नक्की वाचा #म #मराठी Image
जसं व्हिपी सिंगने १५ ऑगस्टला OBC आरक्षणाची घोषणा केली तस देशभरामध्ये आणि खासकरून उत्तर भारतात याच्यावर तीव्र प्रतिक्रिया उमटल्या.👇
१)मंडल आयोगाने अहवाल बनवताना आधार म्हणुन १९३१ ची जनगणना वापरली ज्याला अनेकांनी विरोध केला.कारण १९३१ ला जो समाज मागास होता तो आता मागास असेलच अस नाही
उदा.
**यादव समाज:-
पुर्वी यादव मागास होते पण देश स्वतंत्र झाल्यानंतर UP, Bihar मध्ये यादवांचा राजकीय प्रभाव भयंकर वाढला होता.पण मंडल आयोगानुसार यादव मागास आहेत.
**जाट समाज:-
राजस्थान,हरयाणामधील जाट समाज शैक्षणिकदृष्ट्या मागास असला तरी सामाजिकदृष्ट्या प्रचंड प्रभावशाली होता. Image

I’ve been focusing on #Pakistan and #CPEC recently, but wanted to tell you all about this article on #India that @WilfriedSwenden and I published recently. In it we assess Lijphart’s claim that India should be coded as consociational 1/n. rdcu.be/b0eGR/n
Wilfried and I aren't the first ones to do this but we use new data, some from @TCPD_Ashoka to assess power sharing in #India in relation to #religion #caste, #territory and #language 2/n
In relation to the Union #Cabinet we find that #Muslims are under-represented according to their proportion of the population and that this is getting worse 3/n #India Deviation from proportionality in Indian cabinet based on religion 1947-2018

In the early part of the first millennium CE, the #IndoEuropean language known as Proto-#Germanic diverged into an East branch (which included #Gothic) and a Northwest branch.

Northwest then split into West and North branches when Proto-#Norse developed in #Scandinavia. Image
Until the 8th century, #Germanic #languages, including Proto-#Norse, were written in Elder Futhark, the earliest #runic #alphabet.

The name #Futhark comes from the initial phonemes in the names of the first six #runes:
ᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ
F U Þ A R K

By the beginning of the #Viking Age around 800 CE, Proto-#Norse had evolved into Old Norse, and #Scandinavia's writing system transitioned from the 24 #runes of Elder #Futhark to Younger Futhark's 16 runes.

The #Swedish #Sparlösa #Runestone from ~800 CE features both #alphabets. Image
