desi_ninja··on Indian police hunt gang accused of stealing a bridge
i took your comment as on literal value and nothing else. I get the same wild wild west feeling in deep areas of USA, maybe west virginia. How I as a reader would understand your intentions if you write like NYT or BBC about how "exotic" this foreign land ?

desi_ninja··on TermKit: A Rich Graphical Terminal (2011)
Termkit showed great promised but the progress of the project fizzled out later. Technical limitations maybe ? Because definitely not lack of contribution. This had a lot of eyeballs
desi_ninja··on RT was Russia’s answer to CNN. Now its pro-Putin spin on Ukraine sparks outrage
CNN has strong biases too and puts out narrative building news, ignoring any news which strays from narration. Same with WaPo but even worse. Irony !!

i wouldn't really form opinion on print's article. I won't criticize it either. Just, refer to couple more places too. Print is often agenda driven than news

You should recheck your news sources if you think India is nominal democracy. You either have no idea of ground level situations or get fed with media with strong biases which creates such mock worthy statements

Really well put analogy
desi_ninja··on ScoopWhoop became one of India's most viral publishers
Sciopwhoop unscripted was horrible. The host had very strong biases and opinions and used to attack guests if it didn't match his. Also crazy wokeism
desi_ninja··on The Casteism I See in America and American Tech Companies
This articles picks anecdotal experiences and brushes to whole of Hindu diaspora, ignoring data and data. Never against any other micro minority, I have seen smearing campaign like these articles. Hindu American foundation’s Suhag Shukla has a very good response to it.

Threaded response : https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1457015150494498816.html

Pew research center poll on caste discrimination among Indians “ However, our survey finds that most Indians don’t perceive widespread caste-based discrimination”

https://mobile.twitter.com/pewresearch/status/14113545586731...

I am not denying of caste based discrimination of past and present but like racial discrimination in USA, minority discrimination and anti semitism in Islamic nations, tribal discrimination in African countries, it is a social problem which is getting solved slowly over a generation and will take one more to full go away. But unlike other micro communities (micro in USA where this publication is from), you never see articles on them. You don’t even see articles on anti semitism by Muslim community. Exaggerating and misleading articles about a micro minority opens then up for hate crimes in USA. The haters feel justified in carrying out their acts. That applies to Muslim community but also applies to Hindu community which is 1/10th of the size of the other one.

desi_ninja··on Facebook fueled hate speech and violence in India
It would be a mistake to read this article without taking into account years of anti india articles, smeared with false facts done by Washington Post. They throw such unbelievable statements which won't fly if done for USA. But in case of India, it passes under scrutiny radar
