I absolutely understand essential stuff. And guilty pleasures. But what is with people going about like usual - going out, eating food outside like normal etc, etc. Like... what the hell?

I came across the money control API, [https://priceapi.moneycontrol.com/pricefeed/nse/equitycash/YB](https://priceapi.moneycontrol.com/pricefeed/nse/equitycash/YB), which money control internally calls periodically, but I couldn't find any documentation related to it. Can anyone point to it if they are aware? Are there any legal repercussions to using this API for open sources software?

I heard that Victim's family has to go through narco test! What is it? Is it dangerous? When I googled it, it days that even court will not accept it as evidence! What will police achieve by narco test?

Hi guys, planning to order FPV drone goggles from AliExpress and was wondering if the Indian Customs are allowing products from China or not. I'm worried I won't even get any refund in case Customs stops it. Would like to hear your experience if you've ordered something recently. Thanks!

If I do some bubble wrapping, both will come in 2 backpacks. We are 3 people travelling together. Tried indigo helplines, not much help.

Hello All i have built a Online Radio app which is now live. i want to make it more easier to use for all here in India. Just wanted to know which radio stations you all kisten frequently and also if you use any online radio app then which app do you use. please also specify from where you are in india. Please help me refining my app so that i can make it better. My app name is Tarana Radio find it on google play it has a antenna icon.

Firstly, yes I am Indian. I wanted to know more about what the political landscape is like in India. I know a little bit but I don't really know much about the parties and their objectives (apparently there's 2 communist parties in India??). Please be as unbiased as possible, my question doesn't involve any bias so if you have an opinion about something and you want to share it, please share it at the end of the comment. Thanks!

I have tried to buy the cam from different websites. But so far no luck.

Yes I know, it's gonna go till 24 until they lose or it might stretch longer. But the question is who will they lose to, Congress? Atleast there won't be religion based cruelty or is it?

I noticed some weird shaded parts on Indian Region created by GOOGLE Sheets. Why Pakistan is sharing some parts in J&K as per this map? Try it out by creating a chart as Geo-map in Google sheets with some country wise data. https://preview.redd.it/4q22i179a3r51.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=992305d9f0950c71c9ded64f7d818de42ec8a091

According to [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_jammer#Legality), legality of mobile jammers in India is restricted to be used with prior permissions without leakage: "Illegal by law except for security and military agencies, and usage in jail, theatres, mosques, schools etc. with prior permit and jamming strictly limited to the firm perimeter with zero leakage." Yet, today a school in our colony conducting UPSC exams blocked the network of entire block in its radius for 6 hours. Is this legal? And what could I do about it?

Everything which puts pressure on the ruling government and keeps it under check is now under the government and plays on it's wishes. I feel it is going to be difficult to even express your views in the coming months. Had no place to say shit like this with anonymity.

I am not here to start a hate / finger pointing thread. I have genuinely not been interested in politics, and up untill today, been just listening to everybody's points (mostly my parents who are pro-BJP). However, I find most of these arguments are too subjective. So, I wanted to educate myself by asking you guys to list down your top things BJP got right and wrong (whichever you choose, or both is you are super awesome!).

Made an account to ask just this. Does it work? I dont even know who is reviewing the reported tweets, but if they are Indians too there is a high chance that they will be sympathetic and not take action against andhbhakts. I ask this bevause I (stupidly) gave in to a toxic andhbhakt repeatedly calling me names and called him "absolutely dumb". Then I reported his tweets and blocked him. Later on my account was blocked for 12 hours and I was asked to remove my "offensive" tweet. But later when I checked his account from an alt, I found out that his offensive tweets that I had reported, calling me dumb, ignorant, sick, a druggie, "zero intellect", etc, hadn't been removed. What do y'all think is going on?

https://twitter.com/sadhika_tiwari/status/1312665298453975040 > SIT has just concluded today's meet with the victim's family. Victim's father's blood pressure increased while he was being questioned by the team. Medical assistance has been provided to check his vitals. > Despite the family relatives requesting the political workers to leave the father alone for a while owing to his health, that deteriorated during the SIT questioning, he got hawked by dozens of people. > Health of Manisha Valmiki's father is deteriorating. Doc's are checking up on him. This [video](https://twitter.com/sadhika_tiwari/status/1312667082593509377) shows what is exactly wrong in our political discourse. Local leaders have started descending for photo-ops and trying to gain brownie points, at the cost of her father's health. We're in between a pandemic. A month from now, most of these politicians will nowhere be found fighting for justice. Its a long and dark battle, for her family ahead.

Summary of bans till now: # Youtube accounts: # Channel number 1, named 'WhiteHat Sr'. # 7 vides were removed from this channel. * The only video which has been reinstated till now is of a balloon with WhiteHatJr and Byjus written on it, titled 'Difference between WhiteHatSr and Byjus'. In no way there were any copyright infringements in this video. You can find the video on my youtube channel or twitter (@WhiteHatSnr). So now Aiplex or Byjus won't apologize for removing the video? Just like that, they can remove anyone's videos? * For the rest of the video, youtube rejected my appeal stating ' *Thank you for your counter-notification. Unfortunately, it's unclear to us whether you have a valid reason for filing a counter-notification, so we won't be able to honor your request.* One of the videos which was removed was a screen recording of my phone, where I click on Google Play, open whiteharJr app, and check its reviews, the third and fourth videos were exactly the same, word to word. That's the video, hardly 30 seconds, no background music or commentary. Yet it was removed for 'CopyRight Infringements'. # Channel number 2, named 'Safed Topi Sr 2'. # 7 videos were removed from here. * Videos were removed for reasons such as 'WhiteHatJr logo is shown on top left corner of the screen'. So I uploaded the same video with its entire screen blurred. And that video was also removed by WhiteHatJr for copyright Infringements. * In one video I show every 5-star fake review of WhiteHatJr app on GooglePlay Store. This video getting banned seems so strange because I am showing fake reviews on Google Play Store which Google itself should not allow in the first place, and then their own Sibling company Youtube removes video. And then also rejects all my counter-notification stating I don't have any valid reason. * Wolf Gupta video: This kid does not exist. And WhiteHatJr keeps changing his age from 9-14 years old and his salary from 1.2 crore rupees to 20 crores and then 150 crores. And this Wolf Gupta supposedly works in Google. So when I make a video on this, instead of taking any actions against WhiteHatJr, Google (YouTube) removes my video. Now Byjus higher mgmt says if Google/Barak Obama/Blue Origin/Elon Musk/Bill gates etc doesn't have any issue in whitehatjr using their pics, who am I to say anything. Well, its the public who is getting fooled with false advertisements, Elon Musk doesn't have time to look into WhiteHatJr ads! * Videos on this channel got removed with in 30-45 minutes of getting uploaded. The entire channel was banned permanently so fast that I didnt even get time to file appeal for some of the videos. # Channel number 3, named 'Pradeep Poonia 3.0'. # Three videos have been removed from here till now. * Some people suggested that my videos were getting removed because I used WhiteHat name. So I left that name after the second channel itself. And used my own name in this third channel. Here also videos are getting removed. One more strike, this channel would also be gone. * The 'CLOUD' video is also removed. Hope you guys will make sure that that Cloud video always stays up in 'Cloud'. ​ # Two Reddit accounts # 1. u/whiteHatSr : permanently suspended for 'Harassment'. Ironically the post from this account was 'Byjus is Harassing me. Please help') 2. u/WhiteHat_Sr : here the post was 'My first Reddit account got suspended'. ​ # Quora account was temp suspended for 14 days for commenting a couple of answers. The account has no whiteHat anything in it, it was many years old personal account. ​ # First Twitter account @ WhiteHatSr was suspended suspiciously. Then I made an account @ WhiteHatSnr. ​ \------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think a total of 16 videos have been removed by now. I have tagged Youtube India on twitter asking explanations. They are ignoring all my tweets. Please support those threads on twitter (@ WhiteHatSNR) After these videos of many other YouTubers are also taken down like its nothing. Byjus is totally controlling the internet, especially Quora, Youtube, and where we are right now. I had been trying to post this for a week. \------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's next? Some good things are happening behind the scene. Those will be revealed soon. Also, I will keep on uploading the videos on youtube on new channels. Support from you people would really help the cause. \------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ​ You can find most of the deleted videos on Telegram at WhiteHatPoonia And on LBRY.

To give a bit of perspective in India we all have that one stupid relative who always asks what you are doing especially if your graduating , plus despite being 80+ this geezer has a reputation for poking his nose innithers buisness and always is interested in knowing what others are doing but won't reveal shit about his family , now in my case I have a year drop in my engineering but will graduate in 2021 (no one outside my immediate family knows this) but this shithead always calls my father and asks's about my final exams ,etc .This thing has increased in lockdown , Can anyone suggest any way to effectively shut him up . Seriously ,now a days when ppl ask about what I'm doing its difficult to tell them .

Just spoke to a friend who went to a party yesterday. He met some NRIs who are supposed to be home quarantined but are freely roaming about. My friend told me I was being an idiot to suggest that they should not roam about. He said they'd go about the festival season with full fervour. People are violating the stay at home instructions and this is going to spread more chaos. I don't understand why the privileged brats think they are above the law. I also heard that there is a fake test certificate racket going on- Rs. 5k gives you a fake negative test and allows you to fly to other countries. Predictably, many countries have restricted arrivals from India due to this fake test. I wish people would be more considerate, but that's not happening and we will not see the end of this pandemic anytime soon, even after other countries recover.

Hey! I am currently a doctoral student at IIT, Kanpur. I am running an online experiment that I'd really appreciate if you participate in (and maybe send it to your friends :)) Follow this [link](http://srivalab.cse.iitk.ac.in/revati_expts/pcr/1a/experiment_1a.html). The experiment is pretty simple (and the instructions will guide you through it). You will have to judge if a few scenarios are possible or impossible. Requirements: * Laptop/desktop with chrome installed * 15 minutes of undisturbed time If you have any questions, want to know more about what I am doing, get in touch! Edit: mistakenly addressed to Punekars

There has been news all over about police brutality in India this past year, beating students in Jamia Milia and even sexually assaulting female students, attacking and beating people in lockdown, to having a bias and turning a blind eye to issues, to THIS, at Hathras. Why does the police in India act with such impunity??? Even the USA has started to recognize police brutality and there is mass outrage over it. When will Indians have outrage over this? Why does the police even have so much clout? Are there any laws meant to punish them? Apart from being "suspended".

I stay in North India and I really want to buy a high quality chef's knife (it's a gift for my dad!). Think something like this: [knife ](https://dalstrong.com/products/shogun-series-7-rocker-knife?variant=12409304023121&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5eX7BRDQARIsAMhYLP-mY5C8EcYRaA8MZsSxQ_l_Uc1JCLebTlRJurcylbAlxB1IPpIa4ygaAu3bEALw_wcB). I wanna buy something made in India and I don't want to give money to amazon for something not worth it. Does anyone know where I can look?

It's an performance based internship, with stipend varying from Rs.2000 ro Rs. 1,00,000 per month , open to BBA/B.Com/MBA grads , B.Tech can be considered under special circumstances

As per the title, I (28M, MBA '18 from Pune) am in therapy since a month for social anxiety. I've been at home without a job since May 2019. Please see my earlier post linked here. https://np.reddit.com/r/pune/comments/gaqup9/seeking_guidance_and_suggestions_for_job_and/ My therapist has suggested taking up a low stress, fixed-hours day job; not necessarily related to Sales & Marketing at this juncture, maybe not even MBA, and it should be such that over some time, I will be able to shift into a full time conventional MBA job as I want. Money is not a major issue at all. She said the job will help provide a stimulus to which I shall have a reaction, on which we can work upon and improve myself; which is absolutely right. To be frank, apart from BPO and customer care type jobs, I ain't getting any ideas. I shall appreciate any help from you on this matter.

I don’t know if anyone else has faced something similar, but it seems like no matter how old you are, Indian parents often love to get off from having dominance and superiority over their kids. As an example, I’m in my 20s, and I’ve gotten so fed up of the constant criticising and pointing out. Whenever I ask for it to stop, I’m given the “were just trying to help you improve” excuse. For instance, we were out at a restaurant to eat, and I got told off for not asking if someone wanted something. I mean, it’s not essential, anyone can sample whatever they want to. But no, it had to turn into a parenting situation. Seems like every situation has to turn into a parenting thing.

#women_safety 50 days challenge! Motivation :we have seen through the hathras incident that how all of a sudden there was a surge in the energy of the media of the opposition and how the entire country made sure that, atleast the injustice is stopped. I am not saying that justice will be done cause we outraged for 3 days but atleast justice is on its course. I also saw how few bjp supporters also gave a severe back lash to the up government. I believe women safety is a beyond politics topic. Everyone wants there sister wife girlfriend mother etc to be safe. Hence this idea. Idea : I got this idea from a akash banerjee video where in he says if we constantly outrage for 50 days for women safety something can happen.So I thought about it. And then it struck me that we can make use of this sub reddit for this nobel cause Implementation : what we can do is make a flair called women safety in this subreddit. We post news from trusted newspapers of any rape that happens on this day. We take a screen shot of that and we post on twitter under the #women_safety. We also tweet it to PM modi ji, Rahul ji, rajdeep sardesai, Rahul kawal, basically media organisation , akash banerjee, dhruv rathee and other female activists. Even if 12k people post that using #women_safety we can easily trend it on twitter. Since it's not a polarising topic media can and will pick it up some day if we do enough of it. If not media atleast social media will. P. S :- IF THIS IDEA SEEMS SILLY THEN PARDON ME. I AM HONESTLY DISTURBED WITH WHAT HAPPENED. AND THIS IS JUST A TRY TO MAKE INDIA A LITTLE BIT MORE SAFE FOR OUR SISTER MOTHER GIRLFRIEND WIFE ETC ETC

I am increasingly finding it difficult to maintain friendships with bhakts, Trump supporters, etc. There is no conversation possible with them if we disagree with them. I don't mind "old school" conservatives, i.e., those who urge caution when it comes to rapid change. However, the new fascist strain in conservatives is making it very difficult to maintain friendships. I cannot pretend to agree with those who are advocating genocide, supporting rapists and are treating politicians like gods. I am afraid I will find it difficult to maintain even family relationships if this progresses. I already have stopped talking to a bunch of my cousins. My sister is a bhakt but she doesn't express her feelings openly in front of me. I'm afraid someday she will show her vishwaroopam and I will feel like cutting her off from my life. How are the rest of you dealing with this?

The Hathras case is just an another distraction, to make us distract from another important issue that we all have forgotten or put it on a side line i.e **Farmers Bill.** Ok before you guys try to open your third eye, I'm not saying that the girl shouldn't get justice. I also demand justice for her. But doesn't it look a bit convenient that as soon as **SSR's** murder angle was removed and people just got bored with drugs in Bollywood and our all mighty news media is covering the Hathras's case. Why would they do it? Is it a sudden revival of conscience? My answer is that it is just to save our Supreme leader's @ss. Reasoning is simple on one hand farmers are saying "Supreme Leader Hai Hai", but if we look at other hand people are saying "Yogi and police Hai Hai". As we all know the top 3 of the goberment are: 1. Supreme Leader 2. A. Shah 3. Yogi Baba By getting rid of the least important poll, it may hamper the integrity of the castle but at least castle will stay up. Farmers are angry with the Supreme Leader and if the protest becomes to large this could actually demolish the castle. And lets be real here we know how much time it will take to give justice to that girl. Not to mention Yogi technically have a trump card which is Ram Mandir. Our Hindus will never remove the people who saved Hinduism.

How does anyone who has returned to India from abroad use their international credit cards for purchases in India? It seems that even major e-commerce websites like Amazon doesn’t accept International credit card to purchase a prime subscription. Are there any workarounds that people have used here to overcome this situation?

one of my friend claimed that there is a way to upload and claim an exemption on GST bills on purchases on e-filing website. I am not sure if it actually true. He heard from his colleague and cannot remember how to do it. What type itr should be filled for claiming this kind of exemption and how to claim it?

I have seen 3 videos already of the victim talking to a single reporter. I dont know hindi and cannot understand whats happening here. If this is fake, why are people doing this and is there no law that prevents them from doing this? I can find the other two. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrT8GJ-UhwQ&feature=youtu.be&ab\_channel=GirrajPandit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrT8GJ-UhwQ&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=GirrajPandit)

During elections, they probably went from village to village to gain votes and claim about safety and development of the society but at the time like this no one showed up. I'm not supporting any party here, just asking if something like this bad happens in the society then is it not the duty of the ruling party to help the family and visit them even once? It may be possible i've been missed the news that someone from ruling party has already visited, tell me if this is the case also. More or less it feels like BJP trying to cover up this case by all means.

My friend has agreed to send me a gift card from Germany ( euros) to India via google play. Now the question is how do I redeem it?

trying to get some feedback from r/india

There's clearly no denying that each major political party in India has thier own dedicated IT cells to push its propoganda/agenda over all major SMs and then there are also other PR agencies which companies use to promote thier brand. But how does it actually work? Clearly they don't have that much employees as many as there are fake accounts online and how come there isn't an employee whose news breaks out every now and then mentioning the sadistic practices being followed?

[removed] [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/j4wwvr)

I am based out of Delhi and ever since the Corona imposed lockdown have been working from home, will be continuing WFH for next few months (may be more) , so my wife and I have been thinking of moving to some place like Mussoorie, Shimla, Nainital. Out plan is to rent an 1 BHK or 2 BHK for a few months. I did a lot of online searches and couldn't find any accurate information about the hill stations with good internet connectivity. So asking the good people of this sub to please suggest some places in the Himalayas for this purpose. Thanks !

Hi, I recently went through Indian news and media. I was concerned regarding the privacy violations that are happening in India as well as the recent case in UP. I express my heartily condolences to the families and prayers for them. Getting to the topic, here's a Privacy 101 for you if you're a Journalist / Activist / Citizen of India who doesn't want her/his private chats on live TV. **Privacy Violations and How to Evade:** **1. WhatsApp Chats:** Regardless of claims, WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted and it cannot be Intercepted and decrypted without the encryption key from the user's device. The encryption key is stored in the app data folder which is only accessible to the app itself and the root user and a few other methods due to android's app sandboxing. The privacy flaw lies in the Google drive backups and the owning company Facebook. Facebook is known to violate user privacy and it's not once. The WhatsApp chat databases (msgstore) are uploaded unencrypted into Google drive. Google drive has a special feature for storing app data in a hidden folder in the drive (App Data Storage), anyone with Google credentials or a login session from Google services can access all your chat backups and read it without a key. **[?] How to Prevent:** Disable Google Drive Backups. The local backups are always available from Internal Storage /WhatsApp folder. The backups are encrypted so you can just copy it over to a safe location (a hardrive / pendrive / cold storage). You can also use any of the below cloud storage apps and configure automatic sync for the folder. **2. Call and Message Tapping:** This is usually the telecom company handing over their logs to the government on orders. Your telecom company may also monitor your internet activity by monitoring your dns queries or using DPI (Deep Packet Inspection). **[?] How to Prevent:** Use a different number. Ask a trusted friend to get you a Sim card, and use it for account verifications and then don't keep it. You can also purchase temporary numbers online. Just change your number altogether, or use online privacy focused messaging and calling services. Do not visit HTTP websites as they'd be plain text. Use a tunneling tool like TOR with Encrypted DNS. If you dislike TOR for it's slow network, use a trusted VPN like ProtonVPN. **3. Using a VPN make me undetectable:** NO. A VPN only tunnels your internet through their servers, preventing you from DPI and interception threats in your network (Lan, Wan, and from your ISP). Many VPN providers are known to have "Zero Logs" policy, but it's not known how much of it is true as their servers are private. They could hand over your internet logs to your government any time on orders, or just sell it. **[?] How to Prevent:** If you're into a sensitive activity I'd recommend using TOR for it. It's decentralized and no organization owns it. It routes your traffic in layers (circuits) through different self hosted servers (TOR nodes). No one on the Onion Network knows each other. (you might have just heard of it as deep web in fancy articles. It's called onion router in particular, nothing just a bunch of ip addresses. People just like fiction a lot). **4. These apps make me a ninja online:** NO. It's you who make yourself a ninja. Keep in mind these are just tools. Your Privacy is no one's, just yours. How you handle it is your responsibility. Using real names, aliases, common passwords, typing practices, phone number, pictures, it's all you who control it. If you can make good practices, you can become a 21 century ninja. . . . . . . . . . **Using privacy focused applications and services always come with a little separation from comfort. You would have to walk that extra mile yourself for that little megabyte of data. Read u/demo_crazy's comment for more overview** . . . . . . . . . **Keep in mind, using an iOS or a Mac is always great, you wouldn't require most of the apps in such case. In case you're still sus, you can find these apps for both iOS and Android.** **Quick List:** **1. Messaging:** Ditch WhatsApp (it's not really trustworthy). Use Signal. Its completely open-source. For more privacy use burner number. (you can also use wire and telegram). >Instead of using burners(which surely isn't easily available in India) and then using Signal, try **Threema**. It is open source messaging app which requires no phone number to sign up. **2. Email Client:** Use K9 Mail App, FairMail, and ProtonMail App for writing emails. K9 Mail and FairMail are email clients that support gmail and Outlook and other email providers. > K9 Mail with OpenKeyChain is to be used to be more secure(even if you use K9 Mail with Gmail Google can scan it). Also use something like Disroot or Dismail instead of Gmail. Better to go with Protonmail or Tutanota all in all to be most secure and they have there own apps. **3. Email Provider:** For emails I wouldn't recommend Gmail, Outlook or Yandex. It's better to use ProtonMail and Temporary Emails. For more privacy you can use TorMail and other onion mail services. > You can use Protonmail or Tututanota via there onion addresses instead. >Do not use Gmail or Outlook. If it is confidential, use **Protonmail**, **Tutanota**, **Disroot** as email providers. Also, using Gmail with an open source mail app is pointless. **4. Twitter Client App:** Talon and Twitalatte for twitter. They are open-source with no adverts. **5. Cloud Storage:** It's not recommended to use Google Drive for things that may be sensitive. Use Tresorit and Mega Cloud for your private suff. They also have android apps and have automated folder sync. > You can use any cloud storage (better to go for mega as said) but make sure you encrypt the content using something like cryptomator before uploading. **6. Contacts:** Open Contacts is an awesome tool to manage your contacts that are sensitive. You can import export them as well. You can then use cloud storage apps to sync it. **7. Messaging:** Use Silence. It will encrypt the content of message if both parties are using Silence. But SMS is the least secure of any communication modes and it's vulnerable to all kinds of attack. QKSMS is also open-source and a good alternative if you don't need encryption. **8. Browser:** Firefox or Tor Browser, with duck duck go search engine and UBlock Origin, NoScripts, Https Everywhere Adblock Plus plug-ins. Ditch Chrome and UC please. **9. Internet:** Do not use a VPN. Use Tor instead. It's decentralized, open-source and nearly untraceable. If you really need a good VPN use ProtonVPN or PIA. Use Orbot App to tunnel all your traffic through Tor. You can use Invizible app for overall private tunnel. >Also, use a VPN for important stuff. Use **ProtonVPN**, it is free, based in Switzerland and does not keep logs. >Use **DuckDuckGo** or **SearX** for search engines. **10.

If you like unsolved mysteries, about four years ago a redditor discovered a [number station](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_station) on the dark web broadcasting in Bengali. He made a 10.5 hr recording and other redditors made shorter samples of it. Here are some of those clippings: [Voice 1](https://s3.amazonaws.com/tornumberstation/voice1.mp3) [Voice 2](https://s3.amazonaws.com/tornumberstation/voice2.mp3) [Voice 3](https://s3.amazonaws.com/tornumberstation/voice3.mp3) So far no one knows what they were about, but [there were reports](https://www.hindustantimes.com/kolkata/terror-chatter-ham-users-track-unauthorised-radio-communications-on-bengal-bangla-borders/story-7r9cy5NnvJhLpmHxygAn6N.html) around the same time that Indian HAM operators had detected cross border terror chatter in code language. > Amateur radio operators in south Bengal have raised alarm over unauthorised radio communication along the Bengal-Bangladesh border. The communication is taking place using radio signals (very high frequency) at dead in the night and the sources of the signals are moving and speaking in code languages. >When HAM radio operators of Bengal tried speaking to them, they stopped communication briefly only to resume it again.

Let's be honest, people are barely moving out of their homes sans essential work. The number of automobiles hitting the streets is a fraction of what it was in the pre-COVID times and the price of international crude oil has also reacted accordingly. In India, however, the price has increased instead of decreasing. Who is eating this increased chunk of petrol revenue? Whether its the oil companies like ONGC/HPCL or the state/central govts., the ultimate sufferer is us junta only. I'm surprised why isn't the junta protesting against such abysmal petrol price hike while doing it against silly issues like bollywood drug addiction?

My kitchen renovation starts next week and I'm trying to find a durable and long lasting hob and an oven! Any inputs will be appreciated.

My friend's mother has to conduct an event for which she is taking a registration fee from the participants. Is there a site where she can keep track of the people paid, along with their details such as emails and numbers, so that can send them the meeting link?

Caste exists and so does caste-based discrimination and crimes. But people in India are really scared to talk about that. In light of the Hathras incident, I've seen a lot of people on this sub talking about it. But every time I see such a post I see some people getting annoyed with the idea that the caste of the accused or victim is being discussed. I also saw similar posts on Instagram. India is so scared to discuss caste that they completely skipped it and moved on to discuss other first-world issues, which I'm not saying shouldn't be discussed. But why ignore this social evil which is so relevant to India? When the Supreme Court of India decriminalized gay marriages I saw so many people online discussing it and praising it. But what about honor killings and the social stigma that inter-caste couples face? Bollywood was so scared to discuss this issue, that when they remade Sairat they completely removed caste from the plot. I would take the example of the West here. Even though racism may not be zero, the fact that racism is talked about and acknowledged there is something which should be a thing to note. Fifa openly says, Say No To Racism. Hollywood talks about it and so does the academy. In Bollywood, celebs talk about racism too but I've never heard them comment on any caste-based violence when the problem of caste is much more critical in the Indian context. Ambedkar, the person who played a major role in uplifting Dalits is attacked by so many upper caste people today. In fact, Ambedkar has become such a controversial figure that if you say good about him, some people would automatically assume you're a Dalit. Despite being one of the most influential and talked-about personalities in India, do you think Bollywood has the balls to do a biopic on him? I guess no because upper caste people would be offended. On the other hand, caste is still used as a symbol of pride. Whether it is Ravindra Jadeja using Rajput Boy or Chulbul Pandey stating to Rajjo's father that him being a Brahmin is one of the reasons why Rajjo should marry him. But in India these things are fine. Because we don't care about that. Talking about caste is fine as long as we are not talking about dalits or in a context related to dalits. And if we ever do, we better make sure it is about reservations.

All eyes on CBI is trending on twitter. I thought this was about Manisha and checked the tweets. Maybe I kept my expectations way too high because the tag is to get justice for SSR. The tweets are talking about how Arnab has some major expose which he will talk about tomorrow. Also people going on hunger strikes for SSR. Sigh.

YOGI ADITYANATH IS THE BEST CM! Don’t believe me? See for yourself: *When Adityanath established the Hindu Yuva Vahini, it mainly attracted upper-caste, unemployed youth who did not find a space in the Samajwadi Party or the Bahujan Samaj Party. *In their fact-finding report on riots in the eastern UP town of Mau in 2005, Vibhuti Narain Rai, Rooprekha Verma and Nasiruddin Haider Khan spoke presciently of the Hindu Yuva Vahini, comprising “mostly unemployed youth, small level criminals and the youth struggling for identity”, fighting Muslims with “arson, destruction of property and beating”. *Year 2005: Yogi’s purification drive- In one session about 1800 Christians converted to Hinduism in UP(Etah). *Year 2007: Gorakhpur Riots- He gave inflammatory speech; his followers set fire to a Muslim Mausoleum. He broke the curfew and was jailed under IPC sections 151A, 146, 147, 279, 506. This led to further tensions and there were riots across Gorakhpur. *Year 2010: When opposing the Women's Reservation Bill, Adityanath said that reservation doesn't affect women's domestic responsibilities such as childcare. He added that if men develop feminine traits they become gods, but if women develop masculine traits they become demons. *Year 2011: He shared a stage and agreed with a Hindu Leader’s speech; “Hindu audiences should dig graves of Muslim Women and rape the corpses” -The documentary film Saffron War- Radicalisation of Hinduism accused Yogi of promoting communal disharmony in UP through hate speeches. *Undated: Referring to religious conversions due to inter-religious marriages, he said,” If Muslims take one Hindu Girl, we will take 100 Muslim girls. If they kill one Hindu, we will have 100 of them killed”. *Year 2015: While speaking at the Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s ‘Virat Hindu Sammelan’, Adityanath commented: "If given a chance, we will install statues of Goddess Gauri, Ganesh and Nandi " — Hindu deities — "in every mosque." *Year 2015: “Those who want to avoid Yoga should leave Hindustan, those who see communalism in even Sun God would be to drown themselves in the sea or live in a dark room for the rest of their lives”. *Year 2015: He compared actor Shah Rukh Khan to Pakistani Terrorist Hafiz Saeed. *Year 2017: Kafeel Khan, a government doctor from Gorakhpur became the victim of the wrath of the UP administration after 63 children died in a Gorakhpur government hospital because of the breakdown of oxygen supply. Again in 2020, booked under NSA for anti CAA speech. *Year 2018: Live coverage of an alleged encounter of Naushad and Mustakeem (not clear if they were named in police records as dangerous criminals). *Year 2019: When nationwide protests began against the changes in the citizenship regime from December 2019, the UP administration was the first to suppress the protests using tear-gas, baton-charges and firing, leaving 23 people dead, 21 of these with bullet wounds, most of them Muslim. -As part of a fact-finding team from Karwan E Mohabbat: Numerous testimonies of police entering the homes of Muslims, wounding people, even children, destroying property and vandalising mosques. *March 9, 2020: The Allahabad High Court ordered the UP government to remove the posters and declared the action as “without having the authority of law”. Instead of obeying, the UP government challenged it in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court too held that there was no law to support the actions of the UP government. Yet, the posters continued to be displayed on the streets of Lucknow and other cities, with the chief minister declaring that “revenge” would be extracted from the protestors. In Lucknow alone, the government issued recovery notices for Rs 1.5 crore from protestors, most of whom were poor, working-class Muslims. *Yogi’s misuse of preventive-detention and other laws against dissenters, the encouragement of extra-judicial killings, a campaign against so-called “love jihad” of Muslim men marrying Hindu women and indifference to court orders. *Over three years to 2020, 124 alleged criminals were shot dead in 6,476 “encounters”, according to data compiled by caste and religion and released by the UP police to the media. Up to 37% of those killed in these encounters until August were Muslim, almost double their proportion (19%) in the state’s population. The “encounter” campaign led by Adityanath crosses new lines because the data show that those killed in these encounters are petty criminals, those against whom no charge has been proven and, are predominantly Muslims, Dalits and other backward castes. Ask yourself a question, you want to support “THIS” Man?

There are serious allegations on the government of tracking call details and Whatsapp chats of journalists and activists using softwares like Pegasus. People on twitter are regularly targetted for sharing anything which is critical of the government. This community is a great source for sharing information and opinion that the government would heavily dislike and would like to crack down on because of their hate towards dissent and truth. Can anyone find out the identity of the people who make posts here? Can the ISPs track our reddit activity? How safe and anonymous are we when we share anything on reddit?

I have a BMI of 25. I am about 5'8. I run twice a week and workout 3 times a week. Just regular strength training. No bodybuilding. I've been having problems finding clothes that fit. Shirts and upper body clothing fit fine but it's lower part that's the problem. I can't fit comfortably into skinny jeans. Not at the waist but the legs. It's very constricting. I ask for non skinny fit pants at stores and even then it's still a problem. It's getting even rarer to find normal fit pants. It's so bad I basically tailor all my pants for work. I avoid wearing jeans and stick to short pants and track suits for informal settings. That too I can get decent fitting ones at places like Decathlon. Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone know decent brands I should get?

They are loaded with clothes, jewels, makeup. Surrounded by a ton of relatives, friends. But most of them look as if they are exhausted, tired, forced into doing all that. One should have a light and happy face on their wedding day!

I mean sure, we’ve heard about incels outside India. They’re young men not necessarily unattractive but they post wierd stuff on the internet and might even shoot up places. I was thinking about that. Sure thing India has incels. What do you think fits the average Indian incel profile? The teenagers and college kids preaching life advice on quora? The unkills who harass bachelors? Nosy aunties butting in your privacy? Personally I don’t know any incels irl. The closest I’ve seen were nutjobs on quora. But again, we aren’t ourselves online. So what is a desi incel like? Any identifiers? Are they any different from the incel trope abroad?

My mom has to travel 10km to and fro daily to commute to work and we need a simple, economical automatic car for her. preference is safety, comfort and ease of control, a smaller frame. budget is below 5 lakhs. kindly suggest which models should i look into.

I recently moved to India. I have heard way too many stories about vendors selling adulterated products so I don't want to buy from generic marketplaces like amazon or flipkart. Healthkart seems legitimate but some reviews even there claims that they sell adulterated products. Where do you guys buy your protien powder from?

I mostly see only positive comments on most polarizing topics he addresses. Do they curate comments on YouTube?

I am not criticizing here..just want to know your side of the story. Do you think this is fair and if yes why? *Rationale

Looking for a dashcam under 5K. Doesn't need to be really high quality, preferably should record well in dark. I have absolutely zero experience with dashcams - never even seen one. If someone has any experience using these in India, feel free to share, I'm sure I'll find it helpful. With everything reopening and traffic returning to normal, what I am looking for is sort of a safety net in case something bad happens on the road and I get wrongly blamed for it.

Bhuvan's Website has some glitches for now but maps quality and the data it provides is on next level. i'm glad we have this and it'll be helpful in other aspects too.

The past few months have been real shady for us Indians in terms of the hate news, targeted journalism, and support for vague and biased journalism. We in this community keep on raising our voices against such media houses who give us incorrect news and who only work for their trp but that’s not enough. Given every situation needs a small change, I realised that we should end up getting a subscription for the very few unbiased news media that are left and support them. This one step will help contribute to and uphold media houses with strong ethics and help them survive. Remember one small bais-ed *breaking news* can affect our entire nation and destroy lives. Choose wisely. 🙏 PS: I am not a media person. Just an ordinary citizen. Thank you!

Given for TRP and keep citizen deviate from real issues, news channel tried to use SSR death to shame bollywood. (Of, course everybody knew them and even people in your friends circle consuming drugs) How you think bollywood celebrity (specially top guns) will react in future with them..? In terms of news channel has entertainment section and celebrity interview aka Page 3?

Our country has much less land compared to the population. We also dont have a high ampunt of resources to nurture this huge population. Moreover other problems like corruption make situations even worse. Everything is related to population being too high. Edit: this is completely irrespective of the religion debate. I dont want to bring that debate in this.

My father and my step mom are having problems. My real mother died in 2009 and my father remarred in 2012. My step mom is a nice woman. But thwy have been having serious issues since the last 3 months. My father made some mistakes. Like he didn't see her for three months because he said he could not travel due to coronavirus. He could but it would've been expensive. He went to see her after 3 months and they had a fight and she no longer wants to be with him. My father has a flat in Jaipur where he used to live with his wife and now she says that she just wants to be alone. I have tried talking to her but it's of no use. My father was crying a few minutes back and it broke my heart to see him like that. He feels alone and misses and he has tried everything. What do I do to help him? He has been employed since march due to covid. It is highly likely that they will have a divorce and he will have to give 50% of the flat to her. But for now, he feels alone and has money problems. How do I help him feel less alone? I am thinking of finding another woman for him but I don't trust people easily. I want to find a good woman for him. But idk where to begin. What do I do? Please advise. Thank you for reading. Edit: misses her

don't have anything else to attach in post body but it must contain some text so this is it but i don't get why you're reading this instead of answering the question lol

Posting on this sub because I want to escape any pseudo or biased views that come from a regular Google search. I trust the legitimacy of what Redditors have to say. This mainly concerns India because we are one of the largest markets for Chinese phone manufacturers. I am a privacy freak, knowing fully well what Google and Facebook do, but I'd rather trust Google with my data than a Chinese company, based off the mass reaction. But first let's educate ourselves. Thanks!

First of all it will lead to a decrease in rapes. Teens will know the importance of consent and other STD's such as AIDS, syphilis etc. They will be aware of the importance of protection. It will also lead to decrease in population growth.

So a few months back during the covid lockdown I made an impulse buy, a single speed cheap bicycle for Rs 5990/- , I was expecting to ride it just for a year and have it be a part of different workouts. As I started riding longer distances, it became more apparent that having gears would be amazing. I started researching and figured out that I could do it at home. Watched a lot of GCN, RJ the Bike Guy, Park Tool , Seth's Bike Hacks and a lot of scouring on the internet. Here's how it went. These are all the parts I purchased 1) Shimano TZ500 6 Speed Freewheel 2) Shimano TZ50 6 Speed Derailleur 3) A new KMC 6 Speed Chain 4) 6 Speed Index shifter by a company called Starlit The upgrade process was quite hard and faced a couple problems I wasn't expecting. 1) I was able to remove the wheel, remove the old 17T freewheel and install the new freewheel without much of a problem. But now the hub spacing had increased by an inch since the new freewheel was thicker. To accomodate the thicker freewheel I had to increase the dropout spacing by cold setting. 2) The axle length wasn't enough on the freewheel side so I had to remove the cone nuts and shift the axle by about a centimetre 3) The wheel was sitting off center in the frame now so had to use extra spacers on both sides to make it work. 4) Brakes were another challenge, due to the wheel being asymmetric in the frame I had to use the spacers trick with the brake pads too!. Added more spacers on one side and removed from the other. 5) The old crank was made for the single speed chain (10mm), so the teeth on the chainring were too thick for the new chain. Instead of changing the crank I filed every single tooth on the chainring to make it work with the new chain!! 6) Had to design and print new mounting adapters for the shifter since the handle bar was a flat tube instead of a circular one. After that I used all the park tool videos to tune the Derailleur and it's been working pretty well. I've made a video with all the steps documented. You can check I out here https://youtu.be/m1PQN1JXrKk

All of India knows about this now, It's gone viral. So what is the use of burning the victim without the consent of the family? What do cops get by doing that? What do they achieve from that? I'm confused please let me know

All these new apps have got my parents hooked by providing free on-demand content initially and now asking to pay for the shows they are midway through and they simply block it completely. Is there a good app like plex/torrents/popcorn time etc for watching regular Indian shows for free? Don't mind if they have advertisements

There has been news all over about police brutality in India this past year, beating students in Jamia Milia and even sexually assaulting female students, to attacking and beating people in lockdown, to having a bias and turning a blind eye to issues, to THIS, at Hathras. Why does the police in India act with such impunity??? Even the USA has started to recognize police brutality and there is mass outrage over it. When will Indians have outrage over this? Why does the police even have so much clout? Are there any laws meant to punish them? Apart from being "suspended".

Little background - I'm a simple guy who is going to use this car to drive to work and back home. Use it for grocery shopping over the weekend, and probably take the family here and there. We don't move out unless necessary, and over the last few months with Covid, my current car (second hand Santro which is almost 15 years old) has been parked for 90% of the time. So it doesn't make sense for me to buy a high end top model or spend behind a spacious car when I'm going to be the one using it most of the time. I'm looking for something that gets the job done, doesn't burn a hole in the pocket and is reliable or even can be sold off in a couple years at a decent value, when we make a decision to really upgrade. Could use your help and suggestions on this, as I'm getting a lot of mixed reviews on the car websites, and figured I'd rather go by your experience and suggestions.

Trying to understand how to win over people who have opposing ideologies. Especially radical ones. I feel we attack them and mock them too much and should rather acknowledge (not agree) their problems and pain. This makes them go more defensive. What if instead of offense we play with more understanding of where they are coming from? Wondering if it’s actually possible to make a radical see how their ideology hurts. Not applicable to all of them of course, but the ones who genuinely believe they are fighting for good whereas they are actually just being fooled by politicians.

Dear musicians of india, I always wanted to learn guitar but couldn’t due to lack of budget. I got a job and saved some money but still on a budget can you guys help me buy a guitar which can not be that expensive and is okay for learning how to play for beginners. Please anyone...

Adolescence is a very important phase here, it is very important to pay more attention to the parents than the teacher of the school, this is where important changes in the body begin, here it is very important to give moral education as well as sex education, As long as parents play an important role in leading children towards their bright future by treating them like friends, this age is full of curiosity, it is said that the development of the brain takes place till the age of 12 years. It only enhances it. This age is like a hot metal that you can bend into any shape.

Hey folks. I don't know if this is the right subreddit for this, but here goes something. I read a lot and I have collected quite a few books, and I'm in the process of selling off the ones I don't need or require anymore. They're usually fiction/non-fiction. The Instagram page I sell them on is @vintage_inventory. I wanted to know where in India I could sell these books. Or is there a particular sub on reddit for the Indian market that could help me out for the same though? If anyone is interested, I could list out the books here as well though. Also, I've got tons of academic books, mostly from the CBSE era, anywhere from cursive writing books to grammar and math/science books and tons of textbooks as well. Is there an online service or stores where I can sell them for 30-50% of their MRP? Also, are their any organizations where I can donate notebooks to? I've got tons, almost 2 boxes filled with fresh/slightly used note books that could be used for somebody who might need it? On those lines, where can I sell/donate e-waste too? Thanks in advance folks. :')

Are hindu converts discriminated by regular Hindus? What do Hindus following casteism think about converts? Do they face discrimination in marriage etc.?

HELP NEEDED! My sister is 35f divorced and single, living in Indore. A few days ago she met a guy on bumble who turned out to be extremely creepy and she ended up blocking his number and everything. He still kept calling her through landline and apologized and everything and says he wants to stay as friends. Now today he calls her up and says that he’s changing apartments and he’s asking a broker to show him around her building complex and that he’s considering moving in around her. Now this is extremely alarming for all of us and any efforts to contact authorities will definitely end up in victim shaming and harassment on her part(we’ve faced this before) We cannot tell our parents because she doesn’t want to tell them right now. I live overseas and apart from contacting as many friends I can locally there isn’t much I can do for preventing her. If anyone has any ideas please help us!

No politics, no news, just how's your daily life going. Let me give some discussion points, let's just have a good discussion this weekend. 1. Are you still working from home or going to office/college/school? 2. How has life changed from the time lockdown was in full swing ,i.e during march -june.. 3. Did you learn any new skill or new recipes or anything during this lockdown? 4. How is your work going? Has the lockdown impacted your company? 5. Any new series or show you have started? Any new novel? 6. Anything else that you want to share Let's lift each other's spirits up, because the current scenario in the nation is pretty damn depressing..

I just read about the recent rape and how they burned the victim to destroy the evidence. It just saddens me. As a female, it's hard to go out in the streets and face all the eve teasing and staring. But when stuff like rape happens, it's scary. I'm honestly scared right now. Scared and disgusted. The government and police that we're supposed to believe in are doing terrible stuff like this. They cut her tongue, broke her spinal cord..and all you do is burn the victim's body?! It's terrible. How can I be proud to live in this country? How can I ever trust anyone? It's heart wrenching. I just hope something will be done about it.. it's just a small rant but I hate to think that something like this even happened.

As the title suggestsI took flight from Hyderabad to MP after that travelled to my home with my sibling in car, unaware of the Quarntine Rule, I had initial contact with my parents. I am in isolation now. I also had dinner with them. What steps could I take next ? Please help

In these times, I suppose it's most prudent to support independent journalism(The Wire/News Laundry) etc but are there any other charities doing extraordinary work out there??

At first I thought they totally support my decision and also agreed to it . But as time passed their attitude towards my studies ( the time I spent on my studies before haven't changed a bit ) has changed . They now taunt me every moment they see . They keep telling me that I don't want to study , keep forcing me indirectly to take science . Study more and gain interest towards science . I try to tell them that I have no interest in science but they don't understand . I decided to take ARTS in 11th when I got promoted to 10th. I have decided to give the CLAT exam after 12th and if succeded will get to good law colleges . But their attitude towards my decision is no good . It makes me question my decision . But I know that I have done my research what to do after 12th . TL;DR : I decided not to take science but arts and my parents are not happy and indirectlyforcing me to take science .

So, I had PCB in 12th and obviously I can't take B. Tech, So I registered for BCA, now this BCA course is in Data Science and its some industry based idr, but Im just anxious now if I'll get jobs or not, etc. I started studying DSA and stuff and I am gonna work on my skills in 3 years. But it's just giving me anxiety. I also registered for IIT online degree thing just in case... I just want an opinion/roadmap/story to make most in 3 years or idk... p.s: im gonna ask in indianAcademia so please don't link me there...

Hello guys, Survey link: [https://forms.gle/DqshfnBYbwrwjLvq7](https://forms.gle/DqshfnBYbwrwjLvq7) This might seem macabre, but please hear me out. I am curious to know your thoughts about assisted suicide / Euthanasia. Passive euthanasia is legal in India under very strict guidelines ( the patient must be in a vegetative state and must consent in a will, etc), but personally, I feel it should be legal for more cases. I know of many families where someone is conscious and mentally in good condition, but in terrible pain and would sincerely like to end it all. There are also countless families, where a peaceful death is the best option for everyone, but it is not discussed because it is taboo. ​ * Do you think Indians are too conservative, avoid discussions about death, and do 'whatever it takes' to prolong life even at the expense of the huge pain and suffering for the victim? * Do you think active Euthanasia and assisted suicide should be encouraged in all countries? * Do you think 'RIGHT TO LIFE' should be extended to include 'RIGHT TO CHOOSE LIFE'? I have prepared an anonymous survey to know the general consensus. Would you great if you could participate in this discussion either through the survey, or through this post comments. Survey link: [https://forms.gle/DqshfnBYbwrwjLvq7](https://forms.gle/DqshfnBYbwrwjLvq7) Thank you for your time.

Like parmesan, feta or gouda? Are they good quality? And do they deliver it properly or is there chance it will spoil?

Tata altroz EV seems to be really interesting if they are able to provide even 250 kilometres off range in single charge. In Tata nexon advertise range is 312 km but daily users say they only get 200 to 180 km in single charge. The difference between Tata nexon XZA Plus (o) diesel automatic dual tone ( ₹15,37,737) and XZ plus EV (₹15,86,246) is only ₹48,509 . In Maharashtra you get 1 lakh rupees subsidy from State Government and 1.5 lakh rupees income tax deduction from central government. If altroz EV came with similar price difference and subsidies. 10 lakh after subsidy would be really interesting. What do you guys think?? My daily average usage is 28 kilometres per day . (Got data from Google maps timeline).

Background - I was looking for suggestions on what to buy on flipkart or amazon. I realized there's no clear sub to which I can post such questions. r/askindia is pretty much dead (just 2000 subscribers, not very active). I don't think such trivial, generic questions are allowed here. What are my options?

Hello, My mother works at Central School (Kendriya Vidyalaya) and she has been assigned election duty in Bihar’s election this year. She is 59 years old and lives with my dad who is 65. She suffers from gloucoma, has high BP from time to time (used to take medication everyday in the years past) and also has had some nerve disorders (vertigo) in the past. My dad has suffered from migraine ever since he was a young adult. He usually gets an episode or so every 2 weeks. Given their medical history and the current pandemic I don’t feel comfortable having my mother be a polling officer in upcoming elections. I live abroad and I don’t have any siblings so there is literally no one to look after them if something happens. Is there a way my mother can be excused from election duty? Anyone have any experience/suggestions? Please advise. Thanks.

Hey, I want to restart my news reading habit, unfortunately right now we can't call for newspaper from outside, so which is the best e-paper resource that has good UI and manageable to read? I want it to look newspaper, like the exact copy of the paper. Also please don't suggest random shitty short news apps, suggest only proper e-paper sources. Thanks

I personally would love to have only the music of Vande Mataram for 30 seconds then the music of Saare Jahaan se Achha for the next 30 minutes after 10 seconds of silence. Total = 1 minute 10 seconds Significance = Vande mataram: A Sanskrit song representative of the Ancient History of India Saare jahaan se accha: An Urdu song representative of medieval history 10 seconds of silence: Pure silence, representative of the British rule and the horrors of partition

Okay so this happened last week. My aircon was acting weird so I called the repairman to fix it. He suggested that I refill the gas (freon/r22) as it was leaking from my aircon. As they proceeded to fix it, he let out the remaining gas from my aircon in my room itself and it was weird smelling. I inhaled it for like 5 mins as I didn’t want to leave the room unattended. Should I be worried? Is freon/r22 dangerous?

Recent threads on Byju's and whitehatjr, got me thinking. What stops these companies from bribing/giving some money to teachers who prepare question papers? And making them put questions that came in these apps in exams? Students/Parents are bound to notice it, which will increase their popularity and gain even more subscribers? May be not same questions, but pretty similar questions..

This is definitely a rant and open for discussion. The Amount of videos posted on Netflix india in hindi is just crazy. In their entire playlist of over 200+ videos, I saw may be 10 to 15 in languages other than hindi. I would like to hear non hindi speaking folks thoughts as well.

hey, i was wondering if we can gather support and make #DLM and #DalitLivesMatter trending on twitter and make it the topic of news online and offline. would love some support (:

I am currently completing my final year in BA (hons.) Psychology. With GATE introducing the XH (humanities and social sciences) paper which includes psychology, (1) would it be a good idea to apply for it? And more importantly (2) what are some good sources to get more information on the GATE XH paper (maybe subreddits or links to articles, etc.)? Also, (3) is there a way to get extra help for the General Aptitude (GA) and Reasoning and Comprehension (B1) portion of the exam (books?). Thank you!

Hi, I have a question about Dunzo or any other online delivery apps. When a shop gets onboard on the dunzo app, how does shop add their huge inventory to dunzo system? I mean do they add those one by one manually or dunzo set them up for them? Or do they have some another system that does that?

If the entire value of a stamped paper goes to the government, then why doesn't the government sell them? Like postage stamps sold at post offices. Currently we have to visit a private vendor to get a stamped paper.

**Backstory** \- I was traveling inter state and had recharged my Fastag from 200 to 400. The journey entailed tolls were 350 rupees so I thought I was sorted. It turns out my bank (Kotak) has this weird condition of Rs 200 as minimum balance, effectively reducing my available balance to 200. And so, the inevitable happened - I crossed the last toll (Rs 125) with Rs 180 as balance, and got flagged as Low Balance. The goons hired by the Toll operator forced me to pay penalty of Rs 125 in addition to the toll fee. My point is Fastags already have something like a Security Deposit. Why do they then call this value (Rs 200) as my 'balance' when I cant really use it?! Also, it is nowhere written clearly that one needs to maintain the 200 rupees at all times. The amount should really be called as another variant of security deposit, since that is what it really ends up becoming. TLDR - Didn't realize minimum balance has to be maintained in Fastag, had to pay penalty. Don't agree with bank's wording on maintaining this 'minimum balance' as it is very vague.

I'm a bit awkward while meeting strangers, and this gets worse when I'm meeting girls my age (18). How do I greet different people?
