0xFFFE··on India protests: Internet cut to hunger-striking farmers in Delhi
>Search: "arnab leaked chats"

Similarly, searching for "Singhu border SHO attack" will give you many sources for the same incident.

> Repeating what you conveniently ignored: one bad incident does not override months of completely peaceful protests

I am not the one conveniently forgetting violence at the Red fort. Let me ask you, why even protest when the Supreme court is hearing the case and Govt has agreed to put the law on hold for 1.5 years. Why violence & blocking highways? Why not take it up with Supreme Court?

IF you were a cop, how would you differentiate between the two in that chaos? Your first objective would be to bring the situation under control before more people get hurt or more property gets damaged.

Just take a look at this video and tell me you will be able to differentiate. There are no "two" different streets here, just one big chaos.

> One bad incident does not mean anything Is it really? There are literally 100s of youtube videos of protesters damaging public property and attacking Police.

> there is a lot of information about how the government goons infiltrated the protests.

Can you cite a source?

I can understand your cynicism, but a simple Google search will show plenty of news portals reporting the same news.

Fair enough but I am not sure which news outlet can be considered "credible" these days. FWIW, here is Time of India. You can search "Singhu border SHO attack", there are plenty of news portals reporting it. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/farmers-protest-in...

I am all for peaceful protests, the constitution has given every citizen the right to protest. But not at the cost of damage to the public property, rioting and violence. Jfyi, there is already case in supreme court of India to hear the grievances that they may have. But some political leaders are taking advantage of the situation to incite violence. Please note, cops are human beings too, they have been asked not to use lethal force against the protestors.

See? this comment is an improvement over your previous ludicrous comment of "No, you don't really have the right to disagree". Keep working on it. Meanwhile, read this. https://news.mit.edu/2014/liquidpiston-small-efficient-rotar... Especially, this part. "The X Mini is essentially an upgrade in design and efficiency of the compact Wankel rotary engine, invented in the 1950s and used today in sports cars, boats, and some aircraft."

Oh really? this is fun, I absolutely have the "right to disagree". Even with your comment. You can claim that this engine is built by the Martians, nobody is stopping you. You have the same "right to claim" whatever you want.
0xFFFE··on LiquidPiston's “inside-out” rotary X-Engine wins Army research contract
Sure, their engine and they can claim whatever they want.But I have the right to disagree. V4,v6,v8, inline twin, inline 4, 2-stroke, 4-stroke they all have different torque,power curves and characteristics, and there is big difference between Petrol/Gasoline and Diesel engines as well. BUT, they all are considered as internal combustion engines that convert translational motion into rotary motion.

Wankel Engines are not new. May be these engines have better lifespan.
0xFFFE··on 250M people participate in nationwide strike in India
most farmers in India are very poor, they depend on the profit from the crops to do anything in their families. Example, marriage of their kdis, fixing their house etc. Most of them have small patches of land and depend entirely on monsoon rains. So if the rains fail in a given year OR the supply is too high in the market, farmers don't even break even.

So to protect farmers, Govt of India and the state govts provide lot of subsidies and incentives. Here is a short list: 1) They don't pay taxes on their income. 2) Get loans at a very low interest rates. Most of the time loans are waived off. 3) They don't pay for the electricity used for farming. 4) They get subsidized prices on the seeds, fertilizers etc.

Again, there is so much disinformation citing opinion pieces. Here is a link to Govt. of India Gazette notification of the Farm Bill.

http://egazette.nic.in/WriteReadData/2020/222040.pdf

TL;DR: Until now, farmers were at the mercy of middlemen to sell their produce. With the new act Farmers are free to sell it to anyone [E.g grocery chains] directly in addition to the Govt guaranteed minimum price [a.k.a MSP] So if Market price > MSP; Sell directly in the market. Else, govt will purchase the produce at a minimum guaranteed price. So in essence, govt is protecting the interests of the farmers. The current protests are an amalgamation of disgruntled middlemen who are going to lose fat profits and some political parties trying to get mileage out of it.

If you are charging someone 19k USD for a simple cut wound something is seriously rotten in the system. For comparison,in India, one could get this all done for less than 50$ including the medicine, this is without the insurance. People don't even use medical insurance for such trivial things. Heck, you could get this done for free if you have a Govt hospital nearby.

How does citing the official source of the truth become blatant disinformation? Did you read the Act? Your comment reads more like a rhetoric than a real argument based on logic and facts.

It is appalling how despite the availability of information online, people still choose not to verify what they hear on the MSM. Here is the link to the Citizenship Amendment Act of 2019 on GOI website. It's only a 2 page document.

http://egazette.nic.in/WriteReadData/2019/214646.pdf

It was amended to accommodate persecuted minorities from *neighboring countries" of India. It has nothing to do with the Citizens of India.
