I’m not the one who’s trying to change history here. We know that the Chinese have the oldest recorded tea consumption. Doesn’t make that the only valid way of doing it. It’s like saying that there’s only one authentic way to cook a potato, which is whatever the first person did with it.
And about whatever you said about tea being a new thing in India, it’s not accurate. It was first mass produced after the British came. But it actually goes back quite a bit. Camellia sinensis var. assamica is actually indigenous to the Assam region of India, and not “stolen from the Chinese”. Some think that some tribes in India (Singpho, Khamti) have been consuming tea from at least the 12th Century, though they had a different name for it. Some (A Revision of the Genus Camellia by Robert Sealy) think it goes back further, but idk about that.
But honestly, that’s not even the point. Why did you even feel the need to type this comment? Even if it was a 200 old tradition, that’s a pretty long time. And it should be accepted as a valid way of brewing. I’m not even disputing anything. I simply pointed out that there are alternative traditions. That the world isn’t fucking black and white. Seriously dude, when did I say anything that claimed that Indians invented tea? This isn’t twitter, no need to do this shit here.
Why do you think that the Chinese way is the only way to prepare authentic tea? It’s so weird dude. We have an ancient tea tradition in India. That’s my point. That a purist might think this method as the proper way too. And it’d be just as valid.
Fun fact: Ghoti is a (sort of) derogatory term for people with ancestry from West Bengal (a state in India) used by people with ancestry from Bangladesh. (Sort of, because no one really considers it offensive. The modern use is usually limited to signifying cultural differences.)
Something like this happened on my sister’s laptop. She got a new laptop with Windows 11. She followed some website to set up Syncthing, but it wasn’t syncing. Turns out, there’s some kind of “trusted network” deal that needs to be figured out. (Don’t remember the exact term anymore.) Anyway, helped her fix it, and installed Debian Stable on it the next time I was visiting.
Interesting. I currently use it on a Samsung Galaxy S22 and a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. In the past, I’ve used OnePlus, Redmi, and Realme devices. Always worked.
Maybe post it in their forum? They’re usually very helpful.
Side note: If I’m wearing headphones, and you don’t know me, and you disturb me without a good reason, I won’t hurt you or anything, but know that you’re a bad bad person.
I remember there being some Android phone (some generation of Samsung Galaxy S series probably) with a “feature” where it pauses video playback if you look away from it. Good thing it didn’t catch on.
How I see it (and so do many others) is that this showed BJP that they won’t get away with anything and everything. That their religious politics is getting old. People want jobs, and growth.
Many thought that defeating BJP is simply impossible. If you followed the Indian media, you’ll know that Modi was portrayed as this irreplaceable leader. Many voted for BJP simply because they thought that they had no other option. This election showed them that it’s not true, that BJP can be defeated. If not anything else, we have a much stronger opposition now. BJP will have to think twice before making stupid decisions.
