@KanwalSibal All true. But why feel offended & outraged? If India and Indians want to be thought of as a big power, they should stop being nettled by minor objects. The attitude ought to be: we don’t give a sh!t to what you say or think about us. China plays that game well.

[Voice of Goa @OriginalGoan]

@MainakM1234 @ihailmyindia Because of linguistic evolution. Old Norse and Sanskrit are part of the same larger family. The two words are cognates, going back to a common root. If you don’t know something, the remedy is to find out and learn. Not exhibit your ignorance.

[Voice of Goa @OriginalGoan]

@suryakane @ananthkrishnan The Indian incoherence and eagerness to please was on display yesterday when they elevated a nobody-woman to someone worthy of a response. This is why nobody fears India, unlike China.

Why can’t India field better spokespeople?

[Voice of Goa @OriginalGoan]

@aravind @Duflee_baja Why does India have these putzes? You need someone who can think quickly on his feet. A one sentence dismissal of that woman was all that was needed. Instead these fellas looked so eager to “explain.” This is why Pakistan walked away with a PR victory following Op Sindoor.

[Voice of Goa @OriginalGoan]

@IndiainSeattle @AmbVMKwatra @shawnchitnis This was a wasted opportunity. No mention of the mango’s history or how deeply it is embedded within Indian civilization. Is it too much to expect Indian diplomats to learn a little about a topic before going on foreign television?

[Voice of Goa @OriginalGoan]

He doesn't and you don't either.

The absence of women in a single diplomatic photograph does not demonstrate the “end of meritocracy." Statecraft at that level is often dominated by institutional pipelines, age cohorts, and geopolitical power structures rather than demographic representativeness. Furthermore, both countries do in fact have highly accomplished women in senior economic, diplomatic, and scientific positions, even if they were not present in that room.

I was embarrassed for you and your infantile post.

[Voice of Goa @OriginalGoan]

Indian vegetarian cuisine is of immense antiquity: original, extraordinarily diverse, delicious, and, when properly prepared, nutritious and healthy.

What this washed-out ambassadorial schoolboy howler betrays above all is a failure of imagination. Also a striking ignorance of his own civilisational history.

I am glad the Indian state still retains alignment with the vegetarian ethos consonant with the principle of ahimsa.

[Voice of Goa @OriginalGoan]

@GitaGopinath Here is an Indian woman, intelligent & accomplished, doing her utmost to efface her own civilisational identity instead of wearing it with confidence. To wit: the Indian saree, the most elegant feminine garment ever conceived.

Gita, you need not flee your inheritance.

If this is truly your view of agriculture, it is puzzling that you have devoted so much of your resources to yet more apartments and hotels on Goan soil instead of helping preserve and expand Goa’s steadily shrinking agricultural footprint.

When the Portuguese arrived in Goa, they destroyed every single one of the numerous temples that once dotted our coast. You could have used some of your land to make a symbolic civilisational statement by building a temple on the coast that Goans could look upon with pride. Our temples are not merely religious structures. They are community anchors where seva, cultural continuity, and social life are nurtured.

That would not only have been a dharmic act, but something that would have meaningfully sealed your legacy.

Instead, what remains to show for it now? Yet another hotel.

Like many Indians who have recently discovered the word “carbs,” your understanding here is half-baked. Nutritional discourse reduced to counting protein grams is adolescent thinking.

The unhealthy turn in Indian eating habits of the middle class and above is tied far more to ultra-processed foods, restaurant culture, delivery apps, sugar overload, sedentary living, chronic stress, and collapsing physical activity. Traditional home-cooked Indian meals - rice or millets, dal, vegetables, curd, buttermilk, legumes, fermented foods, nuts, spices - sustained large populations for centuries, including people performing physically demanding labour.

No one sat with spreadsheets counting protein grams because health is not reducible to a single macronutrient. It is the outcome of multiple interacting factors: diet quality, activity levels, sleep, metabolic health, stress, sunlight, community, and lifestyle.

Traditional Indian systems also incorporated walking, physical labour, yoga, pranayama, seasonal eating, and moderation. Those matter a great deal.

Meanwhile, a population with extremely high protein intake such as the USA is hardly a shining example of metabolic health. It is drowning in obesity, diabetes, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, and ultra-processed consumption. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick to dal & paneer.

Now go home to mommy and ask her to educate you. If you return with another low-resolution response, you will be blocked.

[Historianunkil @SudsG5]

I know you mean well but even someone eating 100 gm cooked urad dal + 100 gm paneer daily (very few do this) will only get 7-9 gm protein from the dal and 20-21 g from paneer along with 23-25 gm carbs total.

That's assuming it's just steamed and eaten. Add oils, ghee etc and the composition changes more.

@indian_yaksha @aadilbrar Expected a 'reply guy' to chime in. Another one has, too - @Nishant52635675. Read this and go home to mommy. If either of you replies, I will block you.

[Voice of Goa @OriginalGoan]

@vkhosla @sama @elonmusk Vinod, this kind of blather is what happens when you remain utterly ignorant about your own Dharmic traditions, you fool. “God” in Indic tradition is not the Abrahamic God. India pioneered rational and logical inquiry into this millennia ago.

@_MirrorMan Correct. It is largely the fat content and creaminess that determine how milk tastes. The A2 mention was merely an aside, drawing a comparison between cattle from very distant geographies.

[Voice of Goa @OriginalGoan]

@aravind No. Icelandic cows were brought to Iceland by the original Norse settlers from Scandinavia over 1000 years ago and have remained genetically isolated ever since. They graze on some of the purest pasture on the planet, nourished by exceptionally clean water.

[Voice of Goa @OriginalGoan]

Another foreigner who doesn't know what he/she is talking about. If you eat mostly samosas and oily food, you will of course be doing damage to your health. Backing up, do you think your restaurant experience of a few days entitles you to draw broad conclusions about Indian food and dietary habits?

A traditional Indian vegetarian diet provides more than enough protein and is extremely healthy to boot. Here -

@Ram_Guha @kunalkamra88 Ramchandra, no comments on Udhayanidhi’s call for the eradication of Sanatana Dharma? You would have soiled your underwear if any Hindu had spoken that way about Christianity or Islam. Pathetic coward.
