"Why should [Kashmiris] want to be a part of India? For what earthly reason? If freedom is what they want, freedom is what they should have.

1. Okay, here is a brief thread on Chile. As you know, there have been widespread protests in recent days, driven primarily by economic inequality (Chile is one of the most unequal countries in the world).

ASI insiders say it is ‘unusual’ that the 16th-century Purana Quila is being dug up second time in just over a year.

One accusation on socialists is that we want revenge on the exploiters. No we do not, for any revenge the workers deserve is beyond imagination. We just want a better world, for capitalism is based on extraction.

@shirishag75 Liberals are people who believe in the idea of liberty of individual, democracy, minimum govt, free market, freedom of expression and equality of various types. Not everything may apply to everyone, but roughly I'm talking about the few urban Indians who call themselves liberals.
