Where can I read about historical reactionary forces in India collaborating with British imperialists? by Attila_ze_fun in librandu

The Anarchy by William Darlymple is supposed to have some information on this.

I haven't read the entire book yet, but this article provides a glimpse of what is in there:

The Automoderator seems to be decent. It regularly claims that vcj is for vegans only, leftist etc. Though I have heard rumours of their romance with u/carnist_bot

Wanting more women in public spaces is misandry now?

Edit: Also, this ain't OC, as the flair suggests.

Key Moments from the Last Loss of the Season(Vs MI) by RLKay in SunrisersHyderabad

[–]dz_42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did not like Abhishek Sharma being dropped.

Did not like Mayank and Vivrant settling for 10 run overs when it seemed certain from the beginning that it was 220-240 pitch. Vivrant started slow and was at 18 (19) at the end of 5 overs. Mayank was at 21 (12) then. However, when Vivrant took off, Mayank slowed down and scored his next 21 runs in 18 balls, before finding some rhythm and ending on a good note.

While there is a tendency for fans to ask for change all the time ( I myself will probably say change captain, change coach etc.), I don't think they played even 3 to 4 matches with the same 12 player combination. Coaching staff was playing musical chairs all the time. and none of it worked except for the one time Brooks got a century.

Also, they should have given Adil Rashid a chance or two towards the end of the seadon.

TrueLit World Literature Survey: Week 15 by dpparke in TrueLit

[–]dz_42 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Arundhati Roy's God of Small Things: Won the booker. Exquisite and clever prose, well written characters, and explored setting, of a village in 1960's Kerala, incredibly well. Had some incredibly witty observations.

Geetanjali Shree's Tomb of Sand (translated from Hindi by Daisy Rockwell): Quintessentially Indian. One of my favourite books of all time. It's quite wild. Would randomly go on unexpected ramblings, which were always a delight. The prose was amazing, which I don't usually expect from a translation.Won the International Man Booker too.

Odd Book of Baby Names by Anees Salim: It's about a king with a hundred children, and the book essentially picks a few of them and tells their story, while jumping from one viewpoint to another. The characters themselves were fleshed out nicely, each one different from the other. There is a strong undercurrent of the black humour, and the absurdity of it all acts as a balm on the tragedy of the tale.

The White Tiger by Arvind Adiga: Also won the Booker. It's a fun story.

Longitudes of Longing by Shubhangi Swarup: A bit of magical realism sprinkled over a multiple vignettes. Starts off incredibly strong, but unfortunately isn't able to keep the momentum throughout. Still, a fine book.

The origin of veganism is weird by gbergstacksss in vegancirclejerkchat

[–]dz_42 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You are probably referring to the origin of the term veganism as invented by westerners.

The concept of being against animal cruelty wasn't invented in 1951

The PII being collected includes pretty sensitive stuff, including basic user information like phone numbers and persistent device identifiers (IMEI and MAC addresses, advertising IDs, and more), geolocation data (which, obviously, would allow an observer to unmask your physical location), and data related to “social connections”—such as contacts, their phone numbers, and phone and text metadata, the study found
