A Stranger tried to kiss me

So, I (male) was travelling in a crowded bus. I was seated and chilling, then this dude stood in front of me and proceeded to slowly lean towards me, eyes closed. I didn't mind at first, I thought he was maybe tired, but he progressively inched closer towards my face, and I was able to smell his breath that close. I had to push him away, and nobody around me said anything, like wtf.

On the possibility of war

I am very conflicted. On one hand I really want to see the Pakistani government and army getting what they deserve. On the other other hand I don't want a war because it would literally destroy the economy and could halt any progress for atleast an entire generation. Not to mention the civilian casualty. Not just civilians of India. As much as I hate pakistan I cannot deny that there are a lot of civilians who would be dying. As much as I hate pakistan I don't know if I want to see innocent children and women dying.

On a more personal note, I have some acquaintances who are in army and as much as I am proud of them and want them to fulfill their duty, I don't want them to die in a war which would be pretty much meaningless.

At the end:

The only things that war could produce are deadbodies, broken families,trauma and destruction. But what would happen when war becomes necessary for a nation's welfare? That nation have to fight that war for it's own survival.

I would request people to not get paranoid and to not spread fake news. If a war breaks out we all need to endure it and survive. Jai Hind

বিভিন্ন news channel থেকে যেটা বুঝছি We are literally on the brink of a war or a very far fetched military conflict. Please Pray for our fellow citizens whose lives have been endangered and please Pray for our Armed Forces 🇮🇳🙏🙏

As a fellow citizen of India its our duty at this moment to not spread misinformation in any social media handle and remain calm and believe in our armed forces. And also maintain communal harmony and not engage in any kind of activity which will going to disrupt regional peace. Be United. Be Alert.

also is there any ngo or organisation who are raising funds for those whose housing/livelihood has been affected due to Pak firing?
I personally feel we all should do our bit to help those in need. If anyone knows any such ngos please share here.

Jai Hind🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

The hatred against Bengalis and Bengalis needing to "prove" their patriotism.

Puro ta likhte gele ekta solid boi hoye jabe. Tai chestha korchi ekdom concise rakhar.

Tai niye onek backlash esche, kichu justified je sindoor shottyi Bharoter bibahito mohilader represent kore tai otake orom baaje bhabe neoya uchit na, abar kichu unjustified backlash o chilo jerom rape threats.

E shob er moddhye ekta narrative khub common : Bangali ra keno leftist aar anti-national?

Ekdom thik hocchilo; oi deshtar existence amader desh ke doshok er por doshok onek koshto diyeche. Kintu video evidence e dekha geche je Gujarat, Karnataka ebong amader priyo protibeshi Odisha teo ekta certain community r lokjon Pakistan er potoka raasta theke tule praay joriye chumu khey ney.

Acha ei khetre keu keno jiggesh korlo na je Gujarati, Kannadiga aar Odiya ra anti-national keno?

Aarekta jinish mathay elo ekta comment pore tai nijer reply ta copy-paste korchi :

>Apni kokhono [r/punjab](https://www.reddit.com/r/punjab/) sub tar logo ta dekhechen? United Punjab.

>Apni bhabte parchen amra jodi united Bengal er logo di (jodio amar 2 binduo iccha nei, just hypothetically bolchi) tahole ki chorom backlash hobe?

>Mane ei double standards keno? Bangladesh ekta traitor desh. Mene nilam. Kintu Pakistan (which is more or less West Punjab karon oi deshe bakira shobai 2nd class citizens) to aaro odhom; straight up enemies. Ora amader againt e juddho kore, amader ekhane eshe terrorism kore tobuo Diljit Dosanjh United Punjab er map taar costume er pichone print kore international press er shamne matha uchu kore darachhe.

>Ektu backlash oboshoyee ache kintu nothing that is comparable to what would've happened if an indian bengali had dared to do the same with united bengal map.

>Kokhono bhebe dekhechen eigulo?

Etao bhabar bishoy. Punjabi ra reminisce korte pare about united punjab and sikh unity even though West Punjab is Pakistan proper; bakira shobai from Sindhudesh to Balochistan are just 2nd class citizens. Ami ekdomi bolchina bangali der kora uchit kintu korle to puro kelenkari hoye jeto.
