A car with a 12 month waiting period in the 80s ruled the Indian roads for over 3 decades
A thread on Ambassador cars 🧵
1/
It sold the rights and tooling for these cars to Hindustan Motors, a subsidiary of CK Birla group to manufacture and sell these cars in India
2/
3/
It was positioned as the family car given the kind of space available for bigger Indian families
4/
The government controlled production and was encouraging domestic production. This helped all these 3 players
5/
It became a symbol of esteem and power because of this. And began to be known as king of Indian roads
6/
Though when Premier Padmini was launched in 1964, it became popular with families & took some market share
7/
And ranked 3rd after Mahindra and Premier Padmini in market share. In 80s it's waiting period after ordering was close to 1 year
8/
1981 - Indian Government created a PSU called Maruti Udyog. It signed a JV with Suzuki and started producing Maruti 800 in 1983
9/
Maruti on the other hand looked more stylish, had a better mileage and cost only 50000 Rs, much lower than Ambassador
10/
11/
12/
Launched Nova in 1990, classic in 1998 and Grand in 2003. However the design was almost the same. There was no way it could compete with the new stylish Indian and foreign cars
13/
With Tatas, Hyundai and Toyota entering the market, Ambassador was on its way out
14/
And in 2014, Government decided to start buying other brand cars for its officers. Fighting with losses, Ambassador decided to shut down production
15/
The brand was sold to the French PSA group for just 80 crores INR in 2017
More than a car, Ambassador will remain as an emotion for many

In his letters describing the India Mission, Carey has given us an insight into how the society functioned then, of how the minds of the people worked and what methods the missionaries used to approach and brainwash the common people.
It is entirely possible that,Carey in his arrogance of being the white man and hence more civilized,his inability to under the Hindu scriptures and his natural disdain for the learned community coupled with his inherent hatred for the idolaters may have exaggerated the incidents.
In fact, considering the venom with which he has spoken about Hinduism and it's practices, it's likely that he has exaggerated these incidents. But it cannot be denied that these incidents did happen even if they may not have been on scale at which Carey has described.
One of his journal entry mentions a debate which happened in a temple in front of around 200 people. Carey describes having debated with two learned men and goes on to say when both learned men failed to answer his questions, he went on to preach the gospel to the assembled crowd
In a letter dated 30th June,1795 he goes on to gleefully narate how Hindus were unaware of their own scriptures and how an supposed expert named a grammar book when he was questioned as which scripture said that the Murti is God.
William Carey landed on the Indian soil in the year 1793. He spent the remaining years of his life in India. He was a British missionary, a translator and a social reformer who is best known for having the practice of Sati abolished in India. https://t.co/kRiPwgjwcP pic.twitter.com/JqO3A7cCsX

The fabrication of the "asymptomatic (super) spreader" is the coronation of the total nons(ci)ense in the belief system of #CoronasWitnesses.
Asymptomatic transmission 0.7%; 95% CI 0%-4.9% - could well be 0%!https://t.co/VeZTzxXfvT

Joshua Hawley, Missouri's Junior Senator, is an autocrat in waiting.
His arrogance and ambition prohibit any allegiance to morality or character.
Thus far, his plan to seize the presidency has fallen into place.
An explanation in photographs.
🧵
Joshua grew up in the next town over from mine, in Lexington, Missouri. A a teenager he wrote a column for the local paper, where he perfected his political condescension.
2/
By the time he reached high-school, however, he attended an elite private high-school 60 miles away in Kansas City.
This is a piece of his history he works to erase as he builds up his counterfeit image as a rural farm boy from a small town who grew up farming.
3/
After graduating from Rockhurst High School, he attended Stanford University where he wrote for the Stanford Review--a libertarian publication founded by Peter Thiel..
4/

Hawley's writing during his early 20s reveals that he wished for the curriculum at Stanford and other "liberal institutions" to change and to incorporate more conservative moral values.
This led him to create the "Freedom Forum."
