“Chamatta, tu yahan biryani bekega. Haath jod”
Epidemic yes, but I have two questions.
1. What part of this is because of reservations?
2. How deep was this caste divide 50 years ago?
swarajyamag.com/politics/its-a…
Why 50 years? Because that's when caste politics got mainstreamed and Naxalite movement erupted. For example, take Ranveer Sena. Why was it formed and what has it become?
Can we do a sincere dissection of this problem called caste atrocity and do a comparative study of this across religion and geography? Not just a comparative study. We need to understand how brutal it was as compared to the contemporary world and what were the seeds of discord.
Also, we need to place this on a relative scale of treatment. The below can be some benchmarks. ImageImage

You compare San Fransisco and India like this. ImageImage
You don't compare San Fransisco and Mumbai like this. Why? ImageImage
So, what's the trigger? Image

Let me present you a situation. There is an ancient kingdom of which we know nothing. This kingdom was invaded and subjugated. Now, the one who conquered it changed it's religion completely and wrote it's history in a way that the new religion existed always.
We land in a situation where archeology gives us only ruins, all old literature and all old references wiped out(sometimes violently) and the new country hates it's old culture. I am not talking about Christian Europe or Islamic Arabia. I am talking about Tibet.
One image is enough to tell you the extent to which Tibet divorced itself from it's past. This is Goddess Srin Mo, who is a personification of Tibet. When she resisted introduction of Buddhism into Tibet, she was pinned to the ground with Buddhist temples.

This table confuses me massively. Let's assume all the Proto-Indo-European languages are descended from the same root. No problem there. Now, let's also assume there is an AIT because of which Telugu and Marathi are from different language families.
#AryanInvasionTheory
But, then, why is Mundari different from Dravidian? Are we saying that just like Aryans came and imposed their language and culture on India, are we saying Dravidians also did the same on Mundari Tribes?
If that's the case, how is it possible that Munda territory is located between Aryan and Dravidian lands, and not on the other side of Dravidian lands? What do we know of Dravidian Invasion Theory and it's impact on Mundas?

Why is the world interested in Armenia? Because of it’s newsworthiness. What interests me? Prince Vahan, who led the Byzantines at Yarmouk to their disastrous defeat, a footnote in Armenian history and a behemoth in Byzantine history. Anyways.
In fact, Armenia is the last surviving relic of the Byzantine Empire. Before looking into it’s history, it makes much sense for one to look at the historic Armenian homelands – not their claims and super-claims but at Armenia created as a part of Treaty of Sevres.
Just look at that green line. Armenia of Woodrow Wilson is more than 10 times that of the current Armenia!! Now, jumping into history. Armenian Highlands had settlements and cultures from the Neolithic Era.

De mortuis nil nisi bonum. But, may be, we should use the word Banyan Tree his sister used for #SPBalasubramanyam in a different context. Simply put, he didn't allow anyone to grow. Neither his siter Sailaja nor his son Charan got any support from him.
One can understand not promoting those without talent. But, shouldn't he have supported them after they proved their worth? Literally, no one knew that those great songs from Varsham or Manasantha Nuvve or Murari are sing by him. What went wrong?
Ultimately, his son wasn't able to compete with his father and left Telugu industry. Both Sailaja and Charan could have achieved more. Look at Krishna or ANR or NTR. Yes. It's nepotism. But, that's how life works. Charan's personal life was a disaster.

Paucity of time. This is not going to be regular.
My name is Bianfu Tang. I am from Mojiang in Yunnan, a mining town. My family is very poor and I had no option but to enroll in the army. The default posting for any person from my area is Western Tibet. It is a happy job.
All we need to do is go there, pass time for two years and come back. There is one more important thing. You get dong chong xia cao very cheap there. In fact, during summer, that's how we pass time - by growing it. It doesn't look good but tastes really well.
Every soldier coming back from Tibet brings at least 5kg dong chong xia cao and makes a fortune out of it. In fact, that was my life's dream as well - to help my family by earning as much money. But, this time, when I walked to the recruitment centre, something was amiss.
