“There is not in Europe any such thing as a pure race. Russians have an admixture of Tartar blood, Germans are largely Slavonic, France is a mixture of Celts, Germans, and people of Mediterranean race, Italy the same with the addition of the descendants of slaves from every corner of the Empire imported by the Romans. The English are perhaps the most mixed of all. There is no evidence that there is any advantage in belonging to a pure race. The purest races now in existence are the Pygmies, the Hottentots, and the Australian aborigines; the Tasmanians, thanks to the British, who were probably even purer are now extinct. There is a special absurdity in applying racial theories to the various populations of Europe.” — Bertrand Russell, Unpopular Essays, Ch. VII: An Outline of Intellectual Rubbish

Exactly what Shri @RajThackeray has been vocal about with regards to the maharashtrians in the State of #Maharashtra 🚩🇮🇳 There have been a few other half hearted ones too. #DadarChaFather 🙏 – at Mumbai, India
ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಐಟಿ ಕಂಪನಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಗೆ ಉದ್ಯೋಗಾವಕಾಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅನ್ಯಾಯವಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ ಎಂಬ ದೂರುಗಳು ಕೇಳಿಬರುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ವಿಷಾದನೀಯ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಮಾತೃಭಾಷೆ ಇರುವವರನ್ನು ಕಡೆಗಣಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ ಎಂಬ ವಿಷಯವನ್ನು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಗಂಭೀರವಾಗಿ ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಿದೆ. ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗನೇ ಸಾರ್ವಭೌಮ. ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಹಕ್ಕು, ಗೌರವ ಮತ್ತು ಅವಕಾಶಗಳನ್ನು ಯಾವುದೇ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕೂ ಕಡೆಗಣಿಸಲು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಜಗತ್ತು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರನ್ನು ಭಾರತದ ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನ ರಾಜಧಾನಿಯಾಗಿ ನೋಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ನಮ್ಮ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆ, ಕೌಶಲ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಮಗೆ ಅಪಾರ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆಯಿದೆ. ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರನ್ನು ಯಾವುದೇ ಖಾಸಗಿ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆ ಉದ್ದೇಶಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿ ಕಡೆಗಣಿಸಿರುವುದು ಕಂಡುಬಂದರೆ, ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಸೂಕ್ತ ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಲಿದೆ. ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಹಿತಾಸಕ್ತಿಗೆ ಧ್ವನಿಯಾಗಿ, ಅವರ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಸ್ಪಂದಿಸಲು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಸದಾ ಬದ್ಧವಾಗಿದೆ.

शरद पौर्णिमेच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा. 🌹 Find X9 Ultra ~ Point & Shoot. 🎯 📸 OPPO the image stabilisation on higher zoom levels on the Find X9 Ultra is crap class. Extremely difficult to aim at the subject. Humanly impossible. Also the stock camera UI needs to be designed in a more user friendly manner on the Find X9 Ultra like how it is on the VIVO, Google & Scamsung. Can't carry a tripod in the pocket all around the city. Dadar Mumbai Athavis, 🚩 🇮🇳 #DadarChaFather 🙏🏻 #findx9ultra #oppofindx9ultra #photography #noedits #nofilters #pointandshoot #purebliss 💕 – at Mumbai, India

Without going into the merits of the video, if Shri @RajThackeray felt the contents were good enough to post he ought not to have deleted his post. The police’s attempt to invoke Section 352 BNS is just absurd. Both Shri Adani and Shri Modi are surely reasonable men, not prone to breaking public peace or committing an offence no matter what insults are hurled at them. As for 356 BNS (criminal defamation), it is clearly up to the aggrieved victim—in this case Shri Adani or Shri Modi—to file a case. Who are the police to send a notice based on the written complaint of someone? Can you imagine a scenario where the Bombay Police ask a Devendra Fadnavis or even a Priti Gandhi to delete a tweet because someone has sent in a complaint alleging that Fadnavis or Preeti Gandhi had defamed them? The idea is absurd, isn’t it? The fact that the police chief swings into action against an online documentary by @sabeer about the friendship between two powerful individuals kind of ends up providing an illustration of that friendship, doesn’t it?

Basically Raj Thackeray uploaded the documentary, got the views, spread the fire, then deleted the post as per Police Commissioner’s request. He managed to shake the system and also maintained a good relation with Mumbai Police. This is why CJP protests were peaceful in Mumbai, because Raj Thackeray and Mumbai police are on good terms. This is why protesters were allowed to walk whenever a Thackeray requested for the same.

Very good.
Wat the fuck is happening? The man died burnt . Dehat is real

Agree.
He posted this documentary 3 days ago.. Today, he deleted the same post for reason best known to him.. This why people in Maharashtra don’t trust him.. He raised issues like Toll naka, speakers on mosques, increasing Muslim population and only to go silent as if nothing has ever happened..

If reincarnation is real, what happens when the world population shrinks? Say 8 billion reincarnating souls but only 4 billion bodies. Do we take turns? Or become animals, or mushrooms?

This is the story of a young gorilla born in captivity who was so depressed that he even refused to eat; he needed love and the right company... and so, this is what happened.

Election Commission’s software has made a massive blunder. It’s translating Hindi/Urdu names by treating them as if they were English. For example, the name was Muhammad Iqbal Beg, but the software turned it into “Mohammad Iqbal Bheek Mangte Hain”. Another example: A woman’s name was Phool Kali Devi, and the software changed it to “Murkh Kali Devi” . Absolute chaos, what’s going on?

Hoping for the government to gift this to every citizen who has been consistently, religiously & honestly been paying his income tax, with a nil in return, from those we haphazardly chosen, thinking that they will make our lives better. – at Mumbai, India
Right now your priority should be to get an Air Purifier for each room. If you cannot afford get it on 12 month EMI or something else. It is okay to get in debt for clean air, especially where you sleep and spend most of your time. Block anyone who says air purifier are of no use. Skip 2kg whey isolate for this month, cancel all your outings, cancel all your vacations, start drinking instant coffee and cutting chai, skip all cafes, but get a machine for your home.
