Bang2Bay··on Amethi,India youth arrested for fake tweet seeking oxygen
It is very sad to see western media is up against the democratic government when an individual is suspected of foul play. https://news.yahoo.com/india-coronavirus-man-charged-over-14...

seer and seen are described from the vedic times. there is a third element called the enabler.

person, box, light all are required for the person to declare there is a box. I dont see a box is an observation which is correct for a visually challenged person or person in the dark. they dont become truth.

It is better to be a consumer than a west leaning producer. One would never advance when the primary market is outside the country.

the correct tweet is the one where the local elected leader was targeted[1]. the leader made police run around to help the person. cops found foul play.[2] What am I missing?

probably the likes of arfa khanum are not of interest to modi.

The real reason is government tried to help. Cabinet minister reached out to help[1] . Sent cops to help . cops ran around calling, tracking and finally found the truth. Since there was no real need for oxygen in this case, cops suspect he tweeted to sensationalise.[2] if there was a need for oxygen then we could expect there would have been no arrest.

Well, government did not fail in this case. at least anecdotal evidence of where the government failed would be good.

A union cabinet minister of the country tried to personally reach out and failed. sent cops to help who now suspect foul play.

Anybody who read the article in its entirety and supporting scenario would agree with what the police is doing.

I understand that there are scientific discoveries which are worth the investment money or otherwise. But I would prefer the great algo to pick these up for me rather than which star admires who.
Bang2Bay··on Beyond Meat signs global supply deals with McDonald’s, KFC and Pizza Hut
for generations we have been vegetarians and many of my carnivorous friends have told me the opposite. That is they feel better nourished with plant based meals.
Bang2Bay··on Beyond Meat signs global supply deals with McDonald’s, KFC and Pizza Hut
May be anecdotal, but four generations prior to me and myself have all be vegetarians with no sign of deficiencies. and many lived 90 yrs + . and I know many families who ate meat only once a month or approx '10 meals a year'. meat is over hyped.

Bang2Bay··on How To Be An Anti-Casteist
Today a similar discrimination, of some people, based on birth, in government jobs in india, is held together without violence, unfortunately.

and others wear thread as well.
Bang2Bay··on How To Be An Anti-Casteist
looks like it is a page similar to this. a talk page. I guess we are trying to eliminate caste hierarchy/oppression (though there are legal provisions that already do that in india) .
Bang2Bay··on How To Be An Anti-Casteist
is the change legally prevented? I have confusion on what constitutes movement as well.
Bang2Bay··on How To Be An Anti-Casteist
India's constitution was written by Ambedkar. Kocheril Raman Narayanan was president of Independent india; elected within 50 years of its independence. I think US is independent way longer than 50 years.
Bang2Bay··on Indian robot climbs trees to harvest coconuts
I donot Think children of potus would suddenly become sewer cleaners either. is that determination by birth? Problem has been and is poverty. if british government treated india like england none of these problems would exist.
Bang2Bay··on Indian robot climbs trees to harvest coconuts
Even in TamilNadu where there is no maoist presence, and strong right wing sentiment, poverty has diminished. poverty was because of denial of education by the british system, that favored the rich.
Bang2Bay··on Indian robot climbs trees to harvest coconuts
so are you saying india was economically flourishing in the 1970s and today suddenly there is poverty that you would not pay the tree climber? how much did you make in the 1970s selling coconuts? Re 1? equivalent to 1/50th on the US dollar?
Bang2Bay··on Indian robot climbs trees to harvest coconuts
what 'caste and other consideration' are you talking about? are you saying some castes were not allowed to climb the trees?

how much would you pay for a coconut?

Bang2Bay··on Indian robot climbs trees to harvest coconuts
the reason why these coconut jobs pay less is because, the product does not fetch too much. there is stiff competition for the produce to be sold within few days. some posters discussing discrimination have no sense or understanding. the discriminated 'part' was the entire country. I grew up with coconut trees. I do all the hardwork mentioned and would take the coconuts to be sold and would get no more than 1 rupee in the late 80s. people did not have money to pay for coconut. if it costed more they would go without coconut for a couple of weeks.
