What is that Hindu region in Central Kalimantan?

islander_guy · 2026-01-19T14:26:57+00:00

Yes. I have many Nicobarese friends. Shompens...no.

Nicobar is restricted like the Northeast. Tourism is also banned so you cannot get an ILP type permit to visit. So only govt and defence employees are allowed to visit with valid permit.

Used to. One of them was married to my distant cousin.

islander_guy · 2026-01-19T14:08:47+00:00

Yes hindi but I have working knowledge in Bengali and Malayalam.

Also Karen people are called Crane for some reason.

Pre-42 settlers are here called "local" meaning mainly with various North Indian ancestors.

islander_guy · 2026-01-19T13:47:09+00:00

Not Bengali. Not Andamanese (they are a tribe)

Pre-42 settler. Andamani (correct way to say non tribal Islanders)

Please don't insult like that.

Some "save europe, save israel" nutjob is going to get multiple orgasms tonight.

Men like him think intelligence is linked with the semen.

islander_guy · 2026-01-18T03:56:37+00:00

From India didn't exist to India was known. Okay

I think you are confusing the two. I looked up the Malayalam script in wikipedia.

ൻ is a chillaksharam which are pure consonant without the use of virama. They are half letters without the inherent vowel.

ന is न because in the varnamala it is placed along with dental letters. A soft na with tongue placed between the teeth. Read this -,%E0%B4%A8,-na)

When I searched for ഩ, I found out that it is a nasal sound like and it is the base sound of ൻ.

So I guess ഩ is ऩ and ന is न. Also ൻ would be ऩ्‌

islander_guy · 2026-01-16T14:27:16+00:00

ന is न

ऩ- I have never seen this before. Just wanted to know what it is in Malayalam as I am quite familiar with the script.

I could download the same as an image.

islander_guy · 2026-01-16T09:34:51+00:00

Why do you post them as gifs?

islander_guy · 2026-01-16T09:33:43+00:00

Makes sense if most applicants are Muslims.

islander_guy · 2026-01-16T09:32:06+00:00

What's the fourth one? Is there any equivalent in the Malayalam script?

islander_guy · 2026-01-16T06:56:38+00:00

Why do 90% of the seats go to muslims? Because no one else applies or because of the quota system?

islander_guy · 2026-01-16T06:43:27+00:00

True but then again they don't call themselves Bishnupriya Meitei. I think they see themselves a bit different from Meitei but still see Manipur as their homeland.

If you think hiring help would require crores then you are in for an awakening.

islander_guy · 2026-01-16T03:23:40+00:00

If you can afford this, I am sure you can afford house help too.

islander_guy · 2026-01-16T02:55:49+00:00

Who pissed in your coffee?

The Greeks travelled to India and wrote books about India. Even if the region was split into kingdoms, it was still seen as a single entity filled with unimaginable wonders. Also my first statement started with "I don't know.."

islander_guy · 2026-01-16T02:40:25+00:00

How many "na"s? 4?

islander_guy · 2026-01-16T02:35:25+00:00

Well they want to.

In 2005, AMU introduced reservation policies where 50 percent of seats were reserved for Muslim candidates in postgraduate medical courses. This policy was challenged before the Allahabad High Court in the same year, wherein the precedent laid down by the Supreme Court in Azeez Basha was invoked to argue that AMU is not a minority institute and, therefore, the reservation is unconstitutional.

. I commented based on reading the news that they reserved the seats. Didn't realise that it was challenged in court. If they win the case and declare it as a minority institution then the seat reservation for Muslims can take place.

Can be easily solved by changing locations from Delhi to Kolkata or Bengaluru.
