This genius apparently lives in America, the Mecca/Medina of free speech, for years, but hasn't even understood what freedom of speech even fucking means.
This is America. People are allowed to say the worst things about anyone and anything that is not a protected group. Look up what protected groups means.
And even there, the First Amendment generally protects even offensive speech directed at protected groups.
And it is actually what makes America so great.
But Indians are frankly unfortunate that they come from a civilization that will take maybe 5000 more years to understand what true free speech means.
Holocaust never happened. Allowed to be said in the US.
Koran should be burnt. Allowed to be said in the US.
Indians (insert any nationality you want) are animals. Allowed to be said in the US.
Chinese are ugly. Allowed to be said in the US.
If you want to be a fucking snowflake who can't hear shit about yourself or tribe, you should get the fuck out of America, because you fail the first basic test of American residency/citizenship.
"Indian people are like fucking animals."
While waiting to board a flight from Kathmandu to New Delhi, I moved to the side of a crowd in front of the jet bridge to catch up with my mother in line when I heard this man behind me say those words.
His name is Joaquin Bonilla Garcia. He's a Spanish passport holder.
When I called him out on his blatant racism, he remained silent. After the flight, upon realizing I had filed a complaint with the airline, he tried to tell me there was a "misunderstanding." But I heard him loud and clear.
I'm sharing this for two reasons.
1) I believe in freedom of speech, and I believe just as strongly that words have meaning. I think hateful statements should bear consequences. I couldn't track him down, but I would appreciate your help in identifying his community and holding him to account.
2) Racism is alive and well, even (especially?) in unlikely settings. I wasn't expecting to hear this kind of language on a flight within South Asia, surrounded by South Asian people, from a tourist who was visiting the region voluntarily. As an Indian American, I feel the pressure to be extra conscious of my behavior when I'm a visitor in another country. Clearly, others feel the opposite, even more empowered to behave badly when they are away from home.

Came back home to find a book waiting for me, and that too from none other than Mr. @Ram_Guha himself!
Thank you, sir! It’s a great honour❤️

The Indian Army gave Modi govt a severe-dressing down!! 🔥
The "Agniveer Recruitments" weakened the Indian Army to such an extent we can't even imagine.
> No one is ready to marry his daughter to Agniveers because of the elimination of pension scheme and short service span.
> The Indian govt is compromising India's security.
> Well trained Agniveers are being released when they are fully prepared to defend India.
> And the most significant concern is that, currently almost all of India's neighboring countries are hostile towards it. Yet we are being forced to discharge well-trained Agniveer soldiers who are highly skilled in combat operations within regions like Kashmir and the North East's valley areas. Then how are we to deal with these hostile nations?

📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.

Adani is suing me for ₹50 crore, apparently valuing the damage to his reputation at that amount.
I contend that wealth acquired through alleged wrongdoing does not confer credibility or reputation.
My valuation of that reputation? ₹0.
And if the reputational damage is zero, the compensation should be zero.
₹50 crore demanded. ₹0 deserved.

A big big Indian outrage against @meta is long pending .
Meta is siding with heinous dictatorship that too in the largest democracy of the world leading to the biggest crime one can do against biggest population of the world .
Let's smash Meta en mass ,iski akal thikane lagao .
Thousands of Insta accounts have been restricted in India and lakhs of videos have been taken down.
@Meta the only thing now pending is Juckerberg bhai in a selfie video with Modi ji.

Just watched the Modi–Adani documentary (wow!), and have a straight question for Calcutta High Court. Documentary uses “Adani” to refer to Gautam Adani and is about his friendship with Modi. If Gautam Adani is being "defamed", how is a suit by Adani Enterprises maintainable?

As long as the “great leader” was the subject of jokes and ridicule, there was no backlash. But the moment questions were raised about his sources of funding, all hell broke loose.
Makes you wonder-what exactly struck a nerve?
Any ranking where Imran Khan is below KL Rahul is not worth being used as toilet paper to wipe your ass. 😂😂😂
Or where a 5'7 inch tidda Kohli who has to grow a beard to hide 70% of his face is in the same category as Imran Khan.
The only truly good looking cricketers among the ones below are Imran, Cummins and Afridi. Cook and Wood are hair's breadth close. Infinitesimally less.
KP, Dravid, Starc (from 8 years ago), Anderson and Abhishek Sharma are good looking. But not in the league of the folks above them.
KL, Kohli, Pandya, Dhoni are about average. Sharma below average.
Babar Azam is flat out ugly.
We all see Imran Khan's or Pat Cummin's natural good looks and say they are blessed, and in a way they are, with good genetics.
What we don't see is that both ran 10k+ every day, lifted weights in the gym every day, rain or sun, watched what they ate for years (Cummins still does).
God/Universe can give you a lot, but it won't give you everything. You have to eventually EARN it yourself.

So what? Who cares? Our Hindu religion is 10,000 years old and our civilization is 5,000 years old. Our culture is superior; everything is written in the Vedas. Mughals looted our technology and sold it to the Chinese via Pakistan. Cow urine can cure cancer. The future is ours; we are coming, we are the Vishwaguru, we are the best.

Four wickets in six balls for Mitchell Starc, who ends with figures of 6/72 in 16.3 overs.
Despite South Africa's top three of Ackerman, Markram and Bedingham scoring 95, 78 and 50 respectively, they've been bundled out for 329 runs.
Scenes in Cape Town.

This is Devpalik Gupta, who led Jan Suraaj’s social media team. An IIMC alumnus from the 2018 batch, he was travelling from Ranchi to Patna when he went missing. His body was later found in a bush near Muri railway station in Jharkhand.
In 2017, he won The Lallantop’s Story Competition with his story “Mutna.” His words and creativity remain a reminder that behind every name is a person with dreams, talent, and a story of their own.
What happened to him on that journey? Why did his life end under such circumstances? These are painful questions that deserve clear answers. The circumstances surrounding his death must be thoroughly investigated, and the truth must come out.
May his family and loved ones find strength in this difficult time. May he rest in peace. 💔
