Not all of us are racist though. Some natalists will cite reasons like 'mUh rAcE iS dYiNg, MuSt MaKe MoAr!' which only exacerbates the tensions between different races even more. I've seen enough posts to realize that some natalists posing as antinatalists to give /r/antinatalism a bad name. Just take them with a pinch of salt.

No true antinatalist

Yea perhaps you are right English is not my first language and I read the response too quickly and angrily.

Yes, you're right, leave instead of challenging their bullshit. That ought to make this community healthier...

“White monkey”? The only reason you don’t see it as racist is because he’s not black. Why are you animalizing an entire demographic of people based off of one person? According to your definition of racism, you’re guilty

Snow monkey thinks its human

Racism is a system of oppression torwards a specific demographic of people. Him being prejudice and stereotypical is not a system of oppression. It is doing absolutely nothing to the Indian people who are the highest earning and educated in America. Get out of your feelings, some people are just as*holes

Mayos can't be raycist towards us cause raycism is power+prejudice sweaty

So what point are you trying to make? Stereotypes suck, if you can’t see the difference between Indians and African Americans you need to read a history book but that’s besides the point. All stereotypes are not racist and all racism is not stereotypical. The two are not synonymous.

Thank God you won't have children low empathy fricks

An unironic /r/antinatalism user

Wait, so are you, or are you not antinatalist because this seems like you're not.

Yea if being antinatatist is joining a circlejerk of racists then I am not

Most ideologically coherent redditor

this is the dumbest post i've seen. i bet you call it "racist against muslims" when people call out the middle east for throwing gay people off buildings. if anything, you're actually the racist one here. by calling it racist to call out the caste system/child marriage, you're actually technically making the claim that being indian itself involves the caste system/child marriage. which devalues the ethnicity as a whole.

Those mayo monkeys would be though

The Express Tribune quoted sources as saying that in line with the decision of NSC, the Afghan government was told that Kabul will have to neutralise the TTP threat as promised in the Doha agreement as well as bilateral meetings between the two countries.

To avoid any deterioration in ties, Pakistan persuaded the Afghan Taliban behind closed doors.

The Afghan Taliban government, which relies heavily on Pakistan’s crucial support, was informed that the failure to address the TTP issue would only complicate bilateral ties between the two neighbours, forcing Islamabad to halt cooperation.

Sources, however, told the newspaper that the Afghan Taliban government was adamant that Pakistan must pursue talks with the TTP.

Sources said the Afghan Taliban in private meetings were willing to address Pakistan’s concerns but were reluctant to take any action against them because of their close links with the TTP.

Dalkhors BTFO

In the last three months alone, the TTP, which wants to impose Islamic Sharia law across Pakistan, has claimed responsibility for over 150 attacks against the security forces.

I have this nagging feeling that the military establishment is taking a back seat EVEN from the taliban front and letting them wreak havoc so that people feel reminded of the fear in the post musharraf/PPP government era. Like they’ll let the TTP do their shit and harm innocent lives and then swoop in with mission “Xyz” to eliminate the TTP presence and go down hard on them so that people start trusting and respecting Lumber 1 again.

I don't think so. We just don't have the money to fight them. It costs $26k dollars to fly an F-16 for an hr. you fly 5 and you are talking about $100k+ just for an hr of flight. with $4.5 billion dollars in reserves and no sight of more loans, the last thing establishment wants is open a frontier. they are doing small scale operations where they kill 5-6 terrorists here and there but nothing like operation zarb e azb is going to happen in 2023-24 or until they get some money in reserves.

No, it's because of people like Imran Khan and similar sympathizers in establishment who think TTP are Naraz bhais who need to be talked and coddled that gets us this result. Imran Khan was boasting about settling tens of thousands of them in Pakistan.

He actually referred to their war as 'Jihad'. he literally said the jihad word for ttp.

But they were and now we also know that India had a large role to play in mobilising other terror elements within the country (sheltered by the establishment of course, go figure) to ensure said wave of terror remained steady.

Khan sb wanted to welcome them with open arms and settle them in wazaristan. That is also the view of the majority of Pakistanis, they are our 'misguided muslim' brothers

They're your very well guided muslim brothers sweaties Kill all pakoids outside minecraft

Your preferred policy didn't work for 15 years though. During Khan's tenure attacks did decrease. US couldn't find a military solution for this issue, but you think you can? Lololol how's that working out for you. Whether we like it or not, a multi-pronged geopolitical and a political solution is what will work. Else TTP's financiers will just continue to fund them everytime we weed them out.

Ahahahahahahaha USA gave up one of its countless imperial outposts so they want to surrender their country

Fricking unreal how hysterical these Marxist cute twinks can act while pretending to be professionals.

So who's right in your opinion?

According to the survey, published on Tuesday, some 43 per cent of the 1,000 participants viewed China as the biggest military threat followed by the US at 22 per cent and Pakistan and Russia at 13 per cent. “While the world’s two largest democracies would seem to make for natural partners, especially given their mutual mistrust of China, Indians have strategic reasons to be wary of the world’s Western superpower,” said Sonnet Frisbie and Scott Moskowitz, who oversaw the survey, reported Bloomberg.

Based I hope this means we'll finally stop burgerizing.

In a significant development, India may have already surpassed China as the world's most populous country. According to projections from the World Population Review (WPR), India’s population was 141.7 crore as of the end of 2022. That's a little more than 50 lakh more than the 141.2 crore declared by China on January 17, when there was the first fall since the 1960s, according to official announcements.

India, a country where 50 percent of the population is under 30, is anticipated to have the world's fastest-growing major economy. The milestone was supposed to be reached later this year, according to the UN. According to WPR, India's population increased to 142.3 crore people as of January 18. WPR predicts that, though India's population growth has slowed, it will still climb until at least 2050.

The most recent figure for India is 142.8 crore, according to a different estimate from the research platform Macrotrends. After postponing population surveys due to pandemic disruptions in 2021, the nation did not release its once-every-ten-year census statistics.

The largest programme of its kind in the world, free food rations are still used by around 80 crore people in India, despite the country's relatively good recovery from the pandemic and its rapid economic expansion prior to COVID-19.

The third-largest economy in Asia is currently self-sufficient in food production. In terms of rice, wheat, and sugar production, it ranks second. While being the leading importer of edible oils, it is also the largest consumer of sugar. India is the third-largest market for the purchase of crude oil, the second-largest consumer of steel and gold. In addition, it is the third-largest domestic aviation market in the world.

In his January 18 report, Bloomberg Economist Eric Zhu referred to the minor recession that China is currently experiencing as a "growth crushing headwind for a long time". According to information made public by the National Statistics Bureau, China's population decreased by 8.5 lakh in 2022 compared to the previous year.

Recently, Rahul Gandhi was asked about the change in his image in the Bharat Jodo Yatra. "Rahul Gandhi is in your mind. I have killed him long back. The person who you are looking at right now is not Rahul Gandhi. You might be able to see him," Rahul Gandhi said adding that one may understand his statement if they study the Hindu religion.

@himachalite @Gaudapada thoughts resident Hinduism scholars?

"This is the condition of the Congress. A 50-year-old says he has killed cold, he has killed himself. Tu kya hai phir? Jinn hai? If you have killed yourself then who is this person? Had I told something like that, people would have thought I was having fits," Owaisi said in Hyderabad.

Lmao based jihadi. Still going to get gassed first though sorry

India is relevant to the world, not only in its size and girth but by its footprint and what matters to the world

Russia is under American sanctions, and none can trade freely with Russia except India which buys Russian oil on preferred terms and then re-export it to help an old patron earn dollars the indirect way. Two opposing military superpowers of the world claim India to be its ally. If this isn’t diplomatic coup, what is?

Under Modi it has crafted a religious-nationalist plank of its newer assertion and identity. Don’t balk. World over the trend is of the Right gaining eminence in social attitudes. Pakistan in this realm has its own set of challenges. Importantly, it seems to be working for Modi and India.

world baby

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan’s fraternal brother, announced an investment of over 72 billion USDs in India even as we beg her to invest the 7 billion promised for Pakistan. Pakistan’s iron-brother, China, pledged 10 million USD in the very latest donors conference in Geneva to help Pakistan out of its financial predicament as well as a looming bankruptcy, as did Pakistan’s favourite whipping boy, America. Somehow, both place equal premium on Pakistan’s prospects.

The world has taken note and regardless how much we play China vs India as a sorry paradigm for face-saving both are now above 100 billion USDs trade that binds them with a common aim to quickly move to 500 billion. Those who trade at that level never graduate beyond sticks and clubs, even if spiked, and whatever the savagery of their brawl. It is time to smell some real leaves.

One hates to admit, but Pakistan was politically outmanoeuvred by India on Kashmir by rescinding Article 370 of its Constitution which gave a special if not disputed status to the region. Her gradual mutation of the demographics in her favour continues unabated. And as the older generation of the defying Kashmiris bows out the young view issues far less weighed by emotive persuasion.

India is expected to surpass China and become the world's most populous nation within the next three months, according to a recent report by the United Nations' population division, marking a seismic shift on the global stage in a trend with significant social and economic impact for both countries.

"Most people think India's economy is still a fraction of what it could be in the future, which means there's so much promise," Dr. Audrey Truschke, an associate professor of South Asian History at Rutgers University, told Yahoo News, adding that much of the potential is due in large part to India being "such a young country."

Of the rapidly growing 1.41 billion people in India, about 1 in 4 are under the age of 15 and nearly half are under 25. By comparison, China's population is about 1.45 billion, but those under 25 make up only a quarter of the population.

"The Indian subcontinent has always supported a robust human population," Truschke said. "India has also long been compared to China, and they have for a long time traded with one another. So as much changes over the course of human history, that's something that recurs --- both the dense population of the subcontinent, as well as the comparison with China."

Since 1950, India and China have accounted for an estimated 35% of the world's population growth, with China emerging as a global industrial power. Combined, the two population epicenters are a significant slice of the world's roughly 8 billion people.

But China's one-child policy, which was introduced in 1980, drastically reduced its birth rate --- and redirected its economic prospects. In recent years, women have been allowed to have up to three children, but the average birth rate still sits at 1.2. China's population is set to peak in the coming years and projected to decline. This means that the older, nonworking population will have to rely on individual single children, many of whom will probably face economic difficulties caring for two parents and four grandparents. As a result, many elderly Chinese will be left to rely on a public pension system that is reportedly set to run out of money by 2035, despite recent efforts by the government to boost revenue.

"Without a quality pension support system, young people would be reluctant to get married and have children, [and] middle-aged people are double-burdened to care for the young and the elderly," Zhang Jingwei, a researcher at Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University, told the South China Morning Post. "Only when the elderly can enjoy the fruits of the reforms and are guaranteed institutionally happy twilight years, anxiety at different age groups can be solved and all of society's energy can be released."

Population growth in China is flatlining, and its supply of cheap labor may follow suit. Despite stubborn unemployment in pockets of the country, the shortage of skilled manual labor is becoming more evident.

India and its growing population of more than a billion people could pick up some of the slack, but its growth rate is also declining, and its industrial infrastructure is not as robust as China's. And much of India's population growth is centered in its poorer regions, especially in the north.

By 2050, data shows that India is expected to provide more than a sixth of the world's population of working age (15 to 64 years old).

I remember visiting India in 1991 and the crisis was seen by the country as a 'national shame never to be brought upon again'. Politicians actually felt humiliated in front of the people, rightly so, but still they did not go overboard and started thanking donors, loan-givers etc in public out of self-respect. Exact same thing happened in South Korea. Even when they are down, these countries still maintain a degree of self-respect.

Lol, lmao. They're demoralizing themselves so much better than our trolls ever could

Repeat beggars lose all shame at some point.

It’s a fairly bipartisan national trait, us being beggars. Not taking shots at PDM/SS.

If you want to simply vent about how much you dislike PDM, go ahead. But don't frame this as a "self-respect" thing, because we haven't had any for a long time.

Pakistan has been kept in poverty and failure for so long, several generations of people have grown up in this landscape thinking that Pakistan is a poverty country with crappy leaders which is no chance of picking itself up.

Has been kept

The USA (and everyone else in general) has also taken advantage of this and easily waves away Pakistan as some bum middle east hobo country which nobody cares about, despite having the 5th largest population in the world and having nukes which other countries can only dream of attaining.

We are thanking because we have no plans to correct our course, Indian liberalized it's economy after 1991, South Korea too after Asian financial crises in late 1990s. But, we will not take those painful structural reforms because we have in our back of mind this concept, we will be bailed out as world cannot afford a nuclear state gone bankrupt.

This day, year 1761, about 100000 brave Marathas died defending their country from an Afghan marauder at Panipat. This was one of the bloodiest battles in the history of India.

Huh, the headline isn't calling them hardline rightwing as they regularly do when talking about RSS . Will probably hurt their bottom line.

Do better reuters.

Like, it's good someone is calling for progress, but it's insane they're still having this fight in 2023

There's only ony one country* that has decriminalized gay marriage in Asia. Taiwan.. even the most developed countries in asia have not acted upon it.

Ah yes...The expected response to anyone pointing out India's flaws. And as usual, it's not even true https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Asia

Nice...modi is still a peepee ..

Anyone else do a double take? I just saw a religious group + LGBT in the headline and my mind filled in the rest of the words with assumptions of intolerance. Made me happy that my assumptions were completely wrong. Good for them.

Nation.

FIXED LINK HERE: https://fortune.com/2023/01/07/wells-fargo-fires-executive-who-urinated-on-passenger-air-india-flight/

He butt got fired, but not before begging the foid for forgiveness

>A story that seemed too weird to be true just got weirder.

>As Fortune reported yesterday, India’s aviation regulator scolded Air India this week for being “unprofessional” and “devoid of empathy” in its handling of a bizarre incident in late November, in which a male passenger allegedly urinated on a woman during a Nov. 26 flight from New York to Delhi.

>Now that male passenger, who had traveled in business class, has been identified as a vice president at Wells Fargo. Indian police arrested the executive, Shankar Mishra, on Saturday.

>The bank said in a statement on late Friday that it had terminated Mishra, who worked at its subsidiary in India, and was cooperating with local law enforcement, adding in a short statement it found the incident “deeply disturbing.” Fortune reached out to Wells Fargo outside normal business hours but did not receive an immediate reply.

>In a statement sent to Fortune, Air India said it “acknowledges that it could have handled these matters better, both in the air and on the ground.”

>Mishra faces charges under Indian law of obscenity, sexual harassment, and insulting the modesty of a woman. According to The Hindu, a Delhi court sent him to 14-day judicial custody.

>Air India, owned by Tata Group, said it banned Mishra from its flights for a month.

>In India, news of the incident sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many criticizing the airline for not reporting the matter to police until weeks had passed.

>The victim, whose name has not been released, wrote a complaint to Air India’s chairman the day after the event, demanding an immediate arrest of Mishra.

>Air India said in its statement to Fortune that it acknowledged receipt of the letter and “commenced engaging in correspondence with the affected passenger’s family” on Nov. 30. It added that it commenced a ticket refund on Dec. 2 and convened various meeting in the following weeks. When the victim’s family requested on Dec. 26 that the airline lodge a complaint with police, it said, it did so two days later.

>After the incident, the crew reportedly brought Mishra face-to-face with the victim against her wishes, and he begged her for forgiveness.

>That didn’t go over well.

>“In my already distraught state, I was further disoriented by being made to confront and negotiate with the perpetrator of the horrific incident at close quarters,” she wrote in her statement to the chairman, included in the police complaint from Air India.

>She also complained about the way the crew handled the incident, including initially refusing her request to change seats and merely spraying her urine-soaked shoes and bags with disinfectant.

>On Friday, India’s airline regulator reminded airlines to “sensitize” cabin crew and pilots on topic of unruly passengers, who it said should be dealt with strictly. It added that complaints must be filed to aviation authorities promptly, and warned that non-compliance will “invite enforcement action.”
