I am teaching #Manusmriti today for what it is, a searing vision of dharma as extreme inequality, patriarchy, and caste-based privilege/oppression.
Except, I really did think I was teaching about early India (c. 200 CE)...

Which political leaders in India await a fate like this?
BREAKING: Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro steps off a private jet in Miami after President Trump approved his entry into the United States despite a court order banning him from leaving his home country.
Bolsonaro reportedly used an Italian passport to cross into Argentina with his family before boarding a private plane that stopped in Ecuador on its way to Florida.
The Trump administration confirmed it is granting visas to Bolsonaro and his family, just days after his election defeat.

🇧🇷🇺🇸 Four decoy cars, an Italian passport, a jet waiting across the Argentine border: how Flavio Bolsonaro slipped a Supreme Court travel ban and landed in Miami on a visa Trump signed off personally
The Wall Street Journal has the route.
Monday night his convoy left Brasília and split four ways while reporters chased the wrong cars; Tuesday his allies told the press he was already in Florida while he was still in Brazil, driving hundreds of miles to the triple frontier.
At 10:50 p.m. he crossed the bridge into Puerto Iguazú with his wife and daughters, Argentine airport police escorted him to a Gulfstream that Trump adviser Jason Miller had helped charter, Milei's top aide watched from the ground in contact with Eduardo Bolsonaro, and the plane lifted off at 12:21 a.m. with Flavio flying on his Italian passport, refueled in Ecuador, and landed at Opa-locka at 9:30, where officers shielded the family with umbrellas.
Trump approved the entry Tuesday, Rubio moved the visas, and the family came in on one-year humanitarian parole.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because María Corina Machado ran the same play ten months ago: a wig and a false identity through ten of Maduro’s checkpoints, a fishing boat to Curaçao with Navy F-18s circling the route, a private jet to Oslo, and a thank-you to Washington once she was safe.
Same machinery, same Trump circle, and the same kind of regime on the other end.
Maduro had a travel ban and a fugitive warning waiting for Machado; Lula has Moraes, a judge who jailed the father for 27 years, sentenced the brother in absentia, took the son’s passports the morning after he lost, and sits on a police dossier tying him to the very banker scandal he’s prosecuting... and that's not even the tip of the iceberg on this guy.
When a court like that orders you to stay home, leaving isn’t fleeing justice, it’s refusing to be the next Bolsonaro behind bars.
Trump says the family was “treated very unfairly” but he “won’t get involved.”
The plane says he already did, and that’s the right call.

Hello @ceo_karnataka @CEOBihar. Explain this. A BJP member and his wife still has two EPIC IDs. One each in Bihar and one each in Karnataka. Their names are still present even after Final SIR roll.
I'd flagged by tagging you last year. But it's still there.

The Western media constantly brands the Bolsonaro dynasty as "right-wing nationalists."
Let’s look at the material ledger of their patriotism.
The patriarch, Jair Bolsonaro, attempted a military coup, lost, and was sentenced to 27 years in prison. He is currently under house arrest, desperately trying to evade justice.
His son, Eduardo, is actively seeking US citizenship while publicly begging Donald Trump to send the US military to invade Brazil.
And now, following their crushing defeat in the presidential runoff, Flávio Bolsonaro is fleeing the country. CNN Brasil reports he boarded a plane to the United States with his wife and daughters out of fear of arrest after a court ordered his passport seized. US officials have confirmed he is currently en route to America.
This exposes the unvarnished truth about the imperial-backed right-wing in the Global South.
They do not want to make their nations sovereign. They want to turn them into extractivist colonies so they can live as exile landlords in Miami.
When your domestic oligarchs beg a foreign empire for a military invasion, and flee on a plane the moment they lose an election, you understand why Lula’s victory was an act of national survival.
The empire does not back nationalists in Latin America. It backs liquidators.
You can beg the Pentagon for an invasion. You can flee on a midnight flight.
But you cannot sell a country that has already remembered its own name.

first you delete . then you make an appeal to apply using form 6 with an illegal declaration ( liable with a 1 year jail term for misrepresentation) that you are a "first time voter"!!
The election Commission and its proceedures are a cruel joke on people, democracy, and citizens
VIDEO | Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer V Anbukumar says, "I appeal to all the eligible voters of Karnataka. If your name is not there in the electoral roll, kindly apply through Form 6, your name will be definitely added into the electoral roll after due verification. I could assure, we have taken lot of special drives, campaigns and publicity campaigns. So, every voter is aware of and I specially appeal to voters who complete 18 years of age. The moment you complete 18 years of age, kindly apply immediately, definitely enrol your name into the electoral roll."

Chinese incursion in Indian Border is a National Security Issue Instead of taking action, the Modi government is in a deep, Kumbhakarna-like slumber; it has no concern whatsoever for the motherland.
These very hypocrites shout slogans of 'BMKJ' (Mother India) at the top of their voices, yet when an enemy encroaches upon the motherland, they scurry into their holes like mice. 😴

Siang Valley, 23 Oct: At least six women were injured after police fired tear gas shells in Dite-Dime near Geku in Upper Siang district during Friday's 12-hour bandh against the Siang Upper Multipurpose Project.
The shutdown was heavily enforced across Siang, Upper Siang, and parts of East Siang district. Protesters reported that several individuals were hit directly by the canisters and experienced severe breathing difficulties.

🚨Let's EXPOSE How BJP Destroyed TATA😡
(MUST Read & Share)
> RBI classified Tata Sons as an "upper-layer NBFC", which ordinarily means it has to list on the stock market
> Tata Trusts, which own about 66% of Tata Sons, oppose the listing
> Ratan Tata's board had decided in 2024 to stay private
> Noel Tata is formally challenging Chandrasekaran's reappointment, which was pushed through on a casting vote
> Tata Sons' consolidated profit fell almost 36% in FY26, a 5-year low
> Six Parsi and Zoroastrian bodies wrote to PM Modi: "Don't let Tata lose its soul"
Think about it for a second.
> Tata Trusts' profits don't go to shareholders. They fund Tata Memorial, IISc, TIFR and TISS
> List Tata Sons and that 66% control starts getting diluted
> Once it's diluted, the market decides who owns India's most trusted business house
So the real question is simple. Who buys those shares? At what price? And who decides the timing?
JRD built it for India. Ratan Tata protected it for India. Now it's being opened up while every big industrialist keeps quiet.
That silence isn't neutrality. It's fear.
Tata isn't for sale to Modi's friends. ANSWER THE NATION 🗿🔥

Dear Mrs. Sitarama,
1.Which "legal and commercial matter" required Tata Trusts and Tata Sons to be hosted at Amit Shah's residence?
2.When is crony number 1 going to appear in the game and which pieces of Tata is he going to get?
Finally, all India's businesses except 3-4 of your cronies, already hate all of you and don't need any incitement.
