First explain why Sikhi is hemorrhaging Khalsa to isai.

Or why the panth is silent on sikh girls being abducted and converted in that brother monotheistic entity Pakistan.

Then talk big.

PErhpas the farmer said 'gaantht' (to rhyme with can't) which means knot (as a knot in a thread). The connection with chakka could be the spinning wheel (Gandhian one, used to spin cotton into threads). Maybe a knot in the thread is a way of saying something is off/awry.

Mamma filing papers for RS a sure sign of what is going to happen in 2024 elections.
She is quitting the elections to save herself from the ignominy of losing the family borough like the son!
She is pushing daughter to take the fall!!
Hope BJP select an ideal foil
Wonder if Maneka or Varun(but he has a biecome a bit of an woke and fallen out of reckoning) could be resurrected.

While one could say that the Congress has sought to seize the chance to reverse their fortunes in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024 but in 2010, when the UPA bloc was ruling, the Congress had dismissed the Swaminathan Report, saying it could "distort the market."

BJP's Prakash Javadekar, in a question to the Ministry of Agriculture, had demanded to know “if the government had accepted the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission regarding calculation of remunerative prices to be paid to the farmers".

In its reply, the then Ministry of Agriculture had stated that “the National Commission of Farmers under the Chairmanship of Prof. MS Swaminathan had recommended that the Minimum Support Price (MSP) should be at least 50 per cent more than the weighted average cost of production".

"This recommendation, however, has not been accepted by the Government because MSP is recommended by the Commission for Agriculture Costs and Prices (CACP) based on objective criteria and considering variety of relevant factors. Hence, prescribing an increase if a at least 50 per cent on cost may distort the market. A mechanical linkage between MSP and cost of production may be counter-productive in some cases," the response added.

50,000 B’deshis & Rohingyas had encroached Railway land and were issued eviction notice.

But in December 2022, the Supreme Court of India stopped the removal of over 4,000 illegal structures, in #Haldwani station.

On 8 February 2024, a mosque and an illegal madrasa was demolished. Illegals attacked with stones, katta pistol and swords.

They burnt a police station, injured 300 policemen, burned police vehicle, shot dead a Hindu youth and threw his dead body on railway line.

#SamajwadiParty leader Mateen Siddiqui’s brother Javed was arrested for inciting violence.

Main conspirator Abdul Malik nabbed from Delhi.

#Swaminathan report was released in 2006. Manmohan Singh govt refused to implement it. Why? Read below

National Conference President Farooq Abdullah on Thursday announced that his party will contest alone on all seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

In yet another setback for the INDIA alliance ahead of the polls, he also hinted that he may re-join the NDA alliance in the future.

There are several districts that border Hindu majority himachal/Jammu. One borders Haryana/Rajasthan. Do they want to be associated with mountains or the desert. Or are they content with the jungle?

Retraining of farm labourers is not helpful. The land owning jats have ensured there is no rival employer in the state, other than agriculture and government. Both of course are jatt fiefdoms.


The labourers need to demand fair wages. In panjab they live like serfs while the maaliks drive in rovers. There is no reason why they shouldn’t be paid fair wages. About 10-100 times what it is now.

Bhappa Sikhs are few in panjab but they are mostly shop keepers. They tend to be more studious and quite diligent. They should have encouragement to seek administrative positions.

I was perhaps more interested in the article to the left (not fully readable in the photo), written by someone with the same name as the UN chief. I wasn't able to find it online.

If someone has it, please post on the "India-US relations" thread.

Desimericans: Too few Indians get US citizenship. Why & how this must change

February 14, 2024, 8:39 AM IST TOI Edit in TOI Editorials, Edit Page, India, TOI


Times of India’s Edit Page team comprises senior journalists with wide-ranging interests who debate and opine on the news and issues of the day.

To most this bit of news seemed ho-hum – 59k Indians got US citizenship last year, per USCIS. Mexicans beat Indians. Filipinos were a close third. Lots of Indians live and work in US. Waves of Mexicans get there. Philippines used to be an American colony. So, no big surprises in US citizenship figures, right? Wrong. The surprise for India is – or should be – that so few Indians became Americans in 2023. Mexico (population: 129 million) comfortably left India (pop: 1.4 billion) behind. And Philippines (pop: 112 million) came close. Indians should by far be the largest group getting American citizenship every year. Here’s why and how.

European, non-European | America, as we know it, came about thanks to ruthless land-grab and a fair amount of ethnic cleansing by European colonialists. Those nasty bits done, slave trade added to the list, European settlers went on to found what became the world’s most powerful country ever. But non-European immigrants were almost always needed in a vast country with a dynamic economy. And from 1960s, when the de facto, whites-preferred immigration policy was changed, non-whites arrived in millions. In 1960, 75% of foreign-born Americans were Europeans. In 2018, that figure was just 11%. Indians were part of this dramatic change – but never in numbers that did justice.


Density is destiny | Thanks in part to immigrants, America isn’t as badly placed in terms of falling birth rates and aging population as some other rich countries. But population density per sq km in US, world’s third most populous country, is still just 37, far lower than UK’s 280, and a small fraction of India’s 485. America is full of empty spaces, states like Wyoming, Montana, two Dakotas. India is full of industrious people. Even those who don’t have good college degrees can turn small opportunities into thriving enterprises. Think of Indians manning Italy’s famous cheesemakers. Imagine hundreds of thousands of Indians in, say, Montana – it will become a powerhouse economy. America’s capitalrich, resource-rich, technology-rich economy needs lots of people if the country is to retain its global pole position. India should be the main source. India will benefit, of course. Not just more remittances, and higher knowledge and skills diffusion. Indians will become a numerically powerful bloc in US, a voice and votes that can’t be ignored by American politicians.

Minister for immigration | To become America’s biggest source country for all kinds of talent India should put someone in charge of this. GOI should have a minister for immigration. His job will be to make sure many more Indians can legally immigrate to US. He should liaise with US govt and US states, armed with data on skills India can supply and work America needs doing, now and in near future. Economic logic is the best antidote to prejudice and bureaucracy. Govts of Haryana, UP recently launched efforts to send people to Israel, which needs workers. GOI should aim for a national, more sophisticated version of this. When millions more Indians become Americans, it’s good news for India and America.
