@Tweets_of_Oscar Not really lol, as in they don't explicitly support it. I meant in a hyperbolic way that they wouldn't support this kind of pro-life talking point because it is pro-women

This is kinda true for incels in countries with a history of sex-selective abortions/infanticide.

@dasyu_amsha Hinduism had similar Reformist movements like the Bhakti movement but they ended up getting subsumed into mainstream Hinduism and the actual reformatory thought behind them was lost
English
Problem with Islam is that it still has not gone through its Protestant Reformation.
Problem with Hinduism is that it neither went through standardization of creed like the 325 CE Council of Nicaea, nor did it undergo Reformation.
Problems besetting Hinduism is 2X that of Islam

@Birdyword Weren't British drinks like Sasparilla and Dandelion and Burdock were the precursors to it?

I think it's telling that with all of its global cultural influence, power and financial prowess, America could not convince anyone in the rest of the world to drink root beer

Anyone else miss root beer?

@Enbyyrevived Marathis are central Indians. Konkanis can be both, depending on the region

What about marathis and Konkanis 🤔

@number_pizza111 The fact that it is used to decide people's future is bad enough, especially in that it's tied into religions like Hinduism.
I know of people who were "ill-suited" for marriage because of their stars, or weren't allowed to live their lives a certain way because of it

Any statement of the form “X isn’t used to oppress minorities” is untrue. People can and will use every framework that exists in order to justify oppression.
Much of the time people are not applying the ideas correctly, but they’re still invoking them.

My theory is that every country in the world has its liverpool - a messy post industrial city thats kind of shit, has a strong accent and punches above its weight culturally
France - Marseille
Germany - Köln
Italy - Naples

@gauravsabnis This is fascinating, given that lemons were probably first bred in India itself.
The big lemons you get in the foothills of the Himalayas have the subtle floral aroma and delicate flavour which you find in Meditterranean lemons, so these are probably closer to the original ones
English
That is because the common lemons we get in India are not lemons at all! They are a variety of limes. They are sold when they turn yellow so the name lemon has become common in India.
But real lemons are a different thing. Which is very hard to find in India.
Jedi Master Plo Koon@sa3leye
@gauravsabnis Lemons in India are so mid. I mean I had lemon from Mediterranean region with decent Indian food sold there ( the lemon is insanely and adds so much depth )

Funny how the Minions movie considers Napoleon a villain despite the director bring French.
yimmy o'toole@yimmybastard
This is retconning Minions lore. In the Minions movie it was revealed that between Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 and 1968 the entire population of Minions were in a Siberian cave. This was a workaround so they didn't help Hitler, which is now back on the table

I saw this sketch and found it funny, even though I did in a sense feel "attacked" by it.
You should be able to take a joke on yourself, and recognise that what you enjoy may be cringy, and still continue to enjoy it nonetheless
Alaric The Barbarian@0xAlaric
Really dislike the most popular brand of sketch comedy being “it’s cringe when people express any genuine sentiment, because someone else before may have experienced the same thing.” Might be more socially toxic than Woke ever was. The premise is that enjoying things for their own sake is shameful because it might define you as a Type of Guy, so in order to have any genuine emotion you have to couch it in irony to avoid the vulnerability of existing in a continuous sense. Instead of liking a song and thus worrying about how that reflects on you, you inhabit a character that’s The Type of Guy Who Likes That Song for a few minutes. It’s not you, it’s someone else. You’ve never experienced an emotion, except for irreverence and computer-mediated reflexive derision for those who do. We should throw rotting fruit at “sketch comedians” (who do nothing but iterate out the last few cracks of real human experience) in the streets, as the Romans once did to actors and other undesirables

@bamzz___ It doesn't matter what u think as a liberal but what liberal ecosystem is promoting. In case of hindu girl married to muslim then she have to convert to islam & follow their religion but in all case where muslim girl married to hindu man then they say she will follow her religion
English
Personal story🧵
Hindu friend from Pune has been doing roza for a week before Eid since she was 16. In solidarity with her Muslim best friend (who gives up meat in Shravan with her). Very cute friendship.
Says only in recent years, she started getting bullied over it. /1
English
@sanjayc33439748 Again, I don't see how this is related to the topic at hand.
But again, I don't follow celebrity news but the cricketer Shivam Dube is married to a Muslim woman.
It's weird you think Muslim actors are marrying Hindu women as part of a grand conspiracy
English
@bamzz___ 2) Through bollywood they have always promoted muslim hero r marrying with hindu actress , SRK,Saif ali khan, Amir khan etc but rarely if any muslim actress marry with hindu actor then they won't promote this (Eg : Katrina, vicky kaushal ). Through TV adds also they r doing same
English
@sanjayc33439748 I don't see how this is related to the topic at hand, but regardless, I am an Indian liberal who supports interfaith marriage regardless of gender, so here you go.
English
@bamzz___ 1) SHOW ME one 🇮🇳 liberal who is promoting so called interfaith marriage where muslim girls r marrying hindu boy. Everytime when they talk they will bring some hindu girl & muslim man to tell that look how hindus r bad that they r threatening to kill her bcz of relationship
English
@kroketrendang A lot of the imperial propaganda posters (especially the wartime ones) show Britain and the colonies as a global brotherhood. I would have been the Empire's strongest solider if this was true
English
@sanjayc33439748 @gauravsabnis He literally mentions in the very first tweet that the Muslim friend have up meat for Shravan, you clearly did not bother to read carefully
English
@gauravsabnis Isko upwas bolte hai bsdk. This is how they selfmade the story & in their story you will always see Hindu 🕉️ girls & doing everything for a Muslim man. U won't see muslim girl doing the same for hindu man. Bcz they want to promote love jihad, they did it through bollywood, ads
English
@kroketrendang Yeah that's what I think people say that British schools should include every last bit of imperial history.
We can barely cover all of it in India, how do you possibly cover the history in all colonies + British and European history

It's finally that time of the year. Happy Indian summers to those who celebrate !

Reading about how Finland standardised the Finnish language in #Konkani. This crossover is wild!!
English
@The_Equationist Yeah, and it is probably also easier to get the gist of French than German, as an English speaker.
English
Genetically, sure. But thanks to shared tatsama loanwords, Sanskrit has much more mutual intelligibility with Kannada and Malayalam than with Latin or Farsi.
sid@sidmodur
hindu nationalism doesn’t hold up to the basic fact that sanskrit is infinitely more similar to latin, farsi or even english than it is to kannada, tamil, or malyalam
English
@The_Equationist What is this retarded concept where linguistic similarity is supposed to be a prerequisite for any kind of camaraderie
Anglos didn't hesitate bombing Germany with the help of the oh so hated French and Russians
