One of the most curious aspects of the West’s approach toward the East is its transparent hypocrisy. They are hypocritical, and they are completely transparent about it—they simply do not care what others think. The Western Coterie and Selective Solidarity Look at the phrase "the Western civilization." Everywhere you look—in video after video, article after article, television series, news broadcasts, and political decisions—we constantly encounter the phrase "Western civilization." Their movies proclaim membership in this civilization, and their politicians speak of the West as a single, unified unit. That is fine, but they shouldn't expect others not to band into units of their own.   Look at BRICS. BRICS was envisaged as a platform where developing countries could meet each other’s needs. Yet, the West tend to see it as "anti-West." This is absurd, for BRICS is a collection of nations spanning deep Western allies like South Africa, neut...

  Does Merit Matter To Us? How many qualify amorally, creating a victim who lost to your dishonesty for each such case?

It is disgusting and frustrating even to me, a person who is not affected; not anymore. And yet I feel the shock of what happened – how must it be for those who are actually impacted, whet...

India’s Rail Mastery And The Silence Of Global Media It was a morning news scan, when yet again the hydrogen train in India came to mind. And then, next came my daily scan of a top US daily – I scan Indian and Global news daily. It occurred to me, when I saw a negative article on India judging from the headline, that this hasn’t received attention globally, at least judging from my limited daily scans. Then I started on 3 LLM portals to research this – ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. What follows is a article from that quick research. A quick random dip stick checking of the facts has been done, followed by a full article scan through claude for fact checking. One fact – ticket price was found slightly off in my check, and was edited in the text. What I want to point out in this article: 1.       India’s stunning record of railway development, laying a strong backbone for the nation’s development 2.       Western Media’s absolute ...
