3000 years before Islamic religion was even born, Indians played chess.
A complete chess board dating back to 2400 BC has been found at Lothal(IVC)
Chess is NOT Islamic invention. Islamic prophet said playing Chess was like eating Pork. STOP stealing every invention of others
@GabbbarSingh
Many fallacies :
1. Russian nation state is much older than India, so discontent is much more. Also more centralized and hierarchical.
2. Indian army is a continuation of British Indian army which was optimized to not be rebellious after 1857. {150 years of social engineering}
@himalyanshaqiri
That's a bad comparison. Taking a house in suburb of a service industry metropolitan is as hard in the US as India. You will not even get a studio in Seattle or San Francisco sururb for 4 Crs.
Sultanpur ke equivalent ka comparison Sultanpur se karo, Noida se nahi.
@cvkrishnan
Looks like an excuse. 10-20 k people migrating to high risk zones doesn't effect HR pool that much in India. Their HR department seems to be bad {as others who complain about lack of people}. Companies need to figure out how to build HR pipeline if they aren't getting readily.
India’s careful, avoid angering Putin at all costs response despite Russia’s blatant aggression vs Ukraine highlights that it remains unprepared to step up to major power responsibilities or be a dependable partner. Disappointing as well as short-sighted given rise of China.
@UnSubtleDesi
I liked it. American establishment using the same divide and rule on British monarchy that British establishment used on Indian monarchies in 19th century. 🍿
@PrasunNagar
Unlike what is popular knowledge, most of the empire was not conquered under Ashoka but his father (Ashoka was leading the army though).
Also there is a documented proof that Ashoka became a Buddhist before Kalinga war.
@jpazvd
1. The y axis of those graphs !
2. Also treating "independence" and "obedience" as terms with precise definitions.
3. Also somehow saying that this is "causal" of social mobility, while it can be after effect.
4. Treating facts as High income <-> Low income transfers dne. 1/2
@dhume
Coconuts keep forgetting that India in 1947 was not imagined as a Federal country but a centralized economy like Soviet Union with factories concentrated on the coast and agricultural centers in hinterlands. For 50+ years Indian taxpayer subsidized this.
@BrankoMilan
BRICS is an economic alliance. Its at best an alternative to G7 and I don't see it becoming an alternative to NATO in any case. At least India and China are not even in a mood to even sort out their differences, leave alone building a shared defense. Iran and Saudi also.

Western Right Wing Youtubers are openly posting racist videos on Indians.
The Indian NRI dream is shattering fast {and its good}.
@deedydas
More of this is driven by expectations set when preparing for JEE that people will start worshipping the person after they clear the exam. Friendships (like any other relationship) need work, which a lot of entitled people aren't willing to put.
@KanwalSibal
German foreign office tried to meddle in internal affairs of India, now selling arms to Pakistan, many social media campaigns against India run from Germany.
Great friends of India you see !

I would prefer wild animals not dying by road accidents to undisturbed animals carrying that risk.
A lot of humans are very reckless and will not try and save the animal. Better to disturb them and take the risk away.
This is huge.

@AJA_Cortes
India has no warrior culture. Lol 😀.
Who exactly do you think won both the world wars for the west ? Just because Hollywood doesn’t show how many Indians fought on the allies army doesn’t mean a "PhD" is free to ignore it in their analysis.
@PR0GRAMMERHUM0R
But this does highlight a very relevant point. With scaled up models like GPT3 becoming the norm, its almost impossible for a entrepreneur and their team to train or deploy these unless they raise a big investment. They have no other option but to use APIs.
@IndianTechGuide
It looks like a method to induce more nepotism. Very few self made leaders are visible at 18. Not a lot are even visible at 25, and thus, although 25 is the contesting age, hardly anyone gets elected. What we need is an upper cap on age, say 75.
@GemsOfINDOLOGY
Ishtaar. the cherished divinity of Sargon, the world's first known emperor. Please don't fall for the lion iconography that is very common across cultures. Durga ma is not hedonistic like these Aphrodite like entities. She is graceful & powerful, a rare trait among pagan deities.
@vijayshan
The smartest thing immigrant Indians do is stay away from politics. Why make enemies when you know no one is coming for your defense ? One of the reasons for diaspora's success abroad is people knowing they cause no trouble. Their kids however, fail to realize the asymmetry.
@jamadagnisri
Some more context :
1. The ancestors of horses being discussed in the eon video are not about modern domestic horses. But yes, ancestors of horses and whales first appeared in India.
2. Horses' domestication is predicted from their teeth, which gets damaged while riding

That you think being privileged is talented is the reason for your other complain of lack of atmanirbharta. Most Indians have no resources to prepare for olympiads, level alone getting access to MIT UG. Most people don't even know about Olympiads. We just respect western laurels.
@Vikram_Sood
There is a deeper thing. All this money flows from taxpayers to US military industry and back to the areas where these companies make arms. Its a wealth transfer in disguise.
Citizens support this wealth transfer put of emotions.

Why is UP supposed to go to Khalistan now ? Don't Pakistanis know where do their Urdu speaking papas came from ? Propaganda to sahi se karo kam se kam !
@protosphinx
You just rediscovered Pareto's social theories, also, its much more complex than that. There are all types of people everywhere, just that who attracts the fence sitters creates the stereotypes.
Given how similar ancient Mesopotamia was to India, I feel that just like Mesopotamians, there were two different scripts, one for the seals and other for paperwork in India too.
Just like ancient Mesopotamia, few paper scripts actually survive : (1/n)
You know a country is on the right track when scientists, doctors and engineers working for its people start to be portrayed as heros instead of gangsters. Just taking the initiative to make this is a win IMHO. Congratulations and all the best. 👏
@americakaran
Build a wall around it after the people from these states contributed so much to economics of the rest of the country and ignoring the context of freight equalization policy of 1952. These people suffered in malnutrition so that rest of the country could prosper.

The British in past were good at creating legal ways to do unethical stuff.
Girmitiya was legal slavery, Euro dollar was legal way to run American "influence" and Cayman Islands legal way to host black money. They now admit this themselves:

India is in SCO to put its weight behind Russia to avoid Chinese dominance, Pakistan was introduced to counterweight Russia plus India block. Have you seen how awkward SCO terrorism/defense meetings are? Serbia and Albania are on better terms than India and Pakistan are.

India is not yet self sufficient in Lithium and other materials for electric vehicle. Till we achieve self sufficiency, we will have to create redundancy, another cheaper fuel option. We cannot go all in in a offguard way like we did with oil in 20th century.
@Chellaney
The point is influencing the investigation. Do you think Canadian agencies can come out and say that their parliament and PM did the wrong embarrassing thing ? I think after a lot of pressure was made on agencies and they didn't yield, this ultimate card was played.
@clary_co
Will not go down well at all, infact will reverse a lot of goodwill. US think tanks need to understand difference between an ally and a vassal.
Unlike western thoughts, Indian thought is less based on "values" and more based on "duties". Both sides need to understand that.

"Do you have any idea ?" " Yes".
Median salary of Seattle is 100 k USD per year. You will not get any house what so ever below 400/500 K USD.

During the peak, some of my friends and family members did catch COVID and some of them died as well. No more news like that now thankfully. I mean its easy to sit in US and think of India as a chaotic third world country, but sometimes we can make it work. (2/2)

I thought the first evidence was in late 19th century when Marconi invented radio and an Indian was live at a radio station. Can you please back up your claim?
@Zoomerjeet
That's how it looks like when you paint a rosy picture of the country during British Raj. Indians in the plains were dying of man created famines in millions, how was this an "Indian" empire ? 50 coastal interlocutor elite don't make the empire Indian.
@x_rahulraj
There is no purpose in life of a lot of millenials. Evolution has created humans to "pursue goals". Previous generation bore adversity to educate their kids, their lives were hard but they had a sense of achievement. Being the first to get an iphone15 is a poor replacement.
@Hardism
The former is entrenched in western concept of nation state. However, nation state in itself is a new concept (Rome Greece Mesopotamia Egypt and India were not nation states before the idea was born but still existed) and is going obsolete (with EU and Other initiatives).
@x_rahulraj
Indian society [and state] is poor at imposing consequences against ill deeds rather preferring to play 4D chess of morality and delegating to others. 90% of things would be solved if people [and state] started acting against wrongdoings at their respective levels.

@svembu
Few things we Indians need to learn :
1. Survival is more important than anything else. Under no circumstances is suicide correct.
2. A business going bust is not necessarily personal failure.
3. Aggregate (not average) of risks one takes should be lesser than risk appetite.
@porbotialora
Interesting .. Buddhism had so much influence in China that they had to do a nationwide purge and prosecution to reduce it to nothing. You know you made it big in China if the state has a problem with you.

The first thing that needs to happen is top down discouragement to alcohol. Movies, Songs and Internet glorify alcohol and people are forced to consume to socialize.
People with a predisposition towards addiction are pushed.

@StefanFSchubert
As expected these numbers are from 2010 {around the time I took JEE, didn't go to IIT} and anecdotally yes, most people went to US then.
Expect the numbers to vary too much when checked for around 2020, when startups started booming in India and v high paying jobs are available.
@apligrg
The name India is much older than the basis on which Pakistan was made. The country Bharat existed for thousands of years before this name was coined. They call themselves Podcasters !
This is an L for India. We are essentially going to give away the most powerful fuel we have for future growth: "Data created by our huge population". This data will be used to create AIs which might change nature of our jobs while the companies with data have no answerability.
