Let me share a truth with the Hindus: In Modi's 12 years in power, GDP growth has been almost zero

Since when Camery , Mercedes and BMW are for "decent life" ?? These are under luxury tax bracket which is definitely normal in a middle income country like India.

Indian UPI system has nothing to do with Alibaba and Paytm wallet bullshit deal. UPI an independent direct bank to bank transfer.

No. I see Indians every day on social media showing off Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces. And then you tell me a Camry is luxury? If you consider a Toyota Camry a luxury car, then you should ask yourself who built that perception for you. That insulting narrative is nothing but Modi's way of reaching deeper into your pockets. BMWs and entry-level Mercedes-Benz models are the starting point of a decent life everywhere in the world. India is no exception. India is a consumer market for all kinds of world-class luxury goods.

That's a small minority of sickular (secular) inspired Indians who are enemies of Hinduism and prioritize wealth over cows.

The majority of Indians are like this. Hindus are a deeply spiritual and religious people and they have no use for material luxuries.

Are you telling me the digital payment system they're so proud of and chest thumping about is also a Chinese import?
lol

Yes, Alibaba played a massive and foundational role in Paytm's growth, but it has now completely exited its investment .

Here is the timeline of their involvement:

· 2015 - The Big Bet: Alibaba and its fintech arm Ant Group invested over $500 million for a ~40% stake, aiming to replicate Alipay's success in India .
· Majority Shareholder: Ant Group eventually became Paytm's largest shareholder, holding nearly 30% around its 2021 IPO .
· 2023-2025 - Complete Exit: Alibaba sold its remaining direct stake in early 2023 . Ant Group then gradually sold down its stake , with the final 5.84% sale in August 2025 marking a complete end to Chinese ownership .

This exit was driven by geopolitical tensions and India's stricter regulations on Chinese investments .

For context, Alibaba and Ant Group invested a total of about $851 million into Paytm over the years .

India's "Bait and Steal" multinationals policies.
