  5. Anyone from #Maharashtra want to be an official member of the prav cooperative ?

    Join at prav.app/become-a-member/

    We had reached required 50 numbers once, but some people dropped out later.

    So we only have 46 members now and need 50 to register as multi state cooperative.

    Other states are welcome too, but you will have to wait longer till your state reaches 50.

    #Kerala has the required minimum of 50 already, but more members makes us stronger.

  6. RE: mastodon.social/@bunvoyage17/1

    Finally taking my first trip to #India after many years with @dohappybelove and our little one. We’ll be based in Delhi but will be travelling to #Jaipur, #Pondicherry, and #Chennai on vacation. We know Delhi and Jaipur well but the other two are completely new. Any good recommendations for things to do with a toddler, good #vegetarian food, or good cafes?

    We will post photos and such on our family account @bunvoyage17 - feel free to follow!

  7. Happy to announce we are finally taking a trip to #India next month! It will be our first trip in years and our first trip with a toddler. Spending time in #Delhi but also going to #Jaipur, #Pondicherry, and #Chennai for some much needed vacations! We have been to Jaipur multiple times but it will be our first time to the other two. Any recommendations for good things to do or good #vegetarian places or cafes?

  8. Maharashtra’s municipal corporation polls reinforce what the 2024 assembly elections already showed: the BJP is the state’s clear political pole, with room to pressure allies. INC, meanwhile, looks increasingly marginal in state politics. Today’s Number Theory unpacks the results.

  11. Vivek Ramaswamy, a key figure in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been ousted from the upcoming Trump administration after a backlash from the MAGA base over his comments on educational reforms and immigration. Elon Musk's efforts to increase high-skilled immigration also fueled the controversy.

  12. As the Hathras stampede claims 121 lives, I'm left wondering how Baba Bhole's private army was allowed to operate with impunity. The government's inaction is a stark reminder of the corruption and misuse of power that plagues our society. When will we learn to hold those in power accountable? 🤷‍♀️ #JusticeForHathras #AccountabilityMatters #MastIndia #MastodonIndians #India @mastodonindians

  13. BJP chief JP Nadda is likely to return as a minister in the cabinet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is taking oath this evening for a historic third term. Thirty ministers are expected to take oath along with him.

  14. Bhojshala, an 11th century ASI-protected monument, is considered by Hindus as a temple of Goddess Saraswati, while Muslims call it Kamal Maula mosque. Since April 2003, as per an ASI order, Hindus have been performing puja here on Tuesdays, while Muslims have been offering namaz on Fridays.

  16. I stated here the following.

    There is no sign that the [2023 Israel–Hamas war](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israel–Hamas_war) will stop soon and peace will prevail on either side.
    This
    Israel-Hamas conflict is fueling profit machines. Therefore, the war will continue to rage as thousands of civilians are getting killed as collateral damages.
    I made a mistake here by only stating the economic aspects. The Israel-Hamas war has complex dynamics. It is important to consider the broader political, historical, and ideological factors that drive the Israel-Hamas war in addition to potential financial gains. These factors are interconnected and influence each other.

    Now we see that
    Netanyahu says Gaza war on Hamas will go on for ‘many more months,’ thanks US for $147.5 million emergency new weapons sale to Israel.

    The
    humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening, with hunger and mass displacement is deepening as fighting rages on across the strip. The ongoing conflict may have resulted in the displacement of 85% of Gaza's 2.3 million residents, leaving Palestinians feeling unsafe and lacking basic necessities such as water and food. The economic costs of the conflict are also significant, with Israel estimated to lose around $400 billion due to the war. For Palestinians, the costs may be so large that they undermine the possibility of an independent Palestinian state.

    How can such a situation persist without profits which will be related to ideological, political and financial aspects? The ideological, territorial and political aspects are well documented. Despite the ongoing conflict, there are business and financial benefits for certain industries as mentioned
    in this article. Additionally, the coastal strip of Gaza and Israeli occupied Palestinian territories sit above sizable reservoirs of oil and natural gas, which offer an opportunity to distribute and share $524 billion among different parties in the region.

    The war has caused significant human suffering and loss of life, and, as stated before, it is not appropriate to view it only through an economic lens. It is important to focus on finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict and supporting the humanitarian needs of those affected by the violence. Is war a prelude to peace in this case? In some cases, war can lead to further instability, violence, and suffering, making it difficult to establish a lasting peace. The relationship between war and peace is complex and depends on various factors, including the involvement of international actors, regional dynamics, and the will of the people to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

    I conclude this article by quoting Anthony H. Cordesman from his article titled
    Gaza: Why the War Won’t End (dated 02nd November 2023).
    What does seem clear, however, is that both sides now have no good options that will bring lasting peace or stability. Israel will almost certainly be able to contain Gaza and seriously weaken Hamas. At best, Israel can use force to occupy and control Gaza but never be accepted by Gaza’s population and able to offer successful development or a decent life. Israel’s actions have also, however, sharply increased Gazan, Palestinian, and Arab hostility to Israel and undermined the sympathy and support it gained after the initial invasion by Hamas. The best outcome from Israel’s current offensive seems all too likely to leave Israel either as at least a partial occupier of a hostile Gaza or create and maintain a far larger set of security barriers that may have to extend well beyond the present border and require a much larger forward-deployed security force.
    As for Hamas, some three weeks after its attack, it was still unclear what its strategic objective was in launching an attack whose very success was certain to provoke a massive Israeli military response without achieving any clear strategic gains for Hamas. Given its long history of defeats in previous fighting, Hamas had to realize that Israel’s almost inevitable violent response might limit or end the progress made in improving Arab-Israeli relations and the Abraham Accords; and it had to realize the result would sharply weaken or destroy Hamas and lead to massive damage to the civil population in Gaza. To quote Henry Kissinger in a very different context, “The threat of committing suicide is not an adequate deterrent to being murdered.”

  18. It happened yesterday and today, on Christmas day, I am reading it here.

    At least 68 people were killed by an Israeli strike in central Gaza, health officials said Sunday, while the number of Israeli soldiers killed in combat over the weekend rose to 17.

    There is no sign that the 2023 Israel–Hamas war will stop soon and peace will prevail on either side.

    On December 13, 2023 India voted in favour of a resolution in the UN General Assembly (UNGA) that demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict and the unconditional release of all hostages.

    This was the first time India had backed such a resolution since the war began more than two months ago. India’s vote in favor of the UN resolution demonstrates our concern for the humanitarian situation and, also, our commitment to promoting peace and stability in the region.

    The resolution was unanimously accepted by the 193-member UN General Assembly during an emergency special session, with 153 states voting in favor, 10 voting against, and 23 abstentions. Unfortunately, this is simply an indication of worldwide sentiment. Unlike Security Council resolutions, General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding.

    This Israel-Hamas conflict is fueling profit machines. Therefore, the war will continue to rage as thousands of civilians are getting killed as collateral damages.

  20. Cricket fans fully expect South Africa to choke in crucial matches but fans of India would have preferred South Africa win today and choke in the finals. 😉

    Anyway, come Sunday, India will be tested for the first time in this tournament. I hope they win, but history is on Australia's side. 🤞

  21. The BJP and the opposition's INDIA bloc both had victories in the bypolls for 7 seats across six states. The BJP won three seats in Tripura and Uttarakhand, while the INDIA parties won four seats - one each in Kerala, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh. The results are significant as they set the stage for the upcoming assembly elections and the next Lok Sabha polls.
