With great pleasure, I would like to announce that Jamia Hamdard will be introducing the BA (International Studies & Global Politics) degree.
Admissions for both BA & MA are open!
The admission portal along with the prospectus can be accessed here:
A little kid hurling communal slurs and then having a firecracker dangerously explode in his hands is the perfect symbolism for the future of this country.
You people are getting it wrong. The government doesn't plan to vaccinate all people by the end of the year.
On the day of deadline, they plan to announce that everyone has been vaccinated. Whoever says otherwise will get arrested for spreading negativity.
A lot of privileged Indians look at China and say they want a state & society like theirs.
Wonder how many would be willing to go through the radical re-structuring of the entire society during Great Leap Forward & the Cultural Revolution that levelled off feudal distinctions
Nirajan Sharma, a YouTube Vlogger was stunned while documenting a Chinese govt.'s primary school.
He marveled at the school's impeccable infrastructure, cleanliness & education system.
He highlighted how India's teacher recruitment often prioritizes reservations over merit.

Well, one good thing is that they are away from your presence, which is better for their safety.
Ideally, no one should have to work under someone who wants them and their families dead in detention camps.
Indian students in first world countries are sources of pride.
Indian students in post-Soviet or countries of the global south get publicly humiliated by the Prime Minister himself.
Colonial mindset through and through.
Imagine thinking "rice bag" is an insult to Indian Christians. My dear Lallan from Ghaziabad, even if we agree that someone in their ancestors left Hinduism for a bag of rice, imagine how terrible is your faith system for them that they only need one good meal to discard it.
Bollywood spent its entire PR machinery money to make it appear like their movies are doing well at Cannes.
Meanwhile, "waste of taxpayer money" JNU wallahs with their shoe string budgets are actually winning awards in the actual film festival there.
BREAKING: More embarrassment for President Joe Biden. During a campaign with Indian American voters he just referred to Raveena Tandon as "Twinkle Khanna"
Noida might be the only city that is free of the "we are original" type of regionalism.
Anyone can be a Noida waasi. It doesn't matter what your mother tongue or your culture is, so long as you have raging anger issues
Monica you were laughing at Muslim victims of the Delhi riots, and mocking their ghettoisation with glee.
Thank your stars that you have graduated now before we could have crossed paths on campus. Because I would have exposed your bigotry in extra detail for everyone to admire.
Danish Siddiqui, with his photos, did journalism worth more to journalism than a hundred Rajdeeps, Rohinis, Swatis, Arnabs, Rahuls and Navikas put together.
A single photo of his is worth more than their combined careers put together.
It's fairly clear that they intend to privatize railways.
First, underfund safety of the trains, and kill large number of poor people.
Then use these deaths to sell the railways to their crony business houses for cheap, who will then hike prices to extract more profit.
With more underground tunnel roads along with flyovers, we will have soon have the true urban joy of experiencing traffic congestions in three levels: on the ground, below the ground, and above the ground
🚨 Bengaluru civic body is planning an 18-km-long underground tunnel road to reduce traffic congestion in the city.
Esteem Mall (Hebbal) to Central Silk Board Junction.
Estimated Cost - 8,100 crore.
Roughly Rs 450 crore per km.
Estimated Completion - Jan 1, 2025.
Why is the Tablighi Jamaat still the byword for all extra-crowded religious congregations that are breaking COVID protocols? Their mistimed congregation happened once while India was just preparing to handle.
The current ones are happening knowingly amidst a vicious second wave.
Show me a friend circle of hardline Leftist guys and I will point out which one will become Sanghi in 3 years, which one will go abroad for his Master's and become Western tier woke and which one is going to jail.
Saw the disturbing videos from the riot-preparation rally from Jantar Mantar. (to call it a protest is dishonest).
The mobs aren't even using coded language now. Straight up calling for mass murder of Muslims that too in the middle of the national capital, police watching happily
First IIM Lucknow, now BITS Pilani asking alumni to help out with placements.
This is the first time I am seeing such groveling after 2008.
"help them tide through current crisis"
"gentle request to please keep this in mind"
"Thanking you very much in advance"
I am surprised that at this point, Indian media hasn't begun barging into Muslim homes and saying "look at how these Muslims are all gathered here in one place. Another corona hotspot?
To discuss whether they deserve to live or not, join us on our debate tonight at 9 pm"
The "Liberal Doge" case strengthens my belief that the entire "generation Z will be far more progressive" is a hogwash in India.
The majority youth are increasingly more crass & communal, enabled largely by the socio-political environment.
They'll take pride lynching & rapes.
I think Angry Rantman symbolized the fan experience of those who live on the other side of the globes of their favourite teams.
Most of us watch our matches late into the night, sleep deprived, and thus, every moment of joy, anger, and sadness feels multiplied.
Can you separate the art from the artist?
If yes, please hurry up. Our resident artist is making a gigantic sculpture and accidentally got stuck in the statue's armpit.
We sure as hell love to romanticize our farmers when they are helpless, exploited or killing themselves over debt. But the moment they raise a banner, form a group and start putting forth demands, they suddenly become either misled cattle or straight up enemies of the state.
Another big negative fallout of ChatGPT is that accusations of using it will be weaponized mostly against students of the Global South and marginalized backgrounds, especially those who learned English as a second language
To all prospective PhD students of the world:
If you generate your research statement using chatGPT, your grade will be 0, and you will not be invited to the interview.
So, please save your and the committee's time.
A good time to remind people that the two main native languages of Uttarakhand, Garhwali and Kumaoni, are surviving through the local media culture and receives no state recognition. Sanskrit, for reasons only our Gods know, is official but indigenous languages are not.
Random thing I always gripe about is how “chai tea” and “naan bread” are perfectly reasonable and non-redundant phrases and anyone who corrects you is just doing it as a cheap shot to feel smart
Jaishankar can accuse how much he wants. The party can get entire TV media and IT Cell to say that the Embassy incidents were an attempt to defame his govt.
But each and every diplomat in Chanakyapuri has silently understood that Modi govt is incapable of protecting them.
Noida is the most useless form of urbanization. You can have a 100 fancy cafés surrounding residential areas but all the vital useful places - automobile repair, hardware, bathroom ware, printing & documentation, repairs - happen in its villages or at the edges.
Seen so many Ram Navmi celebrations that has crass, loud, poorly produced electronic music with violent hateful lyrics playing in the background.
Whatever happened to the traditional raga-based bhajans? Even music is now driven not by love for own but hate & inferiority complex.
Vijay Shekhar Sharma of PayTM bought a house in Lutyens Delhi after demonetization. You wait and see the kind of hyper opulence Adar Poonawala is going to flaunt on the dead bodies of Covid ravaged Indians.
Raising a child in the US seems hellish compared to India.
US—Wake up early, cook, drive kid to work, both parents work, do groceries, chores, cleaning. Lonely.
India—Maid cleans, driver drops you, groceries in 15mins, cook cooks, parents babysit. Community.

Hundreds of Indonesian university students stormed a refugee shelter, forcefully evicting Rohingya refugees and demanding their immediate deportation. Footage showed Rohingya women and children being forced to sit on the ground in tears. At the same time, the mob trampled over
He's consigned to the same fate that every nerdy Indian-American boy in a US high school.
He's done all his homework, probably learned to play an instrument, and is the president of a bunch of extra-curricular clubs. But the prom king will always be the football team captain.
Some expert on Hindu history please educate me. If ancient India had aviation technology, nuclear weapons, far transmission and what not, why did they lose to a bunch of Turkic arrow-shooting horsemen on stirrups?
Wow this scheme is an amazing pipeline to turn large number of unemployed youth into a large number of unemployed youth who know how to handle a gun!
Surely nothing bad will come from this!!
Can someone who's in charge of this country realise that the longer this pandemic lasts, the more chances this virus gets to develop variants?
Either we vaccinate on war footing now, or we will keep developing new vaccines like paneer dishes in a north Indian restaurant.
I swear India's upper and upper-middle class is an ethnicity of its own. They all sound so similar, look so similar, have near-about similar lifestyles and similar attitudes regarding everything no matter which city they live in.
- Hindi is also regional, just it is a very large region
- If a state doesn't speak Hindi, why should it be?
- Urdu isn't foreign, English is actually useful
- We literally have an example of what language imposition can result in, and it's definitely not greater unity
Don't think this is a regional thing, but a class location reflection.
Metropolitan rich kids. There's a good chance they don't know much about the northern states either.
Hey
@sardesairajdeep
, when you were reading about World War II in school or college, did you also say "both sides at fault" when the Jews of Warsaw ghetto fought against SS troops?
Those who are shocked by the filth that was being talked about in Clubhouse rooms, that is how a large section of youth talks outside of the Twitter bubble.
The content they talk about is the general reflection of how they think after non-stop exposure to hate speech.
The main reason that a lot of NRIs enthusiastically support downgrading of English education in India is that now that they are well established in the West, they want to pull up that ladder.
It entrenches their position as model minority in the West, & as royalty at home.
A US educated NRI banker living in HK told me I should be ashamed for not supporting BJP’s push for Hindi
I sent him this pic of part of my bookshelf & asked him to send me his bookshelf’s pic
Then I asked him to look for meaning of अवसरवादी & मौक़ापरस्त in a Hindi dictionary
Albania: 59% Muslim, Christian 17%, others 15%.
Bosnia: 51% Muslim, Orthodox Christians 31%, Roman Catholic 15%, others 2%.
What’s common between Albania & Bosnia?
Both declared as Islamic republic soon as Muslim count crossed 50%. Most were migrants & due to conversions
Those Indians getting surprised and even offended that there were Indian students in Ukraine are a strange breed.
Our higher education has been, generally, really underfunded. Not everyone can crack the entrances of the top institutes that anyway have very few seats.
Progression
2014: End Congress "pseudo-secularism"
2015: No eating beef, rest okay
2016: Urban naxals and jihadis are bad, rest okay
2017: No questioning lynchings
2019: Ram Mandir and 370
2020: Shoot the "traitors",
2021: Open calls for g3n0cide of Muslims & Christians

Left twitter should be sending Anmol Ambani some reading lists, he's at the stage where he's questioning the status quo.
Imagine turning a member of the Ambani family socialist, it will be an ideological coup like never before.
Its hilarious that even in 2022, Pratap Bhanu Mehta and Arvind Subramanian go about their academic, policymaking and op-ed writing careers pretending they are not complicit in this horrendous mess.
That cringe Instagram poem about Hindi that appeared on my timeline made me wonder if the rich elite of India look at India with an even more Orientalist gaze than the West.
The central argument isn't that they became Christians for a bag of rice. The central argument is that even if one humours such terrible assumptions, a supposed slur like this proves how oppressive the caste system is.

There, fixed the tweet.
My grandfather once interviewed Hannah Arendt as part of his job with the Ministry of I&B. Back then, she wanted to learn Hindi. When he met her, she was brewing tea & offered it to him.
It tasted horrible. He asked what kind of tea did she make?
She said "Bana li, tea of evil"
Yes, I am back on dating apps.
But my presence is akin to Denmark's colonial holdings in 18th century India. Not relevant but it's reprehensible nevertheless.
It is a misfortune that South Asian University had a student like you. You are a threat to the very ideals this university stands for.
You do not deserve a PhD from this beautiful place and you will not be remembered. We are glad to be rid of the likes of you.
Just saw a Tweet suggesting India send troops to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban.
People really put "geopolitics" in their Twitter bio and write anything.
