Irrespective of El Niño or any other climate pattern, the Western Ghats region receives abundant southwest monsoon rainfall almost every year due to its geography and orographic effect. Yet here we are at just 20°C at the end of June. This monsoon has been something else. 🌧️❄️
@goldenhues018 Thanks for clarifying. My reply was based on the wording of the original tweet, which specifically says "Hindu men." If your point was about a subset of disrespectful atheists rather than Hindu men in general, then we're talking about different things.
@muwt@judesadvocate Post your experience all you want. The moment you use it to make sweeping claims about an entire country, it becomes open to scrutiny.
@judesadvocate All this hate just because I'm defending my country while still acknowledging its issues. Every country has problems acknowledging them doesn't justify stereotyping an entire nation.
@zebracough@judesadvocate You can say, "I don't feel safe in many places in India" without turning that into "India is nothing but a hellhole." Those are two different claims.
@zebracough@judesadvocate Mate, I've been outside for 7+ years. Yes, harassment exists and it's unacceptable. But you're taking real incidents and turning them into a claim about every Indian man and the entire country.
@Meeraashrink@judesadvocate Those numbers highlight a serious problem, not proof that every place in India is equally unsafe or that every Indian is the problem. Statistics deserve nuance, not sweeping stereotypes.
@SaritaGupt78931@judesadvocate Touch some grass, boss. Criticizing real issues is one thing; painting 1.4 billion people with the same brush is just lazy.
@muwt@judesadvocate Exactly, people can tweet whatever they want, and people can question unverified anecdotes, especially when they're used to label an entire country. Freedom of speech works both ways.
It's sad to see targeted propaganda on Elon's X that portrays India as nothing more than slums and poverty.
India has challenges, like every nation, but reducing a civilization of 1.4 billion people, world-class cities, technology, culture, nature, and innovation to a few selective clips is dishonest.
For someone who presents himself as a scientist, technologist and talks like philosopher, there should be an understanding that a country cannot be judged by its worst streets alone.
If we're showing reality, show all of it the beautiful, the difficult, and everything in between.
And to @nikitabier X's moderation team: accounts get suspended for minor issues like uploading older videos yet coordinated misinformation and misleading narratives continue to spread unchecked. That's disappointing.
I hope one day you'll see India with clearer eyes.
