  It is argued that the powers they posses are mythological but the figures actually existed as kings and princes of that era. But there is no conclusive evidence of it as Indians in general were not great at recording their history and whatever they did record (which was still a lot) was kept in Nalanda which was burnt by invaders.

  America themselves supplied the nuclear tech to Pakistan because at the time India was USSR’s strong ally and considered it a threat. Now ig Pakistan comes in top 10 countries with the most nukes so I don’t think US will try to mess with it now.

  Human trafficking is the least of the worries in that country lol. The country is a military dictatorship that fuels and funds terrorist attacks in Kashmir. The Prime Minister is just their puppet. After independence and partition, they thought they had a huge threat from India so they invested hugely in their military and still ended up losing all the wars against India. Now they are so much in debt that they have to bootlick America to get the IMF to give them money. Which again they use it to fund terrorist activities in Kashmir.

  The entire south Asia region (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) is pretty unsafe for women. Sexual Assualt, Kidnappings and Human Trafficking are a huge problem even for the natives.

  From the comments I realised that you westerners don’t seem to have a concept of MRP (Maximum Retail Price) where you can’t sell the product for more than a specific price anywhere in the country set by the manufacturer per batch. It is inclusive of all sales taxes. Your prices seem to vary according to the demand lol. So if anyone charges above that it is usually added in the bill as Card processing fees and very few businesses do that because people get furious over here in India.

  Lol if you can’t counter and actually bring new insights to this debate and instead accuse the other person that their response is pasted from some stupid LLM, then your cause of spreading veganism has failed.

  So this is the end of debate then. Please don’t reply. IDGAF about vegans at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top of the world, ma⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think veganism actually  solves major problems like ecological decline, climate change, antibiotic resistance, pandemics or any public health issues especially once you look at how these issues play out in reality rather than in an “influencer idealised” narrative.

  1. Climate Change & the “14%” number is very nuanced

  Livestock is definitely responsible for around 14-15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That number comes from lifecycle assessments by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)that include feed production, enteric fermentation, manure, land use change and processing, not just the emissions from the animals themselves. (FAO))

  That figure is usually misinterpreted or understood:

  • It isn’t directly comparable to the way energy or transport emissions are counted; those are measured differently. (FAOHome)

  • Roughly 1/3 of total global emissions come from food systems overall, and within that portion, the livestock share varies depending on methodology. (ipcc.ch)

  • Other studies show the livestock share can fall closer to 12% of total global emissions when measured differently. (OECD)

  So yes, livestock contributes significantly but it’s misleading to treat that figure as a simple causal claim that eliminating meat will solve climate change. Deep cuts in fossil fuel emissions from energy, transport and industry are still the dominant needs.

  2. Reducing livestocks doesn’t automatically eliminate animals

  Even if people eat less meat, that doesn’t guarantee livestock populations disappear. Animals don’t just vanish because Williams decided to not eat meat:

  • They may continue to exist for milk, labor, manure, cultural or economic reasons.

  • Reductions in consumption don’t automatically translate into reductions in livestock biomass or methane outputs unless there are explicit policies to manage breeding and animal numbers.

  This means the assumed climate benefit is not automatic and depends on how production systems are actually managed, not just what people choose to have on their plates.

  3. Reducing livestock doesn’t mean Less Food

  Cutting livestock doesn’t reduce the need to produce calories or balanced nutrition. You still need to produce protein and micro nutrients at scale. That typically means expanding crop production which has its own environmental costs (fertilizer use, land conversion, water use, transport, processing). The narrative that plant crops are automatically lower impact ignores the fact that:

  • Many plant based proteins are highly processed and energy intensive.

  • Removing animals from small & mixed farming systems will actually reduce soil fertility and increase reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

  4. Antibiotic Resistance

  The core issue isn’t simply that people eat animals but it is how antibiotics are regulated, prescribed and used in both human and animal systems. The FAO projects that without policy changes, global antibiotic use in livestock could rise by up to 30% by 2040. (DownToEarth.org)

  It correlates with a lack of proper regulations and overuse of antibiotics in both human healthcare and industrial farming.

  5. Many problems are Western Industrial Systems problems

  A lot of the environmental framing around livestock comes from industrialised, Western models of agriculture (feedlots, monocultures, long supply chains). In much of the Global East, livestock production is integrated into local food supply systems and serve roles beyond just meat supply that provides manure, traction, nutrient cycling and financial assets (I don’t like to see living beings that way but that’s the way it is). Treating Western industrial problems as universally applicable heavily ignores these differences.

  6. Nutrition & Public Health vary by context

  Claims that veganism improves public health assume widespread access to balanced plant based nutrition & supplementation. In many parts of the world like big vegetarian populations like India, protein and micronutrient deficiencies (iron, B12) are widespread public health issues. Meanwhile animal source foods actually provide dense sources of these nutrients that are difficult to replace without reliable supplementation and access.

  The current Indian Prime Minister bootlickers bring up some GDP growth rate numbers and compare them with Pakistan and Bangladesh thus giving a false sense of superiority that India is developing rapidly—I mean yes but only compared to those countries.

  Apparently the dev got banned. The reason is unclear and I would love to understand the other side but this is on their Github.

  I got kicked from Moonlight and Sunshine’s Discord server and banned from Sunshine’s GitHub repo literally for helping people out. This is what I got for finding a bug, opened an issue, getting no response, troubleshoot myself, fixed the issue myself, shared it by PR to the main repo hoping my efforts can help someone else during the maintenance gap.
