ravirajx7··on A man who 'discovered' 780 Indian languages
It's not just that. Ever since he has got his position he is trying to promote India's ethnic values and culture and he's not saying "Bhaiyo aur beheno bas hindi bolo" ( brothers and sisters just speak hindi) and nobody is imposing the language hindi on anyone. But if you're living in a country and serving people(working in government sector) where almost majority of the people speak hindi don't you think you should have some sort of understanding to treat the people in their own language? I live in india and i have seen situations where people find it easy to grasp hindi than any other languages. Out of all those 1600+ language majority of them resembles and sounds like hindi ( just few accent differences are there) rajasthani, marwadi, mewadi, Bhojpuri,urdu, Haryanvi all resembles hindi i.e. if you know even a little bit of hindi you can deal with majority of north indian languages.

One of the main reason behind the 'developing' state of India even after 70 years of independence is its differences which Indians still have in their mind. The language barrier is the only barrier which is proving to be resistance let alone culture prevention and all that. Languages are just a form of communication between people and people should accept it. People should learn languages like English(Which have vast amount of resources available).As the growing trends suggest India will be the most populated country after 2020 and it will have around 70% of the citizens who will be youngsters. Believe it or not but sooner or later English will dominate(though i believe it's still dominating to bridge the gap between south and north india). In india you can't surf internet properly if you don't have any clue about English and india do have maximum number of smartphone users around the world and that will ofcourse help remove some sort of language barrier between people.

Also Modi do promote Hindi(though his mother tongue is gujarati) but I believe he does so because he finds himself more proficent orator in the language.

China is one more country which is preserving its culture by speaking chinese and i don't think anyone should stop someone to do so.Though it would be better if there is one unique language with which people should feel unity among themselves.

ravirajx7··on Musk revises Mars ambitions
Musk is truly an inspiration for each one of us. He is the one who dreams big and works even harder. Musk's idea of connecting different parts of Earth using rockets is truly astounding and it would be great if all the government and private agencies come together and try to remove border barriers. It is inevitable that the days of flying cars and jetpack will come very soon and there may be drastic effects if border tension arises. https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/26/16362868/boeing-go-fly-pr...

ravirajx7··on Horcrux: A Password Manager for Paranoids
Talking about bank, when i tried changing my transaction password my bank sent me an acknowledgment letter which had to be submitted physically to the bank again with all the details filled onto the form then you have to wait in the queue to get signatures and approval. All being said the worst part was that the letter took more than 2 weeks to arrive at my home and the letter had transaction password which you have to change again.
ravirajx7··on Ask HN: What a 2nd tier college student must do to be at par with the best?
You're doing great. Don't stop your learning curve fall down. I feel that there are really very very less people like us in our country who have similar likes and views though they share almost same story like ours.I can understand the situation of student like me. I too am sophomore student at an Institute ranking way below yours but i feel it doesn't matter a lot specially in our field. I read so many things over internet like how i can develop myself up and so and so though i start everything i don't do anything good which i can show or prove to the world Trust me bro you can't match my level of procrastination. I haven't done anything except reading things over internet and i don't know why the heck i came here to suggest or advice you. But one thing i would like to tell you: don't let yourself feel down and fuck the negativities around you instead try utilizing and learning as much as you can in forthcoming years. There are hell lot of people who are there to help us out and internet is our best friend. I'm studying really hard to learn things around me and i feel you should do the same and make each second count for your better future. Good luck.
ravirajx7··on From OS X to Ubuntu
There may be 1000s of reasons for using linux distro which i genuinely don't know about but one thing which i have noticed is that linux requires lot of time setting things up. There is terminal for you to work as app store and there is app store also ( though this app store doesn't have that many apps). I have used ubuntu,debian,manjaro,budgie remix and things which i have found buggy about all of these distros are it's Wi-Fi support (like it supports my mobile hotspot but I don't know why it's buggy with my college wifi and i still can't access internet over my college hotspot) Maybe I'm noob? and i don't know how to solve many of its issues. But genuinely speaking do i need that much of skill just to run an os? Seriously? i never ever had any problem using windows. Some other issues with Linux distros include its Bluetooth support which also stuck. I mean why do i need to invest so much of time putting apt get install xyz? After finding commands over internet. Even basic file managers and many packages like media plugings etc. you need to update time to time which means for you to use linux distro efficiently you need to be connected with internet. Ever tried using Linux without internet? Use it once you'll feel the boredom using it. The main reason i still use linux is just fan following ( i.e. its Internet based reviews its virus security and all that which you too know about ). And all being said i have lost so many files because whole of my os just crashed several times without me knowing any reason? And one more you know? you can't use windows hard disk drive without shutting down or logging your windows off properly. I mean why do i need to put this much of effort just to use this linux distro? Though on the other side you are skipping windows gold class desktop environment and its user friendliness. You have to put some more effort again to play games. I'm amazed how people love complex things than the easier one.
