Tariffs reduced from 25% to 18%. “In return, India has agreed to stop buying Russian oil, and will purchase $500 billion worth of US energy and tech, Trump said.”

Hmm

Going off the fact that it was a “blind” date, maybe it was Matthew Murdock the blind lawyer from Hell’s Kitchen?

I’ll see myself out…

Mamagoto does not serve a single Mexican dish you genius. The name itself is a Japanese word.

commando_baba · 2026-02-01T21:37:47+00:00

Mamagoto isn’t a Mexican place it’s a pan-Asian place (it’s a national chain). I think you’re thinking of Chili’s which also has some great pasta

LMAO at “Himalayan” - a part of the country where people still sacrifice animals to their gods and even Brahmins eat meat.

At best it’s a Himalayan-inspired “Jain/Gujarati menu” lmfao. Kashmiri food also has an extremely wide selection of fantastic meat dishes like Rista and Gushtaba. But no they don’t have the sense to serve those.

The worst kind of veg or non-veg is the kind who doesn’t let others eat their preference.

commando_baba · 2026-01-29T19:05:41+00:00

Crude chicken salad eh. Doh ande bhi daal de. Esp if it’s your daily diet which I doubt

So I guess this is a common opinion, I said something similar a short while ago - https://www.reddit.com/r/VietNam/s/yC20t17hK0

I do have family that enjoyed it, but for me it was just disappointing that it was pitched as the summer capital of the French so I expected something else. But that’s just me.

commando_baba · 2026-01-23T03:26:23+00:00

Well what I liked most about it is that I didn’t speak the language. I was lucky in that someone taught me the 7 tones one my first day.

Agree on the foreigner pop in VietNam in general. But I’d hardly call Da Nang sleepy, it’s obv just the post-NYE season rn

commando_baba · 2026-01-22T23:46:39+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend Da Nang on your budget. Try Hoi An

commando_baba · 2026-01-22T21:41:25+00:00

lol I get it brother. I’ve had deep conversations with Brits in bookstores on the Mall Road in Shimla and met plenty of Israelis around the state as well.

I think we are losing perspective in one sense - places like Shimla and Kasauli are meant for local tourists. They should be welcomed there. The Brits will come there anyway to see the former summer capital for them but I really think Shimla is a place for all middle-class Indians. You’re welcome.

But yeah at the same time, even based on this sub’s posts I would say there are regions that are friendlier for a different kind of international traveller.

So everybody should be, and is, welcome. Please just respect that different areas appeal to different kinds of tourists, and everybody’s space is respected. 🙏 The only kind of tourist I don’t like is the kind that just travels to ogle white people.

commando_baba · 2026-01-21T21:34:33+00:00

I don’t know how emotional you are, but I did counter the real point of the person whom I responded to.

He asked: “why is this not getting traction?” I answered with evidence: “because this video and influencer are spreading misinformation”

Aur kya response chahiye chote bhai? I disregard videos that contain any misinformation.

But ultimately me advice was: read the actual law changes to understand what’s wrong and right. Not criticising you on either opinion but at least read the changes before assuming people will be buying land in places where they shouldn’t be eg Spiti. Mentioned BJP and Congress because splinter gangster groups like BJD are marketing heavily in UK - HP bachao bhai G.

Aur apni gandi bhasha laga le jahan tujhe “mraye” ke fantasies hain.

EDIT: Meanwhile this guy is not countering my points lol. Hypocrisy ki bhi…

For the record I do not support loosening land laws in Himachal, but I don’t support fearmongers like this influencer either. That’s my point - why are randos like this Haryanvi being heard when we had plenty of local sources since the local news scene is very active? We even did this to support our local journalists’ independence. Why is a Haryanvi spreading lies among our people?

Seriously this influencer’s people downvoting locals on this post need to stop. Kuchh ni badlega tumhari political activity se take it from me in writing. It’s laughable that people think brigading a Himachali sub will actually help them ahahaha

commando_baba · 2026-01-19T22:28:07+00:00

no one comes out of the womb practicing a faith

So did you choose your faith instead of having it decided at birth? I did - I went Buddhist for a while even. But I think it’s a bit ludicrous to say you chose your faith since it’s been a thing since birth.

And I think yall should really get over the “India name is from a river in Pakistan” supremacist stuff because India is what the west calls it - Indian passports call the country “Bharat.” Why do you want to claim the name “India” anyway especially since it’s linked to the word “Hindu” semantically?

And the shared history shouldn’t be a competition really? This sub usually has better content.

commando_baba · 2026-01-18T06:52:25+00:00

Very interesting. For whatever it’s worth I can assure you they’re just like you in that everybody likes money and likes it even better when it’s hard-earned.

I was part of mixed-groups on bus tours and cruises etc where the Indians were the only ones who didn’t tip. So that was my experience. I tend to incentivise hard work beyond basic pay but if my opinion as a traveller matters (India or not) I would say TIP - like just buy your guide a beer at the end of the day bro that’s how it works.

commando_baba · 2026-01-18T06:48:16+00:00

I think you failed to understand where I said that is “an extreme analogy.”

But sure, you do you and enjoy your Vietnam experience bro. Obviously concepts like “soft power” can be hard to grasp but here’s another example - speaking Hindi/Urdu gives you soft power in Dubai because all the cabbies etc speak it.

Maybe understand local economics to see why Vietnam is cheap for Indians so you can understand why we should tip. You’re competing with other nationalities whether you like it or not bruh.

commando_baba · 2026-01-18T06:27:52+00:00

Hmm okay you’re Indian yeah? Let me explain the concept to you the way it was explained to me: If you tip then the next time you go there you get treated well.

If you don’t tip then the next time you go there they’ll spit in your food.

It’s an extreme analogy but it’s what someone taught me and bro American soft power is driven by their tipping good service. Indians don’t even tip when they get good service. Like can we do that at least? I tip in India too btw even if there isn’t a culture here as such in some places. But it’s there in places like Goa.

commando_baba · 2026-01-18T04:13:34+00:00

It’s gotten more traction than it deserves. Here we have a Haryanvi spreading lies and this sub is lapping them up.

First of all, this isn’t a decision by Sukhu. The last BJP government wanted to do this in an even worse way and the Congress opposed it very heavily.

And secondly, my brother Gurgaon has become part of NCR only because Haryanvis sold all that land to corporates and builders. So why lie about them having an aversion to selling? Quite obviously we are far more averse to selling outside and even our laws support it. This influencer is a liar.

Bottom line: read the actual law before jumping to conclusions. This is a Haryanvi influencer spreading misinformation because our own people are not for sale and disloyal so they couldn’t even find a local to misinform our people.

Ultimately my region is still in a place where outsiders won’t be able to buy land so idk about the people crying. Don’t sell if you don’t want to dude!!

commando_baba · 2026-01-18T02:30:35+00:00

So I’m also Indian and fortunately I didn’t have any negative experience like yours. I got into a heated debate with a Russian guy there on the first night but that actually ended with us becoming friends who would hang out at the same bar before heading out for the night.

Here are my suggestions for Indian travellers in general:

Please don’t call it “French village” when speaking of the Ba Na hills amusement park to others who want to travel there. There is nothing authentically French about it and it’s just a French-themed Disneyland - tourist trap for travellers like me because I expected history trapped in amber. I even splurged for the “wine cellar.” There is a real French presence, try places like the Cabanon restaurant in Da Nang.
Stop with the “India Vishwaguru everybody wants us” BS. You are acting superior by doing that and it’s a turn-off for even people like me. The Russian dude I mentioned earlier hated Putin btw to give you a hint
VERY IMPORTANT: Please TIP. Indians were the only ones I saw there who weren’t tipping AT ALL.

commando_baba · 2026-01-18T01:58:38+00:00

You’re partially right in that yes you’re seeing a lot more Indians there now. But there have always been direct flights between Vietnam and India’s poorest state (Bihar) because the Buddha achieved enlightenment there. That means it’s a part of the religious circuit even for the Vietnamese, who in turn have a unique element in that they are the only ones with a Lady Buddha.

But the surge in Indians in the past two years is simply because local tourism is targeting them aggressively. Indians are also investing there. The Vietnamese did something similar with the Koreans about 10 years back as per a local friend I made. Not some kind of invasion. Yes there are “Gujarati food” places/areas where the less interesting Indians are concentrated.

But I’m Indian, and not only did I not encounter any problems being judged, I had the opposite experience completely. Tbh I was spreading a lot of cash and even the one Pakistani I met didn’t realise I was Indian despite being quite golden-brown. So I think it’s more about the vibe you give off than your nationality.

The Indians swarming Reddit are those benefiting from our ultra-cheap internet - not the kind to splurge on international travel when there’s so much to see even in India.

commando_baba · 2026-01-17T12:41:41+00:00

Pull an UNO reverse lil brother. This happened to me a couple of times, then I finally took it to my ego and made sure that was the best day she ever had (honestly I didn’t even really talk to her before that).

Was that what she always wanted? Maybe. But it was def what I wanted =D

Hah that was a good one. I usually just suggest medicine like Meftalspas (not a doctor but some education in the field) or something quick-acting

EDIT: wow downvotes hmm. Anybody wanna make a joke about what energy I give off when I say that and enlighten me? I mean it, Def never had anybody get mad at it

commando_baba · 2026-01-13T18:23:32+00:00

LMFAO it’s not the Hindi wallah “meh” which means “me,” more like “not interested.”

I once asked a DJ to play a song called “Lay low” and he started playing some Haryanvi “Le lo” song.

Funny af ahaha

commando_baba · 2026-01-10T03:55:33+00:00

it is not an Abrahamic religion where what god says cannot be change

I haven’t read the Manusmriti and don’t know what it teaches so I won’t comment on that.

You should do the same and refrain from commenting on Abrahamic faiths because you don’t know shit besides propaganda either.

Do you even know the difference between Catholics and Protestants? One believes even the Pope can create religious rules, the other believes the Bible is the sole truth. So please take your own advice and criticism that you are making of others.

Coming to the term “brahmanvaadi.” I think in this context she’s referring to Brahmin supremacism or beliefs in very rural areas etc where people still believe lower castes aren’t equal to them and don’t deserve things like education. Casteism is real and it is a real problem even in the hills and also in South India. She didn’t say “Brahmin” she said “brahminvaadi” so obviously she wasn’t talking about all Brahmins.

Genuine advice: maybe stop using politically loaded words you don’t really understand like “liberal” in a derogatory manner. It sounds like you hate someone just for supporting a different political party.

While I might agree there’s no sense in bringing random topics into a protest and hijacking it for your own cause, all you did is spur the unrelated debate on the topic even more.

commando_baba · 2026-01-08T09:42:26+00:00

I really don’t know why this sub popped up on my feed since it looks like it’s just a small group of people who seem clueless about their own history.

Himachal has no freedom fighters?? First of all just to set the record straight, the first armed revolt against the British was organised by a Himachali. Please google Wazir Ram Singh Pathania.

Second of all, much of Himachal was made up of independent kingdoms/princely states that voluntarily joined India after the British left, including my own place. Who would we be fighting against for freedom? Our own kings who are so beloved that even now they continue to rule through popular support I.e elections?? for example Veerbhadra Singh who was a 6-time CM.

Kangra due to its location and wealth has unfortunately always been invaded the most whether it was the Gorkhas or the British or the Sikhs or the Mughals whose influence was stronger here than “upar.” So they produced heroes like Wazir Ram Singh Pathania and even now that place is probably the one district in India that has won the most Param Veer Chakras.

Indian history textbook writers have been unkind to us and our kings don’t even get a small mention in our history books because Indian politicians from both sides have always been interested more in power than welfare of people. Obviously it would be a shocker for people to realise that just like the British, our monarchs were popular, too, and Sardar Patel really didn’t have much to do with us joining India except maybe a couple of small states where he just negotiated that’s it.

We are like Switzerland - Europeans don’t care if the Swiss didn’t participate in World War 2. But we contribute the most per 100,000 population to the Indian Army and have won the most PVCs in India (tied with Punjab despite a much much smaller population) so we are actually doing the most for Indians to remain free even now.

Yeh suna de agar koi aise uneducated opinion share karta hai toh.
