People may vote based on family trees at the local level, but caste politics is not rooted that deeply in the Pahad.

Dhami is a Rajput. Many hate him, many support him it’s their personal choice. But no one curses him by using his caste, and no one supports him based on his caste. Whether the CM comes from Garhwal or Kumaon, whether he is a Brahmin, Jajman, from an ethnically tribal group, or from any other caste, no one is going to blame his caste based on his performance.

Now look at the surrounding mainland North India. In Uttar Pradesh, people target Yogi Adityanath and his caste. Yadavs have a different party, Nishads have a different party, Dalits have a different party everything is about caste politics there. If Akhilesh Yadav becomes CM, he is going to work for people of his caste; if a Bahujan Dalit becomes CM, he is going to favour only his caste.

Now look at the other neighbour, Haryana. What Chautala did in his time was win by playing the caste card, and in return he favoured Jats in government jobs and other businesses. Till the last election, even people who hate the BJP united against the Jat CM face of Congress and INLD, and it became a 35 vs 1 biradari contest.

Look at Punjab politics the major players are Dalits and Jatts. Congress made Channi (a Dalit) the CM, and the entire Jatt population united and made AAP, a relatively new party in Punjab, win by a majority.

Look at Rajasthan the same Brahmin, Rajput and Jat tussle for the kursi.

We all know Bihar politics despite having all the fertile land and a large population, caste politics has literally killed the state and resulted in the flight of industries from there.

And it is ironic that these mainlanders are the ones who shout “bhaichara, bhaichara” all the time… until it is time for voting. The phrase " Those who make the loudest noise often are the ones that are often emptiest" fits completely here

I believe we should channelize our unity, and vote for those who talk about the real issues of Uttarakhand our language, our culture, education system, healthcare, jobs, the maryada of our mandirs (and not treat them like picnic spots), who promote bagwani and other initiatives in the Pahad, who address the monkey problem and the nasha problem and vote for the development of the Pahad rather than kashmir, pakistan, 370, didi-bhulyo 😷, political hinduism, rafael etc.

It should be the 36 biradari of the Pahad versus outsiders, land mafia, and Bangladeshis, criminal gangs of west up and haryana operating in ddn, haridwar etc

every time I open this Reddit app, the only posts that come into my feed are things like:

“I am 5'6, will a girl date me?”

“I am the dusky, will a guy ever love me?”

“Is money above love? My gf left me for someone in an arranged marriage who earns more than me”

“My crush left me for a better-looking girl his parents chose.”

Women always seek someone who is doing better than them on all fronts.And men literally chase beauty every time

It is only recently that we have developed the habit of applying the equality thing at an ultra pro max level to every aspect of our world. We have literally started shaming people by saying things like:  

“You yourself are dark, how can you have a preference for a fair partner?”

“You yourself are not earning much, how can you have a preference for someone rich?”

“You yourself live in a rented house, how can you have a preference for someone who owns a house and lives separately from his parents?”

 “You yourself are not a bhirgin, how can you prefer a bhirgin?”

“You yourself are 5'2, how can you prefer guys who are 5'11–6'0++?”

I mean, people think they have some sort of authority to balance out the world, and those who don’t follow their equality rules are going to be punished by being shamed publicly. I mean, when these people are going to grow up, God knows.

So I was watching his interview on Raj Shamani’s podcast. He said that data never lies and that he solely believes in data what people are actually looking for rather than what they claim.

Almost all male profiles, when opened by women, are first checked for the salary and package section. On the men’s side, they first look at the girl’s pictures and then check her education and job details.

I mean, if someone is still blind enough and believes what others say that looks, skin colour, beauty, and money don’t matter then that person is naive. People simply lying because they don’t want to be judged for their preferences. We Indians are the best at judging others for their preferences and then shaming them. That’s why most people lie when asked, just to appear neutral and save their energy.

If someone is not good-looking but, because of his package, he is getting good-looking matches, he is definitely going to pick them. And if a girl is getting a guy who earns 2x or 3x what she earns, and if she is going to pick him, she will definitely pick him.

Only if we stop judging others for their preferences and start respecting individuality will people perhaps start telling the truth about what they are looking for in a guy or a woman. Till then no same person gonna tell you what he/she is looking for
