    For an example of how "one political faction" can manufacture trends, check this out - https://twitter.com/Kirangandhi/status/1188354450458468352 . They contact famous personalitie…

    Third rate Indian suppliers? I’m not sure if you’re implying that the price is low or the quality is poor. If it’s the latter, you don’t know much about Indian pharma companies. Bt…

    Case in point, the fascists in India became very concerned about Trump being deplatformed. They decried it as a lack of tolerance, because they knew there’s no difference between w…

    How racist do you have to be to equate people in Chinatown with the virus? At a time when there were less than 10 cases in the US, the risk of visiting Chinatown was minimal. And i…

    I think the 2020 experience has taught us a bit more about people. 9/11 was horrifying and traumatising, but perhaps less because of the death toll (3000) and more because you coul…

    How?! After reaching 100 million searches in a month, Google should stop serving search queries? How weird would that be? If you’ve already reached your 30% cap, what incentive do …

    This is such weird regulation. Rather than set rules for a level playing field it seeks to dictate outcomes. Telling payment providers that they can’t exceed 30% of total payments …

    Yeah it’s a great business to be in. As long as the climate doesn’t change, you’ll be pumping out electricity from a plant at an unbeatable price - since there’s no input apart fro…

    Bruh did you miss the part where OP said “developing world”? They’re talking about projects in India, where the grid looks very different from the US grid.

    I’ve had this question for a long while but no one to ask it to. You might have the expertise required to answer it. When I see new solar projects that have tendered absurdly low p…

    The point the others are making isn’t about your standard of living, but your compensation. If you hadn’t been tied to a single employer, maybe you would have gotten a job with an …

    According to ground realities. In a well functioning representative democracy, voters will kick out politicians/administrations that don’t represent their interests well. So if you…

    I flagged this comment for being obtuse and accusing a person of a crime when they just want privacy. Nor can they use ignorance as an excuse - they're Indian.

    I've never had any trouble discussing this with European and American colleagues or owning up to my own privilege. But I can see how many Indians would find it awkward to talk abou…

    To be fair, it requires a lot self awareness and external education to learn about your own privilege and how difficult (relatively) other people have it. It's not easy.

    For people who discuss this with Indian co-workers - don't be surprised if they find this bizarre or far fetched. For most upper caste folks, it appears as if the caste system does…

    This isn't an argument over say Italian vs French cuisine. That's undecideable. This is an extraordinary claim that by taking Indian food to the UK, stripping it of it's spice to s…

    “Obviously” the King of Breakfasts? I’ve eaten the Full English. I’ve also eaten Idli-Vadai-Pongal-Chutney-Sambhar and I prefer the latter. There’s nothing objectively better here.…

    You’re being heavily downvoted but I can’t imagine by who or why. Certainly not by people who’ve eaten Indian food in both India and the UK. While there are a few good restaurants,…

    India's economy won't be affected by the loss of PUBG. But it will without certain critical parts of the manufacturing supply chain. I don't know what those parts are, but the Chin…

    14 out of 34 of the writers in that list are from places other than US/UK [1]. Even the included works by US/UK authors like Shakespeare and Orwell and Huxley aren't merely Angloph…

    The world is much more inter-connected than it was then. The cost of a war with China is orders of magnitude more than the cost of a war with Germany. In fact, for the first severa…
