There's a moment in The Dark Knight when the Joker is wreaking havoc on Gotham, destroying its soul and Batman just can't understand why. 

He asked his butler aka best aka daily diary aka Alfred about the Joker's motivation.

"Some men just want to watch the world burn," Alfred said.

Guys, Mukesh Ambani might be Batman.

Reliance delivered the death knell, the choke-slam, the Virat Kohli to network providers in India by launching Reliance Jio.

Free voice calls within India?

Check.

Mad 4G speeds at even madder prices?

Check.

Let's make India one and end roaming?

Check!

The Jio launch is equivalent to what Barack Obama did years ago when he walked into the Democratic Convention in 2004 and delivered one of the greatest speeches of all time to announce to the world that a black man was going to become king.

The Jio launch is what Rahul Gandhi does by merely existing in this world, proving to people that impossible is nothing.

Reliance Jio is THAT disruptive.

It's a giant diss on those clowns who keep calling you day-in and day-out, selling crappy and expensive 3G on networks you can't make basic calls from most of the time. Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, blah blah blah.

They're all just bricks in the wall which Mukesh Ambani today destroyed with a Gujarati tractor.

What will happen to them when they try to retain customers?

Well...

Indian social media, a microcosm of our public consciousness and very funny sometimes, agreed with the assessment and brought litres of Reliance dug petrol to this funeral pyre.
