Many foreigners make fun of India by saying India is dirty and Indians are unhygienic. Are we really that bad?

India has so many chances to sell soft power and culture and change the image of India

The problem is not about personal hygiene but about poverty and mismanagement

You need to get Ramayana global to Europe and the States

Why do you think it is bad to allow people to self-identify as a different gender?

You allow Corruption to fester and make life unbearable for poor people and force them to migrate by the Dunki route and the poorest people become the face of India when just fifteen years ago, it was all about the migrants in silicon valley

India is dirty because poor people who dont have a home are forced to sleep on the streets amidst the thrash with rats running all over them

Not unless they live in very cold places where a bath could be bad , healthwise.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.
