Now the whole country knows they're not protecting Gyanesh Kumar.

It's much easier to be a good a person if you are not living in India (subcontinent).
India is such a tough, toxic place to just survive (let alone prosper) that it hardens the nicest of people, it makes you callous.
Hence I have infinite respect for Indians who manage to maintain their empathy, kindness, integrity in that hellhole, because India punishes kind, empathetic, honest people.
And there are many, many Indians like that. Many of you, my mutuals/followers. God bless you.
The single biggest achievement of these student protests is that dehat has been pushed back.
Dehat had been mainstreamed so completely that it became the default setting.
The regressiveness. The false bravado. The permanent scowl, the performative rage, the uncouth and uncivilised men and women who think being loud makes them right.
Dehat isn't a place, it's a state of mind.
These kids brought the cool back. Young, hip and irreverent.
The cool is back.
One reason that Astrology survives in India because it is liability insurance for decision makers. When parents pick the groom and the marriage struggles, someone has to carry the blame, and the kundli exists so the stars can absorb it instead of the family.
