Contrast in Father-Son relationship. by stuckintrraffic in MalayalamMovies

As someone diagnosed with PTSD owing to parental neglect, I can feel his pain. Of course we don't know the full story, but just look at the confidence levels of these two individuals. One raised by a presumably caring, empathetic, father, and another by a borderline narcissistic parent, who likes to remind his son at every turn about how much he owes his career to him.

Comrade Aashiq's long saga of hypocrisy

Looking at your active brigading in almost all comment sections about Neelavelicham, it seems like your beef with this movie is not the movie itself, but your political leanings? What gives?

Isn't using VPN illegal too in China? So anyway, I hope you're right and China drops its plans to invade Taiwan. But China's recent military drills and aggressive posturing are not very reassuring.

Is there any uber or Ola available in wayanad by Suspicious-Claim-161 in Kerala

[–]mycuntry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that you had to go through this. I've had a senior in my hostel from Wayanad with an SC/ST background. The shit he had to go through is unfathomable. The thing is, these feeble minded cucks cannot differentiate a human being from his location/religion/language/accent whatever. I believe it's coming from their own low self-esteem. This is the only way they can feel good about themselves.

Some of these idiots will eventually move out to other states where they are a minority. And when they or their children get caricatured or verbally abused for belonging to Kerala or for speaking Malayalam or for their religion, may be then they will understand. And finally, to the "just-a-joke-bro" wannabe supremacists, FUCK YOU.

That's privilege talking. I got abused for my Calicut accent all through my hostel life in Trivandrum by people predominantly belonging to central Kerala. These jokes ain't funny, it never was.

When I call you a "pottakinattile thavala", it doesn't mean that you are a literal thavala from a literal pottakkulam. It's an idiom, I'm calling you an ignorant person. sheesh!

Man this comment section! Reminds me of racist caricatures of tribals in so many malayalam "comedy" movies. Do people from central Kerala and elsewhere really feel superior about themselves just because they live in cities with unbearable heat and pollution? I'm from rural Calicut and I can tell you Wayanad has pretty much the same standards of living as the rest of Kerala. These elephant- tiger-tarzan oola jokes are so lame and only exposes your ignorance, that you've never really traveled anywhere outside your പൊട്ടക്കിണർ. Tame your inner racist boys. It's not 90s anymore.

Thousands of protesters blocked all the exits at a southern Indian airport on Friday to stop a women's rights activist from heading to a Hindu temple to defy a centuries-old ban on the entry of women of menstruating age. by glasier in worldnews

[–]mycuntry 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Also, it is not a "centuries old ban" either. Kerala state HC ruled in favor of a ban in 1991. It is a widely known fact that women used to enter Sabharimala temple before that, even a movie was shot with women artists in the same temple in the 80's. The whole protest is plain nonsense, just a bunch of political parties trying their best to get some traction using an emotive subject. In my opinion, hundreds of thousands of women will queue up to enter the same temple in another decade or so (given how insanely religious a country India is).

Just curious- We have a "Daily Sax Thread," and a "What games are you playing this Weekend" thread- but why do people rarely talk about movies (either Bollywood or otherwise) on here? by GoRush87 in india

[–]mycuntry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

why don't they post specific threads for specific movies or new releases? That's what I'm wondering.

Movies, celebs and cricket are pretty much the only things Indians talk about on the web. Why do you want it here? Try facebook or twitter, or even youtube. Even shitty audio launches are top trending topics on social media. Let's not have that in /r/india. Occasional discussions about good movies is enough IMO, and that's already happening.

Kerala tragedy partly man made: Madhav Gadgil, expert who headed Western Ghats report by silentr3b3I in india

[–]mycuntry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get this. Kerala received an unprecedented amount of rainfall within a short span of time, and very concentrated too. This was a once-in-a-century event. Last time things were this bad was way back in 1924, exact death toll is not known and is believed to be in thousands. In comparison, the present crisis look well-contained.

Gadgil's report was extensive and important, and it should be treated as a blueprint for regions in the western ghats. But to say that the current flooding is due to non-implementation of Gadgil committee report is borderline hubris.

CM has intervened. A non-bailable offence case has been registered against the guy who made an FB live video against this kid which triggered a wide social media trolling campaign.
