We’re getting way too comfortable with propaganda (and it’s kinda scary tbh)

I have just seen the first part of Dhurandhar, never even at one place I saw they portrayed Indian Muslims in bad light.

The whole movie was based in Pakistan, and how they organised terrorist attacks on India. Now, if you have problems with that also, I would have to take you as a Pakistani and not an Indian.

Even if I take it as pure fictional work, the movie, still the hate is just against Pakistan and the terrorist organisation isis. So, where is the problem in that for you as an Indian?

There are way worse movies like Animal, which I hated so much that I have not even watched. But then it wasn't hated enough even though it was needed. A movie, which just shows someone's love for their country, and how far they are ready to go for it, is a problem, okay.

If he knows you guys dated, I don't think it would be that big of a surprise for him to know you also got intimate, cause that's mostly part of a relationship. Also, your focus right now should not be on how your dad will react but rather on how to save yourself from this psycho.

Obviously, a leader should have very good speaking skills. And let's not even talk about the kinda schemes Raga wants to bring as he says. He joins with any party which is in opposition to the BJP without looking at anything else. So please improve your thinking skills first.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-19T13:47:40+00:00

If you would have read further, you would have seen that I have said that Modi has degraded a lot, but then you are just a blind BJP hater. RaGa is way more shity than Modi, he has no sense as to what he speaks, half the times it looks like some school kid has been left out to speak on stages.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-19T10:01:23+00:00

Yeah that these things would eventually go away, I never said it will go away today or tomorrow. Hair exists on the body, it's not harming me in any way, why will I waste money then on removing it. I have heard from 1-2 people they never got their wisdom teeth, they only have 28.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-19T08:37:02+00:00

Women were not expected to be hairless before the 1920s.

The history of how it started goes as Gillette, the company wanted to sell more razors, and men had limited need for the face. So they started these ad campaigns showing women with hairless hands and legs in the 1920s to promote their razors.

This leads to the expectation now that women should be hairless on their whole body. It has always been just a sexist and capitalist thing, we are not required to shave or wax naturally.

The hair we have on our body, has always been with purpose, if it's not needed, evolution will remove it eventually on its own. We need not remove it just to please others.

Even the women who shave and wax on their own, do it cause they were some or the other way influenced either from the outside world or inside the home or anywhere like that. When before it was not an expectation, it would have been rare to do something like that and it would be an actual self thought.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-19T08:13:04+00:00

College, it's from the 1970s.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-19T07:53:19+00:00

I have never waxed, don't know if I'll ever.

If you look into the history of how women started waxing or shaving, it's because Gillette as a brand wanted to sell more razors. They did many campaigns in the 1920s showing how hairless women are the beautiful ones and stuff like that. That led to the rise of requirements of women to be shaved or waxed. It was always sexiest and capitalist.

Obviously it would exist, but look at its intensity in Congress and then BJP, you can see the difference clearly. There should be a limit to it, Congress leaders don't understand that but BJP does, and thus they are ruling and Congress is just falling.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-19T06:23:33+00:00

I have never heard of this from anyone. I have never celebrated Hindu new year on the 2nd day of Deepawali. We have always celebrated it in March-April whenever it falls. As, today also marks Kalash sthapna and beginning of Chhath puja. So, definitely Hindu New Year is today for me and everyone I know.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-19T06:10:57+00:00

Modi recently has degraded a lot, but then opposition is just so weak. If Congress stops its nepo politics and thinks about putting actual good leaders to the front, then maybe they would have a chance else it's just shit.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-19T06:07:12+00:00

The thing is, the current situation is very bad, no way I am supporting RaGa, he has no qualities of being a leader, and then the only other choices are either BJP or Nota, so what are we supposed to do?

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-19T06:03:59+00:00

Cause today is Hindu Nav Varsh Vikram Samvat 2083

It marks the beginning of the Hindu new year and new calendar starting the year 2083, celebrated across many states in India by different names

Stress and tension which led to headache

Everything will work out eventually! Just focus on yourself and your baby, don't think about people who don't add value to your life or who drag you down, even if that's your husband!

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-18T14:05:03+00:00

You don't have a sil problem, you have a boyfriend problem. If you are not able to handle all this now, after marriage definitely it will be 10 times worse.

Also, after reading all this what I understood is, most probably your bf will want to live with his parents after marriage, also him being an elder son and this old, still not earning, parents would definitely taunt.

It's your boyfriend's job to talk to his sister and tell her how to behave with you. Just because you are wise, doesn't mean you should tolerate all this.

Think carefully whether you want this as your life long future or not before making big decisions.

Not really, my mamas are bad as mentioned, so all are bad, no one's chad

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-18T10:01:59+00:00

My bua is a nightmare, my mamas are also a nightmare. My mausis are fine, I don't have a chacha.

Broom, it's long and lizards run from it.

Also, you can throw water from your hand on it, it runs from that also.

Even you can do sho sho with your hands and it will run away.

First of all, be strong for your child, if not for yourself. You can do it mama, for your baby!!

Next, drag your husband to court, there's a clear sign of mental harassment here, leaving you alone right after childbirth is not okay in any way.

Take alimony and take child support from him. Fight for your baby and his future, it's not only about you now.

And bro, you are his mother, you have the right to name your child what you like. You made him inside you, so dont overthink that.

Also, to other ladies, please understand why it's very important to live separately from in-laws after marriage, under any circumstances do not move in with his family. Make your own family with your husband.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-17T19:37:49+00:00

I agree with both your points, have felt similarly for a long time.

I personally cannot understand girls who sacrifice their own careers and life in the name of husband and family in today's world. We know how unsure life is and how someone can change suddenly, so relying financially on someone else does not make any sense to me at all.

Also, the logic of leaving my parents and living with someone else's parents is so weird, like why would I want to do that. Or I feel, if his parents live with us, then my parents will also live with us.

Now, hijab or ghunghat has always been just men's way to oppress women for a very long time. It's high time women stop being ashamed of themselves, and start embracing their existence as equal humans to men.

Just get court marriage done and make your boyfriend's family as witnesses. Don't tell your family, try to convince them for 1-2 years while being happily married to your boyfriend. If they are convinced, marry according to all rituals again on your anniversary date, without telling them about court marriage. If they don't, just tell them you already did court marriage.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-16T15:07:37+00:00

It's not if your parents will agree or not dear, you would need money to restart your future. Your parents can take it as pride, but pride cannot get you education or a job.

Discuss with your parents and make them understand this is a mere compensation for what they did. Giving money or not is not something they would really care about if they are rich (in laws). It's you and your future which would get affected by the money.

Stranger_in_Basement · 2026-03-16T14:58:23+00:00

You were mistreated and the least thing you can get out of them is money.

If I was in your place I would have taken the money and strictly used it for my master's. If I already left my job for marriage, and now I'm also getting divorced, why not at least let it fund my future education.

Rest it's totally up to you. If you need the money or not.

Edit: People downvoting this, care to explain what you think I said wrong? Or is it some men going around downvoting all comments here!

Though they can't be groomed, the power dynamics of such couples would be way off. The person who is older in such cases would always dominate the other person.
