"Good terrorists" eventually become everybody’s problem. History keeps proving this again and again.

Honestly, this pattern is getting hard to ignore. First Nasser Hussain, then Butcher, and now Atherton — different words, same energy. Whenever England isn’t at the centre, suddenly the cricket is “toxic,” “meaningless,” or “too political.” When others dominate, especially India, the game itself becomes the problem. It just sounds like jealousy mixed with nostalgia. England used to be the centre of the cricket world — now it isn’t. Instead of accepting that shift, some voices would rather dismiss what billions of fans actually care about. Cricket didn’t lose its soul. It just moved on — and some people never did.

What do you mean — how IPL owners build a good team, or how fans create a good fantasy team? If you mean a fantasy team, then the idea is simple: you select players who you think will score the most fantasy points. That does not always mean picking the player with the most runs. You also need to consider strike rate, boundaries, sixes, wickets, 4-wicket/5-wicket hauls, catches, and bonus points. For example, Klaasen may have scored the most runs so far, but he is still not in the top 5 because his strike rate and boundary count are lower compared to other players. In fantasy cricket, impact matters as much as total runs. always check [https://www.nullpi.com/fantasy/oneteamperseason/performance](https://www.nullpi.com/fantasy/oneteamperseason/performance)

Gavin is not going to give in.

The scary part is that these attacks are no longer shocking. That itself says a lot about how normalized violence has become.

Ignorance cannot be used as an excuse every time someone crosses the line. A player may not fully understand the impact of his words, but that does not mean there should be no consequences.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and that's how a free society should work. But dismissing every view you disagree with as being from an "IT Cell" is not an argument—it's a way of avoiding the discussion. Sometimes people genuinely hold different opinions based on their own experiences, values, and understanding of the facts. Not everyone who disagrees with you is paid, coordinated, or brainwashed. Healthy debate requires engaging with the actual points being made rather than assuming a conspiracy behind every opposing view.

What will happen to Rahul Baba

`resignation is MUST` I agree. I think the government may eventually remove Pradhan, but probably not immediately, because that would send the wrong signal. BJP also won’t want to give the opposition any brownie points. So even if Pradhan is removed, it likely won’t happen under the current Cockroach Janta Party pressure.

Paper leak has been part of the education system for a very long time. We have had many CAT/JEE paper lake cases in the 90s, early 2000s, etc. What we need is to move to a more standardized exam that students can take throughout the year, like the GRE/GMAT

That's the slippery slope. If paying tax gives you more voting power, the next argument will be that paying more tax should give you even more voting power. Then before you know it, a handful of billionaires are deciding who becomes PM. That's why I'd keep "1 person = 1 vote" intact and instead look at ways to give taxpayers more oversight over budgets and spending.

I can think of a thousand reasons why we shouldn't even consider this. Whether someone pays tax or not, every citizen should have an equal vote. Otherwise, what's the point of democracy? Personally, I'm even in favor of allowing prisoners to vote, unless they've been convicted of particularly heinous crimes. Rights should not depend on income. Having said that, I can imagine a future where citizens are directly involved in deciding how government budgets are allocated. There could be advisory votes or citizen panels where expertise matters. Why shouldn't someone with a degree in finance or economics, who also pays taxes, have a greater say on budget priorities than politicians who may have neither?

I guess more than Indians, other Ameircan democrats need to learn from Jon Ossoff. India is still stuck with caste and freebies.

Not sure what you mean. An open platform doesn't mean everyone agrees. It means different views can be expressed without being forced into a left vs right camp.

The only possible way is for the BJP to give some concessions to southeren state and somehow manage that UP/Bihar dont revoult.

Looks more complex than the Duckworth-Lewis method. Most Indians still don't understand that after trying for 2 decades
