Why is India embarrassing herself?

[coffee_cup]

You don't want to ask anything seriously and this is another troll thread to do with the usual cyclical bad spike in relations, this time it's about the alleged surgical strike.

I've trolled plenty but I was thinking its about time we graduated from trolling and name calling to at least trying to have a real conversation with the other side, we don't have to agree but at least we can shoot for a valuable exchange, lately every thread here turns into a shouting/trolling match which can be fun but it gets old, its also foolish because instead of cutting through the media noise with direct interaction, we add to it.

So, to the extent possible, how about we try to not troll and not engage or feed the trolls ?

I find what Indian media and govt is doing is extremely embarrassing. And I want to know, if Indians feel the same.

I understand the religious bit, no issues with having religious beliefs and keeping them to yourself.

My problem starts when India creates all the hullablo of "Sir G Kal strike in Pakistan", in the media, UN etc and when confronted for proof, simply say, "hey, look those were done by invisible Hanuman army, so stop asking for proof. Because I believe in that"

Or lay absurd claims to inventions such as Aeroplanes were invented not by Wright brothers but Vedic people some 7000 years ago, therefore, India should be recognized as official inventor of Airplanes.

See the point?

That is plain embarrassing, especially coming from supposdly "genious people".

Surgical strikes happened. We know it your army knows it. Whether you chose to believe or not is your prerogative.

And you are mixing the rest. UN didn't ask for proof. Our media also didn't ask for proof. Proof was asked by some 'netas' in their political capacity. Or entire media is onboard with our narrative. However, you can milk the statements of some of our political leaders to your advantage. Which is understandable.

As far as hanuman is concerned, their is a small section in Ramayan, in which He goes to Ravan's lanka to despatch a message. Parrikar made this comparison in jest and which was addressed to a small gathering and meant for domestic consumption.
He didnt say because i believe in 'that' so stop asking for proof. You need to look at the clip directly rather than from opinion from hearsay.

Regarding aeroplanes and wright brothers, remember our planes are as real as your jinns and that local maulvi doing kala jaadu. If you believe in them, you believe in all my friend

As I have written earlier, nominal GDP is the international benchmark, approved and acknowledged by IMF, WB, ADP and all the international financial institutions...purchasing power parity is just a parity. Like suppose a haircut in India say cost about 50 Rs, but since it costs 15 dollar in US it must be equal to 1500 Rs. worth of service, Pak rupee rate here.

So PPP is just a comparative tool, nobody gives weight to it.

nominal GDP is great. It is based on currency exchange rates. a lot of countries manipulate exchange rates. that drove the PPP methodology

I think I understand your point. You are trying to say, what is the point in being nr. 10 or 5 or 1 on paper, if more than 1/3rd of your population lives under poverty line.

Yes there are few hundred super rich people in India who are creating those shiny numbers, but ask a cycle-rikshaw puller if he gives a shyt about that.

Right?

the Indian media is a joke, last I checked, their counterparts in Pakistan were doing their best to top them, and had already drawn level, they might even have taken the lead but I'm not keeping up with it... enough

No, our army doesn't know about it. Thats the point. There were no camps whatsoever destroyed etc.
Yes there were some border skirmishes, but since when they are called "SirGKal" strikes?

You can keep repeating a lie, it will not become a truth.

And then your FM says, they don't know about it because an army of Hanumans did that.

And Ghaaswami and your media starts to toe that line.

Don't you feel embarrassed about that?

They have two sayings in Punjabi meaning almost similiar,

Kasabi nu jud sheshay da glass labaya, o paani pee pee marr gya
Khusryaan de haan munda hoya unhaan chum chum maar dita

India after a long time had a misshapen, a travesty of Nationalism erupt out of mob mentality and they have lost their minds over it.

No I don't feel embarrassed about any of that. Navratri are ON. Auspicious time. We are all happy here. No embarrassments

However I do feel embarrassed about indulging with a child on a serious matter. So my friend, I am happy to leave. Carry on with your thread.

Why?

Simple... to escape Reality. Self deception comulflaged with exaggerated self worth...this is how.

When more than 70% live life without any hope of ever breaking free from the cycle of endless misery...what any cynical explotative class does is create games...

Just like the Romans did... give them games and entertainment to forget their eternal missery...

Tragic truth... but the ruing elite has it good and will keep exploiting these helpless and hopeless masses...

Will it ever end... sadly...NO.

 

[india2050]

India position keeps on changing from 7th to 10th, nominal GDP...purchasing power parity is just a parity.

Not sure where you got this from,india is currently 7th ..and assuming current growth , in the next three years it will overtake UK and France to become 5th largest ..In ten years , the 4th largest economy , in 13 years the 3rd largest economy

Population has never been any criteria consider the status of Germany, UK, France, Nordic naytions Srilanka, SINGAPORE, I can go on & on. It is the strength of the people for positive development. Hope you got it..
