I find this idea of an Asian century completely absurd. And yes, Indian economy exceeded the size of Europe’s four centuries ago but only because everyone lived in misery and there were more people living in misery in India
ft.com/content/520cb6…
So, no the Indian economy did not exceed Europe’s by any measure that would be intersting to anyone except the demographer. Not the economist or the historian
As for the future, it is still the case that the global economy is a triangle with three poles, two of are broadly Western. Add India and Japan, their status is ambiguous as well. It’s an Eurasian, not an Asian world

Personally I find the solution very satisfactory. Have been saying for 18 months that a customs union is the best solution. But boy how much better if two sides behaved like adults...
May in any case does not know how to conduct an international negotiation. Let’s see:
Say she agrees with Corbyn on a customs union and deal is approved. That’s only the beginning. Customs union will only work if UK gets some concessions from EU. How does she expect to get them if she starts by ruling out no deal?

Wish people would stop saying UK made a mistake in triggering Art. 50 too early. Shows great ignorance of the process
There would have been absolutely no talks with EU before Art. 50. Does anyone think two years of silence would have been politically sustainable? May delayed until the last possible moment
Would it have given the UK time to make up its mind? First the UK has made up its mind. Second, in a negotiation process it is not possible to decide anything without the other side

I fear that by creating a select club to deal with China Macron has put the final nail in the coffin of EU unity. Every leader in Europe will interpret this as carte blanche
It would be a dereliction of duty for Slovakia, Malta or Denmark not to negotiate directly with China now that they know France and Germany intend to do it in their name
I have a text on this coming out Monday. What’s happening is just catastrophic

FAITH. ECONOMY. SECURITY

The taste of ashes in Indian palates is finally being expelled after eons of disheartened spills in the sands of time.
The expressed vision of Govt to rebuild India on its Culture & 21st Century digital norms has lit a desire in each citizen.
We were hobbled for centuries by Barbarians from the North and Colonialists from the sea. No more.

In 1947 a tattered nation left deeply divided has rebuilt itself from its bootstraps to its robes.

We are now at the cusp of a $3 Trillion economy, 2019 figures.
It's an acknowledgement internationally that we are a fastest growing economy today. Our Strategic Security firmly in place by Nuclear powered Submarines on Deterrence Patrol with Armed Nuclear Missiles has placed India in the League of Major Powers. We can no longer be ignored.

Today’s a pretty special day to me, and it’s special because of a really good friend. He’s called @Daniel_Barker: it’s his birthday today, and it *still* feels odd to type his twitter handle because of what happened on this day four years ago.
In 2015, @Daniel_Barker made a joke tweet about how not enough people were wishing him a happy birthday. Daniel is a very sensitive, self-critical fellow, so this tweet was adorably out of character:
At the time I was quite depressed, and really not doing well at all. But I saw this tweet of @Daniel_Barker’s, and decided to do some weird happy birthday tweets at him. He was a funny guy I had met once or twice, and it seemed reasonable. It gave me a little spark of joy.

#RobbingGod

The story of how a death at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire set in motion a series of events and a fierce rivalry that engulfed Tirumala Tirupati Temples in such a way the reverberations of which are felt even today.

#RobbingGod

How East India Company tookover Tirumala Tirupati Temples & established rules for its plunder through the entry of their agent Mahants & establishment of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams for successive independent Indian governments to follow.

gginews.in/robbing-god-sm…
Centuries ago funds from these world’s richest temples of Tirumala Tirupati influenced not just elections of #Commonwealth but financed operations of bankrupt #BritishEmpire & setup numerous modern business houses involved in smuggling antiques even today.

OK, look, sometimes people mess up. We all have times when we mess up. We all have times when we make two or three bad errors in succession. We're human. #1/23
The @newsundayherald is one of the important institutions of Scotland's news media. Admittedly it's less important now as our new media develops, but it was a big win for #Yes when, in 2014, it nailed our colours to its mast. #2/23
However, there's two aspects to that decision: yes, @newsundayherald's decision to come on board helped the #Yes movement, but the #Yes movement repaid that with a substantial boost in sales for the @newsundayherald. #3/23

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
