Man anybody colored putting down the subcontinent and its culture, whatever it is, is just hurting himself. Trump ka ulla coming online soon and he's just goin fukkin make life hard for the colored people living out west.

Our community needs to get a reality check, and whoever so gotta leave, should leave ASAP, specially if they've got immigration or naturalization dramay goin on.

I'm warning everybody here. Trump will bring in his neo-nazis into the foray and there will be no mercy over the next 4 years for the colored migrants. And the EU toady will follow suit.

It is what it is, whether yous muzlim or not.........if yous colored bhai, good luck.

Dekho, hum toh desi hai.. Trump shump se koi lena dena nahi much, as such.

btw, un angrejon ne theek bola, jab hai gandgi apne deshon me, to hai..

My great hope is that being shamed for it may trigger some to actually bother about it and not trash it. Basic civic duty, don't throw your mess and make it a slum.. I comply and do not throw kachra everywhere.

Nepal map on currency note stirs up border row with India
10 May 2024, 12:00 am
AFP :

The boundary dispute between India and Nepal has heated up once again after the Nepali government last week announced a new currency note featuring a map that shows three border areas claimed by New Delhi.

The dispute involves the territories of Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura, which are currently under Indian control.

The new map adds 335 square kilometres of land to Nepal, and the country's central bank is expected to take up to a year to print and issue the new note.

India's Foreign Minister S Jaishankar slammed Nepal's decision, saying it will not change the reality on the ground.

"Our position is very clear. With Nepal, we are having discussions about our boundary matters through an established platform. In the middle of that, they unilaterally took some measures on their side," Jaishankar told media persons.

"But by doing something on their side, they are not going to change the situation between us or the reality on the ground," he added. The boundary dispute between the two countries began to escalate after New Delhi issued a political map in November 2019 that placed the contested area within India's territory.

Relations became more strained when India inaugurated an 80-kilometer-long roadway that passes through Lipulekh, a disputed area that lies at the strategic Nepal-India-China tri-junction.

The unilaterally built motorway links India's Uttarakhand state to Tibet's Kailash Mansarovar via the Lipulekh Pass, a territory historically claimed by Nepal and considered one of the shortest and most practicable trade routes between India and China.

The small Himalayan nation challenged India's inauguration of the road by publishing a new map showing the contested areas – including the areas of Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura – as lying inside Nepal's borders.

Nepal, which was never under colonial rule, has long claimed these areas in accordance with the 1816 Sugauli treaty with the British Raj following the Anglo-Nepalese (Gurkha) War.

The treaty recognized the Kali River as Nepal's western boundary with India and the land lying east of the river is Nepalese territory. However, these areas have been under India's administrative control since the early 1960s.​

Nepal and India are brothers. This is a fight in family. When you have so much love for each other, no problem is difficult to resolve.

We have a moderately good relationship with some ups and downs. The main reason why it did not turn into all whether friendship is those radical Ayatollahs who are dysfunctional. They have a narrow and short vision of any relations, and they do some cheap gimmick in between. Not only they have not very good relations with India but they do not have very good relations with any neighbors. Our Pakistani friends here were hyping Iran and their mediocre missiles here and meanwhile Iran Bombed Pakistan.

Manmohan Singh, the former Indian prime minister whose economic reforms made his country a global powerhouse, has passed away in New Delhi last night. He was 92.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi confirmed Singh's death, posting on X that India "mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders."

Singh was taken to a hospital in New Delhi after he lost consciousness at his home yesterday evening, but could not be resuscitated and was pronounced dead at 9:51pm local time, according to a statement by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

Singh, who was twice prime minister in the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government from 2004 to 2014, has been in indifferent health for the last few months.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and her mother Sonia Gandhi reached the hospital soon after the news of Singh's hospitalisation broke.

Singh, who was the finance minister under the then prime minister PV Narasimha Rao, was the architect and the brainchild of economic reforms in 1991 that pulled India from the brink of bankruptcy and ushered in an era of economic liberalisation that is widely believed to have changed the course of India's economic trajectory.

Singh is credited with having overseen an economic boom in Asia's fourth-largest economy in his first term, although slowing growth in later years marred his second stint.

Born in 1932 in the mud-house village of Gah in what is now Pakistan, Singh studied economics to find a way to eradicate poverty in the vast nation and never held elected office before taking the nation's highest office.

His life was a testament to service, scholarship and leadership.

He earned a Master's degree in Economics from Panjab University, Chandigarh, and obtained a doctorate from the University of Oxford.

Singh's village, where he was born, lacked a school, healthcare, and electricity, forcing him to walk miles to an Urdu-medium school and study by kerosene lamp at night.

He attributed his rise to the "system of scholarships" for poor students that existed at the time.

Singh worked in a string of senior civil posts, served as a central bank governor and also held various jobs with global agencies such as the United Nations.

Amid one of the worst financial crisis in India's modern history, Congress PM Narasimha Rao appointed his as finance minister to pull the country back from the brink. And he did exactly that.

Later, in his first term as PM, Singh steered the economy through a period of nine-percent growth, lending the country the international clout it had long sought.

He also sealed a landmark nuclear deal with the US that he said would help India meet its growing energy needs.

Known as "Mr Clean", Singh nonetheless saw his image tarnished during his decade-long tenure when a series of corruption cases became public.

Several months before the 2014 elections, Singh said he would retire after the polls, with Sonia Gandhi's son Rahul earmarked to take his place if Congress won.

But Congress crashed to its worst-ever result at that time as the Bharatiya Janata Party, led by Modi, won a landslide.

Singh -- who said historians would be kinder to him than contemporary detractors -- became a vocal critic of Modi's economic policies, and more recently warned about the risks that rising communal tensions posed to India's democracy.

Singh paid an official visit to Dhaka in September 2011, a trip that was overshadowed by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's opting out of it at the eleventh hour opposing the Teesta river water-sharing accord which, as a result, could not be signed.

Singh contested Lok Sabha elections only once from the South Delhi constituency in 1999 and suffered defeat. After that, he never again ran for the Lok Sabha poll.

However, Singh has been a member of the Rajya Sabha since 1991, where he was the Leader of the Opposition between 1998 and 2004.

In April this year, he retired from Rajya Sabha, the upper House of parliament.​
