    The OCI card is basically just India’s equivalent of a PR though.

    Yeah, “Political Instability” is not an excuse, it’s a major issue in Northeastern India, one which you would have known about if you actually bothered researching.

    Currently, there’s been a conflict going on between two ethnic groups of a state for months at this point, with even the armed forces involved to some extent.

    Even before that, there’s been a lot of conflicts between Assamese and Bengalis.

    There are entire states and regions in the Northeast that even non-local Indians require special permits to visit.

    The process is quite slow in India. I don’t know the process for refugees but for naturalisation you need to have lived in India the entire previous year and for 11 years in the thirteen years preceding that. So it would take 12 years if you entered India and never left. And that’s ignoring bureaucracy. It takes 7 years even for someone who marries an Indian citizen.

    Not sure how much it matters in daily life though. There are many illegal Bangladeshi immigrants working in Mumbai for example but then they also don’t really have good office jobs but more like labourers.

    According to the blog shared above by another user, one of the contributors is forking the code on github. There’s also probably older releases of the app over there.

    Out of curiosity, without medications, is the OCD constantly there or are there periods where it’s worse than normal and periods where it feels like it’s almost non-existent?

    You could use bitwarden, but TOTP functionality is paid and you shouldn’t store passwords and TOTP together anyways since that’s a single point of failure.

    I don’t know if this results in better/worse results than using quotations but, when you search something, you can click on the tools button and select between ‘all results’ and ‘verbatim’.
