The Civils Mains result has been declared. This thread is for sharing your grief , joy , mixed feelings - absolutely anything and everything.
This is just sad. I remember reading Khalid Hosseini's books as a teenager. The description of women in the novels was painstaking. I am sure the situation at the ground level would be worse..
All the so called "powerful countries of the world", have had a lot of "contribution" in creating the problem of taliban in the first place. Did they really think that Taliban would follow the Doha Agreement in letter and spirit?
Meanwhile USA is literally running for their lives.. The President of Afghanistan has left the country.. Where have we come to??
The world is quite a sad place at this juncture.. People are dying from Covid, Floods, Droughts, Wildfires etc.. and those who are not dying by all these , are being killed mercilessly by their fellow species :(
This is what I have been feeling today. We are celebrating our independence and other country and the people are loosing their independence. As said by someone, we should not compare our country with Afghanisthan and should thrive for morer, it was not for comparison but a feeling of pain for our brethrens and sisters in other part of the world.
Independence and democracy celebrations should never halt at our doors rather there should be a hope and will among us for lightening other's households with the light of democracy and independence, even more when they are our neighbours and we are directly impacted by any actions of them.
Rightly said about the sense of pride and the geopolitical impacts it would cause. It would strenghten the position of Pakistan more, china is already engaging with taliban, which would place it at a higher pedestal then us in their interaction. China-pakistan bonhomie would work more strongly along with Russia. Not only Afghan people but we also have been ditched by America, who left us in this geopolitical mess to work our our own path.
America's ministers have blamed the Afghan army and political leadership because they couldn't protect their country, but they should be blamed as well. War for democracy and against terrorism was started by them, if they couldn't continue more, they should have atleast remained till there was a political solution to the problem.
The political leadership has charted out its own path leaving the citizens at the mercy of taliban.
About the community celebrating on twitter, these are some fringe elements like we have in other religions and they are really not representing the whole population. This is also what I see as the result of the communalisation and polarisation in the recent times.
I really hope good will prevails and the women, minorities and the citizens could lead a peaceful life there, of course none of which I see it in near time.
I certainly do blame USA for this mess. Last year with their Soleimani assassination, I was rudely awaken to how consequence-free USA conducts its geopolitics. This whole mess is their doing, while they would certainly like to disown them, the Taliban was birthed by them, it’s their baby. More immediate reasons are certainly the diversity of Afghanistan, the rampant corruption of the government and the passive support the Taliban enjoys amongst a lot of their population, by virtue of them being Pashtuns, anti-American sentiments and a shared religious outlook. The Taliban is religiously fundamentalist but most Afghan villages are almost equally fundamental in their religious beliefs.Although I hope your assertion about people celebrating being in the minority is correct, there’s a couple of factors that tend to develop this kind of support, which I fear is actually mildly very pervasive. One is of course a shared religious identity and another major factor is anti-Americanism. Anti-Americanism amongst Muslims itself has a myriad of reasons behind it. The result is that a huge population, while not all supporting and celebrating, are decently comfortable with this.It’s pretty sad because Muslims themselves are the biggest victims of this situation, and by a huge margin.Days like these are the ones when I desperately wish that a god actually exists because humanity on its own isn’t going to make things better.
This is so true. For America, nothing is more important than its own geopolitical interests. It calls itself as the guard of democracy and rights , but in actuality its not. It prioritises its national interest before anything else. They lived when they wished and left when they wished. And rightly said, taliban is their own child, they provided it with weapons and training and now when the child has grown up and started threatening parents, they are abandoning it and leaving Afghans at the mercy of their obnoxious child.
I think Majority in India won't be happy, because the victims are also members from the community. I wish this world community and leaders could have done something for them.
@Agog so sorry bhai( I respect your views but it’s not necessary that we both should have same views) . Let’s leave it here only and focus on what we can do i.e Prelims rather than what is beyond our control
"Look at their trickery,” she said, noting that the previous government had cut taxes on fuels but left the current government with oil bonds. “We don’t do so many tricks like the UPA government. They issued oil bonds for which the principal amount is over Rs 1 lakh crore, and for the last seven fiscals, the government has been paying over Rs 9,000 crore interest annually… If I did not have the burden to service the oil bonds, I would have been in a position to reduce excise duty on fuel” - FM
Interest on oil bonds to be paid - avg 10k crore
Duty collected from fuel increased from 99k crore in 2014-15 to 2 lakh crore in 2019-20 to around 3 lakh crore in 2020-21. 😒
Kuch bhi bolte ministers
