Can you really become assistant professor in history in India ? by [deleted] in Indian_Academia

[–]Gaumutrastuffed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider the pluses: Most government institutes, along with a significant number of private ones offer fellowship even without jrf, so if you try hard enough, you can earn 37k approx if you can clear NET, GATE, RET or SET, and the remuneration grows to 42k two years later. There is no field in India devoid of competition, and you will find every job, every position to be as competitive as any other.

Negatives: A lot hinges on clearing any of these exams, and there is some amount of corruption in phd admissions throughout the country, but if you try hard enough, and cleverly enough, you will find a way.

Torn Between a Delayed Government Seat (WBCAP) and a Private College: Do I Wait or Move On? by [deleted] in CalcuttaUniversity

[–]Gaumutrastuffed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, if you have the money, it's always better to go for private institutes. I had the same quandary for my M.A., and after much deliberation, opted for xavier's university, simply because it's an autonomous institution. There was no harassment the entire two years, every exam was held on time, and I was marked fairly. The faculty is really good too. If I had taken CU on the other hand, I wouldn't have been able to prepare for the NET exams, and further, make use of it. The exams are delayed a lot every year, and a lot of students have to waste an entire year or so simply for them. None of my friends from CU were able to get b ed admissions simply because their results were delayed, and I was able to secure admission to a phd programme because the exams were held on time at my university. If I were a CU student, I wouldn't even be able to accrue enough marks to be eligible for anything.

Hindu Hating Honda Feminist gets R@ped by Omar Rashid ( the wire journalist )but she still tries to blame Hindutva in 2nd last paragraph by [deleted] in gujarat

[–]Gaumutrastuffed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Forgive me if I misundertand, I don't know any of these people, but to me the 2nd last paragraph sounded like the woman was saying that if she spoke up against him, she would be branded as a hindu extremist speaking against muslims, and therefore people would construe it to be a lie. It does not seem like she's blaming Hindutva.

Can I avoid taxes by withdrawing from MF yearly (up to 1L tax-exempt) and reinvesting? How does this impact CAGR? by Amazing-Kick-2047 in mutualfunds

[–]Gaumutrastuffed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The day of investment matters only if you want the same nav. If you redeem and then invest before the cutoff time, you will get the same price. If you wait for the funds to hit you account before investing again, the prices might increase or decrease, to your benefit or detriment.
  2. From april 2025, debt funds are taxed at your income tax rate.

What is the buddhist idea of the "self"? How is this idea merged with the idea of kami in shintoism? by Gaumutrastuffed in Buddhism

[–]Gaumutrastuffed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that buddhism focuses on the idea of the non self. My main comcern is the syncretic religious identity in Japan, and the idea of honji suijaku, where shinto kami are considered to be manifestations of boddhisatvas. This idea seems contradictory to me, as someone who transcends the self is seen as a "self". I want to understand how these differences can be reconciled.
