> Hedgewar was convinced that Hindu men had been emasculated by colonial domination
He was right about the emasculation, wrong about the cause. Hindu men were emasculated a few centuries before colonial domination.
> Muslim conquest of the Indian subcontinent began during the early 8th century AD. According to a 1900 translation of Persian text Chachnamah by Mirza Kalichbeg Fredunbeg, the Umayyad governor of Iraq Hajjaj responded to a plea by men and women attacked and imprisoned by pirates off the coast of Debal (present day Karachi).
> Historian K. S. Lal in his book Theory and Practice of Muslim State in India claims that between the years 1000 AD and 1500 AD, the population of the Indian subcontinent decreased from 200 to 170 million. In Growth of Muslim Population in Medieval India meanwhile he claimed that it fell from 200 million to 120 million by establishment of the Mughal empire because of killings, deportations, dissemination, wars, and famines.
In short, the Mughals , starting with Mohammad Ghazni, force converted Hindus to Islam and anyone who refused was executed. Historians put the # of Hindus massacarred by Turkish and Persian Invaders anywhere between 20 and 30 MILLION Hindus over an 80 to 100 year period.
By that notion, the muslims in present day india aren't even Muslims to begin with. Their ancestors were almost all Hindus a few centuries ago.
Like some Indian writers noted, Indian History books glorify the islamic invaders. Even in our history books growing up in India, we were taught that Ghazni, Gori, Akbar, Jehangir Khan etc were "Great Rulers". BS.
The Mughals ( Turkish and Persian Invaders) are responsible for emasculating and converting Hindu men to Islam.
Upwork. Create a profile as a technical writer, and put links to your docs.
I've picked up partime gigs for API documentation, product usage documentation / User Guide, with screenshots and gifs on that platform. If you are US based, even better cos lot of Companies want to hire US based freelancer for TAX reasons and what not.
Upwork search for client even has a filter that says "US only" and I've used that as a client also, to hire freelancers from within US.
Besides traditional technical writing, there are also gigs for Technical blog posts on various subjects. Avoid the one-off gigs that are low paying, and focus on startups or companies that have already paid for other gigs (you can see it in their profile).
Last I checked, they were serving 2.37 BILLION M.A.U.s.
...That's literally like 30% of the world population. If you exclude babies and under 5, the number is probably more like 40 to 45% of world population.
> Facebook now serves 2.37 billion monthly active users, an increase of 55 million on the previous quarter.
> How has this affected me? I’ve mentally atrophied. I now feel like I can’t talk about any subject with more than a centimeter of depth. A half a decade ago, I could dive with you to the penetralia of convergence theorems of hypergeometric series, but now I cannot. Even my programming has taken a toll even though I do it every day. I find myself abstaining from studying advanced topics in programming and computer science, and instead sticking to this comfort zone of what I know.
How does one go about overcoming mental atrophy? Especially after spending a decade or more programming, I think most (if not all) developers battle with this problem...
If any one of you has successfully done this, please share.
> #2, you can walk into a Target and by prepaid SIM cards
That is in direct violation of #1.
>#1 ....from somewhere without cameras
Target has cameras everywhere, even OUTSIDE the Restroom (for "Loss Prevention") and inside the elevators between floors, as well as at self-checkouts and customer service kiosks.
My cats love me to death. I never force myself on them and never try to train them to obey me, greet me etc.
We think cats are "unfriendly" because they do their own thing, and don't OBEY people like Dogs. When an animals doesn't obey you and do your biding, you think they are "unfriendly".
Cats are also not "reward" oriented like Dogs, i.e. you can't "train" a cat to obey you and do your biding by giving it rewards like you can with Dogs.
E*Trade, Schwab, and pretty much every other brokerage is playing catchup with RobinHood, which has had free trades on stocks and options from the very beginning. This has caused a steady exodus of users on these commission charging platforms, crossing over to RH. It's especially pronounced with Millenials and Gen-Z / "Post millenials".
You may not always get the best pricing, and also there are no market trades as of this writing on RobinHood, but the RH UI handily beats everyone else in terms of ease of use and simplicity.
The options trading functionality, for instance is very simple. You select options and then it presents you with a list of (screen) options on whether you think stock will go up, down, or sideways. Based on that, they show you low risk, high risk call options, put options or stangles and straddles. You can place a trade with a couple of taps.
If you want to get more specific and sophisticated, you can choose the expiry dates and select your own call / put options.
Compare this to TD Ameritrades UI and Schwab's UI, it looks like some guys from the 90s, stuck in the 90s, are still working on the UI team.
The story holds it's own, and doesn't really need the "Overnight Millionaire" click bait.

> He and a buddy from elementary school started RxBar in 2012... By the time RxBar became a business with revenues north of $100 million, with virtually no outside investment, Rahal was grinding at it from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m daily.
This is anything but "overnight". Reminds me of the "overnight success" quotes in many forms, but recently from Shopify founder.
