This is why I do not think much of #SubhasChandraBose

Read this thread about the brutal treatment of #Malaya #Tamils by the Japanese in building the #DeathRailway

Bose wanted to take help from the Japanese in "liberating" #India.

(1/)
Why would the Japanese ever care about "liberating" India from #British rule?

The #Japanese were imperialists. They wanted to conquer all of Asia and the Pacific.

They had already annexed #Manchuria in 1931, and everyone knew about their brutal treatment of the #Chinese.

(2/)
The Japanese followed this up with the #RapeOfNanjing in 1937. This was followed by the establishment of #Unit731 in the city of #Harbin in Northeast #China, scene of one of the most egregious #CrimesAgainstHumanity in history, carried out by the #ImperialJapaneseArmy

Insurance Policies in Native Language: Is it a must have for customer delight?
By: @rk_process9

In #India, #insurance penetration is very low. When an uninsured family member requires hospitalization, it can deplete a middle-class family’s entire savings.
1/n Image
Having a #healthinsurance policy comes as a boon in such times. Unfortunately, many individuals struggle to comprehend the benefits of these policies due to the complex #language and unclear #claim procedures.
2/n
This lack of understanding can be attributed to both the inadequate #communication of #insurance companies and the public’s difficulty in deciphering the complicated terms used in documentation.

#MoxVeda – Adding a new language to your website was never easier
By @rk_process9
I often encounter concerns from my clients and prospects about the challenges of delivering their #website and mobile #apps in multiple #languages, to be able to reach out to more #customers .
1/n Image
Many express that it takes a lot of effort, dedicated manpower, knowledge of multiple languages, a reliable #translationagency, management of #translation processes, and much more.
2/n
They find it hard to believe when I tell them that implementing #MoxVeda for #website and #app #localization can eliminate all these efforts.

We Solve Language Processing Problems For Enterprises - #straightfromtheheart by @rk_process9

#Organizations, #businesses, institutions generate a lot of #information which needs to be distributed to all concerned, in #languages that they can understand.
1/n Image
This requires #translation , not one way but both ways to establish a #communication channel. In an organization, there are often numerous information exchange touch-points, as well as information is created in many formats.
2/n
Translating all such information efficiently and timely can be a nightmare. Any delay can cause loss of a business opportunity. We therefore found it essential to enable our customers in a 360-degree way to ensure that they become truly #multilingual.

3 ನೇ ಶತಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರವಣಿಗೆಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡವನ್ನು ಒಳಪಡಿಸಿದರು ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಸರಿಯಾಗಬಹುದಾದ ಊಹೆ.

@MaryOToole10 @StaffsPLOD @BDA_Deaf @DEAFvibe @ddeaflinks @SignHealth @ActionOnHearing It's an important distinction, so let's unpack it.

To check whether #Makaton is a natural #language like English or #BritishSignLanguage, let's ask a few questions:
@MaryOToole10 @StaffsPLOD @BDA_Deaf @DEAFvibe @ddeaflinks @SignHealth @ActionOnHearing Are there any native signers of #Makaton? Is it possible for children to be born into a family that only or primarily uses Makaton to communicate in every possible scenario throughout their life?
@MaryOToole10 @StaffsPLOD @BDA_Deaf @DEAFvibe @ddeaflinks @SignHealth @ActionOnHearing Is #Makaton rich enough to express every human communication need, from education to work to philosophy to poetry? Or is it limited in its use?

Woke Biologists Claim Now Even Wild Animals Are Suffering From the Effects of Systemic Racism

One of the most diabolically clever notions the Left has ever devised in order to advance its Marxist agenda has been “systemic racism.”
It’s so useful that “experts” keep finding it in more and more places, and absurdity is no bar for how low they will go. Their audience, after all, is Leftists, who are already accustomed to swallowing absurd claims on an industrial scale

To re-imagine search. By rejecting the ad-support model, @Neeva is building a search experience that puts the user first, does not compromise on quality or privacy, and is leading a new frontier by leveraging in house large language models (LLMs) and
refined training models with its full system search stack to bring authentic real time AI search to the masses.

Information reliability, accuracy and authenticity is going to be a problem to solve in the age of #AI.
The easier content is to produce, the harder it is to know if something is right or wrong. I’m going to follow Neeva because their mission is bold and exciting.

#ThursdayTruthiness Yes indeed.. India's Independence was a collective effort.. So why is one man elevated as some god & designated "Father of the nation"? Why only he on currency notes? Will hypocrite @AmitShah answer? Or is it just worthless utterance?
Nobody is asking to "VILLIFY" Gandhi... Asking for others to get the same space DOES NOT amount to villifying Gandhi.. The Opposite of "Equal Status" is NOT the Villification of one.. #Language
