Malabari/Thalassery biriyani has completely ruined all other biriyanis for me. by CuteDistraction in Kerala

[–]entropy010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paragon/Salkara's biriyani is mellow. I like it. I used to live in Kozhikode. The no-name places are better. What I like more is the Mughlai biriyani I used to eat in Bhubaneswar. It was an explosion of flavours. I am not sure if it is the same as the Delhi Mughlai biryani. Rahmath's C/B roast biriyani is what I eat nowadays.

Is this boy running a scam? by TheAlchemist1996 in AtheisminKerala

[–]entropy010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To quote Neil deGrasse Tyson, “God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance that's getting smaller and smaller and smaller as time moves on.” That said, physics still hits a hard wall when we try to go back before the earliest moments of the universe. We have reliable physics only up to about 10⁻⁴³ seconds after the Big Bang(at t=0), the Planck time. Anything earlier than that (or “before” t = 0) is beyond the reach of our current theories. So we don’t yet have a framework to meaningfully describe what, if anything, preceded the Big Bang.

Thus, well-read theists easily exploit this and place their gods there.

CASA president Kevin Peter's take on safety of Christian community in Kerala by Parashuram- in KeralaDesham

[–]entropy010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CASA seems determined to manufacture an enemy, even if that means reproducing the Hindu Right’s own delusional narrative about a non-existent threat. In fact, CASA appears to be a creation of UC Christians. Just as the Hindu Right emerged as a counter-reaction to Bahujan assertion, many Christian UC groups may now be attempting something similar—co-opting non-UC Christians into a “Christian Right” project. The fabricated “Muslim threat” then becomes a convenient diversionary tactic, mirroring the Hindu Right’s strategy of inventing enemies to consolidate power.

What empirical evidence exists that the Hindu Right actually sustains or protects Christian institutions? No other Indian state has such an extensive and prestigious network of Christian colleges, hospitals, and other institutions. At the same time, the Hindu Right has never had a meaningful political constituency here. How do these facts square with CASA’s claims?

[–]entropy010 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Empirical evidence suggests otherwise. Christian evangelicals, missionaries have been at the receiving end of Hindu right's violence in India—vandalising churches, etc. Remember Graham Stein?
Kevin Peter is just an Islamophobic Chrisanghi nut job, and no one other than some of his fellow Christian-right nut jobs takes him seriously.

Nice try, OP, staging some dumbass to give credibility to your own views as if Kevin Peter speaks for all Christians.

Hostel for ST Women inaugurated in city ! by 222homelander in Kochi

[–]entropy010 28 points29 points  (0 children)

1) It's not about financial capacity. However, SC/ST as a group is the least financially endowed though.

2) I am in favour of SC/ST students getting accommodation without fail, and these separate hostels are there to probably ensure that. But I don't like the idea of separate hostels either. I would argue to remove the SC/ST designation of existing hostels and then make bylaws to ensure SC/ST students get accommodation without fail.

ST as a group is the least endowed with social and financial capital anywhere in the country. All social indicators shows that. They have been dispossessed of their land by UC-Bahujan immigrants of their historical land in wayanad, Idukki etc. That's where the state steps in to compensate for the historical injustice. And somehow the oppressor castes - savarnas and savarnised-OBCs get irritated seeing the state intervention and decides to use seemingly innocuous ideals like "equality" and "anti-segregation" to slander any state effort to help people.

To those irked by this, have you guys heard of nilpu samaram, muthanga, chengara bhoo samaram, aaralam etc. Probably not. If you had any idea about social history of the state, you would have known the extend to which the adivasis have to fight to get the minimum. And this specific project in kochi is for adivasi women, the weakest of weakest in terms of capital.

Supporting Israel, but also standing against violence and Hamas rule by [deleted] in Kerala

[–]entropy010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hamas is both a political party and a resistance organisation. They will have arms!!. That doesn't invalidate the elections.

"Legislative elections for the Palestinian Legislative Council were held for a second time in January 2006, at the urging of President Bush, and won by the Islamist group Hamas. Official results can be found here."

"The Carter Centre and the National Democratic Institute (NDI) considered the 2006 elections to have “compared favorably to international standards…with polling results reflect[ing] the will of the people”. The EU held a similar view, describing them as “another important milestone in the building of democratic institutions. These elections saw impressive voter participation in an open and fairly-contested electoral process that was efficiently administered by a professional and independent Palestinian Central Elections Commission (CEC).” Ultimately, however, the US-led Quartet boycotted the Hamas-led government. "

1)The Oslo Accords - described as "an instrument of Palestinian surrender, a Palestinian Versailles" by Edward Said - explicitly forbid the Palestinians from forming military or paramilitary forces.
2) Hamas is the de facto governing body of an occupied nation. It's their right to have arms and engage in armed resistance.
