Abhishek Asthana Bikau Bawasir. Basically he's telegraphing to Pfizer and Moderna that if he can get some money from them, he will flip sides. For people like him, the whole thing is that ke bhaiyya sabse bada rupaiyya.
For anyone who wrote their own science exams instead of outsourcing homework, it's obvious that at least as May '21 ends, mRNA vaccines are THE best of all avlbl. Data from multiple clinical trials AND 100+ million vaccinations is historically obvious. But sabse bada rupaiyya.
Asthana is selfish enough to keep his presence still on the vastly superior American Twitter and not very much on the vastly inferior Indian Koo.
But he is still shilling to oppose American mRNA vaccines which, out of 10.1 crore, had only 700 hospitalizations. 🤔🤔
These Asthana types are so much more dedicated to their indian corporate paymasters than their fellow indian citizens!
So apparently Abhishek Asthana has a soft spot for the name "Shweta Singh" 🤣🤣🤣.
Such transparent sockpuppetry. An account named "Shweta Singh" dedicated solely to counter me. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, this is what bawasir Asthana wants to point you towards with his sockpuppetry. The hilarious thing is, I haven't taught "BT214" in 2 years. The code was changed to BT417 over a year ago. And that course was not offered in Spring 2021.

Abhishek is so bad even at being bad!
A review posted on May 19 2021 for BT214 which hasn't been offered at Stevens since 2019. 🤣🤣🤣
The funniest thing is Asthana is dumb enough to think he's hurting a tenured prof in a US university by hiring sockpuppets to tell fewer students to take his class. 🤣🤣🤣
Basically he went to my faculty page, which I haven't updated since the pandemic started. So BT214 appears on my page as a course. Not actually in Stevens records since 2019 cos it's now BT417. No real student would post a 214 review in May 2021. Only gobar sockpuppets.

One thing Rajnath Singh said in LS that stuck with me

"Such schemes are there even in US and they don't complain so why do you complain?"

That made me sit up.

What?

Surely someone would fact check this cos what is he even talking about?

US military agnipath?

So I checked.
There is NOTHING in US military remotely resembling Agnipath!

At the 18-22 age, the US military actually wants you to enlist for life if possible. And will happily keep you on for life if you serve honorably.

The short term stints are like Indian Short Service Commission.
So yeah, there exist options in the US military where you sign on for a short stint. And can be deployed. But they'll also send you to college for free.

My brother in law got an engineering degree from UC Riverside by enlisting in the Air Force for a few years. Then left.

Very interesting conversation with a gujarati bodega owner nearby.

"I support Modi but something is wrong in gujarat. There are more gujaratis taking the risky border routes in the last 2 years than the 20 years before, from my observation. And they all say, no jobs in gujarat"
"Until recent years, gujaratis wanting to move either came through family visa or arranged marriage or student visa or at the most, overstay tourist visa. But risking life and limb like this in such big numbers? Modi needs to pay attention to gujarat. It's in trouble."
"the family that froze to death on the Canadian border. They didn't have a bad life in gujarat by any means. So why risk your entire existence? Something is wrong, brother, something is very wrong."

"Wherever you go in this world, you will find a t̶e̶a̶ s̶t̶a̶l̶l̶ great school founded by a Malayalee."

K.T. Behanan was a brilliant Yale educated social scientist & Indian bureaucrat who landed in NYC with his doctor wife & 5 year old son.

Ran straight into systemic racism./1
The year was 1947 & Behanan, a Syrian Christian from Kerala's influential Kovoor clan was a 45 year old superstar in the Babu circles of the brand new India.

He accepted a position for India at the brand new UN, working on education policy with the Trustee Council.

Ironic.
He landed in a New York that was very different from now. "Separate but equal" was still the law.

Schools were openly & emphatically segregated. Brown v BoE was some years away.

By putting idealistic UN in Manhattan, America's mouth had written a check its ass couldn't cash.

I'm at that age where a lot of my friends are starting to send their kids to college. So getting a lot of queries on US college as an option.

So I'm going to do this reference 🧵 with the basics to avoid repetition. And send it to them before further more specific questions. Image
I'll start off by saying that if you have ₹3 crore that you can spare, it is a nice lifelong gift for your child.

An undergrad education in the US is an amazing enriching experience beyond just the academics & the jobs after. I envy my students a little they get to live it.
I start off mentioning the cost cos I want to be absolutely clear that as awesome as such a college education will be for your kid, it is not going to be cheap.

Unless you have a Sheldon Cooper type kid, there is no free ride for international students in undergrad. That's Grad.

India & China are almost half of humanity, 2 of the oldest cultures, sharing one of the longest and most iconic borders on the planet.

But how little we really know each other!

Recently, a Chinese grad student shared her love story with me. I repeat it here with her permission.
She grew up the only child of two people who were only children of parents who were also only children, in the South of China.

He grew up in a similar configuration, in the northeast of China.

They both followed the well set academic excellence route to US grad school.
They met in grad school in the NYC area. In a larger Chinese grad student universe, they found each other. And fell in love. And started planning a life together.

And both realized how they had to think about parents and grandparents in China just by themselves!

My hypothesis about why hindus are uniquely frequent in false flagging by pretending to be minorities in numbers not seen from other ethnofascists, is that Sanghism is unique in not being based on any reality at all. Other fascists at least exploit *some* reality.
Hitler rode to power by exploiting the very real discontent against the treaty of Versailles & economic ennui.

Trump rode to power by pointing to millions of migrants. I think they are a net positive, his view is wrong. But it is a reality, at least, that he's misdiagnosing.
Right wingers in Europe & Israel are also exploiting what is, very much, a structural struggle between two groups.

Sanghism is unique cos quite simply, Indian Muslims are not "a problem" in any realistic way. Never have been. They are one of us. For centuries. And will be too.
