I have seen same from my relatives who went/born in the us. They think the rest of the family is beneath them. I guess its a human thing and not Asian issue.
Is it me or is there a clear pattern here. Seems like the major governments in the world are creating China-like surveillance under the guise of the trojan horse called CSAM.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted, but you are are right. I belong to one of those diverse groups and I find it insulting to say the least. It seems like the least effort to tick the checkbox. The character doesnt have to be my color for me to relate to him/her
He was the one who gave the theory the name "Standard Model" - which in my opinion is such an understatement to a theory that unifies EM & Weak forces. He was a great story teller too. will be missed.
There was a star trek channel on youtube which got suspended because he called the fictional race Ferengi “greedy”, which they actually are. Got reinstated after a few days. But it’s getting ridiculous now.
Treaty of Versailles which asked Germany to pay for world war 1 is what restored in world war 2. I don’t think Germany was stick with an invoice after world war 2
I wanted to give a little context on how laws in India work. It has to be passed in the lower house (Lok Sabha) and the upper house (Rajya Sabha). While the ruling party (BJP) has majority in Lok Sabha is does not have so in Rajya Sabha. Also note that the members of the 2 houses are elected independently in different elections are at different times. For a Bill to become an Act, it has to pass in both houses and then be ratified by the President. The President and refuse and ask for re-evaluation if he disagrees. So for any bill to become an Act a lot of people across both the aisles (across parties) have to agree. I mention this because inevitably I expect someone to post that this is authoritarian policy (which it is not). While some may disagree a majority agree (including me).
The biggest issues for treatment of covid has been:
1. Ignoring frontline doctors
2. Social media becoming the arbiter of truth.
The above have been devastating to countries. For example, India had figured out that Ivermectin was effective last year in august itself and recommending it to everyone as it was easily available. All my friends who took ivermectin had very mild covid. I had prolonged covid and I suspect it was because I was not given Ivermectin.
During the 2nd wave in May, WHO Chief Scientist Soumya Swaminathan tweeted out against Ivermectin. Some states followed her advise (based on a tweet!) and discontinued it resulting in 10x more deaths.
WHO, sadly, has been wrong about everything in this pandemic. I don’t trust them anymore.
