So the red tape has moved online. There is no escape to government owned bullshit.

Scientifically speaking, everything is wrong in that article.

But they hold lived experience as a true source of knowledge. They say that there is a invisible thing which is the consciousness or purusha which we cannot accept as matter is everything according to modern science.

So understand the whole system, try it out and see if floating poop actually makes you feel better and more productive at work!

If anyone has any questions, I am here to answer them, I am the author, thanks.

If Trump Offered Zero Tariffs on Indian Products, Would India Buy Russian Oil?

I don't think India will have any incentive to buy Russian oil if Trump makes favourable trade deals with India, it is known that USA can't manufacture a lot many goods because of lack of cheap labour which India has in abundance along with democracy and a rule of law.Why is USA being so hostile to India, I simply don't understand!

Let me know if anyone requires our services for Bookkeeping/Accounting.

Hey! I'm the author and here's the clarification:

That was the official response I got from the district administration so had to post it. Also was being pressured by the government (indirectly) to take it down. So that was all bs. Next update I'll give is when I will have solved the problem.

Author of the article here:

All the land in India is agricultural by default. Except in some desert states.

This statement makes no sense. You're putting out political opinions on the lives of people without any idea of the reality.

The caste system was a part of India but every Government since independence has made attempts and continues to make everything possible to make the lives of the historically lower castes better off.

Not to mention India was forced to become a USSR ally because the USA had sent their aircraft carrier in a India Pakistan war to support the Pakistan side. And then the USSR sent their aircraft carrier in India's defence.

Hi Wincy, Sorry to drop my comment here without any scientific evidence or any such certification of experience.

But I had a similar condition in my childhood. Many doctors thought it was some form of complicated asthama or something but couldn't figure out what exactly was it.

Then my parents put me in an breathing camp (yoga retreat kind of thing). I was there for six months and we were convinced there that breathing is life. Breathing is the most important thing in and for life. And slowly, the condition disappeared.

The condition was more of an impediment in the brain blocking the breathing command when I got upset unlike some incurable damage to the lungs. Just teaching and reminding us to breath every second for six months made things a lot better.

If there's no such camp/retreat in your country, you could try India.

Robots who could replace some manual labour work within a specified area (say: factories), don't need to rely on batteries. We could attach them with a huge wire and plug it into power supply.

So if they want to a class where a teacher was general present but everyone learned through KA while doing interactive activities in between - how about that?
How about a general tutor + KA? So the tutor will take of queries and keep a class full of children interactive - but children will learn maths through KA?

Ask HN: Will you send your child to Khanacademy instead of a physical school?

Khanacademy has maths and science for K to 12. Harari's free and open YT course on Sepians is enough for world history.So except for local geography, local history and local civics and polity and the art of making real life friends, there's nothing a physical school offers that Khanacademy + YT doesn't. So would you send your kids to the internet for school?

Wow! That's a lot of stuff.

And I agree that these things need to be done. And I am not against it if the people there follow the procedure and do the things that are needed to be done.

But what if one of the people from the government doing the survey/inspection just refuses to sign the paper! It's just crap. You can't complain to anyone nor can you do anything else. You're just stuck.

That's where my problem lies.

Re:I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India on Monday August 10, 2020 @07:28PM (#24115427)
Almost all land in India is agricultural land.

There's very little industrial land. And all of that is used.

Great. Hadn't heard of this concept before. But seems perfect to describe the situation.

Thanks.

Wow! Thanks for mentioning the work of Hernando de Soto. I had never heard of the work before but will surely read the book now.

It's great to find out about how it works in Eastern Europe.

My father would have and has always done what you mentioned. Just pay it up and continue. And I agree totally with it.

But anyway due to Covid-19, the construction activity isn't going to start anytime soon. So I ave decided to play it out completely and see how far and deep this mess is.

No, I don't find the amount reasonable because of two reasons:

1) They charge so high because there are few players with so many internal contacts. So this is a monopoly or oligopoly market just taking advantage of the system. I mean it is hard because of these people. These people lobby to keep such systems in place.

2) It is unreasonable for any government, especially in a developing country to make so many demands of the illiterate and poor population. If such a situation continues, poor people will never be able to manufacture anything.

This creates a social division almost alike slaves and masters. Alike the Soviet System of the Elite Aristocrats, Their friends in rich, non-competition businesses and the government and the serfs and peasants.

They don't point to any agent because that person will take a cut into what I could directly pay the beautocrat themselves.

But there are a few visiting cards stuck with glue on the table. Visiting cards of such agents.
