The AQI monitor hit the maximum recordable reading in about 20 seconds. There’s no doubt that the actual AQI is much higher. Yet the government app shows the pollution to be ‘only’ 361. All this just to avoid further GRAP restrictions? @CPCB_OFFICIAL
This is why I keep asking RW to cool it with Gukesh Kanging over every victory. This is the template - Top chess players participate in a tournament, Gukesh plays extremely well the first day (maybe beats Magnus or Hikaru or caruana). RW spams it across internet kanging over it and on day 4 the tournament ends with Magnus winning it. We come across as Pakistani cricket fans jerking off over small wins instead of winning the tournament. For the last time - MAGNUS IS NOT JEALOUS OF GUKESH , HE IS BETTER THAN GUKESH. THERE IS NO RACISM. MAGNUS IS COCKY BECAUSE HE WINS EVERY TOURNAMENT HE PLAYS IN ,INCLUDING THE ONE WHERE HE LOST HIS COOL AFTER LOSING TO GUKESH. HIKARU IS A SHOWMAN CLIP FARMER WHO’S STEP DAD IS LITERALLY A SRI LANKAN DUDE NAMED SUNIL. He isn’t racier either and throwing the king was part of the marketing. STOP SETTING UP GUKESH BY OVER DOING THE KANGING. Follow chess instead of basing your opinions from a 10 second clip posted by Rwfarmers with a blue tick. There’s plenty of love abroad for Indian players please don’t set them up by being over obnoxious when you don’t even follow the chess world.
A lot of Indians complain about internal migration. Every chat puja (ahem) brings out the regular moaning about people moving from Bihar to Delhi, UP to Mumbai, Bengal to Bangalore.
But you know what the opposite looks like? China’s hukou system.
It’s worth understanding, because it shows exactly why we should never wish for it.
The hukou is a household registration system. It ties a person’s right to live, work, study, and access healthcare to their birthplace. If you’re born in a small town, that’s your “official home”. Even if you move to Beijing or Shanghai, the state still considers you a rural resident.
Sounds harmless? It’s not.
Without an urban hukou, millions of Chinese migrant workers can’t access city schools for their kids, public housing, healthcare, or many jobs. They build the cities, but they’re never allowed to belong there or benefit from their labour.
Imagine being born in Bihar and moving to Mumbai for work, but your kids can’t go to school there, you can’t get a hospital bed, and you have to travel home to vote or access welfare.
That’s what hukou does. It freezes opportunity by birthplace.
China introduced it in the 1950s to control rural-to-urban migration. It worked (maybe too well). Even today, about 300 million people live in cities where they have no legal rights to basic public services. That’s nearly the entire population of the U.S.
So when you see Indians moving across states, yes, it strains infrastructure. Yes, it creates cultural friction. But it’s also freedom in motion. People can chase opportunity, learn languages, marry across regions, and build better lives without needing state permission.
India’s internal migration story is proof of mobility. The alternative sounds elegant in theory, but is absolute economic control: cities that stay rich, villages that stay poor, and people who can never cross that line.
So the next time you complain that “outsiders are taking jobs” or “our city is too crowded”, please remember that the ability to move freely across your own country is a privilege billions don’t have. Can we do better? Of course we can. Are migrants in India constantly mistreated? Yes of course and we need stronger support systems.
But it IS a privilege we call a right.
Protect it. Don’t wish it away. 🇮🇳
She’s an absolute academic weapon btw - IITD, IIMB, UPSC (IAS), was an Associate in JP Morgan.
It’s tragic how the corrupt part of legislative wing doesn’t let the administrative wing work, & vice-versa in rest of the cases - people of this country remain the ultimate victims.
Turns out, 32 year old UPSC aspirant had recorded indecent videos of Amrita without her consent that he was using to blackmail her. His hard drive had inappropriate photos of 15 other women
No points for guessing that this deliberate omission to serve a narrative is by a MRAcel.
In these lands once Lalleshwari roamed, spreading the nuance of Trika Shaivism. She had discarded clothes because she found no use for them. Lal ded transcended gender by shedding body consciousness and inspiring female empowerment. O land of Lalleshwari, what have 700 years of darkness and illiteracy done to you :(
There's no way this random youtuber found out about this festival on his own when 99.9% of the Indians themselves don't know about this. There's an Indian out there who messaged him hey I have something your racist mind would be interested in
This is deadass a politician from India’s progressive political parties that was in charge of women’s welfare. These people are not liberals, but children of feudal lords larping as progressives.
