The final trilogy of the Matrix ends with Devi stuti (The final fight scene has Tamso ma jyotirgamaya as the score). I had tears. While Hinduism is attacked, by predatory religions and the uber-ignorant Indian "seculars", its ideas influence naturally.

I saw in Beijing a massive theatrical performance of a young fighter's journey, replete with Indic ideas of moksha & transformation. Haven't see a single play like that in India, where the "progressive" circuit is stuck on ignorant 19th century European dogmas as "enlightenment."
While Quantum physicists were profoundly influenced by Hindu ideas in their discoveries, Indian "seculars' attack Hindu traditions non-stop as "superstition" (per Christian masters) and these are completely excluded from Indian education.

The very first time I had the usage of “our god” and “their god” was from Christians in the US. My Mormon informant told me she grew up thinking God was Mormon.

I found this idea absurd because in India we grew up thinking that God is one i.e. thee is only one God. 1/n
This issue is actually the biggest divide between the Gods of monotheism and the Gods of pagans.

Gods of monotheism are untranslatable. Jehovah cannot be transformed to Shiva, Allah can only be Allah.

Whereas Gods of native cultures could be mapped to one another. 2/n
You will see in different parts of India there are local deities and they will be called as a form of Vishnu or a form of Shiva and so on. Tribal deities could also be mapped. This allowed for pluralistic mapping and respect for the local without erasure of native traditions.

Netflix bends to Saudi Arabia.

But runs non-stop propaganda and #HinduPhoblic content against Hindus in India. @NetflixIndia must be completely boycotted.

@reedhastings
@NetflixIndia @reedhastings Funny coming from apologists of radical Islam who work to turn India into Saudi.

My point was about how MNCs bend to power. A bit dense for you.

@NetflixIndia @reedhastings What else do Indian "seculars" do but be house slaves of Islamists. Or did I miss your many articles which criticize it? So typical to blame "Saudi" not the Islamic Sharia they follow. That's what apologists do.

If you want to understand why #ChristoIslam destroyed other's scared spots and built on top of them, see this.

This happened across the globe. I've seen it from Istanbul to Peru. Indian seculars spin and lie in denial.
In Istanbul museum you will find list of Churches destroyed or converted to mosques shown proudly. You see the minbar is added to a pre-existing Church.

Thousands of destroyed temples in India. For supremacy of “their god” and destruction of “shirk.”

My photo from Istanbul museum.

So we've started watching all the Star Wars in chronological order in preparation for The Rise of Skywalker. I think we have made a terrible mistake.
Episode One is so much much worse than I remembered. So terribly, crushingly, bone-achingly bad, in every way imaginable.
Fuck me, the race stuff. Each species seems to be a kind of amalgamation of various racial stereotypes. Within seconds of the film opening you're like: Er, that's not OK. And then it gets worse, and worse, and worse.

THREAD:

Divya Dwivedi (@Aloft_Incumbent, a deracinated HINO & Le-Li Hinduphobe) is saying that #Hinduism/Sanatana Hindu Dharma was "invented" in 20th century?
SHe MUST APOLOGIZE.

I am OBC Telugu & a Proud 🕉️ Hindu like my ancestors & I am aware of my ancient 🕉️ heritage.

You're wrong on many levels "deracinated"@Aloft_Incumbent:

POINT 1:

You're spewing hateful-colonial construct also used by Radical Christian missionaries, Hinduphobic Left-DMK to deride us Hindus🕉️ by saying that we don't have any identity, existence before 20th Century.

(2/n)
Tell us @Aloft_Incumbent, What is our religious or dharmic identity before 20th century?

Who were our Kings? like #SriKrishnadevaraya, #Shivaji etc.

Which are our New year festivals?like #GudiPadwa, #Ugadi, #Vaisakhi, #Puthandu, #Vishu etc based on 🕉️ Dharmic calender.

#Uber gaat vandaag naar de beurs. Waarde: $82 miljard. Het idee, het begin, botsingen met de autoriteiten, de val van ceo Kalanick, de tech, de opschudding van de taximarkt, werken voor een app; je leest het allemaal in 📖 ubervooralles.nl. Teaser in dit draadje ⬇️
De tech, zoals toenmalig 'chef algoritme' Daniel Graf me dat op het Amerikaanse hoofdkantoor uittekende op een whiteboard:

En het allereerste prototype van de Uber-app, gebouwd door een Nederlandse appontwikkelaar, @jelleprins:
De eerste botsing met de autoriteiten -- en hoe dat een mal zou worden waarin je alle andere, toekomstige aanvaringen met autoriteiten in kunt gieten, ook die in Nederland:

Okay, I'm about to deep dive into Infinity War.

This is going to be my third viewing of the film.

If you want to avoid spoilers, mute this thread now.
Really good opening with the Asgaardian ship sending a distress call over the Marvel logo.

The first character we hear from is Ebony Maw, who gives a chilling opening speech:
"Hear me and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the great Titan. You may think this is suffering. No. This is salvation. The universal scales tip towards balance because of your sacrifice. Smile, for even in death you have become children of Thanos."

Wow.
