Just watched a clip of Rahul Gandhi speaking to students in Kota about the mess in the exam system. It is worth talking about but could not understand why he spoke in English?? Would Hindi not have been a better choice?
While the inclusive practice of sharing and respecting pronouns is often mocked by the masses, it’s refreshing to see that @sidhant_sarthak , the teenage student, whistleblower and investigator, who exposed CBSE’s broken tender process, has his pronouns listed on his website.

"Not every STEM student is rational"
As someone who was in STEM, I'd say the majority of them aren't rational
Some of the most superstitious and bigoted people I've met are my fellow STEM students
NO
Not every humanities student is woke
And not every STEM student is rational
Many humanities students are classist casteist and misogynist
And many STEM student are irrational superstitious and dogmatic
It's lowkey racist and orientalist of how little this dude cares to actually learn about the details of the romanticized bs he's spouting with all his ignorance
In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.
May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?
Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?
In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?
The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.
It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.
Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.
Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?
India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.
@ErikSolheim How about you and I exchange our citizenships? You can be an Indian in this sorry excuse for a democracy while I can get away from what I consider a nazi state.
Question: Is North Korea a democracy since Kim Jong-un keeps winning landsliding victories there?
