"Human Rights" orgs push to raise the age of marriage. The pretext is to "save" teens getting pregnant.

Yet, it often just shifts from pregnancies within marriage to unwed teen mothers. Which is worse?

Kenya has a marriage age of 18. Laws Don't help.

The "savior complex" creates far more societal problems than it fixes. It is disconnected from from reality. It is an imposition from above.

It is based on the idea that people need to be "fixed" from above. It is the liberal version of the Christian sin & savior complex.
Meanwhile teen marriage is legal in the US and UK. In same US states one can marry as young as 14 with parental consent. Yet their NGOs pressure "third world" to raise marriage age, often criminalizing vast swathes of society.
"For their own good."

Unfortunately BJP falls for that propaganda in criminalizing society. India already has among the highest rates of marriage in the world. If anything, it should be lowered (with parental consent).

#ChurchUnsafe4Women is trending.

But this is in the very structure of Christianity. Women are the source of "original sin." There is the Father, the Son ... and the Holy Ghost . The mother is absent or turned into a "virgin", robbed of feminine power.

Do you have any experience of the West? What is the source of your information that "females are in better condition" here?

Please tell more about Mokosh. I'm very interested in how European pagan traditions were first subjugated by Christianity, and the subjugation of the feminine.

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.

@vinay1011 @narendramodi

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.

Classic Scientism—science as a religion.

Can therapy X help?

Religious believer in Scientism—IT CANNOT. IT WOULD VIOLATE LAWS.

Scientist—Does it work empirically? If so that’s great, let’s investigate it. We may learn something new about the universe, improve our theories.
Is Science based on “common sense”? Lots of things that Science discovers defy common sense. The sky is not really blue, incidentally.

Sure, studies can control for the Placebo Effect. But religious belief would still not accept it.

Multiple logical fallacies in a single statement. Not unexpected of religious believer in Scientism.

1. Ad Hominem
2. Strawman
3. False attribution

Like a religious zealot who believes “Bible=Truth” equates criticism of Scientism as “anti-Science.” 😆

बहुत देर से इस बात का आग्रह कर रहा हूँ, शायद किसी के गले उतर ही गयी।

लेकिन @DrRPNishank जी इसे ठीक तरह लाना अवश्य है, आप चाहें तो इस पर मैं आपसे मिलकर सुझाव दे सकता हूँ।
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.

No, have to start at the top institutes. This is critical.

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.
