parts of kerala- where my parents are from- have unfortunate infestations of black beetles commonly known as the mupli beetle. the yer i was born, my gran’s house was overrun, so they were trying to clean out the house before bringing me home. apart from the fact that they were sweeping the little shits out in entire…

the retailer should be held responsible because it is a controlled substance that was as available as a dairy milk in a supermarket. they aren’t to blame for the girl’s death, but rather their negligence.
to give you an example, acid is available really easily at my local chemists. now while most people use the acid…

you wouldn’t actually be physically able to consume that much table salt without needing water and subsequently throwing up all of it. also with regard to tylenol and other variations of paracetamol- in the UK and in India, these are sold in blister packs and no more than two packs can be bought at a time, thus…

table salt doesnt seem to kill you if ingested tho, you can see why this is different?

the best reply to this condescending little shit

if she had any sense, she’d wait a few minutes before lightly checking the surface of the food instead of what im guessing is immediately touching the plate she was specifically warned about so that she could find something to complain about.

being part of a church that’s indian basd (aka shitton of ritual similarities with hinduism), our weddings don’t have the concept of bridesmaids at all. the bride and groom generally pay for everything (with help from parents) and innumerable guests are a thing that happens. the very idea of confronting someone for…

piping in from india also, i think the point ariana is trying to make, and that i agree with to a degree is that the portrayal of developing nations reduces them to stereotypes of poverty and oppression when of course there is a whole lot more happening. also, people are welcome to help, and this article is…

fairly certain sati was outlawed due to the actions of indian people (arya samaj and the like). the british just happened to be the controlling government at the time. that said, this article is possibly the most respectful i have seen on jez seeing as its acknowledging the efforts of nepali men and women and…

are you new to the internet? i only ask because you dont seem to have encountered any MRAs yet.

my mother never actually wore any make up which was a terrible disappointment to bbcori because make up was so fascinating and PAINT FOR THE FACE and for GROWN UPS OBVS. i loved getting made up for school’s annual day and shizz. it was always fun! so i think it’s more a general OOH SO FANCY and feeling grown up and…

i feel like you haven’t been following the situation of Black America at all. even when their innocence is proven there is STILL no justice. there is simply no reaction except a continuation and later, escalation of violence against black people in America. the reason I used the example of India is because the…

your idea of non violence essentially boils down to they’re killing us anyway, lets give them an easy target. its cute that you’re linking me to a random book i’d have to sell my kidney to get imported here as proof, and i’m not trying to undermine your experiences. but your experiences are not everybody’s.

don’t preach to me i’m indian and i know my history and non violence and non compliance has never served the people. never.
you know what happens when you’re non compliant but non violent? you get put down like rabid dogs. for instance, the jallianwala bagh massacre. for instance, black people in America today. you…

listen son nonviolence doesnt do jack shit. non compliance leads to harsher laws and sanctioned murder of citizens.

fine and thin poker straight hair. my hair doesnt even try growing past my shoulders. washing everyday with oiling to keep it healthy helps. as does a round brush and volumizing shampoo.

ah sita. i clicked this knowing there would be shit and you would be shutting it down. god bless.

i dont think trans people get to choose what they look like when they transition. this person’s genes are apparently the fun kind which conform to traditional ideas of attractiveness and they cropped up when he decided to transition. he didn’t pick and choose anything beyond the fct that he decided on a certain degree…

i think by virtue of being trans, he’s is breaking a stereotype if nothing else. geez if you don’t celebrate the small victories you’re really not going to have anything to be joyful about in life.

with the way things are, i often wonder how much of the arrest history people pull out on black men is legit, and if it is, was charged because of something that actually happened rather than plain assumption.
