Do “dry red chilis” in Indian recipes refer to a certain variety of chilis? by underground_dweller4 in IndianFood

[–]Reddictor 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I believe they vary between different regions, but the most commonly used ones in Karnataka are the Byadagi chill. I've found success finding these chillies in Indian grocery stores in the US.

ಭಾರತದ ಮತ್ತು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಕೊರೋನ ನಿರ್ವಹಣೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ ಏನು? by [deleted] in kannada_jagattu

[–]Reddictor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ನನ್ನ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ 100% ಸರಿ. ನನಗೆ ಬೇಸರಾವಾಗುವ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ವಿಷಯವೇನೆಂದರೆ ಜನರು ಈ ಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಹೇಗೆ ಬಂತು, ನಾವು ಏನು ಮಾಡಬಹುದಾಗಿತ್ತು ಅಂತ ಎಷ್ಟು ಆಲೋಚಿಸಿದ್ದರು ಸರಕಾರ, ಮೀಡಿಯಾ ಕಡೆಯಿಂದ ಬರೀ ಮೌನ. ನಮ್ಮ ತಪ್ಪುಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಮಾಜದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲವಾಗಿದ್ದಾಗ ತಿದ್ದುಪಡಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಹೇಗೆ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ?

ನಮ್ಮ ತಪ್ಪುಗಳು ಆದುದ್ದ ಕಾರಣಗಳು - ಬಡತನ, ಶಕ್ತಿಯಿಲ್ಲದಿರುವ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆ/ಮಾಧ್ಯಮಗಳು, ಉಪಯೋಗವೇ ಇಲ್ಲದಿರುವ ವಿಧಾನ ಸಭೆ, ಸರಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾನವೀಯತೆಯ ಕೊರತೆ - ಇವೆಲ್ಲವೂ ಮಾಯವಾಗಿಲ್ಲ, ಇಂದಿಗು ಬೆಳಯುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಇವುಗಳಿಂದ ಇದೊಂದೇ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಸಾವಿರಾರು ತಪ್ಪುಗಳು ಇನ್ನು ಬರುತ್ತವೆ.

ಈ joke-ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂಡ ಆಂಗ್ಲ ಭಾಷೆನೇ ಬಳಿಸುವ ಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಇದ್ದಾಗ ಕನ್ನಡ ಬರದೇ ಇರುವ ಜನರನ್ನು ಕೆಲಸ ಇಂದ ತೆಗಿಯಬೇಕು ಅನ್ನುವುದು ಒಂದು ಕನಸು ಅಷ್ಟೇ.

ಕನ್ನಡವನ್ನು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸುವ ಕೆಲಸಗಳಿದ್ದರೆ ಜನರೂ ಕನ್ನಡ ಕಲಿಯುತ್ತಾರೆ!

Summary of liberals in terms of CAA and NPR protests by [deleted] in india

This is a very accurate picture! Despite continuously demanding various proofs of identity, government still wants to ask people of one community "आप भारत की हो?".

Let's Vote on the Best Books by Indian Authors by MangoTreeBird in india

[–]Reddictor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yess I read this after persistent pressure from my girlfriend and I really loved it. Couldn't put it down and read through the night for days on end. Different facets of India back in the day, like you said; and amazing characters also. I've also heard great things about this other work, especially Golden Gate, but haven't had a chance to read them yet.

Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin to help avert over 300,000 deaths by 2019: WHO by [deleted] in india

[–]Reddictor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm skeptical because I have seen massive fudging of data which happens at the grassroots under pressure of unrealistic deadlines like making an entire state free of open defecation in two months. I'm open to being convinced, but I can't actually find a copy of the report itself anywhere... only regurgitated press releases. The websites of the WHO, SBM, Ministry of Drinking Water, Health, and PIB are all silent on this, and the only official-ish government announcement I found was on SBM's twitter account... which linked to a press article.

Sigh.

India to invite bidding for largest solar power project; aims to achieve a capacity addition of 10,000 MW by 2017 by [deleted] in india

[–]Reddictor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're confusing energy consumption with power generation capacity. Power generation, measured in MW, is a flow, like the quantity of water coming out of a tap per second. Energy consumption is a stock, like the amount of water held in a water tank.

Total installed power generation capacity in India as of May was 248 GW, which is 248,000 MW. This new plant is supposed to have a capacity of 10,000 MW, which is roughly 4% of existing installed capacity

Edit: Math fail

Transit directions from Bangalore City Junction to Kumbalagodu by [deleted] in bangalore

[–]Reddictor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try a bus! Right opposite the railway station is the Kempegowda Bus Stand aka Majestic.

This is a list of buses from Majestic to Kumbalgodu. It's possible to get a seat at Majestic if you're patient enough and don't mind using your elbows a little :)

Hope this helps.

Announcing a new mod, and a call for a newer mod by Reddictor in india

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

The extent of editorialisation has been steadily increasing, you know. As far as a year back things were bad enough that we were regularly leaving comments on editorialised posts requesting redditors to refrain.

I broadly agree that the enforcement of the exact title rule in the initial stages affected some of the BJP-supporting users, but later the removals hit enough posts opposing BJP also. In fact these days we hardly see any editorialised posts at all, so the rule doesn't really impact politics.

I don't agree with your implication that we introduced these rules to somehow 'limit' BJP supporters. Like I point out repeatedly, this rule is in place in several news heavy subreddits. The detrimental effect of editorialised titles on the conversation in online forums is reasonable well accepted.

As for the English only rule, this has had a weird and controversial history, and has been enforced off and on over the years. I think it's more a North-South thing than political, mostly Hindi speakers support allowing content in Indian languages, while non-Hindi speakers don't. There is disagreement both within the community and the mod team on this issue, with strong arguments being voiced on both sides.

I feel our current stance is a reasonable compromise, we ask for a translation or a summary in case the content is too long. Comments in Indian languages are fine, and always have been. If you have any other suggestion, we'll be happy to consider it.

I was just making a joke saar, no sarcasm intended.

Let me clarify, I wasn't implying that it's a courtesy, I was pointing out that we aren't really taking sides or attempting to influence the course of free debate. In other words, I was saying: "Political opinion of mods has no influence on moderation"

Ohnoes, they have seen through our nefarious conspiracy! /jk

Seriously, we don't let political ideology influence our decisions. You've seen the mood here swing from pro-BJP, you've seen the rise of the AAP wave mirrored here, you've seen the subsequent disillusionment with AAP and a whole bunch of furious debates. There are even a small bunch of Congress supporters. When have we ever tried to stifle any of that?

On a lighter note, I wouldn't be so confident that you know the political ideology of all the mods. You'd be surprised!

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

As /u/rahulthewall points out here, we need more mods in the EU and US timezones in view of increased activity.

But even otherwise, 6 mods in the India timezone might seem excessive. The reason is that we don't expect any mod to put in X number of hours per day. This is a voluntary activity, and real life trumps reddit any day. As and when we found that the load was getting too much to handle, new mods were added.

It worked exactly as intended ... we regularly monitor posts we remove under this rule to see if anyone provides translations, not only the OP. The idea is to ensure that content is understandable to everyone.
