The Hindu right in India begs to differ with you. The Hindu right have notions of grandeur which involve conquering neighboring countries and bringing them under a Hindu "rashtra" (kingdom). The present Indian government under the BJP Party have made it clear that they are interested in declaring India as an Indian state and also the current PM is on record as calling for an Akhand Bharat (a greater nation which incorporates Pakistan, Bangladesh, parts of Afghanistan etc).

The present government has also declared their intent to declare India as a Hindu nation with minority rights severely restricted as per the ideologies of their parent organizations that they owe allegiance to - such as the RSS and the Hindu Mahasabha.

Not all yoga is religion, but there are types of yoga involving chants, mantras etc and invocation of deities. Those are definitely religious.

Does this impact the accuracy of the dating of the current dating methods such as radio carbon, caesium etc?

Yes, slashdot was quite the rage. Sad to see that it is now reduced to clickbait articles surrounding US politics

Yes, thoroughly reliable phones with a solid build. Still use an "ancient" 526G. What I miss is the fact that they don't do any software updates

Excellent points! This approach is not so popular though because those who enable others to function won't get the rockstar salaries...

Also, when did Nginx become a language?

If you want an unbiased view on this, please don't ask just the mobile payment providers who have everything to gain by painting a rosy picture of a very bad situation in India. The markets across the country are crumbling following this idiotic decision with markets falling as much as 70% in some sectors (agriculture is an example) and 100s of 1000s of people losing their jobs as a direct result of this bone headed move by the government.

I agree. The quality of slashdot discussions have dropped a lot.. the number of comments against each article is also very low these days. It was unusual to have stories with less than 300-400 comments, now a lot of stories don't even hit the 100 comment mark. And most of the comments themselves are not adding much insight - and that is a shame, because I have always come to this site for the depth of the discussion and not because of the stories themselves.
