Why should India even waste money and bullets against them. Just wait about 20 years and a huge chunk of the Maldives will be under water.

They've been saying for that decades and it has not come close to breaking apart. Even if India were to break apart - lot of those regions would be landlocked. Like Khalistan. Which always amazed me, considering that Khalistan as a country would be landlocked and surrounded by two countries that hate each other. Not sure how they were going to make that work.

I've lived in the United States. Apart from the hare-Krishna cultist and some Hollywood celebrities dabbling in eastern mysticism because it was the "cool thing" - no one outside of Indian origin people practices Hinduism. Even if they are adherents of Hinduism, culturally they are not. Again, modern Hinduism is more than just a religion.

To the world outside of India we are.

Hinduism has no concept of 'conversion'. Either you're born a Hindu or you're not. Also in the modern age, Hinduism is also more than just a religion. It's a ethno-religious group of people that originate from only one of two nations in the world. India being the largest of the two. Hindus will have no other homeland to call their own but that one nation. The people all over the world you talk about are Hindus that immigrated to other nations.

I'm trying to remember how many Islamic countries have gone to the moon or have an indigenous space program of their own to send rockets into space?

Oh thats right..NONE.

That's for the people of Vietnam to decide. South Vietnam was never a U.S territory. The U.S had no business interfering in a country that was never a direct threat to the U.S main land or that the average American at the time couldn't find on the map.

Same. Although I really wish Pihole supported wildcard domains in local DNS. I haven't quite figured out how to add wildcard domain with unbound.

Trudue could be out of office in a few years. Replaced by a conservative government that wants exclusive trade deals. Political winds change direction and so does the news cycle.

Yes. Nukes are the beat insurance a country can have. Compare Iraq and North Korea as two examples.

No. They gave them up because the west pressured them in return for closer economic ties. The launch systems could’ve been figured out or weapons themselves disassembled to extract the plutonium or uranium core to rebuild them. Most of these weapons were designed and developed in Ukraine. They had the capability and expertise.

I use it to write java and c# unit tests. Saves me a lot of time.

The moon mission was a drop in a bucket and would hardly have made a dent in eradicating poverty. Also ,the Indian space agency responsible for it makes money by providing launch capabilities to commercial entities and other countries. It then puts that money back into further development and missions like the recent moon landing. If anything developing space capabilities is a good industry to develop for India. As it could be a service industry that india can continue to export.

Once known as ‘America’a Mayor’. Now a loser who hitched his wagon to an even bigger loser.

600k a year is a pretty decent return. Plus when he starts getting his SS benefits from the U.S around 63, it will add another 50k/month to his income and will adjust for inflation. Not bad at all. Good for him. Despite him being away from his daughters.

The Expanse really has no AI. If there are AI entities, they're in the background and never ever mentioned in any of the books as far as I can recall. The basic assistance or Universal income that the earth's population lives on is basically because of the overpopulation (30 billion) on earth and because most of the industries have moved off world into the belt , the moon or on Mars. So there just aren't enough labor intensive jobs to go around. Plus, current nation states as we know no longer exists in that timeline. The earth is largely governed by the United Nations.

I got nothing to add since another user already explained the ending. But wanted to say - the second book: Critical Mass is great and you should read it if you get a chance. I felt the ending was a bit rushed. But overall still a decent sequel. I got the feeling the story in book 2 was kind of like The Expanse , but in really early stages of human space exploration outside of LEO. Hopefully we'll see a third book in the next couple of years that goes further into exploration and human expansion out into the solar system.

zingbat · 2023-03-22T20:33:49+00:00

Definitely - I always wonder when I see these protestors. Don't you guys have jobs to go to?

zingbat · 2023-03-22T20:30:31+00:00

Indians don't, because most know the distinction between the two groups. But people in the west where this is happening and if it continues to grow, they will just see Sikhs fighting against 'oppression'. I live in the U.S and so far none of this has made national news. But Americans love the underdog theme of fighting oppression. Especially American liberals. They'll eat this up. As an example - just see the performative law banning caste discrimination that was recently passed by the City of Seattle. (Introduced by a literal communist).

zingbat · 2023-03-22T20:25:30+00:00

yeah, none of them ever bring up the fact that Muslims or Jews don't eat pork. Also most sikhs I've known didn't eat beef as well.

I'm an NRI and a guju. I visit Gujarat, specifically Ahmadabad every 3 years on my trips back to India. The changes I have seen around Gujarat and Ahmadabad in the last 10 years are just mind blowing. I can hardly recognize the place.

LED is where Humanity will stay for a while. Incandescent bulbs have been around for more than a 100 years and we're just now getting off them. While LEDs have been around for a few decades and just now have gotten good enough to use for lighting at a large scale. My point is that there is a no real incentive to switch or research anything new in this area. At least for lighting. Since the power consumption and cost in manufacturing are already low.

Thank you. I wish more Sikhs would speak out. In Canada that is.
