We all are subjects in this country, not citizens

Being a citizen means having rights, living a civil and humane life.

We don't do that. We don't live that way. We don't behave that way.

How are we a subject? Subject is just a civilized term for slave. A person who has no rights, no respect, no place in the system.

I'm not going to talk about why we are this way. Everyone talks about it, everyone has their views. All of them are correct.

You know why this will NEVER change? Because the people who are enlightened enough to realize this, who are good, honest and most importantly, have HUMAN VALUES will never be on the other side of the curtain.

The good people can never seize power, do good things and change the system ENTIRELY . They will only keep on blabbering behind closed doors.

A common man on street does not want to change the way neta,IAS,IPS show "bhaukaal" on common man. He does not want to stop corruption. He does not want equal law for everyone.

He wants to have a share of it. He aspires to be on the other side of this curtain. He has no concept of rights and equality. He has seen the life of a slave. He wants to be the master....not to free everyone....but to enslave the rest. And this cycle never breaks...

I'm a girl in my early 20s in india just like every one I have my dreams and goals to chase but i know my parents or relatives will never support my dreams nor do I expect them to, but there's this one uncle who's like the head of our family, everytime he visits me the first thing he asks is why I'm not wearing any jewels..I was tired of telling him I'd love to when I feel like it or when i go outside but he insists on forcing his outdated tradition that girls should wear jewels at home atleast a little stud, I'm not against wearing it but the need for others to micromanage even this silly thing does not sit right with me.. And when I try to talk to my parents about it my mom took stand for my uncle and defended him saying he was right that wearing jewels brings out the beauty, my uncle is old and innocent he cares for me and she blamed herself that she's responsible for me becoming "like this" and her upbringing is not good, it's not even about the jewels but about control, manipulation and micromanaging my life ...

Original Title: Some signs/sounds of the Brahmi/Tamili script seem to be visually "similar" to some Indus signs and semantically/phonetically "similar" to some reconstructed proto-Dravidian words/sounds, but maybe we'll never know whether these "similarities" are "real"

What's going on with some tourists from Delhi when they visit Goa? I've been noticing a disturbing trend where a lot of them seem to act like they can get away with anything, as if there are no consequences for their behavior. It's as if they bring this mentality with them, thinking that "what happens in Goa stays in Goa" and they can behave without any regard for local culture, laws, or people.

Why do some North Indians have this sense of entitlement when they visit other places? This "Goa me sab kuch chalta hai" attitude isn't new but it's getting more concerning each day, especially from North Indians. A lot of this includes driving on wrong side, dangerously overtaking, impatiently honking, littering the place & disrespecting the locals. What can be done to change this sense of entitlement and act like decent, civilised people?

This isn't just about someone's mother, someone's wife, someone's sister and someone's daughter being killed, it's about a bigger issue that needs to be addressed and rectified. This guy was just 23 years old.

I was in Bandra East when the '92 riots broke out. I saw the Nalla flowing red with blood—literally. People went missing overnight, families were torn apart, and the cops? They were outnumbered, outmaneuvered, and completely unprepared for the sheer scale of destruction. The city was burning, and law enforcement had no real control.

Even now, 30 years later, the memories send a chill down my spine. The screams, the smell of smoke and blood, the absolute terror of stepping outside, knowing you might not return. We learned survival the hard way—trust no one, always have an exit plan, read a room for danger before you even enter it.

Back then, self-security wasn’t a luxury; it was the only way to stay alive. Roads were blocked with burning tyres, people armed themselves with stones, bricks, glass bottles, and sticks. We camped on terraces, the big men of the neighborhood standing guard on rooftops, ready for whatever was coming next. Every noise in the distance could mean another attack, another loss. And rumors? They spread like wildfire—sometimes they saved lives, sometimes they caused even more destruction.

And yet, here we are in 2025, with an entire generation that has no connection to what happened. They cry about WiFi being slow, get "traumatized" by a mean comment online, and think survival means remembering their food delivery app password. They live in bubbles, terrified of confrontation, unable to handle a tough conversation—let alone actual survival. If the world collapsed tomorrow, most wouldn’t last a week.

This isn't a "back in my day" rant. It’s just wild to me that privilege blinds people to how fragile society really is. One spark, and the so-called "civilized world" turns into anarchy. I've seen it happen.

Maybe it’s a good thing that the new generation doesn’t have these memories. But sometimes, I wonder—if they had even a fraction of the fear we lived through, would they finally come out of their shells and learn how to actually survive?

I came here because I found some absurd things. Listen, I have no intention of arguing. You can choose not to believe it. I also welcome any discussion based on evidence.

I recently saw a report: India tops world ranking in digital payments, beats China by huge margin: Report

The article claims that India ranks #1, Brazil ranks #2, followed by China, and Thailand ranks #4. You can see that number between China and Thailand is very close. 😅

What I want to say

Any article claiming that India has the most digital payments in the world actually talks about real-time payments / RTP. You can search and verify.

But RTP in China only account for 1% of digital payments. China's RTP system IBPS is the same as IMPS (the predecessor of UPI). It does not process with transactions of Alipay and WeChat pay. Read more: Understanding Real-Time Payments: The Complete Guide

More than 70% of Alipay and WeChat pay transactions were processed bywere processed by the NetsUnion clearing platform, more than 1 trillion transactions last year. Read more: Payment System Report

Let’s cut the crap. We love blaming politicians, the system, or even “Western influence,” but here’s the harsh reality: India’s biggest problem is its own people. Yeah, I said it. If that offends you, maybe it’s because it hits too close to home. Ready for some uncomfortable truths?

1. We’re All Corrupt Hypocrites ===============================

We bribe traffic cops, pay under-the-table fees, and dodge taxes—but we cry about corruption in politics. You can’t complain about dirty hands when yours are covered in mud.

2. Fake Morality and Double Standards =====================================

We scream about “Indian values” but have the highest rates of domestic violence, rape, and dowry deaths. Our so-called culture is rotten with hypocrisy.

3. Education = Memorization, Not Intelligence =============================================

Our education system is a joke. Memorize, regurgitate, forget—repeat. No creativity, no critical thinking. We produce degrees, not minds.

4. Log Kya Kahenge: The Real Dream Killer =========================================

This toxic mentality is responsible for countless broken dreams and mental health issues. We care more about societal approval than happiness. What a sad way to live.

5. ‘Patriotism’ = Blind Nationalism ===================================

We mistake blind loyalty for patriotism. If someone criticizes the country, they’re “anti-national.” Loving your country means wanting it to improve, not worshipping it blindly.

6. Religion: Dividing More Than It Unites =========================================

Religion here isn’t about faith—it’s about identity, superiority, and moral policing. We kill in the name of gods we don’t even truly understand.

7. Casteism: The Stain We Pretend Doesn’t Exist ===============================================

We claim to be modern but still judge people by their caste, even on dating apps. Newsflash: If you believe in caste, you’re part of the problem.

8. Victim Mentality and Excuse Culture ======================================

We love to complain but hate taking responsibility. Blame the government, the West, society, fate—everyone except ourselves.

9. No Civic Sense, No Shame ===========================

We spit, litter, and piss on roads without a second thought. We treat our public spaces like garbage bins. And then we cry about pollution and bad infrastructure.

10. Misogyny Is in Our DNA ==========================

We say we respect women but slut-shame, victim-blame, and objectify them every chance we get. Your “Indian culture” isn’t as pure as you think.
