माझे दोन जिवलग मित्र आहेत, एक हॉटेल बार चलवतो, दुसरा पोल्ट्री उद्योजक. सहज बोलताना मी कुळकायद्याने शेतीचे आणि मालकांचे कसे नुकसान झाले हे सांगत होतो, त्यावर दोघेही म्हणाले की कुळकायदा गरजेचा होता. आमची कुटुंबे शेतात राबायची, त्यांना जमिनी मिळाल्या. वगैरे वगैरे. मी म्हटलं तसंच तुमच्या उद्योगाची वाटणी करून तुमच्या कामगारांची स्थिती आज सुधरवली तर? त्यावर दोघेही विषय बदलू लागले.

कुठलेही लोक ब्राह्मण समाजामुळे मागास नाहीत. ब्रिटिश येण्याआधी हेच लोक कलाकार, कारागीर होते. ब्रिटिश आले आणि अर्थव्यवस्था बदलली. बंदुका आल्या, कमी सैन्य लागू लागले. पारंपरिक राजे सोडून इतर क्षत्रिय समाज मागे पडला. इंग्रजानी भारतीय उद्योग संपवले. शेतकऱ्यांची पिळवणूक सुरू केली.

पुस्तकी शिक्षण हेच पूर्वापार उपजीविकेचं साधन असलेल्या ब्राह्मण समजाला त्याचा फायदा झाला आणि त्यातून त्यांची आर्थिक स्थिती सुधारली.

शिक्षण कोणाला द्यावे आणि कोणत्या प्रकारचे द्यावे, यावर महाराष्ट्रात वाद होते. टिळकांनी शेतकरी व ब्राह्मणेतर समाजाच्या मुलांना आधुनिक इंग्रजी शिक्षण देण्याबाबत विरोधाची भूमिका घेतल्याचे त्यांच्या मराठा या वृत्तपत्रातील लेखांच्या संदर्भांसह ऐतिहासिक लेखनात नमूद आहे.

मग परिणाम म्हणून ब्राह्मणेतर चळवळी सुरू झाल्या. कारण कारकुनी करणे हेच अर्थार्जन हाच समज झाला होता. आज जे सरकारी नोकरीचं वेड आहे तेच.

(आजही सगळ्यांना सगळं शिकवून आपण महत्त्वाचा १०-१५ वर्षाचा कालावधी वाया घालवतोच आहोत. खेळात चांगली असणारी मुलं कुठल्यातरी पतसंस्थेत कारकुनी करत आहेत.)

त्याजागी इतर कुठल्या समाजाच्या पारंपरिक कामात जास्त पैसे मिळाले असते तर त्या समाजाने इतरांना आमचे काम शिकवू नये असेच सांगितले असते.

There is an American tech YouTuber called Jerry Rigs Everything. Most of his videos are about him taking apart devices, understanding how they work etc.

He has 10.2 million subscribers

In 2005 his wife had a horse riding accident as a result of which she was paralyzed waist down. She now required a wheel chair to move about

All high quality outdoor wheelchairs that he tested costed upwards of $20,000

Considering he was a tech Youtuber with some fame he could have simply called one company to get one for free.

He didn't do that

Like he does on his channel, he took apart a wheelchair, understood its components and then built one on his own

He then decided to sell them in public for $999. He called it the Paradox

Thanks to him, most of us can have access to high mobility, all terrain wheelchairs.

This is what tech Youtubers abroad do. They actually make a difference

Meanwhile Our guys haven't yet gone past, "Arre Bhai, Yeh dekho Apple ka agla amazing phone, Isme aapko milta hai 3 camera aur ek screen. See how I am drooling on this packaging and colour" with some pathetically click baity thumbnails

Storm Boelo is battering Scotland and northern England, with more than 40,000 homes and businesses reported without power.

But behind every number is somebody’s home, livelihood or business.

This is Largs, where severe flooding has hit shops in the town. Geraldo’s has shared footage showing the damage, with the owner clearly devastated by what has happened to her shop and neighbouring businesses.

More than 23,000 SSEN customers remain without power, while Northern Powergrid reports outages affecting more than 18,900 properties. Further disruption remains possible as the severe weather continues.

A dreadful night for communities caught in the storm.

And there's a wider lesson here. Keeping a few essentials at home, bottled water, tinned food, a torch, spare batteries and a wind up or battery-powered radio, isn't about preparing for the Russians to come marching down the street.

It's about recognising just how vulnerable we are to extreme weather, how poorly prepared our infrastructure can be, and how quickly the basics we take for granted can disappear.

Being prepared isn't paranoia. It's common sense when the infrastructure we depend on isn't as resilient as it should be.

@theepicmap El Choco.
One of the wettest places on Earth:
200–500in/yr+ (Seattle gets ~40).
Andes are nearly uncrossable.
Mangroves are unclearable.
Rough seas, limited harbors.
Flood-prone, hard to develop.
AND NO DRY SEASON.

I loved Blackadder, it marks the beginning of the end of BBC comedy. After 37 years the real sadness for me seeing that footage again now is knowing that these wars are all Rich Mens Games where they play with millions of life's from behind their drinks cabinets. Thats the really sad part.

Boarding on AI 882 AMD-DEL is delayed by 20 minutes because Supreme Court Judge Vipul Pancholi & wife had to be VIP boarded first. They walk in with a posse of 6 guards + 3 AI staffers. Is this the VIP culture that India’s judiciary advocates? @MLJ_GoI ?

Is hard for anyone to connect the dots. When anyone says that india does not have businesses like US, it is because of this. No one wants to risk and invest their money. And believe it or not, but rupee going to 95 against dollar is cumulative effect of businesses not flourishing in india.

Jagriti Mishra runs an animal shelter and NGO in Delhi. While she was constructing a gaushala on her land, Manish Shishidia’s gundas and corrupt MCD officials arrived without notice and demolished the under-construction building because she refused to bribe the local parshad.

@omarali50 The elites in india have maintained high standards in their hereditary professions (e.g., Banias, Brahmins).
It is the blacksmith, carpenter, farmer who have failed to raise standards. Industrial revolution in west was led by these tradesman. Not by elite.
