Indians Not Allowed
Thank you for this @arjunxxyyz . Can anyone else confirm this or similar discriminatory practices in #Kasol? @IsraelinIndia @press96470 I would appreciate your comment, if you have any. My interest in this matter stems from discovering, some years ago, that #RussianRestaurants and other establishments around #AnjunaBeach in Goa were not allowing entry to Indians.

It’s a Jewish restaurant in which Indians are not allowed

Economic Reforms = Contraception
This aligns with other data from, for example, the National Family Health Surveys, which have documented a steady decline in India’s Total Fertility Rate (#TFR) over the past decade.
2. I believe that the most immediate factor responsible for the declining #IndianTFR has been the #Contraception provided by (my coinage) #Aspirational_Consumption: the Desire for the Good Life.
3. In the Age of Information, every household, regardless of class or region, is now aware of the goods and services that are available to make life more comfortable. Faced by the dilemma of having to match the family’s economic resources with its aspirations, the choice is clear: 2-wheeler, yes; A/C, yes; kid, no.
4. The change in social norms catalysed by galloping urbanisation, whether it be slums or high-rises, is seeping into the rural hinterland. For example, the age-old Indian equation, ‘more children equal more security,’ is fading in the South (Tamil Nadu, Kerala) and the more advanced northern states.
5. PM Rao’s and FM Manmohan Singh’s 1991 Economic Reforms provided the best contraception for Family Planning in India. Far, far more effective than the Indian Government's 1967 family planning slogan, "Hum do, Hamare Do" (We two, Our Two). 6. Incidentally, the #HindutvaCaste lobby is calling for birthing more Hindu kids because Indian TFR below the 2.1 replacement level will make the country’s approximately 1 billion Hindus more “vulnerable” to the "faster growth" of 240 million Muslims! Go figure.

Such hypocrisy matches the behaviour of @narendramodi 's #HindutvaCaste (right wing) immigrants into the West, who vituprously call for throwing out "illegal" immigrants from India. This, despite some having been in India for years, if not for a generation or two.
Also, their calls for coercive measures against long, long resident minorities in India, particularly Muslims, are often laced with expectations that this will force them to emigrate back to their "natural countries".

Polish immigrants in America voting for far-right scum in Poland, hating the EU, hating immigrants, while living as immigrants in a foreign country.
That’s not just hypocrisy. That’s the Immigrant Hyparadox in its final form. You fled your country, benefit from being foreign here, and now want to deport immigrants over there? You’re not patriots. You’re a parasites screaming NAZionalism in English, with a Polish accent that sounds like a Ursus tractor.

Dr B R #Ambedkar at Columbia University, 1916, got it right (as usual): “Hindu society as such does not exist. It is only a collection of castes. Each caste is conscious of its existence. Its survival is the be-all and end-all of its existence. Castes do not even form a federation. A caste has no feeling that it is affiliated to other castes, except when there is a Hindu-Muslim riot. On all other occasions, each caste endeavours to segregate itself and to distinguish itself from other castes.” Of course, the irony is that the Caste system is one common denominator in the Hindu way of life throughout the Indian peninsular mainland. The #HindutvaCaste zealots have only a perverted understanding of #Hinduism, its essence described in the #SongoftheHindu:

One notable analogy: Many adherents of Hinduism complain today that @narendramodi 's #HindutvaCaste's religious and political ideology is destroying Hinduism. Incidentally, it is no accident that so many of the #HindutvaCaste right wing pursuasion readily identify with Ashkenazi @netanyahu 's genocidic policies in Gaza.

I have to qualify my Jewishness now by saying I am an anti-Zionist. Zionism has destroyed Judaism.

CQ_India: The #HinduMind is utterly enchanted and bewitched by
rituals however meaningless they might be. For it, a person's value lies in his
observing a ritual, not what he might or might not do for humanity in
another public or private context. India will remain a 4th World country as
long as it remains mired in style not substance, in form not action.

Again and again, the #HindutvaCaste mob mixes blurs the line between
State and Religion. It is the perfect concoction to undermine the
Constitution of the Republic of India.

Rakesh Ahuja @DwnlodingMyMind · Mar 20, 2025

So right. The #HindutvaCaste's readily appropriates an Indian-origin foreign citizen if it fits its purpose, but ignores or accuses him as antinational if he is critical of the #Hindutva ideology and practices. Indian media are equally guilty. For example, #Dhankar, a BJP functionary in Australia and a convicted (40 years) serial rapist, was widely described only as a "person of Indian origin". The BJP propaganda machine - @amitmalviya @MrSinha_ etc. - ignored him totally despite @narendramodi 's accolades to him in 2014. No one, not even Indian representatives here, expressed regret to the victims.

This is so so like #HindutvaCaste Indian Ministers tweeting sycophantically about this or that action by @narendramodi .

Thank you @POTUS for standing up for America in a way that no President has ever had the courage to do before. Thank you for putting America First. America is with you!

Four "thank you[s]" presumably to counter Vance's accusation that he has not thanked the United States. Sarcasm intended, I think.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa · Mar 1

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people. Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.
