i just finished seeing #Trance (malayalam w/ english sub-titles, 2020, amazon prime video). it totally rips the mask off the entire RoL evangelism industry, and shows how it's a huge money-making fraud. the film shows the villains dying, but in real life they thrive. must watch. next, #jallikattu (malayalam w/ english sub-titles, 2019, amazon prime video), india's official entry to the oscars this year. about the killing of an errant buffalo, as social commentary. maybe like #maranasimhasanam (throne of death, 1999, camera d'or at cannes). there a 1/2

indians have a misconception about long-term US resident/citizen indian-americans: that they care about india.

for many of my IIT classmates who have been there for 40+ years, this is not true. they get teary-eyed about 'america the beautiful' and july 4th.

i generalize. 1/n i am not blaming them, either. they may be married to americans, and their children are americans, and they will almost certainly die there, and once their parents die, they lose allegiance to india. this is the seductive 'melting pot'.

those who care about india return. 2/n

let's look at this from first principles.

1. H1B visas not necessarily in india's national interest.

2. H1Bs are in the personal interest of middle-class indians who want to live in the US. and of indian IT companies and US firms.

personal interest > national interest? 1/n

not in national interest coz it negates #makeinindia, and skews aspirations away from, say, mechanical or civil eng jobs which are needed for manuf/infra.

training up these migrants is a drain on the indian economy, and then they all become medium-skilled coders 2/n

now reading this ebook by @CatherineNixey #thedarkeningage about the destruction of #greek and #roman #culture by #christians. we are seeing the same in action re destruction/#digestion of #hindu culture in india today by the same folks. no, not ISIS. christians. the first page of the book.

the inevitable gopal subramaniam and indira jaising. surprised bhushan wasn't there as well, and kapil sibal. it could have been a reunion, just like old times.

sending crummy lawyers against these well-connected shyster sharks is a losing tactic.

in other words, you can get ANYTHING done in india by hiring someone from a small set of millionaire lawyers. and we have to believe it's their brilliant arguments, not that they have social ties with the judges?

there's something deeply disturbing about this scenario.
