Jharkhand Protests Successful Too

I know I am a lil late to the party, but my excitement cuz of this has gone beyond all expectations. For one of the first times in my life, I have been able to call myself a proud member of my Generation. A Generation that was said to be lazy, good-for-nothing and fully engrossed in brainrot, stood up to oppressors and showed them their place as to what they were elected to do. The Jharkhand Soren Government had to bow down to the students' demands too, after a heartbreaking lathi charge and another hunger strike by student activist Devendra Nath Mahto.

It is really really saddening to see how much the public has to fight against a government just to get their demands put out on a public forum. Is this how we, as a democracy, are going to treat dissenters? Our generation has fought back twice in a matter of 3 months. We're fighting back against a broken system for basic facilities in schools : toilets, teachers and boards for teaching.

Let me tell the parties one thing: focus on the students and you will reap. Neglect them and you will face dire consequences. We are not the ones who will fall back. We will fight tooth and nail against whatever anyone brings before us for our rights. Jai Hind. Jai Samvidhan. Inquilab Zindabad.

Jab Jab Zulmi Zulm Karega Satta Ke Galiyaaron Se, Chappa Chappa Goonj Uthega Inquilab Ke Naaron Se.
(Whenever an oppressor tries to oppress from the corridors of power, every inch of the land will rise with the slogan of Revolution.)

P.S.: Also, Mr. Soren, issue an unconditional apology for the actions of yourself, your Government and the Jharkhand Police. If you do not, you are no different from Mr. Amit Shah (ig that was proven last week tbh).

Why is there still this obsession with a veg diet? Just start selling meat everywhere, increase production so the cost goes down, and let more people get enough protein with fewer calories. Why is veg food still considered superior?

I have to get this off

First of all i am a socialist (leave if you want to) and I know I am going to get hate. Now to the point, so I have been seeing many people criticising leftist/socialist on the basic of religion, secularism and caste. But it's understandable because many only know leftist as mostly liberal which is not true.So on the topic of religion and secularism, we socialist advocate for a socialist where religious equality or state atheism like in the USSR, China or in Yugoslavia, but some people see the majority religion as favoring the minority religion, as in India if as leftist talk about religion he/she is labeled favoring a religion

And if there is a leftist actually favoring remember he/she is not a leftist but a liberal, I'm making it clear socialism/leftism and liberalism are different. Many people confuse this. We advocate for the marginalized group in every Nation doesn't matter what religion, if you see favoritism then your world vien on socialist are small. We will call wrong as wrong and right as right, but we doesn't generalize an whole religion or race or caste, because we have seen socialist nations having secularism with state Atheistism in the past the prime example is Yugoslavia.

The socialist main goal is to create a equal socialist where religion is seperate from politics and every citizens are treated equal by law, a criminal does a crime not a races, gender or religion and if religious extremism in any religion weather it be any religion we will talk against it , our main fight is against fascism that created this divide in rhe first place. If your a leftist and favor any religion your not a leftist but a hypocrite liberal.

I'm just saying that leftist or socialism has lost its meaning because our society has become so far right that liberal are being considered leftist, so pls I ask people to broader you world views study debate and discuss, because

"TOGETHER WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL!!!"

The internet has made me hate my country

I feel like the internet has made me hate being Indian to a point where it's becoming unbearable.

And I don't even think I can blame the internet for everything. Because whenever I see people saying things like "India is disgusting" or "Indians have no civic sense", I want to believe that they're just stereotyping us and exaggerating everything. But then I go outside and see some of the exact things they're talking about.

I'm so frustrated with the way a lot of people behave here. The littering, spitting, ignoring rules, treating public places like they're their own house, being loud in places where you're obviously not supposed to be, etc. And what frustrates me even more is when you try to point these things out and people get defensive instead of just admitting that maybe we could do better.

I've seen videos of foreigners criticizing India where they're actually being pretty respectful and making legitimate points, and then I go into the comments and it's just "INDIA IS THE BEST 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳" and people acting like any constructive criticism is going to kill them.

I've experienced this in real life too. I've tried telling people around me that certain things aren't okay, and I've literally been laughed at and called "Western". I don't understand how cleanliness and civic sense is a "Western" idea. Imagine being degraded over wanting a better country!

Because of all this, I've started developing a really horrible attitude toward Indians in general. I hate admitting this, but sometimes when I see an Indian person I immediately assume they're going to be annoying or inconsiderate until they prove otherwise. I KNOW that's unfair. I don't actually want to think like that. But that's genuinely where my head has gotten to.

And the internet makes it so much worse.

I feel like Indians are EVERYWHERE online. I see Indians being criticized, Indians arguing with people, Indians defending literally everything about India, Indians behaving badly in other countries, etc. And after seeing it constantly for years, I've started associating all of it with myself.

I've even lied about my nationality before because I was ashamed. I've had people online find out I'm Indian and suddenly treat me differently, and it makes me feel like I have to hide it if I want people to take me normally.

I also constantly compare India to other countries now. I'll see people from somewhere else and think, "Why can't we be like them?" They seem cleaner, more disciplined, more respectful, more attractive, whatever. I know that's probably an incredibly distorted way of looking at things, but when you've been exposed to this stuff constantly it's really hard not to think that way.

I've even started feeling insecure about my own appearance because I associate my appearance with being Indian. I find myself wishing I looked like I belonged to a completely different ethnicity. That's probably one of the worst parts of this whole thing, because I obviously can't change where I come from.

And I don't even hate everything about India. That's what makes this so confusing.

I genuinely love Indian culture, history, languages, art, architecture, music, etc. There are so many things about the country that I think are beautiful. But then I look at the way some people behave and the way India is portrayed online and I just feel this massive amount of embarrassment.

I keep thinking that if I could just leave India and live somewhere else, maybe I'd finally stop feeling like this. But then I remember that I'd still be Indian. I can't just change my face or erase where I came from. It's like I'll never fit in anywhere. I even feel guilty for wishing to migrant elsewhere, seeing how Indian immigrants are being seen these days. I really don't to trouble or cause discomfort for other country people, like how other Indians do.

Please change Indians. I just want a country to be proud of.
