Never let the hatred for a leader transform into that of a country. In 1310, when Malik Kafur had raided South India, Sundara Pandiyan, the younger brother of the Pandiyan King who was Ruling Madurai at the time, hated his elder brother.
He approached Malik Kafur for help.
Now that British museums have so many of their indigenous artwork for display, can we Indians have our stuff back? We promise to visit the British museum to see British things.
For every hour we spend agonising over societal crimes of the past, we should probably allow a minute or two to wonder what we're doing now that will be similarly condemned a hundred years hence. Climate, obviously; animal rights, likewise. What else?
"Tokyo Trials" on Netflix... Actor

*Remembered in Japan, forgotten in India*........
As New Zealand declares itself COVID-free today, people are idolising their PM and calling NZ a role-model for the world!
Sure, good work, but what’s all this fuss about? It’s not as extraordinary.
India has done far far better! I’ll prove it with a case study of Bengaluru.
Google drops anti-China app. HSBC and Standard Chartered support China's policy on Hong Kong... End of the day big business will crawl and kiss China's toes. So will Governments and investors. We live in an amoral world.

Congratulations to Rahul Gandhi for justifying the Indian electorate's decision to not go for the Mahagathbandhan in 2019. Three parties in one state cannot get their act together but they were out there to replicate this circus at the national level with an even bigger khichdi.
After more than 2.28 lakh tests, Karnataka's positivity rate is not even 1%.
And Karnataka has Bengaluru, India's 3rd largest city.
But you won't hear of "Karnataka model" anywhere.
Just because Karnataka has a BJP govt.

You guys remember Mihir Sen, the first Indian to swim the English Channel, the Palk Strait, The Dardanelles, The Panama Canal and pretty much every other long distance swims that exist?
We all remember him as a swimmer. But there's another story, most of us don't know
There was US Army general in the 1930s, Smedley Buttler, who wrote a book, War is a Racket.

I think the same should be done for people preaching communism
Professors around America have been caught selling secret research to the Chinese Communist Regime.
The national media won't cover it, so here's a thread of those who have been caught so far:
