    The theme for this years Republic Day Parade was woman empowerment! (nari shakti)

    he also spoke about religious intolerance which Indians really fucking need to hear about now although unlike Republicans at the SOTU, Indians cheered when he talked about he we need to stop making Muslims feel like shit

      I'm all for talking about religious intolerance abroad, but Americans who do that and don't acknowledge that Islamophobia is increasingly common (and accepted) in the U.S. need to rethink that. Same with Europeans...

      Well said. If I may I would also like to add Siddis to the list of people that Indian society needs to improve its treatment of.

      Unfortunate! But it's always good to know curse words in other languages.

    And then he flew to Saudi Arabia, where these things need to be said but never will be.

      Haven't you heard?

      "The Department of Defense, on the orders of chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Jack Dempsey, has started an essay competition to "honor King Abdullah."

      Cringe.
