[Aparna @aparnamishrams1]

@heistkid But we have to criticize him, only to bring a change in the thought process of other people plus younger generation, they must understand that this morally wrong .. we need to negate it .. outrage is necessary

[Harsh Goenka @hvgoenka]

Rather long but I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did:

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I lack civic sense.

They can burn streets,
and vandalize a city after a championship game.
I dance at an airport excited about my first foreign trip, and suddenly I am the face of poor civic sense.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I steal jobs.

They move factories across oceans,
shift profits through tax havens.
I study, compete, earn a visa, work 18 hours a day, sometimes multiple jobs and somehow I am the one stealing jobs and scamming the system.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am everywhere.

I build your software,
treat your illness,
teach your children,
drive your taxis,
and open your stores.
The world became a village,
yet my presence remains a problem.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am too loud.

The evening news screams outrage.
The internet echoes with anger day and night.
I celebrate a wedding, a festival, a victory,
and I am told my joy is too loud.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I smell of curry.

The world smells of gunpowder,
of hatred,
of division,
of endless arguments about race and religion.
I carry the fragrance of spices from my grandmother's kitchen,
and somehow that is what offends.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I have no culture.

I come from a civilization that counted the stars
when much of the world was still learning maps.
I speak languages older than nations.
I celebrate hundreds of traditions,
yet I am told I have no culture.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am backward.

I send missions to the Moon.
I build vaccines for millions.
I run companies across continents.
Yet a viral video of one fool becomes evidence against a billion people.

I am an Indian.

I celebrate my favorite actor's success
with flowers, music, and a few glasses of milk.

Others worship influencers who sell outrage, turn every disagreement into a battlefield, and every opinion into a war.
Yet my celebration is the one that makes headlines.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I gather in crowds.

We walk together in processions,
celebrating our faith, our culture, our traditions.

Everyone is welcome.
No shops are looted.
No neighborhoods are burned.
No one is threatened for thinking differently.

We sing.
We dance.
We pray.
And somehow our gathering becomes the problem.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I bring my culture everywhere.

I light a lamp in a foreign land.
I wear a saree in the snow.
I teach my children the language of their grandparents.

Others build walls between neighbors,
argue endlessly over identity,
and forget where they came from.
Yet I am told I should leave my culture behind.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I live in the past.

But my past gave me yoga,
mathematics, philosophy, meditation,
and the idea that the world is one family.

The future keeps borrowing from my past,
while telling me to be embarrassed by it.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I should be ashamed.

Ashamed of my accent.
Ashamed of my food.
Ashamed of my festivals.
Ashamed of my traditions.
Ashamed of existing.

But I am not ashamed.

I am the child of farmers and philosophers,
scientists and saints, workers and dreamers.

*I come from a land that taught the world
that truth can be many-sided,
that all paths deserve respect,
and that the entire world is one family.*

*Yes, we have flaws. Every nation does.*

*But judge me by my actions, not by your stereotypes.*

For I am an Indian.

*And before you tell me what is wrong with me, look honestly at what you have normalized in yourself.*

For I am an Indian.

The world may mock my accent,
question my customs,
laugh at my celebrations,
and judge me through a thousand stereotypes.

*Yet I stand tall. For I belong to a civilization older than empires, a culture richer than prejudice, and a people whose spirit refuses to bend.*

For I am an Indian.

Sharing as received..

Nice different perspective 👌

"If eating goat meat is not wrong, how does eating cow meat become wrong?" questions modern secular writer Shobhaa De!
Shobhaa De is a well-known writer, often celebrated for her opinions. Her argument here is:
*"Meat is meat, whether it’s from a cow, a goat, or any other animal. Then why do Hindus discriminate between animals? Why is killing a goat acceptable but killing a cow considered wrong? Isn’t this hypocrisy and ignorance?"*
Let’s address her logic with these responses:
**Response No. 1:**
Shobhaa De ma’am, you make an interesting point!
But let’s consider this:
Your *father, husband, brother, and son*—aren’t all of them men?
Yet, why do you behave differently with each of them?
For reproduction, you need your husband alone, don’t you?
Can you behave with your father, brother, or son the same way you do with your husband?
If intimacy is reserved only for your husband, wouldn’t it be *hypocrisy* or *ignorance* on your part not to extend it to others?
Relationships such as a father, husband, brother, or son are defined by emotions, respect, and social beliefs, not merely biological identities.
Similarly, the way we regard animals like cows and goats is shaped by cultural, emotional, and spiritual significance, not just their physical existence.
**Response No. 2:**
Here’s another question for you:
You and your family likely consume milk from cows or buffaloes in the form of coffee or tea, right?
But would you prepare coffee using milk from a dog, pig, or monkey?
If, according to your logic, milk is milk regardless of its source, why wouldn’t you do this?
Doesn’t this make your argument invalid and hypocritical?
The issue here isn’t about *meat*. It’s about *beliefs* and *sentiments*.
Just as familial relationships are built on values and trust, the way we treat cows, goats, or other animals reflects our cultural beliefs and emotional attachments.
**Response No. 3:**
A British man once asked Swami Vivekananda, *"Which animal produces the best milk?"*
Swamiji replied, *"Buffalo milk is the best."*
The man then asked, *"But don’t you Indians regard the cow as supreme? Isn’t it the best?"*
Swami Vivekananda smiled and said, *"You’re asking about milk quality, but we consider the cow as our mother, not merely as an animal."*
Likewise, while the cow may seem like just another animal to some, for Hindus, it holds sacred value as a *mother figure*.
**A Final Question for Shobhaa De:**
*"Save the tiger!"—the person advocating for it is seen as a *social servant*.
*"Save the dogs!"—that person is hailed as an *animal lover*.
But *"Save the cow!"—suddenly, that person is labeled a *religious fanatic*. Why?*
The real tragedy is that such criticisms often come from our own people, who fail to respect the values and sentiments embedded in our culture.

-Last month, Australian Prime Minister, while addressing the nation, urged civilians to help conserve fuel.

-Thailand’s PM urged people to work from home amid fears of an energy crisis.

-Sri Lanka declared Wednesdays off as Asian countries tried to conserve fuel.

-The European Commission urged people to work from home, drive less, and fly less.

-Shops, restaurants, and cafés in Egypt were told to close early as part of temporary measures to combat soaring energy prices.

-Philippine President introduced a temporary 4-day work week in government offices due to the ongoing Middle East crisis and its impact.

Many other major countries have taken similar steps, their Public and opposition supported them.

PM @narendramodi urged citizens to reduce fuel consumption and adopt work from home where possible,

But @RahulGandhi and liberals are calling it a sign of a failed economy and compromised PM.🤡

God should never give any country such a clown opposition.🙏🙏

@Imsonali0 Domino's left its quality and management both..I don't know why it happened, but it did...
I miss the old domino's pizza flavour and quality..

[GemsOfINDOLOGY @GemsOfINDOLOGY]

No idol. No sculpted perfection.

Just a stone…
shaped like a womb.

This is Kamakhya.

Not symbolic. Not metaphorical.
Direct.

A civilization that did not hide creation…
but worshipped it.

Blood was not taboo here.
It was शक्ति.

Fertility was not whispered.
It was celebrated.

And then came discomfort.

We began to sanitize.
To cover. To reinterpret.

To make it “acceptable.”

Because somewhere along the way-
we inherited shame that wasn’t originally ours.

But this shrine still stands.

Raw. Unapologetic.
Unfiltered memory of what we once understood.

So ask
-

Was this ever “primitive”…
or are we the ones who became uncomfortable with life itself?

Kumar Vishwas on Dhurandhar:

📌It's understandable if the people of Lyari call it propaganda.
📌It's perfectly okay if Chaudhry Aslam's widow calls it propaganda.
📌But when an Indian calls it propaganda, it reveals whose side you are on.
📌Even if Aditya Dhar has made a propaganda film, who is it against? It's against Pakistan. What's wrong in showing Unknown Gunmen shooting terrorists? If you a citizen of India you should applaud Dhurandhar.
📌Hockey captain was a Hindu, but you Bombay wallahs made him Kabir Khan. Kashmiri Pandits were expelled by Muslims but you showed something else. You portrayed Hindu priests as lascivious and Christian priests as noble.
📌The movie 'Fire' is based on Ismat Chugtai's Lihaaf in which the lesbians are Muslims - Begum Jaan and Rabbu - but you named them Sita and Radha.
📌You Bombay wallahs are attacking Dhurandhar because the film exposes the propaganda you were peddling all these years.

[Meera Vishvakarma @life_of_meera]

जब मीराबाई मेवाड़ के राजसी बंधनों और कष्टों को त्यागकर अंततः वृंदावन पहुँचीं, तो उनकी तीव्र इच्छा थी कि वे वहाँ के परम विद्वान और गौड़ीय संप्रदाय के स्तंभ स्वामी जीव गोस्वामी के दर्शन करें।

मीराबाई ने जब जीव गोस्वामी के आश्रम में दर्शन की अनुमति मांगी, तो स्वामी जी ने अपने शिष्यों के माध्यम से संदेश भिजवाया कि वे आजीवन ब्रह्मचारी हैं और किसी भी स्त्री का मुख नहीं देखते, इसलिए वे उनसे नहीं मिल सकते।

मीराबाई ने यह सुनकर बुरा नहीं माना, बल्कि उनके शिष्यों को एक ऐसा उत्तर दिया जिसने गोस्वामी जी की आँखों से ज्ञान का पर्दा हटा दिया।
मीरा ने कहा...

"मुझे तो ज्ञात था कि वृंदावन में केवल एक ही 'पुरुष' है और वह है नन्दनन्दन श्रीकृष्ण। शेष हम सभी तो उनकी 'गोपियाँ' (प्रकृति/आत्मा) हैं। आज ज्ञात हुआ कि श्री कृष्ण के अतिरिक्त यहाँ कोई और भी स्वयं को पुरुष मानता है।"

यह सुनते ही जीव गोस्वामी का अंतर्मन जाग उठा। उन्हें बोध हुआ कि भक्ति के उच्चतम शिखर पर लिंग का कोई अस्तित्व नहीं है, आत्मा न तो पुरुष है और न ही स्त्री। वे तुरंत नंगे पैर मीराबाई से मिलने दौड़े और उनके चरणों में प्रणाम किया।

यह कहानी 'मधुर्य भाव' या 'गोपी भाव' को दर्शाती है।
शास्त्रों के अनुसार:

पुरुष कौन है?: केवल ईश्वर (परम आत्मा/पुरुषोत्तम) ही एकमात्र कर्ता और भोक्ता हैं।

प्रकृति क्या है?:
हम सभी जीव और यह संपूर्ण जगत 'प्रकृति' है, जिसे भगवान की दासी या 'गोपी' माना गया है।

अहंकार का अंत:
"मैं पुरुष हूँ" यह देह का अहंकार है। जब तक भक्त के मन में स्वयं के कर्ता होने का भाव रहता है, वह पूर्ण भक्ति को प्राप्त नहीं कर पाता।
जय हो श्री ठाकुर जी 🙏

@a_hok_tambh @Trishulwarrior @CountryGulshan @Viglnthindutva @HindutvaDon_ @HPhobiaWatch Aur rahi bat muslim kuch krta to mai krta ya nahi, I didn't thought that much, I saw a random post with such an unacceptable msg, I thought to give my pov...
You're thinking a lot, keep thinking ..

[Aparna @aparnamishrams1]

@shivaMI60421143 @Trishulwarrior @CountryGulshan @Viglnthindutva @HindutvaDon_ @HPhobiaWatch It is just like saying. ' तुम अपना गला लेकर बाहर घूमोगे तो कातिल आकर काट ही देगा न' it means only women is wrong, men can't change themselves and thought process. They can do whatever they want, but we have to follow certain 'boundaries' given by 'Men'

[Aparna @aparnamishrams1]

@shivaMI60421143 @Trishulwarrior @CountryGulshan @Viglnthindutva @HindutvaDon_ @HPhobiaWatch And this thought process , that woman wears something and man becomes uncontrollable, then isn't this is the problem of men that they can't control their body parts and want others to hide themselves under clothes.

[Aparna @aparnamishrams1]

@a_hok_tambh @Trishulwarrior @CountryGulshan @Viglnthindutva @HindutvaDon_ @HPhobiaWatch Don't take things otherwise.
I'm just saying my point and you bring right wing left wing..
Plus, if you don't understand the point , you can't say that things are not logical.
You see things from a men perspective, that's why it's easy to say this is right..

[Aparna @aparnamishrams1]

@ArupKumarDas82 @Trishulwarrior @CountryGulshan @Viglnthindutva @HindutvaDon_ @HPhobiaWatch Why in the world only women gt lectured about sensitive parts ?? Men roam freely half naked or so..
Plz understand,these thoughts have been pushed inside us through Mughals and Britishers..
Indians were always open-minded,u cn see the attire of women in ancient scriptures..

[Aparna @aparnamishrams1]

@ArupKumarDas82 @Trishulwarrior @CountryGulshan @Viglnthindutva @HindutvaDon_ @HPhobiaWatch Problem is with the mindset, not the clothes, better change mindset than telling a woman about 'boundary'!!
Bcz of people like you, women have been inside four walls for decades.. #Stopvictimblaming
