@kapoorrajat1857 @Karthikdeva bhojpuri, maithli and maghi have their own vocabulary, grammar and stuff, but still are considered a dialect of hindi. Why?

@Full_marx it's sad. Like, what people do you want to show off to?
These people should get a life.

@jacknjill that's right too. Judiciary must be independent, although our constitution says that, who follows it?

Blue tick beside your name doesn't make you a celebrity or anything.
We don't need another Twitter here.

Just spilled Tea all over my jeans.
My mum is going to disown me☕☕

is a dream scenario and it's good to see so many of the users support that.
Almost all the topics that are debated or discussed in India revolves around some celebrity/politicians.
They never represent / care about what a commoner has to say.
For e.g.
During De-monetization almost all the celebs tweeted/posted videos praising our PM, some went further to order us that it's 'ok' to suffer for the sake of our nation. But I remember myself and so many common citizen struggling. Things spiraled out of control. But not for the so- called celebs.

As promised, mastodon.social code of conduct has been updated to add "casteism and advocation of casteism" to the list of explicitly prohibited offenses

@Tallymark90 @Chetanbadhe yes. When we confront them, they make us feel like we are brats, stupid and useless.

@madeline_@mastodon.social i feel you!
We can be friends 💜

@goofysufi Supreme Court is the highest level of Jurisdiction in our country. IMO, we should respect it's verdict.
You can have an opinion against it's decisions, though.

@Chetanbadhe even after the marriage, parents will poke us for a grandchild. Well, privacy गयी भाड़ में

@TheTootOfGod 71 per cent of Indian population is consuming meat.

@Karthikdeva 22? Wasn't Bhojpuri included? Or are they still asking for it?

@freemo Geographically speaking, we are Asians. But I have always wondered why we are not addressed as 'Asians' as much others (Chinese, Koreans etc). So I guess we are just 'Indians'
Like @_lunawinters mentioned, more than 150 languages are spoken (22 official), thousands, if not lakhs of different communities following different customs are present.
Not weird for a country with 1.3 BILLION population.

@freemo You're getting it right. But the thing is we don't have any particular culture that is followed uniformly throughout the country. Like the part where I am from (Kolkata), has more similarities with Bangladesh.

Similarly many on the western part has similarities with Pakistan when it comes to the way of living eating etc.

Here we say one thing: "Unity in diversity" (though in current conditions, it has been questioned many times)

@Karthikdeva and confronting social norms is seen as rebellious.
The newer generation is changing for good.
