@satishkumar85@the_kerala_girl Why don’t you share the proof that actually establishes he was an outsider instead of stating it as a fact without a shred of evidence? If you’re making the claim, substantiate it.
@DikshaDewanta@the_kerala_girl Wow, the desperation to defend the indefensible just to take a cheap shot at Bihar is genuinely embarrassing. You’ve let conformity bias override basic common sense and decency.
@hertinbull@sadhavi Nationalists invoked India’s past to counter the colonial claim that Indians were incapable of self-rule. They weren’t recycling British propaganda; they were reclaiming a history colonial rule tried to diminish.
@SibiEda Hindus never claimed, “You came later, so you aren’t great.” Stop the strawman and bigotry. Sanatan philosophy recognizes the One Divine and many paths to Him. Follow yours, respect ours, and stop spreading lies.
@sickularcircus As Canadian PM Carney said, “if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.” That’s diplomacy: no permanent friends or enemies, only interests. Nations cooperate where interests align—not out of sentiment.
@birdieonacid@swiftii1989 Same reality—maybe not the one you’re living in. Everyone online is claiming to be a victim of this so-called “Bihari mentality” while spreading propaganda. I was calling out hypocrisy; you’re the one who jumped in with the “wasn’t 75 years enough?” argument.
@birdieonacid@swiftii1989 We accept that Bihar has its issues. That doesn’t give anyone the right to smear Bihar, propagate propaganda against its people, and then play the victim when someone holds up a mirror to that hypocrisy.
@birdieonacid@swiftii1989 I’m not defending it. You were the one arguing that 75 years weren’t enough, so I pointed out that perhaps you should work on your own house before commenting on others with half-baked knowledge.
@birdieonacid@swiftii1989 The numbers show how concentrated that prosperity is: Mumbai alone contributed 19.8% of Maharashtra’s GSDP in 2023–24; Mumbai, Thane and Pune together accounted for 46%.
@birdieonacid@swiftii1989 Nobody started from the same place. Maharashtra had Mumbai—the financial capital—along with major ports, established industry and decades of accumulated capital.
@kHiller__@SatishRayX Coming from another state with high child-marriage incidence and serious social violence, spare us the moral grandstanding. Condemn the criminal, but don’t smear an entire state with your bigotry.
@ki_lla23750 People migrate for opportunities, not just “safety”—just like Maharashtrians who move across India and abroad. By your logic, they lose the right to speak the moment they cross a border.
@theexwhogothot Maturity is realizing when a mongrel of an argument is peddling propaganda, then watching it mistake its own barking for intellectual substance.
