desi_ninja··on What a caste discrimination ban means for Americans
There is nothing uniquely different about caste discrimination than Shia/Sunni divide among Muslims or Han Chinese/non. If you goto Africa, similar fault lines are there. It is social evil which is at verge of extinction in a generation or two, unless provided oxygen by these laws. There isn't a widespread precedence for a law which uniquely targets Indians and them asked to prove their non-caste behaviour. Current anti discrimination laws are good. Still these laws keep getting passed. This is witch hunting.

desi_ninja··on Indian artists take government to court over 'chilling' tech laws
Artist turned political activist turned attention seeker. The headline is quite sneaky to omit his tantrums of past years.

Even if the stand is right, Kunal kamra has lost all credibility for me. I would rather support someone else making similar points than this joke of a person.
