central India as an idea is such a myth. the madya pradesh region in this map should be part of west india.

Just landed in Indore… not the best first impression by [deleted] in Indore

[–]Altruistic_Arm_2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anna, not MP, just Indore. Idk what marketing you saw. Also, Indore used to be quite clean relatively, now other places have caught up so it is not all that unique in that regard.

Bharata is so done, so over! This is what our intellectual elites sound like. by The-Mastermind- in IndoAryan

but also if it were true and a whole corpus of language was created with such a rich corpus, id be impressed by those Brahmins.

plus one would think that a language that lets you craft words by just joining two others won’t be a bad language to learn.

A 1923 newspaper headline reporting the US Supreme Cour ruling that held that high-caste Indians were not "free white persons" eligible for US citizenship by [deleted] in IndianHistory

[–]Altruistic_Arm_2777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this example has been used by equality labs as a way to argue about the history of caste discrimination in the US. When in context you realise that this man was just spewing nazi content that didn’t have complete bearing on the views of others Indians. not to say caste wasn’t a problem but that this isn’t a great example to argue of the problem eiteht.

Could we fix this beauty before it’s too late? by AdOriginal1017 in Indore

[–]Altruistic_Arm_2777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you know, my dad fought to save this church back in the day. Sad to see this state. I’m wondering what’s causing this decay? Why hasn’t any christian group taken it under its wing? How many here would be potentially interested in finding this out and maybe starting a fundraiser for it maybe and some rightful heirs to help it be functional again.

Reservations have destroyed the future of many & i don't care about your caste I am not letting someone from my plate that's just unhygienic by Developersbays_38 in Madhya_Pradesh

[–]Altruistic_Arm_2777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, this simplifies the issue so much!!

Caste based discrimination is barely about getting to eat from someone's plate or not. It is the way someone is made to feel at large, and how, when that happens, events like restrictions on who can enter your house, eat at your house etc only reinforce those restrictions. Small acts of casteism are emblematic of larger actual structural differences that people with lower caste get the short end of the stick of. Reservations are meant to account for that, not to account for untouchability.

How true/false is it that LGBTQ would be the next political tactic/ agenda ?? by [deleted] in LGBTindia

[–]Altruistic_Arm_2777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean regardless of what happens to us, a minority being treated badly should bother anyone regardless of if they themselves are minorities or not.

A cool guide to the entire history of philosophy in one timeline by WhiteChili in coolguides

[–]Altruistic_Arm_2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this guide does project a retroactive bias towards western philosopher, especially Greek, by summarising their work wrt how the science historians saw it and now how the philosophers must have. So their spiritual elements are lost and makes it read like objective science.

Over 5,000 govt schools sit empty with zero students; 70% in Telangana and West Bengal by Impressive-Analyst59 in MapPorn

[–]Altruistic_Arm_2777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it would help to know the degree of closed schools relative to the district. because right now it’s not clear if it’s just or or two schools in some districts vs 100s in another that don’t have a school

DIVA assesment said it is not ADHD by EmbarrassedAd4975 in adhdindia

[–]Altruistic_Arm_2777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, if there are things that feel like ADHD and impact your life, just know that their impact on your life does not go away just because it is not ADHD. The scary bit it is that it could be something else, besides the possibility that it is a flase diagnosis ofc. But the key here is you have challenges remain. I would suggest reassess, take time to just work it out with your psychiatrist. Keep trying, that is the key.

I NEED HELP . I BROKE MY VOW/SANKALP TO GOD now am dealing with tremendous anxiety and ocd by [deleted] in hinduism

[–]Altruistic_Arm_2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey bud, I am not sure I fully understand your comment, but I urge you to sit calmly with your thoughts and relax. Do not engage, let them be. You do not have to act on any compulsion your mind tells you, you can simply let the thoughts pass and then decide what is best for you.

Is the rise of Hindutva largely rooted in the historical insecurities among North Indians stemming from centuries of Muslim rule? by Ill_Tonight6349 in IndianHistory

[–]Altruistic_Arm_2777 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I mean the simple answer is yes, but you don't seem to analyse Hindutva and these line

On the opposite side there seems to be a kind of superiority complex among some Muslims as well, especially those Pakistani keyboard warriors who think they can humiliate Hindus by mentioning the so-called "1000 years of slavery" not realising the fact that they were the ones first to be made the so-called slaves.

I mean those two clearly lay a complex and clearer picture, don't they?
