#XiTotallyFailsChina
Replacing Wang Yi as Foreign Minister & now shunting out‘wolf warrior’ Zhao as foreign ministry spokesperson, is the UTTER & DISASTROUS failure of #ComradeXi's combative, expansionist & aggressive foreign policy.

theprint.in/world/what-shu…
It is absurd to believe that these officials were toeing anything other than the official line.

This retreat, is similar to the about turn on the disastrous #ZeroCovid policy of #XiJinping,which is resulting in millions of infections, swamped medical facilities & untold deaths.
It is the horrific failures of #XiJingping which are sought to be covered up:

* Trade War with America with disastrous economic consequences.

* The total failure of #CPEC, #BRI, alienating Austrailia & #Europe among others.

* Lunatic land grab with India & the murderous
Galwan attack permanently alienating the largest democracy of 1450 million people, setting it on the road to decisive self-reliance as a big power.

• The posturing & the risky exercises threatening Taiwan, Japan, Phillipines & Vietnam & the harsh grabbing of #HongKong
• All of the above + the genocide in #Xijiang, the overnight banishment of #JackMa, the collapse of real estate, drastic change in policies to fut the wings of economic tsars and bring the #CCP back into the driver's seat.
• The net result is a world de-globalising to the extent of extricate itself from the web of manufacturing dependency on China.
• 40+ years of triumphant economic progress under #DengXiaoPing & his successors is being given a visible, premature burial under #XiJinping

#HeWhoIsWithoutSin
The word "liberal" means
'accepting different opinions or kinds of behaviour; tolerant'.

A true Sanathani will, by definition be 'liberal'.

You are, therefore, wrongly using the word to mean the exact opposite.

The word you really want is "illiberal".
My fundamental opposition to Islam is that it excludes...and IS in its very essence, illiberal, intolerant & violent.

If I were NOT TO condemn a person for similar thinking & action simply because he is supposedly 'sanathani' I would be guilty of MASSIVE HYPOCRISY.
No one by virtue of simply being born into a tradition or religion acquires some permanent immunity for her/his words or action.

The spirit of inquiry, self-criticism & reform is what makes Sanathana Dharma the fount of the oldest,continuous surviving civilisation of the world

The Slum Game

No political party @INCIndia included has objection to this modus operandi...

* Political parties/leaders/bureaucrats/goons

* Allow encroachment on public/railway/PSU land for a price.

* Provide illegal water/power for a price.

1/n
Advantages:

* Encroacher benefits.
Everything from house to water to power is cheap.

It's encashable.

In case of resettlement you get a flat free. Two or more, if you have smartly, split your living quarters.

2/n
* All the aforesaid crooks benefit, from the initial sale, to supply of pilfered power/water, set up shops/ schools/nursing homes.

• Then if Slum re-settlement is initiated, a huge bonanza from builders, from small investments in shops etc which sky-rocket in value.

#St. Francis Xavier:
Letter from India, to the Society of Jesus at Rome, 1543.

"The fruit that is reaped by the baptism of infants, as well as by the instruction of children and others, is quite incredible.
1/n
These children, I trust heartily, by the grace of God, will be much better than their fathers.

They show an ardent love for the Divine law, and an extraordinary zeal for learning our holy religion and imparting it to others.

2/n
"Their hatred for idolatry is marvellous.

They get into feuds with the heathen about it, and whenever their own parents practise it, they reproach them and come off to tell me at once.

#FirstMajorFusionStep
"fusion, however, would fuse together two light hydrogen atoms to form one heavier helium atom, releasing a large amount of energy. The most powerful example of a fusion reaction is Sun. Fusion also occurs inside stars."

"On Earth, fusion reactions can be provoked by heating hydrogen to extreme temperatures inside specialized devices."
"192 ultra-powerful lasers all pointed into a thimble-sized cylinder filled with hydrogen. Fusion is carbon-free during operation, poses no risk of nuclear disaster and produces much less radioactive waste."

"The Taliban have promised that Afghanistan would not be used as a base for militants and, in exchange, China has offered economic support and investment for Afghanistan's reconstruction.'

"According to the World Bank, the former French colony has 470 minerals, with oil, gold and diamonds having the greatest potential. Diamonds account for nearly half of the country's total export earnings."
"The country also has uranium, iron ore, copper and manganese deposits.

"We want the Indian government and its companies to help us build infrastructure like roads as well as in sustainable exploitation of our mineral wealth,"
