TRUTH BE TOLD

It is the BJP that fucked our happiness, be it Vajpayee or Modi The Citizenship quandary was created by the BJP in 2004, when they brought in the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2003 (officially labeled Act 6 of 2004). Introduced by L.K. Advani, who was the Union Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister at the time. The 2003/2004 law completely shifted the legal landscape in massive ways: Previously, if you were born in India and at least one parent was an Indian citizen, you were a citizen. The 2004 law added a strict caveat: you only get citizenship by birth if one parent is a citizen AND the other is not an illegal migrant. The law explicitly disqualifies a child if one parent is an illegal migrant, the child does not automatically inherit the citizenship of their legal Indian parent. The restriction doesn't just apply to birth. Under Section 5 (Citizenship by Registration) and Section 6 (Citizenship by Naturalization), the law explicitly states that "illegal migrants" can...

PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION VS PRESIDENT'S APPOINTMENT ORDER

  Military officers are awarded the President's commission, what is it for IAS/IPS? For IAS, IPS, and IFS (the All-India Services), the direct equivalent is the Presidential Appointment Order. While military officers receive a "commission" that legally authorizes them to command troops and wield violent force under the state's command, civil servants receive an official Appointment Letter issued in the name of the President of India, making them Gazetted Officers. Just like military officers, IAS and IPS officers are appointed by the President of India under the authority of the Constitution (specifically Article 311 and Article 312). Their names are published in the Gazette of India, which is why they are called "Gazetted Officers." The main difference being, Commissioned officers have RANKS, Civil servants/Police officers do not have RANKS, they only have appointments. Military Ranks are awarded for life and retained even after retirement UNLESS withdrawn ...

AMERICAN JUDEO-CHRISTIAN MORONS

Ted Cruz says Christians have a biblical mandate to support the government of Israel led by Benjamin Netanyahu. In the bible originally it was for Abraham(Abram), God speaking directly to him Genesis 12:3 (The Covenant with Abraham) "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 27:29 & Numbers 24:9 (Passed down to Jacob/Israel) The specific phrasing "May those who bless you be blessed and those who curse you be cursed" is later spoken directly over Jacob by his father Isaac (Genesis 27:29). Point to note is that God did not pass it to Jacob/Israel, it was Issac who said it for his own son. Jacob is Given the Name "Israel": In Genesis 32:28, after Jacob wrestles with a mysterious divine figure, God changes his name to Israel (which means "he struggles with God"). "Struggles" is definitely a softer, more sanitized translation that modern English B...

IT TOOK 7 HOURS

  An exceptionally powerful moment occurred on August 14, 2025, on the eve of the Solemnity of the Assumption. Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, the Archbishop of Bologna and head of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, led a deeply moving prayer vigil at the ruins of the Church of Casaglia, located in the peace park of Monte Sole di Marzabotto near Bologna, Italy. The choice of the Church of Casaglia was intensely deliberate. Between September 29 and October 5, 1944, Nazi SS troops tore through the area in what became known as the Marzabotto massacre, murdering roughly 770 civilians—predominantly women and children. The historic church itself was burned down. By standing in those exact ruins to mourn a modern conflict, the vigil tied the horrors of past war crimes directly to the ongoing tragedy in the Middle East. Cardinal Zuppi, alongside dozens of members of his diocese and a local monastic community, took turns reading from a staggering 469-page document. The list intended to honor every sin...

PECULIARITIES OF EVOLVING LANGUAGE AND ITS USAGE

The word খাঁকি (Khanki or Khankshabaji) is a highly offensive derogatory term in contemporary Bengali slang, primarily used as a misogynistic slur roughly equivalent to "prostitute" or "whore." It is not even a Bangla word. Its etymological roots are quite distinct from its modern vulgar usage, tracing back to Persian and Urdu origins related to monasticism and household spaces. The deepest root of the word traces back to the Persian word Khanqah, which refers to a building designed specifically for gatherings of a Sufi brotherhood and is a place for spiritual retreat and character reformation (similar to a hospice or monastery). From Khanqah, the word evolved in Persian and Urdu into Khangi (or Khangan), which literally translates to "of the house" or "domestic/private" (derived from Khan, meaning house). In the context of 18th and 19th-century Indian subcontinent—particularly during the late Mughal and British colonial eras—the term began to be...

THE AMERICAN GENOCIDE IN PHILIPINES THAT NOBODY TAKS ABOUT

Image
  The very first overseas war that the USA fought was the American-Spanish wars, starting in the Spanish colony of Philippines The term "Filipino Genocide" typically refers to the mass casualties, widespread atrocities, and extreme devastation inflicted u pon the Filipino population by U.S. forces during the Philippine-American War (1899–1902) and its subsequent counterinsurgency campaigns. While mainstream Western history long downplayed the conflict as a minor "insurrection," modern historians, post-colonial scholars, and Filipinos increasingly view the brutal pacification campaigns as meeting the criteria for war crimes, and in some arguments, systemic genocide. The Americans first betrayed the Filipino guerilla which helped them against the Spanish. Under the 1898 Treaty of Paris, the United States purchased the Philippines from Spain for 20 million USD without consulting the Filipino people. President William McKinley instituted a policy of "Benevolent Ass...

HARDEEP PURI LIAR

  "It's a matter of Pride that Domestic LPG prices in India are significantly lower than in the United States and Canada." — Hardeep Singh Puri, Petroleum Minister FIRSTLY: Neither US nor Canada have the concept of LPG 14.2 kg bottles like India. North America, domestic gas infrastructure is completely different: 1. Piped Natural Gas: The vast majority of urban and suburban homes in the US and Canada use piped natural gas directly from utility companies for cooking and heating, billed per unit of energy (therms or cubic feet). 2. Bulk Propane Tanks: Rural homes that rely on LPG (which is called Propane in North America) use massive, permanent backyard tanks (typically 250 to 500 gallons) that are filled by fuel trucks a few times a year. 3. Portable Cylinders: Small, portable cylinders are used almost exclusively for outdoor BBQ grills, patio heaters, or recreational vehicles (RVs). If a household uses propane as a primary utility from a bulk supplier, the average residen...

LORD'S THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO ANY LORD OR NOBLEMAN

Image
The famous Lord's Cricket Ground, home to Middlesex County Cricket Club and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), in London was not founded by any Lord or nobleman. The ground is named after a wine merchant and Cricketer Thomas Lord. Interestingly, the current Lord's ground is also not the original ground. The modern Lord's Cricket Ground in St John's Wood, London, is actually the third location to bear the name. 1. Lord's Old Ground (1787–1810) Location: Dorset Fields in Marylebone (where Dorset Square stands today). Lord leased the land and staged the very first match here in May 1787 between the White Conduit Club and Middlesex. Shortly after, the members of the club formed the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), making this their first official home. However, as London expanded, the landlord raised the rent, forcing Lord to look elsewhere. 2. Lord's Middle Ground (1811–1813) Location: North Road, Marylebone (near the Regent's Park canal area). Lord relocated the...

WHATS IN A NAME OR SURNAME??

Australian team has a cricketer named Josh Inglis. Joshua Patrick Inglis is an English-born Australian cricketer The surname Inglis has a fascinating, slightly ironic etymological history. It is a classic example of an ethnonym—a surname given to someone to indicate their nationality or ethnic origin. It derives from the Old English word 'Englisc' (meaning "English"). In the northern dialects of Middle English and in Lowland Scots, the word developed a characteristic pronunciation and spelling, evolving into Inglis (or Ingles). The most interesting aspect of the Inglis surname is that it is overwhelmingly Scottish in its historical distribution, not English. During the Middle Ages, the borders between Scotland and England were highly fluid, and many English speakers or people of English descent moved north into the Scottish Lowlands. To the native Gaelic-speaking Scots, or even to the established Lowland Scots, these newcomers were distinct because of their speech and...

ISIS AND ISIS

Image
  INTERESTING.......... Mossad’s full Hebrew name is "HaMossad LeModi'in U'LeTafkidim Meyuchadim" (The Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations). Mossad in Hebrew means "Institute" thus the secret service name shortened to Mossad. המוסד למודיעין ולתפקידים מיוחדים (Right-to-Left) המוסד: Ha-Mossad (The Institute) למודיעין: Le-Modi'in (for Intelligence) ולתפקידים: U'Le-Tafkidim (and for Operations) מיוחדים: Meyuchadim (Special) (Note Modi's name in Mossad 😄) Mossad is also known as ISIS The ISIS abbreviation comes from a British legacy. In early English-language intelligence literature, declassified Western diplomatic cables, and historical books published from the 1970s through the 1990s, foreign agencies frequently translated Mossad simply as the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service. British MI-6 is officially known as "Secret Intelligence Service". Like the United Kingdom's MI6, which is formally called the Secret Intellig...

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

  Reading is a town in Berkshire, England, 38 miles west of London. Only that Reading is not "read" as in reading but "red-ing" as in "Red light" Berkshire is not "Berk" neither is it "Shayar(as in poet)", it is "Bark" (as in bhow bhow by kutta) and Shire as in "shirt" In England, a shire is a traditional term for a county. For example Yorkshire: The shire administered from York. Lancashire: The shire administered from Lancaster. Oxfordshire: The shire administered from Oxford. Gloucestershire: The shire administered from Gloucester. Bedfordshire: The shire administered from Bedford Hampshire: The shire administered from Southampton (Historically "Hamtun") Out of the 39 historic counties of England, more than half use this suffix. So where is the "Berk" of Berkshire county? Unlike Yorkshire (York) or Oxfordshire (Oxford), there is no town or city called "Berk." Instead, the "Berk...
