On March 11, 2004, 193 people were killed and nearly 2,000 were injured when 10 bombs exploded on four trains in three Madrid-area train stations during a busy morning rush hour.

Spain had joined America in the invasion of Iraq, and the incumbent PM was expected to return to power in the elections two days later.
2/
But after the blasts, public opinion changed overnight, and the socialists opposed to Iraq war swept to power, and pulled out Spain's troops from Iraq within weeks.

Al Qaida claimed responsibility.

Trump was happily hoping an easy reelection. Democrats had not been able to find even a good candidate and had forced semi-retired Biden on all other contestants.
4/
Then a Black was killed while being arrested by police. And violence was unleashed all across America. Trump' s racism was blamed to have created the atmosphere in which Blacks were being killed, and violence was claimed to be resistance against his racism.
5/
Black voters themselves were not convinced. Their votes for trump increased, so did those of women and Hispanics.

So who panicked? White males.

Even the most educated group on the planet, White males of America, gave in to violence.
6/
This is a very old template. Any power hungry venal unleashes the violence, and good people start paying blackmail payments, the extortion money, as insurance against more violence. But the easy money only increases the hunger of the blackmailer, his demands only increase.7/
Blackmail payments continue to increase, and eventually the society/country dies.

Mahabharat says that Bheem killed Bakasur. But actually Bakasur is always being reborn. Sometimes as the desert cult, sometimes as the Left.8/
People still think that they can buy peace by feeding Bakasur. Only to find that he has devoured them all in the end.

Because as in Mahabharat, so today: you can not buy peace. You can only impose peace, by unleashing more violence on the violent.9/
You may dislike Bheem for his power, feel jealous, envious, but alternative to him is always Bakasur.10/10

In this civil war between white nationalists vs white globalists, globalist faction in its zeal to unseat Trump resorted to ballot harvesting. Thus they broke unsaid agreement which was in force between civilized nations for a rules based world. 1/5
If this suspicion on the validity of US election result is not cleared ( I don't see it happening unless illegal votes are discarded followed by recounting and Trump camp accepting the results) then every nation is free to follow its own rules like what Democrats did. 2/5
That's why every other country is waiting for this US election to get to its conclusion.
Who knows, may be India too will opt for a political order forced from the top where Congress and many of its regional variations will be banned for being western stooges. 3/5

Lol!! Arya Samaji comes out. Baans par Murda Jalate hain. Waise. Baans Jalana ghor Ashubh mana jata hai.
Are Bhai, Arya Samaj Sanatani Karma Kanda ko nahin manta. Ab kya main unki manyataon ke baare mein bhee nahin bol sakta? Ye kya baat huyi?
I am not denouncing Arya Samaj. Why would someone get offended for pointing something of which Arya Samaj is so proud of.

It's true that whether Republican or Democrat it doesn't really matter as far as India-USA relationship is concerned. But only if it was traditional Republican or Democrats. This is because India-USA relationship can at best be transactional one.
1/
Republican party under Trump or Democrats post Obama are not the same as GOP or Dems pre-2008. The direction Trump wants US take to helps India serves India's geostrategic interests. It deviates from post WW-II policy of USA towards India advised by Churchill. 2/
US under Trump frees India from the Anglo-Saxon Atlanticist yoke and makes us grow freely. It's not that Trump has any genuine liking for India. It's his vision and direction for US which aligns with our interests.We saw that both against China-Pakistan axis and on home front.3/

Let state an incident from early mid 80s. There is a temple near Assi Chouraha in Varanasi opposite Kurukshetra pond called Panchadeva Mandir.
A self styled Guru came to this temple with his Chelas and started doing some Yagna with lots of pomp and show off.
1/
He would do pravachan in the evening after conclusion of rituals during the day.
It went on and on the 3rd or 4th day he showed his real teeth and attacked and mocked Sanatana position with abuse to Gods, Brahmins, and Vedas in a typical Baba Rampal style. 2/
ND Tiwari was the CM of UP. Matter came to the knowledge of local Brahmin Vidwans and through Varanasi Congress leaders CM office was contacted. With in an hour police came and put that self-styled Guru in jail after a good thrashing to him and his Chelas. 3/

An example of Sekoolar-Savarnaism on the academic front. Savarnas operating in Protestant Padre framework mainstream baseless pseudo-scientific speculations as research.
Had this come directly from a Padre Hindus would have rejected it.
1/3
But thousands of years of faith in V1 Savarna of Hindu masses is used as a cover to sell this Padre snake oil on the name “scientific” research.

Just for those who don’t know for the three aspects of ब्रह्म there Ramayanas by Valmiki in per Traditional Hindu discourse.

2/3
सत् aspect —> Valmiki Ramayana
चित aspect —> Yoga Vashishtha
आनंद aspect —> Aananda Ramayana.

Mastani's son from Bajirao got the state of Banda in UP. He and his descendents were treated like half Muslim by neighboring Hindu Rajas. By 1857, they had become almost Muslims.

"Shamsher Bahadur I (Krishna Rao)

Shamsher Bahadur I (28 January 1734 – 14 January 1761), also known as Krishna Rao, was a Maratha ruler of the dominion of Banda in northern India. He was the son of Bajirao I and Mastani"
