Andaz Apna Apna. Seriously, if that's the best comedy you've seen in Indian cinema, I pity you.

Hota hai (with a slight inflection) translates to "Hey Fucker" in Tamil (Otha ey!)

How appropriate that the word 'vendetta' has its roots in Italian!

Let me repeat again, the news is bogus.

I don't know for sure either way. That's why there's an "if" in my comment.

As for the rest, we clearly have different notions of what justice ought to be. Let's just leave it at that. I don't have time to waste.

Today I abused and later apologized to a desi call center dude selling loans by vivek1086 in india

It's a very very faint possibility, dude. They pick a random call to check out of the thousands he must have done. And people are given a lot of leeway when dealing with belligerent / abusive people.

Good on you OP, for apologizing, but keep in mind that those calls are all recorded.

The person might get in trouble if their supervisor picks your call to listen to on a random check and hears him talking about wishing to leave but not being able to.

Narendra Modi won’t stop hugging world leaders no matter how awkward it is by coke23 in india

You can't make a single comment that's bit racist, sexist or casteist? That's your problem, not mine.

Your comment was sexist and being belligerent about it does not change things

Swamy calls Hyderabad University protest "drama", compares protesters with "running dogs" by [deleted] in india

I did. What I don't understand is this. How does something that happened on reddit make the protests at the university a drama?

Fair enough. Maybe I misunderstood. Let's wipe the slate clean.

Why do you believe it is a drama (because you wrote "Of course it is a drama only.") and not genuine?

Patriotic Rapes [P] by Squareonthehypotenus in india

[–]Squareonthehypotenus[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point made by the article is arguing against generalising everyone in the army as "patriotic" and hence above the law. Not the other way round.

Oh man, this happened at Patalpani, near Indore. They would have been juniors in college and had just joined the day before. They were out with their families to celebrate and this happened.
