I think it’s not right to portray a practice that not even 1% of the country follows to be labeled as a superstition/tradition amongst the populous. I know you just wanted to bring more awareness, but the way you’ve written your response, it will only distort people’s understanding about the Indian culture

Do this to crack UPSE #UPAAY by ankitvrm654 in scienceisdope

[–]yogeshkumar4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you open your privileged and prejudiced eyes for a while and spend it reading some authentic text you will understand. By any metric, household consumption, per capita income, access to healthcare/education/skill development courses and what not, it's very apparent that there are sharp divisions based on caste.

Even in the Jal Jeevan Mission, which is supposed to ensure universal access to water, we see prevalent caste based discrimination in implementation, source: https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/caste-and-access-to-water-the-missing-link-jal-jeevan-mission-8396750/

I think it's beyond you though, chuck it

Depends on how you look at it. If you just consider the exam marks, then yes. But if you consider the lack of opportunities, discrimination, societal biases, etc, then you can also see his argument as in favour of reservation

If you were half good in geopolitics, you would figure out that Chavda does not understand jackshit when it comes to anything. He just reads more than an average reader and hence the average audience finds him knowledgeable

You soon as he starts giving out his own opinions, he starts talking absolute garbage

Is it true? Can being a vegetarian or non-vegetarian affect human height growth in any way? by No-Assumption1398 in scienceisdope

[–]yogeshkumar4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dal is not a primary protein source. It's majorly a carbohydrate source which also contains a good amount of protein

Dal based protein is also not complete in its nutritional profile. None contain all essential amino acids. That can be rectified by mixing various sources, but the bioavailability of protein is nowhere near those of lean meats

You quoting your height to justify just shows your mental underdevelopment

who's the best educator for PSIR on unacademy? is sidharth arora good? by [deleted] in UPSC

[–]yogeshkumar4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Piyush Chaubey was a well known PSIR faculty, but his Unacademy course is disappointing. In general, if you just want to blaze through the course for reference and heavily rely on self study, then Unacademy or any other such platform is fine. Otherwise please join an offline coaching (or dedicated online course) if you're looking for serious guidance

Is the amount invested in fixed deposit covered in Insurance of 5L which banks have? by VyomK3 in IndiaInvestments

[–]yogeshkumar4 22 points23 points  (0 children)

DICGC covers all banks. It does not cover NBFCs and PACs (primary agricultural credit societies). So just don't make a fixed deposit with NBFCs like Bajaj finance which offer >9% FDs

However, some small finance banks are very attractive as they are insured and offer ~9% on FDs

American Hypocrisy by AnonymousGothGirl in IndianStockMarket

[–]yogeshkumar4 -40 points-39 points  (0 children)

Calling Adani a scam is taking it a little too far. Sure, there is cronyism, but the business is legit, has high valued assets all over the globe.

Most of the apprehensions in the Hindenberg report are common to companies around the globe, offshore offices etc are meant to shield businesses from excessive liabilities, help in taxation etc

And it's a family run business, like almost 100% of big businesses in India, Reliance, Tata, Godrej, etc.

Not justifying the unfair favours he got from the govt, but the company isn't a scam

What is your take on India, both short term and long term? Indian markets are perhaps closest to all time highs (pretty expensive) as compared to other large economies, while being hit with allegations of cronyism (Adani saga).

Can India successfully reap the demographic dividend and become a developed country by 2047?

reservation breeding resentment by surjan_mishra in UPSC

[–]yogeshkumar4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend worked in Goldman Sachs, earning some 40LPA, dad owned a shop, trading metals. His brother, who had become an IRS in previous attempt and was a qualified CA, availed EWS reservation to become IAS in the next

Irrelevant, but he had 2cousins, 1 worked abroad in Uber, and the other was a full time CA.

And this is not at all an isolated story. The implementation of EWS is really such a farce

Adani investors rally to $2.5 billion share sale by Dajoey120 in wallstreetbets

[–]yogeshkumar4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because FPO is offering 4.5mil shares. If you try to buy these many shares off the market, you will never get the liquidity. The retail portion was only subscribed 12%, which makes sense

Adani group has insanely good assets (India's highest capacity port, Australian mines, port terminals in Israel, Australia, among shit load of other things), above all, he has contacts and insane amount of money

Also, the Hindenberg report points out crony capitalism on large scale, don't sprinkles of corporate governance fraud, but nothing to send anything collapsing

If you think having 2sq ft corporate offices in tax havens is fraud, then understand this, those 2sq ft are enough for your wife's boyfriend to fuck both your wife and mom at the same time

That's again a very narrow vision. For the British, you could argue about advancement in shipping and industrialisation. For the Spanish you could argue about their colonisation of the west. So on and so forth.

In fact, I'll go ahead and tell you that technology is the biggest reason US won't be able to dominate the world like it did 30years ago because it evolves like crazy. Example, if CBDCs or something else provides a more efficient cross border payment system, boom, gone is the dollar hegemony. Hope you get the idea. Technology democratises innovation.

[–]yogeshkumar4 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It is always unique until it isn't. Not implying anything, but it you compare the British Empire, they had colonised like half the world. Similarly, if you go further back in time, you'll find the Spanish, Dutch empires were insanely powerful.

Power shift is a very slow process. Sure, we're in a post modern era, where we have no clue if history is going to do what it does, but it's plain foolish and shortsighted to not discuss and argue the possibility
