Minorities in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan

Has the population of Hindus declined from 22% to 8% in Bangladesh? Yes. Why Hindus declined in Bangladesh? The Hindu population in Bangladesh declined from 22% to 9% from 1951–2011. The Hindu population has been growing at a slower rate than adherents of other religions, resulting in a decline in their relative share in the national population. Hindus have lower fertility, higher mortality and higher international out-migration rates than Muslims. According to this analysis, between 1989 and 2016,  54%  of lower Hindu growth may be attributable to international out- migration ;  41%  is attributable to  lower fertility , and  5 % is attributable to  higher mortality . T he contribution of migration has declined over time and in last 20 years, lower fertility of Hindus was the primary contributing factor (over 70%) to their declining share of the country’s population.  1

BJP is anti-poor and incompetent

- Income levels are falling, even when they say electricity, gas, roads, toilets are being built - proportion of rural malnutrition has increased - Government is manipulating economic data - No data on Covid deaths, Migrant labor - National Statistical Office experts are fired - International Institute of Population Studies report contradicts Govt. data on open defecation, etc... - Growth rate is irrelevant because there is very high Inflation. RBI has said "inflation is high" - Deteriorating in Global Hunger Index; criticisms of "faulty methodology" are not correct; Govt. extending free Rations for 82 crore people for 5 years proves there is a "situation" - In last budget, we see that allocated fund for MNREGA was used up in first 6 months; there is a feeling of hopelessness; Govt. trying to filter down MNREGA recipients using Bureaucratic hurdles like Aadhar-linking, etc... - India has one of the highest youth unemployment in the world, at 24%; we are al...

Muslims are Socially and Economically Marginalized/Segregated in India

Image
Summary - Muslims (upper caste and lower caste) have lower economic standing than Hindu OBCs and are closer to SCs -  The difference in socio-economic outcomes are dependant on Segregationist Governance. Because here we see that when all social groups gain in education with time, Upper Caste Muslims experienced  negative growth in Uttar Pradesh . Contrast this with the relatively large growth rate in Kerala (where the culture is less segregationist). -  Given such socio-economic depravity, one would expect Muslims to get the same level of Scholarships as SCs atleast. But, we see that Muslims are now getting lowest scholarships among all social groups. This is due to Anti-Muslim Government policies. -  Muslims live in segregated ghettos. The level of segregation is comparable to that of Black people in the US (who were/are subjected to decades of racial segregation). -  Muslim ghettos get much lesser public services - Schools, Hospitals, Water, etc.. -  Segr...

How is Israel an apartheid state?

  Let’s start with Israel’s medical apartheid during the COVID pandemic. Israel has continuously excluded Palestinians from its vaccination programs, claiming that it’s the PA’s responsibility to vaccinate them. This is denied by article 56 of the 4th Geneva convention which clearly states that the occupying power (Israel) has the duty of ensuring preventative measures against the spread of contagious diseases and epidemics. So as the occupying power in the WB and Gaza, Israel must vaccinate the citizens there. Don’t want to vaccinate Palestinians? Withdraw and stop ruling over them. Next, demographics. Israel is built on Jewish supremacy, and that wouldn’t be possible without establishing Jewish majority. In Jerusalem, Israeli authorities have placed a 30% cap on the allowed Palestinian population, issuing thousands of “eviction” and demolition orders while encouraging Jewish immigration to Jerusalem. Since 1967, Israel has revoked the residency of 250,000 Palestinians. Don’t get ...

Why Palestine is right? : why Israel has no right to exist.

Index: Basic Story Is Israel a "settler-colony"? Is Gaza a concentration camp? Are Israelis just refugees from the Holocaust? Did the Zionists steal Palestinian Land and properties? Is this a conflict between Jews and Muslims? Israel is a US puppet? What about Hamas? Isn't it just terrorists? They kill innocents? Is Israel an apartheid state? Did the Palestinians leave in 1947 so that Arab nations could wipe out Israel? Do Palestinians don't want "any" solution except the annihilation of Israel? Did the Arabs start the 6 day war to annihilate Israel because they hated them? Did Palestine exist? in 1900s? Did Israel exist, in 1919? Is there a future to this? Whose responsibility? Basic Story: Palestinians Muslims, Jews, Christians were living happily in Palestine. Then a bunch of Ashkenazi Jews (Zionists) from Europe came into Israel with a specific plan. The plan was to wipe out the Palestinians and create their own ethnostate. These Zionists started buildin...

Capitalism leads to the misallocation of intellectual resources

 Talented people, data scientists, software engineers who worked on honing their math and physics skills during their high school days, after studying/project work-ing on deep learning, IoT, etc.. go to work in the advertisement industry where they find more ways to make people buy stuff they don't need/want. Instead fields like healthcare and natural sciences lag back due to the unavailability of financial incentives. Such is the logic of the invisible hand of the free market. Now we just wait until there is some money making in the healthcare industry to make people buy things that they don't need, that these people start working on it.

Adani, Ambani - How they steal India's wealth to become rich

 'Polyester prince' and 'Coal king': comprador bourgeoisie at its zenith Manish Azad ''Such is the story of a big India firm which through its faithful service to the British rulers went from 'rags to riches' and came to have diverse roles- the roles of indigenous bankers with close links with foreign capital, treasurers to the governments, merchants, landlords, industrialist and owner of mines.'' [''Suniti Kumar Ghosh'' The Indian Big Bourgeoisie: Its Genesis, Growth and Character p-190] The above example referring to pre-independence India is still relevant today; we only need to substitute ‘British rulers’ with ‘Indian rulers’. One recent example will clarify it further: Washington Post published a detailed report on December 9, 2022, about the Godda project of Gautam Adani. [https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/09/india-coal-gautam-adani-godda/] The report states that the electricity generated at the ‘Godda Power Plant...
