🎙️ 'If we do not tell our own stories, others will' - Ana Pararajasingham on Uprooted When Ana Pararajasingham set out to gather the stories of thirty-four Eelam Tamils scattered across the world, it was out of a worry that the history behind their displacement was already fading, even within the diaspora itself. His book, Uprooted: Stories from the Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora, presents those lives not as isolated accounts of personal success but as the record of a people driven from their homeland who went on to rebuild elsewhere. He spoke to the Tamil Guardian about the process behind the book.

Pregnancy wasn't 50/50. Birth wasn't 50/50. Breastfeeding wasn't 50/50. The mental load wasn't 50/50. Postpartum recovery wasn't 50/50. The sleepless nights weren't 50/50. The physical changes weren't 50/50.

How babus harm Indian Engineers: I ran a US based startup. My engineering team was in India. Not in Bangalore or Delhi, but scattered across small towns and villages around UP/Bihar/Assam. They were some of the best engineers I have worked with anywhere. The only thing they lacked was the ability to speak English like someone who went to a Delhi private school. That one accident of birth kept them off the rosters of every shiny startup. I turned that into an advantage. I go find them. And I pay them exactly what an English-speaking engineer in Bangalore would get, without making them move. Same code, same salary. English fluency was never the skill I was hiring for. Now I wanted to give them what my US team members had: ownership. A real piece of what they were building. For a young dude from a village in Gonda or Chapra, that can be generational, life-changing money when we exit. But I could’t. The moment an Indian employee exercise their options (convert them to shares), without selling anything they get taxed on the paper gain as salary (I have heard it could be as high as 42%). For a private company, no buyer, no liquidity, no cash. But they get slapped with a tax bill, sometimes larger than their salary, on money they haven't earned. So, if I gave them equity, the choice I wd have forced on those engineers was: pay lakhs out of pocket for shares they can't sell, or give up the equity. In the US employees pay nothing until they sell, and if they hold long enough, they may pay almost nothing at all (federal). I have heard that in India , there is a "deferral" now. But if my info is correct, it covers ~2% of startups. Like most other startups, mine wont qualify. The fix is one line: tax the shares when they are sold, not when they are bought. Every developed country does it. India could do it tomorrow but it does not. Why? Due to babus (not Nirmala S).

Average meal I have in the UK vs the average meal I have in America 🇺🇸 My life has been changed forever.

It’s understandable when individuals display irrational or even psychotic behavior - we’re human, imperfect, emotional, and prone to error. But it’s not acceptable when nations behave that way. Countries are supposed to make wiser, more measured decisions through collective judgment, institutions, and deliberation. When a nation acts irrationally, the consequences are borne by millions.

The entire world is enjoying American food except for the UK. They are fighting for their right to eat a cold onion and cheese sandwich 😂

Europeans make fun of American eating habits, just to come over the pond and have the most mind blowing experience over a mid chicken joint.

After dedicated European editions, Linux Foundation is now organizing Open Source Summit in India. The goal is to bring the vast developer community and ecosystem under one roof.

One of the biggest scams in India is allotting centres of competitive exams in other states or 400–800 km away. Why can’t exam centres be allotted within the same state or city as the aspirants?

Why does every American open the door for you, ask you how your day was and ask if you need help/ recommendations with anything? Serious question
