Indian origin Hindu guy who considers himself white and admires Nazi ideology crashes a truck into the white house to seize power.

Friends from SEA, do you have elite upper class people like these who consider themselves white and not Asian?

Btw... this is not the first instsnce of an upper caste Indian claiming "whiteness". There have been court cases by men requesting white status as early as pre first world war days.

A Bonanza For Dutch Firm: Modi’s Decision Forcing Half of India to Eat Fortified Rice

A bevy of international organisations were part of a government resource centre that chalked up policy on rice fortification. All of them have links to Dutch multinational, Royal DSM, which benefits from the assured market created by the government's decision.

For those who didn't know this already... middle and upper class has a nazi fetish since ages. I always heard my grandparents, parents and uncles/aunts lament how needed a dictator like Hitler to straighten it out. The general impression is that AH was an uber patriot who took his country to great heights and put irksome minorities in their place or eliminated them. 's resemblance to AH is what gets him elected...that is very much his USP.

I recall real estate in Lutyens Garden was called ‘priceless’ even in the 90s. ‘Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Road’ too has come a long way.

How do you read/pronounced ?

Within ASEAN, 9 out of 10 member nations pronounce it as “as·yan” (if you watch/listen). But here in the most say it as “aa·si·yan”.

I just heard a third version today: “ey·sea·yan”.

⇒ “What if ASEAN Became One Country?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DcvYOlQfgk


BONUS:

For those not familiar with ASEAN, it is a regional group here in South-East Asia. It stands for the “Association of South-East Asian Nations”.

There are currently 10 member nations, namely:

There are two observer (potential member) countries:

There is also the (ASEAN+3), the +3 stands for , , and ( to be specific).

And the ASEAN+6 that, hopefully, will become the “East Asia Community”, and the added 3 nations are , , and .

「 Twitter under Musk has approved censorship orders at a higher rate than it ever had before his takoever, especially in repressive places like Turkey and India. In the latter’s case, Twitter has bowed to government requests to censor unfavorable content from global view altogether—such as links to investigative documentaries—and to obscure Indians’ access to foreign governments’ official accounts 」
