@MilanV Why is that the chosen criteria "social connections outside the household," vs e.g. bonds within the family, or raising of children?
@MilanV So funny. Indian society is "highly patriarchal"? By what criteria? In my experience of living in the West and India for 20+ years each, the US is far more patriarchal?

They just transpose racism and civilizing mission to new terms. 🙄

@MilanV Visiting a family planning clinic and using "modern contraception" is desirable. Why?

Ford Foundation first funded sex-determination tests in India in the 1970s and promoted sex-selective abortion. This "modern family planning" was later demonized and blamed on native culture.
@MilanV These papers, and others like this, should be called "Curse of the Civilizational Mission and Its Clueless Sepoys."

There is not a single major Hindu institution which is systematically studying comparative religion, or evangelical strategies.

There are hundreds of Christian and Islamic institutions like that, which have State support.

The one major Hindu country has an anti-Hindu State.
The meme of "secularism", which in India stands for promoting world-dominant #ChristoIslam under the garb of "minority rights" has been used to turn the State completely anti-Hindu.

Far from creating institutional support for Hindu civilization, the State is setup against it.
So, as evangelical religions attack Hinduism with hundreds of billions of dollars of funding, the Indian State ALSO funds them via "minority" schemes. At the same time it systematically robs Hindu temples, prevents Hindu education.

Reading book "Who are the Jews of India." It says Aristotle proposed that Jews descended from Indian Brahmins, which would add another twist to the "Hindu-Yehudi" conspiracy theories as well as the current day demonization of Brahmins, much like anti-Semitism.
But it is fascinating that Brahmins were translated to "philosopher" in Greek. It is only after Christianity that it starts to get translated as "priest."

Christianity saw "religion" wherever it went, since it believed "God gave religion to all people, which Satan corrupted."
Account by Benjamin of Tudela,12th c CE, describing Quilon in Kerala, India.

He says even foreign travellers could leave their goods lying around without fear of theft.

Indians get described later as "immoral and corrupt" during the British colonizers' civilizing mission.

Not only do Islamic texts condone rape of "unbeliever" women, this is *exactly* how Muslims like those in #ISIS understood it.

But this is not unique to #ISIS. Right here on SM/Twitter check #HSlut4Muslim #hslut4mstud tags —this is rape culture, live.

nytimes.com/2015/08/14/wor…
The language used by Islamic rapists of Yezidis, and their belief that Islam authorized it, is exactly the language used by Islamic grooming gangs in the UK, of Pakistani origin, and is the same justification given by Muslims rapists in India.

Victim of Muslim grooming gangs in UK says perpetrators told her:

1. Non-hjiabi, non-Muslim women are sluts for not covering up.

2. Rape of "non-believing" women is lawful and pleasing to their god.

How do you explain the consistency of this belief?

Today, I will try my hand at live tweeting insights from "A #Home of One's Own", a two-day #researchworkshop on socially & economically #marginalised women's experiences of and negotiations with #genderinequalities in #informalurbanhousing in India.
This workshop has been organised by #JadavpurUniversity (School of Women's Studies), #RabindraBharathiUniversity (Centre for Women's Studies) and #Parichiti, a women's organisation. All three are research partners on a #GCRF project funded by @GoldsmithsUoL.
Since Oct 2018, I have collaborated with Dr. Henrike Donner, who is leading it, to develop #researchcollaborations with #educational and #development organisations in India to implement a pilot study on #genderurbanhousing. This workshop marks the end of the first phase.

THREAD: Ezekiel’s temple, John 19-21, and lots of numbers (153 included).

SPOILER: Not for the faint-hearted. Over 100 posts to come.

WHY? A general lack of material on two-cubit-jambs, five-cubit-vestibules, and their relevance to Peter’s haul of fish.

#JambsMatter
In what follows, I will seek to outline:

a] some of the more distinctive features and numerical harmonies of Ezek. 40-48;

b] how the apostle John patterns his gospel--and in particular its passion and resurrection narratives--on Ezekiel’s vision.
Briefly, Ezek. 40-48 depicts a new temple and a new temple order--an Edenic hub where the righteousness of the law is fulfilled and flows forth to water/restore all Creation, and where YHWH is permanently present.

These themes are brought out by our text in a number of ways.

gezegen olusumunu tetikleyen ilk dinamik sanilanin aksine kutlecekimi degil, disk halkasi boyunca akis duzensizligi (stream instability).
%99 gaz (He, H), %1 kucuk çakıl taslarindan (buz/kaya parcalarindan) mutesekkil minnos bi kontrol hacminde olup bitenler pek bilinmez..
gaz ve çakıl grubu yıldız etrafındaki diskte farklı hızlarda döner. gaz daha yavaş olduğu için kayacıklar dönüş sırasında karşı rüzgara (headwind) ve yüksek sürtünme kuvvetine maruz kalır. bu yüzden de kümeleşme eğilimindedirler. yekpare kütleye hava direnci nispeten azdır.
~150km’lik bir asteroid oluştuğunda kütleçekiminin toplayıcı etkisinden bahsedebiliriz bir miktar. toplam kütle 10 dünya kütlesine eriştiği vakitse artık bu cisim “gaz toplamaya başlar”, topladıkça büyür, büyüdükçe kütleçekimi artar. 10 milyon sene içinde bir jüpiter yaratır :)
