@UP16banaccount also sheer convenience. You just make the idli/dosa/rice breakfast with the comfort of knowing leftover fish curry/mutton curry exists rather than making random chutneys and sambars in the morning!

@h_tejas The roots of this problem also lie in how ethics + research methods have been turned into courses/papers like any other that have to be passed, not as a formative aspect of one's PhD.

The Barkhas of the world know that their words, and misinformation have real consequences. That this is how hate is fuelled. Because this precisely the majoritarianism play book in India. To say something and slink away with a retraction and let the damage be done.

To those dealing with the JNU issue as a Afzal vs JNU issue, or one of nationalism - there are some things to consider.

There may be chilling, silencing, censorship. But in that case it's better to be silent than commit such acts of complicity.

One thing that has to be noted is extractive caste labour. In richer, 'progressive' families, the wife may not be expected to do all the dishes/jhadoo/pocha but instead once the couple is well off enough the labour shifts to a poor domestic help, who in turn has

Having a dishwasher has changed my life. I'll never understand why dishwashers aren't popular in India. The so called middle class families can definitely afford them, they take up less space and less water. But no cos it's women's work either wives do it or domestic workers

People forget that Coke has been boycotted, esp by Muslims for decades in parts of the world. A touching scene in Halal Love Story (2020) shows the aversion of elder Muslims to Coke in contexts of the War on Terror.

Folks pointing out that Coca Cola is not on the BDS list are right, & one shouldn't boycott worthwhile initiatives like Coke Studio, but Coca Cola is still a symbol of US imperialism & is a corporation that has done extensive damage. Boycotting their products is still worthwhile.
