Did the British change India's caste system?

Link Copy 2023-10-10 11:57:38

Prediction

Yes, the social categories of religion and caste, as they are perceived in modern India, developed during the British colonial rule, at a time when information was scarce and the colonizer's power over information was absolute.

Reason

This was originally done in the early 19th century by elevating selected and convenient Brahmin-Sanskrit texts such as Manusmriti to canonical status; the alleged caste origin in the Rig Veda (the oldest religious text) was most likely added retroactively after it was translated into English decades later. These categories were institutionalized in the mid- to late 19th century through the census. These were acts of convenience and simplification. The colonialists established an acceptable list of local religions in India - Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism - and their boundaries and laws by reading what they claimed were the definitive texts of India.

Yes, the social categories of religion and caste, as they are perceived in modern India, developed during the British colonial rule, at a time when information was scarce and the colonizer's power over information was absolute.

Officially, castes are prohibited by law in India, but changing the caste division of Indian society, which has been cultivated in the minds of Indians for centuries, is not so easy.

When will peace talks between Ukraine and Russia take place?

Link Copy 2023-06-02 01:27:36

Prediction

In the fall of 2023. They will end in nothing.

Reason

In the summer of 2023 there will be fierce battles in Ukraine and terrorist attacks on the territory of Russia. Türkiye is already trying to arrange negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. But now these negotiations are not beneficial for Russia, because in fact it is a loss in the war. In 2024, elections in Ukraine, Russia and the United States. Before the elections, it is necessary to end the war, because if there is a war, Zelensky has little chance of winning the elections. Biden will also have few trump cards before the electorate in the elections.

In the fall of 2023. They will end in nothing.

The United States is trying with all its might to freeze the conflict for 10 years. In 2024, the election campaign will begin in America and no one will be engaged in Ukraine. 2023 is the last year when Ukraine will receive military assistance from the United States. Without military assistance, the war will not end, but hostilities will weaken. The current presidents of Russia and Ukraine will not sit down at the same negotiating table. In order for the signing of a peace treaty to happen, at least one president must be replaced.

What is the main disadvantage of Putin?

Link Copy 2023-04-28 12:35:05

Prediction

Bad personnel policy

Reason

Vladimir Putin has raised the bar too high for subsequent presidents, which means that no matter what new candidate comes in, he is unlikely to reach Putin, which may negatively affect the state of affairs in the country. The same is true of figures in key positions in the country; there are also no comparable candidates to replace them. They just don't grow.

Bad personnel policy

Putin's main personnel problem is that he appoints the faithful, but asks how smart they are.

They will be confiscated

Reason

The US Department of Justice began to confiscate the money of Russians - this became possible by court decision. He completed the trial in the case of Russian businessman Konstantin Malofeev, who was accused of circumventing sanctions.

They will be confiscated

The withdrawal of these funds will prevent other countries from relying on the United States in the future.
