Has anyone taken Kindle Unlimited? Could you please highlight prons and cons of taking the subscription? 

( I have a Kindle. I'm also an Amazon Prime member. I've been using Prime reading so far but options are pretty limited there.) 

Absolute garbage. An abomination. Most of the books available are either cheap romance by debutant writers or classics that are anyway available on the internet. 
On the other hand, I get most of the books I need on Torrents. I know, I know!

But then books are costly and yet necessary.

:D

How do you use Torrents for books? Please enlighten.

How do you use Torrents for books? Please enlighten. 

Just search the book you want with the exact name. You are likely to find Epub or Mobi format. Sometimes even PDF. The one with the highest amount of seed and leach is usually your preferred target. 

Rest you can convert the format to kindle usingthis.

Hope it helps. 

Which book do you want bdw?

I was hoping to not say this because intolerant intellectual are very intolerant of anything criticizing the religion of peace. Also because a few days back i saw a Muslim auto driver go out of his way to help a hindu Covid+ pregnant lady. I've seen a lot of examples of Muslims being more helpful than Hindus.

You probably live in a mostly Hindu state to think of India as Holi and diwali. But in states like kerala, telangana, TN, UP, Bihar, Assam, WB, etc. The picture of India seems a bit different. Crowded Mosque roads on fridays, sea of skull caps and 4 AM wake up call are the norm.

What I mean to say is that the second largest minority is large enough in most state for their backwardness to be of concern to everyone. What Ambedkar said about them in this book http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00ambedkar/ambedkar_partition/index.html#contents still holds true. They still don't believe in real science, just the stuff taught in madatsas. I'm traveling in a train right now. 6 out of 8 people in the cabin and side are Muslims and only I am wearing a mask. May be RSS taught them pseudo science too. Or may be they still believe in the infallibility of very hard sciences mentioned in that book of theirs. They still torture animals because it's halal. What's to say they won't follow the book and try to turn darul harb into darul islam by waging something mentioned in the same book.

Last time partition happened was because they were 23% and religion was more important to them than nation. It still is more so for the educated people working in private sector and even government.

I'm sorry if it sounds rude but by not acknowledging and addressing the backwardness of largest minority, pseudo intellectuals are further deepening the already deep divisions between the two communities.

@KratosOfPUBG I'm sure you feel better after unloading all those hateful generalisations. It seems like it always just turns out to be hatred underneath all these discussions nowadays. I just wish you hadn't inflicted them on us here. I would suggest Twitter - you will find an eager audience and fertile ground there. And sounding rude should be the least of your worries - your comment sounds, and is, poisonous and dangerously misled. 

Before you assign me a label too, I am not an intellectual - neither pseudo nor legitimate. I'm just somebody who cares about her country and wants to challenge things that are harmful to it - your comment being one of them.

@whatonly How much we try we can't change this AT ALL! Tried and tested - people would keep these generalisations all their life, spit the venom everywhere and feel satisfied.

I just don't see why is there boxing of people into religion and caste and gender ? Can't just they think others as human and respect the "other" as human (which they apparently think the members from minority are- not fellow mates but "other")!  

Rightly suggested twitter is the place , if twitter removes you like they did torunout, then go to Instagram - but please people don't do this here. 

@mehuifs Lol is the thing. No amount of moral reasoning would work . God give them strength to live through this hatred. 

P.S : Just one piece of advice , behind these anonymous names there are some real people who might belong to these communities - don't hurt their feelings.

Narrow reading+ Biased judgements+ Super arrogance= Modern day bigot.

Mr. Whoever you are, if you understood even 1% of what this country is you wouldn't have made such stupid remarks.

You seem to be too interested to quote Ambedkar,  Why aren't you bothered about what that man lived for? People like you who quote Ambedkar and ignore the constitution in the same breathe are the biggest misfortunes of this country today.

All you 'observations ' are irritating so better keep it to yourself. Read more and talk less, specially on things you have no idea about.

I have observed that whenever someone tries to point out shortcomings and change to Hindu community or any other community, some people take offense. They attack the person for having a 'hidden' agenda or for being selective to that particular religion only.

I think this is human nature. Whenever someone points out our mistakes, we try to resist and divert attention. But, that does not make that person selective or with agenda.Regarding PBM or any other 'intellectual', there is no point debating about them being biased or having agenda. I think, if what they are arguing is based on rational thinking/logic, we should try to incorporate them.  Otherwise, tackle their argument with own rational analysis and move on. We will achieve nothing by trying to argue - 'that religion has also xyz, why don't you call them out ?'

Every religion needs reform with time. Just pointing out others shortcomings does not make us the ideal one.

Nowadays, before preaching anything to anyone, I just remember Gandhiji's quote - "be the change you want to see in this world."

My original response was about 2 things - identity crisis pe my personal opinion, and glorification of hinduism as something perfect. I agree with you perfectly when you say hinduism is changin gradually. I never contested that. My point is that we are still in a state of flux and during this period of change our multiple identities may come under stress and conflict with eash other leading to identity crisis.

I don’t know if pbm is a hypocrite or stooge of some political masters, that is not what I want to talk about besides uske article mujhe toh smjh nhi aate. My only defence for him was the defence of intellectual freedom to question , probe , scrutinise societal issues, religion etc

Your issue seems to be dont criticise x unless you criticise y and z as well. If that is how we are supposed to proceed then i am never saying rajma chawal sucks unless i also say chole chawal and dal chawal are also not perfect 😂

If you or pbm will try to portray my religion in bad light just because it has some problems,I have every right to compare my religion with other religions on that basis. 

When Hindus vote as a group,pbm will cry why Hindus r getting polarised but When Muslims vote as a group,he will term it as victory of secularism. 

People like him will cry about how sanskritisation of tribals is happening ,but will not utter a word when missionaries convert the poor tribals en masse , using their rice bag tactics. 

So in above cases ,his focus is not on polarization or preserving tribal identify,rather on how to criticize Hindus . 

Religion is not rajma chawal ,it is a way of life for us . For u maybe,it is just another commodity like shirt or rajma chawal🤣🤣,that is why u r having an identity crisis perhaps .

You have every right to criticise x ,y or z but if they are living together in a society ,you can't play pick nd choose.






do compare , but be cautious to benchmark with the best not the worst aspects, otherwise it may lead to complacency, stagnation and rigidities like the ones that had come to characterise hinduism during medieval period like caste, superstition, obscurantism.

And this double attitude of labelling groups in not exclusive to hindu- muslim debate, you see the same hypocrisy when backwards vote for any party in group and  its called vote bank politics, while when 80% members of an upper caste vote for a party its called vikas.
And you can always pick and choose if one group is so dominant that When you think about india the pictire that comes to mind is not of a christian going to church but that do hindu playing holi diwali.

80%of higher caste people voting for a lowet caste PM alone should tell you something.

Caste, superstition and other backwardness should be addressed for all the religions equally and immediately. But "intellectualism" in India is interpreted as trashing Hinduism. Putting down Hindus and then keep kicking them. This practice in itself is equally backwards and medieval.

If you want to call yourself intellectual, you should be able to address all the backwardness in society without sounding like a biased elitist.

Ambedkar did it, why can't modern day wannabe intellectuals.

I was hoping to not say this because intolerant intellectual are very intolerant of anything criticizing the religion of peace. Also because a few days back i saw a Muslim auto driver go out of his way to help a hindu Covid+ pregnant lady. I've seen a lot of examples of Muslims being more helpful than Hindus.

thank you very mcuh for elevating my status from an aspirant to intellectual. I didnt know expressing opinion here  is synonymous to intellectualism. If you purpose is to improve their socio economic conditions, go ahead and ask the govt to raise the budget of education to 4%, provide scholarship for foreign education, make it mandatory for top educational institutions to have a certain level of diversity in campuses, do everything to find gems like kalam and support them. I dont have any objection to such noble intentions. You have my full support.

I dont know what these terms darul islam etc means, but if its a call for one muslim suprastate, then its a flawed concept - sounds good, doesnt work . I dont see state as a concept for political oganisation being replaced by any other concept in foreseeable future. Arguable asian heartland and gulf are all muslim nations yet the region continues to be the most restive and divided. Bngladesh is a great example of how same religion doesnt mean same interests, India -nepal realtion is also good example. Depsite being majority hindu nations, the relationship has been very difficult to manage.

Or bhai i really feel sad that despite being in majority, despite an apparently pro-hindu government in power, you feel insecure and spend restless nights worrying about a muslim takeover, worrying abut conspiracies by pesudo intellectuals.

I was also not hoping to say this but through your comments you ahve only made the case stronger for that pbm quote. You first said hinduism is the coolest(sense of superiority), then hindus are being put down and being kicked (sense of harm and a sense of weakness). Yhi paradoxical mixtre of sentiment ki to baat kar rha hai wo

and i wont reply on this topic anymore mene jawab de diya hai

first of all, you are not a moderator here . so don't tell people what they should say here nd what not. If something is objectionable ,i m sure moderators will look into nd decide.Here, we all  agree on problems but differ greatly on solutions to those problems.  Everyone is free to voice his/her opinion ,no matter what the issue is .


Second, his  whole argument is about double standards of ''intellectuals'' or whatever . The aim should be to discuss and address the problems of  society as a whole most of the times ,rather on focusing on just one religion nd its evils. 

For example -when u discuss superstitions nd lack of rationalism - you need to see Indian society as a whole. You can't keep bashing Hindu religion alone for it nd I can't keep bashingMuslims alone for that.  

Similarly , it one keeps portraying  Hinduism/Islam in poor light by giving example of poor status of women in that particular community ,it would be injustice .you don't want just Hindu women to progress while leaving Muslim women on their own. 

If you use all your energy in showing how Vedas , Geeta nd Manu smriti give irrational  justifications for caste based discrimination nd poor status of women,  while not uttering a word what Quran says about women and non-muslims, it wouldn't do good to our society .

It also doesn't mean that every time you talk about evils of Hinduism , you also have to portray problems of Islam.  Not at all. but when someone talks about problems of Muslims ,don't get rattled nd start to give arguments like hate and all. Also, saying that large no. of Muslims are conservative , backwards nd believe in pseudo sciences ,is not a generalization . It also does not mean that they are backwards just because of believing in their religion . They also face stereotypes nd discrimination in the society ,which further leads to their backwardness . 

We live in a secular society ,where politicial ,eco and social interests of diff communities are interlinked . If Muslims remain backwards nd only Hindus progress , it would create further problems . As we read in history , how Hindus became more progressive during 19th-20th centuries ,on the other hand Muslims remained conservative and backwards .This was one of the most imp reasons for rise in communalism, along with other imp reasons.

Yar mujhe toh ek din Lahore jaa ke Chole Bhatoore bhi khane hain aur apni Nani ka ghar bhi dekhna hai. Itni hate aur bigotry has neither fetched us anything in the past, nor it ever will. And there are no 'already deep' divisions between the two communities in question, they exist only in the ecosystem that you thrive in! I wish I could lament upon the amity that I have been a witness to at a personal level amidst different communities despite 'the past.'

Knew I was going to be lynched and ostracized the moment I hit submit. So let me apologize for my misguided notions. I was thrown off by empirical evidences. I was clearly wrong.

More muslims leads to a more modern and democratic society, more rights to minorities and women. More socialism leads to more prosperity. Hinduism clearly is the worst religion and all the terror organizations have based their propaganda on Hinduism. We must end Hinduism at once.

Last time partition happened was because they were 23% and religion was more important to them than nation. It still is more so for the educated people working in private sector and even government.

I'm sorry if it sounds rude but by not acknowledging and addressing the backwardness of largest minority, pseudo intellectuals are further deepening the already deep divisions between the two communities.

Narrow reading+ Biased judgements+ Super arrogance= Modern day bigot.

Mr. Whoever you are, if you understood even 1% of what this country is you wouldn't have made such stupid remarks.

You seem to be too interested to quote Ambedkar,  Why aren't you bothered about what that man lived for? People like you who quote Ambedkar and ignore the constitution in the same breathe are the biggest misfortunes of this country today.

All you 'observations ' are irritating so better keep it to yourself. Read more and talk less, specially on things you have no idea about.

Bolt bhai , dont run too fast to use terms like 'biggest misfortunes of this country' 'modern day bigots' etc.

Say whatever u have to but plz refrain from such adjectives- at least on this platform 

Thanks
