Yoga is a Hindu practice.
It is one of the six major schools of orthodox philosophical thought in Hinduism.
To deny it's roots and delink it from Hinduism is cultural appropriation.
We are watching the rise of the nouveau Khalistani. Day by day, week by week, month by month. More visuals and incidents. More visible brandishing of swords, which go far beyond the kirpan as an article of faith.
A sitting CM being chastised by the head of a religious institution who filmed it and released it. Showing exactly who is boss in a secular state. Daily marches, processions, glorification of terrorists, and a thinly and poorly disguised campaign of faith based targeting, and "othering".
We are seeing actual targeted killings too. What started as stray beadbi related lynchings, have now moved on to hit jobs.
Such a rise, must NOT go unchecked by the state. The peace in Punjab was hard won.
The state must not allow it to slip away.
I get how Sikhism functions. But the look of an elected CM being summoned by a religious body to explain his behaviour in a democracy is just not cool. I am not an AAP voter. Heck I dislike that party and Bhagwant Mann. But in modern India we should find this kind of stuff to be unwarranted. A chief minister is only answerable to the constitution and his electorate. Not to some random religious body. And I would have the same problem if the CM was a Hindu or a Muslim or a Christian.

Douyin, weibo, bilibilli all are scrubbing posts with caste tizhiwai, tizhinei, Jianmin, etc within minutes of posting from yesterday.
Qianlong and Guancha have published a warning against manufacturing class antagonism.
I think this has gone places.
Anyone who blindly believed this was a fool then, and is a fool now. No country which is aiming to go from ~$4 Tn to $10 Tn GDP can hope that others will give it tech and weapons to achieve this. (Unless elites within are compromised and fooling others - which is true for India.)
Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive?
Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members?
Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now?
This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.
Good that at least the issue has reached Trump, and he cares enough to lie about it.
This also shows that sometimes protests or clearly stating your displeasure—no matter how symbolic—can have some effect. If you never assign weight to it yourself, why would others do it?
Army Officer Captain Bharat Bhardwaj allegedly violated military decorum and protocol by proposing to his fiancee in uniform during a Passing Out Parade-like ceremony in front of military equipment. The Army expressed displeasure, calling the act inappropriate in timing, place, and tradition: Army Sources
In the 2100s either you will suffer American and Chinese surveillance or you will suffer Indian surveillance
The choice is ours to make
the importance of deeptech today is very very similar to nuclear tech 50 yrs ago
the sheer amount of stupidity im seeing in replies after supporting palantir and making some osint tools is insane. ive been researching about osint formally from ages now — and i don't support using osint to hurt marginalized communities (im myself queer). it's just sad that some people don't realize how big of an engineering feat commercial level defense-tech is.
He is correct here. If you're arguing against it, you're basically the same people opposing India having nuclear weapons in 1960s.
Countries that don't have a Palantir will get steamrolled by the ones that do.
you can litter/piss/make your pet shit on roads and hardly anyone bats an eye. but one small romantic gesture towards your partner is all it takes to bring out worst in Indian societies. those who have never even seen the gates of ssb center are teaching discipline to this officr
Read quotes. Middle class moralising monkes screeching about him not putting his parents first or even having a girlfriend(distraction REEEEEE). Saale ganwaars. Why would his parents object to him locking down his woman as wife? Productive people getting married is eugenic. Contrary to popular perception, this is not new either. Previous generations officers also had girlfriends and it was not uncommon to propose in this manner. Steady gf is not laundiyabaazi. Moreover Armed Forces Officers are not superhumans. They have the same desires as us.
Like bro, do y'all understand how much we have to build?? This whole thing needs to be a fucking city with skyscrapers, criss-crossed with mass public transit like Tokyo and Moscow, multiple HUGE public parks and we must drive house prices to 0 by just building more and more
