I am asking out of curiosity. I have live abroad and have watched how protests/parades are carried out and even though they ask for social demands, I have not see the protesters blockading nor doing riots, nor attacking the police nor destroying property.

I have seen that the riots after the death of George Floyd were pretty violent, but the US government took control and was quite efficient. The same thing about the protests against ICE agents.

I think the Bolivian government is too lenient, and perhaps the US government would be harsh against protesters like the Bolivians ones. What do you think?

Pregunto por curiosidad, tantos años de bloqueos y violencia, siendo que la polcía y las fuerzas armadas son encargadas de cumplir y hacer cumplir las leyes, ¿no se han puesto a estudiar cómo funcionan los bloqueos? Me refiero a un estudio serio, cómo se organiza, de dónde obtienen sus suministros, qué materiales usan, a qué hora bloquean, cómo se organizan, ¿no tienen tratados ni informes de inteligencia? Tantos años ya deberían tener supongo. Que yo sepa cuando un ejército no puede derrotar a un enemigo pues empieza a reunir información de inteligencia y a estudiar cómo opera su adversario. Supongo así podrían estudiarse los bloqueos para que cuando otra vez ocurra, pues se sepa cómo desarticularlo, dónde intervenir, cortarles la comida, agua, y demás implementos de bloqueo.
Pergunto de curiosidad.

Hello. I was diagonsed with Asperger when I was 25 years old. I have some peculia interests. I like mathematics to the point I got a PhD in mathematics. I also love folding bikes. I saved my money and bought a Brompton T line bike (5600 USD titanium folding bike). And I am obssesed giving my bike service and maintenance. Currently I am saving to modify my Brompton with niche premium components from Cane Creek. Not many in my family know I have aspergers. Just my mother. Most of my family look at me as exentric, and sometimes crazy. They don't know nothing about my bike. I have no friends.

What are your interests? What do family members think of you?

Hello. I tried to post in other Indian forums but I have not enough comment karma. I have a question about arrange marriage. I am 29 years old from a Spanish speaking country in South America. I was appointed to as a research professorship in University in India, so I am here about a year after a postdoc.

It happens that I saw a very beautiful Indian woman, call her Priya, in the gym. She is 33 years old. I know her for about 6 months and just said hello to her. One day, I told one of my colleagues at the gym "see that girl, she is so beautiful, I would marry and make her love every day. She is so hot."

Then, about three days later, I was contacted by phone by Mr Arvind, Priya's father, saying he wanted to meet me at a Café. I was nervous, I was afraid he was going to warn me not to be a pervert or something like that and not talk to his daughter. But he first introduced himself, and we talked about many things where he asked me about my job, my income (which was uncomfortable) and where I was living. Then he told me he had heard my interest in his daughter and he asked if I was serious about marrying her. I was shocked by I instinctively replied yes and asked if it was an arrange marriage, which he told me yes. He also asked me whether I mind she is divorced. Her marriage ended after 5 years of not getting pregnant. Mr Arvind told me he does not know if it is Priya or her ex-husband the one with problems. Priya gets sad about the topic. I told Mr Arvind I wanted to have a date with Priya and get to know her. Mr Arvind told me Priya is a surgeon and works in a public hospital.  

A week later, I had a date with Priya, I was nervous. I do not know up to now if she knows my comment about me wanting to make love to her. But Priya was really nice. We talked a lot about history, hobbies and our jobs. I really like her, not only physically, but also, she is nice to be around. She is also vegetarian like me and told me one day she will cook for me pani puri which is my favorite Indian dish.

Sorry for the long intro. But my question is, did my colleague tell Mr Arvin, Priya’s father that I desire her? Why was Mr Arvind so fast making a marriage offer? Does Priya know I desire her? For me, in my culture, saying “I like that woman, I want to make love to her” as we say among friends is very rare. But here in India, after three days of expressing my wish, I have the opportunity to marry that woman and make her love. It is like getting the lottery for me. I really desire her, and honestly, I want to wake up every day and be with her. I really feel comfortable around Priya, and I do no mind if there are any fertility issues with her. In fact, I do not want her to feel uncomfortable and I have not asked. I want she is the one that brings that topic.

Does this marriage offer came that fast because she is divorced? How difficult is it for divorced Indian woman to get marry? I also know there is a dowry that the bride’s family pays to the groom, but for me, she is a great prize/treasure, even so that I would pay Mr. Arvind for her daughter. So, if Mr Arvind tells me something, how do I decline/refuse politely?

But here comes more of my questions. I talked about marriage with Priya’s father, but not yet with her. When should I bring the topic to her? How to make her feel more comfortable?

What advice or recommendation do you have for me? How long should I wait to marry her? Honestly, I would marry her today to make her love, but I want her to feel safe, loved and comfortable. I do not want her to marry me because her parents are pressuring help.

Any comment of advice is welcome. Thank you so much for reading my post.
