@TheKidneyDocto1 See i m trying to keep here my point of view on Democracy in China.. okay.. China isn't a dictatorship if u exclude this Xi Jinping and Mao era.. They conduct fair elections where every candidate is supported by CCP.. They represent people.. (1/2)

@dhruv_rajnish @TheKidneyDocto1 China says, they have their own way of Democracy and they don't copy the west.. See "Stability" is most important in a country, especially in economic factors.. what happens in India is, if tomorrow a new govt of a different party comes, (2/3)
@dhruv_rajnish @TheKidneyDocto1 it will scrap the economic policies formed by the previous govts and again start a new different policy..It don't benefit anyone.See how Vietnam made most of the profit of Chinese boycott..Vietnam is not a democracy..See now everything comes now to the definition of Democracy 3/4
@dhruv_rajnish @TheKidneyDocto1 China and Chinese proudly say that they have Democracy.. Try asking one of them..
Now ethnic minorities..Okay..You do know that bhutan is the happiest country of the world..Many say that one of its reason is, they sent back the Nepalese ethinic groups back to Nepal and India..4/5
@dhruv_rajnish @TheKidneyDocto1 Now they live as a single ethinic community..China also doing the same.. They want Han Chinese to be one ethnic group and an atheist nation.. You may not agree with me, but i feel they are doing good.. See if all citezens will be Atheists and one single race, 5/6
@dhruv_rajnish @TheKidneyDocto1 they won't have any conflict among themselves.. See i m an atheist, secular, nationalist person, but whenever i see some one wearing truban, i think yes this is a sikh, i see any one with beard and cap, oh his faith is islam, someone wearing hindu traditional gerua, 6/7
@dhruv_rajnish @TheKidneyDocto1 i think yes this is some hindu pandit or sanyasi.. i don't know why but i can't stop myself from linking their dress with religion and beliefs, despite being secular and atheist..
We everytime order from a same restraunt near my home.. and we talk with manager, 7/8
@dhruv_rajnish @TheKidneyDocto1 i never judged him more than just a normal human being, but then one day i saw his name as khan and i thought, oh yes he is a Muslim.. I m not discriminating..we didn't stopping ordering from him.. but why my mind classifies them as Muslims sikhs hindus I don't understand, 8/9
@dhruv_rajnish @TheKidneyDocto1 despite being an atheist..China has banned use of "Mohammed" and other religious names..China has made its citezens to stop judging other citezens and pushed everyone to feel that they have no differences and they belong to same ethinicity..
See i don't agree with one ethnic 9/10
@dhruv_rajnish @TheKidneyDocto1 community principles, really feel proud of the range of diversity in India..but diversity leads to difference in opinions and then conflicts and it somehow make the country's growth slower..
See i love Democracy.. I love India as it is.. 10/11
@dhruv_rajnish @TheKidneyDocto1 But sometimes i feel disappointed when i compare India with China..And I really love the way India treats its minority and respect the diversity in ethinic group and i believe it should be followed by all..
Sorry if i hurt you anywhere.. I just presented my views

More from China

THREAD: Last week, China’s Cabinet announced that, for the first time, fees will be charged for “excessive” freedom of information requests, potentially meaning huge out-of-pocket expenses for lawyers and others who rely heavily on public information from the Chinese government.

According to a notice published Dec. 1, government offices will be able to choose from two different rate schemes: one based on frequency, one based on size.

The “size” route is especially problematic. Here’s why:

If you’re an activist or a lawyer seeking a copy of an 800-page environmental impact assessment report, it’s going to cost you around $4,000 under this scheme.

In the past, disclosure requests were essentially free in China because there were no rules for charging fees.

In fact, last December an administrative agency in Shenzhen was ordered to reimburse an applicant after sending him a pay-on-delivery parcel.

According to the State Council’s Dec. 1 notice, the aim of adding the fees isn’t to generate revenue, but to “guide applicants to exercise their rights reasonably.”

Regardless of intention, however, the new costs will likely be a hindrance to those seeking public information.

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
