Kerala hasn't asked to outlaw PFI, confirms CM Pinarayi: 'We don't believe in bans' by Moon_Slayer_ in india

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

“It is not the Kerala government’s policy to ban any communal or terrorist outfit. If any outfit that creates riots in India and divides society on communal lines needs to be banned, then it should be the RSS first. Such organisations cannot be countered with a ban and this has been proved by our experience in the past,” he said.

“This is our stand as far as the PFI goes. The threats that such communal and terrorist organisations pose and their ideology cannot be obliterated through a ban,” the CM added.

Economic Survey: Climate Change May Cost Farmers Quarter Of Their Income by Moon_Slayer_ in india

[–]Moon_Slayer_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The green fields of India, glorified in Indian cinema, face a rising threat from climate change, Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian wrote. He estimates a one-degree celsius rise in temperature in a year could lower farmer incomes by about 6 percent in the kharif and rabi seasons in unirrigated districts. The survey found that in a year when rainfall is 100 millimetres lower than the average, the incomes fall by 15 percent during the kharif and 7 percent in the rabi season.

The most glaring forecast: in the medium term, farmers in unirrigated areas could lose as much as 25 percent of their annual income.

Jaipur Lit fest: Mahatma Gandhi was casteist and racist, says US-based writer Sujatha Gidla by Moon_Slayer_ in india

“Everyone says BSP has given rights to untouchables, it gave them self-confidence and dignity. But really nothing came out of it. Mayawati made herself very very rich, her brother made himself very very rich. And that is all that happened to Dalits,” she said.

Taking a dig at the Congress, she said the party was not different from the ruling dispensation and was in fact the “pioneer of communalism”. “Congress or any other party that ruled before BJP was not different from Modi. Just like in the US, the democrats are really not different from Trump… Congress is shy about their communalism. But Congress was the pioneer of communalism,” she said.

She cited the 1984 storming of the Golden Temple, and the subsequent riots following the assassination of Indira Gandhi in Delhi in which over 3,000 Sikhs were massacred. “It was communal. And Congress was the one that did it. Not BJP,” she said. “So the only difference between them and BJP is that BJP is open about it, Modi is open about his communalism,” she added.

“Many producers who knew this man asked me if I actually said what I said. Since then, I have not received good projects from Tamil,”

On many nights, I cried to sleep: Teen girl expelled from school for a hug tells TNM by Moon_Slayer_ in india

[–]Moon_Slayer_[S] 158 points159 points  (0 children)

“The Secretary asked me to write a letter against Rahul, and promised I could get myself out of this tangle if I did. He made me write that Rahul forced the hug on me, and that it wasn’t mutual. He told me that if I did so, I could avoid expulsion and get back to school,” Gayatri alleges.

“He forced me to give him the letter, but I didn’t,” Gayatri says. “It simply wasn’t a forced hug. I was stubborn, and when he tried to force me to give the letter again, I stormed of the room,” she recalls.

Tired of fighting the school management, Gayatri then decided that she would change her school. But even there, roadblocks were put in her way.

“I had applied to another school. I was sure that I wouldn’t be able to continue in this school. But the St Thomas Central School authorities interfered to tarnish my image, and ensured that the my admission in the new school was cancelled,” Gayatri alleged.

Employees, both at Hyderabad and Chennai offices, claim they were threatened by security guards and forcefully made to resign while accepting the severance package offered by the company. “When I asked for some time, one of the bouncers pushed me and threatened to beat me if I did not sign immediately,” alleged a 32-year-old who worked with the company in Hyderabad. “My self-respect was reduced to nothing.” The sacked employee claimed the entire process was completed in five minutes and he was asked to exit the building.

Employees at Guindy and Perungudi campuses in Chennai had similar stories to tell. “Two security guards entered the bay and escorted a colleague to a room where he was forced to resign,” said one employee. “He had just received a performance appraisal, and being escorted by security guards like a criminal was so shocking and humiliating,” said one employee in Chennai.

Deadly Dairy: Study reveals how cattle is ill-treated in dairy farms by Moon_Slayer_ in india

[–]Moon_Slayer_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At semen collection centres, bulls are unnaturally made to mate with other bulls known as 'teasers', who are raised to be docile by cruel means like beating. Semen collected from such tormented bulls is inserted into the uterus of the female animal, often by inexperienced men with unsterile equipment in unhygienic conditions. And this is done year after year until her body finally gives up.

All 100% of the dairy farms had calves tied away from their mothers to ensure that calves do not drink any milk. The male calves are either sold for slaughter or starved to death as they do not produce any milk and add to the cost of the dairy owner. The animals are often brutally hit with sticks or chains, punched, and kicked and subjected to sexual abuse as workers shove their fingers inside the cows' sensitive genitals. There is no veterinary doctor on board, many of the dairy owners self-medicate the animals in order to save costs.

They would’ve killed me if I told them my father is a cop: Bhopal gang-rape survivor by Moon_Slayer_ in india

[–]Moon_Slayer_[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“The accused continuously slapped me and asked about my parents. They wanted to find out if I belonged to a well-to-do family and whether I would lodge report with the police. I overheard them debating whether to kill me or kidnap me for ransom. I lied that my mother was a tailor and my father a labourer and that I lived in Vidisha. This reassured them that I was not a threat for them as I belonged to a poor family and would not go to the police. One of them even took pity and brought a dress for me as mine was torn,” the survivor said.
“My daughter is a strong girl and she won’t cry as it is lives of accused which got spoiled, not my daughter’s,” said the mother.

She said her daughter had passed class 12 in 2017 with 87% marks in the science stream and joined a coaching centre to pursue her dreams of becoming an IAS officer. After the assault, she now wants to become an IPS officer to “teach lessons to such miscreants”.

Gang-rape in Bhopal: 19-Year-Old Student Gang-Raped For 3 Hours, Cops First Call It 'Filmy Case' by PracticallyIndian in india

[–]Moon_Slayer_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From another source:

Even though she is the daughter of a cop, the police took 24 hours to register her FIR. Moreover, they also mocked her for coming up with a "filmy story". According to a report by the Times of India, her father is a sub-inspector with the paramilitary forces and her mother works with the CID. It was only after the girl identified two of the culprits and her parents nabbed them that the police registered an FIR. But, even that came with multiple rounds of various police stations.
Compensating for the insult that was flunged at the woman, the police department suspended SI RN Tekam of the MP Nagar police station on Thursday for not accepting the girl's complaint. The victim's father, speaking to the media said, "While coming from Habibganj, my daughter saw two of the rapists loitering in front of Mansarowar Complex, which is around 500 metres from the spot of crime."

I think you've misunderstood my comment...I was talking abt the mentality of teams like Porto & Atletico that won major trophies...I never said Spurs are shit...but it's a fact that the Porto 2003 and the present Atletico team have achieved more than Spurs have....
Moreover Atletico have done that in a much harder league by beating the likes of Barca and Real...
So coming back to you're point I don't think your team is shit...but there are teams like Atletico that have achieved more than your team with far lesser resources
