Fellow Indians, please help out a beginner socialist on how to read up on our history/politics!

i will try to keep this short and succint. i am disgusted by the state of our country, particularly as i'm watching my home state burn because of the government's negligence. i was also asking a friend if there's any media house/outlet that can actually be trusted nowadays, and she said there are none.

i think our news pieces, policies, social media posts, and even daily conversations are being obscured by so much propoganda that nothing can or should be taken at face value. i want to learn how to engage more critically with whatever i'm seeing around me.

therefore please guide me on how to be able to see "truth" or subtext. what reliable sources can i use to learn about our country's political history? (books, documentaries, posts, etc). i want to be able to understand topics like electoral politics and why there is no such thing as genuine elections anymore in our country, for instance.

please be kind, as i am genuinely trying to understand this better! and if this is the wrong subreddit, please direct me to the correct one. i'll reroute right away. Thank you very much!

Any non-STEM people here working in environment/wildlife conservation and similar fields? Seeking advice

I am graduating with a Master's in Public Policy. I wanted to get a idea of how people are in the environment sector (particularly biodiversity and wildlife) and how you came about working there. I understand the path can be very non-linear and unconventional for the most part. I'm currently in the middle of my job search and any anecdotes or words of advice would be extremely helpful. Thank you!

Anyone with a public policy background who has given UGC-NET? Struggling with what subject to choose

Have you chosen your subject based on your bachelor's specialisation? myquals: Bachelor's in English lit. Finishing my master's in public policy this may. Just wanted to know if there is anyone who has given the paper in a discipline other than your bachelor's

i'm graduating in a month. i have started, and will continue lookng for work. at the end of the day, it comes down to me getting a move on and throwing myself into the workforce. however, as someone who's never worked, what kind of advice would you have for how to deal with the anxiety during the job search and during those (hopefully few) months where i'll officially be unemployed.

the source of my anxiety isn't the job search itself, as it's "either i get the job or i don't". i think i'm stressed about the salary negotiations, office interactions, and all those other nuances that can make or break a work environment...

it'd be a great comfort if anyone who has (or hasn't) been in the same boat could offer some sound advice...I would ask my family but i'm a public policy graduate and they're all in the medical field so there's very little overlap in our fields.

thank you all. please be kind, and believe that i am trying my best :,)

TLDR: Drank a lot two nights ago. Still slightly nauseous all the time, but nothing comes out when i try to vomit. Please advise, and has anyone else experienced this?

context: i'm 24, i was at a farewell party and got very very drunk. didn't feel sick that night itself and went to bed normally, but for two days now i've been feeling ever so slightly nauseous all the time. i thought i'd get it over with last night and tried to make myself throw up, but i just dry heaved and nothing more. felt fine after that but it's coming back the next day.

also might be important to mention: it was still manageable up until yesterday evening when i did some ab exercises at the gym. i think the pressure on my stomach made it significantly worse :/ i was feeling pretty okay before that, and wouldn't have touched the exercise if i knew this would happen.. now i know better

what do you suggest i do? i'm staying hydrated, getting good sleep, and having simple food. this has never happened before. i drink quite rarely.
