The British Museum, or as we like to call it, Chor Bazaar. Just read the description below of the museum! They manipulate everything related to Sanatana Dharma.
“The three Puri gods
These clay figures of the gods
Jagannatha (right), his brother Balabhadra (left), and their sister Subhadra (centre) may have once been clothed in vibrant fabrics. Their pillar-like bodies, large eyes and stumps for hands suggest their tribal origins in tree worship. They were later adopted as Hindu deities by the eastern Ganga dynasty (1077-1435).”

And look at the headline 🤡
From the vantage point I occupied at @imfnews and saw this @BeefyBotham kind of narratives all the time, I can vouch that silence is precisely how these narratives survive and calcify into received wisdom.
When Botham calls India's financial dominance a "problem," he is not sharing a private opinion over dinner. He is a public figure, a Lord of the British realm, using a platform to delegitimise wealth that a billion people built. Left unanswered, that framing becomes the default. It gets picked up by journalists, cited by administrators, repeated in ICC boardrooms, and eventually shapes policy.
History is not ancient grievance. It is active architecture. The structures colonial extraction built, which include inter alia the wealth hierarchies, the governance frameworks, the assumption of who legitimately holds power in global sport, are still operating. Today.
In the meetings where cricket revenues are discussed. Around the tables where "fair distribution" is defined by people who never once questioned unfair distribution when it ran the other way.
You do not get to extract $45 trillion, reshape global sport in your image, write the rules that kept brown nations subordinate for a century... and then say "let's just talk about wages" the moment the ledger starts correcting itself.
"Move on" is always the instruction of those who benefited from what happened. It is never the instinct of those who paid for it. It is like fire saying move on after burning the house down.
We will absolutely talk about sports wages. And we will talk about them with full context. Because context is not bitterness. Context is accuracy.
You are welcome to find that uncomfortable. That discomfort has a name: accountability.
YES!!!!!!!
This is the BIGGEST SCAM in Canada.
You buy a car. Pay taxes.
Sell a car. The buyer pays taxes.
The loop of taxes collected for the government never stops.
It’s an infinite money glitch so the government can scam more money out of Canadians.
It is a new form of digital colonialism. Foreign accounts use India as rage-bait/validation-bait to farm data & ad-dollars from Indian citizens. Because India has the cheapest mobile data on the planet & 900M+ internet users, the volume of traffic an Indian audience can generate is completely unmatched.
A Western page can post about the GDP of Germany/Japan & it will get standard, predictable engagement from the audience. But if that same page slaps "INDIA" in the headline, especially with a polarizing, provocative comparison, the X algo detects a massive spike.
Anyway, the person who made this post does not understand basic economics. They are comparing a Stock (Market cap) to a Flow (GDP). Comparing Nvidia's market cap to India’s GDP is like comparing the estimated resale value of a tech company's stock to the entire physical food & manufacturing output of a subcontinent.
Nvidia's actual revenue (~$130B+ in FY2025) is a tiny fraction of India's economy. If Nvidia had to actually liquidate & turn its valuation into hard cash tomorrow, its value would collapse instantly.
We have seen this script play out before in economic history: During the Dot-Com boom of 1999, Cisco Systems became the most valuable company on Earth, surpassing the GDPs of entire developed European nations.Once the speculative market corrected, Cisco's stock crashed by ~90% :))
Also, every time global media mentions India, they automatically pull the stock photo of the Taj Mahal. They completely ignore the architectural & civil engineering marvels of the Kailasa Temple/Hampi/Konark.
Sometimes I think if India could impose a "Metric Tax" on global content creators & financial pages, the treasury would be overflowing within a week.
@ShadowIND_IN Well it's India, they have every right to be there. We need more of this everyday, shoot a few qatuas on the way in and out and it's even more pleasant.
Meet Sadiq ali, the pakistani canadian, living in toronto, he's the head of TF-2990, and runs dozens of similar accs, his soul purpose is to spread misinfo and hatred against indians on a massive scale by manipulating twitter algorithm.
EXPOSING HIS ENTIRE SYNDICATE. 🧵
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
The standard narrative taught in global textbooks creates a massive logical blind spot: it confuses the origin of a word with the origin of the science itself. To be absolutely clear on the facts: the linguistic etymology is correct, the word "algebra" undeniably comes from the Arabic al-jabr via al-Khwārizmī’s 9th-century book. But al-Khwārizmī did not invent the mathematics.
~200 yrs before al-Khwārizmī wrote his book in Baghdad, the Indian mathematician Brahmagupta published the Brahmasphuta Siddhanta (The Correct Treatise of Brahma). Brahmagupta’s work was a mathematical revolution. He established the structural rules of algebra that we use today:
- Brahmagupta was the 1st to formalize 0 as a number in eqns, defining rules like A - A = 0 & explaining how zero interacts with (+)ve & (-)ve numbers.
- He introduced the concept of (-)ve numbers, calling (+)ve numbers fortunes (dhana) & (-)ve numbers debts (rina) & laid out the algebraic rules for multiplying them (e.g., a debt times a debt is a fortune).
- He gave the world the 1st explicit algebraic formula to solve quadratic eqns (ax^2 + bx = c).
In the 8th century, the Abbasid Caliphate established the Bayt al-Hikma (House of Wisdom) in Baghdad. They realized that Indian mathematics was centuries ahead of the rest of the world. Around 773 CE, an Indian astronomer & mathematician traveled to Baghdad bringing sanskrit texts, including Brahmagupta’s treatise. The Caliph ordered these texts to be translated into Arabic. This translated work became known in the Arab world as Al-Sindhind (a direct phonetic corruption of the Sanskrit Siddhanta).
Al-Khwārizmī sat in Baghdad with access to Al-Sindhind. He absorbed the Indian decimal system, the use of zero & the algebraic methods of solving eqns. When he wrote his famous book, he was systemizing these Indian methods into a textbook format for an Arabic-speaking audience. In fact, al-Khwārizmī wrote another book explicitly titled Kitāb al-Jamʿ wat-Tafrīq bi-Ḥisāb al-Hind (The Book of Addition & Subtraction According to the Hindu Calculation).
While the Arabic word al-jabr means restoration of broken parts, the ancient Indian Sanskrit word for algebra is far more philosophically & logically profound: Bīja-gaṇita.
Bīja means seed/element.
Gaṇita means calculation.
Indian logicians like Bhāskara II (who later wrote a definitive text titled Bīja-gaṇita) explained that arithmetic deals with visible, known quantities, but algebra deals with the hidden seed, the unknown variable (x). Just as a giant tree is hidden inside a tiny, invisible blueprint within a seed, the final answer of a complex universe is hidden inside the unknown variable of an algebraic eqn.
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia's Mirra Andreeva has defeated Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk at the Roland Garros.
Before the game, Kostyuk openly harassed the Russian athletes. Mirra (19yrs) gave no comment, instead answered with a 6-1 6-3 win.
Keep politics out of sports.
@Megalithic12000 Always appreciate the effort in your posts - possible to add geographical context to the images as well?
It allows the reader to appreciate the context of where the place is built and what purpose it may have served.
