Hi, do you take submissions for your reading lists?

mg_007_pete_stark

@MBEverette hi, my reading lists usually comprise of Chinese novels/cnovels  ^_^;  and I never actually took submissions, I just read cnovels, and if I find them good enough for fellow readers to read, I just add them to my suggestions book

I thought, I'd learn from Emmine Granger and not turn comment section into a chatbox  At least even more) 
          And yep, sage it was) Let me be the judge of that as a receiving side)

but there were good things too as you said, stuff like dowry was abolished, widow remarriages were encouraged, child marriages were abolished to some extent, and convents and institutes like that provided education irrespective of people's caste, lots of women were educated because of this, and they brought the idea of globalsiation too, so yeahh these were the positive things that histroy textbooks taught us, I scared you fof with my maniacal rant didn't I?

But India wasn't(still isn't)without flaws, cause if it really was that case, it wouldn't take people 3 centuries for gaining independence, there were kings and rulers who eyed other kingdoms which meant internal strife and lack of unity, there were caste and social class issues, and there were regions which saw fraternity and brotherhood irrespective of religions, while there were regions where the blood was shed for the same reasons.
            This was enough for the Brits to use their infamous 'Divide and Rule Policy'
            This is kinda similar to how they gained a strong political foothold through 'Act of Union' in 1707 and 1801, affecting Ireland and Scotland.
            One of the most brutal massacres in history were carried out by the GB folks was the 'Jallianwallah Bagh massacre' on April 13th 1919, it was carried out by a dude called General Dyer
            So, basically there was this rule then that gathering or grouping of people is not allowed(to prevent revolts againast the Brit govt), and many people gathered on that day in Jalianwallah Bagh to celebrate the Sikh's(a religion) new year where lots of women, kids and people in general gathered, these people were largely the common people who ahd nothing to do with revolting or freedom struggle, but what was supposed to be a joyous occasion turned into one of the darkest moments in Indian History, the routes to leave this place was blocked and a mass shooting was carried out, apparently even today  in Jallianwallah Bagh,the walls have the marks of red

@mg_007_pete_stark continuation abt me ranting abt the colonialism in India, so pls ignore it if you aren't interested in this-
            And when steam engine came into existence, the British needed lots of coal, tracks for the railway, the forests in India were reduced exponentially if we comapre wt we had before and after colonisation
            During WWI and WWII, the GB folks took Indian sepahi(in hindi, GB dudes called soldiers as Sepoy, at least get the pronunciation right guys) to fight their wars
            Racism was hugely seen everywhere
            And what's less known and discussed by the world economies is how Indian Math and Science were way ahead of their time, I think my ancestors from five centuries ago knew Math and Science better than I did.
            If you read chinese novels, you'd come across the term 'traditional chinese medicine' right, India too has its own traditional medicine called Ayurveda, which is equally powerful, but today, many prefer alopathy aka the English Medicine, Homeopathy etc, cause they're less bitter, and are the Western-approved. And we've had our fair share of Ancient Mathematicians and the quite recent ones like Aryabhatta and Srinivasa Ramanujan
            We had schools called Gurukuls where the students were taught for a specific amount of time, they didn't have things like fees and all that, they had to give their Guru aka the teacher a guru dakshina(something to convey their gratitude for all the knowledge they received). Learnign was more practical than theoretical. And quite a millenium ago, there existed civilisations like the Harrapan Civilisation, and Mohenjo Daro, these civilisations were so dman advanced that they had draiange systems, public bath houses, currency(instead of the barter system) back then, no one knows how those civilisations collapsed and why, but archaeologists have uncovered a lot abt them.

What if the one you loved... was destined never to be yours?
          
           What if your heart belonged to a warrior the world misunderstood?
          
           And what if you were the girl who walked between centuries, cursed with love too deep to be seen?
          
          ✨ Step into the soul-stained world of Anchal—a girl who laughs with princes, writes letters to Krishna, teases fate, and bleeds silently for a man who was never hers to claim.
          
          
           Amidst palace corridors, festival lights, secret markets, and war-scarred hearts, unfolds a tale of unwritten destinies, cursed promises, unspoken desires, and a love that defies time itself.
          
           If you believe love can be tragic and beautiful,
          
           If you believe even fate can weep,
          
          ️ If you’ve ever whispered to the moon about someone you couldn’t have—

@EmmineGranger  ohkay, I'm gonna suggest a completely insane and roundabout way for sharing my insta id, so first, if you go to my profile and in the end of About section, there's a link to my writeoutloud profile, as soon as you navigate to that website, the first thing you'll see abt my account is name, followed by my mail id, can u pls mail me to that mail id, say something that'll make me realise that it's you, I'm sure even James Bond and his colleagues do not show this level of complexity in exchanging messages or info

Hi firstly I'm here cuz I thought it'd be better if we don't turn a story's comment box into a chat box  and secondly thank you so much for all your advices . And actually I'm a PW student only (online batch) and ofc no doubt on the teachers they're just great but the real problem is me cuz I was caught in a never ending loop called backlog and so started barbaadi if 11th. But now I am determined to not let my 12th too barbaad I'll focus on my 12th properly cuz in 11th I exactly did what u told u shouldn't do : Reading Wattpad novels . I'll even take a drop after 12th if needed and yk all this hits so hard cuz till 10th I was a topper bro I even score 93% in board and due to that family has high expectations which is the main reason of all the misery . And also yaar ik NCERT is lifesaver but NCERT is literally trash yaar they ask q so out of topic , it's like I can even solve an Adv. Q but no NCERT. and ya till 10th Phy was my fav and 2nd Chem. but now in 11th they've swapped places so like u mine too strong is Chem. I'll try to do what all things u told and plz can I come to u if I have any other doubts, like I ask chatgpt about how to do and what to do but u need someone experienced for all this na and in my family I don't have anyone who has all these experience so yeah. And lastly no need of sorry for long msg I really need some good advice, and I too hope u r happy, healthy and supper good and also will be in future too. Btw in which year of college r u now and what course??
