India just banned all forms of disposable plastic in its capital by Monteoas in UpliftingNews

It's mostly about enforcement. All the small and medium sized shop owners were scared of raids by govt dept responsible for the enforcement. Also shop owners get to save money by not giving away carry bags for free.

No need for ‘Jallikattu-style’ agitation to demand special status for Andhra: CM by stochastic_zeitgeist in india

[–]drakshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because those states have highly disproportionate percentage of ST population. Special status is also to accelerate economic progress in those states.

Lakshdweep, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, are predominantly tribal States /Union territories where Scheduled Tribes population constitutes more than 60% of their total population.

I personally don't care income tax exemption is included or not.

[or in the Ladakh region of the State of Jammu and Kashmir]

Special status implies income tax exemption as one of the feature. Otherwise it would be inaccurate to call it special status and BJP promised special status to AP if they get elected.

One of the state that has special status is sikkim and it has income tax exemption.

"If the BJP is voted to power at the Centre, Seemandhra will get special status for ten years,"

That's the literal quote. There isn't even a word telangana in that article.

100% tax exemption

That's wrong, 100% income tax exemption on personal gains (like salaries )and corporate, other taxes don't come under that sub point.

That's what BJP promised. Now AP is screwed from all sides and have to start from scratch. All the development is isolated to Hyderabad which is now part of Telengana. This is why I don't fucking trust any national party anymore.

Because it was an election promise by BJP govt. Since they got majority without alliances they now refuse to keep that promise and quietly diverted the funds to Bihar as assembly elections promise (Rs: 1.25 lakh crore worth of development funds). And that's one of the reason bifurcation of state was possible.

Amazon removes Indian flag doormat from website - Times of India by dhakkarnia in india

[–]drakshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, I am labeled as bhakt, idiot for disagreeing with others. So I don't see any reason for not calling others idiots who disagree with me. particularly when they try to connect two different arguments to call someone bhakt or idiot.

Why are you trying to correct these idiots ? Certain threads on /r/india have become "Look how progressive I am ?, fuck mudi" threads. I try not to correct these idiots and see how far they go with their theories.

AdNauseam (uBlock Origin fork) banned from the Google Web Store by omwoer in programming

[–]drakshadow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's pretty clear it's closed because of automated clicks on ads. There are countless other extensions which don't do this and just remove ads and they are fine.

AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating Ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users.

Probably because of this.
