The Jews aren’t our enemies!
Neither are Christians, Buddhists
or any other religion..
Our one & only real enemy is the
Wilayat al-Faqih regime in Iran
every single Hezbollah & Hamas
member, & all those toxic religious
organizations. Period.
It’s that fucking simple!

Statement from the Random Association of Movie Aficionados (RAMA)
The Random Association of Movie Aficionados (RAMA) strongly rejects the self-pitying and manipulative statement issued by the Film Critics Guild (FCG) regarding public reaction to certain reviews of the film Dhurandhar.
1. The right to criticise is not a one-way street.
Film critics enjoy the absolute freedom to praise, condemn, or mock any film, its makers, and its audience. The audience, in turn, possesses the exact same right to question, criticise, ridicule, or reject the opinions of film critics. If critics believe they alone are entitled to speak while the public must remain silent and grateful, they are living in an authoritarian fantasy, not a democracy.
2. The FCG’s attempt to paint ordinary movie-goers as orchestrating “coordinated abuse” and “targeted attacks” is a deliberate smear.
What the FCG calls “harassment” and “hate” is, in the overwhelming majority of cases, nothing more than robust, sometimes angry, disagreement expressed on social media by citizens who feel that a section of English-language critics consistently disparages films that celebrate Indian civilisational pride and nationalist sentiment. Labelling millions of film-loving Indians as an abusive mob simply because they dare to push back is a cheap tactic to avoid accountability and to silence dissent against the critics’ own ideological bias.
3. Let us speak plainly: a significant section of India’s established film critics does exhibit a clear and repeated ideological bias against any cinematic expression of Indian nationalism, Hindu civilisational confidence, or pride in the armed forces.
This is not a conspiracy theory; it is an observable pattern visible across years of reviews, articles, and social-media commentary. When films that align with a rooted Indian perspectives are routinely met with scorn, moral lectures, and accusations of “propaganda,” while ideologically opposite films are granted nuance and generosity, the bias is self-evident. The audience has every right to point this out without being accused of “policing opinion.”
4. Nobody is “policing” or “silencing” critics.
No critic has been prevented from publishing a single word. No publication has been forced to delete a review by the audience. What is happening is that the audience is finally making its own voice heard loudly, clearly, and in real time. Critics who spent decades enjoying a near-monopoly over cultural discourse are now discovering that the megaphone is no longer theirs alone. That is not intimidation; that is democracy in action.
5. Film critics are not a sacred priesthood above scrutiny.
They are citizens like the rest of us, earning a living by offering opinions in public. Their reviews are not holy scripture; they are subject to the same standards of fairness, consistency, and intellectual honesty that they demand of filmmakers. If their work reveals ideological prejudice, the public has every right to call it out just as sharply as critics call out what they perceive as “jingoism” or “toxic masculinity” in films they dislike.
The FCG’s statement is less a defence of free speech and more an attempt to shield a privileged clique from the consequences of its own bias. RAMA urges the Film Critics Guild to engage with the substance of the public’s criticism instead of hiding behind victimhood. The audience is not the enemy of criticism; it is the reason criticism exists in the first place.
Jai Hind.

Count yourself lucky that your don’t have these mass murderers as your neighbours. Live in a conflict ridden neighbourhood as ours and you would be more empathetic and less tunnel visioned.
Macaulay wrote to his father in 1836,
'No Hindoo, who has received an English education..remains sincerely attached to his religion... if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolater ... in Bengal thirty years hence...i rejoice the prospect.'
#WATCH | Kozhikode, Kerala: Former Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) regional director KK Muhammed says, "...I had said Muslims should give up 2 more historical places and these are the temples also - Mathura which is the birthplace of Lord Krishna and Gyanvapi which is associated with Lord Shiva. So, these are the two important places which Muslims should hand over to the Hindu community for constructing magnificent Hindu temples. Because these 2 important places are as important for Hindus as Mecca and Medina are for Muslims..."
"Muslims should appreciate the fact that even after giving a separate country Pakistan for the Muslim community, if India is a secular country today, it is only because of Hindu majority. Had it been a Muslim majority country, it would never have been a secular country. So, this fact also Muslims should realise and they should understand it. There should be certain gestures from their side...You should not speak about all these things with communist historians because in the earlier case also it was the communist historians like Irfan Habib and a few JNU people who had complicated the issue. Section of the Muslim community was ready to handover the Ram Janmbhoomi also because I had spoken to many people. So, we should not bring in these communist historians, they would complicate the issue and poison the minds of Muslims. Hindu leadership and Muslim leadership should come to certain terms and conditions. At the same time, what Hindus should do is that beyond these three, they should not go behind every mosque..."
#SharpBySwarajya | They didn’t just conquer temples. They erased civilisations.
Egypt’s gods are museum exhibits now. Greece’s live in poetry. Rome’s survived as planets and weekdays. The Aztec and Inca pantheons exist only in anthropology papers.
Every ancient pagan civilisation—without exception—was either absorbed, converted, or exterminated by monotheism’s 2,000-year expansion.
Every one, except India.

What is so Special about the Sanyam Program in @ArtofLiving?
Why one should Continue the Sanyam Practice for 90 Days? 🌸
Question - Gurudev, why should we continue the Sanyam practice for 90 days? What are the benefits of doing it?
@Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji - You know what it does? It brings beauty, grace, and strength. Yes — beauty, grace, and strength.
Have you seen your faces in the mirror lately? Don’t you look more beautiful? And look at other participants — don’t they look different, as if they just came from a beauty salon? Everyone’s face is glowing! That’s what this practice does — it brings a genuine smile and true happiness from within.
Now, some people may look beautiful outwardly — like those in beauty pageants — but do they have grace? Not always. Grace is something deeper — it’s the positive vibration that radiates from within.
Beauty and grace must be accompanied by strength. If small things upset you and make you run like a chicken, what’s the use of that beauty? True strength means resilience — the ability to take life’s blows and still remain centered.
Where there is Satyam (truth), beauty arises. Where there is Shivam (transcendence), beauty naturally follows.
So Sanyam brings you inner and outer beauty, grace, strength, and the resilience to face life without being shaken. This is your Kaya Sampatti — your physical wealth — the wealth of beauty, grace, strength, and stability that no one can take away.
Take part in Sanyam Program soon using the link below ❤️

Israel has been firmly with India through thick and thin. Asking for cancellation of our diplomatic ties with such a friend based on a conflict which has nothing to do with India, by a CM who has never opened his mouth against China's blatant aggression in Dokhlam and Galwan, is utterly shameful.
Shri Narendra Modiji may face health issue as well pressure from supportive parties in his Mars/Ketu Bhukti. Demands of alliance may bring some pressure & disappointment to him. But he will handle everything maturely and complete his tenure as PM. Chances are high that he may even contest the next Loksabha Election in 2028/29. No way @narendramodi will resign in 2026. If health issue goes out of control he may think of stepping down in 2027. Before that he will bring back POK for sure. @BJP4India
Divine moment at the
