Re: Nukkad

Gurus, can anyone translate this? https://i.imgur.com/xzjBUmw.png This is from the Panchatantra. I am debating a rabid SJW desi-feminist (of the South Asian studies type), and she quoted a 19th Century translation of this phrase suggesting it was indicative of how badly women have been treated. I tr...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ HSBC is a British bank not a Chinese one Their service is excellent provided you have good business with them Sir, their capital structure is murky at best, and they might even be quitting their HQ in Bartaniya to go back to HK. https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-hsbc-britain-ipo/hsb...

Re: Nukkad

Thank you Saip saar! Any guidance on your experience with banks? Some HSBC wallah keeps calling every once in a while regarding that, but I'd rather die than hand over my money to a chicom bank. I used to bank with Kotak and Union Bank of India and was fairly satisfied with services, but perhaps the...

Re: Nukkad

Is an Aadhar card only for people staying in India? I am planning on opening an En Aar Eye account, so was wondering if it is needed. For what its worth, I no longer have any other bank accounts in India.

Re: Cricket

I am absolutely pained to see SDREs shedding tears for these White Pakis. From Slater sledging Dravid, to the Maaki incident, and the most recent tour's Dressingroom Review System incident, I detest them! This Prithviraj Syndrome of shedding tears for fallen enemies will always be our downfall.

Re: Cricket

I have never seen Sri Lankans and even Pakis supporting us in such a manner. Bhookas are widely detested it seems, and it doesn't surprise me one bit. Perpetual victimhood, along with a really misplaced sense of arrogance. When the Aussies were arrogant under Pointing, they were so because they trul...

Re: Yoga and Spirituality Thread

Fanne ji, on a pure philosophical level, I do concede that Yoga and Yogic philosophy is universal. That is not my point, however. I would love everyone to see the beauty of our philosophy, but we must guard against people who obviously hate us, using our IP against us. Christian Yoga as an example. ...

Re: Yoga and Spirituality Thread

Actually I disagree with the 'Yoga is universal' point of view. Yoga is not merely physical or the empirical, it has a deep rooted connection to the Indic civilisation. This is quite like saying Sanskrit/Panini belongs to the world. On a philosophical scale, sure, I have no problem with that - but i...

Re: Cricket

Inferior captain ? There's been a consistent characterization of Kohli as 'bad mannered' in general. Particularly ironic when the Brits or Aussies say it. 'He doesn't behave genteel like Sachin or Dravid' they say. They don't like Indians acting like Kohli does, and there's a segment of the Indian ...

Re: Creating an Indian English Dictionary

That the Oxford/Cambridge/Webster dictionary is the standard bearer is quite akin to the MCC being "the custodian of the Laws of Cricket". How we accept that nonsense is beyond me. And that is precisely why the America/Americans are where they are. They have rejected orthodoxies of the past and crea...

Re: Nukkad

I can't but help think that these people complaining about the current government, somehow deserve to have the barmaid as the ones pulling strings, and Pappu as regent. No wonder this country has been invaded and colonised for over a 1000 years. Seems like the very DNA has changed. :cry:

I woke up at 3AM EST to watch the match, and then since SA was batting thought I'd get back to sleep and wake up around 8:30 AM for the Indian innings. What a surprise to see the match over by then!

Re: Cricket

I really like both Mavi and Nagaerkoti. Nagerkoti is in fact, also one of the best fielders in the team, so much so that he was at backward point. If we can take care of these two guys, and start bringing them into the senior team within 2 years, I have high hopes. More so because these two outbowle...

You are very right - there is not one articulate spokesman in the BJP.

^^ I think there's another side to what you say. The first is of course, that like you say, these vandals think they can get away with murder because the courts are simply not doing their jobs. Another factor is that the courts are more interested in opining on the damage Sri Sri caused to the Yamun...

Dhimmitude in Hindus has set in deeply.
