बांग्लादेश में भी शुरू हुआ इंडिया आउट कैंपेन, भारतीय प्रोडक्ट का किया जा रहा विरोध
India Out Campaign: मालदीव के ठीक बाद अब बांग्लादेश में भी ‘इंडिया आउट’ कैंपेन जोर पकड़ लिया है. बांग्लादेश में इस साल जनवरी में हुए आम चुनाव में शेख हसीना की जीत के बाद पिछले कई दिनों से सोशल मीडिया पर ‘इंडिया आउट’ अभियान देखने को मिल रहा है.
बताया जा रहा है कि इस अभियान के पीछे बांग्लादेश की विपक्षी पार्टी बांग्लादेश नेशनलिस्ट पार्टी (बीएनपी) के साथ-साथ पाकिस्तानी सुरक्षा आईएसआई की मिलीभगत…

Ons Meester gee ons groter onverdiende guns, want Hy sê dít: “God verneder die trotses, maar aan die nederiges gee Hy onverdiende guns.” en hy sal van julle af wegvlug.
i love comparing pokédex entries for the same mon between different games bc almost all of them will be very brief, matter-of-fact, purely scientific without any first person pronouns or personal information about the author. and then you get to the legends arceus entries and laventon’s writing stuff like ‘ngl i still don’t understand this species’ ‘i tried petting this pokémon once and it bit me’ ‘i live in fear of this thing’ ‘man i miss galar. who said that’
I'm re-reading the Discworld series for reasons, and honestly the most relatable part of reading these as an adult is how many of the protagonists start out being tired, used to their little routine and vaguely disgruntled by the interruption of the Plot. Sam Vimes wants to lie drunk in a gutter and absolutely doesn't want to be arresting dragons. Rincewind is yanked into every situation he's ever encountered, though he'd much rather be lying in a gutter too. (Minus the alcohol. Plus regretting everything he's ever done said witnessed or even heard about fourth-hand in his whole life.) Granny Weatherwax is deeply suspicious of foreign parts and that includes the next town over; Nanny has leaned into the armor of "nothing ever happens to jolly grannies who terrorize their daughters-in-law and make Saucy Jokes"
Only the young people don't seem to have picked up on this---and that's fortunate, because someone has to run around making things happen, if only so Vimes and Granny and Rincewind have a reason to get up (complaining bitterly the whole time) and put it all to rights. Without Carrot, Margrat, Eric, etc. these characters don't have that reason; they're likely to stay in the metaphorical gutter and keep wondering where it all went wrong or why anything has to change.
............well, that's not quite true. You get the sense that Vetinari knows how much certain people hate the Plot. And as the person sitting behind the metaphorical lighting board of Ankh-Morpork, he takes no small pleasure in forcing the Plot-haters specifically to stand up, and say some lines.
SYDNEY (Reuters) -Two Australian Indigenous leaders opposed to a proposal to constitutionally recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Island people joined forces on Thursday in an effort to strengthen their campaign ahead of a referendum later this year.
A group led by Warren Mundine, a former Labor Party national president who is Indigenous, and a group backed by shadow Indigenous Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, will pool their resources for a joint "No" campaign to be called "Australians for Unity".
