customers start predominantly flying the other airlines with cheaper fares

I was with you till this part, except with the way flying is set up in this country, there's very little competition between airlines. They've essentially set themselves up with airports/hubs so if an airline is down for a day, that's kinda it unless you want to switch to a different airport.

Sure man, seems like youre taking on a pretty stressful job, but again no one here but you is bringing up Hindutva, and maybe in a more peaceful time you can recalibrate and assess whether your words are impacting the way I think you'd like them to.

Since you want to be rude, Rajasthan isn't thought of as poor anymore, not as much since BIMARU days.

And grains/vegetables/cereal being significantly cheaper compared to meat in India/Rajasthan means those who are poorer are generally consuming more vegetarian items. Im finding it very difficult to think of a meat based Rajasthani dish, but they're commonly associated with dal Bhati churma (all vegetarian).

Attacking poorer folks for eating whatever they can afford, which sometimes amounts to donated/leftover animal carcasses is a pretty terrible thing to do (also hint hint is basically the same folks BJP likes to attack, generally the dalits and Scheduled castes)

The way India's PDS works (the largest in the world btw) is that some amount of grains, pulses, vegetable oil is provided essentially free of charge to those living in poverty (I don't have the exact numbers on hand but it's something like eg. 20 lbs of wheat flour per person per month at a cost of like 2 cents/lb)

As for the ritualistic purity being the reason for being vegetarian, that is definitely more of UP/Sindhi/Marathi cultural relic than Rajasthani, and even then someone who abstains from meat 3 days a week is still doing better than most others.

As for the BJP, they can all cannibalize each other for all I care, but what Hamid fails to mention is that this election was remarkable setback for the party, they are retaining power only due to having two allies with strenuous ties, and some mischief, and Rajasthan went 8 seats to opposition and 14 to BJP so about 2/3rd BJP to not. Definitely not a stronghold anymore, so idk why Hindutva is figuring so high on the commenters list of gripes

Dartmouth College, the ivy League one, requires engineering degrees to be done in 5 years and as a liberal arts college there's a good chunk of the prereqs being humanities

I truly believe the parent comment is straight up lying lmao, no job is going to keep you employed for more than a few days without an explanation, and insurance benefits end the month the employer terminates you.

Not the correct community, feels like just an ad

Right, which might be a reason to start taking everything western media reports with a giant grain of salt.

740 employees is like 15k Vietnamese sweatshop kids

I agree with you, and I think it's a controversial take only in the activist spheres of western online intelligentsia, while frankly most of the world doesn't think it's a real problem in the grand scheme of things
