No other society in the world has a repressive, dehumanising, caste system by birth, from which there is no escape, like the caste system in India and manufacturing false narratives about China's society isn't going to change that.

@AnkitM997 You should read what some senior scholars write about caste system (CS) in China. The current memes are obv sarcastic but CS in China is a harsh reality. Its not explored by many scholars cuz CCP obv won't allow foreign scholars to conduct such studies. In India, scholars can do

In China, people from different castes are often stereotyped as looking different. Shi people are considered the most attractive because they come from the highest caste. Nong people are generally seen as fairly attractive, while Gong people are viewed as average-looking. Shang and Jianmin are often stereotyped as being the least attractive.

I didn't know there was a caste system in China too.

🇮🇳🇹🇷 Canan Çelebioğlu, Chairwoman of Çelebi Holding, spoke for the first time about the cancellation of the license of their company operating in India following Operation Sindoor: "I loved India. That's what made it so shocking. It truly devastated us."
Çelebioğlu, a guest on the "İşte Zirve" program on Bloomberg HT, described the events that followed the Indian government's May 15, 2025 decision.
The chairwoman said that the operations in India were terminated by a government decision and that approximately 10,000 employees were transferred to other companies in a single day. She added that the $400-500 million in value created over the years had vanished in an instant.
Among other things she said:
“We entered India and became the largest ground handling company there. I was obsessed with India — I called it my second country.
“Last year, around May 15th, the Indian government shut us down. They seized all our equipment, transferred 10,000 employees to another company in a single day — and wiped out a value we had built of perhaps $400–500 million. Gone in one day.
“Put the financial loss aside. That place was built stitch by stitch. We spent years pushing the government to change policies, to develop the sector.
“And I loved India. That's what made it so shocking. It truly devastated us.”
Çelebi Airport Services India, a subsidiary of Çelebi Holding, had its security permit revoked by the Civil Aviation Security Bureau (BCAS) of India on May 15, 2025, on grounds of "national security".
Following the decision, the company's ground handling and cargo operations at nine airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Goa, Kochi, and Kannur, were suspended. On the same day, the airport operators also terminated their contracts with Çelebi, and the operations were transferred to different companies.
Çelebi Holding, which has been operating in India for approximately 17 years, initiated legal proceedings following the decision. The company argued that the "national security" justification was not supported by concrete evidence. However, the Delhi High Court found the Indian government's decision to revoke the security permit to be lawful.

My timeline is now full of Indians saying that low caste girls in China are forced to dance for upper caste Chinese men. This is something that apparently only Indians on Twitter know about and no one else.

@RichardHanania It is just trolling to counter the Chinese bots spreading anti-India fake news.

Ohh Audrey, this is sad, but typical of those who are “scholar-activists” rather than scholars…I didn’t call upon anyone to correct our wiki page, the literal founder of the platform, @lsanger did!
And you say that “academic consensus” says we’re part of a parivar, but then the only academic article you quote is one written by you! The others are such examples of scholarship as the Caravan & an anonymous anti-Hindu troll handle called Savera.
You’re really not making a strong argument here 🤷🏽♀️

If Tamil Nadu had unfairly closed Sterlite Copper in Thoothukudi (Tuticorin), the same region would not have continued to attract significant industrial investments afterward.
I am tired of reading claims that Tamil Nadu politicians were part of a Chinese conspiracy to undermine India’s self sufficiency in copper.
In my view, as a large industrial player, Vedanta believed it could continue operations without fully addressing environmental concerns. Ultimately, the rule of law prevailed.
There is no need to take my word for it. If you are willing to spend the time, all the facts and court judgments are available in the public domain.

Musk is worth more than South Africa’s GDP. @BernieSanders and I proposed a 5% tax on people like him.
In one year, it could fund:

Wealth inequality is the moral failure of our time.

Those who celebrate @elonmusk's $1 trillion fortune need to be reminded of a simple and vital truth: That there is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy.

INSANE.
Tarun gautam follows dozens of anti india pakistan affiliated handles, including many of them being woman, he regularly converses with them, they regularly comment on his posts.
All of this seems fishy considering, that he regularly amplifies anti india content, sponsors racism against indians, which can ultimately threatens safety of indians.
@NIA_India , @DelhiPolice , must investigate into this matter
Acyuta@AgniVesa_07
HOLY SHIT. I've always avoided to say this, as i was lacking concrete proof of this... But, now i think its time.. Congress IT cell is the part of larger anti india nexus which operates with the sole purpose of dehumanising indians to such an extent that people don't even hesistate to commit physical violence against indians. Tarun uploaded a video of bangladeshi man, farrukh abdullah, who was licking photos of a lady, and deliberately labelled him as an indian. But thats not it, the interesting part is that he did it right after the anti india telegram channel uploaded it on 8:03 AM IST. THE MASKS ARE FALLING OFF!!

@mehdirhasan @mcuban Owners and founders are supposed to own most of the stock!
English
Yes @mcuban you’re right that 60% of US adults own stock directly or indirectly but what you omit to mention is that the richest 1% of Americans own nearly 50% of the stock market while the bottom half of Americans own just 1%.
Mark Cuban@mcuban
The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did. And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves. One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults. Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life. If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever. Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen. Alternatively There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all. To start - If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers. It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail) Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability. Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up But They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.
