Amitabh Agnihotri's pointed view on the draconian #UGCRegulations

#UGC_RollBack

[Lil Southern Girl @LilSouthrnGrl]

Dear Muslims: My family and I have decided to move from the US to a Muslim country. We haven't picked which one yet—we're still comparing which one offers the best benefits package.

All my neighbors want to come too. And my neighbors' neighbors. And all their friends. And their friends' friends. Millions of us will show up with suitcases and a sense of entitlement.

As a large Christian community, we'll need a few small changes: Please start building churches immediately. Real churches, with nice loud bells, the kind that can be heard from the town square.

We'll also need for everyone to celebrate Christmas, and to close certain streets once a year for our processions. We may want to gather to pray to our Almighty God on your streets, in your parks, or on the lawns of your mosques.

We'll be an oppressed minority, so you'll have to be understanding and adapt to our way of life. Every supermarket must stock real pork, ham, chorizo, and bacon. And we're bringing all our dogs, so you'll need dog parks, and you'll have to smile tolerate them we walk them in front of your mosques. We want our women to be able to safely go out alone and wear shorts and tank tops. And when the weather's nice, we men like to go shirtless. We also want to drink alcohol, dance, and place an occasional bet at the horse races.

While we're at it, your religious holidays are a bit too much; they could offend the Christian community, so we'd appreciate it if you'd discreetly eliminate them. Thanks.

In schools and workplaces, our children and employees must be able to wear large crucifixes, say prayers, eat ham sandwiches in the cafeteria, and learn Christian principles without anyone getting criticized. We also demand chapels or Christian prayer rooms in every building, plus translators, because we have no intention of learning Arabic.

If any of this is rejected, please send a list of police station addresses so we can report you for discrimination, Christianophobia, racism, and anything we don't like.

One more thing: if my kids protest or burn your flag for any reason, please be understanding. I'll be sure to give them a very serious scolding.

Finally, we all want generous benefits, free housing, phones, free food, and pocket money while we "integrate" over the next three generations. Working is optional, obviously. Be patient with us, you'll get used to it.

We thank you in advance for your tolerance and compassion. After all, diversity is our strength!

Sincerely,
A Very Reasonable Christian

Ahh look, the clown @INCKerala is back. 🤡

Bars. Beer foam. Dance. Alcohol. That’s quite a fixation. Guess some things really do run in the DNA.

The economy isn’t taking advice from the bar counter.

India’s GDP is roaring at 7.8%, and no amount of foam memes or fake news is going to change that.

Keep recycling the alcohol specials. We’re already familiar with the brand. 😉

GDP numbers don’t care about your ancestral feelings.

No fewer than two dozen major wars were fought among the Rajputs with zero Muslim involvement. Not a single episode involved self-immolation of any kind. Not one. Neither Indian, nor foreign accounts record a single instance. Now see this:

- 712-712, Dahir of Sind vs. Muhammad bin Qasim: Jauhar committed.
1232-1232, Gwalior (Rajputs) vs. Iltutmish: Jauhar committed
- 1301-1301, Ranthambore vs. Alauddin Khalji: Jauhar committed
- 1299-1299, Jaisalmer vs. Alauddin Khalji: Jauhar committed
- 1303-1303, Chittor vs. Alauddin Khalji: 1st jauhar of Chittor
- 1327-1327, Kampili vs. Muhammad bin Tughluq: Jauhar committed
- 1326-1326, Jaisalmer vs. Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq: Jauhar committed
- 1486-1486, Kuva (Kankavati) vs. Mahmud Begada: Jauhar committed
- 1528-1528, Chanderi vs. Babur: Jauhar committed.
- 1535-1535, Chittor vs. Bahadur Shah: 2nd jauhar of Chittor
- 1543-1543, Raisen vs. Humayun: 3 jauhars committed
- 1568-1568, Chittor vs. Akbar: 3rd jauhar of Chittor
- 1634-1634, Bundelkhand vs. Aurangzeb: Jauhar committed
- 1710-1710, Daddanala vs. Mir Fazlullah: Jauhar committed

Similarly, when the British came, we had a series of gruesome engagements starting with Plassey and Buxar, then going on to the Carnatic Wars, the Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Anglo-Maratha Wars, the Anglo-Gurkha War, the Anglo-Sikh Wars, the Anglo-Burmese Wars, the Anglo-Afghan Wars, and many, many more.

No jauhar.

Now, when someone like that book reviewer condemns “Hindutva” for “glorifying jauhar,” I am fully on their side. I agree it was a morbid ritual that does not belong in a civilized society, thank goodness we no longer do that. But do you see a pattern in the above lists?

Why do you think this macabre ritual was practiced EXCLUSIVELY in conflicts involving Muslim forces?

Why didn’t women feel the need to self-immolate when their kingdoms fell to any other adversary?

You can’t be dumb enough to not draw the only possible conclusion here.

Nobody glorifies jauhar, it was not picnic.

We “honor” it. No, not the immolation itself but the debilitating sentiment behind it. With the honor we keep our alive in our collective memory. Know why?

Because the demons that drove our ancestors to such extremities still live and breathe amongst us to this day.

And they haven’t changed one bit.

When someone prefers death to your touch, what even are you?

[Hims 🪷 🚴 🌱 🧘 @maveinlux]

At some point, someone has to respond to this garbage, so allow me @priyankac19 and excuse my French, but what the fuck @ReallySwara ?

Jauhar was not a TED Talk about chastity. It was not a family honour killing. It was not a rape survivor being told to die. It was women looking at a breached fort and an incoming force whose habit, on the record, was to convert the women of a defeated court into harem stock. Kamala Devi of Gujarat did not “move on.” She was taken. Deval Devi was taken later and passed through that court like loot with a pulse. That is the second room in the house you keep deleting so your question can sound holy.

“Does a rape survivor not deserve to live after rape?”

Yes. In 2026. With a phone, a statute, a court, a hospital, a city to run to. Congratulations on discovering the Indian Constitution.

Now explain what that sentence has to do with women who had already lost the state. There was no FIR against Khalji. There was no Delhi to escape to. There was no climax dance where the vice-chancellor gets shamed and the credits roll. The state was the rapist. You are comparing a woman who can still leave the room to women whose room was the last room.

You shouted “chii” at a pregnant belly and decided the film was saying a girl child should not be born because a Muslim king might rape her. That is not analysis. That is you stuffing your column into someone else’s uterus. The shot is a woman who knows the child will not be born into a family. It will be born into inventory. You turned a funeral into a communal talking point and called the funeral the problem.
Then you asked what we are choosing to glorify.

Fine. Let’s use your scale.
You spent a career demanding that cinema stare at female sexuality without flinching. In Veere Di Wedding the country was asked to sit through you with a vibrator while your on-screen husband walked in. You defended it. You said it should shock people into laughter, not disgust. You said women are more than their private parts, in the same breath as the scene that made your private parts the poster. When you put sex on screen, it is agency. When Rajput women refuse to hand their sex to the men who just killed their city, you felt “reduced to a vagina.” That letter was not a theory of personhood. It was a tantrum about which vagina the camera is allowed to serve.

You keep saying the film tells survivors they are cowards for living. No. You are telling dead women they are cowards for refusing a harem. That is the inversion. A survivor who lives today is not a coward. A woman who walked into fire rather than become a concubine of the man who sacked her fort was not a coward either. Both things can be true because they are not the same event. You flattened them on purpose. A flattened event is easier to moralise. It is also a lie.

Nobody is asking modern India to revive jauhar. The film carried a disclaimer. History is allowed to be shown as history. What you want is a rule that the only permitted female death on screen is the kind that flatters your politics, and the only permitted female sex is the kind that flatters your brand.

So here is the actual simple question, since you asked for one:

When the choices are ash or a lifetime as sexual property of the men who just finished the massacre, and some women choose ash; who is the barbarian? The women in the fire, or the commentator in Delhi calling them a bad message for rape statistics?

You don’t get to loot their context, rename their refusal “chastity culture,” and then pose as the only adult in the room who cares whether survivors live. Survivors should live. The women in that scene were trying not to become the next consignment. If that distinction is too fine for you, the problem is not Padmaavat. The problem is that you need history to be a poster.

Someone tell this 20 IQ Moron. Koftas and Kormas are ancient Persian dishes that existed BEFORE Islam.

Mughals were beggars who lived in tents before coming to India.

Vast majority of Chagatai Turks/Mughals used to eat insects and locusts in their native homeland before coming to India.
