And at that point, you ask them to leave. If she ever uses your weakest point in a fight, walk away.

Even if I have been wrong, I will step away expecting him to chase me. 🤣

Sorry not happening.

The second highest purpose of reading is to unlock deep within you and bring into consciousness what you have always known to be true.

And the top purpose is to practice it.

Coercive layer you solve in short term but results take medium term

Societal layer you plan for and solve for long term.

The paper leak issue problem is milti layered.

Societal layer - competition, need for status, need for security from socially respected career streams (*motivation*)

Coercive layer - poorly enforced laws, lack of severity, complicit people may have mostly “little” to lose ie

[Aseem Kumar @arriusdaze]

Finally, gaps in the implementation and thus the compromised technical layer- multiple leak vectors, outdated methodology - provided the “means”

To plug this you need to remove all three.

Technical layer you solved in short term

I love it. To the morons who have been denying India is a civilisational entity, this is something of a wake up call.

Passport is a powerful evidence supporting the fact that you are, in fact, the Republic’s citizen.

[Nirupama Menon Rao 🇮🇳 @NMenonRao]

The discussion sparked by a recent statement on Passport Seva Divas has generated more heat than light.

The Ministry of External Affairs stated that a passport is a travel document, not a document of citizenship. Legally, that is correct. A passport is issued under the Passports Act, while citizenship is governed by the Citizenship Act, 1955. One law regulates the document; the other regulates the legal status.

But law and public understanding are not always the same.

For most Indians, the passport is the most authoritative document the Republic issues. It bears the name of the Republic of India, carries the holder’s identity, and is accepted around the world because foreign governments trust that India has verified the bearer’s nationality before issuing it. It is therefore entirely understandable that many people asked: if a passport is not proof of citizenship, then what is?

The answer requires some nuance.

A passport does not create citizenship. Nor is it the legal instrument that finally determines citizenship if that status is challenged before a court. Like many democracies, India distinguishes between citizenship law and passport law. In rare cases involving fraud, disputed parentage or illegal acquisition, citizenship may have to be established through the provisions of the Citizenship Act and supporting evidence. That is why a passport is not regarded in law as conclusive proof in every conceivable circumstance.

But that should not be confused with its practical significance.

A passport is issued only after the Government has satisfied itself that the applicant is entitled to one. In everyday life, and in international travel, it is the strongest evidence of Indian nationality that most citizens will ever possess. Nothing said by the MEA changes that. No immigration officer abroad will suddenly regard an Indian passport with suspicion because of a legal clarification made in New Delhi.

The episode does, however, remind us of a larger challenge.

India’s systems of civil registration developed unevenly over many decades. Millions of older Indians were born when birth registration was incomplete. Names were recorded differently across school certificates, land records and electoral rolls. The painful experience of the Assam NRC showed how documentary inconsistencies can create profound hardship when citizenship itself becomes the subject of legal scrutiny.

The lesson, therefore, is not that passports have somehow lost their value. It is that India needs stronger and more comprehensive civil registration, universal birth registration and reliable archival records so that citizenship can never become hostage to missing or inconsistent paperwork.

Sometimes a legally precise statement can create unnecessary public anxiety if it is not accompanied by explanation. A better way of putting it might have been this:

A passport is issued only after the Government has verified that the applicant is an Indian citizen. While citizenship itself is governed by the Citizenship Act, the passport remains the Republic’s most trusted document for international travel and, in ordinary life, the clearest evidence of Indian nationality.

That is both legally accurate and reassuring. The law need not be diluted, but neither should public confidence in one of the Republic’s most important documents.

To distil the argument:

A passport is issued because the Government has satisfied itself that you are an Indian citizen. It is therefore powerful evidence of citizenship in ordinary life and in international travel. But in a legal dispute over citizenship itself, the governing law remains the Citizenship Act, and a passport is not conclusive proof that overrides all other evidence

It means a number of things

-High truth preference
-Forceful severity - straight talking
-Incisiveness - surgical insights
-General ruthlessness/intolerance for nonsense, inconsistency, unaccountability and obfuscation

Basically all things which are threat-coded to feminine fragility, but which in their order bringing constitute masculine beauty in their vigour, tenderness being the feminine side of man's beauty.

So from a woman's point of view, these things are desirable in a lover/protector because they would be wielded in service of her, but are otherwise generally deemed threatening because they constitute a form of confrontation (which she is prone to avoid) and policing (when she seeks to avoid accountability).

This is why low trust/resentful women cannot read something like this without parsing it as "abuse" - because they have such an inherently damaged relationship with the masculine, they cannot see it as anything but this. This is also why when they cosplay as masculine, they just become arrogant and mean - because to them, masculinity is just some caricatured mode of cruelty. They, unfortunately, fail to see the beauty in man, and in doing so, become all the uglier for it.

Saves ~40k liters of diesel per train trip! Astonishing!

[Manas Muduli @manas_muduli]

Double-stack container trains are redefining freight transportation in India.

Just imagine how many trucks this keeps off our highways and how much diesel it saves.

The best part? This entire train is hauled by an electric locomotive.

The field was undone
Now done
The foundations were shaky
Now firm
It took lifetimes yes
And aeons perhaps
But the deed was done
To what end ye ask
To prepare the ground
Where wildflowers bloom and abound
And shine in the armor of the talented
And righteous ambition
And love and all things nice
