I was fourteen, walking home from school in Paris with my French-American friend. Summer was around the corner and the heat was relentless.
‘You must be used to this heat,’ she said.
‘Not really,’ I replied. ‘We lived in the hills in India before we came to Paris.’
‘Hills? I didn’t know India had hills.’
‘We have the Himalayas,” I had replied. ‘The highest mountains in the world.’
She stopped dead.
‘You’ve got to be kidding! The highest mountains are in America.’
That expression of absolute certainty is etched into my memory even today.
Twenty years later, when I met her again in New York, I reminded her of that conversation. We couldn’t stop ourselves from laughing.
So anyway that afternoon we went home, and I opened my Philips Atlas and showed her the Himalayas.
‘You know,’ she said thoughtfully, ‘ I’d always wondered about that weird name. I just assumed it was some Native American name.’
A few weeks later, in geography class, while studying the Alps, our teacher announced they were the highest mountains in the world.
My newly enlightened friend proudly corrected her.
‘Actually, the Himalayas are.’
The teacher shot me a look that instantly identified the culprit behind this inconvenient fact.
Then, without missing a beat, she recovered.
‘Yes… but the Himalayas are the newest highest mountains. The Alps were the oldest highest mountains.’
Case closed.
At fourteen, I learnt one of life’s great lessons: The West doesn’t just write history, geography, science. It often decides it.
If something is ancient, extraordinary or foundational, somehow it must have originated in Europe or at the very least be explained through a European lens.
The Rig Veda became “Aryan.” A Middle Eastern Jew named Jesus acquired blond hair and blue eyes.
Even Panini, at one point, seemed to belong to everyone except India.
Now, apparently, Panini is Pakistani.
Progress, I suppose.
From ‘ that’s impossible’ to ‘it was ours all along.’
The script changes. The narrator doesn’t.

Ruchika Sharma may not even know who Suba Veerapandian is, but he's delivered the exact same wordings in a EVR payirchi pattarai class some 40 years ago.
Amazing consistency in the narrative - exact same misinterpretation of Vedic terminologies, exact same literalification of Purusha Suktha metaphor, exact same "2500 year caste discrimination" phrasing.
Hindus must realize we are not battling isolated individuals. We are up against the same H-hating giant octopus. One of its tentacle will be a Hindi academic, while another will be a Tamil political activist, but they all have been programmed with the same GIGO script.
Sometimes this octopus will squirt different inks like linguistic pride, soshal justice, eye shadow feminizm, w0keizm etc. to hide itself, but its H-hating scent will always throw its identity away.
Good news is that Octopus is not an apex predator. It stands no chance against a shark. In the absence of shark, even a group of piranhas can unite and win over an octopus. Individually the piranhas stand no chance.
@DrGanesh_Japan@vimodkr@Indumakalktchi These dstock dimwits don't have enough gray matter in their brains to think critically! They thrive on rhetoric & when confronted with intellectual counter arguments, they run with their tails between their legs. Don't engage these cockwombles. Better ignore them as barking dogs!
@sona_sebin I watched it yesterday akka! Mind blown! Had the satisfaction of having watched a great Tamil movie in a long time. I kept re-watching the fight scenes. Like the chain snatching attempt, her smirk on the broken TV was such a thug moment! Climax of the two pairs of fighting duos!!
@sona_sebin I have no idea who that is, but whoever it may be, TN BJP lost the game when they missed out on their once in a lifetime opportunity, to have someone like Annamalai anna to lead them. Just my 2 cents.
Why is there a sudden swing of increased rabid attacks against thambi annamalai???? The usual ones can be dismissed but a new set of attackers makes me wonder if some thing new is being planned.
But confident about who will emerge victorious from this onslaught.
This handle consistently exposes Brown Sepoys- a good start.
Time has come to name and shame these snakes openly.
There must be a total social boycott of these Brown Sepoys.
Let them feel the consequences of their betrayal.
I always thought why the cultural right has historically lost ground despite having truth on its side. IMO, the Right & Center have suffered from a self-imposed handicap: let us call this "Yudhishthira Paradox"
They bring the rules of a Dharmayuddha (righteous war) to a street fight, while the Left plays by the rules of absolute, asymmetric annihilation. The Left does not want to win a debate; they want to destroy your livelihood, cancel your credentials, dox your family & completely wipe you out from public life.
In the Mahabharata, the Kauravas systematically broke every single rule of traditional Dharma. They tried to poison Bhima, burn the Pandavas alive in the house of lac, publicly disrobe a queen & trick them in a rigged game of dice.
When the war started, Yudhishthira initially wanted to stick to chivalrous, rule-bound warfare (Prakasha-Yuddha). But Bhagavan Shri Krishna explicitly rejected this naive approach. Krishna introduced Kuta-Yuddha: strategic, asymmetric warfare where the rules of the enemy are turned against them to ensure their absolute elimination.
When the enemy has already abandoned Dharma, sticking to abstract moral superiority is not virtue; it is suicide.
Acharya Chanakya, the master of statecraft in the Arthashastra, devoted entire chapters to Kantaka-Shodhana, which literally translates to the "clearing of thorns" from society.
The biggest mistake the modern Right makes is confusing Dharma with Western pacifism/weak sentimentalism. "If they abuse me, I will be polite, because my culture teaches tolerance."
Our culture teaches Kshatradharma. Dharma comes from the root word Dhri (to sustain). Anything that destroys the balance of truth & survival of society is Adharma. Allowing a toxic, malicious bully to destroy your life, family & heritage while you sit back & claim moral superiority is actually Adharma because you are enabling evil to win.
As Rishi Vishwamitra taught Sri Rama & as Samarth Ramdas taught Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj: Evil must be met with overwhelming, decisive force.
The Left operates on the rules of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: "Freeze the target, personalize it & polarize it." They attack the person, not the argument. When you are fighting for Dharma in the intellectual space, your goal should not be to get a "good job" certificate from the Leftist elites. Your goal must be the complete, data-driven & structural dismantling of their fraudulent narrative.
As the Rig Veda (10.84.2) says in the Manyu Suktam:
अग्निरिव मन्यो तविषितः सहस्व सेनानीर्नः सहुरे हूतेधि |
हत्वाय शत्रून वि भजस्व वेद ओजो मिमानो वि मर्धोनुदस्व ||
Flashing like fire, be thou, O conquering Manyu, invoked, O Victor, as our army's leader. Slay thou our foes, distribute their possessions: show forth thy vigour, scatter those who hate us.
@AmyMek Believe it or not, its the same story everywhere! Even here in Bharat, the so called 'Hindu-nationalist' fascist BJP govt factually did more for muslims, than the previous left Government, and none seem to care about Hindus, their core voter base, because we got no other choice!
The Real Reason Politicians Pander to Islam
We keep hoping Trump - or the next “strong” leader - will save America from Islamization.
He won’t.
And neither will any future president who actually wants to win.
Here’s why:
Any candidate serious about the White House must pander to the Islamic vote. Not because they love it — because that bloc shows up. They vote in lockstep. They treat every election like war.
While millions of Americans stay home on Election Day, organized Muslim communities turn out at 80-93%. That’s how they flip school boards, city councils, and even mayoral races with just a few thousand disciplined votes.
Look at New York City.
Even with nonstop national coverage, only 42% of the city voted.
But Muslim voters turned out at 93% - and 97% of them backed their candidate, Zohran Mamdani
Result? New York City got its first Muslim mayor.
Low turnout didn’t just cost an election.
It surrendered a major American city to Islam.
Now look at Michigan.
Trump needed that state. So he went straight to the Islamic community that votes as one. They stood beside him and said they were fighting for “America Great Again through peace and justice.”
Trump heard normal words - "Peace and Justice"
They meant something very different.
As I have explained for years:
In Islamist doctrine, “peace” only comes when the world submits to Islamic rule.
“Justice” means Sharia.
That’s not theory. That’s their own language and strategy.
This is the trap:
We cannot outsource our survival to one politician.
Every president or candidate who wants power will eventually court the group that reliably shows up and delivers blocs of votes.
The only way to stop the pandering is to make pandering to Islam politically suicidal.
That means:
We show up in higher numbers than they do.
Every single election - school board, city council, state rep, Congress.
No more “my vote doesn’t matter.”
No more waiting for a savior.
We take our local communities back first.
Then the culture. Then the country.
Because if we keep sleeping while they vote in lockstep… the next “savior” will just be another politician doing what it takes to win.
The future isn’t decided in one election.
It’s decided by who shows up every time.
Show up. Outvote them.
Or keep hoping someone else will do it for you.
Your move, America.
Islam's moral ceiling is fixed. It was set 1,400 years ago, by Muhammad and the Qur’an.
You can’t go higher than Muhammad. He’s the limit. The ceiling.
Muhammad married a child, took slaves, ordered executions, waged wars, lied, raped, hated, and stole.
So how can anyone say those things are wrong if the man who did them is still your highest example?
That’s why Islam doesn’t change, not because Muslims don’t want it to, but because they’re not allowed to imagine anything better than what’s already been given.
The West, shaped by centuries of Judeo-Christian moral struggle, leaves space to climb. It admits mistakes. It reforms. It questions. It separates power from holiness.
Islam doesn’t.
That’s why it doesn’t evolve, and why, when it enters a modern society, it doesn’t integrate. It collides.
Because a faith that locks morality in the 7th century can’t live peacefully in a world that keeps growing.
@Fintech03 Its a moment of schadenfreude for me to witness this brainless piece of turd @tishasaroyan, in her dumbness & mediocrity, call others low iq. What this pathetic lowlife doesn't seem to comprehend, with her empty skull is that she is exposing her own incompetence and ineptness!🤡
Syria (Aleppo) in the 1950s, when 40% of the population was Christian. Today, it is less than 1%. This is the case for all the Middle East under Islam. Funny how no one cares about this real genocide.
Germany's state-funded broadcaster has spent more than two decades shaping international perceptions of India.
At the center of much of that coverage is one journalist: Murali Krishnan.
This thread examines the record. 🧵
There are hundreds and hundreds of temple priests like this in Tamil Nadu, struggling hard to make ends meet. Because they are Brahmins, they get no govt schemes, no reservations, not even any sympathy. I am donating of course, but please think ten times before you revile all Brahmins.
@iamsum80 If a man makes such disgusting remark these days, he'd be put in a mental asylum for counseling or jailed. Sadly about 2 billion people find this perversion, worthy of emulation, and expect the rest of humanity to accept! What a clown world we are living in!
