He has been the PM For last 11 years. Your so called labelling doesn't stand scrutiny. India is prospering, with problems, but prospering for every religion sect and culture
It doesn't. But judicial scrutiny under a government clearly opposed to him does clear the mislabelling. And how does it even help the discussion here?
Impartiality factors less when the entire Federal government apparatus is used to investigate some one for more than a decade. Also, by that reasoning should we start believing in the principle "guilty before proven otherwise"?
> It does help the discussion here, the comment correctly points out how this literal 1984-esque action plays into the current regime's totalitarian tendencies which go way before the 2002 pogrom and of course their parent org, RSS which is a whole other can of worms.
Who decided that those riots were a progrom? That term itself is misleading.
I am not fan of this step but the problems it's designed to tackle are huge in India and it's very much an option unless there are solid alternatives.

No, it was a 3 member "Special Investigation Team" and not the "entire federal apparatus" that acquitted him. [0]
"According to R. B. Sreekumar, police officers who followed the rule of law and helped prevent the riots from spreading were punished by the Modi government. They were subjected to disciplinary proceedings and transfers with some having to leave the state. Sreekumar also claims it is common practice to intimidate whistleblowers and otherwise subvert the justice system, and that the state government issued "unconstitutional directives", with officials asking him to kill Muslims involved in rioting or disrupting a Hindu religious event."

Hundreds of historians and scholars. [2]

There are students jailed from 2020 without a trail for protesting against CAA-NRC with the explicit purpose of a "chilling effect" against dissent. People are constantly jailed for simple memes, "hurting religious sentiments" and other vapid reasons on a daily basis and you think this is an end to the means type of situation?
If I had to wager a guess, you don't live in India, advocating for oppression you don't have to go through.
I love this song, but it wouldn't be nearly as perfect without the slight hint of irony ("efficiently dangerous") and the SEGFAULT at the end. Things I feel "Write in C" is dearly missing.
Some day I will do a internet deep dive which generation of Americans shifted to premade mixed and stopped cooking things from scratch. Nothing wrong with that, just different especially in grandma generation.
Generally it's attributed to the time around WW2, which for Americans included the effects of rationing as well as being exposed to prepackaged foods while deployed. Throw in a bunch of marketing and nationalism and the breadcrumbs start to line up. https://www.sciencehistory.org/stories/magazine/from-the-fro...
If you really go down the rabbit hole, you start to see how many of the foods that baby boomers grew up on were first fed widely to the parents during the war.
In Indian epic of Mahabharata, there is story of Abhimanyu who learns how to defeat a military strategy in the womb, while his father was telling it to his mother. Which he later uses in epic war.

Gay committed plagiarism but didn't "steal" her ideas or fabricate quotes to support them. She absolutely should've resigned and is unfit to lead an academic institution but falsifying cancer research data is on a whole other level than lifting quotes.
Prepare for downvotes and rebuttals if you say anything that even remotely disparages Harvard University on HN.
Personally, I think it's quite scandalous that Harvard gave the world's most famous sex-trafficker his own office. I mean, that's the last person on Earth you'd want to give access to a steady supply of young girls and boys, but that's exactly what Harvard did.
And I've been told that we're not supposed to hold Harvard accountable because nobody knew what Epstein was doing... The heads of one of the world's most prestigious universities were all too naive to realize what was going on. Perhaps they thought the girls at his parties were just really friendly? Or perhaps they don't want to admit to anything they'd be legally liable for?
