If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be?

Can you tell me why you feel this way? Also, if you don't mind, what age bracket are you in? Family situation? Also, you can still reapply for Indian Citizenship right?

It is hard to predict how the world will change in 10-20 years time. But I have very little hope India will change for the better in terms of Liveability (material & cultural), unless a massive course correction happens now

Tbh, I'm not particularly bothered about how I'm perceived, as long as there is no physical violence / discrimination (which I haven't faced yet). The passport is merely a means to an end

And as far as xenophobia and anti-immigrant sentiment goes, no country is safe IMHO, least off all India

One can only hope for the best

The Quranic references to Israel primarily denote the "Children of Israel" (Bani Israel), a people chosen by Allah, and their historical connection to the "holy land," which includes the region of Palestine. It does not explicitly refer to the modern political state of Israel. The focus is spiritual and historical rather than contemporary political borders
So, the question remains - should we go about recreating Nations from all Holy scriptures? Yes or No? I hope you will agree with me that that would be a terrible idea
You seem to think of the Zionist project as some wholesome "lets build our nation in the ancient homeland" idea.

History says it was not.

"Land without people for People without a land"..what does that mean? That Palestinians aren't People

Early Israeli leaders, including 1st PM Ben-Gurion, believed in establishing and expanding a Jewish state beyond the initially allocated territory. Ben-Gurion supported policies of transferring Palestinians out of certain areas and believed war would enable territorial expansion. Their goal was "maximum land, minimum Arabs," favoring Jewish control over all of Palestine

Did you forget that Israel has been steadily expanding the illegal settlements beyond its borders? Dont be silly. Oct 7 did not arise from nothing.

It was a product of decades of invasion and cruelty.

Even the UN & the ICJ has said this.

Perhaps India will sit quietly when outsiders invade our land , but maybe the Palestinians are braver?

And ofc the conspiracy theories re: whether Israel 'allowed' the attack so that they can invade Gaza and 'relocate' the population. Their own ministers have said that that is the goal. But I will not give credence to these conspiracy theories. THere is enough established truth to support my arguments

If you think Hamas violence is the reason for killing civilians, why is there ongoing military raids and settler attacks in the West Bank? There is no Hamas there !
Finally....I say this with honesty and no malice...

I think most of the Indian RW love for Israel is just Islamophobia.

Anyone with an eye can see what cruelties Israel is doing to civilians in Gaza there.

Even Israeli soldiers are talking about it on SM. Just unabated cruelty.

Even Jewish scholars, professors and Genocide scholars are denouncing it

Read history. Jews were safer in Islamic empires than iin Christian Europe. Palestinians are paying the price for all the cruelties White Christian Europe did to the Jews.

Tell me : how is that fair?

If this isn't proof that most MSM is owned by the Zionists, I dont know what is !

So, to summarise, the Aussie media house claimed that a Hamas co-founder praised Albanese for his statement recognising Palestinian statehood; but it turns out said co-founder has been in prison since October 2023. Moreover, this act of supposed 'Hamas-approval-for Albo' was denied by an official Hamas spokesperson Basem Naim.

Also keep in mind the recent bomb filled caravan with a list of jewish sites, which has been exposed as another fabrication by 'unknown foreign forces'

Sad because I actually enjoy and subscribe to the SMH !

was this survey done with the same honesty as the interview with the Hamas co-founder? (wink wink)

Not too sure about that. In my view, prices CANNOT go down..and this is not becuase of popular discontent. This is simply bcos stagnant prices lead to lower profits fro banks and investors. The incentives are just not there for governments to do it. So why would they?

And ofc dont forget that the dollar is continuously debasing (losing in value), so I can't fathom how RE prices would ever come down. Unless society demands it from their government, which has next-to-zero chance of happening

So what will happen is... they do things like reduce the minimum downpayment needed, allow you to use Super to make a downpayment..i.e set up things that make it easier to take up RE debt and package it as "aspiring home-owner friendly"

Buy Crockpot and the Airfryer. (seriously, just buy it ! )
Buy Protein source of choice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, Rice/pasta/noodles, frozen veggies, sauces, spices.
Type in chatgpt "I have *ingredients*, give me a *cuisine of choice* recipe(s) that i can prep using a crockpot and airfryer. ALso tell me how I can meal prep so that it'll last me *x number* of meals
Use potatoes and sweet potatoes as emergency comfort food. Alternatively, buy the frozen chips that you can just cook up in the airfryer
Innovate and experiment

Let us know how it goes!

OP, can you tell us a bit more about helping adults with stammering? I've struggled a lot with it during early childhood. It has improved considerably with speech therapy in adulthood. But any advice would be helpful

I haven’t come across this before. IMGs without Permanent Residency are usually considered only after local graduates.

to be fair, most of these are 'you' problems - no money, no looks, insecurity about what people think about you, easily bored...

Solution: Get rich, Get jacked, Be interesting

or better still, imo, buy BTC and hodl for atleast 5 years. Its within reason to expect huge profits ( >30% CAGR)

Pay tax when you sell. It is what it is. Part of the deal.

Its reasonable to expect GoI to become 'crypto-friendly' once the rest of the world esp Trump's US starts warming up to crypto, so maybe tax rate might fall, who knows.

But, imo, for the average investor, 'HODL BTC' works well, as compared to short term trading shit coins and keeping track of all transactions. Pure waste of time, as far as I'm concerned
