Orienting and navigating a multi-cultural environment can be a good exercise in deconditioning oneself and increasing self-awareness, along with patience , acceptance and tolerance. Learning about various cultures and habits can come useful in professional life if you are managing a team with different nationalities, races and religions. It is definitely good training for a budding diplomat. You can also get to learn and gain best habits and features of other nations. These traits can also help us a lot in case we eventually come in contact with intelligent alien species of other planets. Rather than unconsciously shooting and bombing them in terror and fear of the unknown, we can consciously approach them with mutual goodwill and friendship so as to profit from their company.

I am not Chinese. The chinese has an issue with falun gong due to falun gong's discriminatory teachings against homosexuality and denial of modern medicine. However, stating that the Chinese are indulged in human experimentation on falun gong is far-fetched and is typical western propaganda which downplays their own excesses in China under chinese monarchy and their own role in bringing up a communist chinese government instead of a democratic one. The western powers including the US were democratic themselves back then but were concerned more with extracting economic and territorial concessions from monarchical China rather than treating it as an equal or paving the foundations for a democratic china back then, (if they were indeed serious about their self-proclaimed roles of champions of democracy back then.) So now we have a communist china indignant at the indignities perpetrated on it by the western so-called democratic nations during their period of exploitation. You are talking about discrimination by the Chinese against religious minorities in China forgetting the atrocities of the US against the american minorities of native americans, blacks and hispanics over there. Also atrocities of the US army in its invasive campaigns in Mexico, philliphines, Haiti, Panama,Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan and others are quite evident. Also as Jimmy Carter stated earlier, China since 1979 had not engaged in major wars while the US has been engaged in many, with the obvious human rights violations that come with it, considering that bombing of civilian and urban regions are a major part of its tactical doctrine regardless of the civilian casualties.

See, the media company that reported this is based in the US so there is a possibility of bias and propaganda. This has not been confirmed by neutral sources. It is possible that some atrocities of this sort happen in China, and it is also highly possible that prisoners of wars or others are used for similar purposes in some clandestine bases in the US. The US president and political officials does not necessarily have to know what is happening in such bases in the country and also will not be able to do much about it.

That could be because what I am saying is contradictory to capitalist owned western media narratives that you revere and worship as the absolute truth and nothing but the truth.

China does not have concentration camps similar to that in europe during world war era used for systematic genocide against the Jews, Gypsies , Slavs, transgenders and homosexuals. China does not have discriminatory laws against transgenders and homosexuals in its legislation, and is even considered a safe haven for jews for centuries. China has arbitrarily detained more than one million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in a network of internment camps in the Xinjiang region since 2017 , and the Chinese government describes these facilities as voluntary "vocational education and training centers" meant to reduce poverty and counter extremism. This is possibly due to the Islamic insurgency in Xinjiang. They have not conducted invasive wars against islamic countries in a manner similar to that of the west in the aftermath of 9/11 and which is still ongoing.

China is an ancient civilization while US as a nation is just two centuries old. Even in Europe, apart from the romans and greeks, most countries are only a few centuries old . Both US and Europe (which includes Russia) does not have an ancient timeline necessary for solid wisdom and consequently I would say they are bound to be conflict-prone and prone to strategic errors as a consequence. The two world wars and cold war originating in the west is a major example of this. Also both China and India has nuclear weaponry but at the same time they have a no first strike policy due to ethical and humanistic reasons. This is in sharp contrast to the American, British, French and Russian policy of a nuclear first strike policy regardless of the consequences, and who at the same time are also at loggerheads with each other without any meaningful attempts at diplomacy and negotiations symbolic of wise policy making or wise understanding of the bigger picture. Any moment these guys can cease to exist due to poor judgement taken in the fog or rage of war.

How can you justify numerous invasions and replacing democratically elected governments with military dictatorships killing thousands of political dissidents for the sake of unethical trade, money and profits saying a dismissive "Most of these are over trade. " ! If these governments were stable and had flourished without external interventions , south america itself with its vast natural resources could have become a wealthy continent in all respects and contributed greatly to the global economy and stability. Instead we have an underdeveloped continent with poverty, technological backwardness and high illiteracy that should have been wiped out long back by its leaders. The Nazis for all their horrors never claimed to be champions of democracy , freedom loving, ethical and moral, and committed to human rights , and was honest at least in that regard.

The US, guided by its deluded political philosophy of manifest destiny, had indeed had waged wars against its neighbors. Its invasive war against canada ended in failure inspite of Jefferson's exhortation that Canada can be had by mere marching. However its war against mexico was successful leading to capture of over 55% of Mexican territory . This is a reason for the bad blood and ongoing feud between the US and Mexico. US had also waged wars and invasions in south american countries of Nicaragua, Haiti,Dominican repubic, Grenada, Panama, as well as a failed invasion of Cuba. The CIA was instrumental in unseating democratically elected governments in South America like that of Brazil, Guatemala,Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay replacing them with military dictatorships during Operation Condor whenever the corporate interests of the US was threatened by them. Many of these US allied military dictorships resulted in genocides in their countries, which was ignored by the west as long as their corporate interests were taken care of by these dictatorships. Chilean dictator Pinochet responsible for the torture and deaths of thousands of dissidents in Chile counted George Bush and Margaret Thatcher as his best friends who always bailed him out of trouble when accusations of human rights violations came up. Consequently the west and Latin America had essentially been at loggerheads with each other over the former's support of the military dictatorhsips.

What are your suggestions for mitigating the west ? Most of the conflicts and wars had and are still emerging from there , including the two world wars which originated in europe killing over a hundred million people, and which was constantly conflict-prone ! Europe is heavily traumatized by the incessant wars and world wars which has spilled an ocean of blood, and so is not much into warmongering at present but its role has now been taken up by the US. With respect to the US, former American president and Nobel prize winner for peace Jimmy Carter has lamented its continuous warmongering attitude and had favorably compared China with the US in this regard...

Maybe if the west did not attack and exploit China during the opium wars and treated it justly and fairly, it would not have become a communist dictatorship at present. Plutocrats and unethical capitalists ruling western countries through the deep state with politicians in their payroll and shaping the capitalist owned media narratives to manipulate the western middle/lower classes to do its bidding, back then and now, are the primary culprits for this debacle, imho.

Issue could be the legacy of the Opium wars in the nineteenth century involving China and west comprising of UK and France . The British smuggled opium and drugs to China back then reaping good profits from the same regardless of the ethical and moral concerns. Chinese authorities stopped the practice due to widespread addiction and consequent socio-economic issues. Angered by the ban on drugs, the UK and later on France, waged war against China and successfully forced them to lift the prohibition of drugs as well as extracting further economic and territorial concessions. The impotence of the Chinese government in dealing with the Western colonial powers led to the communist revolution in china later on. At present China is the third most powerful country on earth in economic and military terms and have nuclear arsenals that can wipe out any belligerent country or continent on earth . It's influence is fast increasing in Latin America, Asia and Africa. So consequently they are deeply hated in the west as China has emerged as a superpower resulting in increasing reduction of global influence and profits by western entities.

India's medical tourism market had reached 8.7 billion dollars in 2025 , and is expected to reach 16.2 billion dollars by 2030. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/india-medical-tourism-healthcare-tourist-visa-cheap-surgery-treatment-11763707 https://medicalbuyer.co.in/india-medical-tourism-market-to-hit-usd-53683-7m/ https://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/health/how-british-patient-swapped-a-3-year-nhs-wait-for-knee-surgery-in-india-and-saved-26000-101786428125654.html https://www.hindustantimes.com/trending/us/american-woman-praises-india-s-healthcare-says-us-system-makes-patients-go-into-debt-101774713451817.html Most of our customers come from the west due to spiralling healthcare costs of a bankrupting nature and which cost only a fraction in India. Long waiting lists are also a problem over there. I remember reading the interview of a retired American academic who decided to live the remainder of his life in India. His reasoning was that his savings would be wiped out in a few years in the US post-retirement due to the high costs of living there, while it enabled him to lead a comfortable life in India with dignity and grace for the remainder of his life due to inexpensive healthcare. He eventually died at the age of 88, getting adequate medical and healthcare treatment in India.

In some parts of rural India with rugged terrain cut off from access to high tech hospital facilities in the cities and towns, there are traditional healers and so on who indulge in some healing practices , some of which are valid and some are essentially superstitious. In traditional medical systems of India like Ayurveda and Siddha also, there are herbal medicines and treatment methods for snakebites, but which were not sought for treatment by the person in question. All cities and towns in India have super-speciality hospitals but the challenge for the Indian government is to ensure the same in inaccessible rural areas or clinics or rapid evacuation from rural to good hospitals in urban areas. I remember reading of hikers in the west injured after animal attacks or fire and dying due to blood loss before they were evacuated by air to faraway good hospitals. So such challenges are present around the world. In India, cows are considered sacred due to their economic output in an agrarian society . It is possible that ancient Indian ayurvedic physicians noted correlations between cows and immunity to small-pox, and this could have led to the widespread presence of cows in Indian cities and villages since ancient times. This prevented the spread of small-pox in India for milleniums while it was rampaging and causing heavy casualties around the world till small pox vaccinations came into being in 1796.

There are yogis with psychic abilities in India, but not in every corner. I have personally witnessed, heard and read about the same. I don't consider it a major deal, as anyone can develop these abilities with the right practices and environment. There are some people in the west as well with some inborn psychic abilities and I remember reading articles about them. So it is not much of a mystery over there, though they may not be able to fully understand the mechanism behind it. There are enlightened sages with highly advanced psychic abilities as well. What is said to be magic could be related to a combination of these genuine psychic abilities of some amateurs as well as cleverly engineered optical illusions . A genuine sage would not show off these abilities unless it is for inspiring faith or for practical utilities. I really wish such sages were there in all countries, as it would help bring down the dominant materialistic paradigm in many countries around the world which is putting blinders on morality and spirituality as such.

As per some scholars, the date September 11, 2001, was chosen by Islamic terrorists because of the european victory over the Turks on September 11,1683 in the battle of Vienna, which broke Turkish power permanently. After this battle, the Turks would gain no further ground in Europe and would never again challenge Vienna though they engaged in the Greek, Assyrian and Armenian genocides later on. The grooming gang scandal in the UK is an another recent manifestation of religious prejudice and hatred of some demented Islamists. A core belief in traditional and political Islam is that God's law (Sharia) is best for global society, and most Islamists want governments to use Sharia instead of Western legal systems. Taliban and the later ISIS were considered to be the epitome of an ideal society, and the Islamists felt that it was their holy mission and act of compassion to deliver Sharia governance to other countries as well even if it includes extreme violence. Public opinion polls however show that most everyday Muslims want democracy and fair legal systems, viewing their faith as a personal and moral guide rather than a tool for global conquest. They are fed up of fatwas, beheadings and amputations , lack of music and entertainment considered as Haram by the authorities. The women detest polygamy and talaq (instant divorce), burqas and other sharia rules but have to comply submissively fearing brutal punishment, and even endorse the same due to stockholm syndrome. Even liberal Islamic sects like sufism and Ahmediyas emphasizing music and scholarship respectively have been subject to persecution by the Islamists for having differences with mainstream Islamic doctrine. Some Islamic leaders have also endorsed use of wmd against western targets . Vigilance and pragmatism is key to preventing such weaponry ending up in the hands of terrorists.

Mastery of mass media. If you have control over mass media, you can manipulate and shape narratives that define yourself or your clients as world-class or the best of the best or having both substance and style, even if the contrary is true. You can even commit a crime and look innocent and righteous through skillful narratives.

The Macdonald Triad is used in crime-fighting to predict violent behavior in adults, and is a psychological toolkit used by the FBI. The triad links cruelty to animals, obsession with fire-setting, and persistent bedwetting past the age of five, to violent behaviors and especially criminal behavior later on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macdonald_triad Studies also show that communities with slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants experience higher rates of total arrests and violent or sexual crimes compared to areas with other industries.The findings revealed that an increase in slaughterhouse employment significantly predicted higher rates of total arrests, violent crimes, rape, and other sex offenses, distinct from the effects seen in other manufacturing sectors. https://www.newrootsinstitute.org/articles/violence-translating-outside-the-slaughterhouse So veganism/vegetarianism is also bound to get sociological results for the better and provide a shot in the arm for the war against crime as well.

The Self, our Being, is awareness. Thoughts and feelings comes and goes, but awareness remains constant always. The attributes of Self or Awareness is peace, bliss and contentment. Greatest mystery is that we get entangled in our thoughts and emotions in the pursuit of pleasure forgetting the Self, and inadvertently create a nightmarish cocoon of psychological suffering for ourselves. It is like begging for scraps and pennies while sitting on a treasure chest and ignorant of the same due to amnesia. Some people arrive at the knowledge of the Self intuitively, while others come to the same through spiritual philosophies and authentic religious methodologies. Some unfortunates however never learn of their own Self during their lifetimes though it is the closest to them.

A favourite leader of mine is Lazaro Cardenas, who is considered the greatest president Mexico had in the twentieth century. Both honest and competent, he brought about revolutionary all-round reforms that empowered the poor and underprivileged of Mexico, strengthened and brought about Mexican economic independence ending foreign dependencies, ended military interference in Mexican politics and strengthened democratic rule. He developed Mexican culture by welcoming thousands of exiled Spanish refugees which included prominent Spanish writers, artists, scientists, and professors who fled the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. This significantly enriched Mexican culture, education, and intellectual life. Post-presidency as well, he lived a simple life and continued to work and promote reforms in rural Mexico building free medical clinics, local schools, and supervising irrigation projects for poor rural communities. Even now it is hard for me to believe that such a man and world-class leader came up in Mexico, and if at all Mexico had a Zorro like figure,it would be Cardenas, imho.

Veganism can be an effective weapon in the war against global warming. The global meat and livestock industry is responsible for about 14% to 18% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. A study has found that meat accounts for nearly 60% of all greenhouse gases from food production, study finds. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/13/meat-greenhouses-gases-food-production-study So being a vegan or vegetarian is a necessary austerity to be taken for the health of the world, for a temporary period at least till an another effective alternative can be found. I am a vegetarian and use electric vehicles mostly without any expensive petrol or diesel.

A Belgian car salesman was acknowledged as a prince after a paternity test confirmed his biological father to be Prince Laurent , brother to the King of Belgium. Delphine Boel was an another illegitimate daughter of Prince Laurent, who fought a court battle for many years till she too was acknowledged as his daughter and claimed the title of princess in 2020. https://edition.cnn.com/2026/08/22/europe/prince-belgium-secret-son-scli-intl

Whether Ukraine was independent or part of USSR, it was still targetted by the European Nazis for total annihilation and who considered the Slavs as racially inferior. Many millions of Ukrainian Slavs and Jews were methodically eliminated by the Nazis in Ukraine as well in tune with its policy of creating Lebensraum or living space for future occupation by europeans considered racially superior . If it weren't for the stunning Russian counter-attack starting from Stalingrad that ended the Nazi war machine permanently, the Jews and Ukrainian Slavs would have ended as extinct as the dodos.

Both the Palestinian and Ukrainian conflicts have their origin in the legacy of the second world war, imho. The religious and racial persecution of the Jews in europe for many centuries eventually led to the genocide in the second world war which killed over 6 million jews, and thus leading to the events creating a separate state for the remaining Jews in the Middle east surrounded by hostile arab states. Similarly heavy destruction of life was caused by the Axis military alliance of European Nazis in the second world war in the USSR, leading to the deaths of over 25 million Slavs as part of racial genocide. This is one of the reasons, along with Napoleon's earlier invasion of Russia, that the russians are heavy paranoid of hostile military alliances on their borders, leading to both diplomatic moves in the begining to prevent such a scenario and now followed by conflict. The two world wars which originated in europe killing over a hundred million people came about on the basis of military alliances. Hence disbanding of military alliances is key to prevent more such disastrous world wars from coming up in europe again .

https://thecradle.co/articles-id/39640 It appears that the US interceptor inventory has drained itself in the war on iran taking down cheap Iranian drones with multi-million dollar interceptors. However this can be an another opportunity and bonanza for the western military industrial complex to cite reasons for low national security and rip off more taxpayer money to get more contracts for multi-billion dollar interceptors, and keep on ignoring more important sectors like subsidised education, healthcare and housing in the US. , even though there are around a million homeless people in the US with around a thousand dying of hypothermia each year. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2024-12-13/more-people-are-homeless-and-more-people-are-freezing-to-death

Gandhi used teachings of nonviolent agitation and universal brotherhood as a social tool to unify Indian society which was highly fragmented along diverse casteist, religious, regional, racial and linguistic lines , and to channel their energies to fighting exploitative british colonialism back then . Through his personal example, speeches and writings ,discussions, rallies and social movements and so on, he created a unified , cohesive society and political movement against british colonialism. Many of his muslim friends and comrades also joined him in this venture . Khudai Khidmatgar was a non-violent, Pashtun muslim freedom movement against British rule in colonial India inspired by Gandhi. Founded in 1929 by Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (also called Bacha Khan or the Frontier Gandhi), its members wore red shirts and worked nonviolently and progressively for social reform, education, and national unity. That Gandhi was able to unify such highly fragmented sections into a cohesive whole was a great success in itself and showcased his leadership skills. I don't think there is any other leader in the world that have achieved such a feat. This should be seen in the background and context of the regressive Hindu and Muslim societies back then in India stuck in primitive conditioning and consequent inter-religious disharmony, which was further inflamed by the British with their divide and rule policies which they had heavily invested in. While Gandhi's efforts were instrumental in unifying Indian society to a large extent, he was not able to overcome the partitioning of India on religious lines. However, India had survived intact for the last 80 years and is also on the road to great prosperity as the fastest growing major economy in the world for many years now. It is the fourth largest economy in the world and is forecast to displace the US as the largest economy in the world after a few decades. The stability which India enjoyed for many decades inspite of large-scale diversity, is mainly due to Gandhi's legacy of nonviolence which prevented the balkanisation of India sequencing to various small regional conflicts and wars , as has happened in Europe prior and during the two world wars and aftermath as well, and which had killed many millions of europeans then and now. You don't need to kill or maim anyone or destroy public property created by tax money, to make a religious or political statement. Just carrying a banner and uttering slogans or going on a fast will do. In Pakistan, inter-sectarian conflicts resulting in Sunni-Shia-Sufi-Ahmediya riots are commonplace resulting in deaths of thousands of muslims due to suicide bombings and riots, while the same do not take place in India. The only muslim scientist to get a Nobel prize in physics was Abdus Salam from Pakistan. However he was subjected to severe state and societal discrimination and prejudice in Pakistan due to his Ahmediya sectarian background. On the other hand he was treated respectfully and well in India when he came there, and received awards for excellence in science , and later stated that he was prouder to be called an Indian than a Pakistani. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was a former Indian president of muslim identity and rocket scientist who played a major role in the Indian space programme. Kalam considered the message of non-violence India's greatest contribution to global civilization and believed humanity has yet to find a better tool than Gandhian thought to unite people and reach a common objective He frequently highlighted Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violence and the convergence of minds as an unmatched model for resolving conflict and achieving national and international goals.
