what the hell is happening in india

Partition was arguably a poor long term move for the Muslims of the subcontinent. If you look at current births, what are now Pakistan and Bangladesh would be very signficant blocks in a united India. Also consider that Muslim birthrates are higher than Hindu in modern India itself. 25%+ of those births in UP and Bihar are likely to Muslims. Over the long term, Muslims had a real shot at becoming at least co-equal if not dominant in a united sub-continent.

The Hindutva movement has a generational opportunity to blackpill a bunch of Pakistanis and Bangladeshis about the negatives of Saudi religious patronage if it can enforce message discipline and stop its dehatan foot soldiers from calling them dehumanizing slurs like “kanglu”

What happened in Saudi with Bangladesi couple is shocking and infuriating. BJP, RSS and Bajrang Dal want to turn India into a nation like Saudi. Saudi is their blueprint.

You guys have to decide first Indian Muslims are invaders or converts. At least have a consistent narrative

I don’t think it is pronounced īsā but yēsu (or yeśu) by N Indian Christians in Hindi or Punjabi.

You claim to be descendants of gods, sit this one out, syed is also used for landlords and Ansari just means natives, from the arabic words Ansar the helpers

One common Northie vs Southie argument on X pertains to surnames Northie brahmins retain vaidika titles earned by the feats of very distant ancestors. E.g. Chaturvedi, Dvivedi, Trivedi etc. South Indians typically don't. One notable exception is the surname "Chadaga" found in coastal Karnataka among the shivaLLi brAhmaNa community It is a kannada modification of the vaidika title - "shaDa~Ngavid" (someone who has mastered the six vedA~Ngas). This title is found in copper plates in many early medieval agrahAras in TN, Maharashtra among other places While "shaDa~Ngavid" as a title is not used these days, "Chadaga" persists as a real surname in coastal Karnataka - these are descendants of the ancient shaDa~Ngavids and are typically shivaLLi smArtas

Head less. Dead bodies arrived in Bangladesh.. Of the Ones beheaded in KSA saudi Arabia unjustly.. Mbs wouldn’t even dare to do this these were american or israeli citizens

Shut up, Dasyu convert. Your entire community claims to be descendant of multiple unrelated Aryan heroes and saints.

The Qara-Qoyunlu lineage of the Nawabs of Awadh was fabricated and ascribed to them during the reign of Nawab (later Badshah) Ghaziuddin Haider Bahadur. Can anyone guess why? (hint: read the question again)

It does not go unnoticed to me that South Indians (who make a lot of movies for dehati audiences featuring visually hyper-masculine protagonists) don’t really make any Pakistan-centric revenge fantasy movies.

Pakistan doesn’t trade with Afghanistan. It doesn’t trade with Iran. It doesn’t trade with India. Even China is growing wary of it. So who is Pakistan happy to trade with? Its only remaining neighbor: the ocean.

If India were to cut down all its forests and extract every mineral beneath its land, it still would not be able to build an economy larger than China’s economy. Look at @TataSteelLtd. Even after operating for 119 years, it is still much smaller than @Starbucks. Tata Steel generates around $27 billion in annual revenue, while Starbucks generates around $37 billion. India must look beyond natural resources. The solution to building a bigger economy lies elsewhere, not in extracting minerals.

Is ಅರೆ ಮನಸ್ಸು a common usage in colloquial tamil or is he simply translating Kannada in his mind to Tamil @naadu_nudi

बांग्लादेश ने भारत को प्रति व्यक्ति GDP के मामले में पछाड़ दिया है। बांग्लादेश की प्रति व्यक्ति GDP 2,886 डॉलर है, वहीं भारत की 2,749 डॉलर है। 2014 में जब मोदी PM बने थे, तब बांग्लादेश प्रति व्यक्ति GDP के मामले में भारत से बहुत पीछे था। तब भारत की प्रति व्यक्ति GDP 1,554 डॉलर थी और बांग्लादेश की सिर्फ 1,094 डॉलर थी। लेकिन मोदी ने अपनी खराब आर्थिक नीतियों से सब बर्बाद कर दिया। आज बांग्लादेश भी हमसे आगे निकल गया। मोदी ने वादा अच्छे दिनों का किया था, लेकिन जनता को मिले तो सिर्फ बुरे दिन।

Pakistan’s failures are genuinely so hard to understand. It’s not the demographics or the human capital; Pakistan was the *seat* of the persianized Mughal administration, it was the *governing center* of much of India. It’s not really simply “bad institutions”, because India’s institutions are also shit, and Islam arguably has a caste-suppression effect. One could plausibly say it’s political geography, as India inherited some fairly crucial shipping lanes, or western distrust of Pakistan due to Chinese alignment for a while, but in theory Pakistan SHOULD have developed more evenly and reliably than India, with stronger institutions, and it’s bizarre that it didn’t.
