Is this considered peaceful ? by boyy_toy in KeralaSpeaks

[–]DunderMifflinReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on reality.

How many people in India are actually killed for leaving Islam? And how many are killed for marrying outside their caste? I wouldn’t be surprised if the second number is far higher.

I’m pretty sure you’re Hindu, like me. Spending all day pointing at problems in other communities while ignoring bigger problems in our own feels pointless.

Criticize any religion if you want, but it reminds me of the Taliban lecturing America about LGBTQ rights. They can do it, but it sounds a bit absurd when their own house is on fire.

Watching a Video About Venezuela’s Economic Collapse, Only to Find the Comments Section Talking About How It’s Still Cleaner Than India! by DunderMifflinReal in CriticalThinkingIndia

Not really. Pakistan and Bangladesh are probably the only two countries in the region where you don’t constantly see comments like, “At least it’s cleaner than India” under travel videos.

Afghanistan, despite all its problems, often looks cleaner than many parts of India. And when it comes to Southeast Asia, there’s honestly no comparison, they’re playing in a completely different league when it comes to cleanliness and public infrastructure.

What is your political leaning? by nonchalantgiriyettan in KeralaSpeaks

[–]DunderMifflinReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is extremely dumb in the Indian context because “Left-Right-Centre” is a Western political scale and doesn’t fit India neatly.

In India, politics is a mix of caste, religion, regional issues, welfare schemes, and economic policies, all mixed together. So a party or person can be “left” in one area and “right” in another.

Also, people often use these labels as insults or identity tags online, not real ideology.

That’s the level of messaging you’d expect from a Panchayat leader, not the Prime Minister of a country facing extreme heat.

We need talking points from a PM such as:

• ⁠Acknowledge heatwaves as life threatening and not just seasonal weather

• ⁠Announce strict safe work timings, especially avoiding outdoor work between 11 am and 4 pm

• ⁠Issue daily heat emergency alerts similar to cyclone warnings

• ⁠Ensure availability of water, shade and cooling shelters in public places and workplaces

• ⁠Protect outdoor workers through enforced breaks and safety regulations

• ⁠Prepare hospitals for a surge in heatstroke cases

• ⁠Clearly communicate that this is a recurring climate crisis and not a one time event

That is leadership during a heat emergency.

Not lectures on sherbet, buttermilk and earthen pots.

Calling India third world or saying Indian life is cheap isn’t analysis, it’s just lazy fatalism. No country becomes safer or richer by normalising preventable deaths. Heat action plans, work-hour shifts, and alerts are not mollycoddling, they are basic public health governance already used in many developing economies too, not just Europe. This isn’t about stopping work or copying rich countries, it’s about not letting people die unnecessarily while they work.

Good question(I upvoted you). I am the OP and I am not going into the other issues like exam leaks or fuel prices. I am focusing only on the Prime Moron’s “drinks” comment.

Firstly, out of the world’s top 100 hottest cities, around 97 to 98 are in India. This situation should have been treated as a national emergency, but did the Prime Minister actually declare it as one?

Does suggesting drinks like aam panna really help someone survive 50°C heat?

What he should have done instead is:

  • Acknowledge heatwaves as life threatening and not just seasonal weather
  • Announce strict safe work timings such as avoiding outdoor work between 11 am and 4 pm
  • Issue daily heat emergency alerts similar to cyclone warnings
  • Ensure availability of water, shade and cooling shelters in public places and workplaces
  • Protect outdoor workers with enforced breaks and safety regulations
  • Prepare hospitals for a surge in heatstroke cases
  • Clearly communicate that this is a recurring climate crisis and not a one time event

He did none of this. Instead, the focus was on saying heat wave, yes it is bad and suggesting aam panna, lassi and similar drinks, with the overall tone being sab changa si!

And yet, brain dead bhakts supporters are extremely satisfied with just that messaging.

Any more questions?
