We have been down this road before. These are not new questions. The last time they were seriously debated, some of the most brilliant minds that generation spent their lives trying to find an answer that could reconcile competing political aspirations of various groups involved.
I genuinely don't understand why it's so hard for these libtards to understand Sharjeel Imam. You don't have to agree with his politics but witch-hunting a man who has spent years in jail instead of engaging with his arguments is neither fair nor democratic. A doctor's job is to treat the patient, not blame them for being sick and kill them for it.
Sharjeel is a history researcher and student, not just a political activist. He has every right to offer a different interpretation of history and critique the Constitution. Even Ambedkar declared "I shall be the first person to burn it out" expressing his frustration with how the Constitution was being implemented.
Other organisations in Northeast India including Naga and tribal student bodies have used chakka jam and economic blockades to pressure governments into negotiations. Why then is Sharjeel Imam demonised for advocating a blockade to draw attention to his community's grievances?
If you disagree with his arguments on minority underrepresentation and political representation, address the structural inequalities he highlights instead of demonising him. Democracy means engaging with uncomfortable arguments, not silencing those who raise them.
We don't really have an alliance with anyone. We are just idle spectators, sitting at the ringside, witnessing others beating the crap out of each other. Which side we cheer has zero relevance to the outcome.
I think real estate is going to become so bad that it will turn a generation of Indians into hard red Mao supporting commies.
Its the opposite actually. As IT layoffs become more pronounced world wide, a lot of gvlt bros with their dollar savings and 99 year waiting period on their green card will attack the indian real estate market hard. We are about to see a boom like never before.
There is only one thing more annoying than a teenage guy in love. Its a teenage girl who has just fallen out of love. Such apocalyptic framing of such a trivial situation.
Find myself sympathising with the boomer here. After a time, there is just no point whining about things that are not in your control.
Influencer and techbro is the most combustible and unstable combination to begin with. It was only a matter of when, not if.
This isn't contradictory. Once people realise that, no matter how much they save, homeownership will be out of reach, they eventually lose incentive to sacrifice their present quality of life for an unattainable future. They would rather spend on luxuries they can afford today
Sachin played that way for 20 years.
Q: Who is Pakistan’s last superstar?
Waqar Younis: Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Amir.
Q: Babar Azam has good stats, but has he ever made a match-winning impact.?
Waqar Younis: Babar Azam is playing alone. If he had four big names alongside him, you would see a completely different style of play from him.
Can you name a single batter among Pakistan’s current top six, apart from Babar Azam, who has consistently played alongside him?
Back in the 1990s, you could easily name Pakistan’s top six batters. But can you do the same for the current era, excluding Babar Azam?
Many girlies think that marriage is an escape route if they can't manage to get a job. Nothing can be further from truth. From what I have seen become of those who opted for that escape route, its not a escape at all. Its a punishment.
Indian policy establishment excels in framing abject cowardice as well thought out pragmatism. The fact that despite having a big majority in the lower house, there have been 0 major reforms in the last decade is a major missed opportunity.
I don't think any sports team recieves this kind of gesture anywhere else in the world. Brazilian team and Argentinian team were mostly treated with mild indifference at an official level in India.
I get the sentiment but taking a US experience as an example, the least racial group is the upper class white who live in secluded neighbourhood and have among the least interaction with non-whites while the most racist are those who grew up in mixed neighbourhood.
I've come to the conclusion that most people are inherently racist. Anti-racism movement was driven by people who found themselves on the receiving end of prejudice from groups that occupied a position of social dominance. But the moment they encounter another group they
perceive as beneath them in some sort of hierarchy, they resort to the very slurs and prejudices they once condemned.
Their opposition to racism was never rooted in a genuine commitment to the principle itself but just in the fact that they were its victims.
One of my colleagues who has been parasiting my work for years got royally screwed yesterday and that made me so happy that I am still smiling.
I would say the same thing to Indian govt. Subsidized education in humanities is a massive waste of money with a net negative economic return for society. If they want to spend 15 years doing PhD in theater, let them do it on their own dime.
