UNFORTUNATE TRUTH ABOUT MOTHER TERESA

Mother Teresa was a celebrity with a very well-managed brand. Ask most people what they think about her and they'll say something vague about what a "good person" she was, how benevolent, self-sacrificing & generally lovely.

I have absolute sympathy with this stance; that's been the pretty consistent throughout the news coverage of her, both in life and after death.

She was involved in some very shady business practices. Her clinics received millions in donations yet their conditions were appalling.
There was a disturbing shortage of medical care, Systematic diagnosis and necessary nutrition. As well as a decided lack of painkillers. Teresa once told a cancer patient "Pain means Jesus is near you...Suffering is an opportunity to share in the passion of Christ."
Teresa compared suffering to kisses from Jesus to which the patient replied, "please tell Jesus to stop kissing me".

Christopher Hitchens who wrote the extended essay The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in theory and practice, In one article he wrote,
"Mother Teresa was not a friend of the poor; she was a friend of poverty.

She said the suffering was a gift of god. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty,which is the empowerment of women and the liberation of them from a livestock version of reproduction."
She opted to receive advanced western treatment for her heart condition when she routinely denied even painkillers toner patients. She wasn't working to alleviate poverty She was working to expand the no. of Catholics. She said, "I'm not a social worker. I do it for Christ."
Teresa also had some rather dubious political contacts. She's accused of accepting financial grants from Duvalier dictatorship which is deemed responsible for murders of over 30000 Haitians.
Her allegiance was not with the sick but with the church & she spread Catholicism at the expense of health, comfort and humanity of her patients. Her hospitals became known as houses of dying where she & her sisters would baptize the ailing without their consent & understanding.
They were out to make converts and not save lives.

From beheading a teacher in Paris to brutally killing Kamlesh Tiwari in India, you are the ones who are intolerant.

From Jewish exodus to Kashmiri Pandits exodus, you are the ones who hate others!

Form 9/11 attacks to 26/11 attacks, you are the ones who spread terrorism!
From burning Sweden to Bangalore, you are the ones who don't care about law and order.

From beheading of 2 Scandinavian women in Morocco to beheading Priya Soni in Lucknow, you are the ones who are barbaric murderers.

It's you and only your ideology which should be blamed.
If these "Few" incidents aren't enough for you to question them, them do hell with your Secularism. I can't expect peace from these Pigs.

I'm not a Secular and I'm proud of it. These people and Secularism can never stay together.

In the last 30 yrs, 99% of Afghan Hindus & Sikhs have left for India.
🇵🇰 PAKISTAN

2000 women from minority communities are abducted, forcefully converted to Islam and married to Muslim men.

5000 Hindus are leaving Pak every year to escape these terrible conditions.

The Pak Govt. is based on Islam and gives little to no rights to non-Muslims.
🇧🇩 BANGLADESH

Percentage of Hindus out of general population:
1940 = 28%
1951 = 2%
2011 = 8.4%

At this rate there will be no more Hindus in Bangladesh by the year 2050.

🚨 THREAD ALERT

1/n

India is performing worse than Bangladesh? A part of recent IMF report is being quoted to show that India's per capita GDP is less than even Bangladesh.

Here are some facts from the same report.
2/n

This is an estimate from the IMF for March 2021, where India's per capita GDP is expected to plunge to $1,877 and Bangladesh's will rise to $1.888. This has been shared widely.
3/n

However, what is not being shared is that: same report predicts that in 2021, India' growth rate will bounce back to 8.8% and surpass that of China(8.2%).

India will regain the title of fastest growing economy!

What are some facts from the Vedas that have been proven by Science?

I am presenting some small facts which all of us know but we don't know these facts were already known in Vedic Period by our Rishi Munis. These are basically based on our Solar System.
Rig Veda 10.22.14
"This earth is devoid of hands and legs yet it moves ahead. All the objects over the earth also move with it. It moves around the Sun."

Rig Veda 1.84.15
"The moving moon always receives a ray of light from sun."
Rig Veda 10.149.1
"The sun has tied Earth and other planets through attraction and moves them around itself as if a trainer moves newly trained horses around itself holding their reins."
