Apart from the obvious social implications of this move , I wonder whether any studies have been carried out on the criminal misuse of this provision .

That apart it's moves like this which set the stage for normalising gay marriages eventually. The next move I'm foreseeing is adoption rights by individual gays or a gay couple followed some time later by inheritance laws I'm guessing.

You can open a joint savings bank account only with a family member or if you're a married couple.

Subsequently the latter part was amended to include live in relationships . Now it's been amended to include homosexual couples. If there was no such requirement why did the GoI have to come up with a notification. Try & open up a joint savings account with your neighbour & check the bank's response..

You're right about the right to nominate anybody to the account.

dont think there is a rule about joint accounts either . any two people can open joint account.

Don't think you're getting what I'm highlighting. I'm referring exclusively to joint savings account.

You can always open a current bank account with an unrelated person provided you furnish the necessary documents.

i am too , any two people can open them .

that circular is just a clarification .

Try out your theory tomorrow in a bank . If they accept your application ask them whether they did so earlier & if not why not.

I can tell you it wasn't the case as my batch mates along with myself decided to open up an account without the hassle of approaching the charity commissioner which would act as a fund which we could use to do charity.

Every PSU & Pvt Bank turned us down.
 
Let's hope they don't fall under the trap of my khanjari gangs, otherwise we are looking another flashpoint, babus must be told strictly by those who want India to remain SANE that no outside influence of any kind.
Also, because of new port coming many outside enemy countries will now do hell bent on conversions.
Conversions which we have failed to uncheck untill now.
 
I seem to have missed the memo that confirmed our status as a super power.
Or an economic power
Or an energy sufficient country
Or technology super power
Or Industrial super power.

The bitter truth is harsh to swallow that we are extremely reliant on middle east and the US for our energy, technology and economic needs.

The countries that tried to show their aukath end up like pakis, BD, SL etc.
We may not end up like them but we can say goodbye to all the sweet economic deals we have with US or the oil & gas imports.

Make no mistake as to why India for a long time does not want to cross a certain threshold with US or middle east.
NO, the reason is no economy or Oil, It's the Hindus.

The moment economy goes bad or oil prices go up, it's not the muslims or christians that will crib, it's the hindus who will come out to streets and vote the party out of power.

Half the hindus vote for islamists, the other half that votes, thinks that's the end of their responsibility and the elected govt must deliver without any civic participation from hindus.
No wonder muslims, christians and castist hindus are running roughold on us.
They know our mentality, no skin in the game. want govt to solve everything and abuse the same people trying their best to do right for us.
These islamic coalition knows BJP will be screwed and abused by everyone no matter what they do or don't.
These islamic coalition knows all we do is scratch our balls and hurl abuses to make ourselves feel important & get a sense of 'oh yeah, we are doing something', when we aint doing anything.

i'll just focus on one point.

the reason it looks this way, is because Bharat and israel are an exception to the rule.
out of 199 countries in the world, 140+ are christian majority, 49 countries are muslim majority (subject to correction).
if Bharat throws a stone around the world to another country far away, 98% chance that it would fall in a country where abrahamic religion is the majority, and it's implications there of.

Bharat does not have a contemporary to benchmark itself with, we are on our own. even when we go out looking for ideas from outside, 98% chance that it is going to be abrahamic origin in nature.

as i keep saying, trying to understand Bharat for what it is and situation we are in, is not for the faint hearted.

remaining countries are
- Nepal
- Mauritius
- Myanmar
- Cambodia
- Laos
- Thailand
- Vietnam

Gay marriage isnt going to happen in India in our lifetimes.
The supreme court has set a pretty water-tight percedent with a 5 man panel that this is the ambit of the parliament and its parliament who will make the laws re: marriage. And its not gonna happen because moozies will go apeshit and the hindus will just have to cattle-prod the moozies to action and it will die down again.
 
Finally, what we were waiting for long time is coming:

New Hindi, Tamil, Telugu ver. and original English ver. of the animated film #RamayanaAnime #TheLegendOfPrinceRama will be released throughout India on Oct 18, 2024, distributed by
@geekpictures_IN in association with @AAFilmsIndia and @excelmovies ! ! #RamayanaAnimeInCinema

Our fall didnt come due to lack of martial nature and all this dharma and peace stuff. Ancient India was NOT a peaceful place and Indian wars were frequent and huge. Vengi might just be one of the top 5 most fought over pieces of real estate in human history.
The main difference is, Indian wars in pre-islamic period were similar to European wars during Napoleon - sure, we'd destroy the city/fort/castle we would fight over, but after the fighting, the winner would simply assume control of the cities of the loser instead of destroying it all or looting it.

Our fall came due to our lack of horses and the terrain of India favouring cavalry tactics.
In fact, the decline of Indian civilization pretty much directly coincides with the supremacy of horseback cavalry, particularly heavy cavalry.

In fact, i'd say the greatest weakness of the rajputs were they were actually shit warriors, too shacked with their notion of honour and honourable war, instead of being actually good at winning wars or fighting wars for the sole purpose of winning wars.
Yes you do have a point. But I wouldn’t attribute something to just the lack of a particular tactic.

That’s a tactical view but from a strategic view it seems like we were contented and all these concepts came as in case of rajputs. We never devised ways to win wars even if for the good. It always boils down to who wants it more doesn’t it? Objectives drive your actions and not the other way around.

Result average Indian now is under confident and non-violent to the core and we lack the strength to deal with other races that bring this aggressiveness.

what do you mean we never devised ways to win wars ? like indian empires like cholas and chalukyas or satavahanas and western kshatrapas fought each other till one of them just went extinct on the battlefield ?!


It doesnt boil down to who wants it more. it always boils down to who has more ability to project force. Without cavalry, the Indo-gangetic plains is un-holdable for any empire if they are being assailed from the Afghanistan region.

There is a reason why the vaunted Greeks, along with the persians, parthians and scythians were not able to crack the heartland of Indian civilization ( Ganges valley) and it took the Kushans 3 generations AFTER arriving in India to project power over Pataliputra, despite India not having any major empire/kingdom in the north at the time, while the Guptas got utterly whacked by the Hun invasions of the 480s period: Cavalry. Huns were the first true heavy cavalry force experienced by India and they weren't interested in fighting a major set-piece battle to defeat the Guptas and take over land ( like the Scythians, parthians, kushans, greeks etc did), they just came in as all cavalry force, utterly burned down a city/region and by the time the slow lumbering gupta army showed up, the huns fucked off to somewhere else 100km away, burnt it down and ran circles around the empire, completely crushing it in a matter of a decade.

ironically, by the time the Lodi dynasty were in power( late 1400s/early 1500s), India sees for the first time in history presence of indian-bred cavalry ( Marwari & Kathiawari horse- which carry a strong arabian horse genetic component, which makes sense since we have Abbasid era records of vast amount of horses imported by the Rashtrakutas from the Arabs during this period, while Gurjaras relied more on their links with Kabul-shahis to import Bactrian horses). And this period sees predictable decline of power of the central Asia based turkic sultanates in India, as Indians had caught up to horses by this point but unfortunately, the mughals came along with a new innovation: gun powder. Which now rendered both cavalry charges and elephant charges useless.
