There is nothing "secular" about New Year's Day. It is based on the Gregorian Calendar, named for Pope Gregory. The change from Julian Calendar was made due to the shift in Easter. Motivation for this New Year date was also religious.

The New Year was shifted 10 days to account for Easter. Why was this particular day chosen? After December 25 for (fake) Jesus's Birthday, they counted forward to when Khatna happens.

"New Year's Day" is about the foreskin. #JesusKhatnaDay

New Year's Day is actually Jesus' "Feast of Circumcision" secularised into the Calendar.

No surprise, since "secularism" itself largely means secularised European Christianity. We have holidays on Sunday (Church holiday). Tuesday would be "communal."

You can wish #JesusKhatnaDivas on "New Year's." The bizarre Christian superstitions about the "Holy Prepuce" included the theory by a Christian theologian that it ascended into heaven to become the rings of Saturn. Till it was "found" in Italy. No joke. 😀

The Indian Constitution actually adopted the Shalivahana Shaka calendar (and also limited English for 10 years). We did not expect the colonial dynasty ruling India to actually implement all this. But what about "cultural nationalist" BJP? @narendramodi

The Indian calendar is much more scientific that the Gregorian. It predicts the seasons better and is aligned with nature. Who celebrates a "New Year" in the Dead of Winter vs Spring?

Let's come back from superstitions of #JesusKhatnaDivas.

Are they teaching the Indian calendar in school to children? @DrRPNishank

Pope Gregory creates an entire Calendar based on Jesus' genitalia. The quest for the Holy Prepuce has literally been a Holy Grail in Christianity. Who exactly has been obsessed with genitalia?

Apparently "Indian RW" per this fact-challenged sepoy. 🤣

Of course, not only the Calendar, time and its measurement itself is colonial.

"current use of Western time standards was not the result of an election or national leaders signing a treaty. It is a Western preference riding on coattails of colonialism."

How is that relevant? Per the myth Jesus was Jewish and would be circumcised as a Jewish infant. That is the day Pope Gregory enshrined as the "New Year."

Indian as a colonial state (contd).

In India, we have to sign most legal agreements on stamp paper. Why?

From the Indian Stamp Act of 1899, an act of British colonial rule. Indian laws, judiciary, legislative and administration continues British rule.

Why was this "Stamp Duty" levied?

"Stamp Duty in England was introduced in 1694 for four years to provide the country funds to continue one of the many wars against France."

For Indians it's like "ringa ringa roses." Stuff we do without a clue.

stampcalculator.co.uk/stamp-duty-his…
The enforcement of the Stamp Act 1765 by British colonies in America was a major factor in the colonies' war of independence from Britain.

But for securities and property sales, the UK itself has abolished stamp duty. But India has continued it even *after* independence.

A first step towards healing in India.

The majority-minority discourse was fanned by the British for divide-and-rule, setting up the "Communal Award" of electorates. This led to partition.

Unfortunately both "seculars" and BJP have kept this alive by govt policy. @narendramodi
Especially disappointing that the BJP govt has continued this abject state discrimination between citizens on the basis of religion.

I'll add a note about the picture. Article is from 2017 but I updated the picture.

Muslim professor of Islamic theology concludes Mohammad probably never existed. Fascinating, historical evidence for Jesus was always questionable, but more recent research is coming up with fundamental holes in the other prophet story as well.

@Aabhas24
wsj.com/articles/SB122…
No relics, apparently the story has big holes. It may be an invention a couple of hundred years later, much like "Jesus."

Though evidence points to Ram being a historical figure, his historicity is not central to Sanatan Dharma. Dharma remains, whether or not Ram was king of Ayodhya.. This isn't the same for "Jesus" or "Mohammad"—Christianity/Islam have no basis without them.

This guy claims to be an atheist.
Has a meltdown because a Hindu woman just questioned whether Hindus should celebrate Christmas.
Doxes her and complains to her employer in the US.
Has no problem targeting a Hindu minority in the US to defend the world’s most dominant religion.
And yeah, claims to be against “hate” while happily supporting attacks on Hindus at other times. 😌

Indian atheists are often crypto-#ChristoIslamists. Which makes sense actually..
Maybe harassment and bullying from you and others from your mob made her fear and delete her tweet?

Indian commies have no love for minorities actually, they regularly target Hindus in the US.

What they care about is the supremacy of dominant #ChristoIslam, which they defend.

Check the size of the tech industry in China (including IT), and the number of patents they have in Artificial Intelligence, and then come back and tell me about the "English advantage" in your industry.
A little cheat sheet of "English Advantage" of India over China in IT.

@s_ketharaman.
@subhash_kak

Only a moronic country has the medium of education in their country to cater to the less than 0.01% that may migrate to a foreign county. China is no moron. Guess who is.

There is one scheme of government in India where resources are allocated by proportion of population.

What is this?
Obviously government holidays is not it. 😏

A: Hindu-excluding scholarship schemes of @narendramodi govt.

Scholarships are distributed in religious proportion of the census. So Muslims get 70%+ of these. Hindus, of course, are ineligible, you wouldn't want kaffirs to get resources, would you?
