Which reforms?
India already produces a lot of Wheat, and the Gov was sure about it's ability to feed India as well as the World. Hence a month ago, it declared it was ready to export and feed the World.
The lesson here is not about Agricultural reforms, but about Government reforms. It's ability to collect and analyze the data properly.
But primarily, its also about the need to address the increase in heat due to Climate Change. That's what lead to lower production this year, which the Gov did not factor in into their calculations.
To begin with, getting rid of land ceiling laws which results in farmer suicides (but that’s not the reason why it should be removed, they should be removed because they make agriculture very inefficient by putting an artificial limit on how much land a farmer can own).
Infosys can own 5000 acres of land for a golf course but they cannot own 5000 acres of agricultural land.
The Organization Modi belongs to:RSS and the political party he leads:BJP, both of them have pictures of Godse on their office walls. They garland his pictures, they celebrate the day Gandhi was assassinated and they believe Godse did the right thing by shooting Gandhi.
There was nothing baseless about the tweet.
Either u are intentionally trying to mislead the audience here, or you do not know enough about RSS/BJP's politics and Ideology. In the latter case, perhaps do not accuse others of 'baseless accusations'
Guardian is not 'The west'.
It's a News organization. It is neither a representative or an official mouthpiece for 'The west'.
Guardian is not finger pointing as well, It's doing it's job, which is reporting the events.
And the criticism is absolutely valid.
This deflection and tangential remarks are not suitable for Hacker News.
UK is half way to Sharia?!
It's not true, but even it is, why has that got to do with the criticism?
There are continuous calls in India for genocide of Muslims, publicly.
Past two weeks, religious processions have been undertaken by Hindu extremist orgs in front of mosques with swords and Guns, mocking Muslims.
And PM of the Nation has been silent, with no calls whatsoever for peace.
It's not 'funny' to criticize PM of Nation to do his duty to people of the nation.
And it's not funny that Guardian is reporting it.
People living in India know how terrifying the situation has become due to these repeated calls for Violence against Muslims
If you have not noticed there was rioting in Sweden, attacks on Easter parade in Spain, and multiple counts of riots and attacks on Hindu processions in India.
Perhaps it is a correlation between hunger and anger, or perhaps the more regular congregation is convenient opportunity for riots.
So riots in Sweden and Spain makes Sharia halfway in UK?!
More Hindus kill Hindus in India. Relative to people belonging to other religions, More Hindus attack other Hindus in India. Where is your outrage against those Hindus here?
And stick to the topic at hand rather than inflammatory tangential remarks. This is not the place for that
The same is true of Muslim extremists. In general there has been an uptick in India with regards to religious extremists. Please don't try to make it sound as if only one group is making these things happen.
But one side has the support of the government. That same government is passing laws against Muslims. Maybe that’s the reason why they are getting riled up?
This is a very ingenuous take, trying to shield the wrong doings by Current Gov.
First, Illegal encroachments were not bulldozed. People had valid documents proving the legitimacy of their houses.
Also, the Supreme Court ordered for the demolitions to stop, but the houses and shops of people were still razed to ground.
The Rabble rousers were people who were undertaking religious processions with swords and guns raised in front of mosques, mocking and troubling Muslims. They even hoisted saffron flags over the mosques.
Rabble rousers are those who are continuously giving calls for genocide of Muslims in Dharm sansads, publicly.
And PM of India has stayed mum all through out.
What Guardian said is absolutely right. It's not flame-bait.
Such is Democracy, I guess.
It's a estimation made with of a model with data from an electoral polling company using phone call to a total of 140'000 individu over two years.
Let's look at the affiliations of the authors : save for an economist in India, two thirds of the team are from a Canadian think tank, the rest work for a big data company in Washington, almost none have published anything ever, and if they did, it was not medecine...
IMHO : A lot of doubt, if only due to the data source.
This smell like a lobbyist's made to order report. To me, it's strange it's been allowed by the Science editorial board.
No.
It's more prominent and widespread under the current government.
Multiple governments post Emergency did hold onto Parlimentary and democratic traditions and attempted to provide answers and held themselves accountable during such mishaps.
Its disingenuous to mark ANY current mishap by present gov to "Emergency days".
