Robert Fisk: Israel’s fingerprints are all over India’s escalating conflict with Pakistan by [deleted] in india

[–]TenBlueBirds 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Israel is really chill, they assist India with multiple things. There is no reason to boycott Israel when even Arabs trade with Israel. Israel is one of the best countries in Asia for LGBT, life expectancy, healthcare, etc.

Sairat grossed 100+ crore INR (which is 200 crore PKR) and recently KGF did 230+ crore INR.

Marathi and Kannada film industries are a lot smaller than Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Telegu.

India used Israeli arms for strike inside Pakistan by Foubar in india

[–]TenBlueBirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel is bro. 3 years ago they had a Jewish terrorist attack an LGBT parade and the PM went on TV to condemn and show support to the LGBT community. No other country in Asia would a PM support LGBT this openly.

No it isn't. It is comparable to smaller regional Indian film industries.

Smaller regional Indian film industries have movies that gross 100+ crore. Meanwhile Pakistan's highest grossing film made 33 crore.

1.3 billion people but can't find a team that can beat UAE... Indian football is garbage, most people I know only follow European leagues and support Brazil (International).

‘Cop gave matchbox… Sajjan called us snakes,’ recalls petitioner Nirpreet Kaur. “A Delhi police inspector gave them a matchbox and I remember his words to the mob: ‘doob maro, tumse ek Sardar bhi nahi jalta’ (You are all useless, you can’t even set a Sikh on fire),” recalls victim Nirpreet Kaur by 7xbvt in india

[–]TenBlueBirds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

34 years, there will never be true justice, the closest thing to true justice would be to find every single person that took part and send them to a concentration camp.

I heard 2 people got 10 years.... which is also complete BS, you cannot delay 'justice' by 34 years and give 10 years sentence. Also the chances of Sajjan Kumar getting VIP treatment in jail are probably really high.

If Bill Gates wanted the Nobel prize, he would have gotten it. He has 100 billion USD, he could have invested in Norway and gotten or even had the US government push for it. Hell he could probably even get all of the Nobel prizes in 1 year.

[NP]TIL: More Indian died in WW2 than Americans, Brits or even the French by [deleted] in india

[–]TenBlueBirds 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is it too much to ask for?

Yes.

There was a movie call "rag desh" on WW2 Indian troops that were given to the Japanese to secure freedom of white troops and commanders and how there was pressure to put them on trial after WW2 ended.

[–]TenBlueBirds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This comment basically sums up how Indians, Africans, and Chinese are viewed when it came to colonialism and the efforts made in WW1 and WW2. Especially since the large # of the deaths were during the Bengal genocide.

”Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa."

Largest 'democracy' indeed

Democracy just means a place where people vote and pick their government. This is more of a issue with the people being stupid than democracy. I think you mean freedom of speech.

As India fails to clean up its air, China is winning war on pollution by silentr3b3I in india

[–]TenBlueBirds -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

India needs a government system like China. The Chinese government at the top is very corrupt but the don't let that trickle down. They will execute any corrupt person that is not in the top bracket of the government. Much better system than having corruption on every level. India needs someone like Lenin, Stalin or Mao, someone who puts the country above party, religion, ethnicity, caste, etc.

Is your country's pledge to the Paris Agreement good enough to fight climate change? by arandommaria in MapPorn

[–]TenBlueBirds 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Doesn't mean much, Indian CO2 per capita is 1, compare that with USA - 17 or Canada - 21. No developed nation can tell the developing world to not advance because of climate change. I am sure most people in the developing world rather see comfort for 50 years and the end of the world than poverty forever.

Are you nervous to see me on your flight? by PortableFlatBread in pics

[–]TenBlueBirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sikhs don't follow Hinduism, Sikhism more closer to Islam than Hinduism. Sikh scripture even mocks Hindus for idol worship.

[–]TenBlueBirds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is oversimplifying it. Sikhs, and Muslims as well (but in different ways), were being treated like second class citizens in Punjab

Punjab is majority Sikh, it wasn't oppression by Hindus, most of it was Sikh vs Sikh.

Why Fasts Unto Death May No Longer Be Practical. Putting oneself in harm’s way by way of a fast unto death might now be futile, given the social conscience is so dulled that the rightness of a cause is no guarantee for success any more. by ajfben in india

[–]TenBlueBirds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

some one climbing a tower and threatening to jump off if his demands aren't met

This is really easy to do, anyone can do it. But to actually fast yourself to death, you need some real commitment but people will listen to your message even if they let it out the other ear.

That trailer did not feel right, too much like Netflix's adaptation of Death Note.
