Low-cost, good-quality higher education has been completely destroyed in India. IITs, NITs, IIMs, NLS have fees comparable to private universities. And places like DU, JNU which are still relatively affordable, has had their faculty & curriculum gutted by the sangh

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

We must resist the normalization of mass death. I am asking you to look directly at what is happening in the world and call it what it is.
If we become comfortable with the suffering of others, we should not be surprised when that same indifference reaches our own doorstep.

if you are not enjoying your book, you are free to close it and never open it again. even if it's a classic that everyone loved. a book has one job, it literally only has to be interesting. if it's not, have no guilt about not finishing it.

Capitalism: science has invented a new business chair that electrocutes you if you think about your wife

Religion's strongest force isn't faith. It's fear.
Remove the fear from people, and you'll realize the faith was never there.

[Bae Guevara @Kaimandante]

A lot of ppl think they can build a safe haven under capitalism and thats why they don’t want to join together to fight for a better world.

This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:

“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”

[Megha @megha_lilly]

Homer and Dostoevsky have this in common: they describe human nature rather than moralize. And their descriptions, although couched in fictional stories, are devastatingly accurate.

This is what makes them superior to most writers.

The more you study African history, the more you realize that the story is not just one of oppression it's also a story of kingdoms, scholars, traders, inventors, warriors, resistance, and survival.

I sometimes feel that India is a dictatorship masquerading as a democracy.
