisation' of the Adani Group is $161 billion, while that of Pakistan is $50 billion. The chart also showed that the Adani Group was far ahead of Pakistan in terms of renewable energy infrastructure, green hydrogen and port operations.
Harsh Goenka's post found support among netizens, who agreed with his point of view.
'Sir, we have often seen dogs bark at people going in luxury cars but that doesn't mean the owner of that car shakes up to all this and starts comparing himself with that dog. My pov is loud and clear,' one person said.
'Last one is very personal,' another user joked.
'This comparison is a proper T20 thrashing. Love the CEAT shade too,' a third user agreed.
In response to the Pahalgam attack, Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7, targeting nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM).
Following the attack, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions.
India responded by launching a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres and airfields across airbases in Pakistan.
India and Pakistan came to an understanding on May 10 to stop the firings across the borders. New Delhi has maintained that Pakistan pleaded to stop the military actions after India hit eight military installations in Pakistan.

'Different sets of rules for Hindus and Muslims in Bengal': BJP on arrest of Instagram influencer Sharmishtha Panoli
NEW DELHI: BJP leader Agnimitra Paul on Monday directed her attack at the West Bengal government after the arrest of 22-year-old Instagram influencer Sharmishtha Panoli, alleging a lack of free speech and unequal treatment of communities in the state. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The remarks came after Panoli was remanded to 14-day judicial custody for allegedly making communal comments in a video on social media. Speaking on the incident, Paul said, "Kangana Ranaut very rightly said that don't make West Bengal another North Korea because there's no freedom of speech there. There is no constitutional freedom of speech in West Bengal, and there are two different sets of rules for Hindus and Muslims." She also thanked the Bar Council and Kangana Ranaut for supporting Panoli. "I thank the Bar Council and Kangana Ranaut (for standing by Panoli). Every Indian, Hindu and nationalist Muslim must stand against this injustice," she added. Paul accused the state government of selective enforcement and bias, saying, "We have seen so many posts from West Bengal lately abusing India, PM Modi, our Goddess Maa Kamakhya, after , but no action was taken... It is a clear message from the Mamata government that if you are a Hindu or a Muslim who is abusing or saying something against Muslims, you will not be spared, but if it is the opposite, no action will be taken." She urged the Hindu community in West Bengal to rise, saying, "Hindus of West Bengal also need to rise; they are sleeping under the cloud of secularism. We need to have a neutral government... The police of the state today only see a religion." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now BJP leader also cited specific instances of alleged bias, claiming, "No action was taken against Anubrata Mondal, a TMC leader who abused a police officer... The Mamata government only works for the Muslims, not for Hindus." On Panoli's arrest, Paul said, "Sharmishtha Panoli repeatedly apologised and also deleted the post and inspite of it, 's police, being proactive, went to Gurugram and arrested her." She further accused the Mamata-led state government of ignoring similar actions by others: "Mahua Moitra repeatedly abuses our Goddess... but no action taken... Court stated that riots of Murshidabad was done by TMC leaders... No action was taken... Mamata Banerjee doesn't consider Hindus of any importance."* According to police sources cited by PTI news agency, Panoli's video criticised Bollywood actors for their silence on Operation Sindoor. The post went viral, sparking backlash, and was subsequently deleted by Panoli, who also issued an apology. Despite this, she was arrested in Gurugram on Friday night after reportedly evading multiple police summons. Panoli, a law student originally from Kolkata's Anandapur area and currently studying at a university in Pune, has been charged under sections related to promoting enmity between groups and creating religious disharmony.

Goa achieves 100% literacy: How India's party capital hit this milestone
Goa achieved 100% literacy on May 31, 2025, its 39th Statehood Day, becoming the fourth Indian state to do so. Recognized under the Ullas – New India Literacy Programme, Goa surpassed the 95% literacy benchmark, reaching 99.7%. This milestone, a result of collaborative efforts by the government, local bodies, and educational institutions, signifies community-driven development and empowerment. On May 31, 2025, coinciding with its 39th Statehood Day, Goa was officially declared 100% literate by the Union Government, becoming the fourth Indian state to achieve this distinction. This recognition was granted under the Ullas – New India Literacy Programme, which sets a benchmark of 95% literacy for such declarations. Goa surpassed this threshold, attaining a literacy rate of 99.7%. This accomplishment is the result of years of steady work by the government, local government, and civil society. The accomplishment is more than simply a statistic; it signifies a transformation in community-driven development, empowerment, and social equality. This literacy success story gives Goa's reputation as a progressive, inclusive, and education-focused state—which is already well-known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife—a new dimension. Read more: World's 10 most impressive heritage sites to explore The journey to this achievement began in 2023 when Goa identified 3,000 illiterate individuals aged 15 and above. Through the concerted efforts of educational institutions, local bodies, and the Directorate of Education, 729 individuals were declared literate after attending classes and passing assessments. The remaining individuals were either in the process of learning or had not yet been assessed. If you go by the records, this journey for the party capital has been a long one, yet managed to accomplish this huge task of 100% literacy. The Directorates of Panchayat, Municipal Administration, Social Welfare, and Planning and Statistics all played a part in this achievement, which was stressed as collaborative by Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant. The identification and education of illiterate people were greatly aided by local organisations. According to reports, the government set exact criteria as part of the Ullas plan to assess if a state is totally literate or not. Additionally, reports state that Goa was able to fulfil all of the standards by ensuring that a significant percentage of its population become literate. The state's commitment to inclusive education and community-driven initiatives has been crucial in reaching this milestone.

It highlights the importance of how focused educational initiatives, engaged community involvement, and ongoing government assistance can help to eradicate illiteracy. As Goa celebrates this significant accomplishment, it sets a precedent for the nation, demonstrating that with concerted efforts and inclusive policies, the goal of universal literacy is attainable.
