From “Aham Brahmasmi” to “Amhi Cockroach” the sad deterioration of Indian culture.
India has a painting tradition spanning over 2,000 years.
We have paintings of gods and goddesses,
Buddhas and Taras, epics, myths, battles, courtly life and entire worlds of imagination.
But surprisingly, you rarely find a portrait of a person simply being portrayed as themselves.
The artist was far more interested in depicting the divine, the symbolic and the story than in saying:
“This is him. Remember his face - even if he is a king.”
One of the earliest surviving painted portraits in Indian art is found in the inner ambulatory of the Brihadisvara Temple at Thanjavur.
It depicts Rajaraja Chola I with his guru, Karuvurar.
And there is something wonderfully awkward about it.
The king is not standing alone, dramatically presenting himself to posterity.
He is shown with his guru, almost as if the painting is saying:
“Yes, I am the king… but let me first establish who my guru is.” 😄
Fast forward a thousand years, and we have gone from a civilisation where even kings and queens were rarely portrayed as individual subjects to an endless stream of self portraits, selfies, mirror shots, crying videos and content.

We will not allow Bharat to become Epstein Island or Afghanistan.
Our minor daughters are not experimentation items of a sex-lab.
Naman to @swati_gs ji for leading by example.
Support @sewanyaya if it matters.
No one but us has stakes in protection of our daughters.
@SamDalrymple123 Kings/warriors/saints are to be buried (samadhi) according to Hindu customs. In some lineage they preferred jal samadhi but you ll still find a samadhi sathal.

@Malang00000@manmarziiyaan They are not gods, they are meant to show the weakness of humans and society. However, when you read the book it makes little more sense because of details that are not there in any movie/series ! Mahabhart is meant to be read as history of Bharat (till beginning of kalyug)
@anulall@esamskritiindia Only hindus were targetted by pulling them out of the bus! Why do selective outrage? Why not for once speak the truth? Because they are a small vote bank for bjp ?
@Victoryvox Christian persecution? We literally have brainwashed zombie missionaries crawling to convert people in each and every nook and cranny of this country! There are christian states in the North East and a christian CM in the south! Stop your fraud propoganda
@kartik_chau And Our children don't owe us for basic parental duty ! There are children who grew up in abject poverty so paise na bhi ho baccha pal jayega but a safe nurturing loving environ is important for a child !
@kartik_chau Firstly this case has nothing to do with me so don't address it to me 🙏 ! And Read again what i wrote ! Both parents are important for a child ! Spending money on our own child is first and foremost a parental responsibility ! That's a familial obligation by society and law
@kartik_chau@radhika_sadhvip Ek insaan ki parvarish mai kewal "finance " hi zaruri nhi hote! Both mother and father are equally important, though a mother plays a more important role in nurturing and guiding .
