@cleanbowled671 Kind of true, but the brain rotten way left is leading the charge against Hindus, the analogy will be them loading the weapon for the nutjobs.
It is referred to as 'Udata Sahayam', udata=squirrel, sahayam=help. This idiom translates in everyday life to someone small and powerless still choosing to help in their own way, and the recipients appreciation. Lord Rama appreciated the help of squirrels and considered it significant to the larger cause. No help is big or small, it is the intent that counts ๐
The internet is amazing and is showing us that the Ramayan is a million small tales woven together.
I first heard this at a diwali party in Oulu, Finland. My host was a Telugu fellow, who pointed out that the Ramayana stories he heard while growing up were different from the Ramcharitmanas.
I really wish someone would take this clip and remix it in Telugu but in Arun Govil's voice. you know why. :-)
Things that didn't happen ๐ Hyderabad does not ask caste, it is a mix of muslims and hindus that co-existed for centuries, NO ONE CARES. Class sure matters and this is no different than someone glaring at you at a country club you look out of place in and I am not a fan of such gatekeeping.
Have you seen the video where Abdul El-Sayed talked about his Egyptian uncle asking him why he had to go find an Indian bride, and she is muslim too, he wasn't rebelling in the strict sense of the word. I have heard same about white, black, <insert race/religion> moms wanting their kids to marry within their religious/ethnic/similar cohort for probably less sinister reasons than you may want to ascribe.
Disgusting to see this, little children are visit the holiday displays and the utter tone deaf behavior, coming across like bullies every single year. Whatever sympathy people may have had for the cause has long been eroded by these shenanigans.
BREAKING: Masked Islamists are now making their way Rockefeller Christmas Tree and St Patrick's Cathedral.
Many have already been arrested for assaulting police.
There you go, Zionists are Jews, Jews are Zionists! If you question the insanity of a SB403 CA caste bill that was exclusively a Democrat sponsored travesty, or ask why a Hindu celebrating Holi in a college has to say it is casteist, or that Diwali is bigoted, then I am automatically Hindutva or an apologist. And despite repeated asks, no one would clearly define for me who a full-blooded-Hindutva person is, what are the traits, can you see them from far away or do they have to get up close and you can see the horns.
Not to mention when the issue being discussed here is the left's apathy towards Hindu Americans and their false equivalency towards every openly Hindu for being a BJP supporter or Hindutva agent, while simultaneously asking someone how they do not know about a recently sprouted political group in India. Pick a side, staying with American topics or not?
CJP that showed up like a blip and vanished?! CJP that rode the coattails of Sonam Wangchuk, who himself lost faith in them now. Every global Indian expert should have a PhD on these already vanished activists? Youth everywhere have genuine grievances that need to be addressed, CJP is not the beacon of youth hope that everyone claims for them to be, they are just political tool without the symbol.
This is what awakened me as a mom of Hindu-American kids who would be villified just for existing. The goal was to make it so painful to be a Hindu, that these kids had only one choice, apologize for being who they are and erase themselves and conform into the identity left assigns them which includes being a flag bearer for every cause they champion without fail, else they'd be branded a Hindutva agent.
It is hilarious when people try to file cultural habits(more jati and ancestry tied) into caste brackets. The dietery habits among extremely devout Hindus change every few miles, including consumption of meat or lack of it. You will however find high priest saviors making sweeping statements that all high caste people are vegeterian and others are meat eaters. Ignorant and too arrogant to learn!
@MJaadugar He wanted to extend it nationally, by his own admission! And then he asks, where does it show Hindu politicians on left have to throw their own under the bus to be accepted ๐
Entire CA Democratic legislature doesn't count for something on the left? Their collective legislative power and ignorance against a religious minority doesn't add up? Weak arguments ๐ one of the arguments made in support of the bill was endogamous marriages were a sign of caste adherence, my kids who never knew their caste or anyone elses, should start asking their potential partners for their caste lest they be accused? Left's billigerence on promoting the caste problem was akin to a hammer looking for a nail.
๐๐คฃ These dismantle Hindutva tropes were used to table a redundant CA bill, SB403. It directly targeted Hindus in California, with an express goal to take this national. The organizers of this conference and many of their connected actors were the leading sponsors and promoters of this bill. Here are your 'average American leftist', so average that they are all in the CA legislature, and voted for SB403, a bill so stupid that Gov.Newsom vetoed it without a second thought. Pay close attention to the nay section.
And there you have it! You had to show your loyalty by going after Hindus to show your own purity, how you are not like 'them', championing a solution for a non-existent problem, because that is the Aisha Wahab way to national celebrity on the left. Look where that landed her! Cisco case was a bust, national data doesn't even show a blip of caste discrimination to make this a nation wide campaign and yet, look how you need this strawman to gain relevance among your peers. This, my friend is what you are refusing to see and despite mounting proof being presented to you.
@TheEmissaryCo@Noahpinion You got me. I think caste discrimination is bad.
Tell me where caste is already a protected class in the Constitution or subsequent legislation?
For that to be crystal clear, someone has to clearly define both, because every time a Hindu stands up to bigotry they are branded Hindutva. Are you able to define what each stands for, especially interested in what Hindutva stands for and how you describe someone who actively practices it.
