  1. >his party won 87% of the Muslim seats Isn't that in the 1936 elections? There is no agenda of partition at that time. How is this relevant? Partisan politics played by insecure occupiers played a huge role in creating a monster out of molehill after 1940 (ww2). Every single significant leader like Gandhi/Nehru was imprisoned during that time. Guess why? because they protested British occupation. Guess what else? Not a single leader of the Muslim League was imprisoned. The leader of the Muslim League Mr Jinnah was never arrested nor put in jail for even ONE day. Gandhi and Nehru were locked up for 14-16 years total when added up from different events. So Zero vs 14-16 years. Kudos to colonialist British partisan politics for creating a historic nightmare!
  2. >Time will tell whether that will be good for the US and Europe. India seems to me no less nationalistic and protectionist than China. Can you write more on being nationalistic.
  3. >Att the same time you despise the British Empire in Africa, you can thank them for the dramatic rise in living standards for Africa. I hope this is not to be taken seriously. If not, I will be deeply deeply disappointed, as this is not based on any morals or facts (unless twisted to make it fit some pre ordained conclusion).
  4. "She may be guilty of being clueless about certain things at a certain age (who isn’t) but she gave her life to the institution and generally speaking is not a bad person. " European governments and leaders should be tried for their genocidal crimes, just like Nazis were tried in a court of justice. The true extent of their crimes is still hidden and frankly, there will be shock and disgust once it is exposed.
  5. Royal family members still are enjoying the ill gotten money from slavery and genocide they did in the lands they occupied. God will put them in Hell for crimes done in their name.
  6. Orthodox Muslim religious scholars are still living in medieval times in India. For example in India - Muslim man can marry up to 4 wives. The law allows only for Muslim man. It is illegal for everyone else like Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Hindus. Polygamy (polyandry to be more specific) is legally allowed for Muslims only, as Islamic scholars claim everything done by Muslim Prophet Mohammed should be allowed. Some Islamic Religious groups do not want any reform, as they are afraid of losing their power. Modi is trying to reform this outdated behavior. Muslim women see Modi as their savior. All male self-selected Muslim religious leaders are waging a vicious campaign to keep their power. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-61351784 In India, the issue is a political hot potato. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has promised to enact a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) - a contentious piece of legislation that will mean marriages, divorces and inheritance will no longer be governed by their religious law but will come under a common law applicable to all citizens. And at a time when the country is highly polarised along religious lines, any reform suggested by the government is bound to be considered an onslaught on Islam by a majority of Muslims. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-61351784
  7. Documentary is very effective in subtly presenting western interests, while downplaying Indian interests.
  8. Supposedly the year 2015 was the Peak baby births year. After 2015 the total number of baby births are coming down. Projected trends indicate they will continue to come down in future.
  9. >the Louisiana Purchase are still kicking warrens ass but as far as $30B stock picks go, I’d agree. Louisiana Purchase is a theft of Native american lands without recognizing their rights.
  10. Agree with the message "Be authentic, as it will help in long run. Of course it will come with short term costs" Many many great people were clear on their communications and true. For example Buffett, when he started his partnerships working from home.
  11. Just an empty talk. Did A16Z invest in any of those infrastructure or hard to do things he talks about ?
  12. Its is apalling to watch the video and see how a peaceful man was killed. He did not attack and cried out several times that he can't breathe. The brutality of policies and procedures which lead to this are disgusting. What else minorities should go through to even have a grand jury to initiate a case ? The U.S. constitution said that black people are 3/5 of person. It is 1/21 today in usa.
  13. Looking towards purchasing a term life insurance or full life insurance. (maybe a 1-2 million value) Any advice ? suggestions. Keeping my premiums to a minimum is important for me. Is there a way to pay a lumpsum single payment upfront, instead of yearly payments ? Any opinions on products offered by BRK Direct ? http://www.brkdirect.com/spia/EZquote.asp
  14. Ericopoly. Try Schwab (or may be others) who do home loans. The last i heard they will take the portfolio size into consideration for the home loan.. do not know the full details, but maybe worth checking it out.. some small banks, who keep the loans on their books (& not sell to freddie/fannie) will be interested in doing your loan..
  15. Are there any statutory (or legal) limitations on what insurance companies cannot invest ? Any particular sectors or situations they are not allowed to invest in ?
