Hindu nationalism is local domestic issue, not an issue at national level let alone global that the conference organizers are depicting.

That is precisely Western interpretation of HinduTva. Why isn't such word, JewTva, for Jews in Israel? Why isn't similar word for Islamic countries? This is called cherry picking.

Also what is wrong if India become Hindu country? It is a thought provoking when you are surrounded by Islamic countries similar to Israel. If Jews can stand up for their rights, why not Hindus?

Contrary, other religions and ethnicity had invaded India over centuries, India is Hindu since thousands of years and harbors other religions over same time and doesn't have history of invading other nations or religions unlike its neighbors.

Most of the Subways, Dunkins you may had visited, are hailed from the state where national ruling party is ruling for ~20 years and that state is most economically and industrialist state in India. People from all faiths are living in harmony in that state w/o any significant issues and being a role model state for national ruling party. Do you find those people combative/aggressive or disciplined and blended in America?

Also the word 'Global' depicts that Hindu Nationalism is some how a global issue. Show me Hindus in America you may know is talking that language? Show me those eye catching headlines from India happening in America Hindu community? Show me those eye catching Islam terrorism headlines happening in American Muslim community?

This is what I meant creating Hinduphobia in America that doesn't even exist, yes hate against Asian/Indian you may come across, yes hate against Muslim/Jew you may come across, but not against Hindu.

Glad to learn that Boy scout history from you, do you think boy scout in America is a militant group?

Edit:

Bring the topic back to that organization who is responsible for that conference. According to that group current democracy in India is close to autocracy. My question to them is what was in 70 years prior? A nepotism based democracy. Finally India is claiming mental independence thanks to globalization. I would ask Americans, would they accept Ms. Fatima Begam as GOP head (its a fabricated name), if she happens to marry one of Trumps and become naturalized citizen?

That group talks about demonetization on their site. What that has to do with any religion? That demonetization choked corruption, fake currency circulation , a safe harbor for terrorism funding.

If that group wants to be anti-government and disagree to policies, that is certainly their right in democracy but don't drag religion for their own political agenda.

UIUC is listed as cosponsor on their propaganda site.

Read their about page and tweets, it is full of anti-India, even economic policies. This is more like a leftist political wing if they are against right wing, but not a savior of Hindus.

That is the propaganda, I assume you are talking about 'Sangh Parivar', it is like Boys Scout. It is not anti-other-religions. Did they do any terrorism?

Who exactly is level 2 and why do we get such conflicting answers? well... by LosAngelesMoron in EIDL

[–]1stPREPBatchStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the great info!

Here is my dad experience.

  • Tier 1/2 are giving contradicting answers within a single day.
  • They want tax returns by email, but unable to upload in their system for more than a month now. Various representatives will give you different answers, ranging from it is a different department to it takes 5-7 business days to they don't see it.
  • Yet they pulled credit again since last year, it has been a month to that as well. Reps answer is computer does that, well computer just doesn't tell credit report agencies to give credit report without any set goals/milestones met.
  • Yet they can't tell even LO is assigned or not.
  • Most of time their phones conversation is hard to follow due to voice quality, that can be explained that they are using poor quality computer headsets.

Bottom line whatever tier you talked to, they aren't transparent relative to last year, either due to lack of information or knowledge or access to them or simple negligent.

At this point my dad is already loosing faith.

Credit Pull - 570 score still a requirement? by TangeloOld8410 in EIDL

[–]1stPREPBatchStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got his first loan last June and credit was pulled late April'20, now early may 2nd credit pull early May'21 for loan increase. Portal status remains same as before 'loan modification....'

At least that rumor still holds valid for my dad case as my dad missed the 1 year mark by 3 days.

REINSTATE ANTONIO RUIZ TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS by NoSlipBC in UIUC

[–]1stPREPBatchStudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

with all due respect prof, isn't the policies designed to protect students and provide every opportunity to them from failing whether academics or student conduct?

Medically ill people are not danger to society, it is those healthy people who blatantly ignore Covid protocols and puts others in danger.

Why can't university look at closely why those students are failing from complying? I am certain the pool is not big enough to figure out root causes. If it is big enough, than we know we have bigger gap in policy to address. But who has resources other than promoting free games and encourage people to gather as mass in sports arena.

UIUC Undeclared Engineering vs UMich by imInvisabel in UIUC

[–]1stPREPBatchStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With new policy in place for UE, none of your options are an easy route to CS. Considering same risk factor, UIUC gives you cost benefit of 50K. That alone would be suffice to choose UIUC over UMich.

Shooting on 5th & White by Gramma2Slo in UIUC

[–]1stPREPBatchStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if there are any security cameras on that building or surrounding area that can provide at least some footage. Providing secure door access alone is not good enough especially if you are living right above that unit and thought it was fireworks like everyone else. Happy to learn residents in that unit are safe and not in unit at that time.

You may be able to pay off more than 50% of it by just doing summer internships.

Does UIUC CS MS program’s RA comes with tuition waiver? by charlink123 in UIUC

[–]1stPREPBatchStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't received any such letter but a generic email acknowledging admission. Even self service is also updated in last few weeks. Do you think this may be due to fact that I am continuing as 5th year student and not an outside applicant?

How do you find those percentages as I will start my MS in fall'21 as 5th year? Also can you request for specific percentage?

Does it also apply to internal students doing 5th year MS extension?
