Every word and every action of BJP demands rigorous scrutiny. They excel at misleading the public under the guise of hindutva, while quietly pandering to a diluted version of opposition's appeasement politics and agenda.
Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...
Let us not confuse one time rape, with life time sex slavery that came with daily humiliation and the passing off of women to different men as war loot. The two are entirely different things.
After capturing Hindu women what happened was documented by Ibn Battuta, where he mentioned seeing captured Hindu princesses forced to dance during Eid and given to court nobles as gifts.
To understand the level of degradation of captured Hindu women, one needs to understand a line written by the Islamic invaders themselves :
“Dukhtaran-e-Hindustan
Neelam e do dinar.”
Dukhtaran means women or daughter. In this context, meaning of the statement is ~ ‘The captive women of Hindustan were auctioned for two dinars.’
So many Hindu women were captured that the price sometimes would be even less than one dinar for lifetime sex slavery.
It was to avoid this humiliation, Hindu women would choose to commit Jauhar, when defeat was inevitable.
That was medieval era.
Coming to modern times, just eighty years ago, when the Congress President’s wife, Sucheta Kripalani, was staying in Noakhali (after the ri0ts) with Mohandas Karamchand Gandh she carried a cyanide capsule with her.
Why do you think she carried it? For the same reason women in India committed Jauhar during Islamic invasions.
The recent sex slaves of ISIS (mostly Christians) have said innumerable times in various interviews that they wish they had died before being captured by the ISIS men (second image is of a sex slave of ISIS).
It was a sense of self respect and dignity that made them refuse to be converted and sold naked in open s|ave markets, to live as sex s|aves and getting raped daily by multiple men.
One time rape is a red herring being used to dilute the lifelong horror that the captured Hindu women faced in medieval times.
Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's eyes were gouged out, nails pulled out. Tortured for days.
Aurangzeb asked him to accept Islam. He roared "Not even if you offer your daughter to me".
He was cut into pieces.
That's how Dharma survived. He got title Dharmaveer because he didn't convert to Islam or compromise his principles.
Suara & Arfa would mock it too because if they got same offer they would happily sleep with someone who kill their people.

No fewer than two dozen major wars were fought among the Rajputs with zero Muslim involvement. Not a single episode involved self-immolation of any kind. Not one. Neither Indian, nor foreign accounts record a single instance. Now see this:

Similarly, when the British came, we had a series of gruesome engagements starting with Plassey and Buxar, then going on to the Carnatic Wars, the Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Anglo-Maratha Wars, the Anglo-Gurkha War, the Anglo-Sikh Wars, the Anglo-Burmese Wars, the Anglo-Afghan Wars, and many, many more.
No jauhar.
Now, when someone like that book reviewer condemns “Hindutva” for “glorifying jauhar,” I am fully on their side. I agree it was a morbid ritual that does not belong in a civilized society, thank goodness we no longer do that. But do you see a pattern in the above lists?
Why do you think this macabre ritual was practiced EXCLUSIVELY in conflicts involving Muslim forces?
Why didn’t women feel the need to self-immolate when their kingdoms fell to any other adversary?
You can’t be dumb enough to not draw the only possible conclusion here.
Nobody glorifies jauhar, it was not picnic.
We “honor” it. No, not the immolation itself but the debilitating sentiment behind it. With the honor we keep our alive in our collective memory. Know why?
Because the demons that drove our ancestors to such extremities still live and breathe amongst us to this day.
And they haven’t changed one bit.
When someone prefers death to your touch, what even are you?
At some point, someone has to respond to this garbage, so allow me @priyankac19 and excuse my French, but what the fuck @ReallySwara ?
Jauhar was not a TED Talk about chastity. It was not a family honour killing. It was not a rape survivor being told to die. It was women looking at a breached fort and an incoming force whose habit, on the record, was to convert the women of a defeated court into harem stock. Kamala Devi of Gujarat did not “move on.” She was taken. Deval Devi was taken later and passed through that court like loot with a pulse. That is the second room in the house you keep deleting so your question can sound holy.
“Does a rape survivor not deserve to live after rape?”
Yes. In 2026. With a phone, a statute, a court, a hospital, a city to run to. Congratulations on discovering the Indian Constitution.
Now explain what that sentence has to do with women who had already lost the state. There was no FIR against Khalji. There was no Delhi to escape to. There was no climax dance where the vice-chancellor gets shamed and the credits roll. The state was the rapist. You are comparing a woman who can still leave the room to women whose room was the last room.
You shouted “chii” at a pregnant belly and decided the film was saying a girl child should not be born because a Muslim king might rape her. That is not analysis. That is you stuffing your column into someone else’s uterus. The shot is a woman who knows the child will not be born into a family. It will be born into inventory. You turned a funeral into a communal talking point and called the funeral the problem.
Then you asked what we are choosing to glorify.
Fine. Let’s use your scale.
You spent a career demanding that cinema stare at female sexuality without flinching. In Veere Di Wedding the country was asked to sit through you with a vibrator while your on-screen husband walked in. You defended it. You said it should shock people into laughter, not disgust. You said women are more than their private parts, in the same breath as the scene that made your private parts the poster. When you put sex on screen, it is agency. When Rajput women refuse to hand their sex to the men who just killed their city, you felt “reduced to a vagina.” That letter was not a theory of personhood. It was a tantrum about which vagina the camera is allowed to serve.
You keep saying the film tells survivors they are cowards for living. No. You are telling dead women they are cowards for refusing a harem. That is the inversion. A survivor who lives today is not a coward. A woman who walked into fire rather than become a concubine of the man who sacked her fort was not a coward either. Both things can be true because they are not the same event. You flattened them on purpose. A flattened event is easier to moralise. It is also a lie.
Nobody is asking modern India to revive jauhar. The film carried a disclaimer. History is allowed to be shown as history. What you want is a rule that the only permitted female death on screen is the kind that flatters your politics, and the only permitted female sex is the kind that flatters your brand.
So here is the actual simple question, since you asked for one:
When the choices are ash or a lifetime as sexual property of the men who just finished the massacre, and some women choose ash; who is the barbarian? The women in the fire, or the commentator in Delhi calling them a bad message for rape statistics?
You don’t get to loot their context, rename their refusal “chastity culture,” and then pose as the only adult in the room who cares whether survivors live. Survivors should live. The women in that scene were trying not to become the next consignment. If that distinction is too fine for you, the problem is not Padmaavat. The problem is that you need history to be a poster.
Haramzaada is advocating for a lifelong sexual enslavement over a dignified death, and a mulla mc should the last person giving gyan on female autonomy.
The Nepali Workers of the Trishuli Hydropower Project in which they got stuck in the tunnels are confessing that,
Their Chinese Supervisors Stopped them from Escaping and then ran away themselves!
But instead of this being pushed, fake stories are planted against NRIs in USA..
Dalit teacher beats Brahmin girl so badly she dies in hospital. She even gave her statement before dying. Imagine if the girl was Dalit and the teacher Brahmin the entire state would have been on fire by now.
Amit Shah's nurtured Bhim goons have filled people's minds with so much poison that we have to witness all this.
So it turns out China was building a hydro electric facility by a glacier and all the construction caused a portion of the glacier to collapse, tumble down, and turn into a mudslide that killed like 2,500 Nepalese people.
But all you will hear about in the news is leftists claiming this was because of climate change
She is Dashodri Pandey of Madhya Pradesh. She's crying because her house got drowned in the rain. She has become homeless.
According to the BJP, She is privileged. She is an oppressor. People like Chirag Paswan will get reservations but not this poor lady.
- 200 Brahmin families in Darbhanga, Bihar.
- 21 Rajput families in Firozabad, UP.
All those innocent people became the victim of draconian SC/ST Act in a BJP ruled state.
