I am curious about how our country's living standards compare with other less well off countries. I believe media and political parties does a very unfair job by not telling us what our health and wellbeing status. And pushing us into dead end idealogies. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

The interest rate on a 5-year FD at SBI in 2014 was 9%. Currently it's at 6.20%. It is expected to reduce further in the future. It is generally thought that reducing bank interest rates helps to promote investment while discouraging savings. However, what's the logic behind reducing the interest rates of senior citizens who don't have any additional income apart from the monthly interest payments? They anyways don't have any disposable income to invest at such an advanced age. Just a rant. What do you think? Edit: Thank you all for the informative discussion and links. I will go through them and have a discussion with my Dad. I really appreciate all the comments and advice!!

The reason being some places in India do not accept foreign vaccination certificates and keep insisting on showing it from the CoWIN app

I was reading a LinkedIn post recently, about someone who tried to take an exam to join the CS. Apparently there are over 5,000,000 applications for 1,000 places. Why is it so difficult to join? Are there other routes in generally or is this exam the only way? In the U.K. it’s a pretty big employer so I think it’s totally different to how it is in India.

As in, which nation has greater cultural/economic/political influence on the day-to-day lives of the average Indian in the modern day? Also, what are example of American or British influenced experienced by the common Indian? Are English speaking Indians more Anglo focused, or US focused?

Hello Guys I want to apply for Marketing jobs as a fresher who has completed his graduation, how should I go about it?

Looking for a phone for my mom to gift her on her birthday, My budget is around 30k, will be giving out her old phone so that gives me an additional leverage for 6k. Confused between the Nord 2 and Samsung A52s. Liked s20FE as well but I don't know if it is worth the price. Have read reports of nord 2 blasting and hence the comcern. Any other mobile phone suggestion in my budget? I am confused and would like to get first hand reviews from phone users!

I just hung out on my parents some moments ago after a heated argument. So we were testing group call on duo and it was attended by my mother, father my uncle who's settled in US and me, the call ended on the note that I should definitely leave my current job and search for one in US/Canada! Currently I'm 26 and I'm living in Qatar, my current job is a stable one but it has a bit pressure sometimes but nothing very hectic i.e I'm happy. I had to be jobless for 3 months in last August2020 here in Qatar due to whole market going in shambles, but it turned out good for me and Im in a better place now. So parents and relative are saying that I won't able to marry anyone as no lady would want to move to a Gulf country from India( this is a fact) i.e. theres no s*xiness of working here tbh. 2nd argument was US/CAN pays more on any day, but the fact is, that US doesn't give H1B to foreigners or non white in oil and gas and Canada's Oil and Gas market is a joke. Anyone else been forced to get a job like this or move outside, please share your 2 cents!

I removed my hard disk(hdd) from my laptop and transferred my data to desktop PC and then put back hdd in laptop and formatted and installed windows 10. Then I again removed the hdd from laptop and transferred the data back into my hdd and put it back in my laptop but now my F drive(where I transferred my data) is showing space used but there are no files when I open F drive. What should I do? How to recover this data? Please help. P.S.: 1.: I used cut+paste so there is no data in my desktop PC. 2.: Show hidden files and folder did not worked.

Basically what the title says. I haven't read many Hindi books, and I feel like getting back into practice. Is there any unofficial version of The Lord of the Rings in Hindi? There are official translations into Bengali and Marathi but unfortunately I can't understand Bengali and while I can read Marathi, I have to google a lot of word meanings. So if anyone knows of any fan produced Hindi translations please hook me up! Thanks.

Today my current phone died without giving any warring. Upon little bit of search, I found this deal in olx, 1.5 years used s9 for 11k. Is it worth the buying s9 or I should look at the sea of Chinese phones available around 11k ?

Hey guys, So I wanted to start investing an amt. of 3k-5k every month for 3 years and this investment is for someone who is 46 years old. Already have an FD of 1 lakh+. Here are my findings. Mutual funds is the best option for 3 years. I've found some mfs but I'm confused if they are right for me. I found these: 1. Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund (I'm so biased towards this). 2. Parag Parekh Flexi Cap Fund (same as above). 3. Mirae Asset Tax Saver Fund (similar returns to 1 but then why a different fund?). 4. Some purely large cap based funds (returns are similar to or lower than 1). Please tell me which ones will be best for my requirements and any other suggestions? Thanks :)

It's been more than a years, neither farmer nor government is resolving issue? what will be the next step?

In many states on Saturdays schools and offices function for half a day. Previously this used to be the same for banks too but RBI did a partially good thing by making alternate Saturdays working/full off. The half-working day is a near total waste of resources because hardly any work gets done on that day while the same amount of travel is done. Also taking half-day off means foregoing a full leave. I have never worked in a government setup but have studied in schools with half working Saturday. I hate it. They should either make it only 5-days a week throughout or at least like RBI make it alternate. People can take a trip peacefully at least. What is your opinion in this matter?

Hey guys, does anyone have any extra informatioin on this article? [https://www.traveloffpath.com/india-prepares-reopening-to-international-tourists/](https://www.traveloffpath.com/india-prepares-reopening-to-international-tourists/) I am planning to visit Nepal in November and would love to go to Delhi and Taj Mahal before going there. The flights to delhi would be much cheaper as well compared to Kathmandu. Plus Taj Mahal would be empty compared to normal tourists year I guess. Do you think that it is realistic for India to open up by November 1st with potentially even a free Visa? Thanks, Chris

Is there no end to our voyeuristic instincts? Or to media helping themselves freely to all kinds of human suffering to feed an insatiable appetite for shock value? This is a tragic accident and an intensely personal time of bereavement for his loved ones. From thrusting mikes into people’s faces at a funeral, to stalking and hounding celebrities leaving a doctor’s clinic with their sick child, this madness really needs to stop. This unfortunate man has no say, no agency, and his final moments are now available for public viewing for an audience scrolling through. Power needs to be balanced with responsibility. An audience is not reason enough.

I'm trying to look for science fiction written in Hindi, especially ones that are about aliens or about planets.

What jobs are you guys doing? Is it worth it in the long run?

India is such a diverse place ,especially for foodies .So, what is the best friend food from your state that everyone should try?

According to [this news article](https://m.timesofindia.com/city/agra/34-colleges-denied-funds-over-lack-of-naac-grade/amp_articleshow/71620445.cms) by The Times of India, some colleges affiliated to Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar University in Agra were accredited by NAAC and some were not (as of 2019). Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University in Agra is currently listed as one of the universities with NAAC accreditation on NAAC website.

Sorry for this rant, need to vent. tl;dr: If your planning to buy from lenovo's official site, please don't; you're better off buying from some third party seller. Don't make the mistake I made, do better research before buying. **Edit**: [Read this](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianGaming/comments/p5asxb/lenovo_is_denying_me_cancellation_on_legion_5_pro/h94py0t/) Ordered a custom thinkpad on 19th for work. The official site said delivers within 4 weeks. After order, the confirmation mail said it would take 7 to 8 weeks to deliver due to covid restriction. Due to this delay I opted to cancel my order opt for a "ready to ship" model with config closer to my choice. After sending the cancellation request mail, I was asked to wait 72 hours and then 48 hours, finally today they sent and email saying they cannot cancel the order and my expected dispatch date is 13/dec/2021. Not to mention the money was paid through net banking, i.e. total amount paid upfront. So it went from 4 weeks to 8 weeks, to 13 weeks. Unfortunately I'm not the only person who faced such issue, if you look through the lenovo forum, there are filled with such issues, some are even pre-pandemic. Don't know what non sense lenovo is doing. Honestly I'm thinking of Rs. 78000 as a loss. [It still shows 4 weeks till now](https://www.lenovo.com/in/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-e-series/ThinkPad-E14-Gen-3-14%E2%80%9D-AMD/p/20YDCTO1WWENIN0/customize?),

Good day all! I understand India is sub-continent levels of big, with many cultures and people groups, and I am asking a question betraying ignorance of those cultures and groups. I have an amazing neighbor from India, his name is Anurag. I have hearing loss from an accident, and CAN NOT understand him when he tries to pronounce it for me but I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN I am getting wrong with my Americanized pronunciation of it. I have an awesome neighbor and just want to show honor and respect to him by getting his name correct, how do I say his name?

TFR in most states has reached below replacement levels. COVID-19 induced distress will make lives harder from now on. With unpredictable weather patterns due to climate change and the constant crisis that Global Capitalism is facing, I personally believe population will decline from now on. We will know for sure from the data of next census. What do you guys think?

So I am currently in high school but I have aspirations of entering Indian politics, I am from UP. What do you think is the best course of action for me to enter politics and rise up the ranks?

I am planning on going to Nepal for a weekend. Should I? Will I be needed to quarantine even if I have had both vaccinations? Any help is appreciated

The same as the title, that is - What are your favourite songs of 21st century Indian artists? Let's goo I'll start - Radha Kaise Na Jale from Lagaan Ps- time to listen to all the songs, continue recommending though

Um, I am looking for wifi service provider who provides wifi in chhattisgarh Jashpur district. PLease do tell me if there is any ways to get it here.

EDIT: It should be TRIBE not CASTE in the title. I was just checking upsc results of this year and I found one thing odd. The caste "meena" is vastly over-represented(they come under ST category). ​ This year in UPSC there were 35 meena out of 61 candidates in the ST category :[Source](https://www.upsc.gov.in/sites/default/files/FR-CSM-20-engl-240921-F.pdf). That comes out to be 57.3% while meena population is 40-50lacs, compare that to ST population 10.43crore. They are 4.7% of the ST population but take up 57% seats. This got me curious and I checked for previous year. UPSC 2021 35/61=57% [source](https://www.upsc.gov.in/sites/default/files/FR-CSM-20-engl-240921-F.pdf) UPSC 2019 23/67=34% [source](https://www.upsc.gov.in/sites/default/files/FR-CSE-2019-040820-ENG.pdf) UPSC 2018 31/61=50.81%[source](https://upsc.gov.in/sites/default/files/FR-CSME-2018-Engl.pdf) USC 2017 27/74=36% [source](https://www.upsc.gov.in/sites/default/files/FR-CSM-17.pdf) UPSC 2016 31/89=34% [source](https://upsc.gov.in/sites/default/files/FR_CSM_16_Engl_N.pdf) UPSC 2015 30/89=33% [source](https://www.civilserviceindia.com/FN_CSM_2015.pdf)

Are internet cafes in India that horrible? I had to rewrite my resume from scratch and due to shifting houses, won't have internet for a week. Hence I had to go to an internet cafe to type it up. And my god was it horrible. I don't mind the keyboard and mouse being hard af or not clicking or the cursor running across the screen at the slightest movement. What pissed me off was the slow af internet, and that all the places I went to have Microsoft Word 2007. ***2007***! I understand that you look for budget keyboards when you set something up, but data charges these days are much much better than 10 years ago. I'm paying only ₹707 for an unlimited connection with 50mbps speed. Not to mention, ***you can download the fucking MS Office 2016 version from the internet with the key these days.*** You're running an internet cafe that also does xerox copies, printouts and other stationery stuff, and you can't have the latest version of the MS Office software? It doesn't even need a higher specs to run it. Does anyone feel the same way about net centres in their own cities?

I tried calling my local bank branch at around 3 pm today. No one picked up the phone. I did check that the number was correct. I then tried the neighboring beach. Same deal. Is this a busy time or is there some bank holiday? I really need to talk to the branch manager about an old account which has an issue that can't be resolved online and I am not in town to go there physically.

Listened to the radio for almost an hour, They played 8 songs, Each of them was either a remake or a cover. Have they stopped creating new music altogether? Or is it soo shitty that even Radio stations are too embarassed to play it?

So just wanting to know if there are any laws that stop me from taking this decision. Ik some of you will say I'd change my mind but this has been my mindset since I was 10. My life goals don't align with this mentality of having kids so if you're here to say such things as wait for sometime u'll change your mind then no need to answer.

I don't want to come out as too strong, but as I have noticed the major population treat her as their Fapping material. Is that it or there's any other reason.

The number is 911\*\*\*\*610. They are trying to sell me a fake insurance from Bajaj. They even send me fake documents. I even contacted Bajaj Allianz and Axis Bank for this. But they did nothing. I have told them to not to call me again but they have not stopped bothering me. Is there anything we can do? Atleast companies in whose name they are committing fraud should do something about it.

Hi. This is my throwaway account, just because. As the title suggests, I'm being forced to sign an offer letter from a company as a final year BE student. I'm in my 7th semester if that matters. They're threatening me as well, as in "we'll take action against you.", and I do not know what actions and also what to do in this situation I'm in. is that even legal? to be forced to sign an offer letter I do not agree with? I refuse to join the company, and that decision is something I'm 100% sure of. What's the worst my TnP cell can do? This situation is eerily similar to that of the post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/a49ses/advice_needed_can_college_force_you_to_join_a/) except that I don't have a better offer from an out campus company... not yet! but I'm quite sure I can bag one. Any advice fellow redditors :) ?

Since my family uses wifi most of the time there isn't any need for unlimited mobile data for me and I rarely make any calls. When airtel was offering the plan of 49rs even that recharge would go to waste as there would be more than 80% of it left by the end of the month. But I had to recharge that once a month in order for the sim to stay active. But now airtel has increased that plan to 79rs and now more than 90% of this just goes to waste since calling isn't necessary for me. The real bad thing is they have also decreased the time of the sim being deactivated after not recharging for a while. **Just after a week of the monthly expiry airtel cuts down the incoming too.** These sim companies are feeding the hell off of people. This is just stressing people to buy useless plans even though they don't use data or aren't in need of unlimited calls. I thought to switch to vodafone but even they have the same plans. I live in Bangalore. I don't want to just keep feeding these companies just to make 2 calls a month and to keep my number alive. Is there a way I can decrease the amount of recharge in any way? Is there any other company that I could switch to? What would the best thing to do in this case? ​ Edit: A very few of you people have misunderstood this post on a whole another level. So I'd like to make it clear for those so they understand properly. 1. First of all, the pack I'm mentioning is not unlimited but talk time. And I don't need unlimited data since I use airtel broadband. The whole thing is about there being a monthly expiry for talk time and airtel cutting down incoming too quick. That is why I bolded that sentence when I first made the post too. So stop saying that internet charges in our country are the cheapest. It's about cutting down the customer costs that are being wasted, not asking to provide cheaper service. What is the point of a company existing to provide service that isn't being used by the customer. 2. Yes I already knew that the other network companies are struggling since jio came around. But if these companies focus more on extracting money from customers (for eg. making it vital to recharge with 79 or more every single month and then cutting down incoming just a week after the expiry.) it would just make people cut down costs on other services of the same company like broadband and TV or switch to jio's services. There have also been many cases where VI is charging customers for random services they didn't even opt for. This is literally scam. Which would again lead to people to switch to JIO. So the competition should be in providing a better service than the other and not in how much money they can extract from people. 3. The whole idea of this post was to point out that, making it compulsory for customers to join the plans that they don't use and also trying to increase it and charge it again and again as quickly as possible would only harm the company. ​ ​

So I'll be finishing college soon(I'm 21) and I've got a job offer at a Service-Based Company(read TCS) at 7.5 LPA at the role of Systems Engineer. I have an option to stay here in my city, Kolkata, where living expenses would be dirt cheap and I could potentially be living like a king considering my salary right after college. Anymore increment though, would eventually take me to Bangalore, which I plan to do anyway in the next 2 years with growth during the switch. I don't have anyone dependent on me other than my girlfriend whom I'd be leaving for long distance potentially, but I would also save a lot living in the city, apart from the several advantages of living in my hometown. The other option is to shift to Bangalore, pay a significant portion of my salary into the rent(I don't plan on living in a PG), and focus on my career growth altogether. I know I'll learn a lot during my initial years in Bangalore and it would be far easier if I see myself switching anytime sooner. I see myself working with American Banks as a Data Analyst or Data Scientist down the line.

I was desperate to get a job, so I applied through quikr to many data entry jobs which I deeply regret now. One of them contacted me and asked me to pay ₹250, I know thay jobs where you have to pay upfront are scams, but I was desperate so I did. Next day their so called 'Superior' contacted me asked me to sent aadhar and a photo which I stupidly did. They called me and asked me for ₹2000 more and I declined and said I wasn't interested anymore. They're now talking about taking some sort of legal action against me. I reported both their accounts and blocked them for the time being. I dunno what to, I'm a fresher and all I wanted was to earn some money which now I regret so much. What should I do? Please help. UPDATE : Thanks to all of you that comforted and adviced me I know this all happened to my carelessness. I mustered up courage called my local cyber crimes office , they told me to file a complaint via email with all the proofs. Most of chat proofs were gone when I panicked and deleted chat, but i had that ₹250 payment proof, and their account details which I was too lazy to type in when they gave it to me so I actually copied it to google keeps, luckily that helped out. And finally I sent the complaint

I went to Udaipur over the weekend and was highly disappointed by the tourist places. 'Saheliyo ki baari' was just a fountain with green water that's turned black, 'City palace' repetitive showcase of utensils, baaris, jarokhas - everything like other palaces I've been too. 'Lok Kala Mandal' just had some miscellaneous artsy things which were pretty meh too. Ghangaur ghat's water was green and dirty as well. The list goes on... in short I didn't find anything appealing. Which brings me to the question. Is all of this appealing/enjoyable to you all? Do I just not like travelling or am I not doing it properly. Is this even travelling? Visiting average places monetised for tourism? If no, what is travelling to you? And what makes it enjoyable. Share your thoughts r/india. I don't think I'm a 'wanderluster' after all. Am I an anomaly? :P

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday announced the nationwide rollout of the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM), a scheme that will enable Indians to create and access digital health records. The mission, under which every Indian will get a unique 14-digit health identification (ID) number, has been renamed the Pradhan Mantri Digital Health Mission (PM-DHM). https://www.news18.com/news/india/digital-health-mission-launch-this-is-how-your-health-id-will-help-maintain-medical-records-4249949.html

Is taking a cab from Delhi to Mcleodganj worth it, in terms of the scenic view which we will get along the way or is it best to take the hsrtc bus. If we go buy bus then we cannot stop in the way for sometime as bus will stop in some designated points. Can I get a cab around 5k for 3 people? Thanks for your suggestions.

So, I am currently a student. Will be joining a college next year (Fingers crossed). I have heard some in-campus job offers are from US/Canada (with higher than usual salary). So that got me thinking, if ever one has the opportunity to go somewhere else for job or any other reasons, what precautions should one take ? As far as I know, India does not allow dual-nation citizenship, so will that be a problem if one goes to a foreign land ?

Hi everyone, hope you all are doing good. This is to inform all of you about r/indiansports, a sub dedicated to discuss sporting news and events related to India or Indians.

BJP came to power in Karnataka promising to 'clean' governance. Far from it! Take the example of my father who has the title to a 20 Gunta (half-acre) land in a village in North Bangalore. Local officials at the Revenue (land records) department have been dragging their feet on the request to complete the registration. From the few conversations I have had with officials asking for the reason for delay, they give vague responses. Same with my requests via RTI and Writ Petition order from High Court. The response has been vague Informally I was told local officials, politicians seem to be hand in glove with the 'land sharks.' If this is a case in Urban Karnataka, I can imagine the plight of those in rural areas. --------------- I have resorted to a [**Change.org petition**](https://www.change.org/RevenueKarnataka) drive and seek help from digirati. Is it wishful thinking? Request to this group - All it takes is a few minutes of your time to support/sign my [**change.org**](https://www.change.org/RevenueKarnataka) petition.

I was browsing through the service providers for iPhones on Apple India's website and there were so many service provides with different names unlike Samsung and Xiaomi which have their own brand name at their service centers . I'm confused which one to choose from.

A couple of days back, in a discussion about UP, I was shown this article. [Uttar Pradesh gets over Rs 1.88 trillion investment over last 3.5 years](https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/uttar-pradesh-gets-over-rs-1-88-trillion-investment-over-last-3-5-years-121013001286_1.html) --- Now, we all know Ajay Bisht lies, his officials lie & media lies for him - [The news in TOI that UP surges to second spot on GSDP list, beats Gujarat & TN was debunked in this sub earlier](https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/ly1thj/unable_to_make_sense_of_the_data_used_in_the_ajay/) - it was an utter nonsense press release which TOI published without checking. - Then [Ajay lied in a speech about UP's GDP growth & per Capita GDP growth & those were also debunked in this sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/m5xf3h/more_lies_from_up_cm_ajay_bisht_about_up_growth/) ---- So coming back to this trillion gajjilion investment, let's look in the article a little deeper. First who/what was the **source** for the article > Alok Tandon, Infrastructure and Industrial Development **Commissioner of the state** said Lord love a duck! The source is one of Ajay's guys!!!! So I asked for other sources & was given this https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/how-yogi-adityanath-is-beginning-to-recast-up-as-a-business-friendly-destination/articleshow/77305692.cms This one is a little clearer > Fresh annual investments grew from Rs 39,193 crore in March 2018 to Rs 52,211 crore in March 2020, even as the share of private sector grew from 29.45% to 42.18%. 2017-18 - Rs. 39, 193 Crores 2019-20 - Rs, 52, 211 Crores And even that figure wasn't that of **just private investments** but also included Govt investments. Actually private investments wasn't even a majority of it - much More than half of it was Govt investment! And Economic Times's source for that was a site called "Projects Today". So let's check out if we can get more info about this from Projects Today themselves. From a separate article in Projects Today about Private Investments in UP in 2020. [From Projects Today: Top 5 states for private investment in Financial Year 2020 - Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha, Rajasthan & West Bengal](https://projexsurvey.projectstoday.com/2020/04/06/raise-in-government-spending-is-the-need-of-the-hour/) Rank | State | Private Investments ---|---|--- 1 | Maharashtra | 1,06,922 crore 2 | Gujarat | 1,02,346 crores 3 | Odisha | 50,000 crores 4 | Rajasthan | 44,857 crore **5** | **West Bengal** | 35,299 crore **Uttam Pradesh wasn't in the top 5 states in 2020 for private investments**. And West Bengal which as per BJP is like sub-Saharan Africa was. No wonder the great population of West Bengal helped the TMC kick BJP in the elections.

I recently turned 18 and have been looking for jobs online and I want the money I earn to go into my personal bank account because my father refuses to pay for my tuitions as he is against my wish of getting into a medical school. The only things I have are an Aadhaar card. What else do I need and how do I get it?

A psychologist I have been to was kinda persuasive about taking an NLP test or neuro linguistic programming which seems to be completely based on pseudoscience and it's highly unlikely that it works. I don't think it's ethical or moral for a mental health practitioner to use fake science on vulnerable patients and scam them out of money. It would have been different if it was astrology because the clients there are not really visiting to get mental help. Edit: the psychologist also had 24 years of experience and PhD but they had absolutely no experience of working with queer community I guess because they didn't even know the difference between sexuality, gender and sex.

I'm in my mid 20s now and currently in a complex predicament for some time already. Therefore, I need advice (or another perspective) on resolving the predicament as it is affecting me mentally. So I'm going to tell a short summary of my situation before asking adivce. So, basically I have a single mother and she got divorced when I was a small child. We got support from my grandpa after her divorce and she didn't marry anyone further and just decided to take care of me only. Therefore, I had really caring mother and had a quite good childhood because of her. For my bachelor's, I moved out and it was partly financed by grandpa and myself teaching online. Then after bachelors, I had a job offer abroad but I declined the offer and took job in India so to be near her. I used to visit her 4 times a year and call everyday to know she feels okay and what's going on in her life (which I always do). While working, I partly financed to buy property which gives her rent to pay for most of her living expenses now as by now, my grandpa's support was cut off. So, after 1-2 year of working in india, I decided to moved out for master's on my own expenses and also left some money saved for her living and emergency funds until I get job abroad. My plan was to emigrate and also bring her abroad in future. During my master's degree, I used to talk every day with my mother but couldn't visit her due to pandemic. Also, I fell in love with a non Indian girl and met her family. So, I liked her and told my mom about her but she clearly said she won't accept her no matter how good she is because she is non Indian. Now, after master's I got a job and told my mom that it takes some time to bring her abroad permanently but she can visit me for couple of months frequently which she will soon in a couple of months. Now my mom is in late 40s and she really feels unhappy about the current situation. According to her, I didn't sacrificed for her and sort of betrayed her by leaving for abroad and not staying in india. And now I should do as much as possible to bring her here near me as soon as possible or come back to India. She also hates that I am in love with non Indian girl and she doesn't accept her. According to her, I should be marrying a woman on which she agrees while I'm saying for 8 years already that I will marry according to myself. So overall, she feels that I should be sacrifice my career goals and life partner and live near her because she is single mother in late 40s and would like to near me who needs care and emotional support and she is sacrificed a lot for me. Now, from my perspective, I love my mom and my girlfriend both a lot. I clearly don't want to lose contact with anyone and I clearly understand my mother has done a lot for me. However, the current situation is affecting me mentally and my involvement in work. Therefore, I need advice/opinion/another perspective on how to proceed further. 1) I'm currently planning to buy additional property in which she can live safely in a housing society or rent it out for additional money, for the time I can bring her abroad permanently. However, she feels that I'm planning to settle her in india permanently. How to avoid making her feel like that? 2) She wants to live in the same household when she moves abroad with me permanently, however, this is okay intially but I prefer her to live in flat just in front of me rather in the same common living area. However, she would be extremely unhappy about it. How to make her understand that as a couple, we would need our privacy because currently she feels, that she should be staying with us. 3) Currently, I have explained a lot my mom that marrying an non Indian is nothing different and I really like the girl. However, my mom is unable to budge on this. What should be my steps going further to make her feel comfortable with our relationship?

Intro: Im just a 14 yr old kid studying in 10th, I live outside of India so i may not know about issues in India as much as the people who live there. I wish to be a footballer, and prime minister after retirement. Things i would implement: Education 1) Education be made free for people who cannot afford to pay fees for their sons/daughters. 2) Make an organisation aimed at teaching people in rural areas importance of education so that people start sending girls to schools too. 3) Parents who dont send their children to school shall be punished with a 1 year prison sentence thus forcing parents to enroll their children in schools. 4) Regular checking of schools to ensure that children are taught the right things the right way. Overpopulation 1) Introduce a 2 child policy to control overpopulation. Exceptional cases: if a woman gives birth to triplets they can have 3 kids. 2) Make an organisation aimed at educating people about the financial issues of raising kids. 3) Poor people are restricted from having kids until they have enough money to raise a kid. The reason why I include this is because I have noticed that poor people have 4 or 5 children but struggle to feed them even a days meal. This is pure injustice as if you decide to become a parent, you should also make sure that they are provided with basic necessities. This would cut down the population as well as poverty because if a family is too poor to have children, they end their bloodline there itself. Crime and safety 1) Introduce stronger punishments for crimes. A man who is guilty of rape shall be hanged to death if the woman dies of rape(if she doesnt die then its a guaranteed 20 years in prison, no parole). The reason why India is not so safe is because the punishments for crimes are too mild. A man can easily rape a women and get a mild sentence, or maybe not even a sentence at all. Corruption 1) Make sure that government officials get paid a good salary (1 lakh a month doesnt seem too much, does it?). This has advantages such as i) Officials wont buy bribes because they already get a good salary. ii) More people will be employed in government related posts thus reducing unemployment rates. 2) If a person is guilty of buying bribes, he/she shall be given a sentence of 1 year in jail for betraying the country. If a person tries to bribe you, report it to the authorities, he/she shall be rewarded with a medal and 50000rs as a reward. To ensure officials are honest, spies will be employed by the government and will try to bribe them. Failure to report them will lose you your job and also a hefty fine of 1 lakh to be paid. Health 1) Invest more money into healthcare so that every person gets good treatment for his/her ailment. Income inequality 1) Every citizen who earns a lot of money shall be asked to pay some to the government so that this money can be used for developing poor regions and also will be given to the poor so that the income gap narrows down. This is how it works. A person earning 5-10 lakh rs a month shall be asked to pay 25000 rs. A person earning 10-20 lakhs a month shall be asked to pay 75000 rs. 20-40 lakhs per month, 1 lakh. People with millionaire and billionaire (in terms of dollars) status shall be personally asked to pay a sum that they are comfortable with. The amount they have to pay depends on their annual income and their net worth. Social inequality 1) DEMOLISH THE CASTE SYSTEM. LIKE LITERALLY DEMOLISH IT TO PIECES TO THE EXTENT THAT THE FUTURE GENERATIONS SHOULDNT GET TO KNOW THAT SUCH A SYSTEM WAS IMPLEMENTED IN INDIA. Religious inequality Each religion has its own government which has power in subjects related to each religion so that there are no conflicts in the country. Inspired by Belgiums community government model. Development 1) Make sure that the growth per year doesnt fall less than 9%. At this rate India should be a developed country in a matter of a decade. 2) Make sure income per capita increases every year. These are the things I would implement if I were to be the Prime Minister of the country. This took me about a hour to write so any suggestions are highly recommended <3! Your opinion is highly valued to me.

I've seen far too many youngsters with side mirror removed and not only do they pose a threat to themselves by doing so but also to others. First of all they drive without a helmet at high speed. Secondly while taking a left or right turn, side mirror Helps you a lot and can prevent accidents too. meanwhile my friends shame me for having side mirror because it looks very 'boomerish' 🙄😒

I've been struggling with a specific chapter in accountancy called "issue and forfeiture of Shares".Is there anyone who would wanna be my study buddy where we can help each other with our doubts,questions and share notes,etc.We can create a group and add more people to it.You can dm me or comment here!

In the movie it's always the guy who approaches the heroine first while the heroine just do nothing else with no personality and just sits there for the hero to come and approach her..... it's always the guy who initiate intimacy while women just stands there to receive it. In reality this couldn't be further from the truth... most of my exes, my friend's girlfriend doesn't initiate any intimacy, we do all the heavy lifting like cracking jokes , making her feel good , making her thrilled, paying for the dates and gives all the compliments etc...etc. Ohh yeah most women I know almost never compliment their bfs and even my exes. Men are the **entertainers** and women are the **entertainee**....why men have to do all the hard work ? Why women don't work on their hobbies or personalities rather than blowing money on makeup 💄? ( Sorry if I sound rude )🙂🙏🏻 I hate that most women just expects romance from men but doesn't do the same for men. We wanna be complimented , we wanna be touched without having to ask you , we wanna laugh at your jokes too.

I'm honestly tired of the Indian government's inability to lobby for the world to accept covaxin. I literally took the first vaccine that was available to me and now I'm paying the price as I'm pretty much considered unvaccinated in most countries. Is there any procedure by which we can switch vaccines at all? The US is also only going to allow travel to those that have taken Covishield and not Covaxin. I'm exhausted by the govt saying, "WHO approval coming soon" since 4 months. Literally no solid timelines on this and it's been an absolute pain.

BsnL was profitable till 2004 it made 3.6k crores in profit but after 2006 that time telecommunication minister Dayanidhi Maran forced bsnl to give illegal favours to his brother's company sun network which leads to loss of 1.5k crore rupees to bsnl. when bsnl asked the government to allow wifi max technology that time telecom minister A.Raja didn't allow it.bsnl wasn't even allowed to participate in the 2010 spectrum of LTE. A Raja's telecom spectrum corruption was allegedly exposed in 2011 which cost the country 2 lakh crores\*. in 2013 bsnl was finally allowed to use wifi max technology that too it was forced to use inferior 2.4 GHz with cheap devices from one specific company due to this systematic suppression the crown jewel bsnl who used to make 3.6 crores in profit turned to huge loss-making machine. currently, they are on the list of loss-making PSU ist by Niti ayog and will be probably either sold to private players or will be shut off once and for all. one more PSU will be killed because of the greed and incompetence of politicians and bureaucracy.

I just purchased a used Nintendo DSi on eBay for 55 USD (20 for the item + 35 for shipping). I’m aware that Indian customs is pretty insane with regard to the rates at which they apply these charges. I was wondering if they’d apply a certain percentage of the item alone (45% of 20 USD), or the item+shipping (45% of 55 USD)?

I graduated from one of the top engineering colleges in Bengaluru a few years ago. Over the past few days, I have been going through another one of my phases of trying to identify the subtle manifestations of casteism that I've witnessed first-hand in my life - around me. The reason I'm writing this post is to *bring attention* to this issue. I hope more capable people and more resourceful people will see this as a starting point to take up this issue and do something about this by moving some wheels in the cog. I am just narrating my first-hand experiences *as an outsider* after having thought about how disgusting this culture is and having strongly felt that something needs to be done to remedy this. # Background Before I can get to my rant, I feel I need to set up some context for those not familiar with the workings of engineering college admissions in Karnataka. Most engineering students in Karnataka enter their colleges either through CET, COMED-K, one of the "management quotas", or in very specific cases (university-specific entrance exams such as PESSAT, but that's mostly not relevant to our discussion because it's such a small sample). However, there is also another mode through which you can enter - and it's called the Lateral Entry System. This is for the folks who have completed their Diplomas after high school. They can also write the CET (albeit, a different one) and directly enter into the second year of engineering. I believe they might have to cover some extra credits for what they missed out on in the first year, but beyond that, they are pretty much the same as a regular engineering student who entered in their first year. To start off with, for most people who pursue a Diploma after high school, it is seen as a "backup" option for them to get into the job market sooner in case they have to support their family and have no time/money to pursue a full-blown engineering degree. Of course, some of them end up doing pretty well in their Diploma courses, and also have some bandwidth to go through the full BE/BTech degree, so that's where the lateral entry comes in. # The Rant Begins Before I begin, I want to do a full disclosure: I am an upper caste, English-medium educated middle-class dude currently living in the United States, but I have grown up in an ultra-conservative lower-middle-class family setting as a child, so I have certainly seen the "raw" side of casteism around me (although not directed at me, ofc). I first encountered the incoming Diploma students on the first week of my second year, and straight away from Day 1, you could feel that they felt out of place in this new environment. It was not just the newness of being in a new place - everybody gets that. It was a very visible feeling of being out of place. Many of them came from Tier 2 cities, and this was their first time in the thick of a metropolitan environment. Most of their classmates were richer, louder, more articulate, and probably largely upper caste. Their English was obviously good enough to pass the academic checkboxes, but conversational English was another matter altogether (they were in their comfort zone speaking Kannada). It was quite natural that all these factors led to an instant inferiority complex that they turned inward and formed a clique of their own, and barely interacted with anybody outside their group. And it was not that the rest of the class didn't notice this. Oh, we very much did. Despite that, nobody (including yours truly) offered to help them out with course logistics, just general fitting in, or anything along those lines. It was almost as though there was a tacit agreement that any strong association with them was a surefire way to be an outcast yourself. ## Peer Interactions Most students had one of two modes of interaction with them - 1) Ignore them 2) Be patronizing (subtly, of course). The caste dynamic at play was obvious. The diploma folks, when talking to anyone outside of their clique, would talk in toned-down voices in almost apologetic tones. I do not recall a single instance of a diploma student getting into a loud conversation with a non-diploma student about anything in the class (or outside). At best, their interactions with the Outsiders were limited to one-on-one situations or when they approached other groups as a group themselves. Maybe someone with a keener eye for these things could pick up more signals / chime in in the comments. ## Fests / Cultural activites None of the students participated in the tech fests or the cultural events (at least that I know of (there might have been a few exceptions)). I don't recall even considering any of them when I would think about which of my classmates I would team up for a competition or a group activity. Sure, it wasn't because I was casteist; it was simply because I was trying to find the best set of folks for getting the job done. But shouldn't we think hard about what's preventing these folks from being just as good as any of the others? It's obviously systemic. None of them felt that they had the agency to form a club of their own or even something like a formal meetup group of Diploma folks to help each other out. Nope. I'm in an American university campus, and I can tell you that if the same thing were to happen here, these folks would make sure to bring the whole fucking university to its knees until things changed. Now, I know that political unions are banned in engineering universities, so that's probably unrealistic. But at least something like a support group of their own where they can inform one another about resources, and lift each other up would be great. I believe at this point, the colleges need to take responsibility to make this happen. ## The Professors To the credit of most professors, there were almost no outright incidents of discrimination that I saw at least during the class. I'm sure I do not know the stories that took place behind the scenes and the staff room walls, so I will refrain from making any umbrella statements. However, there were certainly very obvious patterns that I noticed in their interactions with the professors as well. 1. I remember ZERO instances of a Diploma student asking an even slightly challenging question to a professor. ZERO. 2. Some professors obviously went out of their way to help these students do better in exams, assignments, etc. And make sure that they understood the material well. But surprise, surprise - there was a very obvious patronizing streak in their behavior throughout. No surprises at all, ofc. 3. Professors were more likely to ask one of the front-bencher "Diploma students" to help them with small chores. This could be something as small as carrying books back to their staff room, but I still felt like they were disproportionately being asked to do these things. Or maybe I'm reading too much / overgeneralizing. I don't know. But I wanted to put it out there nevertheless. ## Career opportunities / Campus placements I would wager that most of the students from that cohort are doing fairly decently in their lives, especially considering that we were from the CS department of a top-tier college in Bengaluru, but I cannot speak for people from other departments (I'm pretty sure my cohort was probably one of the better off ones). However, AFAIK, none of them actively considered grad school or see no realistic path where they end up in, say, a FAANG company (I'm from CS, so this is the gold standard career path for us, but think equivalent stuff for other streams). I don't know anyone from the cohort who tried to reach out for internships or research apprenticeships (except for in their last semester when it was compulsory to do so). # "What does this have to do with caste?" If you have to even ask this question, you are not my target audience. I don't have the patience to explain to you what this has to do with caste (and not simply a difference in incoming knowledge / them joining late / etc.). Go read The Annihilation of Caste a few times and come back. # If you were part of this cohort / know someone... My intention with the post is not to speak FOR you, but just to narrate the things I saw. So if you were in such a cohort, I would love to hear about your experiences, anecdotes, ideas for changing the status quo, etc. If you know someone, please share this post with them (or get the message that they shouldn't go through this alone across in any way possible). My DMs are open to help in any way. **P.S. I'm well aware that Caste is anything but non-political, but the reason I applied the Non-Political tag is that I feel the Politics section is mostly about the government and election stuff.** EDIT: It doesn't surprise me at all that people see this as a "class and not caste" problem. I mean this is probably Indian social studies debate topic 101. But as much as it's tempting to view it as just a class thing, you have to understand a few things. First off, class and caste are not uncorrelated (again, exceptions to the rule doesn't invalidate the rule). And if you are going to tell me that it's okay that that correlation exists and it's "just the way things are", I think that's pretty fucked up, because it just goes to show how numb we've grown to the correlation existing. And given that they ARE largely correlated, why is it so unacceptable the moment somebody even looks at it from the prism of caste instead of class? I don't protest at the idea of looking at it from a class perspective. I welcome it just as much (I just so happen to be making some observations pertinent to the caste angle in this particular post). Pause and think about why it's so unacceptable for you to even think about it from the caste lens. Do you actually believe that you can simply wish away centuries of internalised cultural outlook just like that (the whole premise of modern day caste literature rests on the non-explicit). It's a living, breathing system that has been deeply embedded in how we function as a society. I don't claim to be a scholar on this topic by any means whatsoever, but I've listened to tens of hours of first-hand Dalit experiences and read dozens of books as well. And you might say that that makes me likely to be someone with a hammer looking for a nail. And you wouldn't be wrong. Except I do see the nail, and it's clearly sticking out. To be more specific (and I recognize that this is anecdotal, but I think it's still pretty informative), in this very same diploma cohort, there was this one Brahmin guy (from a rural background, nevertheless). And he was perhaps the most outspoken of the lot. Despite mostly keeping to his group, I never saw the same sense of inferiority complex in him. I remember him cracking (admittedly lame) jokes in class, taking initiative for the rest of his team, and just in general, acting more or less as a bridge between the diploma students and the rest of the class. If this doesn't tell you the difference between class and caste, I don't know what will. To the commenter who said that I'm casteist for assuming all Diploma students are lower caste - I want to say this: just because somebody mentions a race and makes a statement about it, it doesn't make them racist. Same goes with caste. I know enough about Karnataka to recognise which surnames are upper caste and which ones are not (it's a messed up skill to advertise, but I can to a large extent, nevertheless). So it is not an assumption, but it is literally my observation. Again, the Brahmin guy I spoke about earlier was an exception. And you REALLY need to understand this - the world is a chaotic place and there will always be exceptions. But if you focus only on them and proving people like me "wrong", you'll probably succeed (you just need one counter example to prove something false), but is that kind of an argument really being productive in taking us towards a better society? **TL;DR I overwhelmingly agree about there being a strong class angle to this (perhaps even stronger), but that's not disgusting in the same way as the caste angle. You might feel "left out" at best for not getting to hang out with the rich kids. But if you have any sense of justice, watching/reliving some of those interactions with obvious caste subtexts will literally give you emotional trauma. And that's why I chose to focus on that. But I guess I learnt my lesson lol. People somehow are more interested in debating me about class/caste than actually talking about the problem.**

I just turned 20 this year and ohh man I feel so old yet still so young with potential to make a difference in my life. I am a dropper for jee and nowadays I study my ass off for it. Anyway let's cut to the case...I have absolutely **NO IDEA** about how to save up money, I don't even know what mutual funds , liquid funds and stocks even means.... never in my life I have so bamboozled and dumbfounded. Since I am getting older I am thinking that the best course of action is to start early in saving up so that I could learn and grow from it ... and maybe oneday be financially independent. Any help from you guys is greatly appreciated. Much love ❤️.

The first time that I remember ordering food was with McDonald's. I was studying in a college in Chennai and I was asked by a senior to order pizza for him (of course he paid) and pick it up from the nearest gate. It was done over call and I remember being very nervous about the whole experience. Then came Food Panda - this I think was in my third/fourth year. I remember ordering grilled chicken worth 400 for 80-90 Rs. Food was really cheap, orders getting mixed up, wrong orders getting delivered was not very rare. There were situations where we order, the restaurant declines and we get into a con-call with the Food Panda person and the restaurant person to discuss alternatives and eventually end up getting a lot of freebies. This went on for a while. I graduated and started working and by then, it was Swiggy vs the rest. Fast forward to 2019, Swiggy was reasonably cheap if you had Super - and Super costed just 49/month. Zomato Gold was also popular and we used it a lot for buy one get one on drinks plus food. The last I remember ordering from Swiggy was when the Swiggy40 was stopped. Fast forward to now, we have supper which is super costly and most offers extinct. I dunno if it's a Chennai thing or this is the pattern everywhere. TLDR: Ordering food online was really cheap back then, now it's significantly costlier than eating out.

Agree or not Even/Odd scheme in Delhi was still better than doing nothing against pollution, but in months of extreme pollution taking in mind the extreme health risks can't the governments focus on switching school to online mode and office work to work from home. 2 years back implementing this must have sounded nuts but with current technological development and practices, this seems like an easy to implement solution to keep your citizens, kids and employees safe.

So i have been feeling this form of nothingness for quite some time now, its been 5 years, and as of now i have no friends no realtionships, no job, no hobbies, no interests, nothing i did enjoy reading, and travelling but not anymore... i have just finished BBA some months ago ... and tbh an entire day passes by and i do nothing but sit and stare at nothing, as if im in a state of catatonia forever, my relationships with my parents have even turened strange, i dont even talk to anyone anymore even after living in the same home, and my parents belong to middle class, father has multiple businesses and everything altogether is fine as far as my siblings and my family is concerned. And they have kind of accepted that i may be lazy or this is something temporary, but as far as i know about me, its not! i also suspect i may not be neurotypical. and all in all i really am contemplating about it !!!

I sort of lost track of all the psedo science quotes from our beloved leaders. Remember? [Mahabharata](https://indianexpress.com/article/india/after-tripura-cms-mahabharata-statement-heres-a-list-of-other-controversial-statements-passed-by-bjp-leaders-5142055/), Ramayan, plastic surgery by [Lord Ganesh](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-41344136), [Sadhguru pseduoscience](https://badscience.in/sadhguru/) etc I want combine all this info in one place(just because?), but also think it might be handy someday. Do you guys have any of your favourites? Share away!

1st time posting on Reddit so please forgive me for the mistakes So basically I was saving money to get a decent computer for me to learn programming and ethical hacking (not because they're trending but because I always had an interest in them). I come from a low-income family, my dad is working and my mother is a housewife and to get basic things like a computer so I had saved around 38000 rupees (started from 8th class) but during COVID my father lost his job and it was a difficult time for us. Till the time he got his job back, I was left with 22k. I decided to buy a second-hand laptop, but as the amount was low I had to spend some time carefully checking the laptops. and was searching for around 2-3 weeks. But then my sister needed the money due to a marital problem and legal consulting. and now I'm completely broke. My best friend even gave his old laptop to me but the specs are seriously low (2008 intel atom hp mini with 1 GB RAM) which I have been using since April 2020). he's the one who advised me to post here. Someone advised me to learn to use a mobile phone but I do not have a phone and use my mother's galaxy j1 for calling etc. I seriously request anyone if they can send me an old laptop which would be enough to learn programming and hacking. I am already an intermediate in Java (learned in school) and know some video editing work. If anyone can guide me on what should I do I would be very much obliged. If anyone has an old computer and is willing to help me, I can provide my ID and ews proof and any other document or proof required for identification and share the reason for my sister's urgent need for money

I’m 18 years old, I’ve completed my 12th grade and also appeared for Medical Entrance Exam. Now since there’s no vacations plans and I’m just siting idle at home. I thought it would be better if I could work and earn something. It’s not like I’ve not tried anything. I tried taking tuitions for Physics and Math for lower classes but their parents wanted full commitment until the academic year is over. I cannot do that, since my Med School will start. I made resumes for few people too, but one of them just thanked me and other didn’t bother replying me message. Anyways it wasn’t a lot of work, but then too. I’m also scared with part time online working jobs, most of them are just scams. Is there any reliable job a 18 year old can do?

If a student is getting any of lower ranked IIIT like kottayam, dharwad, chitoor, karnool; are they really worth investment of 10-16L from career point of view. Or Is it better to take Drop and work hard and try for either any of NIT or IIIT like Bangalore, Jabalpur, Kanchipooram, Lacknow, Delhi?

Hello everyone, I'm a person who has great communication skills built in and I'm kind of grateful for this. But there are certain ways you can *improve* your communication skills. I found all this during my life itself and I hope it works for you. 1. **Start meeting a lot of people** (not the best advice at this point of time). Be it through events, competitions, etc. But basically be open to meeting new people or even your known ones. Don't restrict interactions because they are the most practical applications/test of communication skills. You'll hesitate to meet people at first but when you do, you'll have to manage somehow, right? So that would give you the required exposure. After 2-3 of these meets, you'll start NOT being hesitant of talking to people. 2. **When meeting people,** think of them like, *"Iska baap hu mai"*. This would boost your superiority complex a bit and take down that nervousness. Nervousness in a conversation is majorly because of the inferiority complex. And we want some artificial superiority complex. So next time you meet someone, say this in your mind, *"Here comes the d-ckhead"*. Not really telling you to disrespect the person but saying this once (or twice) will help. 3. **Talk to call centre employees!** Man, this is the best advice that I can give to anyone on this planet and even I use this method. Call center people are *required* to be polite to customers. They won't be rude to you. Their job asks for this. They won't laugh on your broken English or your stammering habit. If they do, they'll be fired. That's why you gotta capitalise on this aspect. Talk to them for your warranty claims, complaints, etc., in Hindi or in English whatever feels comfortable at first. Just do this. 4. **Try talking to yourself.** I've been doing this since I was 8 or 10 years old, in Hindi at that time and now in English+Hindi. I talk to myself as if I'm giving an interview to someone. I talk about anything. Sometimes I talk about how reels are cringe, sometimes about how Tata Harrier is the best car (lmao), sometimes about India, etc. Just do this. This gives alot of confidence and speaking skills because there's nobody to judge you. Just you (unless you're not alone). I hope this helps someone. I'll add more things if they come to my mind.

If your girlfriend keeps photos of his ex bf in her phone ( some kissing ones too) and on confrontation terms them as good memories.. what should ideally be done?

So I wanted to sell my AirPods which came free with MacBook(buyer knows this) to a buyer I found on reddit offering me the desired value. Now, I have to ship the product to him via a courier service which is reliable and he agrees that he'll make half of the payment in advance before shipping and the rest after delivery. Questions - 1) how do I ensure that he'll pay me the rest of the amount after the product is delivered. Is there any service available in india for this? 2) which is the most reliable courier service which would handle the product with care and not like Delhivery, on which, I trust less because one instance that happened with wherein the package was tampered with. Thanks!

S. Malini was one of India's best narco analyst and helped security agencies in conducting thousands of Narco tests. But not only was she an expert, she was also a celebrity. An excerpt from Josy Joseph's A silent Coup shows how: >...... They were trying to get an appointment with Dr S. Malini, the celebrated narco-analyst at the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), better known as Dr Narco in the security establishment. She had a formidable reputation for having helped investigation agencies across India unravel many complex crimes. Dr Malini was almost a celebrity, and some of her interrogations, recorded on video, have been sensational news. Further a [Bangalore Mirror article](https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/opinion/sunday-read/dr-narco-and-ms-hide/articleshow/22204505.cms) shows how she was made the Poster Child of FSL in Bangalore which led to more funds coming into it, furthering her celebrity status. Her celebrity status became controversial too and the allegations against her put a serious question on the use of Narco tests by security agencies : > Malini’s narco tests have played a critical role in solving many a sensational crime during that period. According to her own estimates, she has conducted the tests on about 130 suspected terrorists and fifteen Naxalites, among others. In the narco test she conducted on Abdul Karim Telgi, who made almost Rs 10,000 crore selling counterfeit stamp papers, he purportedly named several top Maharashtra politicians, setting off a political storm that had few legal outcomes.I However she was then embroiled in controversies such as in the investigation of the murder of Sister Abhaya in Kerala: >In the murder case of Sister Abhaya in Kerala, in which two priests and a nun were accused, the court received a doctored CD of the narco tests that had been prepared by Malini. **A Kerala High Court judge said that the editing was ‘clearly visible to the naked eye and to find out the evident editing even an expert may not be necessary’.16** So crudely was it done. Yet, this middle-rung official of a regional forensic lab was one of the most decisive players in some of the biggest terrorist cases in India: the Mumbai train blasts, the Malegaon blasts and the terrorist bombings in Hyderabad, among other cases. > However, Dr Narco’s run did not last. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, courts found that Malini had repeatedly misled India’s already shaky war on terror.17 **On 25 February 2009, the Karnataka government sacked her for forging her educational certificates to secure her position.18 A few months earlier, a confidential police investigation had found that Malini had changed her year of birth from 1960 to 1964 so that she could qualify for the powerful position of assistant director of the FSL, deciding the fate of sensational cases. The report also accused her of submitting fake certificates issued by the University of Calgary, claiming that she had undergone basic and advanced hypnotherapy courses. The investigation found that the forged certificates had silly spelling errors, and the Karnataka police termed her a ‘security risk’.** By the time she was sacked, India’s most famous narco-analyst had conducted over 1,000 narco tests, some 3,000 lie-detection tests and 1,500 brain-mapping tests, according to a report in the Bangalore Mirror.19 No one cared to go back to her findings and tests, or assess their impact on the many criminals and innocents she had indicted through them. > In 2010, the Supreme Court held that narco analysis, brain-mapping and polygraph tests conducted without the consent of an individual were illegal and a violation of personal liberty.20 Sources : [1] The Silent Coup : A history of India's Deep State by Josy Joseph [2] https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/opinion/sunday-read/dr-narco-and-ms-hide/articleshow/22204505.cms

Basically the title, of course I see posts here how great MMS is now and then, but what do these folks know that andhra bifurcation is an undemocratic mess while whole deals done behind doors just to save someone's political career. Now for the rest of the folks here, don't conflate me disliking MMS to liking modi, that asshole neither delivered special status or special package for Andhra pradesh. To the telangana folk, maybe bifurcation is the answer but the way it proceeded is definitely wrong and I have nothing against you. Andhraites just let it flow.

I've Mohammad x on adhaar card and pan card but MD x on my educational certificates Does it gonna effect me in getting jobs?

I recently got a new job paying ~₹22k/month. It's just been over a week and I'm already having life crisis. I'm a 24 year old guy, from a lower middle class family, and we barely have enough for our needs. (Till class 12, I used to think we're in middle middle class or upper middle class, but after looking at my classmates from college, I realised my place) Anyway, since childhood, I had this hunger for money (and power), and I did worked hard for it. But as I moved higher up in education, I realised hard work isn't enough. Money, influence, connections, location, situation all played a vital role in how far one can go. And I have none. I don't have any useful relatives (we stay away from native) or friends who could help in any way. I tried making friends in college and university, but quickly realised that I couldn't connect with them. Most of them were on a different spectrum from mine. After graduation, I did try to make use of the lockdown to get a good paying job. But due to financial strain and incompatibility between my parents, there is always squabble or fights every fortnight or a month. I realised how important money is in order to make more money. I couldn't concentrate and had no choice but to take the lowest hanging fruit, which is the 3.56lpa job. Now I'm stuck in this job for at least 15 months, and anxiety and negative thoughts are creeping up in my mind. My mother has also started hinting for me to get married. It freaks me out when I think of it, especially when it's arranged marriage. I'm highly asocial, and don't have any experience with girls. And to think that I've to spend my personal space with an unknown girl, is beyond my mind. Also, I've been lonely for as long as I can remember and don't have close friends or gf to share my thoughts. So it's all bottled up. Earlier this didn't bother me much, but now that I've so much time in hand, it's adding to my stress. I don't know why I'm writing all this. Maybe I want advice, maybe consolation, maybe I just need to vent. But whatever it is, this is it. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

[removed] [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/pvr5m9)

So the government of our state has allowed the colleges to reopen for offline classes, as long as they follow COVID SOP and maintain social distancing. You can find the detailed SOP [here](https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/news/story/colleges-reopening-uttarakhand-govt-issues-sops-for-reopening-of-universities-1749129-2020-12-13) ​ But our college (DIT University) is not following any of these SOP guidelines, they are violating them as much as possible for their own benefit. ​ Before reopening, out college told us that: 1. All students should be vaccinated and vaccine certificate or rtPCR report is compulsory to enter the campus. 2. Social distancing will be enforced, everything will be sanitized regularly ​ But these all were lies just to lure students to coming to the campus, so that they can earn extra money from Hostel and transportation fees. ​ When I reached the campus, I wasn't asked for any rtPCR report or vaccine certificate. Everyone was entering the campus freely, there was no check to ensure if they have COVID or not. ​ Now, inside the campus 60% of students were roaming without the mask. When I reached the class, I saw that there were around 200 students sitting in the same room with 0 social distancing. Seriously. Even if one single student has COVID, they will spread it to whole class easily. ​ After the class got over, every student left the room, and new set of students arrived for second class, and there was no sanitization in between. ​ I understand that our University probably doesn't care about safety during COVID, or maybe they think that COVID is a joke, but not everyone is willing to risk their lives like this. ​ Our University is Huge, with thousands of students from all over India and other countries, 100s of students enter and leave this college at every hour of the day. So asking for rtPCR report or vaccine certificate every time someone enters the college is a difficult task, so they should at least provide the students an option to attend online classes from their home. That's what other Universities in this state are doing. ​ But University doesn't care if the students get COVID or not, they only care about earning money. ​ Many students have reported sick after coming to the campus, but University officials don't give a shit. They just want the students to attend college, live in their hostels, and make them rich. ​ Most Universities in this city are conducting classes in both online and offline mode. But our University has decided to conduct offline classes only. ​ Our University was also conducting classes in online mode earlier but now they have made offline classes compulsory as soon as they got the chance. Putting students health at risk. ​ What can be done in this situation?

# Basics: 1. except for IPO(which are increasingly rare) and <ahem> stock splits, the total number of shares in the exchanges, more or less remains the same 2. When you buy a share from the secondary market (exchanges), not a penny goes to the company or the nation or in anyway directly improves the GDP of the country 3. When the share price of a company goes up or down, it is based on the perception of the company doing well. Stock valuation and market caps often grossly outstrip the assets, revenues and profits of the companies. Like right now, most share prices are over-valued ... The economy is slowly coming back on track, but yet you hear everyday, that sensex is zooming onward and upward showing no signs of slowing down. This is only because large money is flowing into "the ring" aka the exchanges. The rate of opening of new demats and inflow of domestic money from retail investors is continuing. The other 2 big players being DII and FII. So the indian share market should continue to ascend in the long term due to: 1. Fresh and existing retail investors pumping in money into the ring, with hopes of high returns due to high valuations 2. Indian economy growth story stays more optimistic and attractive vis-a-vis growth of rest of the world including developed and developing economies (Brazil, Russia, China, etc) ... Baki economy toh chalte rahega, apne hisab se ??

Hello r/India I'm working on a non profit project that's a social media platform which is designed to connect Indians across languages. This includes support for translation for all content, including transcribing images. I need someone to help provide translations for the UI. It's a list of a few dozen words it small phrases. Thank you in advanced.

BJP's rise was massively propelled by the party leaders being unapologetically Hindu. Right or wrong, it did get its ideology straight. And this ideology connects with the masses, especially rural. When it comes to Congress, I don't see a coherent ideology. RG's slogan of the 'hate-mongering BJP' does not seem to have a connect. Is socialism the only weapon in its arsenal that would connect to masses? What do you people think? BTW I'm not RG asking ideas for Congress on reddit.

Are there any Indian scholarships that support students for masters in Germany ? Did anyone got any German scholarship without knowledge of the language?

Started my first job less than a year ago and recently started reading up a bit on personal finance. The one common advice that I hear from multiple sources is to get health insurance for yourself and your dependants as the first step of feeling financially secure. Now my problem is I'm not sure I'll live in india all my life. There's a strong chance my parents want to move to the usa to be closer to their siblings and I would want to be there with them too. So my question is, is there any 'transferable' health insurance? I don't want to pay premiums(is that even the right word?) for the next 5-10 years only for it to be meaningless when/if we move outside.

I came across many civil engineers in Reddit getting low pay, many of them complained that it is a dead branch... most of them advised to take CS instead since IT industries are booming right now . Many people said that the salary package for CS is pretty big , one may get 12 lakhs annually at starting , some may get 40 lakhs annually once they completed 10+ years of experience. I am pretty much interested in CE and CSE both...but if I take CSE I will have to move out of Assam ( I live in Assam ) and have to go far away from my parents and friends which definitely sucks...or maybe if I take CE I may get a job in Guwahati , Assam which is near my house. [[**Side question**:Is it okay to move out far away from house just to get a with big salary package? or is it okay if I just find a comfortable job at my place?]]

I was scrolling through reddit and I came upon [this](https://www.np.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/pvgj0a/im_16_and_got_my_first_payday_today_oc/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) post where a American teen was showing his first earnings at 16. Why don't Indian teens work like this?

While analyzing states economy charts and data on RBI website, and found some interesting data regarding UP and its economy under the present government: **Will be taking the economic performance of this and the previous UP government for comparison **Will be taking the data of first 3 years of both governments, as 4th year (2020-2021) is an exception due to covid. And data for the 5th year (2021-2022) is yet to come 1. UTTAR PRADESH'S GDP COMPARISON (GSDP) Source: https://m.rbi.org.in/Scripts/PublicationsView.aspx?id=20006 AKHILESH GOVT: At the start of 2012 (1st year of govt): 7.2 lakh crores At the start of 2013: 8.2 lakh crores At the start of 2014: 9.4 lakh crores At the start of 2015: 10 lakh crores Difference between start to end for Akhilesh govt: 2.8 lakh crore % increase in GDP (In first 3 years): 38.8% YOGI GOVT: At the start of 2017 (1st year of govt): 12.9 lakh crores At the start of 2018: 14.6 lakh crores At the start of 2019: 16.6 lakh crores At the start of 2020: 17.9 lakh crores Difference between start to end for Yogi govt: 5 lakh crores % increase in GDP (In first 3 years): 38.8% ======================================= 2. UTTAR PRADESH'S PER CAPITA INCOME COMPARISON Source: https://m.rbi.org.in/Scripts/PublicationsView.aspx?id=20004 AKHILESH GOVT: At the start of 2012 (1st year of govt): 32k At the start of 2013: 35k At the start of 2014: 40k At the start of 2015: 42k Difference between start to end for Akhilesh govt: 10k % increase in per capita income (In first 3 years): 31.2% YOGI GOVT: At the start of 2017 (1st year of govt): 52k At the start of 2018: 58k At the start of 2019: 66k At the start of 2020: 70k Difference between start to end for Yogi govt: 18k % increase in per capita income (In first 3 years): 34.6% ======================================= 3. CONCLUSION 1. In absolute terms, the current Yogi government is the clear winner. GDP: Akhilesh govt saw a rise of 2.8 lakh crores in GDP, while Yogi govt saw a rise of 5 lakh crores (approx 80% more than prev govt) in GDP, for the first 3 years. Per Capita Income: Akhilesh govt saw a rise of 10k in per capita income, while Yogi govt saw a rise of 18k (approx 80% more than prev govt) in per capita income, for the first 3 years. 2. In percentage terms, both the governments seem to be more or less equal, with Yogi govt performing slightly better. GDP: Akhilesh govt saw a rise of 38.8% in GDP, while Yogi govt also saw a rise of 38.8% in GDP, for the first 3 years. Per Capita Income: Akhilesh govt saw a rise of 31.2% in per capita income, while Yogi govt saw a rise of 34.6% in per capita income, for the first 3 years. ========================================== EDIT 1: Before anyone points out that if inflation has been taken into account for this data, here is some more factual data. As of now, I have used GDP at current prices for the comparison. That's why for a better look at data, percentage wise comparison has also been done to take into account inflation, etc. to a majority extent. ========================================== Now lets take a look at the inflation numbers: 1. INFLATION General Inflation data by RBI (State-wise): https://m.rbi.org.in/Scripts/PublicationsView.aspx?id=20078 Couldn't find 2012 and 2013 data, but it has the last 3 years of Akhilesh govt (5.9, 4.1, 4.3), and the first 3 of Yogi govt (2.4, 3.8, 5.9). So calculating from above data - Avg inflation during Akhilesh govt: 4.76 Avg inflation during Yogi govt: 4.03 CONCLUSION: Inflation during Yogi govt is significantly lower than in the Akhilesh govt (Lower by 0.73 points). So, if inflation is factored in GDP and per capita income, the comparison figures might actually tilt more in the favour of Yogi govt due to lower inflation. Or at the best will still stay more or less the same as they are now. ========================================== EDIT 2: 2. AVERAGES Well, lets also take a 3 year average of GDP growth and per capita income increment. AVERAGES (Taking differences of each year, summing them up, then averaging the sum over 3 years): Akhilesh govt (GDP growth, 1st 3 years): 2.8/3 = 0.93 lakh crores per year Akhilesh govt (Per capita income increment, 1st 3 years): 10k/3: 3.33k per year Yogi govt (GDP growth, 1st 3 years): 5/3 = 1.66 lakh crores per year (0.73 lakh crores higher than Akhilesh govt) Yogi govt (Per capita income, 1st 3 years): 18k/3 = 6k per year (2.67k higher than Akhilesh govt) CONCLUSION: Here also, Yogi govt is the winner. One can also take % of these values too, but then too, data will point in the same direction as now.

How to get marriage certificate fastest in India. Getting married in Nov. 2021, Wanted marriage certificate faster to get the dependent visa for UK. Any suggestions?

How is it in India: Administrative devolution and decentralization of power. I'm from Lahore, and I have no idea how power is distributed in Indian administrative tiers. Here with 18th Amendment in the constitution of IR of Pakistan in 2010, the Provinces now have more power in many matters than the federal government. While local government is virtually non existent. How is it in India?

In many western countries it is legal now or being legalized. In few years there will be billion dollar industries (tourism & consumption) build around it if not already. It was a part of Indian culture at one point and if we do legalize it there would be tremendous economical opportunity. Why are we always behind the time? Are we always destined to follow social, economical & cultural progress?

Okay so this is sort of a follow up question to the previous one. My parents have straight up refused that they'll let me do MBA and instead are forcing me to do B.Pharma so I can work at my uncle's pharmacy. They're threatening to kick me out of the house and have refused to pay any fees for any college degree unless it's B.Pharma from their choice of college. Now I wanna know is it possible for them to do this? Can they get me admitted in any college of their choice and make me study their subjects of choice without my consent? Is there absolutely anything that I can do to save myself from this situation? Any help is appreciated. EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'll wanna do MBA after my graduation. I wanna be an operations manager or HR manager sometime in the future.

I come from a lower middle class family of 4. As a kid, everytime I asked for the latest toy or something I really wanted, I never got it. I always convinced myself saying 'I'll buy it when I'm older and rich'. I never belonged to or hung out with my classmates because I couldn't afford going out. Never had a gf for the same reason lol, who would want to hang out with a broke person I was never good in studies, I somehow got into a service company years ago, I do mind numbing work and I hate it. Doing masters abroad is out of the question and studying for entrance exams for M.tech is something I know I'm bad at and will be a waste of time. If I ever have kids, it just hurts to think that if my kid ever asks for a toy or something I am going to be using the same line which my dad used and my kid will grow up hating me lol.

Can a small innovative feature in Gpay or Phonepe serve the purpose..

Need not be tech. My location is Kolkata. Current skills - some basic knowledge of web dev, good English. I'm in a tier 3 college fwiw. Before you say something along the lines of "dream bigger", "learn some skills", "go for higher studies", trust me, I've given this a lot of thought. My fallback plan is a govt school teacher, but I'd rather keep that as a last resort. Thanks in advance!
