Here is the link to the Writ Petition filed in November 2019 by the guardians of the Tiruchendur Sri Subrahmanya Swamy Temple along with the @indiccollective challenging over 45 provisions of the TNHRCE Act 1959 and the rules framed thereunder- indiccollective.org/portfolio-item…
On December 18, 2019, the said Petition, W. P. (C) No. 1432/2019, was tagged with the Writ Petition filed by the late Swami Dayananda Saraswathi ji, W. P. (C) No. 476/2012 and the Writ Petition filed by the Podu Dikshitars of the Chidambaram Temple W. P. (C) No. 544/2009.
I will be shortly writing a series of pieces to factually take down brick by brick the motivated, manufactured & baseless myths pushed by those who stand in the way of Temple Freedom. None of the bogeys cited to defend State Control of Temples holds water on the ground.
I will also address the much touted issue of "Who will manage the Temples after the State exits" and d rank ignorance & urban elitism surrounding d issue of traditional Temple Management structures. While I do not dismiss the legitimacy of these concerns,concerns are not facts.

1. It's been two nights since I watched #Dhurandhar2.Unlike the last time when I shared my reactions on #Dhurandhar almost immediately after watching the movie,I couldn't get myself to do the same for #Dhurandhar2 because there was a lot to unpack. I will attempt to do so now.
2.Whether it's a book or a movie,I think they tell us a lot about how the creator sees the world,or at least how he or she wants us to see it,& the impact or reaction their work is intended to create or elicit. In that sense, #Dhurandhar & #Dhurandhar2 are markedly different.
3. The way I see it, @AdityaDharFilms wanted to pack the Navarasas as judiciously as he could within the bounds of the story and the script he had in mind for both the movies. From Shringara to Shanta, each of the Navarasas has its place and treatment in his vision.
1. If the 'eternal and entitled victim' has such disdain & revulsion for the white monotheistic 'goyim',his contempt for & hatred of murti-worshipping polytheists can only be imagined.And yet he sweet talks to us.After all,he's the fount of Taqiyya and the original iconoclast.
2. As Sanatanis,we must ask how different is the eternal victim's treatment of the "Goyim" from his theological successor's treatment of the "kafir".The simplistic assumption that our enemy's enemy must be our friend doesn't really hold water when held upto theological scrutiny.
3. Apparently we are "friends" at the geopolitical level. Well, if the US establishment is controlled by this eternal victim (also known as the Deep State), it is fair to assume that every anti-Bharat decision has been influenced by or was not objected to by the eternal victim.
1. Thank you @svembu ji. Actually I have never claimed to be a historian. My analysis of history is part of my assessment of Bharat's constitutional journey. But let me share a few facts which the Left and a few from the non-Left have to lump whether they like it or not.
2. I am sharing these facts only to offend them. Both my books have sold at least 3.5 lakh copies,apart from e-book sales and audible versions.They have reached almost every strata of the society across age groups and percolated into institutions of repute in Bharat and abroad.
3. Book clubs have been formed to discuss my books, even 8th graders have read my books and created storyboards. UPSC coaching centres have included it as part of their recommended reading material and several reputed libraries have added it to their repertoire.
1. This was a discussion held in June 2024 in the backdrop of the relaunch of @VamseeJuluri garu's book Rearming Hinduism. When I said "Savarkar on the lips, Gandhi in the spine & Marx in the soul" describes the current state of affairs, it angered a few.
2. During Op. Sindoor,I vocally supported the Govt for its response to the Pahalgam massacre.The usual suspects brought up my "Savarkar on the lips.." statement to supposedly make the point that finally I had fallen in line. I let it go. And here we are with the #UGCRegulations.
3. The trolls ignored that my "Savarkar on the lips.." statement was directed,not at our foreign policy,but the handling of issues within. My point was just this- the success of the Left was that the Non-Left was implementing Marxist/Periyarist agenda under the rubric of Reform.
1. Watch #Dhurandhar on the big screen.I watched it today & came away thoroughly impressed at the finesse & execution of @AdityaDharFilms. With a brilliant cast where none is dispensable,a tightly written script & a scintillating background score, 214 minutes isnt long enough.
2. Highlights of the content- The candid depiction of the geopolitical challenges Bharat is faced with,the civilizational conflict at the heart of it,the fifth columnists within Bharat who aid the enemy, and the difficult terrain that patriots have to navigate to protect Bharat.
3. The cast- @ActorMadhavan, Akshaye Khanna, @bolbedibol, @RanveerOfficial, @duttsanjay, @rampalarjun are obviously the standouts. Of these,Akshaye Khanna, @RanveerOfficial & @bolbedibol are absolutely brilliant. However, Akshaye Khanna dominates every scene he is in & how!
1. Trust the Pakistanis to make a pigsty even out of the @OxfordUnion. And as always, they are genetically incapable of being truthful. So here's the complete story of how this so-called debate played out.
2. The President of the @OxfordUnion is Moosa Harraj. Subject to correction, I am informed that he is the son of Muhammad Raza Hayat Hiraj, the Minister of Defense Production for Pakistan. The Treasurer of the @OxfordUnion is Raza Nazar, also a Pakistani. So you get the picture.
@OxfordUnion 3. On July 7, 2025, I received an invitation from the @OxfordUnion on behalf of Moosa Harraj to take part in a debate on the topic "The House Believes That India’s Response to Pakistan is a Populist Strategy Sold as Security Policy".
