@KirenRijiju What an incredible rock star you are! Nevermind the goofballs who have never set foot in a river, let alone swim in it!

An Ambedkarite account circulating video of two men kicking a Brahmin and apparently this humiliation will regard as “free speech.”

But if any Hindu respond back in the same language, the same people would demand outrage, condemnation and accountability & cry centuries of oppression, injustice, legal actions.

Their double standard exposes one thing that they don't merely want equality; they want moral immunity for their side and moral scrutiny for everyone else.

[Saumya Hemant Mishra @SaumyaHemant]

When the Manusmriti existed, Savitri chose Satyavan against her parents wishes. When the Manusmriti existed, Sita chose Rama through a swayamvara. When the Manusmriti existed, Gargi contributed to the Vedic intellectual tradition while Apala and Ghosha composed hymns in the Rig Veda. When the Manusmriti existed, Bharati, the wife of Mandana Mishra, presided over the famous shastrartha between her husband and Adi Shankaracharya and had the intellectual authority to judge the debate. Shankaracharya himself engaged in debate with Bharati and acknowledged her scholarship.

When the Manusmriti existed, women could learn, debate, compose, govern and fight.

Ahilyabai Holkar became one of India’s most admired rulers. Jijabai raised Shivaji and played a profound role in shaping the man who established Hindavi Swarajya. Rani Lakshmibai learned the art of warfare and fought the British on the battlefield. Women were also known as Brahmavadinis, women devoted to the pursuit and teaching of knowledge.

Kings were not always the sole authority in matters of governance; queens and royal women often participated in affairs of the state. When the Manusmriti existed, women such as Mirabai could choose their spiritual path and figures like Ravidas were revered across social and political hierarchies.

And when the Constitution of India was being framed, 15 women entered the Constituent Assembly without any provision of reservation including women from diverse and historically disadvantaged backgrounds.

India’s history is far more complex than the convenient claim that women had no agency, voice, intellect or power before modern constitutional reforms. Read history in its entirety before rewriting it.

Sad, but true...

The scans of our ancient manuscripts, the widespread availability of the Internet & translation tools & AI, means all of us can access the greatest treasure trove of ancient knowledge ever i.e. the manuscripts of ancient India...

And sadly, so few seem deeply interested...

DAY NINE - ASTON MARTIN HIT & RUN

You probably heard of zero FIR…but have you seen a EMPTY FIR?

In the case of Janasena MP Lingamaneni Ramesh’s son Lingamaneni Sanjush who rammed into 26 year old sales girl Bharati Mukhi in Madhapur, near Inorbit mall with his Aston Martin car killing her instantly….this is the FIR that Madhapur police filed!

Just the name of the accused. Not his surname, not his father’s name, no identity- nothing!!!

Speaks volumes of their motives right??

Also - WHERE IS THE CCTV FOOTAGE??

The CCTV footage vanished like it never existed. Such amazing talent our police have.

Despite what the Telangana police are trying to project, they screwed up real bad!

Empty FIR, missing CCTV footage, watered down Sections….how do you all sleep at night knowing you did this??? You enabled this?

Why is Bharati Mukhi’s death so irrelevant?

[True Indology @TrueIndology]

70% of the freedom fighters executed by the British were Brahmins.

They sacrificed their lives for the country. But what exactly did their sacrifice achieve?

Today their children and grandchildren are discriminated against by the Government. They are labelled as "oppressors" and systematically barred from education and jobs.

Is this how a country should honor those who gave up their lives for her?

அதேசமயம், மாதம் 20,833 ரூபாய்க்கு மேல் ஒரு குடும்பத்தின் வருமானம் இருந்தாலே அக்குடும்பத்துக்கு இலவச எரிவாயு உருளைக்கான தொகையைப் பெற தகுதியில்லை.

Proud of you . We stand firmly with you. You go girl !!!

There is no need for us women to be ashamed. The shame is on those losers who think they can intimidate women in public life by judging them, shaming them, harassing them or worse, making up false stories about them.

[Virudhai Magal Keerthana @Keerthana4VNR]

The fact that a video of a woman simply going about her day can spark political hysteria tells you everything about the fragile, regressive mindset behind it. But I’m not surprised! What else can you expect from followers of a leader with a track record of deeply derogatory remarks against women?

For the record: the woman in that video is not me. But even if it were, why should it matter?

Why are a woman’s clothes, appearance, or joy still treated as matters for public trial?

When they can’t challenge us on our policies, governance, or track record, they resort to manufacturing narratives about personal lives of leaders and their family members. Misogyny is the oldest weapon of those who have nothing substantive to positively contribute.

And, To the woman in the video, dragged into this simply due to a passing resemblance: I’m sorry. You look stunning, and I hope you keep living on your own terms (and loving those highlights! ✨).

“Please wake up daddy, what do I do without you?”

- Father of Harshavardhan

Harshavardhan, a class 8 students of Government school in Shetturu, Kalyandur, Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh died last night after the hostel wall collapsed.

Another student Akshay also was grievously injured in the incident.

Last week when a student in a private school died of heart attack after his teacher punished him, the entire cabinet of Andhra Pradesh was talking about it.

They gave passionate speeches on how schools should function.

But last night’s death of a 8th grade student in government run hostel is not even a topic of discussion because - in this case they are answerable. The responsibility lies with the government.

[Anantha Narayan @ThisIsAnantha]

Chennai should be consulted on any decision that has huge ramifications for its citizens. When the name Madras was changed to Chennai, no one asked its citizens. When the Parandur airport was dropped after so much work, again no one asked its citizens.

Internationally, there's a concept called a referendum. Cities consult their citizens on important issues through this tool. Perhaps Chennai could have held a non-legally binding referendum, posing a simple question: Should Chennai go ahead with the Parandur airport or not?

This would have indicated the city's will. The Chief Minister could have simply implemented the city's will.
