Whenever I see people crying over the shutdown of USAid or any associated organisations, I think about this quote from Indian housing activist P. K. Das in his Manifesto of a Housing Activist*. While talking specifically about the role of slum-oriented NGOs active in the Indian city of Mumbai, it applies just as well for any of the "better" (i.e. not outright CIA espionage operations or money laundering schemes) Imperial Core charity organisations. Groups that, in their self-righteous quest to alleviate poverty in the Imperial Periphery, ultimately serve as soft power for the Imperialist nations that create this poverty in the first place:
Their constant effort is to subvert, dis-inform and de-idealize people so as to keep them away from class struggles. They adopt and propagate the practice of begging favours on sympathetic and humane grounds rather than making the oppressed conscious of their rights. As a matter of fact these agencies and organizations systematically intervene to oppose the agitational path people take to win their demands. Their effort is constantly to divert people's attention from the larger political evils of imperialism to merely local issues and so confuse people in differentiating enemies from friends.

Conquering casteism with the power of gay sex
like in theory i understand why people are into platonic yandere but in practice..a lot of writers just basically write it like a reverse harem, especially when it comes to batfam.
i broke him a bit...
im actually so done
I keep forgetting that normal people don’t feel slightly uncomfortable at all times, and they can just go about their day without sparing a single thought on how their body is feeling. One of my first thoughts, when seeing people having fun outside, is always ”how are they not in unbearable dicomfort rn?” until I realize that oh yeah I’m chronically ill and most people aren’t bedridden lmao

A 2017 CSDS-Lokniti report found that higher education levels in India correlate with stronger right-wing authoritarian views. Educated individuals showed the highest support for punitive actions on divisive issues like beef consumption and religious conversions, with many endorsing mob violence, dictatorship, and the suppression of free speech – stances less common among the less educated.

After the previous general election, in 2019, Lokniti-CSDS, a pollster, found that around 42% of Indians with a degree supported Mr Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), while around 35% of those with only a primary-school education did. Polls conducted after state elections in 2023, such as in Karnataka, confirm the trend. Similarly Pew’s latest survey, from last year, shows that 60% of university-educated Indians have a very favourable opinion of Mr Modi, compared with 55% of those who do not have a degree. [x]
would it be very surprising to know hindu scripture prohibits lower caste education?
