So, with Armenia, there is a problem - Orange Revolution. And Russia hates it. In two words, one can summarize it as, Russia lost the leverage on the talks table between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Forget all rhetoric. That's the fundamental problem.
Turkey always advocated for a resolution - you can't keep the pot simmering for ever!! That's exactly what Armenia did.
Was Azerbaijan correct? Legally, yes, but morally no. And after what it did to Armenian heritage in Nakchivan, a big no.

And now, we have a deadly cocktail. Russia itching to punish Pashinyan, a neo-Ottomanite Turkey and a dictator in a quest for a legacy and smooth succession - all waiting for Armenia to rake up the tensions. End result? Probably, the first capitulation announced on Facebook.
Massive anger, rioting and protests in Armenia. Speaker lynched to death, Prime Minister beaten, speaker lynched(to death?)
Soros's Offices Trashed, Government Buildings attacked, rioting on the roads.
Armenia lost huge tracts of lands. Already it lost 90%+ of land based on Wilsonian Issue on Sevres.
Pashinyan miscalculated. No body helped. Who suffered? Do you know what irritates more? The smirk on the face of the Dictator.
Putin put his foot at the right time to save Armenia. But, what they held for 30 years is lost - that's the punishment he gave. He will protect Armenia, no problem. But, there is another lesson here - if you are in a sphere of influence, behave like one.
A better map.
For any country, I will tell only one thing. Remember your historic wrongs. But don't let your history decide your future. And especially when you don't have resources to realize them.
Armenia has a great history and legacy. We just don't want it to go the Kars way or even the Nakchivan way. Please...please...behave responsibly.
But one thing. Pashinyan is a patriot. His wife is still on the frontlines and he returned to Armenia fully knowing what's going to happen to him. How many leaders have you seen who surrendered themselves to lynch mobs?
Who is to blame, who fired the first shot, who gained the most is all secondary but the ultimate question is, What Next?

There is this little girl whose father was the official priest of a deposed king. She spent all childhood more as a boy than a girl - sword fight, horde riding and all those. One day, she was asked as a wife for a heirless old Brahmin king. She gave birth to a posthumous child.
When negotiations were going on over adoption of a heir, the king died and the British refused to accept the adoption. She petitioned but to no avail. The dead king had a strange habit. Weekly once he used to dress like a woman and gave public audience.
People thought he was eccentric. Somehow, someone asked him the reason why he did that. He replied simply, my power is nothing more than that of a woman in a house. This is just my symbolic protest of that. Now, this kingdom had a great reputation as a knowledge centre.

There is a decent(for a British) exposition over caste - a rare good read on the topic.
1. Caste is not something unique to India. The sophistication of Indian society gives such a complex caste structure. Image
Don't believe a Literary Man. Image
And more importantly, don't believe a philologist. He will invent you stories out of thin air. The author aptly calls them Literary Fiend and Philological Crank. Image

If anyone takes a Mudra loan for crackers shop, with the sort of retrospective laws India comes up with, should banks be punished for granting loan to setup an illegal business? Besides, after years of normalisation, this Damocles Sword can't be ignored.
Sad to say, we are in a situation where criminalization of Hindu festivals and arrests for flimsy reasons is being normalized. Three more years, if people say they arrested him for bursting crackers, we won't outrage. We will be saying Usme kya nayi baat.
On the spur decisions like banning crackers while preparations for procurement takes months - how does it encourage Atmanirbhar Bharat and Ease of Doing Business? How many crackers manufacturers lost jobs because of this ban?

One reason why Buddhism and Jainism failed as religions - they spent more time trying to troll Hinduism than attempting to create a solid religious corpus.
Forgot to take a screenshot of the previous image. A Buddhist translation of Gayatri Mantra. Image
And Karpatri Maharaj on Jain Ramayanas

If I say Garba and all those, whatever their origins are, the only purpose people take a part of it is for community bonding and Hindu power projection?
It is a well attested observation that the collapse of Hindu Empires before Islam replaced Yagas with carnivals. A private affair involving a ceremony became a carnival where the king or whoever it is started the celebrations. It's not that they weren't there before (Prabhalu in
Andhra for example). In two words, religion hit the roads as a response to Islamic invasions. Were the people reveling in it pious? Were they really interested in puja or bhakti? Who cares, till the goal is to bring all Hindus onto the roads?

Today is Mahanavami. The Goddess appeared as Mahishasura Mardini today. Let me collate how Goddess Bhadrakali of Warangal is depicted these nine days. Names, I am not completely sure, though.
1. Bala Tripura Sundari
2. Annapurna
3. Gayatri
