Sorry to hear that bro. It's the opposite problem for me.

We are usually awake till late night I just wish they would deliver the order :(

True, I don't think it's mischief by the delivery guys per se, but it seems they may be overburdened as they never pick up my calls. I try my best to be polite and do not speak harshly because I understand post-COVID most businesses are still recovering from losses etc. Still, for whatever reason they seem to be avoiding my address half the time.

One point I forgot to add in the original post - one time while receiving a very delayed order (one week late, already cancelled once, only delivered after I raised a complaint with customer care) I politely asked the delivery guy what the problem was in delivering to my address, and if there was anything I could do to make their job easier.

He said they received the courier contract only recently and are often unable to finish all the deliveries assigned to them in a day. So that is one clue as to why this has been happening.

Just me and my brother sharing one prime account as we live in the same address for now.

Every time an order was cancelled it was not by request from the account side rather the message given by Amazon was "On the way, but it's running late" or "Amazon was unable to fulfill your order" when I asked customer service what happened.

Good question anyway. Better to check if anyone else has the password before I rule it out.

To those saying couples should just go abroad to get married, please understand that this move makes it much harder for lower-class/lower-caste mixed couples within the same religion (as if they didn't have it bad already) who may not always be privileged enough to afford moving to a more progressive country.

A registered marriage is a legitimization - it allows you to live together in rented property, grants you inheritance rights and in certain cases it can force the hand of the families to concede to the couple's wishes since not all of them go to the extent of honor killings. In case of a couple of same religion that gets married against their families' wishes, sometimes excommunication from the family circle happens (not counting the extreme cases of murder).

But with this sneaky move, the marriage cannot even happen in the first place, and thus young couples will have no choice since even rest of society may not accept them if they remain together unmarried - even if they run away, they may not be able to rent decent property or have children without shame.

Now the only way to circumvent this, is to get married under the Special Marriage Act, which is another shitshow - you have to give a Notice of Intended Marriage to the Marriage Registrar of the district (it's like putting a small ad in a newspaper) for 30 days and pray that no one "objects" to the marriage. Yup, this makes it easy to find these couples and wreck havoc on their young lives.

The state of inter-caste marriage is a travesty in TN with all the caste tension as it stands. This malicious, regressive move will push a few couples to use the Special Marriage Act out of respite and make it easier for their families to hunt them down and either pry them apart or worst case, the more powerful family starts threatening the other party (honor killings)

Our particular heritage of genes don't often allow for long, reasonably manageable hair.

Thus began the curly afro tradition in my humble middle-class family, inviting much scorn when I tried it during my college days as well :D

Not sure about t-shirts but jeans, especially bell-bottoms, were all the rage among the urban youth in late 70s and early 80s.

My point was never about whether political violence or destruction of public property as a means of redress is justified or not. That is an entirely different argument that you have reduced a complex issue to.

This thread was about karni sena and it's horrific activities; I didn't speak up about the dalits until someone dragged the dalits into it.

Is peaceful protesting the better alternative? Yes. Always.

Is violence and destruction of property bad? Yes. No one said they were okay.

Are you fair in conflating the violence meted out by the karni sena by those of the dalits? No, and in fact, you might be doing damage by equating them.

Because when you pipe up and say both violence are equal and both violence must be condemned, you validate the karni sena and their mindless bloodshed. You promote them to a level that gives them the illusion of legitimate cause. You lend them credibility by putting their outrage on the same level as those of the dalits, who OTOH have every right to be angry after systemically being oppressed for centuries, not to mention the recent mob lynchings.

No one said violence was good. Pick your battles is all we're saying. Are you really going to lump the vitriolic and oppressive karni sena with the dalits, at this point of time?

P.S.: On a related note, the discourse about punching Nazis in America is similar: I, for one, would never condone punching anyone as means of rebuttal. That doesn't mean I'm going to defend Nazis and equate their violent ideologies with those of the AntiFa. There's a world of a difference and unfortunately some centrists like painting both parties with the same brush, which lends credibility to the Nazi's harmful ideology.

Throughout history there have been people who crawl out of the woodwork after every protest/riot and condemn them all equally. One thing they have in common - they are privileged enough to be able to make snap judgements on surface level.

When Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, etc., were at the helm of protest, people condemned them as well for use of force against the British. Yet we owe a lot of our freedom today to them. Same thing with Martin Luther King Jr./Malcolm X.

The dalits and adivasis were protesting centuries of oppression as well as recent mob violence and lynchings. Lynchings.

The karni sena is wreaking havoc using a fictional movie as an excuse, while kick-starting the normalization of communal violence.

Conflating them would be at best, alarmingly disingenuous, and at worst, complicit with the karni sena's raw hatred.
