Tamil ultimately also gave the English language the word ‘orange’, by which I mean it posed at the heart of it a problem for English rhyming that has never truly been resolved. Love that for us. No I don’t wanna hear about this ‘door hinge’ shit Marshall

candy

late 13c., "crystallized sugar," from Old French çucre candi "sugar candy," ultimately from Arabic qandi, from Persian qand "cane sugar," probably from Sanskrit khanda "piece (of sugar)," perhaps from Dravidian (compare Tamil kantu "candy," kattu "to harden, condense").

everyone's heard of the south indians having reactions of visceral loathing when it comes to hindi stereotype but y'all forget about the most dramatic mfs out there when it comes to hating on hindi and hindi centricism

Quite unjust if I don't write anything in my mother tongue. So here's a thought:

സ്നേഹം കാണിക്കാനുള്ളതാണ് ഒളിപ്പിക്കാനുള്ളതല്ല

Transliteration: (Sneham kaanikkaanulladhaan olippikkanulladhalla)

Roughly translated means:

"Love is something that's to be shown, not to be kept hidden!"

It's so funny how sanghiblr will selectively criticize NCERT. They will harass them for sources about medieval and mughal history, but will parrot the "harappan and vedic civilisations are one and the same" bullshit in NCERT that has been proven to be false. Because that one fits their agenda and the ridiculous claim that aryans are indigenous or whatever.

no scientist would deny that black people lived in Europe, and likely all over the entire Eurasian / African super-continent; before caucasians came in. Black Africans have been seafaring and crossing the Atlantic for millennia. Scientists now agree that even before the younger dryas, seafaring peoples also populated the Americas via Pacific island chains. There's no dispute that at least 3 different genetic sources of humans entered the Americas, including as well the Siberian-American landbridge. beyond dispute that white people originated from south Asia / India, and / or Hindi culture (hence, Indo-European meaning, Hindo or Hindu-European); it makes sense that this was a mercy program for people with albinism, born in the tropics of South Asia and India, to migrate north in their lifetime to seek a life away from the sun that would leave them burnt and with lowered life expectancy. No scientist would argue with the statement that India sent their albinos north and that became what we know as "caucasians" today, so calling caucasians "dravidian albinos" seems pretty accurate to me, almost seems beyond scientific debate at this point, but this write up does a nice job of at least conveying the fragility among audiences on this topic. Is it true some white people get offended by this analysis? holy snowflake meltdown batman I'm a human first and foremost, but i won't deny i am typically perceived as a white guy, this does not offend me whatsoever, I'm just genuinely curious where the controversy or confusion is ...

Harappan Dancer

This is a female dancer from the Harappan civilization that spread over the Indus Valley in South Asia between 3300 and 1300 BC, being the first urban culture known to develop in the subcontinent. Her jewelry is referenced from a bronze statuette uncovered at the Harappan site of Mohenjo-daro in what is now northern Pakistan, but whereas the original sculpture showed a nude figure, I gave my version a top and loincloth to make it safer for work.
