@dvinesndwchmakr and being in the west which was the mortal enemy of communism at the time.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

It's our responsibility to fight it, but I'm not allying with the western right wing. Especially not MAGA.

[The Emissary @TheEmissaryCo]

People still haven’t realized that smack dab in the middle of a MAGA admin & even with the waning of Woke, Far Left Dems tried to pass blood libel-esque caste legislation bill in New York.

Now imagine what they’ll do when they’re back in power.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

Why don't you lobby for a 'displaced persons voting rights act," so you and your kids can have voting right in kashmir (as well as other people wherever they are displaced from because of political violence), while not actually living there?

[Pawan Durani @PawanDurani]

I have come to a painful realization that no government will ever ensure the return of Kashmiri Hindus to our homeland. To our youth, please seek a future elsewhere. Build your lives, thrive, and stay fiercely loyal to the countries that offer you safety and dignity. 💔🇮🇳

Buddhism is dead because the Islamic invasions wiped them out. The Buddhist kingdoms were most heavily concentrated in Afghanistan-pakistan and present day Bangladesh.

[unrave @unrave20]

If Hindus didn't proselytise why is Buddhism dead in the country of its origin and why a tiny island 6000 km from India still Hindu

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

@theEndisNAAY Hilter was absolutely a vegetarian later in his life. The only thing that's debated is whether he was vegetarian for ethical or health reasons. Turns out one's diet doesn't actually reflect one's character.

If that solder melts when held to a lighter, what's it gonna do when a constant current is running through it?

[Vishakh Ranotra @VishakhRanotra]

There’s a sleeve that can solder your wires when heated.

This looks so much better and secure than using an electrical tape.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

Her sect is absolutely a cult. They're only tangentially affiliated with ISKCON, and their leader basically said they weren't Hindu. Don't defend these people.

[Maragatham @bhoomiputraa]

ha ha... the supposedly pro-indian guy on the american right is still so wrapped up in the white man's world of BS.
ISKCON (not gaudiya vaishnavism per se) is only as much a cult as xtianity or izlam.
every other american politician is handled by riyadh, tel aviv or billy graham

First movie I saw on the big screen when my family migrated to the US.

[Jeremy @ManaByte]

Disney acquired The Rocketeer in 1986 and spent four years removing anything recognizable from it to turn it into a kid's property to sell toys (Betty was immediately cut). They really just wanted the name and nothing else.

Then Batman happened in 1989. Joe Johnston was a fan of the comic, found out that Disney had the rights to it, and offered to direct it (he had just finished Honey I Shrunk the Kids for them). He turned it back into an adaptation of the comic and the result is a classic.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

As with most things in India. None of it is unicausal.

[The Emissary @TheEmissaryCo]

There is an unfortunate phenomenon with the discourse around colonialism in India.

I believe it was absolutely catastrophic but not the Dukkhamul (origin of all pain) of modern India – a massive chunk of that lays at the feet of post-independence leaders.

Rather, colonialism, while being devastating for India as a whole, is used as a scapegoat for the Left to cover for the Republic's failures as LW leaders dominated its politics. Or to cast the British as the Great Dividers who destroyed the 'secular' utopia of Indo-Islamicate India.

But also by some of sections Right for not really acknowledging more challenging systematic problems in Indian society & culture.

The flip side of this is that you will come across policies & events from the British Raj that are so cartoonishly evil, they look like something out of a horror movie. Some of the figures are like real life supervillains in the flesh. So these extremities will indeed rile the emotions of Indians & understandably so.

Thus it becomes difficult to diagnose modern Indian ills today as colonial-derived (or further back into the Islamic Age if you're actually neutral & open-mindedly intelligent) or from post-independence policies.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

Until the great khan arises and unifies the clans...

[The Emissary @TheEmissaryCo]

Indian Info Warriors are basically marauding steppe clans roaming the great expanse of the internet who fight each over random trivial reasons (caste, region, etc…) but eventually unite & attack as one when the moment comes.

There is no formal organization here. No institution.

So when the unitary attack arrives, it wears the brutality of 1001 internecine conflicts welded into a single great hammer. Just sheer brute force and no holds bar style.

Unfortunately, due to lack of formalization or centralization, it also fizzles out easier.

And like steppe warriors, it doesn’t have the sophistication & staying power like more urbane & organized forces would have.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

you can also use the stairs...

[Rohit @Iam_Rohit_G]

Imagine you're on the 14th floor. A fire or earthquake strikes, lifts stop working, and you're alone with your child.
How do you escape?

An Indian company, Skydrop, has introduced a balcony safety cable system with free training for every user, offering a potential emergency evacuation option when every second matters.

High-rise societies spend crores on luxury amenities. Maybe it's time to invest just as seriously in life-saving safety solutions.

@dvinesndwchmakr Look up Bambi: The Reckoning

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

It would cost them more to determine if its been adulterated or not. That's the problem with illegal booze. The gangs can and do adulterate it with foreign substances.

[The Hawk Eye @thehawkeyex]

Why don't cops simply seize and auction to legit buyers? It will make some revenue. What's point of wasting liquor like this?

(I am assuming "illegal" here means it is not legitimately brought in the market with proper approvals and not poisonous or fake liquor.)

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

it's called a perp-walk, not victim walk. They're the perpetrators of the crime not the victims.

[K D Jha @KDJhaa]

Uttarakhand Police arrested four Nihang Sikhs after a clash broke out near Karnaprayag market in Chamoli regions yesterday between local traders and Nihang pilgrims returning from the Hemkund Sahib pilgrimage. All four arrested persons are from Mohali in Punjab.
Their victim walk video shows that they received more than enough beating in custody. Every state police is following UP Police Model now.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

@dvinesndwchmakr Everyone wanted to be edgy after galactica. I loved the show, but mixing it with Stargate was a bad call.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

@ja17fan2003 You can find parallel examples every where in the world. Nobility didn't always remain nobility, nor peasantry remain peasantry. Periods of social upheaval allowed changes of fortune for entire communities, or saw them disappear entirely.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

@voxscientisti Because the historical narrative is politically driven. Even if a historian or sociologist raised these points, that doesn't mean that it would effect the mainstream discussions.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

I would add a fourth point.

Academia presents caste as singular millennia old system with unbroken continuity, which is a thing they don’t do for any other country or culture. 1/6

[The Emissary @TheEmissaryCo]

India's caste system is framed in 3 main ways outside of India:

1. It's based on skin color
2. It is still completely ironclad today, ZERO social mobility
3. Brahmins (3% of population) enslaved the rest of society like whites did to blacks in Antebellum slavery

All of these are completely off the mark yet this is absolutely the mainstream consensus on what caste is outside of India. And this is done at an industrial-internet scale.

So when it comes to notions of fabrication & 'lying,' India has been slandered at a scale much larger & more deeply than this 18.5 hour bout of trolling by anons on X.

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

it looks good.

[Adivaraha @vajrayudha11]

Correct me if I am wrong but in which pre colonial era Indians worn this type of jackets?

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

@dvinesndwchmakr I have been ranting about this in one of my whatsapp groups for years!

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

India didn’t have a singular caste system – it had different systems of social hierarchy some of which were similar to the modern conception of caste. 6/6

[BonesofEmpire @BotE85371688]

Across every economic system, every governmental system, every linguistic group, and familial lineage that they would maintain a single hierarchy? 5/6
