Given that tomorrow is India's Independence day i was wondering if anyone knows of any good period dramas about Indian Freedom Fighters.

So far the only ones I'm familiar with are RRR, Gandhi, and Mangal Pandey the Rising.

Note: Preferably nothing about Subhas Chandra Bose and the INA, since they are also infamous for working with the Axis powers.

So I know that Polynesian culture is popular with some Mormons due to their belief that they are one of the lost tribes of Israel.

But what was the appeal of Mormonism to Polynesians? Why were so many Polynesians willing to convert to Mormonism?

So in the YMMV page of Sons of Mogh someone believed it would have been interesting if Sisko and Kurn had interacted with each other since Sisko was also in a rough place.

And that got me thinking if Kurn had stayed aboard the station a bit longer, how would he get along with the other characters on the station?

More specifically how would he get along with his fellow exiles Kor the Dahar master and Garak the former Obsidian order spy?

I have been reading Dawn of the Eagles and I have been thinking what if Odo was recruited by the Obsidian Order? I know this is a controversial question to ask but what if after his investigation into Vaatrik was over, Odo received a proposition from Tain or another member of the Obsidian Order. In this scenario the Order caught wind of Odo’s talents and they have decided to recruit him as an agent. Again I know this is an odd question but given that Odo’s abilities could have made him a valuable asset to anyone he worked for it only makes sense in-context for the Order to try and recruit Odo. Tain himself once said that Odo would have made a good operative.

Now I know that some people are going to argue that Odo is too sympathetic of the Bajorans to side with the Order but honestly I think he was only like that because of Kira Nerys influence. So let’s say that he never falls for Nerys and he joins the Order.

I could see him working for the Order in one of two ways:

1. He becomes Chief of Security on the station only this time he is an undercover operative sent to an eye out for resistance activity and to keep an eye on Dukat who was a notorious opponent of the Order.

2. He becomes a covert operative assigned to infiltrate, spy, and eliminate threats to Cardassia and the Order’s interests.

How would events on Bajor, Deep Space Nine, and in the series play out differently? For example if he is still Chief of Security in Dawn of the Eagles, >!Kira asks Odo to run interference so the resistance can shut down the detection grid. Would he agree to do so or would he stop them?!< Or if Cardassia still has to withdraw from Bajor but planned to come back by using the Circle conspiracy to drive out the Federation and re-annex Bajor, would Odo assist them in their plot? If so how?

So from my understanding Henry Ford founded Fordlandia in Brazil because he wanted to have his own supply of rubber to make tires. Here's what I don't get though, Ford was also close friends with Harvey S. Firestone owner of the biggest tire manufacturer in the USA. Why did Ford want to have his own supply of rubber when his company already had an arrangement with Firestone?

So I know that in the interwar period Ireland had just won their independence from England and their economy was still pretty rural. In addition they were still dependent on importing food to survive . So why didn’t they pursue closer ties with the USA and vice versa? I mean if you think about it this could have been a very profitable deal for both sides. Ireland would benefit from much needed investment from the USA. The US would have a new market to sell their products to, especially in revolutionary new foodstuffs like Hershey’s chocolate bars and syrup, Reese’s cups, Skippy’s peanut butter, Kraft’s cheese, Spam, Oscar Mayer’s Bacon, fortified cereals like Kix and Shredded Wheat, Campbell Soups, Heinz Baked Beans, and sliced bread.

So how come closer economic and trade ties between the two never came to fruition?

So in my post last week, a lot of people said that the reason the Terran Worlds still sided with the Dominion over the UED in the Brood War was because they saw Mengsk as the lesser of two evils.

But what if the UED or their allies the Kel-Morian Combine discovered the Confederate Adjutant on Tarsonis during their salvage operation for the Psi disruptor. And they revealed Mengsk was responsible for the fall of the Tarsonis throughout the Terran worlds? Would this turn Mengsk and the Dominion into a pariah? And how would this affect the Brood war?
