@LaurenWitzkeDE get well soon.
These are the Bächle gutters in Freiburg, if I'm not mistaken. Kids play in them all the time. This is their primary purpose these days.

Look at this innocent virgin here, who's never heard of a single church being attacked by Hindus in India. This is January 2024.
If a Hindu does this to a planted Church in India, he'll be locked up in jail and media will go 24x7 saying Christians are persecuted. Hindus have zero power in the scheme of things today. Not even the right to defend ourselves and our culture in our own homeland.

Honestly one thing Indian men could learn from Modi is how to obsess over one's appearance, hygiene, clothing. Indians wear crumpled up clothes like all the time.
Plastic surgery was invented by Shushruta in 600 BC but perfected by whoever Modiji’s guy is in the 2010s. They deserve a Bharat Ratna.

Saffron chimps think Israel is going to feel heartened by a bunch of super poor, jobless losers waving their flag in the middle of nowhere, just because they hate Abdul who sells tea next door.

The India BJP wants is being slowly manifested in Gujarat. Muslims forcibly segregated, ghettoized and deprived of public goods. Non-veg food banned. Health and education underinvested in so the poor masses can live in indignity, forced to work at some of the lowest wages.
#Palitana, in #Gujarat's #Bhavnagar, became the world's first city where non-veg is illegal after #Jain monk protests closed 250 butcher shops. This honors Gandhi's vegetarian vow and aligns with regulations in Rajkot and Junagadh. Read more

Indians need to seriously shut up and learn to operate behind the scenes. The billionaires want you, stop appealing to the general public that you want to come be their upper-middle class.
Dear America: . Your Indian workers gave you:.Their youth.Their talent.Their taxes.20+ years of loyalty . You gave them:.Endless visa waits.Lost Social Security.Kids who must leave . Is this the American way of trading?.

These aren't Korean chaebols. Because none of them are really export-focussed, or forced to compete internationally much. These are just largely rent-seeking, barely innovative, "private" arms of the State. It's less Korean, and more Russian in inspiration.
Modi is adopting the South Korean model. 4-5 big companies owning everything. Ambani, Adani, Tata, Jindal.

As you experience a heatwave, India, planting trees are the most effective way to cool a city. Medellin, Colombia planted 880000 trees in green corridors alongside sidewalks & canals, to circulate cool air. Reduced heat, improved air quality and health. Plant trees, revive canals
Air conditioners and cars, in the end disperse heat into the air. They both have their place to withstand heat, but without collective action to redesign cities for cooler air flow, everyone just suffers. Imagine how hot this narrow road is with all that hot air trapped.

Highest density of car ownership, ports and airports in India is in a narrow stretch from Mangalore to Kanyakumari. Lowest density of car ownership per capita in India (and possibly the world) is between Lucknow and Patna. Guess where India builds expressways?.

Correction: Kerala belongs to Malayalis. You are welcome to work here and go back. You are welcome to bring your families and assimilate. You are not welcome to settle here and not assimilate. And that applies to anyone, not just other Indians.
To,.Everyone coming to Kerala. You will NOT be treated as OUTSIDERS if you don't speak Malayalam. We'll help you if you wish to learn it but you won't be mistreated even if you don't. Write it down, share it around. We ain't joking. KERALA BELONGS TO ALL, NOT JUST MALAYALIS.

He's calling Mallu Christians "forced converts" here. He could never imagine South India had Christians before England did. Most Indian Americans know as much about India as Americans do(cows, slums, snakes), with a sprinkling of bigoted shit from their parents to spice it up.
Just too good!.This is how you take a dig at conversion mafia by rightfully “offending” the converts😁 #Conversion #Missionary #Christian

North Indian migrant family who traveled for 3 days by train to Kerala, learnt Malayalam, saved money working gardening jobs, and bought a good home. This sort of migration is hopefully the future of Kerala, as we age, giving dignity and opportunity to Northies denied it at home.

True. Big reason why BJP is dominant is because it's the party of optimism. As dumb as it is, the bullet train+smart city+vishwaguru captures real aspirations. Congress has yet to create or sell an alternative vision of a developed India. Its ideas are yet to cohere into one.
Despite all its flaws, across geography, caste, age groups, BJP continues to be the party of Indian optimists (even the cynics who are optimists at heart).

Indians talk like they were denied Green Cards despite their “merit”, the way they complain about how quotas denied them college seats and jobs in India. It’s such sheer entitlement. You are *guest* workers. This isn’t some unfair barrier to your natural career progression.

Are banks in Karnataka actually manned by tellers who don't speak Kannada? That is outrageous, and their backlash is perfectly justified.

@anyaparampil You, like me, are a descendant of oppressors, not the oppressed, in this context. Us Nasranis do not get to claim the persecution of a Malayali Dalit Christian as our own, when our ancestors often enslaved and oppressed theirs. This is farcical, and outrageous.

@turashara A body was found in his car. And the story and the case was completely suppressed. The girls parents have not received justice for their daughter, who they allege was raped. And your concern is for the powerful man implicated. Lovely priorities.

@MattWallace888 @elonmusk @patrickc @ashleevance @paraga Yes. Major CEOs of many Indian companies like Tata Motors are Westerners. As are many pilots, and many engineers, and top level management jobs. You can see a lot of Western expats in cities like Bangalore. I once went to a theater where half the audience was white.

I don't object to constructing a statue. But honestly a little attempt to adapt the statue to Western aesthetics. You don't even have to make it completely Greco-Roman or something. Just hire a skilled artisan who can make the statue not look so. tacky, like a Disney toy.
The Libertarian ideas that are used to defend this eye sore of a statue are exactly what needs to die in the Canadian Right Wing. If you're not fighting to defend Canadian culture & Canadian people then you're honestly not helping.

India prioritized the concerns of the upper caste/upper classes, over that of the masses. Pretty simple really. India didn't aspire to build basics first, it aspired to go to space like the Americans and Russians.
A new India-China fact (to me):. The Chinese state prioritized primary education over secondary/tertiary, while the Indian state did the opposite. Chinese primary enrollment rate passed India in 1950, secondary 1975, and tertiary only in 2000!

Mandal was the moment India left behind it's founders aspirations of a liberal democracy, and became communitarian democracy. Promising reservations for OBCs, the median Indian, thus majority of all Indians, was the death of individual and cemented caste as organizing principle.
If just a simple census of your people can unleash a fight like rats over spoils, perhaps you may want to ask yourself if you built a nation, or cage for rats to fight for morsels. Is India a liberal democracy based on the individual? Or a communitarian democracy based on caste?.

Two most common Bihari responses to this tweet:. 1. Kerala is worse than Bihar. (lol what.).2. "We Biharis have more white skin and Steppe Aryan ancestry, you black Mallu.". And you wonder you are a casteist failed state. The largest concentration of extreme poverty in the world.
Bihar needs harshness. Everyone needs to point fingers at it. Label it clearly what it is: . A feudal, casteist failed society and state, kept alive by everyone else's money, that is mostly then stolen, whose predatory elite need to be thrown into a gulag for their failures.

Yes, the true source of Indian power is the unending supply of incel rage, manifested as hatred towards women and Muslims. As on display online. Down with these European traditions which allow men and women to enjoy each other's company in a civilized fashion.
Indian Armed Forces is still the colonial armed forces. Which native army will do nonsense like ballroom dance. All the ceremonies are very European.

Here's why metro rails in India in most cities fail, or otherwise severely underperform their potential to alleviate traffic. They are isolated networks built for car users. Not an evolution of the existing local transit. The flaw begins at conception. Why build a metro?🧵(1/25).
Here's a little truth everyone should know about E Sreedharan, India's Metro Man. He's an elitist piece of shit, who really didn't want his shiny metro systems for the rich to ever be used by masses. Why Delhi and Kochi Metro weren't integrated with existing transit at the start.

There's more dignity and humanity in the heart of an ordinary Indian than in the heart of a rootless saffron zombie.

His term in office represented an outburst of hope that paralleled the one right after independence. Made India believe the impossible. Fastest rise in prosperity our civilization has ever known. His uncommon decency made you believe our better angels had won. Thank you sir.
Deeply saddened to hear about Dr. Manmohan Singh's passing. His years as prime minister were some of the best times for the Indian middle class. A lot of waste has been heaped on his legacy, but the winds of history will sweep it away.

The Indian State is capable of incredible contained exercises like conducting an election across a vast and diverse continent. But can't do the grinding hard work of waste management. Somehow we need to turn waste management into an event, because Indians are great at that.

Thankful to Hon'ble PM @narendramodi ji for the timely release of ₹3430 crore to Kerala as part of the tax devolution. A total of ₹1,78,173 crore has been disbursed to states, including an advance instalment of ₹89,086.50 crore, in view of the upcoming festive season and to.

This is Indian paranoia. Nobody in their right mind wants to balkanize India, the world's largest prison for world's largest poor population. Breakdown of Indian State would cause a refugee exodus the world couldn't handle. India keeps the subcontinent mostly a sedate backwater.

According to a treaty signed in 1827 by Thakurufaanu, your national hero, Maldives belongs to the Arakkal Kingdom of Kerala, whose successors were the British Raj, and the Republic of India. Kerala/Lakshadweep is therefore the rightful owner of Maldives. We press our claim :)
On left is Kashmir, Pakistan 🇵🇰. On right is Lakshadweep, Maldives 🇲🇻. Both Kashmir & Lakshadweep were stolen by India 🇮🇳. Now we’re in 2023. Both Madives & Pakistan must go to @UN to get back our land which rightfully belongs to us. India cannot keep on stealing.

Outrageous. Govt of India is converting the only money it promised to spend on Vizhinjam Port, ₹800cr as VGF, into a loan that will add up to ₹12k crore. All ports get VGF for free. Vzm was mostly funded by Govt of Kerala. Classic BJP, do nothing, claim credit, stunt the South.
