Hello Everyone,

I've created a one-stop destination to understand some facts of the 2024 General Elections in Kerala.

It includes a detailed political profile, brief on major issues, demographics and electoral statistics (and maps!)

Folks who have no idea who Tagliafico is are miming his celebration with that catchy Argentina song. Can't complain but it is funny.

I saw a parody of the Insta influencers doing this and also an "Indian" version covering our footballers

@fahadmh Also the RS thing goes against the fundamental idea of what states are meant to be under constitutional design

@fahadmh The money bill distinction hasn’t really mattered in a good amount of time

@AvnishKSingh2 @anwesh_satpathy @AKanisetti @UnamPillai Manu Pillai is no less. He has creatively interpreted Nilakanta Sastri in Lords of Deccan. Of course if one were to dig in there’ll be more such example.

How K.A. Nilakanta Sastri described the incident, versus how Manu S. Pillai described it;

[Manuscripts & Inscriptions Digitization Foundation @midf_org]

Something most people don't know:

India holds the largest written record of any civilisation.
1 crore manuscripts. 3 lakh inscriptions in stone.

We gave the world zero. Wrote down surgery and calculus centuries before the West did.

Today, less than 1% can be read or searched. The rest is quietly turning to dust.

In the age of AI, knowledge a machine can't read is knowledge the world will never use.

MIDF is working to change that.

@tannhaushg I doubt it had any impact.

[Ananth Krishna Subhalakshmy @Ananth_Krishna_]

lol CPM folks are tripping over Rahul Gandhi’s comments about not being able to hug PV. They point out that RaGa made a huge show of hugging the PM in 2018.

The amusing thing is that this is post the speech being put out publicly. I wonder if they would have said anything if it remained private. https://t.co/25zRHJO5nN

@ParrotBeaker @centerofright Huh? If you’re talking about ONOE that JPC is not expected to submit its report anytime soon.

[Ananth Krishna Subhalakshmy @Ananth_Krishna_]

@OnlyNakedTruth @centerofright BJP govts has systematically taken it up at state level since UKD. Quite clear that is the path they are on currently. GJ ASM already enacted, MP on the way

[Ananth Krishna Subhalakshmy @Ananth_Krishna_]

@OnlyNakedTruth @centerofright UCC will be a statute like any other - Simple majority

[Ananth Krishna Subhalakshmy @Ananth_Krishna_]

@centerofright Constitutional amendments to certain provisions/ parts* have that procedure after passage by Special Majority in both Houses of Parliament.

[Ananth Krishna Subhalakshmy @Ananth_Krishna_]

@centerofright No such thing. Only Constituonal amendments to certain amendments have such a procedure. A national level UCC will be an ordinary statute and nothing more.

[Ananth Krishna Subhalakshmy @Ananth_Krishna_]

More excited about this https://t.co/MZ04qF3gfL

Interesting trailer. Would be fun to play Assassin's Creed lite in Delta. :)
