'It's not a lie, it's my culture'.
As per my perception, India's culture is what sociologists call a 'high context culture'. It means that preserving honor, avoiding public shame, or maintaining group cohesion prevails over factual truth.
This said, justifying a crime with India's high context culture -leaving aside the fact that there isn't just one, but multiple cultures in India, and satya is a central element in Hinduism- is by no means culture. It's an instrumental rationalization of a culture to legitimise a crime.
In my humble opinion, by justifying the crime through his culture, he is manifesting a full lack of remorse, and it should prevent the application of mitigating factors for confession or reparation.
On the other hand, he is feeding self-orientalism, this is, the idea that people coming from India are incompatible with the rule of law, which causes a damage to Indian immigrants far beyond the crimes which he is accused of.
Self-orientalism -opportunistic self-orientalism, in addition- is the highest level of xenophobia, because it operates from inside. No white supremacist can harm India's image as much as this scoundrel is doing.
Hindutva is providing the rhetorical & emotional framework to use India's identity to evade legal accountability. If the results are negative, the intl. indices are disputed. If the criminal is upper-caste, sanskar is invoked as a moral shield, and a long etc.
And 'de esos polvos, estos lodos', we say in Spanish. This is: from those political mechanisms, these social results.

A jury found Naresh Bhatt guilty of first-degree murder, rejecting his claim on the stand that his wife died by suicide. Bhatt denied killing his wife, but said last week in testimony that he found her unconscious and when he couldn't revive her, he panicked and dismembered and disposed of her body. cnn.it/3ViSlCA

Despite the dismal polling, midterms rallies have become a chance for Donald Trump to relive the journey of 2024—what he called the greatest political comeback in history. But his enthusiasm is not necessarily trickling down. In 2025, many in Washington were trying to find a way into the Trump Administration. Now, according to a Trump staffer, people are networking to find a way out, or at least away from certain corners. According to the Wall Street Journal, members of the Administration, “from cabinet secretaries to midlevel staffers,” have been hunting for lawyers. The Front Row Joes, a group of Trump’s most loyal superfans who dutifully attended every single rally, told interviewers that they were “heartbroken” about how the term had gone. House Speaker Mike Johnson was musing about going home, to Louisiana, to start a lawn company.

President Trump’s trade war with Canada assumed economic size would translate into bargaining power. Ottawa’s refusal to back down, and the strain the tariffs are putting on U.S. border states ahead of the midterms, are opening cracks in the administration’s approach, argues expert @edwardalden.
"With Republicans facing tough midterm election races in northern border states that are heavily dependent on trade with Canada, it is the United States that now appears to be backing down by lifting tariffs that are causing too much economic harm. Other countries that will face at least another two years of Trump’s trade bullying, regardless of the midterm outcomes, have much to learn from Canada’s response," he writes.
"Most of the major economies, from Europe to Japan and South Korea, have cut deals with the United States to accept higher tariffs in exchange for some trade peace. Canada stands alone in resisting U.S. demands. But so far, it seems to be standing tall."

Ok, no problem with that. Nepal never needs nationalism antagonizing any other nation.
But why is it over, who is you to declare it, what is the location to deliver that announcement?

Michael Walzer published “Just and Unjust Wars,” an attempt to delineate the rights and wrongs of warfare in both its causes and its conduct, in 1977. In the nearly 50 years since, no other book on the subject has matched its influence. The precepts are not complicated: it is just to defend your country from an invasion and it is unjust to invade a country that has not attacked you—although Walzer does allow for exceptions, mostly for humanitarian causes. It is just to assume certain risks to avoid civilian casualties and it is unjust to bomb towns indiscriminately to compel an enemy to surrender. The justice of going to war—what philosophers call jus ad bellum—is separate from jus in bello, the justice of how a war is fought.
The war in Gaza has made Walzer rethink one of the book’s fundamental principles. “The wall between jus ad bellum and jus in bello, which had sustained his theory for almost half a century, was no longer sturdy,” Jordi Graupera writes. As Walzer said to him, “There is a sense in which the carnage of Gaza, the ongoing carnage, simply made the war unjust.” Read about why a philosopher of war is now reconsidering his seminal work: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/T7…
