The representation of India created by John Board on the 1887 Doulton Fountain on Glasgow Green. Designed for the 1888 International Exhibition, it's the largest terracotta fountain in the world. It features Queen Victoria at its summit, while at the bottom are representations of the four components of her empire: Australia, Canada, South Africa and India.

Poster with imagery that features a still from the film with its protagonist and her two children. The title calls for a change in society and deals with the topic of mill workers and their rights. The poster has similarities to Soviet revolutionary designs, with the strong use of reds and yellows, and wedge-like forms to anchor the text and illustration to one corner.

Poster featuring a child with a halo illustrated behind his head.

Bhakta Prahlada translates to “The Devotee”, and the religious themes are made evident with the image of the reverent titular figure, Prahlada. This Telugu poster has a clear demarcation of artwork and text. The title displays ornate designs that introduce leafy flares in the thicker parts of the letterforms that match the temple arch-motif in the halo around the main image. Bifurcated, Tuscan serif-like terminals are seen in the matras that have been drawn to fit into the space available. To make space for text above it, “Bhakta” is lettered at a smaller size than “Prahlada” and brings to focus the name of the devotee.

Poster featuring a camel caravan and orange sunset between mountain cliffs.

The poster breaks away from usual imagery of the actors and depicts the journey the protagonist makes from Afghanistan to Calcutta (now Kolkata). The title is a distinctive design that reduces the Bengali letterforms to their geometric forms, giving them a stencil-like quality. The curved forms feature a crescent terminal, which helps keep the letters readable. The remaining text on the poster has a more calligraphic, fluid feel contrasting with the geometric forms of the title.

Something you won't see discussed re: the #USA striking #Iran : spillovers.

What might happen next:

- the USA strikes North #Korea
- #China escalate the East China Sea & South China Sea issues
- China attack #Israel & #US allies to protect its interests in Iran
- The #AxisOfEvil activates
- China can also choose to escalate the war between #India and #Pakistan
- there is still the war between #Russia and #Ukraine

You won't see it discussed because #PacificAsia & the larger #AsiaPacific don't matter to most people saying their piece about the wars in the #MiddleEast .

Now that the USA joined the war against Iran, we are now dangerously close to #WorldWarIII #WorldWar3 #WWIII #WW3 , it all comes down to the next action of the freaking colonial mentality USA and superstitious China (a.k.a. Dragon Emperor myth).

"Indian court rules #transWomen are #women and ‘legally entitled to recognition’"

'In a landmark ruling for the country, after rejecting claims that womanhood was preserved only for those who can bear children, the High Court of #AndhraPradesh ruled that #trans women were “legally entitled” to recognition as women.

...tying the definition of women to pregnancy was “legally unsustainable” and contradicted #India’s constitution'
