He is hoping for big wins for Trump and Tulsi.

Trump shifted embassy to Jerusalem while Sanders considers Israeli settlements illegal. Jews are without doubt one of the most left-leaning bloc but be prepared for a shock in Trump v Sanders.

I don’t even know what is Skeleton and Bobsleigh. Only thing I know about Luge is Shiva Keshavan.

I think Bernie would be able to retain the Black/Hispanic vote. Not sure what is the voting preference of Jews but I think it normally leans towards Dems but may swing to Trump in case of Trump v Bernie. Another Dem group that might swing to Trump or abstain instead of voting for Bernie is Indian-Americans, but only first generation ones. But both these groups are not that big in number that it would make any difference. Biggest issue for Dems is how many moderates and independents would vote for Bernie and what impact would selecting an independent have on party structure.

I have another question, why is DNC using this complicated unfair system to select presidential nominee instead of direct vote count?

Game of Thrones redux

Bhutan is a constitutional monarchy. Three different parties have won the three general elections in Bhutan since switch from absolute monarchy. Nepal’s present constitution after a bitter civil war in which Maoists were fighting a violent war to overthrow the existing regime is only couple of years old. So, early to comment on how it will pan out.

Olympic qualifier wrestling tournament in Bishkek cancelled over coronavirus

Yes, I always check the reallocation pdf only. Reason I am giving Diksha 70-80% chance: I think some unknown person can also overtake her with just a couple of decent persons. Also, there is not much depth in Ladies Golf, so there won't be many withdrawals. For Men: I am sure a decent number of professionals will withdraw. So, I think we have 70-80% chance there as well. I am expecting 4 golfers to qualify. 1 in each gender is almost guaranteed. Would be extremely unlucky to miss out on 2nd in both genders. But there is a possibility that we miss out on 2nd quota in atleast one of the genders.

I won't support any amendment to Indian Constitution which would make Muslims or other minorities second-class citizens in India. 20% of Indian population is minorities and they are equal citizens of India. And I don't blame you or others for believing that Modi is evil. Its not your fault when even respected people have indulged in horrible propaganda about it. To give an example, after 2002 riots, Arundhati Roy, celebrated author, Man Booker Prize winner, kept on recounting a story about how a Hindu mob ripped open a pregnant lady's belly, took out the fetus, burned it alive and then raped the lady. Any sane person would be disgusted on hearing this. And when a person of Arundhati Roy's stature is telling the story, no one will think that it is fake. A number of Indian journalists, authors, well-wishers across the political spectrum tried to find out the details of the case, so that swift and exemplary justice could be done in the case. Lal Krishna Advani, then Home Minister of India, and Narendra Modi's political mentor also tried to contact Arundhati Roy to find the details. Arundhati Roy could never give definite details of the case. No name of the victim, no name of witnesses who saw it, no name of place where it happened. All these details would either keep on changing or were kept vague. Till date, she has neither recanted the story nor given details. There are numerous such examples.

At present we are on track to qualify 4 golfers to Tokyo. 2 in both genders. Rashid Khan is at 53 in IGF Olympic rankings, after deducting players not eligible due to NOC limit. Udayan Mane is at 60. Sharma and Kapur are R2 and R3. I expect a decent amount of professional golfers will skip Olympics, so we are in decent position to get atleast 1 men Golfer. Realistically, 2 is feasible. Aditi at 38 is almost surely qualified to Olympics. Diksha is at 57 at present. I think there is not much depth in Ladies Golf, so one decent result can push someone else in qualifying spot, so Diksha is not safe but there is hope. So, we should qualify 2-4 golfers for Olympics.

So, I am assuming we would be welcomed like this:

Not a smart move.....

Hindu nationalists want Uniform Civil Code while Indian seculars want the present system where all religions have their separate Civil Code. Hindu nationalists want that Government should not run any places of worship while Indian seculars want the present system where Government can take-over any Hindu temple/trust/charity but cannot do so with minority places of worships/trusts/charity. Hindu nationalists want Article 29-30 of Indian constitution gone while Indian seculars want the present system where minority education institutions have full autonomy and are no subject to Government regulations and reservations that Hindu run educational institutions have to face. Hindu nationalists think India is an ancient civilization while Indian seculars think that the land that is India at present was wasteland in the past which was enriched only by invading Central Asian raiders and western colonial powers. They think that India is an artificial construct of the British territories in South Asia.

Ohh I am sure John Oliver is thorough in his research. I am also sure he is a sensible person with good level of intelligence and deduction. I am not accusing John Oliver to be stupid or naive, I am accusing John Oliver of malice and prejudice. I am sure during his thorough research, JO found out that Indian Constituent Assembly debated on the inclusion of word Secular in Preamble of Constitution but omitted it and the original copy of Indian Constitution has pictures of various Hindu Gods. I am sure he also knows that India is an ancient civilization and Nehru/Gandhi are not founders of India but one of the founding fathers of the present Indian Republic. I am sure he is aware that Gandhiji himself considered Ram Rajya as the ideal state. He calls RSS a para-military group. Now, RSS members don't carry any weapons. They do have a stick as part of their uniform that they wear at times of their sessions and while performing civic services but that uniform is also based on Seva Dal created by Gandhiji and not on SS, as JO would have us believe. JO knows the truth because he is thorough and still he misguides people. JO points out one interview in which Modi walked out. I am sure JO was able to find out the thousands of interviews, Modi has given since 2002 where he has talked to even international reporters about 2002 riots. I am sure JO is even aware that Modi was questioned by Supreme Court appointed team multiple times for his alleged involvement in 2002 riots. And these investigations took place when UPA, Modi's opponents, were in power. The conviction rates for 2002 riots is among the best India signalling the exemplary work done by Gujarat police. But, bringing out these facts doesn't support JO's agenda, hence JO conveniently skips them. JO is an intelligent person. I am sure he has read the CAA and hence knows that it is one-time amnesty for religious refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. And that no rules for NRC has been framed till now. Still, he throws figures like millions of Muslims would be thrown in detention centers. He shows a clip of a detention center being built but doesn't disclose that the said detention center is being built in the state of Asom, where NRC has been implemented on orders of SC, on the basis of Assam Accord signed in 1985 by then Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi (grandson of Nehru). Modi/Shah have clarified multiple times, in parliament, in rallies, in interviews, through Social media, that whenever national NRC will be brought, the rules for inclusion will not be as strict as that in Asom. JO would have come across these statements but again how will he stoke fire if he reports truth? JO knows that any person would have to prove that he is a religious refugee from PAB who came to India before 31/12/2014 to get Indian citizenship under CAA and hence this method is harder than proving Indian citizenship outright.

I am sure neither you nor John Oliver can even define Hindu, let alone define Hindu nationalism, so having a debate on that is futile. (Modi is for sure a Hindu nationalist, and so am I). You also think Slumdog Millionaire is respectable source.

When I saw that John Oliver had done his piece on Modi, my first thought was “Oh boy, now @Olympian1010 would go on a rant on Modi.” I even watched the video to counter your imminent rant but after watching the video, I gave up. I simply don’t have the time and patience to correct the various mistakes in the video.

Last I checked California was still part of US. Trump is President of US and hence, President of California as well.

Unless the said system elects Trump, when we go on streets shouting “Not My President”

Only if the relay is a Mixed Team Event.

Dude you don't need to ask each and every Indian user for permission. You posted a long time back that you would be participating in the contest. Onus is on others to contact you if they have some song in mind.

Divya is not through to the finals but has already won the Gold medal.
