Indian socialism promised equality but delivered paralysis. Its rhetoric of justice turned into patronage, its ethics into entitlement. To invoke it today is to misread history. My rebuttal to Yogendra Yadav's call for reviving socialism. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/voices/w…

When flash floods ravaged Himachal, RCC houses crumbled but Kathkuni homes stood firm. Crafted from stone and timber with sloping roofs and porous walls, this age-old mountain wisdom offers resilience, flexibility, and low upkeep modern construction forgets.

वित्तीय घाटा को संतुलित रखते हुए अर्थव्यवस्था को गति देने के लिए सरकार लगभग सब कुछ कर रही है। पहले आयकर की सीमा बढ़ायी गयी और फिर रिज़र्व बैंक ने ब्याज दरों में कटौती की। अब जीएसटी का सरलीकरण करते हुए दरें कम कर दी गयीं। जनता भी बाजार में एसआइपी से निरंतर पैसे झोंक रही है। अब…

India’s manufacturing dream hits a demographic wall. Young workers resist factory life due to low pay, harsh routines, and better gig options. Unless labour housing, skilling, and dignity of work are addressed, the farm-to-factory shift will remain stuck in theory.

if this doesn't already exist, i want to propose the opposite of great founder theory the great saboteurs - people who with their outsized impact in a field end up distorting emerging systems or ideas, resulting in long-term misdevelopment or flattening of the field for ages

"IVC has nothing to do with India" On average modern groups genetically closest to IVC cline are mainly forward Dravidian castes(except the tribal Todas),Gujaratis. This Shahr-i-Sokhta_BA2 cline is associated with those ancient migrants from IVC in Shahr-i-Sokhta,Iran. FYI, IVC

Also IVC has nothing to do with India or Hinduism, it just happened to be in the same region as today's Pakistan Note to Bhakts following him

Happy International Mother Language Day! It has been two years since we started diving into the treasure trove that is South Asian literature and it has been a delight. Here is a compilation of our favourite nuggets of desi writing for you.

Ambedkar is provocative but interesting. Manusmriti is medieval but interesting. The Selfish Gene makes you think. Gita. Ramcharitamanas. The God Delusion. Marx. Beauvoir. Ample utility in reading ideas, even if offensive. Set your stupid politics aside. Avoid selectivity. Read.

In Braj Bhāsha there is a term ठाड़ा thāṛā which means standing, erect, upright etc. It is used in the sense 'wait' as in the this song from 1972 film Pakeezah ठाड़े रहियो ओ बाँके यार रे ! ठाड़े रहियो Ṭhāṛe rahiyo o bā̃ke yār re ! Ṭhāṛe rahiyo. MSH has related Theharnā ठहरना

Some words in Indian languages which mean "wait": Hindi: ruko (रुकना) Marathi: thamb (थांबणे) Gujarati: Ubha rehvu (ઊભા રહેવું) - literally "to stand" Hindi and Marathi have the same root meaning, but Gujarati has quite a different one!
