Very likely they are planning to leave. There’s a small chance that they have some family issues or burnout though. You will want to have a conversation about the latter. When people zone out, it usually is the former though, in my experience.
The central claim: “Our findings show that religion-state integration emboldens Buddhist vigilantes to attack religious minorities.”

Which can’t be a surprise to anyone, especially to Tamils who have witnessed the pogroms in Sri Lanka the last half century.

1. No press freedom: what explains the presence and popularity of the wire, scroll, news minute, the quint, etc? Traditional print media that’s critical of the current party in power includes The Hindu, Telegraph etc. That there’s no press freedom is false.

2. Ethno-nationalist state: what ethnicity are we talking about here? BJP loses often in elections locally, and majority of their opponents are Hindus.

What India has always been is illiberal. You are weakening your point by exaggerating the current conditions.

Moreover this prosed ban is because we have an overzealous bureaucracy that doesn’t understand technology and does not care to. It’s got nothing to do with what India has become.

Which article?
Re:Bakhshali Manuscript on Monday October 30, 2023 @10:24AM (#38069820)
It’s in a proto-sharada script, which it seems can be dated to earlier than 5th century.

There’s no consensus on dating of the Bakhshali manuscript however: https://www.ams.org/publicoutreach/feature-column/fc-2018-06

Looks like he was doing his patriotic duty.”Thiel's reporting to the FBI was largely limited to foreign contacts and attempts by foreign governments to penetrate Silicon Valley.”

Not uncommon in rest of the world. Once upon a time, it was American journalists who enthusiastically did this:

1. C.I.A. Established Many Links To Journalists in U.S. and Abroad: https://www.nytimes.com/1977/12/27/archives/cia-established-...

2. Correspondence and collusion between the New York Times and the CIA: https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/aug/29/corres...

731 AD, Champa (modern day Vietnam) princeling Nandivarman becomes the Pallava Emperor and is crowned at Kanchipuram, modern day Tamil Nadu, India.

TBF, I remember this only because I have been reading D Dennis Hudson’s work.
