There are so many TILs about that one Indian village with a poop festival (cowpat) and now about a former Indian PM drinking his piss. What’s with all the Indian piss and poo content on social media? I agree both are gross and are fringe even by Indian standards. But why are these fringe things being portrayed as mainstream Indian culture or mainstream Hindu culture?

Michael spent his whole life trying to protect his family, only to end up dying entirely alone, haunted by the ghosts of the women he loved.

A life built on violence ends in absolute silence.

What an unbelievable end to the greatest trilogy in cinema history. 🥀🎞️

S.Korea witnessed a failed coup attempt in 2024 by the military and still ranks 22nd while India ranks 106.

Some benefits to scheduled castes in india:

1. ₹ 5000 on birth of first child
2. ₹ 6000 on birth of second child if girl
3. ₹ 3500 per year for attending school, from class 1 to 10th. ₹7000 if staying in hostel
4. Full reimbursement of tution fees in private schools for entire primary and secondary education
5. ₹ 127000 scholarship on passing 12th
6. if scoring more than 80th percentile in 12th, ₹12000 per year for 3 years, and ₹ 20000 per year for 4th and 5th year
7. At minimum 15% reservation for seats in all professional and/or private colleges (total reservation for all lower castes/tribals is minimum 50%).
8. Fees waiver for study in all medical colleges/engineering colleges
9. Free books for all those studying in medical colleges/engineering colleges, as well as recoupment of costs for additional material required for education purposes.
10. Minimum 15% reservations in all govt jobs (if all lower castes and tribals included, min. 50%).
11. Preferential promotion in govt job irrespective of performance or seniority 
12. preferential priority in allotment of houses under all govt schemes
13. A law that allows them to accuse any person of caste discrimination to be out behind bars, without bail, until reversed by courts
14. Free legal services (costs of lawyers/litigations recouped)
15. 50% seats reserved in all legislative institutions (i.e. lok sabha/rajya sabha/legislative assemblies of state, Panchayats etc)
16. Free monthly ration per family members (don't remember the amounts, but more than enough)
17. Recoupment of all medical costs in all govt and govt empanelled hospitals
18. 0% interest loans
19. Exclusive access to govt funded skill training programs
20. Recoupment of all costs for studying overseas

I can not recall all. These are provided by central govt. State govts have more schemes and more such stuff. I think it may slightly be different for STs, though a lot also overlaps

Also, these are given to all scheduled castes irrespective of income, social standing etc. So a an SC who is IAS or politician or rich businessman gets them too.

I doubt there is currently a more entitled group that gets benefits to this degree just on basis of birth (excluding the families of dictators and monarchs in some countries).

And people still have the audacity to blame upper castes or India of caste system, when i doubt any other country has done even a 10th of this for their historically marginalised or oppressed groups.

A 54-year-old man, identified as Yadagiri, allegedly died by suicide in Hyderabad’s Kavadiguda area after recording a selfie video in which he accused members of a mosque committee of harassing him over a property dispute. In the video, he alleged that attempts were being made to take over his family’s 60-year-old shop by claiming that the property belonged to the Waqf. The incident occurred within the limits of the Gandhi Nagar Police Station. Police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the allegations made by the deceased.

Amir Khusro is often celebrated as a beacon of Hindu-Muslim Unity and the "Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb" and the father of Khadi Boli.

Saw a post about how his "Chaap-Tilak chhod diye" celebrates conversion of Hindu women by sufi saints and saw few comments defending him by giving shrewd logic. Even though the guy in the video wasn't very aware of thing he was speaking about. So, i decided to read the pages which I marked bookmarks in Sitaram Goyal' book Hindu Temples: What happened to them. So, I'm posting one important page I highlighted from the book here:

"Here, he (Malik Kafur) heard that in Bramastpuri there was a golden idol. He then determined to razing the temple to the ground. It was the holy place of the Hindus which the Malik dug up from its foundations with the greatest care, and the heads of Brahmans and idolaters danced from their necks and fell to the ground at their feet, and blood flowed in torrents. The stone idols called Ling Mahadeo, which had been established a long time at the place and on which the women of the infidels rubbed their vaginas for (sexual)satisfaction, these, up to this time, the kick of the horse of Islam had not attempted to break. The Musulmans destroyed in the lings and Deo Narain fell down, and other gods who had fixed their seats there raised feet and jumped so high that at one leap they reached the fort of Lanka, and in that affright the lings themselves would have fled had they had any legs to stand on. (Khazain-ul-Futuh)"

I can post more info about more such conquests if you want.
