Indian Economy

I was active on reddit before covid. But no longer.

Currently its the most harmful social media platform. It has the tightest and thickest bubble. Its censorship is perverse to say the least. Its admins can nuke anything on whims. Moderators toe the line and run their own fiefdom.

I am no longer active on reddit. I though may survey it sometimes.

Reddit itself isn't bad but yes don't follow any Indian subs all of them are just cancerous and keep on telling wrong information

worst place ever, they think they are the most intellectual and smartest breed because they discovered a social media platform before others

the moderators their are guaranteed commie or khangress it celliyas who are experts in creating naratives, the brainrot was first there in randia and r/usi then spread to indian cities and states subreddit then cars, bikes, finances (tax) then kids and education, ie a complete systematic toolkit taking on social engineering on the masses

we only had 1 rw sub ie r/indiaspeaks, that too fell to become a "news" and modi bashing sub

In OD they need to do something about the outskirt regionalist folk around BBSR. They can be rather pesky even to Odias from other parts of Odisha (southern and western Odisha). Metros bound to get multicultural. But these pesky regionalists from some outskirt village near BBSR would chimp out whenever some non-Odia gets job settle there. Need to keep those guys in check if that place wants to be successful.

I have in BBSR since childhood, haven't come across many people who think like this, but things can change, BBSR outskirts are still pretty dehati, I agree on this. I think odisha is still quite a bit away from becoming truly metropolitan like HYD,BLR etc. BBSR is good in infra and management but lacks a lot of things you would except from metro. IMO Odisha has future in both Service and Manufacturing Sector.

Yeah I'm not talking about proper BBSR. But the villages around it. Those people still think they can dictate what goes in BBSR. I have been insulted for not speaking proper Odia (I speak a different dialect) by some idiots while I was preparing for UPSC/SSC there. They are obviously minority voices. Most BBSR folks are chill, I love BBSR.

there are people who try to force you to speak standard Odia ? I can't believe such idiots exist . I have extended family from Rourkela Sambalpur region who moved here for their kids studies and haven't faced such issues. seems like new phenomenon.

I too think it's a recent phenomenon. My father too studied there never had any issue in his days. Most probably inspired by things happening in southern states. I don't know what those idiots are thinking. They are just giving more fire to the idiots who are demanding a separate state in western & southern Odisha (Koshal state, Dandkaranya state, Santhal state, etc). Odisha needs to stay one for it to progress. We need to absolutely avoid our Bihar-Jharkhand moment.

natural resources are spread across odisha or some parts only????

natural resources are mostly in central and western Odisha, but most of the population and agriculture happens in coastal regions.

Depends on the type of natural resources. But mostly it is spread out. Western & Southern sides are mineral-rich parts. There are also mineral reserves in North Odisha.

my neighbour is from cuttack, been hearing odia since 14 years, i think its 70%+ similiar to bengali, am i right?

Tbh there places in western, central & southern odisha that has pretty good soil for vegitable farming. Issue is lack of cold storage and irrigation. Government seriously need to work on that. Soil is also very suitable for certain kinds of millet farming.

Both languages belong same family that's bound to happen. Both are also related to Sanskrit.

in theory is it, but accent, localisation and dialect mean it like 50% similar, some words and grammar are understandable but a complex sentence would completely go over your head, keep in mind that formal odia and bengali might sound very similar because higher use of Sanskrit words, but a common odia and bengali would use expressions, grammar and words that can be very local in nature.

 

[liberalredditor]

what's the situation of rice bag distribution there?? i see that odisha has tribal population, i hope that they arent on the jharkhand pathway
but is the govt serious on removing these missionaries??

Yep. Another thing is cuttack had a pretty good chunk of Bengali presence. So it makes sense from a linguistic perspective that some words might be common. Simply because of the distance.

Ricebags are very localized in certain tribal majority districts, i think RSS has great job in slowing down and even stopping conversions starting in early 1990s.
speaking of tribals, odisha used to have more inequality among different groups than even states like bihar, but it never had kind of bottom of the barrel mandal politics for reasons like :-

outright hostle casteism is quite rare here
tribals and wealth people live in very separated areas
most of the population doesn't vote on caste in the first place.

Bengali and odia can understand each other's language to some extend if they hear with some concentration . Mahua Moitra marrying former BJD mp from Puri makes some sense .

If you go westward the dialect is little different . Overall everyone understand Hindi but westward you ll nt find much of accent when they speak Hindi like in the east . The western region together with border area jharkhand and chhatisgarh was under Sambalpur kingdom having samleswari as the presiding deity .

Tbh
There is one particular conflict which dates even before these political parties and independence
That is western vs coastal
It's still prevalent now both sides of people still have that particular hatred or to be precise superiority complex

The IT industry in bhubaneswar is a big flop show . The city is planned , wide roads with properly divided blocks , many parks , sea coast is not far away , lots of places to visit near by .. Everything there But can you even compare it with IT industry of pune ? Let's nt even talk about Bangalore and Hyderabad .
