I completely agree with you. Some of us who are not in agreement with the parent comment are being downvoted. HN is a propaganda machine now. It's not a platform for debate anymore.
Both the things you are talking about were perpetrated by the Congress party. The current crisis is also their gift. Why are you generalizing the country based on that? It seems you just witnessed these things but never understood why they happened and who were the perpetrators.
I have been told I will be laid off this month end. I am on H1B and am completely freaking out because I have only 1 year experience and a student loan. To be honest, I kind of saw this coming a month ago and started applying. But, I have had no luck. I even submitted an ask HN yesterday to discuss and get ideas.
