Are the Communists Quietly Taking Over the Congress Party?
On Tuesday, 16 April 2024, security forces carried out a major anti-insurgency operation in Kanker district of Chattisgarh and successfully neutralized 29 dreaded naxalite terrorists including a top naxal commander, Shankar Rao according to today news in Hindi.
Understandably, people all over the district, state and country received the news with a sense of relief particularly because the neutralized naxal commander, Rao carried a bounty of Rs. 25 lakhs on his head — dead or alive.
Ideally, you would expect all political parties cutting across ideological barriers to express relief at such a major success for the security forces just before elections, won’t you? Well, that’s not what the country’s main opposition party, the Indian National Congress thinks.
Most Hindi news and other media outlets reported that the former Congress chief minister of Chattisgarh, Bhupesh Baghel had issued a kneejerk reaction to the incident by terming it as a “Fake encounter”. Later, he backtracked from his earlier remark and issued a congratulatory note for the security force personnel involved in the operation.
As if that was not enough, a national level spokesperson of the Congress party while briefing the media, referred to the eliminated naxal terrorists as “Martyrs” as per today news in Hindi. Who would call a naxal neutralized in an encounter with security forces, “Martyr”? Obviously, only fellow naxals.
Does that mean the Congress believes in the naxal ideology of violence and sabotage against the government? If not, then why has the Congress termed the neutralized naxal terrorists as “Martyrs”?
The Congress spokesperson did not stop there if you go by today news in Hindi and went on to demand a high level investigation of the incident as if to suggest that this was some kind of a fake encounter. This is not just disgraceful but also a sinister ploy to harm the unity and integrity of the country.
Many political observers are of the opinion that these days Congress has taken a sharp turn towards left wing politics, which is visible in the way their maverick leader Rahul Gandhi goes about doing his politics.
Some day he goes into a temple, another day he is seen in Muslim attire complete with the netted skull cap, praying with Muslims and the next day he vanishes out of the country meeting designer leftists in Europe and America. Here in India, he has hired controversial communists like Kanhaiya Kumar and Supriya Shrinate, the Congress spokesperson who honoured the neutralized naxals as “Martyrs”.
Although Rahul Gandhi is not the party president, he is the one who takes decisions about whatever his party is doing, say observers on today news in Hindi. There are some people in Congress who will not agree with the branding of neutralized naxals as “Martyrs” but that group is as helpless as the party’s official president today.
The Congress Party’s association with the communists in India date back to the days of the freedom struggle when many communists had infiltrated the Indian National Congress just as they are doing now. If you look at the way India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru spoke and took decisions, there is not much difference between him and his great grandson, Rahul Gandhi.
If the Congress continues to move toward the left with no check it won’t be long before it goes the naxal way and many of its members get caught up with real world sedition. That will further marginalize this party even in areas where it has a strong base with local leaders to drive it. The results of this general election will set the tone for what happens to the Indian National Congress.

Another milestone in medical history
The late Chief Minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy, who made 108 and 104 services available even to the remote villages, was the life-giver of the poor. YS got the credit of making ambulances come and wait wherever an accident happened, whenever someone got sick.As his son, Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy intensified the services of 108 and 104. Bike ambulances are being made available to go to the remote hilly areas where even 108 ambulances and feeder ambulances cannot go...

History.
Ahh, history. There's been a lot of it. Enough to go around, you might say. There's been a fair few billions of years of this most elusive metaphysical substance, and a few things of note have happened within that time: dinosaurs roamed the Earth, then didn't. Cities emerged. The Greeks ate very well and sh*gged each other senseless, then didn't. The wheel was invented somewhere down the line, as was sliced bread. Dogs were domesticated (as were cats, sort of). Some smart folk put the alphabet together. The printing press was invented. The Industrial Revolution happened and sent us on a violent forward and backward trajectory simultaneously. Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at The Oscars (2022). It's been a busy old time, that's for sure, but the clock keeps-a-tickin', and the wheel keeps-a-turnin'. Come tick along with us as we celebrate all that is strictly past tense: #history.

I was wondering why Luigi almost never says "Mario" in the Japanese dub, and only ever calls him "Niisan."
I looked it up, and apparently calling your older sibling by their first name is considered impolite in Japanese culture?
So it makes sense Luigi just calls Mario "Niisan." I think the only exception is when he first arrives in the Darklands, where after calling out "Niisan" and not getting a response he calls out "Mario" once...
...probably a last ditch effort to see if his sibling would respond, I guess.

"The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a surprising 5-4 ruling in favor of Black voters in a congressional redistricting case from Alabama, with two conservative justices joining liberals in rejecting a Republican-led effort to weaken a landmark voting rights law.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh aligned with the court’s liberals in affirming a lower-court ruling that found a likely violation of the Voting Rights Act in an Alabama congressional map with one majority Black seat out of seven districts in a state where more than one in four residents is Black. The state now will have to draw a new map for next year’s elections.
The decision was keenly anticipated for its potential effect on control of the closely divided U.S. House of Representatives. Because of the ruling, new maps are likely in Alabama and Louisiana that could allow Democratic-leaning Black voters to elect their preferred candidates in two more congressional districts.
The outcome was unexpected in that the court had allowed the challenged Alabama map to be used for the 2022 elections, and in arguments last October the justices appeared willing to make it harder to challenge redistricting plans as racially discriminatory under the Voting Rights Act of 1965...
The case stems from challenges to Alabama’s seven-district congressional map, which included one district in which Black voters form a large enough majority that they have the power to elect their preferred candidate. The challengers said that one district is not enough, pointing out that overall, Alabama’s population is more than 25% Black.
A three-judge court, with two appointees of former President Donald Trump, had little trouble concluding that the plan likely violated the Voting Rights Act by diluting the votes of Black Alabamians. That “likely” violation was the standard under which the preliminary injunction was issued by the three-judge panel, which ordered a new map drawn.
But the state quickly appealed to the Supreme Court, where five conservative justices prevented the lower-court ruling from going forward. At the same time, the court decided to hear the Alabama case.
Louisiana’s congressional map had separately been identified as probably discriminatory by a lower court. That map, too, remained in effect last year and now will have to be redrawn.
The National Redistricting Foundation said in a statement that its pending lawsuits over congressional districts in Georgia and Texas also could be affected."
