@surendhra265 @thesneha_ I haven't been to entire Asia, so can't judge. This is not specific to only parents; people tend to claim anything they face or experience is a Pan India thing.
English
@pp_rover @thesneha_ Region specificity isn't required cuz all the parents across the asia are exactly the same.

Sandeep sir is right.
Indian boomers can be extremely vile and their love towards their kids is often selfish.
They wear their children’s success like a crown and detach themselves when you challenge traditional norms.
As you grow up, you are conditioned to never say NO to your parents, and expect you to take care of them which is fair but at the same time they are rigid in their beliefs and unwilling to change.
They will keep reminding you about how much they sacrificed for your growth and success, how they studied under street lights and crossed river to reach school on a mountain and so on..
And it’s important for you to not entertain these manohar kahaniyaas forever..

My lived experience taught me that many Indian women and men above 65 are one of the most regressive, dangerous, fraudulent and corrupt-to-the-core group of humans alive. Their goal is total control over every youngster in their family, and elimination of their desires, life ambitions and happiness, to the maximum possible extent. They absolutely demand respect no matter how repulsive their character(s) may be. And they use culture, religion and mumbo-jumbo to perpetuate their fraud. Time to speak up, and expose, and resist.

@Anurag_Anu06 @zga25_ @rajutripathi09 @BhadralokI So the ‘adopted from Bengali’ angle doesn’t stand. It’s probably the other way around.
English
@Anurag_Anu06 @zga25_ @rajutripathi09 @BhadralokI Assamese and Bengali are roughly the same age as fully developed modern languages. However, Assamese has older documented roots in several aspects. The Assamese letter ৰ is the older, more conservative form. Bengali’s র came later through modification.

I pay my humble tributes to the Bengali language martyrs of 19th May, 1961 in Silchar. The fight wasn't against any language or culture. It was for securing the right of everyone to speak in their mother tongue 🙏🙏🙏 Let all languages be respected 🙏🙏🙏

@pintu_maddy @himantabiswa That's why we need dedicated cycling lanes.
English
@pp_rover @himantabiswa Good weather but chaapri bike riders and trekker drivers
Even pedestrians are not safe from these and not to mention the huge rise of drunk driving in the city in recent years

The Ironman is widely regarded as one of the toughest endurance events in the world. It is a grueling single-day test of stamina and determination. Participants must complete a 3.8 km swim, a 180 km cycling ride, and a full 42.2 km marathon, all back to back.
On 10 May, my son Nandil, currently in his fifth year at the National Law School of India University in Bengaluru, took on this extraordinary challenge at Ironman Vietnam. After just 7-8 months of preparation, he completed the challenge in approximately 16 hours.
As a father, it fills me with immense pride to see his discipline, determination and perseverance. I wish him the very best for the journey ahead and for many more milestones in life.

@chiragbarjatya Do you know cockroaches are nutritional powerhouse with around 60g protein per 100g plus they are loaded with B12, zinc & iron etc. They’re sustainable, efficient, and literally the future of food. 🌍💪
English
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR SUGGESTING THIS NUCLEAR BOMB. I had no idea i was living with so many cockroaches in my home!!! Every morning looks like trump pressed the button
Chirag Barjatya@chiragbarjatya
Guys, what is the best way to deal with cockroaches? I have tried everything possible available on Amazon. Please suggest something useful. Pest control ain’t helping nor can I keep my house empty got two cats and a kid.

@Kyangs_Thang This is so true.I am a vegetarian from NE and love to call my diet tribal vegetarianism.
English
Fun Fact: North-East Indian diets tend to include more variety of nutritious vegetables and herbs than most people in the rest of India imagine.
Yes, there's meat. But it's not all meat. The amount of tropical fruits and veggies that grow there are astonishing.

It started with “let’s just eat something light” and somehow turned into this 😋

The Assamese political identity was a colonial and post-colonial construct to begin with, starting from the invention of the Assamese language with a borrowed script by Baptist missionaries and Bihu after independence.
Kaushik Rajbongshi@KaushikRjbnsi
The inevitable consequence of the various tribes and ethnicities asserting their identities separate from the assamese identity is that the Assamese identity has been vacated for the likes of Vijay Gupta and Ashok Singhal.
English
@rajatsaha_ @Nrig021 Ah! This is all you are left with, I can understand.
English
@rajatsaha_ @Nrig021 Similarly Assamese script was also borrowed from nowhere. Both Assamese and Bengali went through heavy standardization in the colonial period. Same applies for both.
English
@rajatsaha_ @Nrig021 Was the Gaudia script exculsive to Bengali? Where is the Current Bengali script borrowed from?
English
@rajatsaha_ @Nrig021 Man, he had already produced important literary and devotional works before he left the Ahom territory. There were important works of Madhavdev too who was vey much in assam all his life
English
@Nrig021 @rajatsaha_ Bengali itself was heavily standardized and modernized in the colonial period by William Carey and other missionaries, is Bengali a colonial invention?
English
@Nrig021 @rajatsaha_ If Shankardeva was banshied for some time he and his language suddenly stops being Assamese😂
English
@rajatsaha_ You should be better done with false claims and shifting goalpost.
English
@rajatsaha_ So he was not an Assamese and his work was not in Assamese you mean?
English
@pp_rover Sankardeva was from Baro Bhuyan community settlers. He was banished from the Ahom kingdom and he settled in Koch kingdom, presnt day North Bengal, where most of his literary activities were carried out.
English
@rajatsaha_ Assamese had proper literature since the 13th century — Sankardeva was writing Borgeets and Ankiya Naats when Bengal was still busy with Persian court poetry. Missionaries printed it, they didn’t invent it. Your ‘colonial construct’ theory is getting more fictional by the reply.
English
@pp_rover More than 70% of those who list Assamese as their tongue in the census don't speak it as their mother tongue. There is no literature in that specific lect which got standardized, nor was it called Assamese before the Brits arrived.
