1. Wrong

There is no such thing as "Urdu grammar".Even the word Urdu as a language did not exist until 1800. Before 1800, Urdu itself was referred to as "Hindi".Urdu is Hindi in Arabic script without Tatsamas

Hindi is written in Nagari which was used even before birth of Islam.
2. The word Urdu as a language first appears in the couplet of poet Mashafi (c.1800). Before this poet, Urdu itself as a name of language was was unheard of

[ Source: A house divided: the origin and development of Hindi/Hindavi by Amrit Rai. Oxford University Press 1984]
3. It takes a special kind of idiocy to claim that Hindi adopted Devanagari from Marathi. Until recently, Marathi used to be written only in Modi script. It was in 1917 that Bombay presidency officially adopted Devanagari for convenience and uniformity

1100 years before Sher Shah Suri, Kumaragupta issued silver coins and called them Rupaka. Copper coins were called Padamsas. 64 Padamsas equaled one Rupaka and 16 Rupakas equaled one Dinara. Stop giving false credit to invaders for every indigenous Indian invention
Here is a Silver Rupaka coin issued by Kumaragupta (courtesy. Pankaj Tandon Collection). Kumaragupta who although a Vaishnava was a devotee of Kumara (Skanda) and depicted Peacock on his coins.

Gupta Silver coins were first issued by Chandragupta Vikramaditya after Saka conquest
Which makes me wonder why everything is credited to Sher Shah. Like the Grand Trunk Road

This will be my last interaction with this person who could be a handler from Vatican for all I know. Not that I owe this two bit plagiarist any explanation, but this is for others. @chandrapida1 and I are good friends. We also had our fights and our vehement disagreements.(1)
This was back in September when @Chandrapida1 had requested me for SS when he was blocked by a rabid AIT theorist (he was on mobile). I obliged . We are good personal friends along with @vajrayudha11 and @handle_anonymus. We have all met each other in real personal lives (2)
Dimple Ji @DimpleAtra has also met both of us personally . Now I ask. Who is @joeagneya. Has anyone met him in personal life and does anyone know him? why is he relentless attacking me and hurling accusations at my character. Is he just jealous or a malicious Trojan horse?

Hey @nehadixit123,

These women asked a boon from Goddess Bhakdrakali than Lord Krishna give them attention. Krishna did not do anything without consent.

He was not a sexual predator like your boss at @thewire_in . He was nothing like those shameless employees who serve rapists.
I have been told that Wire Owners have only been accused of molestation and the charges have not been proven. So, the wire employees are serving potential molesters. Not that it really makes any difference , but I am putting it out as a clarification
Gopis perform Katyayani Vrata for a month and ask Goddess Bhadrakali to make Krishna their husband. Krishna only had to fulfill the word given by Goddess Bhadrakali to these Gopis

Bhagavata 10.22

There's no such thing as a "gene for language". A Tweetorial to help explain why. In one branch of human genetics we search for correlations between particular gene variants that people carry and variations in an observed trait (normal variability and/or pathology)...1/9
"A gene for X" has become convenient shorthand to talk about associations between variation at these distant levels (genes & traits). This fuels a popular misconception of genes as abstract entities that can directly specify traits, including key aspects of human behaviour...2/9
What do genes really do? Many carry info for building proteins - strings of amino acids that fold into specific 3D structures with distinct jobs. Your genome has >20,000 such genes, encoding the molecular machinery of a cell (enzymes, signals/receptors, transporters, etc)...3/9

There’s no such thing as a “startup inside of a big company.”

This misnomer actively misleads both big company employees working in such teams as well as people toiling in actual startups.

Despite all best efforts to create megacorp “startups”, they can never exist. Here's why:
(And, by the way, I ran one of these “startups inside of a big company” myself and at the time thought it was basically a startup.

We had a cool name. We were small, lean, and agile and dreaming about the future and had a $50,000 3D printer. This was not a startup. I was wrong.)
1) The most fundamental, pervasive background thread of an early-stage startup is that when it fails, everyone has find a new job. The company is gone, kaput, relegated to the dustbin of Crunchbase.

The company literally lives & dies on the work every employee does every day.

The 5 kinds of people You Dont Need In Your Life

1. The Lazy-These people live in a state of inertia

They can be “nice” people, and “good” people, but they will never be successful people in anything.

They live to survive, not thrive
You spend too much time around these people, your energy will start falling to their energy

And they are energy vampires, because you’ll always feel obligated to “lift them up”, but they live to stay stuck, and your efforts will be futile
2. The Venomous-These are the people who live on bitterness, ill will, and resentment

They’ve got dark hearts, & their core is driven by hate & self loathing

Their motivation comes from getting back at someone, or something. Life is a 0 sum game to them

Not to be too extra but... UK theatre history is made today, as @1xtra the BBC 'urban' music station set up in 2002, broadcast their first radio dramas #withalittlebitofluck & #quarterlifecrisis!! Here's thoughts on how that happened & how exciting writing what u love can be...
It is tempting to write what others ask/want (*pay*) you to, course sometimes there is no choice. Making a career out of writing scripts means most have to do this at some point. But what if nobody wants to pay you to write what you really want to write about?
In 2011 nobody wanted to pay me to write about strip clubs, but I had to write about this world that I kept seeing totally misrepresented in every script ever. So I took other jobs (writing & nightclubs) that allowed me to work on & self produce my solo show Dry Ice at #EdFringe

The mistake you're making, I think, is expecting Leftists to answer on principles. They don't give any indication of believing in principles. There are no good things and bad things, only people doing things to others and so you must understand who is doing what to whom.
So asking whether Obama did something wrong reads as a category error. Obama is good, thus things he does are good.
And likewise when Republicans do the exact same thing, it is bad because they are bad. There's no such thing as "principled behavior for everyone", there're only actions that help good people against bad people and actions that help bad people against good.

A lot of other people have said this, but to echo: there's no such thing as "I would never say that racial slur, except I got drunk."
Or "except I got angry."
Or "except I was under a lot of stress."
