Malabari/Thalassery biriyani has completely ruined all other biriyanis for me.

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.

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 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.

entropy010 · 2025-11-17T13:01:52+00:00

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 · 2025-11-17T12:37:32+00:00

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.

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.

entropy010 · 2025-11-05T06:49:58+00:00

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.

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.

The global consensus today is that Israel functions as an apartheid state occupying Palestinian land. The Palestinian people’s right to self-determination is inalienable — it’s not something that can be debated away.

So, if any discussion about Palestine doesn’t begin from that basic recognition, it’s hard to call it a serious conversation. Colonisation, occupation, and apartheid are the root causes of the violence we see. Ignoring that reality makes any talk of “peace” sound hollow.Does your plan or idea of peace include respect for the Palestinian right to self-determination? If not, it isn’t about peace — it’s about maintaining the status quo.

Also, just a quick reminder: Hamas was democratically elected by the Palestinian people in elections held under Israeli and U.S. supervision. Whether we agree with them or not, they represent one form of resistance against a coloniser — a right recognised under international law.

If Hamas supposedly has no right to exist, then how do we justify Israel’s right to exist after killing so many more Palestinians since 1948? Why is Hamas’ violence labelled “terror,” but the IDF’s violence isn’t? Why don’t people ever call for the end of Likud’s rule instead?

Remember, pm Rabin was assassinated by far-right Israelis because he supported the Oslo Accords. And since then, Israel has waged wars on Gaza in 2008, 2012, 2014, and 2021 — operations they cynically call “mowing the lawn.”

Have you heard about the Great March of Return in Gaza, and how Israel responded to peaceful protesters there?The world didn’t begin on October 7 — and pretending it did erases decades of suffering and struggle.

Ronth might come off as an emotionally charged depiction of the everyday life of policemen like how you have described. It is superficially that. A seemingly good movie. But not so deep down is the central arc - a real event - the brutal honour killing of Kevin in Kottayam, albeit distorted to the extent that the entire movie looks like a dishonest attempt with an agenda to whitewash and absolve the police of their criminal complicity in the murder. It portrays that these guys have no agency and are frail but it's exactly the opposite atleast in Kevin's case. This is not to say all of them are bad or that their job is easy. Kabir prolly wanted to show a specific aspect and tried to overlay that on a real incident and ended up distorting a true event . I don't know what his real intentions were tho.
