One day , while I was traveling by train, a beggar approached me and said...

"Give something in the name of Allah, *Baba*." I looked up at him with an impassive expression and said... "I don't believe in Allah, so why should I give anything?" He glared at me... and then...

I made him an offer: "If you beg in the name of 'Lord Ram,' I will give you 10 rupees." At this, he stared at me in surprise, and the people around us in the train began watching us with curiosity.

Then, making my offer even more tempting, I said that if he begged in the name of Lord Ram, I would give him "50 rupees." However, the beggar refused to agree to this and walked away, muttering under his breath.

Sensing his dogmatism, I simply went back to reading my newspaper. But this incident taught me a lesson: even a beggar who has nothing to eat and survives by begging does not compromise his religion for the sake of money.

So, are those who call themselves Hindus... even worse off than a beggar? ...

Are they always ready to betray their faith and turn 'secular' out of greed for personal gain (money or position)? It is certainly something to think about... 🧐🧐🙏🏻

In 1965 Malaysia kicked Singapore out of the Malaysian federation, and Tunku Abdul Rahman thought he had won. He had dumped a port city with no oil, no farmland, no fresh water, and two and a half million people crammed onto an island smaller than Lake Tahoe. Sixty years later Singapore's GDP per capita runs past $84,000 while Malaysia limps along under $12,000. The man who got expelled built the richest patch of dirt in Asia. The man who did the expelling built the New Economic Policy.

Let's study what happened.

Start with what Singapore lacked. No resources. No hinterland. No domestic market worth the name. By every theory that says a nation needs raw materials to prosper, Singapore should have starved. Instead Lee Kuan Yew made his country a place where capital felt safe. Low tariffs. Easy entry for foreign firms. Courts that enforced contracts instead of shaking down the parties. Corporate tax dropped to 17 percent, personal rates capped at 22, no tax on most capital gains. Money flowed in because money is not stupid.

Malaysia chose the opposite. The New Economic Policy was racial central planning dressed up as fairness. Bumiputera quotas demanded that ethnic Malays hold 30 percent of corporate equity, that government contracts favor Malay-owned firms, that universities admit by race rather than ability. The state picked winners by bloodline. Predictably, the productive Chinese and Indian minorities took their capital and brains elsewhere, much of it to (where else) Singapore. You distort prices and incentives long enough, the talented people leave. They always leave.

Lee Kuan Yew was not perfect. The man jailed opponents, sued journalists into poverty, and ran a soft authoritarian state with a fondness for caning. He banned chewing gum, which is the kind of thing a control freak does when he runs out of real problems. Singapore is no libertarian paradise. The government owns Temasek and GIC, sovereign wealth funds sitting on close to a trillion dollars combined, and public housing covers 80 percent of the population. Plenty there for a free market thinker to dislike.

But here is the lesson Malaysia missed. Lee understood the difference between an interventionist government and a parasitic one. Singapore's state stayed mostly out of the price system. It kept inflation low, the currency credible, the bureaucracy clean, and trade open. Transparency International ranks it the fifth least corrupt country on earth. Malaysia sits at 57th, with a former prime minister, Najib Razak, currently serving time for looting 1MDB to the tune of billions. One country treated public office as a trust. The other treated it as a buffet.

Capital responds to incentives, not slogans. When Singapore guaranteed property rights and kept the rules predictable, Exxon and Shell built refineries, banks set up regional headquarters, and the port became the busiest transshipment hub in the world. When Malaysia told investors that race would override merit and that the rules could change whenever a minister felt like it, the smart money discounted everything by a risk premium. Over fifty years that premium compounds into a $70,000 gap in living standards.

Here we go.

The 2020 COVID Plandemic, with an engineered virus developed by our own Government, via Fauci and his corrupt crew.

And the the massive cover-up/censorship campaign they launched to try to avoid accountability for what they did, as they furiously tried to hide both the gain of function research and the fact they were using taxpayer's money for it.

Note she's releasing the COVID Plandemic Cover-up Report **before** she releases the 2020 Election Theft Report.

There's a reason the COVID Report must come first.

Because these ghouls took advantage of the COVID Plandemic to massively expand remote voter registration/mail-in vote fraud.

They MADE the Plandemic a key part of their election theft strategy.

Tulsi has to show you just how BAD their Plandemic cover-up was before she shows you how they UTILIZED the WORLDWIDE CATASTROPHE they helped cause with their virus to GET RID OF TRUMP by stealing the 2020 election from him.

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

One of the craziest things about the UK rape gang scandal is that it's largely considered a 'right wing' concern.

In a sane, serious country, it would be completely bipartisan. In fact, it wouldn't even be seen as a political issue, but one of basic justice and morality.

[Sann @san_x_m]

Most Indians believe that the person they name as nominee on their bank account will get that money when they die. That belief is wrong, and it has torn families apart.

Here is what the law actually says.

Under Indian law, a nominee is not the owner of your money. A nominee is only a trustee. That means the bank will hand the balance to the nominee after your death, but the nominee is legally required to pass it on to your legal heirs, the people entitled to inherit under succession law. Receiving the money and owning the money are two different things.

This is not a small technical point. It is settled law. The Supreme Court laid it down decades ago and reaffirmed it firmly in a judgment in 2023.

A nomination, the court said, is simply a convenience. It gives the bank a single safe person to release the funds to, so the bank is not caught between fighting relatives. It was never meant to decide who finally owns the money.

The same rule applies almost everywhere. Bank accounts, fixed deposits, shares, mutual funds and provident fund. In all of them, the nominee holds the money in trust for the legal heirs.

There is one real exception. In life insurance, the law allows certain close family nominees, a spouse, parents or children, to keep the proceeds, though even here the High Courts have not fully agreed.

There is one more thing you must know because false claims about it are spreading online. In November 2025, the rules changed to let you name up to four nominees on a bank account instead of one.

Many social media posts claimed this finally lets you pass your money directly to whoever you choose. That is not true. You can now name four nominees instead of one, but all of them still receive the money as trustees for your legal heirs. The doctrine did not change. Only the number did.

So what actually protects your family? One thing above all, a valid Will. A Will overrides a nomination. If you want a specific person to truly own what you leave behind, name them in a properly made Will, not just on a nomination form.

Nomination decides who collects your money. A Will decides who keeps it. Most families learn the difference at the worst possible time.

People need to remember that X is beholden to the laws of the countries in which it operates. If the US, by law, mandates biometric ID verification of every user, they legally are obligated to comply. They will do everything they can to prevent this, but they will ultimately comply. This is why it is so important that it never gets to that stage. It has to be stopped on the legal level.

Every calculation you have ever done uses a system India invented.

Before Indian mathematicians gave the world zero and the decimal place, Greek and Roman maths used letters for numbers. Try multiplying MXLVII by CCXCIV. Merchants, architects and astronomers across the ancient world were trapped.

Baghdad's Al-Khwarizmi (c.780–847) transmitted it west. His book on the Indian place system and algorithmic calculation laid the foundation of modern mathematics. The word "algorithm" is a corruption of his name. "Algebra" comes from his treatise title. Both are Arabic transmissions of Indian originals.

Abraham Seidenberg's History of Mathematics credits India's Sulba Sutras as the inspiration for all mathematics of the ancient world.

Lin Yutang, Chinese philosopher: "India was China's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics."

Carl Sagan thought Vedic cosmology the only ancient system whose timescales correspond to modern scientific cosmology.

Every time a computer runs, it counts in a system India designed.

The Rape Gang Inquiry Report.

https://t.co/EuKgGWBRhS

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

The UK rape gang inquiry report just dropped and it should make your blood boil:

1. At least 250,000 young White girls were groomed, raped, trafficked, and tortured.

2. Perpetrators followed consistent tactics of befriending vulnerable girls as young as 11 with gifts, drugs, and alcohol before subjecting them to group rapes, violence, blackmail, pregnancies, forced conversions, and trafficking.

3. UK institutions—including police, social services, schools, NHS, and politicians—catastrophically failed victims through denial, ignored reports, criminalization of victims, destruction of evidence, and prioritization of political correctness and fears of “racism” accusations over child protection.

4. 87–95% of convicted perpetrators in group-based child sexual exploitation cases were Muslim. It was predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs. They operated across 149 local authority districts. Groups from Somali,
Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, and other Muslim origins were also involved.

5. The Muslim perpetrators operated under an honour- and
shame-based clan code that treated non-Muslim girls, especially White working class girls, as property available for sexual use. Girls were told that they’re “White trash” who deserved punishment.

People need to go to prison for this.

[Maria Wirth @mariawirth1]

“Why Hindu Dharma is under attack by Muslims, Christians and the Left” has now also been published in Hindi by Suruchi Prakashan. Please share this with your friends who prefer to read Hindi. I paste here part of the introduction, to give you an idea about the book:

"The world has changed significantly within the last few years. Many of these changes are very concerning, especially the casual talk by some politicians about the possibility of a nuclear war, and the dangers of artificial intelligence, which will not only render many jobless and possibly directly influence our thoughts, but may even go out of human control. Further, the big economic downturn in many countries and the increasing censorship of speech. It seems as if the world is moving towards a China-type controlled one-world society.

In this scenario, social media is both a boon and a bane. It is a bane, when it keeps our attention, addictively, on scrolling for ever more information or entertainment, without giving us a break to be present in the here and now—the most important place and time of our life. And our phones may even lure us into debasing our life with violent computer games or pornography.

Yet, on the other hand, social media has also contributed greatly to waking people up to what is happening. ‘Deep State’ has become a household word. Mainstream media has lost the trust of many. Even science, academia, and medicine have come under scrutiny and do not look so good and innocent any longer. Too many claims, ridiculed by the media as ‘conspiracy theories’, have unfortunately been confirmed as true.

There is another, very positive aspect which gets traction, and that too, is thanks to social media platforms—more and more people are searching for the Truth—not merely questioning facts that are presented by the media, but searching for the big, transcendental Truth about God and themselves.
Many Westerners are going back to Christianity and declaring their faith in Jesus. Even a decade ago, it would have been inconceivable that Tucker Carlson, a big American influencer, would ask Russell Brand, a big British influencer, on stage to lead an audience of ten thousand in prayers.

I consider it a good development for Westerners. The erosion of belief in a Supreme Power was obviously planned—starting in Russia and China with communism and taking root in the West with the Hippie movement of the 1960s.

Now, there is a pushback against the agenda which wants us to identify only with the body, and focus only on sensual enjoyment, never mind how low that enjoyment may be. The Zeitgeist is changing, even though the elite still try to convince us that ‘It is ridiculous to believe in a God or a soul’ (a recent quote by the celebrated historian and author, Yuval Noah Harari who is a regular at the World Economic Forum).

Yet, I wish that people all over the world would know about Bharat’s Eternal Wisdom, called Sanatana Dharma. Or rather, I wish they would know what this Eternal Wisdom is really about and not be influenced by false, mischievous claims by those who don’t want this Wisdom to be known.
The reason: Sanatana Dharma is closer to the Truth than Abrahamic religions.

Devotion to God or Jesus or Allah is definitely helpful in life. But doubts may arise from time to time, because those religions are all about ‘belief in a story’ that happened several hundred years ago. It is all about ‘thinking’ and not about ‘who or what enables thinking’.

Since ancient times, India was the ‘Land of Wisdom’. Vedic wisdom is not based on belief in a story. It gives knowledge about the Absolute Truth and asks us to verify it by experiencing it within ourselves—true Self-Realisation.

The most important knowledge is: We are not small persons in a big world, but are one with Brahman. And Brahman, though indescribable, is best described as limitless, blissful Consciousness, out of which, this world and everything in it, ‘appears’. It means, the world and our small, individual selves are not solid. They are more like Virtual Reality, or in Indian terminology, Maya. What is ‘solid’ and really true is only our essence or self—Pure Consciousness.

When I heard this for the first time back in April 1980, at the Kumbh Mela in Haridwar—it immediately made sense to me. For the first time, I got convincing answers to questions that had troubled me since my teens.
Questions like:
– What is most important in life?
– Is there a God?
– Is death the end of me?

These questions were now replaced with the most important question:
– Who am I really?
Yet, this question cannot be answered with words. It needs to be ‘known’ within. The goal of our life is to realise the truth of who we are."...

A cartoon being circulated on X says Indians should thank the British because James Prinsep deciphered the Brahmi script & helped recover our history. :))

Do you know before he became a so-called expert on our ancient scripts, Prinsep’s primary day job was serving as the Assay Master (chief metallurgist & currency controller) at the Banaras & Calcutta Mints. He was not an academic; he was an economic agent sent to fundamentally alter India's wealth distribution system.

Until the 1830s, India had a beautifully diverse, highly resilient decentralized currency system. Local kingdoms, merchant guilds & regional mints issued their own silver and gold coins. Local money-changers (Shroffs) evaluated coins based on pure metal weight. James Prinsep was the literal architect who destroyed this system.

Using his position as Assay Master, Prinsep spent yrs systematically studying the purity of native Indian coins. He did not do this out of cultural curiosity, he did it to calculate how the East India Company could completely monopolize India's money supply.

His efforts directly culminated in the Coinage Act of 1835: The Elimination of Indian Heritage: Prinsep spearheaded the policy that completely banned all local Indian regional coins & traditional designs. He personally oversaw the design of the new, uniform colonial Silver Rupee. He forced the removal of traditional Indian symbols, replacing them with the cold, imperial face of British King William IV.

What makes this a financial "thug" operation is how the transition was enforced on ordinary Indians. By passing laws that declared traditional regional currencies invalid for tax payments, the British forced Indian merchants, farmers & citizens to bring their centuries-old ancestral coins to Prinsep's mints. Under Prinsep's direct technical supervision, the British mints engaged in massive institutional exploitation:

- They took the pure, high-quality silver coins of Indian states.
- They melted them down in giant cauldrons.
- They charged the native Indians a heavy seigniorage (a minting fee/tax) just to exchange their own ancestral silver for the new British currency.

This artificial bottleneck triggered a massive shortage of circulating cash in rural India, causing local economies to crash while systematically vacuuming pure silver out of Indian hands & placing it directly under East India Company control. It was 1 of the largest state-sanctioned currency manipulation schemes in world history.

But what is often sold to us is the idea that Prinsep was a polymath who single-handedly deciphered our ancient scripts. Ask the same people who Rathnapala was & you are likely to be met with complete silence. :(

[Bharath Gopu 🇮🇳 @bgopu1973]

The Indus Water Treaty, signed in Karachi by Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistani president Ayub Khan on 19 September 1960, allowed only 19.71% of the total discharge of the Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Satluj to India and gifted 80.29% to Pakistan. Not only this, for the 10-years transition period (1960-70), India had to give the water from Ravi, Beas and Satluj to canals in West Pakistan's eastern part until Pakistan developed a canal system to carry the waters of the western rivers Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab. And for building that canal system, India had to give FOREIGN EXCHANGE EQUIVALENT OF 125 METRIC TONS OF GOLD. In 1965, India was forced into a war against Pakistan but continued to give it waters from the eastern rivers Ravi, Beas, and Satluj, and, more shockingly, also forex equivalent of 12.5 metric tons of gold every year until 1970. Nothing in the world comes anywhere close to this great generosity and magnanimity by an upper riparian nation for to a lower riparian one.
