If this happened in China this would be considered signs of impending end of dynasty. The emperor not doing anything when natural disaster struck is cause for people like 陈胜吴广 (their particular rebellion started precisely because of a flood btw) to emerge, raise the big banner that says 替天行道 and start rebellions.
Thats why they're idiotic. Men and women are both humans and have equal capacity to learn. To teach an uninitiated woman how to drive a boat is no different than teaching an uninitiated man.
Oh I was assuming it was a work by a white servant who tried to lick the boots of his majesty Bharat master. I am less impressed now.
That's a very expensive lesson for women to learn the ropes of sailing. No lives lost, but an entire ship is now gone. You don't just replace a ship like that like replacing a car from your local car dealer.
Why would some idiot servant trying to lick his/her Bharat master's boot impress you? Shouldn't that be disgusting?
Wouldn’t that be an evidence of Bharat becoming a truly superpower? Nothing more impressive than it. Boot licking and ball lifting are common in Bharat to show respect to higher castes. Calling it disgusting makes you a racist!
The dead lawyer was a former activist of the 1989 Tiananmen protests. And he continued to support Chinese dissidents who were moving to the US. So good riddance.
