Not only has the quality of the hashish gone up, these chaps have also learned to use aging software.

One thing you can be sure of is that bhakts will never start a war, despite all their bluster. The closest we ever got to one was the Balakot fiasco.

Five years after the dust has settled, here are the facts about the 56 mm chap's only attempt at bravery:

Pakistani/Kashmiri terrorists successfully attacked an army convoy at Pulwama, leaving Modi red-faced and embarrassed.

(2/)

So it is increasingly clear what is happening.

All the Palestinians' Muslim neighbors have abandoned them.

Even Hezbollah has not launched themselves into this war, except for a few scattered attacks.

(1/) Nobody, not even Iran, is going to war with Israel over the Palestinians. That was the purpose of the US show of force in sending two carrier groups to the area. It has worked.

Israel has surrounded Gaza City and has almost reached the coast.

(2/)

People forget that empires do not last forever.

The British Empire only became a global Empire by 1850 or so, and it was finished by 1960.

The Soviet Union became an empire at the end of the Second World War; it completely crumbled in 45 years.

(1/) The US, too, became a global superpower and empire at the same time, in 1945. It is already 78 years old, and is on the verge of collapse. If you don't believe this, read this:

What's going to happen in Palestine?

Israel is hoping to terrorize the Palestinians into leaving their homes by relentless bombing, starvation, cutting off power, and cutting off water and fuel supply.

(1/) They don't want to send ground forces because they will be slaughtered in urban warfare. Remember Stalingrad and Somalia.

But increase the pain more, and hopefully the Palestinians will leave.

But where? No Arab country will take them.

Why?

How Many #Palestinians Have Died?

#Hamas is said to have killed some 1000 odd #Israelis in its attack a few days ago.

In revenge, #Israel has been committing #genocide in #Gaza.

But the Western press has been whitewashing Israel's #CrimesAgainstHumanity.

(1/) According to the #NYTimes , Palestinians have only suffered around 2000 casualties since Israel started carpet bombing #Gaza.

I am surprised that people take this obvious lie by the NYT as truth.

Even a casual inspection of the facts tells you that this has to be a lie.

(2/)

Israel is trying to bully Gazans in giving them a 24 hour ultimatum to relocate.

In fact that is the goal of the nonstop bombing.

Israel wants to move into Gaza, but they will not as long as people are there, because they know their soldiers and tanks will walk into a trap. Essentially, Israel is hoping that there will be a repeat of what happened in 1948, when terrified Palestinians left their homes, allowing Jews to occupy the land.

Gazans must not take the bait. They have much more to lose by fleeing. They should stay put.

The bombshell news of the day is Canada's PM, Justin Trudeau, mincing no words in an address to the Canadian Parliament saying that he had "credible allegations" that the Indian government killed a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.

(1/) The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has rubbished the allegations and said Trudeau was trying to shift the focus from Khalistani activities in Canada against India.

Indian TV channels are going into overdrive, spending lots of time on Khalistani activities in Canada.

News Article from 2030:

"The Tragedy of the African Cheetah"

"Yesterday, cheetahs became extinct as the last African cheetah that was imported to India to satisfy Indian PM Modi's ego has died."

(1/) "The export of cheetahs from Africa to India started in 2022. Despite the cheetahs unable to survive in their new habitat, the Indian government kept importing more and more of them to India, determined to prove a point, ...

Talking about the lowest caste, the Shudras.

If through arrogance, he teaches brāhmaṇas their duty, the king shall pour heated oil into his mouth and ears.—(272)

There's also the famous story of the Shudra Shambhuka in the Ramayana.

(2/)wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/… @NiMingda_GG @Kanthan2030 @RahulGandhi The Ramayana is one of the most revered religious stories in Hinduism, and is based on legends about the hero Ram, who is supposed to be an incarnation of the God Vishnu.

Even today, the "Hindu Nationalist" government of the BJP claims that its goal is "Ram Rajya."

You want to understand how media propaganda in the West works?

Look at how they cover manufacturing.

First look at the manufacturing in China, which is measured by the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI). This chart shows manufacturing PMI since the start of this year.

(1/) As you can see, manufacturing has been expanding for 5 months out of 8.

In July, there was a small dip below 50, but it bounced back in August.

Now look at the same statistics for the USA.

Only in one month since the beginning of this year has the PMI gone above 50.

(2/)

Most of the upper caste #Hindus in the US will be sad today.

The state of #California passed a law banning #discrimination on the basis of #caste, #SB403. This was prompted by several cases of caste-based discrimination in #SiliconValley.

(1/)

hindustantimes.com/world-news/cal… #California is now a better and safer place for #Dalits to live in than #India. In India, Dalits are regularly beaten or killed because of their #caste, often for having the temerity to ride a horse or wear dark glasses or dress well. #SB403

(2/)

So much hype about #Chandrayaan_3.

#NationalPride is the stupidest thing out there.

And that's true whether the pride is about Chandrayaan, #Praggnanandhaa, #ViswanathanAnand, #ARRahman winning #GRAMMYs, or #India winning the #WorldCup.

(1/) If #Chandrayaan_3 succeeds (and I hope it does, for the advancement of science), it will be an achievement for #ISRO.

And only for ISRO.

What did you contribute to Chandrayaan that you are feeling so full of yourself?

(2/)

#PravinSawhney suggests that #India has meekly accepted the #Chinese demands at the border.

I think that, if true, this is a good thing.

If India is to prosper, it needs peace with #China.



(1/) We need a permanent settlement of the border with #China, if necessary on China's terms. We really do not have a choice, as #Modi seems to have realized.

Sawhney says Modi doesn't have the stomach for war with China.

(2/)

I have a feeling #Modi's luck is about to run out.

He's been trying to run with the hares and hunt with the hounds for a while now. Or, to put it another way, have his cake and eat it too.

He doesn't want to get in bed with #BRICS because of the antipathy towards #China.

(1/) He went to the #US and signed some agreements that give the US naval bases in India.

Now he wants to put trade restrictions on US computer products to help #Ambani sell his #Jiobook.

If you are going to burn your bridges with #Russia and #China, you can't piss off the US.

(2/)

When the #Modi government proceeded to build wide highways in #Uttarakhand for the #ChardhamYatra, #environmental groups protested, saying that the #ecosystem was fragile and could not handle the construction.

The case went to the #SupremeCourtofIndia.

(1/) The petitioners' case was science-based, and the government's case was populism-based. The government wanted to make Hindus happy by providing a highway for quick transport for #yatris.

But the government argued in court that the highways were needed for #NationalSecurity.

(2/)

#India is a truly advanced country. While the so-called "superpower," #America, spends about $1.5 million per lane-km for a new highway, India spends about $3.8 million per lane-km for the same. (or $5.2 million, for same lane size)

Don't compare us with pathetic, poor countries And we can afford to do that, year after year, after each monsoon, whereas poor America can only do it once in 30 years. Losers!

#ViksitBharat by 2047

#Modiji has said that by 2047, #India will be Viksit #Bharat, that is, Developed India.

(1/) This is very smart. If #Modiji is still alive in 2047, he will be 97 and most probably senile and in a nursing home, so he can't be questioned if his prediction is proven wrong - if at all anyone remembers it then.

(2/)

If we do this, it will sink whatever is left of #India's #economy in 2036, if indeed India is still around as a country by then.

Very few countries have made a financial success of the #Olympics. Most have been disastrous failures.

(1/) The 2004 #AthensOlympics was a major factor in pushing #Greece into bankruptcy.

This is what you get when you have illiterates running the country. They are only interested in glitzy status symbols, not substance.

@ShashiTharoor The Industrial Revolution in Britain was not only because of money siphoned off India. At its root were the discoveries in mechanics, heat, and chemistry made much earlier. India, due to its close-mindedness, didn't learn anything about these. It's not enough to import a factory. @ShashiTharoor You have to understand how the factory works. For that, you have to understand physics and chemistry. All the major discoveries in physics and chemistry were made in Europe, people in India knew nothing about them. That was the root of the problem. They weren't interested.

@ShashiTharoor You make an unconvincing argument when you say that India could have built its own factories. India was very inward thinking in those days. Was there any understanding of what was happening in Europe? Any translation of Newton's Principia, written in 1687? Did Brits prevent us? @ShashiTharoor The Industrial Revolution in Britain was not only because of money siphoned off India. At its root were the discoveries in mechanics, heat, and chemistry made much earlier. India, due to its close-mindedness, didn't learn anything about these. It's not enough to import a factory.

The #HomeMinisterOfIndia, #AmitShah, wears his hat of a #Hindu, not that of a #HomeMinister, when dealing with the #ManipurViolence.

The ruling #BJP government in #Manipur is led by the Hindu #Meitei tribal group, who are fighting the #Kuki #Christian tribals.

(1/) The #HomeMinisterOfIndia is on the side of the #Meitei #Hindus.

Whenever there is a conflict between Hindus and #Muslims - #Jahangirpuri, #Nuh, #Bhagalpur, #Ranchi, #Aurangabad, etc. - the #HM takes off his minister hat and acts like a partisan #Hindu.
