Yes I have been reading about these lately...very sad context to their story at large.
They seem a noble well-meaning community. They look quite distinct and fascinating to me too.
Quite sad they have been targeted this way over so many years.
There was some articles I came across....they are...
Some very saddening statements coming in now from some of the relatives of those that were onboard.
My heart and deepest condolences goes out to them and to Indonesian nation.... RIP.

@Saiyan0321 @Kaptaan what are your impressions/contexts of the Hazara's in Pakistan and their sustained targetting by groups like Lashkar-e-jhangvi etc? (If you feel like it ofc).
I'd like to...
Its a bold offer and I doubt Biden admin will be able to match it or if they are even willing to try.
France made similar bold offer for Mirage 2000 production line, but Indian govt was not prescient or fiscally stable enough back then. Not the case now, it will be interesting time period that...
The 1st issue (religion being an asserted basis of nationhood, especially asserting it further historically) inserts a collectivist statist notion from the onset and thus is heavily flawed.
It is especially compromised because the majority of the religion's members reside outside the borders of...
You can read the declaration of independence for starters.
Then the articles and original bill of rights.
Then the works of Locke and Burke at the very least to understand why the framing was done as such (here and nowhere else till lot later).
The first principle approach is that we exist...
Well you got to go by "if shoe was on the other foot"...you got to look at this stuff as neutral as can be.
Stage charades and platitudes is one thing. If he walked away because he didnt want to make some scene, there was certainly no follow-up...when there should have been. So it ended up...
@Saiyan0321 when you are back I think it might be best to move replies from #55 onwards to some new history debate thread about IVC etc.. if you feel it proper of course as I feel this might go off topic from what you intended in this one.
It might also be useful to put "Pakistan" in (this)...
The whole paper is mostly talking about the IVC itself having limited iranian-neolithic connection (having diverged from the earlier human migrations into the subcontinent at large). That is not what I was talking about.
I am talking about the steppe migration (never did I say this was an...
I just mean it from a who's in power vs opposition. I see nothing promising anywhere I look.
I can launch into the big differences between the US and Europe on it (what left and right mean), but thats not the point.
I have lost faith in the political class at large globally....as I can see...
I would first read a specific reply for context on my position overall before you read rest of my post here:

It would take too long for me to respond to...
It need not be conflated (what the british did with what they understood/misunderstood at the time) with what we have since uncovered scientifically (regarding the clear later migration from the steppe).
Have a read...
To be frank, Modi and Trump are equally stupid in their own specific ways....just like the broader coterie of politicians in both countries (I can get into which are the standouts that buck the trend in US especially, on both sides of the aisle, but thats really long somewhat irrelevant...
