चीन में के एक उच्च कोटि के होटेल में, वेटर से लेकर मैनेजर तक, कोई भी अंग्रेजी नहीं बोलता था।

उनके पास स्मार्ट फोन थे जिसमें हमसे हमारे ऑर्डर को टाइप करने के लिए कहा और उसका चीनी में अनुवाद किया।

भारत में छोटे रेस्तरां अंग्रेजी भी कहते है कि वेटर अंग्रेज़ी जाने। सोच का अंतर।
There was never an English edge. This was the biggest #FakeNews spread by a small section. There is only English Slavery.
मैं दिल्ली में कफ़े कॉफ़ी डे में गया। मैं हिंदी में बोलूँ और वेटर अंग्रेज़ी में। मैंने डाँटा, तुम्हें हिंदी नहीं आती? "आती है सर"। आती है और तो अंग्रेज़ी क्यों पेल रहे हो जब मैं हिंदी बोल रहा हूँ?

भारत की हालत बुरी है। ग़ुलामी को प्रगति मान लिया है।

People do not realize that it is a waste of resources of a nation to require English for a waiter's job. If that same amount of effort went into learning a technology, it would create far more economic value .

India's English obsession keeps us poor.

Phishing attacks usually play on people's fear or greed. That's how they are successful. This is the Indian English journalist's equivalent of "a rich widow left you an inheritance." In Nigeria. 😏
This one didn't age well.

Elementary fact-check. In September. But you'd have to be a trained journalist or something to have done that, no?

Nazis and Fascists are just European cousins of Marxists. Mussolini was a hardcore Marxist, he just extended that totalitarianism to "nation", much like China is.

They are all born from totalitarian Christianity. Even so, Marxists' record of genocide exceeds Nazis and Fascists.
Trying to map "fascist" to a non-European culture is simply colonial Eurocentrism by the likes of @PettyPraxis. No surprise since the entire petty praxis of Hegel down to Marx is built on European racism and mapping parochial European history to the world.
Their "enlightenment" heroes are steeped in racism. Marx justified colonialism and fabricated unscientific religious fantasies of stages of society (with Europe the most advanced of course).

Comrades are stuck with that religion.

Reading "race" into Indic text is Eurocentric scholarship.

19th century Europeans were obsessed with race. For "progressives" racism was a scientific theory. For the conservatives, racism came from the Bible.

So they manufactured "Aryan" race, "Dravidian" race and so on.
Can someone tell me the translation of the word "race" into any Indian language?

"Race" is a construction of the European mind addled by Biblical error and prejudice. It does not have real existence other than in relation to how Europeans classified the world.

This is about the systematic robbery of wealth from private Indian citizens by the British army.

The British regime was systematic robbery. All manner of robbery by the British ruling class of Indians was backed by the State.
Apology is for the birds. Cold hard cash reparations is what India must seek.

Education does not equal either intelligence or emotional quotient.

For most jobs, what you learn by High School is quite enough. You think children have learnt anything special when they get a "BA"? Go to a typical govt college, BA, even MA, teaches hardly anything of value.
In fact, most education deracinates. Social "science" education is even worse. They hardly learn anything useful as a job skill, but they do learn to hate.
I'm not suggesting that those who want to learn or go for higher education shouldn't do that.

Rather I'd like to see less prejudice and structural discrimination against non-degree holders, whether in govt jobs or elsewhere. Degree means very little as such. Skills matter.

The Modi govt's commitment to implementing the #UPA agenda in unparalleled, with even more resources and efficiency. No better example than the Sachar Commission report (though plenty of others—MNREGA, NCERT Textbooks).

The Divisive Report being implemented in toto. ImageImage
The screenshot is from the Ministry of Minority Affairs implementation report.

He is not worried about the problematic divisive schemes. He is worried that revealing the truth is "negative."

Apparently keeping ones head buried in the sand and not opposing discriminatory anti-Hindu policies "helps the Hindu cause." Really?
