Does the cabinet have adequate representation of fat people? How about doctors? Badminton players?

What makes these people focus on just one dimension of identity? Because their prophet told them it’s most important?
Maybe thin people are underrepresented then? Shouldn’t they do a survey for “social justice”?

Yes, I’m very concerned for those with a weak constitution.

Are you one of those? It can effect the mind sometimes.

Does your constitution talk about religion-based elections and ministers in cabinet?

What @TulsiGabbard is saying is frightening.

1.. This document from 2005 on State.gov says US is helping "secure" labs that could be used for bioweapons.
2. If they existed in 2005, 14 years after the fall, do they exist now?

I have no way to verify the authenticity of this, except that it is on the US State Department website.

The document is a treaty between US DOD and the Ukraine government which admits to the existence of "technology, pathogens and expertise" that could be used for bio-weapons.
It mentions institutes and laboratories with technology, pathogens, and expertise (for bio-weapons) located in Lviv, Odessa, Kyiv, and other facilities in Ukraine.

Can anyone give a reference from the original Mahabharata in Sanskrit where it refers to Eklavya's "caste." 😀

Eklavya is a prince. Drona does not want anyone to surpass Arjuna as an archer. Out of attachment he asks for Eklavya's thumb.
Stories are made-up to backfit colonial narratives. The egalitarianism in Mahabharata is remarkable, compared to any ancient society. Remember Aristotle refers to some people as "natural slaves."

Interesting, the author of Mahabharat does not look positively on Drona's action.

Serious question.—what did a “Brahmin” ever do to you personally? What is your direct experience?

“One way to decolonize is to come back to our experience from the narratives we have been told.”
Yes the way some pujaris ask dakshina is a problem, but do we realize that the state has impoverished these pujaris and robbed the temples of resources.

They get a pittance. While the Church is rolling in money. Not confiscated by the Govt.
I respect those who have placed restrictions on themselves to nurture a certain energy.

It’d be easier for them to eat whatever and wherever, no? Isn’t it a sacrifice to refuse an invitation like that.

Unless you want them to become like BINOs.

It's funny to see responses to this claiming Britain "unified" India. This has been part of the colonial propaganda that "India was never a nation." Long debunked but people still keep repeating it.

sankrant.org/2003/10/why-in…
But the short summary is that the Islamic invaders destroyed India culturally and decimated the intellectual output while the British destroyed India economically and psychologically.

@JoeAgneya
The Marathas were ascendant over the previous invaders.
