@mssharma @visegrad24 He will sell his girls when he gets the right price. Girls are traded like cattle there. Sick society
English
@visegrad24 What a bullshit take by the BBC. The man is willing to sell his daughters because he doesn't care about them. they're female and thus a commodity. There's no plight for him. He is the problem here, not the buyers.
English
The BBC portrays an indebted Afghan father selling his 7-year-old twin daughters into sexual slavery with adult men as a man who is forced to make difficult choices

@AwliLuwlyKoli @visegrad24 An American soldier in Afghanistan noted that Afghan men count only their sons as children and exclude daughters altogether.
Selling their girls for money is a cultural practice. They are like cattle to them. Poor or not, they sell their girls and then do this RR on camera.

@visegrad24 These men are brave.
SO brave that they'll strap explosives around themselves & blow up children & women in busy markets.
SO brave that they'll sell their daughters for a loaf of bread.
Gotta love these men.

Parents/Grandparents starved to deth to feed their children.
You people disgust me.

Where are the UN and child protection organizations while Afghan young girls are being sold because of hunger and poverty? This father in Afghanistan was forced to sell his 7 year old daughter after his children went two days without food. This happen today in #Afghanistan.

@CrooningQ @narendramodi I'm sorry did you honestly think "Swede" was a synonym for "White"?

@grayzoneintel @narendramodi Where is the native culture of Canada, USA, australia, mexico, argentina, chile, uruguay... Where is it???
Hypocrisy is thy name.

@narendramodi why are you exporting your culture to the West instead of "assimilating"? Would you accept mass migration to India to impose our culture on you? Or are we just accepting that this is conquest now?

Firdous Jamal is a 71 year old well respected actor in Pakistan.
He claims that the concept of actresses in Pakistan is around teenage girls. Any actress in Pakistan should be around 15 year old or 20 year old max. Any man should have the "Voh ho Jaae" wali feeling after looking at an actress.
Every man in Pakistan is a potential pedophile.
I am not surprised that men of Pakistani origin are involved in majority of the grooming gang cases all over the world.

@IndianTintin_ Wrong answer Tintintin..
Both sexes pay for promiscuity. In a free society like India ( & not taliban) a father's double standards suffocate his daughter into early rebellion.
You can't choose an amoral life for yourself and think your children won't follow along. 😭😭
English
My primary problem with feminism is that they don't understand psychological differences between Men and Women. Humans have existed for 1.5 to 2.5 Lakh years. 99.99% of this time, women were not promiscuous. Promiscuity for them often meant death. They are simply not evolved to 'date many Men'. The emotional baggage destroys them. Men dating many women otoh is aspirational. Hence, tu kare to stud main karoon to slut. Because being a stud(promiscuous male) is very difficult. Women know this. No woman insults a Man by calling him promiscuous, the go to insult is 'virgin' or 'involuntary celibate'. Similarly, no Man insults a woman by calling her a virgin. These norms emerged out of lakhs of years of trial and error.

B£00dywood Joker Kiara Advani's उच्च विचार- "I'll let my daughter date as many men she wants. No need to marry guy she dates, she can EXPLORE" Says she herself did same before settling down with Siddharth Malhotra👌 Reminded me 1 American phrase: 'Bitches don't train Bitches, they just raise them to survive' There was a reason why in olden times Bhands were not allowed to stay with the society. Were forced to stay outside the villages or cities.

@subatomicriot @weather88n5 @ABHIandNOW I am from uttarakhand, and yes most are non vegetarian but non-veg is eaten sparingly. Like 2-3 times a week at best in cities and less often in villages where the animal is freshly slaughtered and consumed fast.
Protein here is mainly-dairy, lentils, millets and seeds.
English
Friendly reminder that vegetarian states have a higher protein intake in India.
peeleraja@peeleraja
Unpopular opinion. Basically you have no problem when cults deprive school kids of proteins by imposing vegetarianism in govt school midday meals. But god forbid a cult member president feed veg food to a rich foreign dignitary and you guys will cry foul and demand she feed butter chicken. This is why we are backward. Campaign for proteins in schools. Foreign dignitaries can feed themselves.

Humming is such an underrated and powerful tool for reducing stress + inflammation.
In fact - some studies show it can improve stress measures more than things like sleep or exercise.
It works by stimulating your vagus nerve, the most critical nerve in your parasympathetic nervous system.
This has a strong relaxing effect and it also is directly innervating with your spleen - which means it connects to your immune system.
This is why vagus nerve stimulation is being studied for tons of different inflammatory conditions, even autoimmune diseases.
It's super easy too - try doing it for a few minutes and see the results.

@_kumbhkaran No, Merit is a subset of Competence.
Merit systems measure some dimensions of competence, but not all.
Intrinsic love for the work is often a stronger predictor of long-term mastery.
"People who enjoy the walk will walk farther than those who merely enjoy the destination."
English
Sir with due respect, I want to know the difference between merit and being competent.
Based on my limited understanding, I believe competence is a subset of merit; one can't be competent without being meritorious.
Amrish@CodenameBazinga
@_kumbhkaran there is difference between merit and being competent. Are you competent enough to hold Head of Engineering position at any org? If yes, go through the interview process and work!

This romantic “come back and suffer for the nation” narrative is completely out of touch. You can’t ask people to trade stability for struggle while basic systems still fail them. Nation-building isn’t about glorifying hardship, it’s about creating conditions where talent wants to return, not guilt-tripping a few into it.
Stop packaging systemic gaps as “mission” and “glory.” Fix infrastructure, governance, and accountability first, then people will come back on their own.
English
Most are misunderstanding the message from @svembu. This isn't about "hey India is now like Singapore, come back"; this is about hardship and coming back on a mission to have an impact. I came back after 15+ years and wrote about it here (share.google/01MTe6cUKz6T3n…). This isn't for 99% of people out there - they should stay back, build their careers, etc. Everyone has that right. This is about a very specific type of individual who wants to go through the difficult nation building phase but didn't have the opportunity ten years ago. We didn't have any s-tier AI research, or climate, or space or robotics work happening here. Today we do, there are career options for those wanting to do real cutting edge work in private sector and academia. There is capital. Government support. There is definitely glory at the end of the suffering. But it was never going to be easy. It's easy to quote things like 'ask not what your country can do for you' etc, but there's a reason that that generation in the US gets so much respect. It's a very specific type of an individual who'll return this call, quietly, without Twitter ragebait on all that's wrong in India. I've met a bunch, there are more coming. You know who you are, DMs always open. Just don't expect flowers.

Open letter to Indians in America. -- Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat: Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way. Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned. You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict. Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect. Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself. As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal. Respectfully Sridhar Vembu

Normal Guy@Normal_2610
South Korea is the Most Cunning Partner India have :) FDI Comparison if we do - Korea total investment in Vietnam is 13-14 times higher than in India. Vietnam economy is only 1/10th India's size. Samsung alone exports $54 billion a year from Vietnam. India has huge market but gets less factories and jobs. Vietnam got the real manufacturing boom. Even Recently Samsung going to build new factory there in Vietnam, in case of china we know the problem but in case of South Korea they do business under Radar, even this is bigger than i Imagine How South Korea Used free trade deal with India is just a Case study - when yu read it in detail yu will get it. Korea got a free trade deal (CEPA) in 2010. Under that deal, Korean goods entered India at zero or low duties. Samsung, Hyundai, LG used this to sell massively into India - phones, cars, appliances. India's imports from Korea went from $10B to $21B. India's exports to Korea actually fell - from $8B (FY22) to $5.8B (FY25). The trade deficit tripled from $5B to $15.2B. But selling wasn't the only play. The real play was value extraction: Hyundai - Paid itself a ₹10,782 crore special dividend (7.2x its normal payout), then did India largest IPO - 100% offer-for-sale. Every rupee of the $3.3B IPO went to the Korean parent. Then raised royalty rates from 2.5% to 3.5% per car. Three moves, one after another, all designed to drain cash from the Indian subsidiary to Seoul. LG - Same template. 100% offer-for-sale IPO, $1.4B to the Korean parent. The Indian subsidiary now trades at $12.5B market cap - higher than the Korean parent itself. LG used Indian investors money to value an Indian business that it still controls and still pulls dividends from. Samsung - Royalties paid to Korea jumped 50% to ₹3,322 crore in one year. After Korea changed its tax law in 2023 (no tax on foreign dividends coming home), Samsung pulled ₹22B worth of dividends from all overseas units in 9 months. India was one of the biggest sources. Combined - Hyundai + LG alone pulled $4.7B out of India in 12 months. All legal under CEPA. Best way to fuck RBI stricter Foreign Outflow What Korea did in Vietnam (same period) Korea put $92B of FDI into Vietnam. India got $6.7B. India economy is 10x Vietnam size. Samsung alone runs 6 plants in Vietnam, employs 100,000 people, exports $54B/year from there - that's 13% of Vietnam's entire exports. Vietnam got factories + jobs + exports. India got imports + deficit + cash extraction. Why Delhi stayed quiet for 15 years Diplomatic politeness. Also, during 2010–2020, India negotiating leverage was weaker. India needed Korean investment, Korean tech, Korean defence platforms. So the imbalance was a known problem that time but that time of dealmaker didn't think of long term MEA Secretary Kumaran publicly named the $15.2B deficit before President Lee landed. Commerce Minister Goyal called the 2010 CEPA irrational and lopsided. This was intentional signaling. What India wants in CEPA 2.0 - Four things: Services access - Indian IT exports to Korea are only $200M (vs $200B globally). India wants visa quotas for Indian engineers in Korean semiconductor/AI projects, and recognition of Indian professional qualifications. Pharma access - Indian generic drug exports to Korea are just $167M. Korea has rules that kill generic price advantage. India wants those removed. Forced local content - Like what Vietnam and Indonesia did. India wants 50% local value-addition by year 5, 70% by year 10. If you want to sell in India, build in India. Reciprocal sourcing - For every $1B defence/steel/shipbuilding contract India gives Korea, Korea must buy equivalent value of Indian services, pharma, components. Must read this Article: swarajyamag.com/economy/the-im…
QME
I agree that trade should become more balanced over the long term, and advancing CEPA could help. But this line of argument is not convincing. Before negotiating, we should at least start from the same page.

English
Trust me, I’ve been criticized in Korea for trying to understand and convey India’s perspectives on trade and the CEPA upgrade.
But this line of argument leads nowhere.
We need a more objective, clear-eyed assessment.

In the last 12 months, Hyundai & LG together took $4.7 billion out of their Indian subsidiaries and sent it to their Korean parents. Samsung's royalties to Seoul rose 50% in a single year to ₹3,322 crore. All of this is legal under India's trade agreement with Korea. 🧵

Sikandar Raza said he felt truly embraced in India during his IPL stint, especially by Punjab fans who treated him as one of their own. He shared a close bond with locals, including visiting a friend’s home and staying connected with the family. Raza also enjoyed time at Arshdeep Singh’s house, bonding with his family over food and conversation. He added that his stay in Chandigarh was peaceful and memorable.

Eye floaters are bits of protein tissue that drift in the eye and cause cloudy spots.
A natural remedy that may help is liquid MSM, short for methylsulfonylmethane. It hydrates and cleans the eye, reduces inflammation, and softens tissue.
It can also support dry eyes and improve nutrient delivery.
See how this simple remedy may help your vision.

@Drtcnwakile @OrevaZSN @royal_t_online I disagree.

You don’t escape it. You compound within it.
