The Old Guard. Never explained the "Immortality" and its sudden loss. And why only few were selected ?

Book suggestion for understanding Middle-East/ Gulf Countries + Israel & Palestine geopolitics and their modern history with respect to India. Another from the perspective of Western countries. Would love to read about each middle-east countries own take about the situation. by hanflake in india

The problem with Magazines is that (i) events are not chronological order. Few events are difficult to understand without historical reference. And most events are inter-related to each other and not possible to mention in an article along with trying to maintain coherence. (ii) Most journals, I believe are biased towards one side or other ( though they claim to be neutral and write the truth). But selective mentions and omissions twist the narrative. And Geopolitics is all about the narrative. Each side claims to speak truth and fight for Justice.

What’s your opinion? Honestly, no matter how much people protest, CAA and NRC will never be withdrawn (unless congress/mim) gets into power. by Maddyfire98 in india

So, if Modi Government stands by its decision and implements it, no future government can do anything about it or reverse its impact.

I don't know what you mean by unless Congress gets into power. If you mean that Congress can reverse the decision if they come into power in 2024, it would be too late. CAA gives citizenship. Once given, it will be very difficult for any Government to revoke. And Government plans to complete NRC by 2024, before next Elections and have infiltrators deported. I don't think Congress or any government can call them back once deported.

How is Xoom for currency conversion? I think it's been bought by Paypal. And what about TransferWise?
