The government doesn’t get to decide you’re guilty

I want to call out how important this is. This is one of the strongest checks against corruption in the countries that have it.

As a concrete example, if we didn’t have this in the US, I’m not sure there would be much to stop Trump’s justice department from bringing cases against Trump’s enemies in front of Trump appointed judges, and sending them to jail. Jack Smith and James Comey would likely be in jail right now if we didn’t have jury trials.

Curry is a global cuisine.

It may originate in India, but it has been incorporated into local cuisines all over the world. Most countries in Asia have their own versions of curry at this point. I’d argue that the UK does too, even if they call it “Indian”. Even the concept of curry as a category of food is largely a British invention, and many of the things we’ve been calling curry for more than a hundred years have little relation to Indian food.

Also, India is a large and diverse country. Many Indians don’t eat beef, but there are absolutely whole populations of Indians who eat beef curry regularly.
