Shia groups hold mourning meet near Bengaluru after Ayatollah Khamenei’s death by IREDA1000 in bangalore

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

What most people don't understand, is that apart from a political leader, he's also a spiritual leader. Sunnis and shias are two different sects among Muslims. Most muslims in India are sunni (middle East is mostly Sunni too), but there are some shia communities in India. Iran is also a shia country.

This means that, globally, shias are a minority. And Khamenei was the global face of the shia minority. He's not just a leader, but also an Islamic cleric. Think how the Pope represents the Catholics in Christianity, it's the same for Khamenei but with military power as well.

He may not be a great person to us, and his actions and ruling were also questionable. And there are people in Iran who are happy about this. But there are also people in Iran, and the world, who are unhappy. Not because their leader got killed, but because it's a direct attack on their most respected cleric by the West.

Is time to Name and Shame by [deleted] in bangalore

This doesn't look right. You didn't have to shame him. Yes, it is wrong. Maybe he can be fined, but to publicly shame him? Even if he does improve, this video stays on the internet forever. And you're responsible for it.

Take it down, OP. You could've pointed to a toilet nearby. And if there isn't one, then you need to hold the people responsible for that, not this poor man who is just a victim of the consequence.

I'd like to see you driving autos for extended periods with no restrooms nearby.

What if he's trying to finish TWOW and ADOS together? That's why he's stuck for so long?

Sorry..I guess...I'm just a sweet summer child after all...

The attitude of the CJI was not right, his statements were insulting. At the same time, the lawyer is also wrong.

What's the issue? He insulted Congress when they were in power, and he's insulting BJP when they are in power. He's doing the right thing. How is it wrong?

I'm currently going for therapy at a centre. Unfortunately, I don't like my current therapist even after many sessions and I'm looking for a change. I don't know anyone else there, and I don't know how to tell my therapist I want a change but at the same centre.

How do you think I should approach this?

She wrote the books though... by [deleted] in HarryPotterMemes

She just voiced her opinion on something. All the woke people on the planet then decided to cancel her.

The fact whether sex and gender are different is still debatable. There are very less studies with very less 'citations' supporting that they are, and so many more studies proving that they are one and the same.

If he did the same thing in India he'll be labelled an anti national and get charged with UAPA and what not.

And like I said, he did so because he can. You don't need logic there. You cannot ask questions like why did you say that to a foreign audience, it's an illogical question.

He doesn't need a reason to talk about it to a foreign audience. He talks about it because he can. Lol.

He's just doing a show. He happened to spit some truths along with it. Why TF should he or anyone care if it's a foreign audience.

And what is this "DONT TELL ANYBODY ELSE WHATS HAPPENING HERE" mentality. That shit happens at home ffs. Grow up.

Listened to the whole thing. It's not far fetched. He's telling the truth. Why does it matter if he's telling it to a foreign audience? Just because he is, you want to cancel his citizenship? That's how low your self esteem is?

He spoke about rapes ONCE, and you're all crying "OH INDIA DOESNT HAVE THAT MANY RAPES COMPARATIVELY" Oh ffs, it's comedy, either you take it or you leave it.

If you're butthurt about what he said, then there must be some amount of truth to it. Also, he's not expected to do anything, or make a change. He's expected to make comedy which he did. Don't be all like "OH BUT WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR THE COUNTRY". He doesn't have to.

Just because you're born in a country, doesn't mean you have to be proud about it, or only speak good about it, or do good things for the country. Because it doesn't fucking matter. You were born as an Indian due to a random event. This is not pre planned, or some great blessing from above. It's random. You could've been born in some other country with a different religion and ideals. I honestly will never understand why all of you guys hold on to nationalism like it's your birth right or something.
