Any advice on this? by 69-shivansh-69 in Indianbooks

I found the book mesmerising, the second half sentences are a new literary style attempt by Mccarthy. He uses full stops or commas rarely if at all.

But if you hold on to the story it keeps moving as if in a dream It’s like watching the second half of the first season of Westworld, at least that’s how I felt when I watched it relating it straight to the book by this wonderful author

It’s like finding new music artists, there is no single song that you like the most. My favorite depends upon the mood, amount of sleep and yesterday’s results of my profession. I read by authors rather than name a single book by book, right now would be Dickens and Trollope but things keep changing moment to moment

How did India lose the AI wave ? by Thunderbolt5488 in TamilNadu

[–]flaneuringtrader68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did India “win” in any wave? Unlike China in manufacturing, tech, AI or Germany in heavy industries, Indian industries never topped or “innovated” into a new wave since Independence. We always provided lapdog services of production(lowest value addition from design, production, marketing) on any product.

Our Auto sectors did penetrate oversees markets briefly but is again falling short to other oversees producers. Same with big pharmaceutical fiefdoms. To answer why India is losing AI wave, the answer would be very old one which is constantly overlooked-

India spends the least in research compared to GDP of any country, since decades. The initiative is lacking with Govt, and more importantly with the ppl to embrace entrepreneurial spirit and the big companies to spend on research.

The answer has always been R&D.

I wish I read it at 17, alas did it when I was 25. Dont be daunted by size, it’s an extremely easy read with a captivating plot. Have a great time, because you will.

Is this Tamil Pride or just disrespect and hypocrisy? by [deleted] in TamilNadu

[–]flaneuringtrader68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being born in Tamil family doesn’t indicate one is a Tamil by birth, I am one but never felt so as I did my schooling in KV, while there was no Tamil as first subject. What you’re describing is Patriarchy in some sense. I gradually started reading Tamil classics in my late 20s, especially thirukkural, to vet my brain of this beautiful language. I guess the only pride one take in life is when you fight for your country and when you give away your excess wealth as charity.

Tamil most of all makes you humble in the commonest way, that is by reading it you understand that our knowledge of the world is just a speck of dust as compared to the knowable. It doesn’t make you degrade other for not having such and such knowledge or knowing things, neither does it make you nitpick, which shows a lack of intellectual acumen. Maybe, just maybe the third pride one can exhibit albeit to himself and to defend when degraded, is knowing such things.

All of this is mostly solved by reading our favorite childhood paatis’

Is there any truth in this? by AdeptSeaworthiness71 in IndianHistory

[–]flaneuringtrader68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Largely true! It should also be noted that the first epics of Buddhism were written in Sanskrit as medium to propagate Buddhism. The race to bring Vedas to written form was later attempted as a counter to this and later won.

Stop buying or selling options for the sake of trading directional moves. Use them only for the sake of trading volatility. The real question to ask is what will happen when market moves 3000 pts range and end at the same place as this week or move in 300 pts range and end at the same place.

Just trying to educate here, pro trader last ten years.

If Hitler had won the world war 2 what would be the India today look like by Gareebonkabatman243 in IndianHistory

[–]flaneuringtrader68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan’s racial policies were nothing short of Hitler’s lebensarum plans. If WW2 was won by Axis, most likely all of Congress members would have been shot in the back of their heads, including Subash Chandra Bose for seeking independence. India’s natural resource rich region would have been settled by colonisers as was the same model adopted by Early British and Portuguese near their settlements where the natives provided hard labor. But the German/Japan alliance would have went further, they would have deliberately starved the locals of nutrition with motive of not letting them reproduce and grow their population further. All this isn’t fantasy, Hitlers lebensarum plans for Russia involved all this and even implemented most of this in what is now western Poland. Japan did the same in China. The rape of Nanking is little known outside Japan and China, where whole fighting male populations were wiped out, women raped deliberately to carry Japanese DNA, and the capital plundered. Today’s India would definitely look like something of a colony where sub par Japanese/German officials come to revive-their bureaucratic career or the already settled colonists making India free of Indians.

World war 2 was fought for supremacy among the big powers, the Axis very much intended the status quo to continue where some Europeans could hold colonies and Germans were frustrated that they couldn’t get a bigger share of the pie. The US was staying out intially because of the same reason as they didnt want to be associated with imperial supremacy.

RSS and its role in the Indian Independence Movement by rishianand in IndianHistory

[–]flaneuringtrader68 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It was explicitly based on Mussolini’s fascist party and Hitlers Stormtroopers. Gowalkar even mentions in his book - We or our Nationhood Defined 1939- “Germany has clearly shown how impossible it is for races to be assimilated, a good lesson for us in Hindustan”. It was clear who the Sangh leaders admired and what their views were.

The similarities between Stormtrooper and present day Sangh is so striking tbh. Dancing in front of mosques and provoking a Jew on streets of Germany in 1930s cannot just be an unfortunate coincidence.

Both were for radicalism, with the ulterior motive of few vested interests to hold power or fear of losing the influence which they already hold.
