To begin with, Hindutva excluded 20% of our population by equating nationhood with one religion. Now it is seeking to exclude over 50% by equating nationhood with language. As someone said recently, this just a trailer; the movie is yet to begin.
Ultimately, the mechanism of exclusion is intended to lead to the creation of a rigid social hierarchy, with power permanently in the hands of a few who 'deserve' to wield it because of 'merit' that has been bestowed on them by virtue of 'birth'.
When we get to this Golden Age, you can be reasonably sure that somewhere between 90 and 95 per cent would have been excluded under one pretext or another - caste, gender, eating habits...

Happy Onam to all!
This is a good time to remember the Onappattu that will be reverberating around Kerala now - the song that kindles memories of how things used to be when Maaveli was King, before he was unjustly sent to the Netherworld through trickery.
“When Maaveli was ruling the land, all humans were equal”. Then the rest of the stanza: “They lived happily and there was no danger to anyone.”“There were no worries and no diseases. Evil people were nowhere to be seen."
"There were none around other than people of goodness. There were no lies, and no cheating and no false promises. There were no false measures or crooked weights and no other falsities either.”

This @EconomicTimes story, as usual, is bunkum. You only need to read the scientific paper to see that this story directly contradicts what the study says in plain words.
economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-…
@EconomicTimes A direct quote from the paper: “However, a natural route for Indo-European languages to have spread into South Asia is from Eastern Europe via Central Asia in the first half of the 2nd millennium BCE, a chain of transmission that did occur as has been documented in detail..."
@EconomicTimes Another one: “The fact the Steppe pastoralist ancestry in South Asia matches that in Bronze Age Eastern Europe (but not Western Europe) provides additional evidence for this theory, as it elegantly explains the shared distinctive features of Balto-Slavic & Indo-Iranian languages”

Today is a big day. Two long-awaited genetic studies have been published now – the updated version of the widely-read ‘The Genomic Formation of South and Central Asia’ is out in Science, and the first study of a genome from a Harappan site, Rakhigarhi, is out in Cell.
Both support earlier findings about the formation of Indian population and who the Harappans were with even more robust evidence than earlier.
But first, the Harappan genome study published in Cell, with the headline: “An Ancient Harappan Genome Lacks Ancestry from Steppe pastoralists or Iranian Farmers.”

... sometimes solving one problem begets another. #Igbo culture most laudably seems to be pushed by those in diaspora, as seen on the social media. However, 90% of what is shown is mainly #masquerading and #dances. Very beautiful. Moreover, there is need to emphasis other aspects
Like marriage, farming, food, poetry, arts & crafts, industry, commerce, architecture etc. There has been a great awakening; most nostalgia and sometimes, a relapse because one can't compete with global trends. Idolatry is on the increase pitched unto 'say' Omenala, our #culture.
African Traditional #Religion (ATR) especially as practiced by ndi Igbo was just a tip of the iceberg about their culture. It was the culture of a typical Igbo person not to go hungry, as such manliness, was measured by the number of yam tubers one had in his barn and other #farm

Alright folks, a little primer on Hindutva or the Hindu Right Wing, to which presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard has ties. This is meant for Americans without much, if any, prior knowledge of India. #Hindutva #TulsiGabbard THREAD
Hindutva & Hinduism are two separate things, in two separate categories. Hinduism is a religion. Hindutva is a political ideology. They are as far apart as Christianity vs. white supremacy. I've no beef with Hinduism. But basic justice & equality are incompatible with Hindutva.
What is Hindutva? In brief, it is the notion that India ought to be land for Hindus, by Hindus. It condemns other Indians to being second-class citizens and accepting increasing Hindutva-fueled violence against minorities in the form of lynchings, morality enforcing mobs, etc.

Today is the Punya Thithi of Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose, one of the great Indian scientists of the modern era. One who came up with the concept of radio much before Marconi did. A true polymath, and a selfless genius who gave his all for India.
To call J.C.Bose just a scientist, would however be akin to calling, Leonardo Da Vinci a mere painter, this man was a true polymath, whose genius transcended boundaries.
. What do you say of a man who was a physicist, biologist, and has been named by IEEE as one of the fathers of radio science. A man who was not just a scientist, who discovered that plants too could have feelings, but also wrote science fiction in Bengali.
