*Why don't Japanese people invite Indians to their homes*
An Indian who had been living in Japan for more than a year noticed something strange: his Japanese friends were polite and helpful, yet none of them ever invited him to their home, not even for a cup of tea.
Confused and hurt, he finally asked one Japanese friend why this was so.
After a long silence, the friend replied, "We are taught Indian history… not for inspiration, but as a warning."
The Indian, astonished, asked, "A warning? Indian history is taught as a warning? Please explain why."
The Japanese friend asked, "How many English ruled India?"
The Indian replied, "Maybe… about 10,000?"
The Japanese person nodded seriously and asked, "At that time, weren’t there over 300 million Indians?"
"So who committed the atrocities on your people? Who followed the orders to whip, torture, and shoot them?"
He asked emphatically, "When General Dyer ordered the firing at Jallianwala Bagh, who pulled the trigger? Was it the English soldiers? No, it was Indians."
"Why didn’t anyone point their rifle at General Dyer, not a single person?" He continued, "The slavery you talk about—this was your real slavery. Not of the body, but of the soul."*
The Indian stood motionless, silent, and ashamed.
The Japanese friend continued, "How many Mughals came from Central Asia? Maybe a few thousand? And yet they ruled you for centuries."
"The Mughals did not rule India through their numbers; it was your own people who bowed to them, obeyed them, betrayed their own, and showed loyalty to the Mughals. Either to survive or for silver coins."
"Your own people converted religions. They gave their sisters and daughters to the Mughals in marriage."
"Your own people betrayed your heroes to the English. Who betrayed Chandrashekhar Azad? Who informed the English about his hiding place in Alfred Park?"
"Bhagat Singh was easily executed without the permission of those people (Gandhi-Nehrus) who called themselves patriots."
"You Indians do not need foreign enemies. Your own people repeatedly betray you for power, position, and personal gain. That is why we keep distance from Indians."
"When the English came to Hong Kong and Singapore, not a single local joined their army. But in India, you did not just join the enemy’s army—you served them. You worshipped them. You killed your own people to please them."
"Even today, you have not changed. You have learned no lessons from history. Even for a little free electricity, a bottle of alcohol, or a blanket—you sell your vote, your conscience, and your voice without thinking."
"You chant slogans, protest, but when the country needs your sacrifice, where are you? Your first loyalty is still to your home, family, wife, children, and wealth. The rest—country and religion—can go to hell."
After saying this, the Japanese left, and the Indian stood there, head bowed, frozen in shame
👆this WhatsApp forward is hurting me so much and I can’t take it out of my mind.
The song Bismil from the movie Haider was filmed at the ruins of Martand Sun Temple, an 8th century temple built by Lalitaditya Muktapida, the ruler of Kashmir, and dedicated to Surya Dev.
The Temple was demolished in 15th century by Sikander Shah Miri. In the movie, the temple ruins were referred to as Shaitan Ki Gufa (Devil's cave).
This was not just misrepresentation but cultural vandalism disguised as art.
“See I had meat during Navratri, here are the pics”
Hey look at me, I am defying tradition in exchange of attention. I am brave, a rebel against my culture (read: parents) I have to reform my religion, but have to defend the wish of others to be regressive. Everybody is beautiful minus my own people. Only issue is I’m dependent on them for my data recharge.
PM @narendramodi means well, and I don’t doubt his sincerity in what he said, that if the Hindus do not unite, they will be destroyed. But the Hindus did unite, to help him come to power. Not once, not twice, but three times. Why are they still getting destroyed?
My views:
Demonstrations against Durga Puja by islamists, continuous attack on hindu people, homes & temples, today again vandalism of durga idols at Gouripur, Mymensingh district; Bangladeshi mullahs are seamlessly doing all this to spread fear & stop biggest durga puja festival in #Bangladesh. So no freedom of religion for Hindu people, right?

In 1857, just rumours around beef led to a mutiny (and subsequent birth of Indian National Congress to stop any further such 'problems'), such was the society. Hindus have become quite liberal and 'civilzed' since then, so I think not much would happen.
Over a 1000 attacks on houses and businesses of Hindus, nearly 2 dozen temples attacked in 2 weeks, and Nobel 'Peace' Laureate, toast of 'enlightened, liberal, progressive' West says people in India are exaggerating the scale of attacks?? BTW this is still not the full picture. https://t.co/jdGTy8OlrI
Dear Hon'ble Members of Parliament. It is better to be a hero who is forgotten than to be a coward who is remembered. Do not be cowards. Do the right thing. Do not amend the Waqf Act. Abrogate it.
Text of my letter to the Waqf Joint Parliamentary Committee:
From: Anand Ranganathan
To: <[email protected]>
Dear Hon'ble Members of Parliament,
Unjust, discriminatory, draconian acts are not amended, they are abrogated. Do not amend the Waqf Act; abrogate it.
World over, disputes over property are settled using existing laws that are community and religion-agnostic. Why should a particular religious community be armed with another set of laws, those that are patently discriminatory towards members of the other community, as a primary instrument of defence or, indeed, offence? Is there a Hindu equivalent of the Waqf Act? Promulgate one in the interest of equality, then. Let those who want continuation of the Waqf Act watch as Hindus lay claim to thousands of mosques and Muslim villages and enjoy the privilege of the disputes being addressed primarily not through the courts but via the clauses and strictures of Hindu equivalent of the Waqf Act.
Amending the Waqf Act is akin to chopping the head of a hydra. This is because, while you might have removed a few discriminatory and draconian clauses from the Act, a vast majority of them remain untouched - Sections 28, 8, 101, 54, to name a few.
I refuse to suggest amendments to the Waqf Act. I demand its abrogation.
The Waqf is a parallel government being run by the State. In its board, it has its own legislature; in its surveyor it has its own executive; and in its tribunal it has its own judiciary. If India is to be saved from becoming an Islamic republic, the Waqf board shouldn’t just be amended, it should be abrogated.
It is better to be a hero who is forgotten than to be a coward who is remembered. Do not be cowards. Do the right thing.
Sincerely,
Anand Ranganathan
Kandahar flight hijackers were all Muslims. They literally disguised themselves with Hindu names Bhola and Shankar to enter the flight.
Bollywood web series is showing them exactly as Hindus Bhola and Shankar, without revealing their original identity. This is to trick viewers into falsely believing that the terrorists were Hindus.
What is the difference then between Bollywood and terrorists? Both are using the same dirty Jihadi tricks!
Hindu devotees have established over 300 langars along the Amarnath Yatra, offering a variety of delectable dishes to all the pilgrims.
Despite this generous hospitality, there are no instances of any Hindu taunting anyone about providing food at the langars/Bhandara.
बैरिस्टर ओवैसी, @asadowaisi मैं आपसे माफ़ी माँगता हूँ। क्षमायाचना 🙏🏽 करता हूँ।
आपके द्वारा भारतीय संविधान की शपथ लेने के दौरान “जय फ़िलिस्तीन” कहने पर लोकसभा के सभापति/प्रोटेम स्पीकर, संसदीय कार्य मंत्री, तमाम कैबिनेट मंत्री, विभिन्न दलों के सांसद और लोकसभा सचिवाल�� के अधिकारियों को कोई समस्या नहीं है, ऐसे में मैं भी अपनी आपत्ति वापस लेता हूँ।
जिनको सबसे पहले दिक़्क़त होनी चाहिए, जो संविधान के रक्षक पदों हैं, वही मौन हैं तो मैं तो एक मामूली नागरिक हूँ।
आप संविधान के जानकार होकर बोल गए, बाकी सब ख़ामोश रहे तो मैं किससे शिकायत करूँ?
सवाल सिर्फ़ ये है कि जय फ़िलिस्तीन कल जय चीन या जय पाकिस्तान बन जाए तो आप लोग सँभाल लेना। आप लोग देश की सबसे बड़ी पंचायत में है। आप लोगों की पहली ज��िम्मेदारी है।
क्योंकि जब एक बार परंपरा हो गई संसद में दूसरे देश की जय बोलने की, तो मामला यहीं नहीं रुकेगा।
ये भी तय हो कि धर्म और राष्ट्र के बीच कभी चुनने का सवाल आ गया तो लोग किसे चुनेंगे।
मुझे कोई संदेह नहीं है। मेरे लिए भारतीय राष्ट्र सबसे ऊपर है। सबसे ऊपर राष्ट्र। न कोई शक, न कोई सवाल।
इस बारे में बाबा साहब ने अपनी थीसिस “थॉट्स ऑन पाकिस्तान” में एक पूरा अध्याय लिखा है कि भारत में ये समस्या आएगी। राष्ट्र बड़ा या धर्म?
दिक़्क़त ये है कि लोग बाबा साहब की फ़ोटो लगाकर और जय भीम बोलकर अपना काम पूरा कर लेते हैं। बाबा साहब का राष्ट्र संबंधी मूल लेखन स्कूली सिलेबस यानी पाठ्यक्रम में होना चाहिए। हर बच्च�� को पढ़ना चाहिए।
पर सरकारें मेरी बात सुनती कहाँ है?
Ayesha Rashan, a 19 yr old Pakistani girl undergone a successful heart transplant surgery in India.
A 7-year-old boy from Bihar is waiting from the 6 years to receive heart surgery.
Only possible in ultra validation seeking society!🤡
1. As the day ends & the dust of election settles,I think,despite the losses,congratulations are in order to the BJP-led NDA for having the numbers to form a government for the 3rd consecutive time.All said & done,what could have been a Panipat was averted with a close shave.
Think about it
Did you see any American journalist rush to an Indian news outlet to write columns against crackdown at American universities?
If this was happening at JNU, our liberals would have rushed to write in New York Times
