Bhakts, today, are celebrating the birth anniversary of Subhashchandra Bose. Bose was a freedom fighter who culminated INA to fight the British imperialism.
Whereas Bhakts' antecedents favored British imperialism over INA.
Thread (1/9) on Hindu Mahasabha's hypocrisy:
When Bose, during World War II (1939-1945), was trying to secure foreign support for liberation of India and trying to organise a military attack towards the northeast of the country, it was 'Veer' Savarkar who offered full military cooperation to the Britishers.

He categorically stated:

The following concluding words of his Bhagalpur address made it clear that as per Savarkar's wisdom, sub-serving the British war efforts would herald a great future for the Hindus of the country:

Savarkar's presidential address at Madura is a living testimony to his unabashed support to the British imperialistic designs. He rejected outright Bose attempts to liberate India.
He declared:

When the British government in the wake of the World War II decided to raise new battalions of its armed forces, it was Hindu Mahasabha under direct command of Savarkar which decided to enroll Hindus in a big way in this venture.
'Veer' Savarkar stated:

Some thoughts/excerpts on "I could not be #Hindu" by a former #RSS sevak/worker Bhanwar Meghwanshi, a #Dalit.
The book is really worth reading, just like #Ambedkar's "Annihilation of #Caste".
It is a unique 'testimony' to the RSS's #casteism.

Bhanwar has realised, in the end, that establishment of #RSS was also a partly reaction to the rise of #Dalit politics under the aegis of #Ambedkar whose first anti-caste mobilisations (including the Mahad satyagraha and temple entry movements).

In fact, Deendayal Upadhyaya defended '#casteism' even more explicitly, in Integral Humanism, a text that is still considered as its ideological charter by the RSS and BJP and other RW fringe groups.
After Uttar Pradesh, Haryana is embracing the 'bandwagon effect' of laws against love jihad. Other states will follow the chain too.
The law is not in sync with Article 25 of the Indian Constitution, in the first place, & it's tuned to Modi's political philosophy.

Secondly, the ramification of this abhorrent and misogynical law will disdain (and discourage) women to make inform and free choices for herself. No doubt the philosophy of this law is stemmed from Manusmriti's thoughts over women's rights.

1st of all, it's not government's business to tell us whom we shld marry or not. If there's coercion involved in such special marriages, then let the courts or law take up the matter. What gives govt. the right to state "Your Ram Naam Satya journey will begin" so blatantly?

Indian voters won't vote for coherent issues, in 2024, because they are shifted to that overton window wherein religious consciousness would matter. The current regime has a proactive PR machineries, which even integrated opposition parties can't imagine to possess.

Logical fallacies, as posited by the so-called opposition parties, alone would not influence the behavioral pattern on EVMs. Let's keep it straight and honest.
It's the narratives that matter in the upcoming landscape. The opposition parties may do regionally well but...

they don't possess a sound blueprint to counter the nation's 'new' narratives grounded in the issues like Pakistan-bashing, Islamophobia, Kashmir, Ram temple movt. & soldiers. This shit is real. Accept it.
Cautiously, through other issues, even a rhetoric to refute them...

Non-Buddhists, especially Hindus, often certify that Ambedkarite Buddhism is NOT #Buddhism.
First of all, nobody asked for their 'opinion'.
Second thing, Buddhism is flexible and liberal enough to alter as per the consciousness of epoch.

Third thing, Ambedkarite Buddhism is a school of thought in the branch of #Buddhism. There's no dire need for any 'internationally accredited' agency to validate this sect.
It's just another extension to the organic growth of Buddhist philosophy.

Ambedkarite Buddhism is an outcome, from the years of racism, discrimination and hatred, faced by the dalits, atishudras or untouchables.
