Can’t link to any because it’s been a while since I did this.
Honestly though, I don’t understand why Amazon is still supporting these versions lol.

I live in a multilingual country and keep receiving recommendations (like half the auto generated playlists) from a particular language despite not having that language selected.
And they don’t take ‘hide song’ into consideration for the recommendation algorithm!

Like, I seriously doubt the average Britisher would be informed enough to be able to distinguish between different Slavs based on accent / looks.

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.

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.

How can someone be so indoctrinated that even the death of their own child won’t convince them.
