Ep 28 - The era of Boring People /
elite savarna culture peaked around mid 2010s-- since then it's just been reliving the same cliches which weren't very cool/original to begin with.
This is the wasteland of basic nothingness

great idea. all the MBA monsters who strategized & designed this policy should also have their increments, leaves, access to AC & washrooms be 'gameified'.
Big Idea 💡

it's election season! U know what tht means no? That's right!

Gujarat Govt has mandated tht conversion to Buddhism needs *approval* from District Magistrates

last yr nearly 50,000 Dalits accepted Buddhism in a mega event in Gandhinagar + Gujarat has seen big rise in such events-- clearly the Govt has noticed.

Savarna comics building humor from casteist biases-- Laloo booked under fodder scam makes sense, BUT if it was Bitcoin scam or something it'd be confusing lol

No intent to cancel anyone, just appreciating liberal savarna audiences which applaud this in 2024 :) sweet!

Not at all sympathetic to this. The wealthy have denigrated welfare schemes for so long, the education system is now in a state of ruin. When the chickens have finally come home to roost, you want the state to intervene. This is your favourite free market economics. Deal with it.

everytime Hema Malini speaks on record, its a gift to be savored 🙏🤌😅

an indictment to how weak states have become wrt Centre is fate of regional parties- despite seeing what's become of NCP, Shiv Sena, SAD, AAP- parties like BJD, JD(S), YSRCP, TDP, JDU, LJP, RLD still make deal w BJP.

they know its stop-gap & eventually they'll be cannibalized--…

Many elite public institutions across India do not give their (typically contractual) janitorial staff a paid holiday on Ambedkar Jayanti. It is not a 'holiday' if contractual staff are called in for a 'compensatory' day.

If you are a faculty member, please work to change this.

similar thing had happened in Ashoka University a few months ago-- Ashoka Univ like South Asian Univ doesnt have reservation in admission.

Why are elite savarna campuses so hateful towards Babasaheb?

New narrative tht BJP will make big in-roads in South & East India: no doubt Odisha, even WB & K'taka can fall, but #LokSabhaElection will be decided on Cong-INDIA ability to prevent BJP from sweeping Gujarat, Raj, MP, UP, Haryana.
170 seats- BJP expects 155+.
This is their real…

existential discussion going on among 2 of my meritorious trolls. fascinating. AI can never recreate this level of surreal disconnect 🙏 iam learning so much.

a typical Savarna habit is to deny the evident 'eliteness' & spin instead a narrative of 'sacrifice' & struggle. Narayan Murthy uncle to this Sharma uncle, case in point:
