Very disappointed with Samsung AC service. Complaint pending for over 10 days, yet not serviced. The local service person in Balasore kept delaying and doesn't even answer calls. This is unacceptable. Please resolve this urgently. #Samsung #CustomerService #ACService

It's a pity that Gayatri Chakraborty Spivak made a big deal about the pronunciation of Du Bois name!
The beauty of any language is the unique sounds attached to the alphabets. Those unfamiliar with it are bound to make a "mistake".

"J" is pronounced as "Kha" in Spanish. That's why Jesus is pronounced as "Khesus".

Similarly, "J" is pronounced as "Y" in Dutch and German. That's why most Indias pronounce the name Jan Breman - a known labour scholar - as Jan (जान) and not "Yan".

I learned about these differences during my time at Oxford and later in Göttingen. In my mother tongue Marathi, the sound for ळ alphabet is foreign to most Indians. Most of them rely on the use of the sound ल for ळ. It is precisely for the reason, Gayatri should have focussed on the question - irrespective of the caste status of the one asking it.

Sadly, Gayatri avoided the question by picking on pronunciation. Her recourse to the technicality of the pronunciation only highlights the cheap and snobbish display of caste and class superiority. Such responses are common when the question makes the speaker uncomfortable as it has the potential to expose their privileges.

@GemsOfINDOLOGY Untouchability, jati pratha, dining restrictions started from there? Upper castes learnt it from Europeans? Why are people still continuing it even after independence one wonders.

How big is the Electoral Bonds Scam?

Electoral Bonds have enabled corruption, crony capitalism and fraud at multiple levels. It has spread like cancer.

This thread will show you how far this cancer has spread 🧵

Even after raising complaints, going through all their tiresome phone calls, @Flipkart, @flipkartsupport has still not resolved my issue. Is phone exchange a scam! They said I am to get a gift card of the exchange value but it is still not credited. What do I do!

Compare & contrast! Attacking "civilian infrastructure, especially electricity, are war crimes. Cutting off men, women, children of water, electricity and heating with winter coming - these are acts of pure terror". UNLESS the attacker is Israel. Then it's NOT terror!?@?!!!

When Adani’s coal left Indonesia its value was $ 1.9 mn.
When it reached Mundra, Gujarat it’s value was $ 4.3 mn.

Wish us mere mortals knew this secret magic of doubling your money in the middle of Indian Ocean too. 😔

Mohammad Isaar was lynched after he ate Prasad at a temple in Delhi.

Attackers tied him to pole, and beat him up with sticks for hours.

Will any political leader visit his family and fight for the justice?

You are right, Zero percentile does not mean Zero Marks will also mean minus marks. Students who have scored -40 also are eligible as per this despicable zero percentile criteria.
It is the BJP which is insulting every medical graduate and aspirants by imposing NEET. #BanNEET
