Many liberals are amazed that people believe the obvious lies that the Modi government puts out about China. There's a clear inconsistency between Modi saying that China didn't take any territory and army commanders regularly meeting their Chinese counterparts to negotiate.

They're practically begging the Chinese to leave, and the Chinese are refusing. If that were not the case, there would be no need to talk.
Also, the #Indian #Military position MUST BE WEAK, otherwise we would have kicked out the #Chinese. We simply cannot.

So why isn't the Indian public angry with #Modi?
For the same reason they were not angry with #Nehru in 1962.
#Heroworship.
Indians have a tendency to place their heroes on a pedestal and worship them. As long as they are on that pedestal, they can do no wrong.

There's no news of #Modi's visit to the #US when you turn on #CNN on TV in India.
So I looked up #NBC online.
I had to scroll past 11 screens to find any news of Modi's visit.
#XiJinping, on the other hand, was on the first screen.
These are the first six screens.

In 2022, raising concerns about the rapidly deteriorating human rights situation in India, Representative @IlhanMN asked: “What will it take for us to outwardly criticize the actions that the Modi administration is taking?”
Certainly, no one could imagine Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, China’s Xi Jinping, or Russia’s Vladimir Putin being so feted and honored by the US government.

The rationale for the "rationalisation" of content is that the same subjects are covered in a higher class.
So evolution is covered in XII standard biology, and the periodic table in XII standard chemistry. So why teach it in Xth?

The problem with this logic is that, in India, students opt for different "streams" after the Xth standard (class X) board exam.
Some opt for science, some for commerce, some for arts.
Non-science stream students will NEVER encounter evolution or the periodic table again.

Uthiramerur (TamilNadu) is a model of Democracy! Uthiramerur is situated in Kancheepuram District, about 90 kms from Chennai. It has a 1,250-year old history! There are three important Temples. The three Temples have a large number of inscriptions, notably those from the reigns
of Raja Raja Chola (985-1014 CE.) his son Rajendra Chola, and the Vijayanagar Emperor Krishnadeva Raya! During the period of Parantaka Chola [907-955 CE.] the village administration was honed into a perfect system, through elections by the people! In fact, inscriptions on
