the indian are like nothing more than a good sting operation so it is ironic that even country where entire news bulletins and t.v. shows are built around such undercover investigations strikes. and the other thing operation was a mistake when it was the media that got caught on camera almost none of india's mainstream outlets reported it. because your posting targeted some of the country's biggest media groups the times of india india today t.v. in the in the stern times and the footage produced was damning if you believe you have the biggest names in the indian media you know from the biggest english group to most from them to our news houses nor would they have a glittering offices and everybody this morning over backwards to accommodate and advertise the who would have editorial of mind who would sort of shame that narrative as it. took a. very awkward because understanding the story is not just a war. it is something beyond to be free in the political rivals of the client agreed the big. one. and. do not. but also in in many ways to all of a is in society so in in those from thi

who fought and died as indians. once they were actually fighting for the union that once they were out of bullets, they were locked into their position, it was hopeless, the confederates were descending on them and they covered over their heads with blouses and saying war songs until the end came for them and i found that so moving, this extraordinary combination of cultures that's a clash of cultures and i found out how fascinating that the cherokee was the only tribe to come in on the opposite sides and stems from a feud that had governed the nation decades before that. something would hold the nation in its grip for 40 or 50 years and flower at intervals and lead to this explosion so much later. but there is always with these stories this question that historians struggled so much, the matter of relevance. who cares, what difference does it make? i will say it just a few things and i would love to hear from you as to what your response is to this, what this might mean to you. three things that come to my mind whe

well the indian economy is a child. because they have that but they get it out of the. fight all down the mountain is a very big factor that if you pointed out and fortunes of many indian companies depends on that as as i was talking about the who do i factor. and then it will factor the elephant in the room i believe in the general elections of twenty one thousand and it but i miss them or they will fight to get reelected to the opposition as we head towards generally remember there is a we have going to be announcing more on welfare and that is bad news as a g thank you. in bug area roses are big business the annual harvest in may can make or break small cow grows small scale grows in the company's famed rose valley boss adverse weather and overproduction are now presenting new challenges making the long term perspective for the industry look well less rosy. it's time to celebrate the picking season is over and growers in bulgaria's rose valley are finally letting their hair down they've worked hard over the past month starting each dawn to haul in sacks of rose bloss

that undermines established way of dealing with indians. we just had this border of the united states, and it is not a very good border, but we have it and we have drawn it up into land parcels owned by private individuals. whereas before, you would have great britain claiming territory, but then allowing sovereignty of indian nations within it. in that sense, we are moving away from an established way of handling the layered sovereignty and claims to land and turning it into something more absolute where there is no space for native americans except for -- as owners of private property. that is not the way they own land. they want land owhich to situate their nations. they are like france. if you have france without an actual place, that does not make sense. they don't want to be private property owners in the united states, they want their own nation. at issue is the legal erasure of land claims. this is a difficult legal issue. if you start erasing some people's land claims and played -- claims to private property, you might be able to d

and poverty and so on to return to your statement the statement i opened with about you with the indian women's movement here in the west are our perception of india is obviously highly polarized on the one hand you mentioned bollywood romantic exaggerated cliches but then on the other hand the shocking incidents of rape. what can you tell us there are two to kind of give us a more differentiated view of the reality of women in india that you see well i think it's actually it's unfortunate that the image of india that gets projected is either of a terribly spiritual country which it is not a very materialistic in many ways or that of a country that's terribly violent toward its towards its women and this is not to say violence does not exist but it is also a country which is actually fantastically country full of opportunities for women where women have really reached the top in many ways without any family backing to the you know the entire banking industry is headed by women we've had extremely powerful politicians i mean there is any number of things and it's again one has to look at

they are all alleged to have been linked to scandals that have hit indian banks.ears now, indian banks have been lending out money that is unlikely to be repaid. that has added up to as much as $150 billion. that is not the economy's of kenya, tanzania, mozambique and zimbabwe are worth together. is almost 7% of the value of india's own economies be what is worse is that most of that money is owed to banks run by the government. so how do you get so bad? as it was covered earlier this year, posed some clues of. the jeweller is alleged to have defrauded the second largest lender of $1.8 billion. he is now on the run, but several of the banks staffers, including some senior executives, have been arrested. the scam has made people ask if poor governance and maybe even outright corruption are to blame for the overall low prices facing indian banks. and it is notjust state—run lenders that are in the dock. private sector is facing the heat too. one of india's largest banks is investigating whether its chief executive was wrong to sanction a bigger loan to an indian con

no one in the local native american community knows, no one in the indian -- american indian p.a.c. knows. also with the ten points, commissioner sanchez said he would like a report back from staff in a month or two what all the different ten points were 'cause commissioner sanchez said he didn't want to wait another year for an update. another thing was said, commissioner cooke, you said something amazing, you said all racist murals are not okay in the school district. so not just looking at washington murals, but there's a mural with a naked native child on the walls, naked, painted on the walls of mission high school, so that's also something to think about, as well. the last point that i want to bring up, as well, is that i want to really talk about narrative, right, because when we were here fighting off the charter school, we talked about we don't want anyone to define our narrative, right? that was what shimon walton said, right? what about our narrative? i've seen so many racist things working in sfusd, talking about m manifest destiny. i've seen books about columbus, you ju
