This 4,500-year-old terracotta dice from the Indus-Saraswati Civilization is a powerful reminder of India’s living heritage. Dicing is also mentioned as a popular game in Rig and Atharva Vedas (two of the four sacred Vedic scriptures). From symbols and craftsmanship to rituals, yogic practices, and collective memory, numerous elements of ancient Indian civilization continue to thrive in the daily social and religious life of Indian society across regions and communities. Civilizational inheritance is not just about geography or ruins, it is defined by living customs, symbols, rituals, and unbroken cultural consciousness. India is the enduring living continuity of the Indus-Saraswati Civilization. #IndusSaraswatiCivilization #AncientIndianHeritage

This is India's Tucker Carlson, back when Carlson was still in Trump’s corner: a hugely influential voice on the Indian right, closely aligned with the Modi ecosystem, with millions tuning in daily. The content itself isn’t the point because much of it is nonsense and predictable bluster. What’s striking is the shift in tone. The Indian right has long been reliably pro-American and strongly pro-Israel. Yet here he is, openly bashing Trump and, without naming Israel directly, he's defending Iran, a country which has civilizational ties to India. Something is shifting for sure.

Your God Jesus Christ ate with both his hands. He even refused to wash his hands before eating. He said those who clean their hands are hypocrites. Read Bible (Matthew 15:2-15.10). Even today, traditional Indian Christians eat food served on floor with hands, without any concept of table,spoon or plates. When in India, Christians enjoy tolerance of Hindu majority while playing victim card . When they move abroad, it doesn't take a second for them to join white racists and spit on Indians. Why so ungrateful?

RaGa basically doesn’t consider those forces – DMK fanatics, Khalistanis, China – as actors primarily responsible for deaths in his family, which is why he is so comfortable allying with them. He essentially thinks they were “forced to” do those bad things to his family and now he must be a large-hearted man willing to forgive (he has actually said so). But he, being a towering intellectual in company of even more towering intellectuals, must have analysed history. So why were those elements forced to do bad things to his family? Because his own family members erred and ended up creating conditions where his current allies were forced into being bad actors. So, how did his family members err? Rajiv Gandhi erred by thinking like a ‘North Indian’ about the LTTE. Indira Gandhi erred by thinking like a ‘Hindu’ when it came to Khalistanis, and Nehru erred by being ‘patriotic’ when it came to China. So that’s what Rahul Gandhi actually hates – North India, Hinduism, patriotism – as they were reasons that caused death and destruction to the family. Psychoanalysis complete.
