Why would you wait for dust to settle down? Just curious. Productivity gains are real in current form of LLMs. Guardrails and best practices can be learnt and self imposed.

Almost none. Even if this situation prolongs, it will only affect the bordering areas in the north. India cannot afford a war if it wants to grow as it projects itself on the international stage as an alternative to China. Pakistan cannot a

I am Indian. Not sure if this is because there are too many of us but except for part of cities these days, social connections like these are normal. I have at least a dozen neighbours, I can walk in (uninvited), have tea and gossip. And no

It’s not uncommon for Hindus from northern India to worship Sikh Gurus alongside their own deities. Similarly Sikhs often visit Hindu temples. This is generally not seen as unusual. While there have been some instances of tension between th

Maybe it's just my echo chamber but people in India seemed more pro-Trump. This is despite Kamala having Indian roots. People usually take pride when anyone with Indian ancestry doing great on the world stage.

I do drink occasionally but I can go forever without drinking. It doesn’t bother me. My relationship with smoking is different though. I smoke on occasion but I crave it for the next day or two. If someone told me smoking was healthy, I wou

Sure let’s start from your post title itself. What “authentic” source do you have that the origin of this is BJP IT cell?

Also the post has been editorialised. Sure parties have IT cells doing all kind of things to build narratives, but I am not so sure if there are basis for the inference in this case. Even if political, I personally expect better on HN.

Last I checked India was home for second largest Muslim population, and population has only been growing, more than other sections of societies in India. Sure things aren’t same for Muslims post 2014 and people should raise their voice. How

This is failure of law and order. What bothered me is how liberal media portrayed these individuals. The primary identity of individuals killed is undertrials (as you rightly mentioned) or murderers or criminals, and not lawmakers or MPs as

Recommendations is just one of the aspects. We love books as a tangible medium of knowledge, for collection, for signaling and so on. Movies in disks, comes with friction which isn’t worth IMO.

While I understand the emotion but anyone who believes that 200 million Muslims in a country are a target for genocide, is being unfair. Situation isn’t as straightforward.
