India launched a private rocket, a hydrogent train, a barrier free expressway, three war ships, new long range missiles & misside defence shield, won Physics Olympics gold medals, Quantum communication, virtual magnet motor & fast breeder reactor just to divert attention from Jantar Mantar protest. What a terrible country 😡
Rubio is visiting the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata. Sergio Gor was there just days ago, reflecting on Mother Teresa's "legacy of service." It is a good time to revisit what that her legacy actually was.
Christopher Hitchens spent years investigating Mother Teresa. He wrote a book about it, "The Missionary Position," testified as devil's advocate in her beatification, and produced a documentary called "Hell's Angel." YouTube link in next post.
His central conclusion: "Mother Teresa was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty."
She glorified suffering rather than alleviating it. Her facilities in Kolkata were called houses of the dying, not houses of the curing. Patients with treatable conditions were not given proper medical care. Needles were reused without sterilization. Pain medication was withheld or barely administered. As Hitchens documented, she told a patient suffering unbearable pain from terminal cancer: "You are suffering like Christ on the cross. So Jesus must be kissing you."
The money was never the issue. Hitchens pointed out that she had immense quantities of money and material at her disposal. Millions flowed in from donors across the world. Where did it go? Not into medical equipment. Not into painkillers. Not into training. The conditions in her facilities remained deliberately austere while the donations piled up.
And the donors themselves tell a story. Hitchens documented that she accepted over a million dollars from Charles Keating, the savings and loan fraudster who was later convicted for swindling elderly investors out of their life savings. When Keating went to trial, she wrote to the judge asking for clemency. The prosecutor wrote back, politely explaining that the money Keating gave her was stolen, and asked her to return it. She never replied. She never returned the money.
She praised Haiti's Duvalier dictatorship, a regime responsible for the torture and murder of thousands, and accepted their Legion d'Honneur. She endorsed Albania's Enver Hoxha. As Hitchens put it, she was "a friend to the worst of the rich"
Then there was the conversion apparatus. Former nuns from the Missionaries of Charity described being instructed to secretly baptize the dying, asking patients if they wanted a "ticket to heaven" and wiping their foreheads with a wet cloth that doubled as baptismal water, whispering the words of the sacrament. Hindus and Muslims were baptized without informed consent on their deathbeds.
Hitchens summed it up: she spent her life "opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction."
None of this is bigotry. This is not an attack on Christianity or on faith. Jesus, as the Gospels record him, drove money lenders out of the temple. He railed against the wealthy and the hypocritical. He healed the sick. He did not tell them their suffering was beautiful. He did not take money from fraudsters and appeal on their behalf. The criticism of Mother Teresa is not a criticism of Christ. If anything, it is a defense of what Christ actually taught.
In today's world, she would have been exposed. The conditions in her facilities would have been filmed and uploaded as Insta reels. The financial secrecy would have triggered investigations. The secret baptisms would have been a scandal. She would have been compared to the evangelical faith healers and god men who promise miracles while collecting donations from the desperate.
But she operated in an era before that kind of scrutiny existed, and the mythology is set in stone. Hitchens was one of the few who did. He paid for it with public outrage. But the record he assembled remains unanswered.
India continues to scale new heights of progress but at the same time there are several challenges we have to overcome.
Here is my appeal to my fellow Indians.
If you do insider trading, SEBI will ensure that you go to jail. The jail sentence could be as long as 10 years. The financial penalty could be as high as three times the profit made. But if you are a bureaucrat you can get away with anything. 50 top officers purchased land near Bhopal. Within 16 months a Road project was sanctioned through the stretch. And then land use was changed to facilitate crores in windfall profits. @PMOIndia@CMMadhyaPradesh please make an example out of these charlatans. 50 top officers punished in one go will send a stern and serious message to the entire Bureaucracy. In the language of a Respected senior poltician "Ulta taangiye in choron ko".
Nasik TCS Scam
Now watch out following
1. CONgress & Left Cabal Political Parties won’t comment & will go into hiding 🤫
2. They will say let the probe happens coz their vote bank is involved
3. On the backend, this same left cabal & political parties like INC, TMC, AAP, RJD, SP, DMK & CPI will extend legal support to all the accused arrested quietly
4. On the frontend, sold out You Tubers, Historians, Mainstream Media Dalaals & NGO will publish alternative theories to save them
5. Muslim organisations will come into support of their people openly as they don’t hesitate always
6. Brain dead secular Hindus will continue to preach non sense secularism lessons
7. Zubair, Rana, Sayema, Arfa, Seemi Pasha & Saba gang will question the probe & systems
Mark all these points ☝️
The TCS case is disturbing for so many reasons.
There was clearly a sophisticated process in place to target Hindu women.
This level of sophistication indicates that this was not a one-off event at a one-off office.
There is a racket that has been doing this for a long time, likely for years, and have perfected their process over time.
That is the worrying bit.
How many more such Islamist networks are operating currently to target Hindu women?
There needs to be a large-scale investigation into this.
As a Hindu, I believe the entire Universe is the manifestation of the Divine. All of it - the river, the tree, the snake, the stone, the earthworm, the cow, the monkey, the elephant - all of it is divine manifestation. That belief is not Demonic, it is not Satanic, that is the path to living in harmony with nature and with other human beings.
Arrogant, intolerant monotheism - see the video below - that goes around labeling reverence for all of nature as "demonic" and "satanic"- that belief is what makes men do evil.
History supplies ample evidence. Hindus did not run crusades. Hindus did not burn witches at the stake. Hindus did not invade nations and enslave people in the name of bringing "Civilization" and "God" to "pagans".
Imagine the audacity of Muslim fanatics! They are using their positions in Top Corporate like TCS to coerce their juniors into conversions. Earlier we have seen Tuition centres and even Doctors doing the same. Every conceivable power dynamics is being used to seek conversions. The remedy isn’t anti conversion laws alone. The answer to this madness is a multi-pronged response. Challenge Islam and match their aggression. But the ultimate solution lies in Hinduism becoming a Proselytising religion. Not so long ago only Christians showed such zealousness in India. Dawah, though a fundamental tenet of Islam, wasn’t practiced so feverishly, at least in India. But now Muslims are matching Christians in their rabidity. Even tiny religions like Bahaism show similar zeal for conversions. This struggle can only be won by entering the conversion arena. Simply asking the Govt to stop conversions wouldn’t help. And Hinduism becoming a proselytising religion would require massive transformation. It will require temporal and scriptural authority for the conversion act, social transformation and sagacity to absorb converts, and instil a sense of merit in an average Hindu for seeking converts.
People who read, write, and speak English often seem to flounder, mostly deliberately and confuse (or rather, obfuscate) the distinction between a terrorist and an assassin.
Ajmal Kasab was a terrorist.
Nathuram Godse was an assassin.
Kasab’s mission was indiscriminate slaughter. To kill anybody and everybody with his AK-47. The more the better.
He fired randomly into crowds and took aim at individuals alike, his purpose being to create chaos, mayhem, and death.
Godse’s mission was singular - to eliminate Gandhi, and Gandhi alone.
Everything we have seen, experienced, and studied about jihadi terror tells us that it is guided solely by religion.
Blood is spilt in the name of Allah, and those who perpetrate it believe they do so with divine sanction.
That was not the case with Godse. He assassinated Gandhi for what he believed was a political and moral cause.
Crucially, he neither ran nor hid. He surrendered, fully aware that under the law he had murdered a man and would face trial and punishment.
To repeatedly dredge up a single 77 year-old incident to equate it with the global scourge of jihadi terror, that the world continues to endure in its most brutal forms only exposes the weakness of the argument, the strength of the victimhood narrative, and the evil of the ideology that sustains it.
Who is Rohinton Nariman? Ex Supreme court judge
When did he become SC judge? Right after resigning as Solicitor General of Sonia Gandhi's UPA
How did he become Senior Counsel at the young age of 37? Because he is son of Fali Nariman who was add SG for Indira
Is Rohinton Nariman secular? No he is an Ordained Priest and has made disparaging remarks on Vedas using SC seat
Where was he giving this lecture? Justice Ahmadi foundation
Who was Ahmadi? He heard Union Carbide case and you know what happened to it
Who argued in favor of Union Carbide in front of Ahmadi? Fali Nariman
What did Ahmadi do after ruling on Union Carbide in his last 15 days? Became Trustee of Bhopal rehab trust funded by Union Carbide
What else Rohingon Nariman does? Goes around telling people Modi changed law to appoint election commissioner
Is it true? No. When Nariman was active in law, 29 election commissioners were appointed by PMs. Modi's law includes LOP in the process, which is an improvement. But he choses to lie about it
How to hold such privileged evil people accountable? Share this. Expose them.
देश के अमर सेनानी महाराणा प्रताप को उनकी जयंती पर कोटि-कोटि नमन। मातृभूमि के स्वाभिमान की रक्षा के लिए उन्होंने जिस साहस और शौर्य का परिचय दिया था, वह आज भी हमारे वीर-वीरांगनाओं के लिए पथ-प्रदर्शक बना है। मां भारती को समर्पित उनका पराक्रमी जीवन देशवासियों को सदैव प्रेरित करता रहेगा।
There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on 𝕏. Working on shutting it down.
Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later.
Every Sikh MP and MLA, irrespective of their political affiliation and ideology, raised the issue of Afghan Sikhs and ensured they get Indian citizenship.
How many Hindus MPs and MLAs have raised the issue of Bangladesh Hindus?
Asking this question with all humility.
How did we get here?
Hindus, especially the English-speaking affluent kind (and opinion shapers to a large extent) have been conditioned to have no affinity towards their faith as an important part of their identity. Except on ethnic day at work or Deepavali.
We have all been schooled in a fashion which doesn’t inculcate pride in our Hindu identity. It is positioned as something regressive.
The rest of us are made to believe there are no atrocities against Hindus, only acts of revenge. It is *our* fault for provoking others, you see. The onus on being accommodative, inclusive and maintaining harmony is also only on Hindus. Any extremist, intolerant view from others is from ‘fringe’ while similar from others is the mainstream.
Important thread 🧵
On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima, here is a thread about the great Hindu sage-king Serfoji Bhonsale. As very little is known about his stunning personal character and achievements, this is an earnest attempt to shed light on his story.
In 18th century under barbarians like Aurangzeb, Nadir Shah, Abdali and Tipu. India descended into dark age, illiteracy, anarchy and poverty.
But there was a shining light in this period: Tanjavur and its king Maharaja Serfoji Bhonsale. His efforts led to rejuvenation of Hindu civilization in southern India. His efforts ignited an intellectual renaissance whose legacy persists to this day.
I will never forget the famous reddit post on rabies. Read it. And never fucking take Rabies lightly again.
You go camping and While taking a nap, a tiny bat bites You and gives you a tiny scrape that goes completely.
Rabies does not travel in your blood. In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated)
The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the wick. The rabies will multiply along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable. You literally have NO symptoms.
It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten. Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache?
At this point, you're already dead. There is no cure
There's no treatment. It has a 100% kill rate.
Absorb that. Not a single other virus on the planet has a 100% kill rate. Only rabies. And once you're symptomatic, it's over. You're dead.
So what does that look like?
Your headache turns into a fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. You're fidgety. Uncomfortable. And scared. As the virus that has taken its time getting into your brain finds a vast network of nerve endings, it begins to rapidly reproduce, starting at the base of your brain... Where your "pons" is located. This is the part of the brain that controls communication between the rest of the brain and body, as well as sleep cycles.
Next you become anxious. You still think you have only a mild fever, but suddenly you find yourself becoming scared, even horrified, and it doesn't occur to you that you don't know why. This is because the rabies is chewing up your amygdala.
As your cerebellum becomes hot with the virus, you begin to lose muscle coordination, and balance. You think maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor now, but assuming a doctor is smart enough to even run the tests necessary in the few days you have left on the planet, odds are they'll only be able to tell your loved ones what you died of later
You're twitchy, shaking, and scared. You have the normal fear of not knowing what's going on, but with the virus really fucking the amygdala this is amplified a hundred fold. It's around this time the hydrophobia starts
You're horribly thirsty, you just want water. But you can't drink. Every time you do, your throat clamps shut and you vomit. This has become a legitimate, active fear of water. You're thirsty, but looking at a glass of water begins to make you gag, and shy back in fear. The contradiction is hard for your hot brain to see at this point. By now, the doctors will have to put you on IVs to keep you hydrated, but even that's futile. You were dead the second you had a headache
You begin hearing things, or not hearing at all as your thalamus goes. You taste sounds, you see smells, everything starts feeling like the most horrifying acid trip anyone has ever been on. With your hippocampus long under attack, you're having trouble remembering things, especially family
You're alone, hallucinating, thirsty, confused, and absolutely, undeniably terrified. Everything scares the literal shit out of you at this point. These strange people in lab coats. These strange people standing around your bed crying, who keep trying to get you "drink something" and crying. And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you
Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours
Then you die. Always, you die
And there's nothing anyone can do
Israelis across the country—on Shabbat and the holiday of Simchat Torah—woke up to sirens sounding and Hamas firing rockets at them from Gaza this morning.
We will defend ourselves.
