Before and after, yet they still refuse to paint the wall, install fencing, or take any measures to secure the area and prevent further garbage dumping.

A month of complaints, follow-ups, and visits to government offices and this is all that has changed. The garbage may have been cleared once, but no preventive measures have been taken. The authorities still refuse to paint the wall, install fencing, or secure the area to stop people from dumping waste again. Without a permanent solution, the same cycle continues. How many more complaints does it take to fix a problem permanently instead of treating the symptoms?

Iranians in the comments: Proudly praising their country. Indians in the comments: Competing to tear theirs down.

Same video format, different reactions. People are appreciating their country and talking about visiting it. On the other hand, top comments are about corruption, brainwashing, and mocking the country. Criticism has its place, but the contrast in mindset is hard to ignore. Constructive criticism builds nations; constant self-loathing doesn't.

Do political interests in sugar mills play a role in the broad support for ethanol blending?

I've noticed that many sugar mills have direct or indirect political connections. Given that ethanol blending benefits the sugar industry, could this be one reason why there is relatively little political opposition to the policy? Interested in hearing different perspectives and any data that supports or contradicts this view

But when we Kannadigas politely ask people to use or respect Kannada in Karnataka, it suddenly becomes a problem? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Funny how a "Japanese language only" sign in Japan is often defended as preserving local culture and avoiding communication issues. But when Kannadigas politely ask people to learn or use some Kannada in Karnataka, it's suddenly called regionalism or intolerance. Respecting the local language shouldn't be controversial. A little effort goes a long way.
