Twitter has no problems trending hate speech. Eh @twittersupport? As long as it is against their favorite targets.

Imagine if someone were trending “Islam is poison” or “Jews are poison.” They'd see it as bigotry.

But some bigotry is platformed. Pure hate from Twitter. @jack

Time to Koo.

Brahmanvaad is a made-up term. It is a product of colonialism. No one used it before that. For missionaries Brahmins were rivals and thus targets of hate. That is its origin.

Children in India are being inculcated into this hate via the education system and by propaganda. This is breaking up the society. This is its aim.

Some of the earliest references to the term “Brahamanism” as “superstition.”

“worship of evil spirits by bloody Brahmins.”

From encyclopedia entry. 😏

This is the origin of Brahmin hate-bots.

It’s not about Brahmins. It’s Christian #WhiteSupremacy about brown heathens.

Brahmanism as superstition.

“Social science” is Christian theology pretending to be “scholarship.”

Western scholars try to find "religion" in India. They find none, but the Bible tells them that "God" gave religion to all peoples. So they force fit Indian traditions into religion. It doesn't work. So they declare the whole thing "incoherent" rather than themselves ignorant.

You cannot understand the bogus nature of today's "scholarship" tell you understand its origins in a very ignorant and prejudiced European mind. This mind thought the earth was < 6000 years old, because the Bible said so. It had no sophistication to understand Indian chronology.

This is the "Chronology" of the earth from an Encyclopedia from 1875. This was "gospel truth" for Europeans, but particularly for Christian missionaries like Max Mueller who were writing Indian history.

This is the *basis* of Indian history taught in academia today.

The idea that Hindu civilization was more ancient than "Moses" was blasphemy, more ancient than Adam an impossibility. So, the wily Brahmins must be making up these fabulous myths of an old earth millions of years old. And everything they must have copied.

Saying "Adam" it itself bogus. There is no Adam. It's part of the myth-making.

"Brahamanism" is colonial and missionary fiction.

Brahmins were "wily, clever with black magic" to get everyone to be subservient to them. This dumb "history" survives in academia in the 21st century because it serves the interest of attacking Hindus.

Still trending. Disgusting. Someone needs to sue.

Even in the US, well-funded groups are now targeting Hindus over “caste.” One cannot run. We have to stand and fight and expose false narratives.

Hindu defeat and the brutalities they endured made them try avoid attention, avoid conflict. Do Puja at home; do bhajan for self-calming.

No more. We cannot keep running. If you don't want your children to end up like the Yezidi, stand ground and fight.

We can have an entire thread on how one’s “lived experience” is completely different from what this so-called “caste system” is supposed to be. Perhaps people can share.
