Have you seen how Disney now simps for China in practically all Marvel series.

This is part of China’s power play and influence on Hollywood.

As China rises it also understands the need to control worldwide perception. Uses hard and soft power.

We have the chips.

But we have neither the vision nor the spine to control the narrative.
If there was an index of “narrative control” India would be dead last in it.

Literally even Pakistan and Afghanistan do better.
Yes, in fact India overall has done well in diplomacy in the Modi era.

Where it still lags badly is narrative and #infowars. Gets killed every day.

If IAS officers are required to learn the language of the state where they are posted, why isn't judiciary?

It's a travesty that Bihar High Court does not allow Hindi in Patna because milords can't stoop to learn it. Can these lords ever provide justice to the common people?
Does the Court exist for the convenience of the judges or for the convenience of the people? Time of lords is over.

They either learn the language or get interpreters for themselves at State expense. Not force people to speak in the lord's language.

The untouchability due to #EnglishApartheid affects the common man today more.

State systematically denies access to higher education, courts and so many opportunities using this. It is legal apartheid, but no FCRA-NGOs will protest. Guess why not?

Interesting. I knew we were ahead, but not by that much.
For all the mental bots touting divorce as "progressive" they should read the science sometimes.

“children with divorced parents continued to score significantly lower on measures of academic achievement, conduct, psychological adjustment, self-concept, and social relations.”… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Yup, this is the progressive dogma that has destroyed Western society. Any data to back your claims that more divorces build a better society?

See the scientific study I cite above rather than be influenced by narratives pushed on you with no evidence.

In colonial intellectual discourse in the absence of "rule of law" there is "jungle raj." What's the worldview behind this?

In Christianity, man's natural state is of a sinner. Nature is to be subjugated. Nature consists of "base passions" that are evil.

sankrant.org/2014/06/india-…
"God" gave commandments to fix man. In the natural state, man is a beast.

This is the worldview of Abrahamism. Their "god" is separate from nature, which is beastly.

"God's commandments" then get secularized to "rule of law" to keep the "jungle" (aka the natural state) away.
From the Eastern/Indic view, nature is not beastly.

The "jungle" is actually in a state of ecological harmony. Abrahamic modernity litters it with plastic garbage. That we want rule of law to fix.

Law is textual bureaucracy and regulation. It is riddled with loopholes.

They used the dead body of a girl and made her name as an international "cause" to target Dogras of Jammu in a fake case.

They paraded fake people as her parents on media. #Mufti sent a prior convicted police guy from Kashmir into Jammu to fake it—they don't want the truth out.
The fake case had already fallen apart when the boy accused by the police was miles away in a different city, recorded by ATM camera.

The "evidence" against the others was equally a sham. The judge is currently under a corruption investigation.

As @madhukishwar points out, the case is so absurd, a D-grade Bollywood script writer could do better.

They named the victim, illegally, so they could make this a "Hindu"-"Muslim' thing and do to the Dogras of Jammu what they did to Hindus in Kashmir.

#DegreeDikhao is stupidity.

Most Indian degrees BA/MA are worthless. They teach nothing, one learns nothing. What useful things has a BA in Political Science or an MA in Sociology learnt that will help them in their life? If anything it can create more deracination and dumbness.
Lol. I've "achieved" enough for a few lifetimes. But how does that matter.

The country is still down in dumps due to Congress' "achievements." And you guys are still at it.

Absolutely, the biggest axis of discrimination in India is English discrimination.

It is official structural discrimination that is enforced by the colonial state from top down.

It translates into societal discrimination where people are judged on spoken English "accent."
While you will find thousands of books and research papers on "caste discrimination" guess how many of these Indian academics study English-based discrimination which is the biggest axis of discrimination in India today?

I could hardly find any while writing my book. Guess why?
In 2020, one paper. 😏 Nearly 2 decades after my original article.

Yes, that's my point, so few and far between. Why?
