Dang! I see it now, the comment was intended only for the parent though. I guess it's better left like this only.

It's only sad when developers sell UX gyaan on standards on one hand and screw the same standard with things like react elsewhere; only because some large corp says it's cool.

> that the site was built by hunter-gatherers

Hilarious, ha ha ha! And thus fodder continues… It's almost like the western linguists were there only yesterday:

"people with no granaries, no specialists, no taxes or central authorities." :-)

> If we're going to argue that the Mahabharata is an account of nuclear war, we need to remember that it's extremely similar to the Irish Cattle Raid of Cooley.

Correct! I would rather measure up 'rise of civilization' against both texts than a stupid set of stones with nothing written on them -- which at best seems like a partial rise of civilization. Hence, the hilarity.

How about a simple infographic timeline of estimated, claimed and measured history? Measure it along time and not some myopic view held by the west (or east).

> Calling RSS alt-right, completely makes the whole article laughable.

RSS is alt-right of India even if you think it isn't. Anyone who claims otherwise simply because INC or TDP jokers did something wrong elsewhere is either stupid or simply insane. RSS is and always will be an alt-right outfit even if every other political party like INC/TDP/BJP cease to exist.

Go read the some history yourself. I can meanwhile eat some beef nuggets on the side. ;)

Yeah similar to how columnists with alternative views are called "outside columnists" -- us and them -- or sometimes deshdrohis. Many Indians fail to see the reality in chasm of words.

It's nice you mention the supreme courts of India here. Notice, they also discharged(?) Salman Khan of Bollywood for his 2006 road kills! It's almost a joke when you use SC to say that your PM/candidate doesn't have a questionable past.

I'm fairly certain that you'll also fail to accept the fact that Modi was the mastermind of a series of murders including that of his own cabinet minister Haren Pandya following the events in 2002.

It is a fact that Modi encouraged killing of Muslim families to catapult himself at centerstage politics. One of his cabinet ministers is even a convicted murderer!, of his own colleague in office: research on home minister Haren Pandya.

> it's really funny to see outside columnists trying to paint broad generalizations of Indian politics.

It is anything but funny. In ways similar to the rhetoric "Should everyone else go to Pakistan?".

Oh man! The Big Lebowski reference is 200% accurate. On a serious note though, it feels almost certain that the Modi Government is going to lead India into another bloodshed, sooner or later. I hope not but that sinking feeling just doesn't go away given his track record.

Edited. I picked it up from the FFTF (Fight For The Future) email I got in my inbox today morning.

> Wapo king of fake news[1]

WaPo has been central to a lot of real news in recent history. Why do you say that it is fake?

No matter which side you're on it is in our interest to not let net neutrality go down without any resistance.
