In India, the benefits of higher prices is rarely passed to the farmers. middlemen/ brokers hoard prodcuts and make hay.
Rice is one of the few crops where the govt sets a Minimum Selling Price (MSP) and farmer prefer it knowing their crop will atleast get them some returns. for most of the agri products, there is no MSP, and farmers have no way of knowing whether the crop they've borrowed money to plant and have slaved to grow & reap will fetch them any money. When even returns are not assured, profits are a distant dream. The financial situation of farmers caused by inconsistent returns is so terrible that almost all farmers are deep in debt and since
the 1970s an estimated 30 Indian farmers have been killing themselves everyday due to debt.
The situation is so dire that as of 2018, the Indian government has not published data on farmer suicides since 2015.
I read the back cover and open the book on a random page and start reading. If that page doesn't make me want to read more, then its not for me.
Now his acts will be even more stupid and attention-seeking.
Neither he nor his followers (called andhbhakts aka blindly faithful ) care for the future of their country or their religion. They enjoy feeling
- righteous for righting (using violence) mythical & imaginary wrongs that they feel (feel, not know) has happened &
- powerful that they can commit any atrocity on the vulnerable and get away without consequences.
Eventual failure of the nation is not his concern (it never has been), if he stops feeding hate & fear to Hindu supremacists they'll likely turn their violence on him.
Yes! That was the word I was looking for!
Thank you.

tl;dr : Caste system is barbaric. Please support laws preventing caste discrimination
India's Constitution is firm about equality for all castes, religions, and genders. But that chafes those in the oppressor castes and patriarchy who derive their identity from the oppressive caste hierarchy. The architect of India's Constitution is Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar who's hated by Brahminism and the patriarchy because 1) he is from the oppressed lower castes 2) he dared to educate himself and he architected the Constitution that forces them to be equal to all others 3) he passed the Hindu Code bill that gave equal rights to Hindu women.
Caste allows a person to wield power over others without earning it, just by being born into a oppressor caste family. Oppressor upper castes call this power 'merit' to demean affirmative action that help a oppressed lower caste person strive for an education or a job. Incidentally, oppressor upper castes love affirmative action in foreign countries which benefit them.
Hinduism is a collection of castes. It's communities are based on caste and it's foundation is the caste system. Caste is hierarchial and almost always there's someone lower on the hierarchy who can be oppressed. The sadism of this makes the person forget that almost always there's someone higher on the hierarchy who can oppress, humiliate, and persecute him. This hierarchial system of oppression is so pervasive that there are sub-castes within a caste which makes every caste itself hierarchial and makes it difficult for people of a caste to unite. In every caste & every subcaste, women are the bottom. This ensures patriarchy is maintained by all castes & subcastes, and gives every frustrated man someone he can punch down to take his anger & frustrations out on. How can any such man who practices hierachial oppression within the confines of his own home take a stand against the hierarchial oppression he suffers from other men out of his home?
Brahmin men are on the very top of the caste pyramid as they authored religious texts on caste and put themselves on top, and their only claim to superiority and excuse for the many cruelties they've created & imposed on everyone else is based on the caste system that they created. Dalits & Adivasis are at the very bottom, and are at the receiving end of every violence and indignity that the oppressor castes come up with.
We have a law to fight casteist oppression and violence against Dalits & Adivasis called the Prevention of Atrocities against SC/ST Act. But those in charge of implementing this law are from the oppressor upper castes. So the law is rarely applied even though caste atrocities abound.
Caste is a barbaric custom and as Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar has rightly said, caste must be annihilated.
Caste-based discrimination, harassment, and oppression is rife among Indians outside India. Laws preventing caste discrimnation, like the one passed in Seattle, are essential to ensuring basic human dignity to all, Pro-Hindu groups oppose these anti-discrimination efforts as being Hinduphobic. Maybe they think Hinduism is casteist persecution?

Too bad his "vision of inclusiveness" isn't seen inside India. In India, his vision is setting Hindu supremacist thugs to engineer communal & ethnic violence across India, ending press freedom, setting Enforcement Directorate+Central Bureau of Investigation + Income Tax after elected non-BJP governments to scare them into collapsing so Adani can profit, setting his troll army after the Chief Justice of India when he fails to kowtow.
Their actions cost people their lives, they should be tried for manslaughter.
He is handsome!

Yes! It absolves men of their responsibility to make their society/community safe and it ensures that if they become a problem then other men will not stop them.
Buckingham was hired by PAE. Amentum didn’t respond to questions from the AP. Leidos Senior Vice President Melissa Lee Dueñas said it conducts background checks on all its employees.
“Our stance on sexual harassment or assault couldn’t be more clear: we have zero tolerance for such behavior,” Dueñas said in an email. “Each case is thoroughly investigated.”
Translates to 1) We thoroughly investigate and hire sexual predators and 2) We say this b.s. to protect our jobs, actually we have zero tolerance for those who complain about sexual harassment.
The report made it clear that those in charge enable sexual predators.
men will apparently just be men.
this thinking removes the sexual harasser's & rapist's responsibility for their crimes and moves it to their gender/DNA.
When criminal conduct is enabled, crime will escalate.

They practice it because those in power in those communities
- benefit from it and
- are descendants of oppressor upper castes who converted to Islam or Christianity . They changed their religion, but refuse to be civilised even though both Islam & Christianity are religions of equality.
Sikhism was created to rebel against Hindu casteism, yet nowadays we can see caste is prominent in Sikhs as well and for the same 2 reasons.

tl;dr : Those who are in positions of power are from the oppressor uppercastes and don't want the oppressed lower castes to be equal to them.

In India, caste is a hereditary classification that every Indian is born into. The system too supports it as legally religion can be changed, but not caste. In the hierarchical caste system, Dalits are considered as belonging to the lowest caste and Brahmins are considered as the highest caste.
Dalits are severely oppressed and treated as inhumanely as possible by the oppressor upper castes. They are subject to a lifetime of ,marginalisation, exclusion and human rights violations. To this day, they are subject to systematic and systemised discrimination, marginalisation, stigma and violence in all its forms.
Caste based crimes like this abound in India and caste-based discrimination is rife even among Indians outside India. A couple of months back in another state Madhya Pradesh, an Adivasi man was urinated on by a Brahmin member of the ruling political party, the BJP.
Laws preventing caste discrimnation, like the one recently passed in Seattle, are essential to ensuing basic human dignity to all, Pro-Hindu groups oppose these anti-discrimination efforts.

A week back in Tamil Nadu, India, a Dalit student was attacked by his fellow students for studying well - https://www.newsclick.in/tn-dalit-student-attacked-studying-well-anti-caste-groups-ring-alarm. A group of high school students broke into his home and hacked him with a sickle.
Harrasing the victim's family who are already dealing with a loss is also not new in India. Most times, if the victim's family files a police case/ lodges an FIR to report the crime, the offendor's family slaps a fake case on them and then the police join in in coercing the victim's family to withdraw their case.

China has released a map declaring Aksai Chin and the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh as part of its territory. Modi will respond to this 'de-escalation' by either keeping mum on it or declaring the map is not wrong.
