This reminds me of a peculiar historical link. James bond is written by Ian Fleming. Ian has an older brother named Peter Fleming. Peter Fleming was the handler of Indian spy Ram Singh Talwar ( Bhagat Ram Talwar ) who is known by the code name Silver. Silver was a Quintuple Spy during world war & an Indian Freedom Fighter. Ian published James Bond ( Casino Royal ) due to his brother's influence.
Ravana is indeed lustful towards Sita. He gives her two months to accept him, threatening to have her killed and cooked for his breakfast if she continues to reject him. He also arrogantly proclaims that Rama is no match for his power and prowess. Sita places a blade of grass between them and makes it clear that there can be no comparison between Rama and Ravana.
She refuses to even regard Ravana as worthy of comparison with Rama, likening Rama to a mighty elephant and Ravana to a hare.
She further tells him that she can reduce him to ashes, but she restrains herself because Rama has given her no such command and she wishes to preserve her austerities.

@jorborgor There is a similar depiction of the event sculpted on the walls of the 909-year-old Chennakeshava Temple, Belur, Karnataka, India. It's a masterpiece that cannot be explained in words
@AgathyanThe5th Mihirakula was a Hindu but he was also the biggest enemy of North Indian Hindus during that time.
He's another central asian chutiya like timur.
Timur killed more muslims than any Hindu or christian king
CM Devendra Fadnavis performed Lakshmi Puja on the occasion of Deepavali.
However, the idol in the picture is not Goddess Lakshmi. It is White Tara, a revered deity in Tibetan Buddhism.
If an adoption or public observance of Dhanvantri Jayanti or Dhana Trayodashi by Hindus is akin to killing Kerala culture, then perhaps we should say the same about the existence of semetic/Abrahamic faiths like Christianity, Islam and Communism in Keralam.
Damn! Guys. I thought itna to common sense se pata chal jata hoga.
UK uses DAQI - 10 in London is synonyms to extremely high something around top i.e 300-400 of India.
Similarly for Canada/US - They all have their own metrices.
I am in no way defending the AQI of India but its ridiculously stupid to compare two different two readings using different system to show superiority.
Being said that, average London AQI is under 50.
I feel that a lot of subtle propaganda against Hindu traditions in India is not pushed by the Muslims but the Christos. Muslims aren't sophisticated in that sense. It has been these convents etc. running a lot of this 'pollution' messaging since decades. C has west as their baap.
This week, I was blessed to join Hindu New Yorkers in Queens celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja, Dashain, and Vijayadashami.
We danced garba, performed aarti, witnessed Sindoor Khela, and honored the Goddess Durga.
It was an honor to come together in joy, faith, and community in temples across our city — especially after the attempted mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois last week.
May we all join together in our shared responsibility to stand against hate and care for one another.
Jai Mata Ki.
