Incessant trolling of Nirmala Sitharaman
I have come across incessant trolling (and rightly so) of Nirmala Sitharaman. But in the end Nirmala is just a yes woman for the Modi. I do not think Nirmala has even an iota of input in making economic policies in India. She has a degree in economics and that's it. From 2014 Modi has sidelined all the potential economist like Yeshwant Sinha and even Subramanium Swamy for being outspoken. His first appointee was a lawyer, ie Arun Jaitley. So when all this is done under Modi regiment, why all the trolling is towards Nirmala.
Modi is going exactly according to Indira Gandhi playbook and one of the outcome in near future would be weak and fragmented BJP (that is good thing). He has some how attained elevated status in the psyche of normal middle class (if you can call them so) Indians (especially in Hindi speaking region) like Indira when the famous slogan amongst congress lackey was "Indira is India". Some how my feed has all this finance and stock pages recommendation on reddit and all of it filled with memes of Nirmala but none on Modi.
But what is it that is making Modi immune of such trolling. Is it micromanagement of his image in the public? Is it control over the media?

Why do every failure of republic is blamed upon oppressed castes people?
Recently China showed a prototype for 6th generation fighter jets and as someone preparing for AFCAT learning about this was a shit experience. What the hell is government doing? We ain't even at 4th generation native tech. However social media all over the place put blame on reservation in DRDO etc, few of my friends too some of whom benefit from reservation think that Army is a holy institution, it is too sacred to be touched with bad spirits of social justice, DRDO should have been left out of this debate of social justice and if that had happened we had got ahead now just like we are in space(ISRO has next to no reservation).
Add to this, for most RW people reservation debates are a waste of time, a backward thinking, a distraction from real issue like manufacturing. This sentiment is common among almost all of India's defence, engineering, CS, IT, Manufacturing spaces. Any online discussion forum where any economic thing is discussed generally is hostile to anti-caste activists.
Some people who I personally admire for their personal achievements truly wants to insulate sciences and Army from social justice movement and blame "undeserving" people of the failures we have.

My heart is heavy today
My heart is heavy today. Dr.Singh, a person I look up to, a man whose silence spoke more than most speeches, who always responded with grace, reacted with facts, stuck to the point, held press conferences, always put himself in a position to be answerable to people, is no more.
He was the best student that India ever had. He was the most educated and accomplished leader that the world ever had. He was a politician that is not meant to be. India survived 1991 because Dr.Singh was born an Indian.
Way back in 2010, Our Hindi magazine was set for launch. Dr. Singh had committed to launch it. On the day of the launch, he was fighting a desperate battle on the women’s reservation bill in the parliament. His office called me to say that the then HRD minister, Mr.Kapil Sibal would launch it. I said NO. It was either Dr. Singh or none. Our English magazine was launched by Dr. Kalam. Both, living examples of how they believed in education, pursued it despite the most difficult circumstances and beat every odd to become the most powerful people in India. All because of EDUCATION. That is what CAREERS360 stands for and I wasn’t willing to attribute that DNA to any other politician.
Hearing my argument, he took out time in the middle of a parliamentary session and launched Careers360.
There hasn’t been and will ever be a more knowledgeable and dignified and a humble man to sit on that throne than Dr. Singh.
Good bye sir. You are moving to a better world. Hopefully, a world that would judge you well and be kinder to you.

The attitude towards interracial relationships in this country is frightening
“Bro saved 6000”
“Pink”
“Ab toh raat ko roz aawaz aegi”
These are some of the comments on an interracial couple’s(Indian man, white woman) instagram. The absolute filth that’s the Indian manosphere is just abhorrent. I checked some of these commenters and it’s wild that they don’t even hide behind a fake profile anymore. It’s all out there. And most of them seem “educated” enough to know better but clearly not.
The urge to appear “dank” and cheap internet has ruined a generation of people.truly rotten. Go to some desi subreddits and you’ll see it there as well.
I’m in an interracial relationship myself and every time I bring my partner to India, I invariably find someone creeping on her. I have to be on guard 24*7 to make sure she’s safe. I can see it in their eyes what they’re thinking and it’s just scary af.

Many people vote for BJP to keep "certain kinds" out of power
Early this month I had a conversation with a Yadav girl, she told me her family voted for Yogi ji in 2022 only because they fear Muslims, they do not want Muslims in power. I also know a people who voted for BJP in Haryana only to keep Jats out of power. I can also think of why a lot of dalits shifted from BSP to BJP, may be because they don't want Yadavs in power through SP as both of these communities have had issues with one another in past and vast majority of the violence against dalits are done by intermediatory castes in UP.
My political theory is that BJP provides sense of security to a lot of people. I myself live in Haldwani which had a riot in Feb, this year. Most Punjabis and Kumaonis in Haldwani vote for BJP or INC, but the increased support towards BJP is very visible now. People seems to fear for themselves, their shops or anything for that matter, whatever stake they have in the system. They may say that BJP does not fulfill promises and failed on many fronts but atleast I am secure from "X" as long as I vote for BJP.

Why desi men of different religious beliefs do moral policing for each other?
I deleted the post I made earlier around the same topic because I thought it wasn’t well written. In deleted post, I referred to a meme depicting hypocrisy of Hindu men getting offended by a woman they deem as dressed inappropriately for worship in contrast to applauding a pandit despite him carrying out religious rituals shirtless. The reaction to that post in the sub where I originally saw it was highly negative, and men of other religious backgrounds came to defend the sexist double standards of hindu men. I also cited how a Sikh guy I worked with was bragging about telling Muslim women to observe hijab and follow their religion in right and proper manner. It’s not only restricted to misogyny. These men hold hatred for homosexuals and transgenders, too.
Now, the question, or better call it the problem is why misogyny, homophobia and other forms of bigotry ends up uniting these men who are otherwise willing enough to slit each other’s throats?
It’s amusing to notice how Muslims, and other non-Hindu men are allowed to slut-shame Hindu women when Hindu men believe that they have committed a transgression against local/traditional customs of religious or non-religious nature.
There’s a broad agreement between the majority of south asians on how to structure a society, and what kind of behaviour is acceptable. Our cultural traditions are highly patriarchal. One such is high preference for male children. We have good number of people or families who actually mourn the birth of girls and transsexuals. The cultural traditions promote subjugation of certain groups. It doesn’t really matter what god they pray to.
It doesn’t make any sense for a Hindu to tell a Muslim that he’s missing his prayer, and shall quickly head to the mosque to offer it. It doesn’t make any sense for a Muslim to reprimand a christian for missing Sunday prayer at church. These people aren’t subscribed to the same moral or theological frameworks. They all can’t be right, but they all can be wrong.
The gulf we witness between muslims and Hindus is less of social and more of theological nature. If islam is puritanical, then so is Hinduism.

Partition of Bengal and migration of Bengali fron Bangladesh to India
So, I've one classmate and similar to what happens to every other college friendship after a certain point, that one fine day you find out they're 'neutral', same thing happened to me. So he'd say some bizzare things like why do I take side with Palestinians and post about marginalisation of muslims whereas I don't say anything about Bangladeshi hindus (which isn't true). The thing is since I live here I'll obviously talk about the marginalisation of minorities here that doesn't mean I support the same thing in other country. But but his argument to this is bizzare, he says since my grandparents have a history of coming to India during partition, I should be grateful to people who were original resident of Bengal!!! This feels like a cruel attack Can you argue to this?! I mean you can but there's no way it's gonna be fruitful. I have tried to make him understand that how traumatic partition experience can be! And he's like I don't understand why! His argument is when he doesn't understand something he calls it overreacting. I have stopped talking to him but he still sends me post of Bangladeshi Hindu's house getting demolished or smth of that sort!
I feel he personally hates me. How do you deal with such things?

Good intro book for Chinese history?
Hello all, was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations on a book that will give me an intro in Chinese history, something covering of course the 20th Century as well as much earlier. I never really had any proper education about East Asian history and think knowing about China would be a good place to start. If there is something of good quality but still a page turner, I'd love to know about it. Something like Bill Bryson's style would be great!
Thanks for any help you may have. I have just joined reddit so hope this is about right!

What do you people think about reservation benefits going to Hill native Savarnas?
For example in Uttarakhand, we have 70 legislative assembly seats and few of them are reserved for SC, many of the major parties' candidates there are Rajputs there cause many Rajputs in my state benefit from SC reservation. I myself have a Tripathi classmate who is an SC too. Some Rajputs I know in person are OBCs in central list. Rawats(Rajputs) of Bhotia tribes and Jaunsari Brahmins have ST status too. I guess some Gorkhas who are Kshatriya too get benefits.
I have seen many people from other marginalized castes who see this as increased competition for resources meant for them and an abuse to the system. Recently centre awarded ST status to communities in Jammu which will include some Brahmins from there, so this question comes again and again. What do you people think about this issue?
