The derogatory term, "Ghinder" is a racial slur that is commonly used to refer to former members of the British Raj. This term has a fruitful history, dating back to when the British Empire ruled parts of the Indian Subcontinent under the British Raj, a period of colonial rule that lasted from 1858 to 1947. During this time, the British exercised subversive control over its people. The modern nations of India, Pakistan & Bangladesh were historically known to be forced into their sovereignty, their people subjected to cruel and unjust torture. Specifically, the word is derived from the Hindi word "Gandhi" and was used as a pejorative term to describe those who were under British authority. Over time, the meaning of the term has evolved significantly, and it has come to refer to any person of South Asian descent who is seen as either low-class, dirty, or incarcerated for menial labor. However, despite its negative connotations, the slur has taken on a more positive meaning. Countless ghinders have “embraced” this term, using it as a form of in-group identification. In such communities, the word is a playful or affectionate greeting, seen as a way of establishing a sense of belonging. Additionally, courteous ghinders are able to give out 'passes'. G-word passes are primarily given out to members of different racial identifications due to their inability to say the word. However, if a pass is granted, the holder is finally able to divulge the slur, free of societal judgment.
Person 1: "Man, I hate ghinders! They smell like shit."

Person 2: "Put that on my thrice-removed cousin-brother's baby momma's dogwalker's unborn daughter!"

Person 1: "Dude, I can't believe Rohit Venkatesh works at 7/11!"

Person 2: "He's definitely a ghinder, bro."

A mix between Grime and Indie.
Rather self explanatory.
Grime being an underground genre largley established in the early 2000's, topped of with a helping of Indie fronting it.
After the huge Indie boom over the past few years some clever soles decided to mix the two genres to become Grindie.
One of the more 'mainstream' bands that front this move would british(oh yes!) band Hadouken!.
Contraversially though i must admit.
Some critics believe Hadouken! are the best new comer of 2007 in the new music scene and others believe they are the worst mixed-genre band. Ever. Claiming that James, the front guy has sold out his roots as being an original Grime act.
This was formally brought to the lovers and haters of Hadouken!s attention in an issue of NME(an ace new music magazine in England) with a whole article devoted to the argument. One side lovers. Otherside haters.
In the issue of NME which followed the debate James appeared saying that he hasnt sold anyone out and that his music is music.
Love it and buy the tracks.
Hate it and go back and listen to bloody Razorlight.

I i were you id choose the first one.

Other bands and DJ's in the Grindie genre would be Grime Dj, Statik and also Lithal Bizzle.
But yes.
That for you is Gindie.
Listen to Hadouken!.
They're mint.

If you like Grindie you may want to try different genres such as new rave, nurave, Grime, and Dancecore.

I hope i have enlightened you.
Thanks for reading.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
