"No one owns culture" when a Ukrainian performs Bharatnatyam.
But Hindus must accept evangelical proselytisation because it's "part of American culture."
So culture is ownerless when Hindus try to protect it, but historically binding when they try to resist conversion pressure.
Bhagat Singh sacrificed his life for India's freedom struggle against British colonial rule.
He was a fearless revolutionary, freedom fighter, and socialist who refused to bow down to the British Empire.
Don't insult Shaheed Bhagat Singh by comparing your funded nautanki to his martyrdom.
I wish I could RT this a 100 times. The biggest problem of a major section of RW is the self-anointed moral high ground and a holier-than-thou attitude that completely ignores ground realities and the nature of the enemy we are confronting. Many think of themselves to be 21st century Yudhishtirs.
Anyone reading the Mahabharata knows that Dharma did not win on its own. It won only because of Sri Krishna's creative battle strategies that involved deception and shades-of-grey tactics. News flash: life ceased to be black and white since Satya Yuga.
No rulebook would survive first contact with an enemy who does not play by those rules. So take your idealistic tolerant harmless version of Hinduism up where the sun and moon don't shine. A thorn has to be faced by a thorn only. The enemy decides the weapon, not some misplaced sense of Dharma that ignores context. Being harmless or tolerant is no virtue.
Remember Avengers - to defeat the leftist villain with the might and motivation of Thanos, we need to assemble a set of Dharmic superheroes who come with their own special set of skills and only if we unite as a team against this Thanos, we may have a one in 14 million odds to defeat him.
Whatever it takes. Whatever white, black or grey set of things it takes to win over Thanos, shall be undertaken in Kaliyuga. If you'd rather have your hands clean, then choose strategic silence instead of spouting irrelevant gyaan on the internet for moral posturing, thank you very much.
Etch this image in your mind and recall it every time you put some lofty principle over survival, ignoring the nature of the beast you're confronting.
Ancient Greek sources state that King Puru’s army carried the image of Heracles while marching against Alexander. As Heracles is widely understood in this context to refer to Sri Krishna, Porus was most likely not a Buddhist.
