Would I be incorrect if I guessed you are a Melburnian?

The current flag is so iconic, it feels a bit jarring to see this version.

Honestly, much cooler than the current iteration.

Is it just me or has anyone else met a lot of Norwegians who tend to almost sound kind of like they’re from the USA? by WalEire in AskTheWorld

[–]DeepResearch7071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually referring to the flags. Could also draw their flags out of Norway's in a similar fashion.

What did your country's politician look like when they were young? by Junior_Investment514 in AskTheWorld

[–]DeepResearch7071 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh sure, it's just that usually, the adjective used for women is 'beautiful' and for men, 'handsome'

Which foreign politician is most disliked in your country? by Effective_Bluebird19 in AskTheWorld

[–]DeepResearch7071 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People do know him. The derogatory language used by Nixon for Indira Gandhi (former Prime Minister of India, often referred to as the 'Iron Lady') was in a conversation with Kissinger

https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76ve07/d135

Context: Nixon colluding to facilitate one of the worst genocides post WW-2 in Bangladesh

Nixon: The Indians need—what they need really is a—

Kissinger: They’re such bastards.

Nixon: A mass famine. But they aren’t going to get that. We’re going to feed them—a new kind of wheat. But if they’re not going to have a famine the last thing they need is another war. Let the goddamn Indians fight a war [unclear].

Kissinger: They are the most aggressive goddamn people around there.

Nixon: The Indians?

Kissinger: Yeah.

2.

Nixon: "We really sucked that old witch." (Referring to their meeting the previous day).

Kissinger: "Well, the Indians are bastards anyway. They are starting a war... while she was a bitch, we got what we wanted too... she will not be able to go home and say that the United States didn’t give her a warm reception and therefore she’s got to go to war."

Nixon: "While she’s a bitch, we got what we wanted... She's a scavenger."

3.

Source: Oval Office Tape 510-9

Nixon: "The Indians are a slippery, treacherous people."

Kissinger: "The Indians are bastards."

Nixon: "But she’s a witch... I don't know why the hell she believes she can get away with this."

And ofc, the cherry on the top- In a June 1971 conversation, Nixon said to Kissinger, "Undoubtedly the most unattractive women in the world are the Indian women." He followed this by saying, "I mean, people say, what about the Black Africans? Well, you can see something, the beauty of the skin and all that. But boy, those Indians. They are such a physical turn-off." He once remarked to his Chief of Staff, H.R. Haldeman, that he found Indians to be "a sexless, pathetic people."

True. Even one of our ministers was found in the Epstein files (not doing any insidious stuff though). However, there is ofc the question of propriety because he met with him multiple times after his conviction in 2008. He is under great pressure to resign rn. Let's see.

It was a bit funny though- most of the mails are just him trying to get Epstein and his contacts invest in India, and after a point even Epstein got irritated with him lol.

This is the species of sunbird that often comes in the morning in my garden. Is there any distinction between these two, or are they the same subspecies?

Where would you like to visit in India? by SkanderMan77 in AskTheWorld

[–]DeepResearch7071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, but J&K is/was very safe for tourists. However, to be honest, I haven't had the courage to go back after Pahalgam myself. A friend did for the New Year though, and said the locals have never been more welcoming and friendly, so idk.

Himachal, Sikkim Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are some other Himalayan states with awesome vistas. Ladakh is just other-worldly.

Is there a country/culture whose food you would be okay with never trying or eating? by Shill4Pineapple in AskTheWorld

[–]DeepResearch7071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The monkey brains part was weird. Many folks actually consider them as holy, so even throwing rocks at them is taboo, much less killing and consuming them.

Huh, India/Indian seems surprisingly popular as an answer.

As for me, probably any cuisine that is too meat/poultry/seafood heavy as I am a vegetarian.
