But wait for the #EnglishApartheid system and the English media to launch massive spin and propaganda against this. The elite class won't give up their privilege easily. Already started.
Khalistan is fuelled by a narrative war which began during British times—separation of Hindus and Sikhs. Pakistan built on it after 1971, with Congress' assistance.
J&K is a narrative war.
Force cannot fix narrative. Only counter-narrative can. Indian State is terrible at this.
Unfortunately narrative war is not part of BJP/RSS sanskara. But for India to rise they must invest in it, otherwise it will always be an uphill battle.
This requires serious investment. "Good work" alone won't do it.
For example, what kind of investment has India done in pro-actively countering Hindu-Sikh separation narrative or Islamic J&K narrative. "Secularism" is not narrative. The India narrative can only be constructed on a sanatan civilizational vision.
A short exposition of White privilege by a brown convert. 😏
There is a reason the first item on this list occurs a few decades after 1757. Guess what happened in 1757.
Dharampal documents Smallpox inoculation in India—from British archives. Soon after, West "discovers" it.
The problem with such Eurocentric history is that it takes the ignorance of Europe and presumes it to be the ignorance of the world. Like Europe thought the sun revolved around the earth, so the "world" did. You must also believe in "Arabic numbers" @raghurajs_hegde?
While Europe was a festering cesspool of dirt & disease, Hindu were well aware of the importance of hygiene and its role in the spread of disease. This is why they had elaborate hygiene rules, particularly concerning the exchange of bodily fluids like saliva and "jhoota."
I went to an Ayurvedic doctor earlier this year. He helped restore my eyesight to 20-20 vision with eye exercises—these also help in onset of Glaucoma.
But he said there are some who he cannot help. Those who had eye surgery like Lasik. Creates long-term damage. Choose well.
If one needs surgery, today the skilled surgeons have been trained in allopathic colleges. But that simply due to suppression of Ayurveda during colonialism. Once an ecosystem of training in surgery is restored in Ayurveda, there is no reason why they won't have good surgeons.
Sri Sri Panchkarma centre and Sri Sri Ayurveda Hospital in BLR. Look it up.
India is not secular, nor is it Indic. It is largely a #ChristoIslamic Sharia state where Hindus are second class citizens and the government has huge “minority” schemes to incentivize conversion out of Hinduism. Including new ones by @narendramodi govt.
Western medicine is not “evidence-based medicine.” It is authority-based medicine. It must be certified by the Church of medicine, a controlled ecosystem, to be valid.
Anything not certified is “heresy” aka “quackery.” People can’t decide if it works for them. Authorities must.
Evidence is pratyaksha. But there is a superstructure of authority to certify what is evidence. Who controls that? Who owns journals? What gets certified? Doctors can even be sued in the US for "un-certified" use even if they rely on years of experience.
I am not questioning evidence but the privilege of the structure of authority over evidence—authority-certified shabd pramana overrides pratyaksha pramana.
Which is why it is authority-based, not evidence based. Let's not get into "true science" fallacy.
