Your comment was about Modi and Zuckerberg not Facebook and US election. Facebook had zero impact on Modi's election. It was anti-incumbency followed by a strong track record of Modi as Chief Minister for 3 terms that made the differen

It's not exactly true. I am from the South and I love Hindi as much as I love my mother tongue (Kannada). However, the reason there are revolts to the degree it becomes National news is primarily because of the thrust of Hindi on local

Overpopulation can be addressed by building more cities. Take India for example. Mumbai is overpopulated. The reason for this is that it's the financial hub of the country and also has a booming movie industry (Bollywood). But that wil

That's not how you calculate when it comes to insurance. You can't divorce life from maths. In your calculations you are assuming 500 million people will all fall ill at the same time and each will claim the full $7860 for the yea

Yes it would cost $800B dollars if all 100 million insured fall ill at the same time and use the entire 5 lakh rupees allocated: which is highly unlikely. This is pretty much how insurance works in any part of the world. The only difference

I would rather not equate home cooking to a "job". Sure if you consider pure economics it's probably 5x lower. But if you factor in health, then it is 100x your first job. The reason being that it takes just one badly cooked

How is mean sea level irrelevant? Global warming directly affects the mean sea level. You don't need to go around measuring surface area/volume of ocean,ice and land and what not! All you need is to calculate the mean sea level an
