I want us to stop citing Pankaj Mishra, a former bigoted Hindu nationalist lunatic who said he idolized the IDF until it wasn't cool any more. His early pieces on the Israeli genocide of Palestinians also ran subtle cover for Apartheid Israel. He also has no history or geopolitics experience. There are one million other writers to cite who are actual experts and also not former ethnosupremacist losers.
Cars overheating these days? Yes and ethanol-blended fuel is one of the reasons, let me explain. After doing some research and speaking with experienced mechanics, it’s clear that ethanol does impact engine behavior especially in smaller engines (1.5–2.5L). Here’s the simple breakdown: Ethanol has lower energy per litre compared to petrol. So, to produce the same power, the engine has to inject more fuel and work harder. That naturally increases overall load and heat generation. Now imagine real-world Indian conditions stuck at a red light, AC running, temperatures above 40°C. That’s where the stress adds up. This is something both the government and the common user often overlook. The tricky part? You won’t easily notice slight overheating. It’s gradual, silent damage that keeps affecting engine health over time and reduces its lifespan. Honestly, the way things are going, cars may not last as long as they used to. That old reliability of running vehicles for 10–15 years feels uncertain now 4–5 years might become the new normal if this continues. Not trying to argue just observe it yourself, research a bit, and you’ll start connecting the dots! 😉
This picture that Raghu Rai took of Arundhati Roy somewhere in Delhi is a masterpiece that captures what I would call “the male gaze”.
They literally don’t understand comedy or free speech. We are governed by snowflake morons.
Mera Fair & Lovely babua @DripsAjaypal - Hum toh woh log hai joh kaidey se apke Chhota Fanta aur Bada Fanta ka bhi ilaaj kar lete hai!! Herogiri thoda samhaal ke kijiye.
The notion that India is warming faster than the global average is a misconception; the data presents a different narrative. Recent headlines often claim that India is warming at an alarming, unprecedented rate compared to the rest of the world, but long-term observational data reveals a much more complex—and surprising—reality. When we examine the seasonal temperature trends from 1995 to 2024, specifically during the critical March–May (MAM) pre-monsoon season, India emerges as a global anomaly. While the Arctic, Europe, and parts of the Middle East are experiencing "climate fever" with warming rates as high as 0.6°C to 1.5°C per decade, large swaths of the Indian subcontinent show a significantly more stable trend, often hovering between a mere 0 to 0.2°C per decade. This data suggests that the assumption of India warming "faster" than other regions is not only misleading but factually incorrect when compared to the global mean and high-latitude hotspots. This "Indian Warming Lag" is likely the result of unique regional factors that act as a temporary atmospheric shield. The high concentration of aerosols (dust and pollution) over the Indo-Gangetic Plain scatters incoming solar radiation—a phenomenon known as "solar dimming"—which effectively masks the full force of greenhouse gas warming during the peak daylight hours of spring. Furthermore, the maritime influence of the Indian Ocean and massive regional irrigation projects provide a cooling counter-balance that landlocked northern continents lack. While India is undoubtedly getting warmer, the actual rate of change is among the slowest in Asia, proving that local geography and atmospheric conditions continue to buffer the subcontinent against the more aggressive warming trends seen elsewhere on the globe. In short: India is not the warming epicenter the headlines claim it to be; it is, in fact, one of the most resilient regions against rapid seasonal temperature shifts.

A high school student, Mira Trivedi, got a part of her curriculum on Hinduism changed after showing my video to her teachers. I was so surprised and proud to see her stand up when she saw her culture misrepresented in class. I had to speak to her. Listen to this clip!
The Republic of India came into existence only on 26 January 1950, and Shivaji Maharaj NEVER identified himself as an Indian citizen. I am a Malayali, and I do NOT see any difference between Shivaji Maharaj of the Maratha Kingdom and Tipu Sultan of the Mysore Kingdom, because both of them were foreigners to Malayalam civilization.
Leftists have a romantic-conspiratorial view of partition, where Hindus and Muslims were not just coexisting peacefully but reveling in cultural diversity. However, evil Brits sowed religious discord & created countries out of thin air x.com/parhloumahrukh…
@sarvamedha Travancore terminology of 20s or 30s is not same as what Sanghis of today see it. Travancore sees itself as Hindu Country and rest of Indian continent as Hindu dwelling lands. It sees Bharathkandam as a continent just like Europe. From where u infer as Bharathiya civilization.
I wonder if cops can go to Uttar Pradesh on special duty and yell at people in Bangla. Or just Hindi speakers have the right to do so?
A city in China today after 1 day of heavy rain. Unlike India, in most other countries, they don't have a "rainy season" like us with heavy rains for days together. They have heavy rains one or two days. And this is how they suffer when it hits them.
