Unlike the much exaggerated Sati, the Chinese Xunjie or Widow Suicide system killed lakhs of women.
Widows were forced to starve themselves to death or poisoned so they didn't have sex after the husband's death. The Chinese society built thousands of arches (called Paifamg) to glorify the practice.
But literally nobody even knows about it today because information & media are frauds. Hence we must share it.
Like it or not, the reality is this: Trump negotiated for PERSONAL INTERESTS, and Iran negotiated like a GANG. The individual and the gang got their deal,but BOTH nations LOST.
There is a new scam by @IndiGo6E these days.
When you web check-in, they don’t show any free seat options to select.
If you skip seat selection and choose auto-assigned seating, they say you'll receive your boarding pass by email around 4 hours before departure. In my case, it never arrived.
When I called customer care to ask why the boarding pass wasn't sent, they told me that auto-assigned seating can only be done 12 hours before departure. If it isn't assigned by then, the airport has to allocate the seat. They also said they have no way to contact the airport.
So you are forced to reach the airport at least 1 hour early for physical check-in. If you arrive close to the check-in cutoff, they may refuse to issue a boarding pass and say you missed the check-in deadline.
Technically, there are no FREE seats for web check-in.
Everybody is out here scamming common people because apparently there’s nowhere for us to go and complain. Well done!
Indian-origin Rushabh Patel gave his life saving two strangers in the UK.
28-year-old Rushabh was enjoying a picnic with his wife Mili and 18-month-old daughter Vrumi when he saw two people struggling in the water near Milton Keynes.
Without hesitation, he jumped in to save them. Rushabh suffered a cardiac arrest during the rescue and tragically passed away days later.
Even in death, he saved 5 more lives through organ donation.
Yet don't expect this story to dominate global headlines. Acts of extraordinary courage by Indians rarely receive the same attention that anti-India narratives do.
MOSSADIL COMMENTARY: WINNERS AND LOSERS
This was not a deal.
It was an MOU.
It does not resolve the core issues that triggered the war between Israel and Iran.
Israel was not part of the signing.
Israel is not part of the ongoing negotiations.
Israel is an independent country, and it has both the right and the obligation to act according to its own national interests.
BIGGEST WINNER: The Iranian regime.
Not because they are strong.
Because they survived.
Because the world rewarded them for starting a war, threatening global shipping, firing on Israel, and holding their own people hostage.
They shifted the global conversation.
They turned much of the world against Israel — and, more importantly, pushed the United States from focusing on Israel’s safety and security to protecting the survival of the Iranian regime.
BIGGEST LOSER: The Iranian people.
They were promised freedom.
They were told help was coming.
And once again, they were left behind.
LOSER: Trump.
This could have been his Berlin Wall moment.
Instead, it is becoming his Chamberlain moment.
Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.
CHINA ELIMINATES 12,000 ‘OBSOLETE’ UNIVERSITY DEGREES IN PUSH TO PREPARE FOR THE AI ERA
CHINESE UNIVERSITIES SCRAP 12,000 DEGREE PROGRAMS AS AI RESHAPES JOB MARKET DEMANDS
Qatar has proposed a $12 billion package for Iran to break the deadlock in talks: $6 billion would come from releasing Iran’s frozen funds in Qatar, while another $6 billion would be provided as a loan or credit line.
The previously agreed restrictions on the $6 billion released funds—limiting them to humanitarian spending under the 2023 Iran-U.S. framework—would remain in place.
Iran would be able to decide how to use the additional $6 billion credit facility.

Indians are blaming Infy/Murthy/Nandan for a lack of home-grown LLM. But that blame is misplaced. Infy/Murthy/Nandan could never start an AI company. They had money and they could have fund something. But that again, is their money and why should they risk it?
The real culprit here is Amitabh Kant and other IAS like him. These are the people, why I left India and started two companies in the US. These are the people, why much of Indian talent left to work for US based companies. And these folks did well.
Let's say the government gives me $10B and ask me to set up an AI lab in India. Am I qualified to do it? YES. Will I do it? HELL NO
And you would ask why? Some would say that I have a cozy life in the US. Some would say, I have deep connection in the US, including family. All of that is correct but does not pin point the reason why I wont start a company in India.
The real reason is Babu. Unlike, many In India who think competing for 1000 seats using some bullshit essay writing contest makes Babu some wizard, I have not come across one, I will hire as an analyst. Under no circumstance, I am gonna report to a babu (Happy report to Dharmendra Pradhan or Smriti Irani though). Also, under no circumstances, I will accept a position where I am unable to fire and put an IAS in jail if they reported to me and indulged in some corruption.
Till this babu problem is fixed, no NRI would come to India. If I were the CIA or CCP, trying to ensure that India does not gain AI independence, I would make every effort to protect Babu fiefdom.
@sreemoytalukdar Since Trump took over, India has been on their target not China which was projected to be the biggest adversary, very likely a result of Trump's family business ties with Pak and closeness to SA and Qatar
