This toy called "Pettakol", is the fascination among many kids During #GaneshChaturthi in Tumkuru and adjoining areas. It works on the principle of Piston, just like a syringe. Small fruits called 'Gowri Kai' is used to make a 'pop' sound.

1/3
It has a history of centuries. It is a family tradition of this farmer from Urdigere to make pettakols' and sell them on Ganesh Chaturthi. They are doing it inspite of #COVID19 and a full market.

It is such traditions which has kept our culture alive.

2/3
Kids take this Pettakol, visit 21 houses with Ganesha , make a 'Pop' sound using 'Gowri Kai' and say 'Vidya Ganapathi ki Jai' and ask for blessings.

Hope this Corona ends soon and the world returns to normalcy.

This making of caricatures of Kannadigas who can't speak good English has to stop.

Not everybody are privileged to get good English education. 1/n
I have seen many rural candidates who have good knowledge of the work they do, but fail just because they think they are not good English speakers. 2/n
Howard making fun of Raj Kuthrapali in TBBT is understandable. But our own people making fun of 60% population who can't speak good English and making it a stereotype, bad. 3/n

No efffing Liberal/Commie is asking people of 'Special faith' to change their behaviour and act judiciously at such testing times.

#TablighiJamatVirus
But every Holi, Diwali, Karva Chauth, Dassara, Uttarayan Liberals enjoy shaming Hindus for practising their festivals as though it is their favourite sport.
Elite 'opinion makers' do savage attack dissing, dissecting and disrespecting Hindu traditions but not a word against people misbehaving with doctors, spitting at medical staff, absconding when they have to report to the government.

I have been following The Hindu, Deccan Herald and such vile left news publishers. They have been attacking the Modi government day in, day out.

But I see BJP govt ads in it.

Hurt them where it hurts.
Apart from URI all films of nationalistic fervour failed at Box office. Modi met Bollywoodiyas before Maharashtra elections, Treated good South Indian film personalities like shit. And still Bollywood is what it is.

Hurt them where it hurts.
Now academics. JNU , Jhadavpur, Jamia are all hotbeds of commies and jihadis. Still the government feeds these snakes.

If government decides to Fu*k them , it can. Simple.

Hurt them where it hurts.

Are you confused about CAA and NRC in India? Okay.
Think of all the major events in the last century in which people fought for their survival.
Now, please check the motive/reason behind the cause which put people on a situation where they would fight for survival i.e, Life.
99% of the time motive/reason has been monotheism and communism.
Monotheism propagated by organised abrahamic religions and Communism propagated by utopian dreamers.
What is the guarantee that History will not repeat, and you will not be put to a situation where even survival will be difficult?
Given that this country was divided into two and millions died just because they were of another faith.
