You think CAA is discriminatory against Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Afghanistani Muslims?
Yes, it is. They've earned it by persecuting all the minorities there.
You believe in minority marginalization right? Why back out now?
Why harbour this selective support system towards the minorities of your country but not your neighbours who have been treated akin to dirt and assassinated brutally in unimaginable numbers since independence?
In the topmost video clip, I can be seen walking at Kumbhalgarh Fort along with my husband while in the bottom most video clip, our wonderful guide can be seen talking to my husband, explaining about the glorious history of this place.

* The wall has never been breached.
* It served as a refuge for the rulers of Mewar.
* There are 360 temples in that area.
* The Fort has seven gates.
* The Fort is surrounded by a Wildlife Sanctuary.
* A spectacular light & sound show is held every evening in the complex depicting the history of the place.
"as a consequence, most colonies embraced nationalism of the territorial kind, which altered their priorities significantly. the deprivation of a cultural or civilisational anchor to their ‘modern’ identities meant that their visions of the past, present and future were limited to merely preserving territorial integrity while constantly ceding space on civilisational integrity to coloniality"
on a ludicrous side note, the design of this book is absolutely gorgeous.
ok. i might just be very indian but i have barely seen any south asian independent music (NO i'm not counting coke studio), since india's music runs on 1) filmi and 2) coke studio (which again. not counting that as independent music. fuck coke studio). and 1 gets boring while 2. well. the boycotts. also adding that since i have a massive preference for rock music, this post will be primarily focusing on that. sorry about that.
note: this list might also have more of india than for other countries bc i'm indian and thus have more experience with indian music. very fucked up language order to keep you on your toes.

Welcome to the varied landscapes of India, my dear friends starting with the loftiest mountain range in the world called the Himalayas in the North to the grasslands of India in the South of Himalayan foothills, also spread across parts of central & western India.
We also have two big deserts in India.
A sandy, yellow desert called the Thar Desert/The Great Indian Desert in the North Western State of Rajasthan.
Then a salty desert or White Desert called the Great Rann of Kutch located in the western state of Gujarat.
The gorgeous backwaters of India are mostly found in the South Western state of India called Kerala.
Similarly the lush green tea gardens at Munnar is also located in the state of Kerala in South India.
The coastal areas with its gorgeous beaches spread in the West, East & South of India can be explored all round the year for some adventurous & fun filled activities.
