From the Eyes of a Mumbai Street Urchin:

Bhai, we see everything from the ground.
When you live under flyovers and dodge cops for a vada pav, you learn one thing fast—real power doesn’t shout, it whispers into the right ears. And Israel? They're kings of the whisper game.
They came to America like top-class businessmen. Not begging—bargaining. “We’re your frontline in the Middle East,” they said. “Your watchmen, your outpost.” And the Americans? They loved that. Gave them planes, bombs, vetoes like Diwali sweets.
But the real hustle? Guilt. They played the Holocaust card like pros. Every time someone said “Hey, don’t bomb those kids,” they pulled out Auschwitz. Silence. Even in the chawls we say, “If your trauma becomes your weapon, everyone else becomes your enemy.”
America, with its shiny suits and CNN tears, got hooked—like a rich guy paying a protection fee. “Support us or you're antisemitic.” And just like that, genocide became defence. Ethnic cleansing became a “security operation.” White phosphorus lit the sky, and the West blinked.
From Dharavi to Gaza, the poor see the pattern. Power protects power. And when blood flows, it's not from the boardrooms—it’s from the streets, from kids like me.
They didn’t hustle with lies.
They hustled with truth, weaponised.
And in the game of survival, that’s the deadliest hustle of all.
