Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The hurdle of growing apartheid against Muslims being one that needs greater looking at. I'm a Hindu and can see where this is going. Already, historically happy communities are dividing and the gap grows.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


"India has seized the moment," proclaimed housing minister Hardeep Singh Puri with confidence during a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month.

"There isn't a segment of economic and social engagement that India has not delivered with," Smriti Irani, the minister for minority affairs and women, told Business Insider.

The high probability of Modi's party winning the forthcoming national elections adds an attractive assurance of stability, compared to the destabilizing political polarization of some Western markets.

"You have people going for jobs in faster-growing regions of the country," he told Business Insider at Davos, adding that financial support is being sent to the "more backward areas" where incomes are lower.

(Defying Western sanctions, the country has amped up purchases of Russian oil since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine almost two years ago, and is now its second-largest customer after China.)

And while social problems are overlooked by many business leaders, the BJP's divisive Hindu nationalist policies and persecution of Muslims threaten to destabilize progress and detract from job creation.


The original article contains 1,018 words, the summary contains 171 words. Saved 83%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Ah yes, the top 1%'s wealth is going to grow even more and they equate that to the country's growth. But this can be applied to a lots of countries nowadays.
