The Samarāṅgaṇasūtradhāra is an old Sanskrit text on Indian architecture attributed to Raja Bhoja Paramara of Malwa. It discusses various Indian architectural styles, including that of Dravida temple architecture.
Every week, you will see a large group of men calling themselves Sikhs desecrate and stamp on Indian flag in US and Canada.
Every month, you will see Pakistan demolish/desecrate one Gurudwara or the other. Many Pre-1947 Gurudwaras are now converted to toilets in Pakistan. Sikh women are regularly abducted and forcibly converted in Pakistan.
But Pakistan flag is never desecrated by them. What explains this?
I'm grateful & honored for this follow back. Thank you @TrueIndology
I'm not always active in X these days, but your knowledge never fails to amaze us.
Shubh #RakshaBandhan to everyone! 🙏❤️
Raksha Bandhan celebrates the beautiful bond of love and protection between a brother and sister, filled with love, blessings and family values..

This is not a soccer stadium. It is a church.
This is not US. This is Chennai, India.
This is an Indian branch of Pentecostal assemblies of God denomination.
Just last year, their US headquarters faced a massive abuse scandal. Around 200 pastors were convicted of raping 500 children. In 2023, their director resigned over sexual abuse and trafficking of minors.
After losing face among US public, they seem to be concentrating their operations in India, which explains the massive foreign funding needed to build this Church. Does India provide safe haven for abusers and pedophiles as they are protected by minority appeasement?
Yes. Not just modesty. Everything is a construct of society. Cleanliness, morality, manners, truthfulness. Everything. Our base instinct is behaving like wild animals and killing each other just like early man. That is our natural animal state. Anything polished is obviously a social construct.
According to this fool @DivijaBhasin, Rakhi is patriarchal because "only sisters tie Rakhi to brothers.".
Someone tell this idiot. Rakhi is tied not just by sisters.
Traditionally, Brahmans tied Rakhi to Kshatriyas. Sons tied Rakhi to mother. Students tied Rakhi to Guru. Wives tied Rakhi to husband.
The ritual was never gendered. It was about protection, devotion, and bond across every relationship imaginable. The "sisters only" version is a colonial-era folk reduction, not the tradition.
Calling a 2000-year-old ritual patriarchal based on a folk reduction is not feminism. It is ignorance with a blue tick.
As far as twitter is concerned, I have three regrets.
1) I should not have joined it in the first place
2) I regret spending any time here and sharing any information: The vile people on this platform never deserved any of my time and information.
3) Ignoring the people who abused me: Every low born scum should have been abused back but I mostly ignored everything.
Absolutely disgusting people here.
We live in an India where:
Birthday of Prophet Muhammad is a national holiday.
Birthday of Jesus Christ is a national Holiday.
Birthday of Gandhi is a national holiday.
But Birthday of Shri Rāma is NOT a national holiday.
The world doesn't revolve around you and your bank. Government banks are very liberal and even birthday of Ali is a holiday.
For corporate employees, Rama Navami is NOT a holiday.
I am still a Hindu Nationalist.
I know more about Hinduism in its manifest aspects than the entire pro reservation brigade put together.
Asking for equal rights is not separatism.
You can call us separatists the day GCs ask for a separate nation.
In 1835:
British recorded 41 lakh students in traditional Indian education systems. These students studied Science, Maths, art, Sanskrit and Urdu.
52% of the students were from communities that are identified as OBC today.
Only 16% were Brahmins.
STOP peddling the myth of 100% Brahmin reservation. That never happened.
Muslims pay less than 1% of taxes in Tamil Nadu.
Tamilnadu gets all its wealth from Hindu taxpayers and Hindu temples.
They use this money to fund WAQF board and Muslims.
Why are Hindu women excluded? This is open apartheid.
The entire SC/ST creamy layer argument rests on a flawed assumption: that a substantial section of SC/ST population is affluent enough to have cornered reservation benefits at the expense of genuinely deserving candidates.
The Bihar Caste Census puts a number to this assumption. Only 1.72% of SCs and 2.53% of STs earn above 50,000 per month. That is the upper bound of what anyone could reasonably call a creamy layer, and I am already stretching the definition generously, since the existing OBC creamy layer threshold of 8 lakh per annum translates to roughly 67K per month, well above 50K.
So the creamy layer within SC/ST, by the most liberal reading of available data, is approximately 2% of their population. This largely follows from Bihar census but caste data from Telangana is also similar.
Now consider what actually follows from that number. If the argument is to exclude all Paswans from reservation because 2% among them have done well, that is precisely the logic used against GCs: denying benefits to an entire group because a section of it is affluent. SC/ST communities will recognise this immediately and they will not accept it.
If the narrower plan is to exclude only the creamy layer individuals rather than the whole caste, you have reduced the reserved pool by 2%. The remaining 98% is still eligible, still reserved, and the replacement queue behind them is deep and immediate. Not one additional seat opens for GC candidates. And at 2% turnover per generation, you are mathematically waiting 50 generations before reservation has run its course through the population. That is not reform. That is a rabbit hole with no exit.
This is why my position is straightforward. Abolish all reservations, including EWS reservation, which is constitutionally dubious on its own terms. Replace it with direct economic assistance to those who genuinely need it, regardless of caste. Target poverty, not identity. That is the only argument that is intellectually honest
The second-order effect argument sounds compelling in theory but falls apart against one simple question: we already have OBC creamy layer. Has it reduced reservations by a single percentage point? Has it generated any political momentum toward abolition? The answer is no. Creamy layer did not reduce OBC reservation. It just shuffled who gets it. That is the entire historical record we have, and it argues against your position, not for it.
Now to the arithmetic, because that is where this argument actually dies.
Take Chamars in UP. Their population is roughly 12%. Even if you accept the most generous assumption that successive generations of the same families have been cornering government jobs through reservation, you are talking about 5% of Indians being in government employment at any point. Apply that to Chamars and you get 0.6% of the population that could plausibly be called beneficiaries. Exclude every single one of them. The remaining Chamar population eligible for reservation is still 11.4%. You have not moved the needle. Ten poor Chamars are standing behind every rich one. No government is going to cut reservation on the argument that some members of a caste have become affluent while the vast majority remain poor.
Take Meenas, who are the loudest example used in this debate. Their pan-Indian population is roughly 0.5% of the total. Exclude every Meena from ST reservation tomorrow. Will the government reduce ST reservation from 7.5% to 7%? Of course not. That is not how this works and everyone knows it.
The best case scenario for creamy layer, assuming honest implementation, honest income certificates, and a tight threshold, which are all enormous assumptions given what we have seen with OBC creamy layer, is this: Dudhlal who retired from a bank job with a crore in pension benefits cannot pass reservation to his son. Instead Mangat Ram, who drives an auto or works as farm labour, gets it for his son. That is a genuine internal equity improvement within SC/ST communities. It is a worthy goal on its own terms. But it does not open one additional seat for General Category. It does not reduce reservation by one percent. It does not build political momentum toward abolition because the reserved population as a whole loses nothing.
Reform as a gateway to further reform only works if the first reform actually shrinks the pie. Creamy layer does not shrink the pie. It redistributes slices within the same communities. The political coalition that defends reservation remains exactly as large and exactly as motivated after creamy layer as before it.
मिलिए इस अव्वल दर्जे के मूर्ख से। इसके पास न तो ज्ञान है, न लॉजिक और न ही बुद्धि। यह मूर्ख कहता है कि SC/ST में क्रीमी लेयर या सब-क्लासिफिकेशन लगाने से 'ओवर-रिप्रेजेंटेड' SC/ST जातियां आरक्षण से बाहर हो जाएंगी। यह तुझे किसने ��ताया?
OBC में तो क्रीमी लेयर है। बता कितनी OBC जातियां OBC से बाहर हुईं? कितनों को तूने OBC से बाहर किया? आज तक एक भी कभी बाहर नहीं हुआ। और यह फालतू ज्ञान मत पेल। हर GC (सामान्य वर्ग) को पता है कि जनरल ओपन होता है। पहले जनरल में सबकी भरपाई होती है, फिर reserved सीटें खुलती हैं। सिर्फ तू ही कॉलेज नहीं गई है, इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि किसी और को कुछ नहीं पता। इसका क्रीमी लेयर या सब-क्लासिफिकेशन से क्या लेना देना? लोगों को ��ुमराह मत कर। बता, यह 40% का आंकड़ा तूने कहां से निकाला? तूने कोई राष्ट्रव्यापी (nationwide) सर्वे publish किया है क्या? किसी एक जगह से मिले छोटे से डेटा के आधार पर ओवर-जनरलाइज मत कर।
तुझको लगता है कि क्रीमी लेयर या सब-क्लासिफिकेशन लगने से SC/ST की पूरी की पूरी जातियां आरक्षण से बाहर हो जाएंगी? मुश्किल से ��नका 2% हिस्सा क्रीमी लेयर में आता है। तुझे लगता है कि तेरे कहने से बाकी 98% लोग खुद बोलेंगे कि हां हम क्रीमी लेयर हैं, हमें आरक्षण से बाहर कर दो? हा हा हा।
इतना ही नहीं। इस मूर्ख को लगता है कि कल को ये 'ओवर-रिप्रेजेंटेड' जातियां इसके साथ मिलकर आरक्षण हटाने के लिए लड़ेंगी। मतलब मायावती, अठावले, प्रकाश आंबेडकर और चिराग पासवान आरक्षण के खिलाफ लड़ने लगेंगे। हा हा हा। बहुत अच्छी है तेरी कल्पना।
दया आत�� है उन लोगों पर जो इस बकलोली को सीरियसली लेते हैं। खुद दस लोगों को इकट्ठा करने की तेरी औकात नहीं है, और चले हैं SC/ST में फूट डालने।
मैं 11 सालों से एट्रोसिटी लिटरेचर को डिबंक कर रहा हूं, SC/ST एक्ट के खिलाफ लिख रहा हूं और सवर्णों के अधिकारों के लिए आवाज उठा रहा हूं। यह सब मैं तब से कर रहा हूं जब तुम जैसे लोग कुरान की तारीफें पढ़ रहे थे। इसलिए अपने इस दो कौड़ी के सर्टिफिकेट को अपने पास रख और औकात में रह। Take your Gyaan certification and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
