This is a @vishalrao question :)

Nothing to do with any UN resolution. Not UN but WHO who are in China's pocket these days if see how gently China was handled during COVID compared to twenty years back during SARS when then WHO head, former Norwegian PM Gro Bruntland demanded full transparency from China which they complied...

Because they don't know the whole story. The Radcliffe line at partition cuts out J&K entirely and awards it to Pakistan which is the basis of the Pak claim. The understanding of people abroad ends there. But as you know the ruler Hari Singh didn't consent to joining either side. So underhand...

Every kid in school sees a map of J&K that looks a certain way since the 50s. So when it appears different it is jarring. Not in India. We're quite clear where the state's borders are. It is disputed or shall we say falsely claimed by the two neighbours. Indians should never refer to this area...

Yes but it's pervasive in which case growing up in India as opposed to elsewhere means you don't know how to parry or do repartee Let me give you counter example. A Goan friend of mine in silicon valley once interviewed this Hispanic guy for a job. They met in a bar. The guy orders a sandwich...

How are people comfortable with WhatsApp groups then that they join so many A phone number is attached to a real address and with the right skill can be found. I had you tubers invite me to their groups but I've never felt comfortable giving out that info to a bunch of strangers who could...

Is there any way to hide your phone number when in these WhatsApp groups?

I don't know I'd have thought the opposite. It's those that have never experienced it that would react more emotionally. People always confuse this with racism when it's just harassment and bullying. That fat white kid got it too. The Jewish one got it a lot more. At some point you stand up to...

Chicoms or their sympathisers do that. I see lots of these comments any time India is boosted and they're all CCP bots that pretend to be westerners. Who is most threatened by India's rise. China. Not westerners who would welcome India's rise as a counterweight. The biggest obstacle to a China...

Humour. It's unique. You're on auto pilot expecting boring company and get a shock. They're using it to hook customers. Course if you don't get it then it won't work. It's risky and culture dependent. Will definitely work with Canadians I could say I'm offended they said stop 45 but why...

Oh no way I always thought they were American. One thing I realised on a short trip to Canada is what separates them from Americans is a sense of humour. I was waiting outside the american embassy and this security guard woman was trolling/teasing me. I was looking at her all strange. Then she...

Oh, I didn't know being abrasive was company policy :D With humour like this they sound Canadian or a state bordering but I could be wrong Love these guys. Yay. These are real people

Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. This is 7th std banter Definitely nothing to get outraged about And it's not unusual for people to make fake complaints to get free replacements

I usually advertise myself as an Indian Trump supporting redneck and act obnoxious. No problems :) Earlier I used to hide that I was Indian. These days I won't shut up about India It helps to know geopolitics, usually the guys that take shots are too scared to reveal where they come from. The...

He thought it was a fake ID nothing more. This happens and one kind of joke is to purposely pick strange fake names and ask a question only to hear the host struggle to pronounce it. Twenty years ago this would be normal but thing to remember is it happens to everyone. In the US I once worked...

It's not me boss. It's you That is the power of perception. Facts don't matter. Now imagine a government trying to do it. No chance. Hence ban tik tok. Incidentally the Israeli government is being slammed for not doing a good job at communicating. They've done a better job than they have with...

No, all other tools are social media 1.0 Tiktok is 2.0. Much more potent. Which before being banned had 200 million users in India alone. This why the Jewish case is relevant. Global targeting. Tiktok will not comply with takedown requests as the Nepali government discovered.

See title China uses an alternative. The only three to add are Iran, Kyrgyzstan & Somalia. I can see Iran's being more permanent.

Soldiers? How about former heads of service who are now private citizens taking on partisan positions to attack whatever government is/was in office. Not new. From back in 2012, see this Now in the recent present I want you to imagine the following in an Indian context. A former head of air...
