Persian and Sogdian silversmith elements, Buddhist ideas and Syriac Christian liturgical practices, may all have left their traces on the making of the object."

Three Gorges Dam ● Serious Problem ● Apr 28 2024 #India #China Now
A book in #India and also in #Kashmir published by the government of India for 6th graders just mentioned #Khomeini one of the most evil persons in history.
People I n Kashmir and some other parts of India have been protesting while carrying the pictures of #Khomeini.
It's just sad to see these people are more upset about a provocation by the Indian government to put Khomeini by the side of people like Hitler or Gingiz Khan. He was an evil man, no doubt about it, but in the global terms he wouldn't even get close to monsters like #Kissinger or king #Leopold.
These same people have been so damn quiet about the ongoing #genocide in #Gaza or #Sudan

In #Assam's Kaziranga National Park, a forest officer died and another was injured in an attack by a herd of wild buffaloes. The incident occurred on Monday morning (April 15) as the forest officials were conducting their routine patrol in the forest area near the Elephant Camp.
"A group of aggressive wild buffalos suddenly attacked them. They managed to escape but two of them fell victim," officials said.

The Russian government last year announced a lucrative package for foreign fighters to join the country’s military, including a monthly salary of at least $2,000 and a fast track to Russian citizenship – but the #Kremlin has not said how many foreigners it has recruited under the plan.By some estimates, #Russia has been sending thousands of foreign men to fight in #Ukraine since #Putin ordered the invasion.

How Britain stole $45 trillion from India
And lied about it.
There is a story that is commonly told in #Britain that the colonisation of #India – as horrible as it may have been – was not of any major #economic benefit to Britain itself. If anything, the administration of India was a cost to Britain. So the fact that the #empire was sustained for so long – the story goes – was a gesture of Britain’s benevolence.
New research by the renowned economist Utsa Patnaik – just published by Columbia University Press – deals a crushing blow to this narrative. Drawing on nearly two centuries of detailed data on tax and trade, Patnaik calculated that Britain drained a total of nearly $45 trillion from India during the period 1765 to 1938.

Does the world has a 100 years cycle for fascism and stupidity taking over the nations?
Most countries turning into full fascist states and our democratic values being destroyed, one by one in every corner of the planet.
The nuclear powered nation of India turning fascist should be an alarm for everyone in the world. But sadly we are driven by for profit corporations rather than political leaders and India is one of the key nations in their plans to dominate the world economics. No matter how extreme right it turns.
