Hindu positive! India positive! Tamil positive! 'India' is a 1000s of years old ideal; Hindus prove pluralistic societies possible

[Kaverison @kaverison]

Yes, I am against religious conversion. As a Hindu, I protect their rights to practice their own, I reserve my right to protect ours. If they preach equality among men, let them practice equality of Gods. I simply reject notion their faith is btr than ours, so no need 2 convert🙏

[APR @amarprasadreddy]

Are you against Conversion?

[Arvinth Easwaran @arvinth_e]

Tamilnadu media is a pile of DK/DMK stooges with separatist mindset.
Back in 2019 then ISRO chief Shri Sivan tutored/slippered Karunanidhi family owned TV anchor that he is first INDIAN and not to confine him into regional politics like Tamilian.
Today in 2023, the same TN media tried their dirty tricks on #CHANDRAYAAN3 Project Director Shri Veeramuthuvel and got tutored/slippered again.

No end to the atrocities against #PakistaniHindus. How does the world respond? By indulging in speculative outrage against neighboring #India instead. All those articles about an " #impendingGenocide" sure deflect attention from the real one underway in the region.

🧵As the world processes the #BreakingNews that upend allegations targeting @bapsrbv @baps Akshardham in NJ, it’s important to assess how we got here.

In an early May morning in 2021, federal & state agencies perpetrated the largest raid on a Hindu temple in US history. Sadhus

#BIGBREAKING: 🧵

Remember the case against @BAPS Hindu temple in 2021 that alleged "caste discrimination"?

#JUSTIN: A dozen artisans claim coercion, promise of US citizenship and large sums of money to testify against BAPS, are withdrawing the case.

Artisans claim coercion, promise of US citizenship and large sums of money to testify against Hindu Org BAPS, NJ. They are withdrawing the case. Likewise California @CalDFEH had to drop the spurious case against 2 Cisco engineers. As more data & evidence emerge about fabricated allegations of “caste discrimination” it is pretty clear that some groups are engaged in an #extortion racket against the #HinduAmerican community. If both BAPS & Cisco cases are dropped as #extortion ploys, why is @aishabbwahab launching another #extortion racket called #SB403?

[Anurag Mairal @mairal]

Not cool, @aishabbwahab! He is a respected elderly Sikh community leader. Such disrespect doesn’t befit an elected official who is supposed to represent one of the most diverse districts in California. :(

Also makes difficult the task of healing after a bruising, divisive bill fight that targeted and created significant trauma for a micro-minority that is considered to a model of citizenship.

The British are hurting real bad after the Chandrayaan 3 moonshot. Almost every other British politician and celebrity is talking about billions in imaginary aid to India without which India would not have achieved anything.

Whatever landmark India achieves - whether it's moving up in the GDP rankings, a new nuclear submarine, Olympic golds or moonshots - the British just can't stand it. The envy runs so deep that (like a stuck record player) they constantly bring up this aid, which is in fact money they hand over to Christian NGOs to do their dirty work in India and to convert Hindus to Christianity.

The aid is thus a way for Britain to gain a semblance of influence in India. For, the truth is, it's one of the most hated countries in India. If you grow up reading even the bowdlerised history they teach in Indian schools, you cannot avoid hating Britain.

The genocide of over 30 million Indians and the colonial loot of $43 trillion are beginning to take the shape of a karmic tsunami that will hit Britain very soon.

[omar ali @omarali50]

This comes up every few months and i hv indian friends tell me that the only "aid" India gets is programs that the BRITS want to keep going, but I have not looked it up.. what is the actual position? what, if any, "aid" does UK still send to India? and why does it insist on doing so? (bcz I am pretty sure India is not asking for it)

[Kaverison @kaverison]

@kcvenugopalmp @isro Lol! India had PMs only till 2014, suddenly runs on its own now!!

I read it again, I get it: ISRO that was meddled by non-scientist PMs till 2014, now "achieves a new milestone" on its own. Now scientists are finally free to think & act on their own! Kudos to Modi ji!

Jai Hind!

Call to Hindu action
By Kalavai Venkat, San Francisco

Every time there is an attack on the Hindus and we discuss it, other well meaning and discerning Hindus remark, "But Hindus do not act. They are apathetic even when they're facing destruction. There is no hope for them."

I agree that the Hindus are mostly apathetic. They are not proactive. Often, not even reactive. They are unorganized. However, I disagree that there is no hope left for them in the future.

Let us go back in time and look at a few examples.

1.) Muslims were rapaciously laying waste to India when Madhava Vidyaranya inspired the founding of the Vijayanagara Empire.

2.) The Mughals were mighty and seemed invincible. But one Shivaji decided not to accept the status quo. In just a few years, he had scripted the fall of the Mughal predators.

3.) Ezhavas had once been a proud martial class. However, their fortunes had dwindled and social status declined over the last few centuries partly due to colonial rule and partly due to inter-caste rivalries. The community could've fallen prey to Christian proselytism. However, Sri Narayana Guru had other ideas. He instilled hope and pride in the community while simultaneously preserving their traditions. In no time, the community generated social and political capital.

4.) Things were bleak when the Punjabi Hindus and Sikhs were fleeing during the Partition riots. Every family had lost its wealth and a few family members, and women had been raped. Yet, as soon as they crossed over to India, they decided to rebuild their lives more prosperously than ever. So, they did.

5.) Every Rajput woman who committed the sati or jauhar could've lived if only she had agreed to be a Muslim predator's concubine. However, she cherished the memories of her valorous menfolk and the pride of her clan. Leaping into the fire was a small price to pay. She would emerge victorious out of the inferno by denying the Muslims the chance to rape her. By embracing the fire, she signaled that she wouldn't submit. Her message was not lost. Time and again, the martial stock of Northern India would ferociously fight the Muslims. It is not a coincidence that Islam, which conquered the Middle East in less than 50 years, took nearly 450 years to conquer India.

6.) A little over a hundred years ago, the Macaulay putras were no different from today's leftists. They worshiped the whites and mocked Hinduism. Rewards were galore to those who came from educated families and embraced Jesus. A Bengali youth named Narendra decided to walk the path not yet trodden. But for him, Christians would've been India's social elites today.

All of these example have one thing in common. A leader or a group of leaders refused to accept the status quo. They refused to surrender their heritage, which they cherished. They knew that their travails were ephemeral. They felt they had an obligation to lay the foundations of the future for the sake of the memory of their ancestors and the well being of their progeny.

We have that obligation too. We could replicate the saga of the great folks mentioned above. The enemies we face today are more cowardly than the enemies our ancestors faced. Victory embraces the one who seeks it.

The QTs/Replies to this from westerners are instructive. If this is their situation when India is the world's fifth-largest economy, how on earth will these guys cope when India zooms higher?

Nah, there is no such thing as an “ecosystem.” To say otherwise is verboten.

[Saurabh Todi @saurabhtodi]

This comes up every now and then but let’s be clear: UK govt does not give any ‘aid’ to Indian govt. Nor does India ask for it. It actually has refused any such aid. Money that flows into India from UK govt is given to NGOs for its own geopolitical interests.

Before the monoseed.

Naturally occurring corn before it was decided that it must be yellow only (yellow/white was allowed).

In 1627, Iceland was raided by Barbary pirates, an event called the “Turkish abductions.”

A book was written by one of the captives, Ólafur Egilsson, describing the dramatic raids and his fascinating journey to Algiers and back. I'll give a brief summary in this thread.

The sun had gone down behind the fort of #Panhalgad on 13 July 1660, and it had begun to drizzle when a team of 600 #Marathas with their leader, #ShivajiRaje, descended quietly on foot. For 4 months, #Shivaji Raje had been confined to the fort, besieged by a #Bijapuri force...
