According to the Migration Policy Institute, the Indian population in the US has almost doubled since 2010. At least 12% (500,000+) of all Indians in the US are now in Texas. Follow: @Carlos__Turcios @DallasExpress

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.

🇮🇳🇹🇷 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.

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 🤷🏽‍♀️

To all of you New Yorkers, the New York Knicks are worth $10 billion dollars. If we dissolved the franchise we could use that money to end world hunger. Stop celebrating greed.

@dmuthuk Why wasn't it sold or nationalized or whatever? Vedanta could have been punished but the plant continued with better environmental safeguards. It was a conspiracy to reduce our copper smelting capacity.

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: - free public college & trade school -$10/day childcare - Special-needs education nationwide 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.
