How do you guilt trip a country into underachievement in order to maintain your own monopoly on technological, scientific and strategic domain? I present to you the PoHu Trap ©

Thread.
The human species, over the last 100K years, have slowly but surely added layers to the basic evolutionary cycle that every other lifeform on this planet follows. These layers lead to the formation of what we call cultures.
Ofcourse, based on a myriad of factors like religion, history, climate, geography and natural/man-made events, different places in the world have their own cultural trajectory.
In a way, the history of humanity has been the history of the quest for cultural domination, be it through peace or war. In this process, the forces of globalization and nationalism have gained the upper hand alternately.
In a post ww2 world, the globalising elite developed various strategies to maintain and increase their hegemony in the military, financial, scientific and the techno-industrial sphere that was the foundation of their neo-colonial ambitions.
There are three pillars to this strategy-

1. denying a nation its' right to comprehensive growth
2. actively undermining the institutions of a nation
3. creating and maintaining an illusion of a "promised land"
One of the most racist constructs in the modern era is the First World/Third World categorization of nations. On the surface, it looks benign (even if slightly insulting) enough. However, the ideology behind it is anything but.
What is ostensibly an economic and so called development marker is actually a cultural trap, meant to show a country it's "proper place" in the corridors of international power establishments.
In the worldview of the globalists, a "poor third world" nation could only "prosper" under the political and military umbrella afforded by a "modern, progressive, first world" nation.
So anytime a "third world" country shows any ambition that would give it access to new knowledge/technology or threaten existing cartels, the entire narrative in the global media becomes focused on delegitimizing those efforts by any means possible.
So, when ISRO launches a rocket, the Western press cries about how many poor people there are in India. When DRDO tests a missile, chest beating begins on "wasteful military expenditure". These voices are then amplified by fifth columnists and useful idiots within the country.
The PoHu argument essentially boils down to - "We, the globalists, have decided that the priority for your country is poverty/hunger/population/democracy/<insert your favourite> etc.
We will delegitimize every effort by your nation to break the barriers we have set up by constantly harping on these "priorities" regardless of context.
"How dare you decide to stand up on your own without kowtowing to globalist cartel? How dare you have different priorities than the ones we have assigned? How dare you pursue all round development & not endlessly maintain a subservient status quo through a sustenance economy?"
The strategy is to then attack the things that do work in a nation. So the Indian democracy becomes "chaotic and colourful", the democratically elected Indian govt becomes "brute majority", and basic working of the state becomes a form of "oppression" and "crushing of dissent".
ISRO is portrayed as a bunch of overambitious wasters of a country's resource - "what use is a satellite to solve poverty and hunger?" The military becomes an "occupying force". Mystifying head scratching ensures when millions of Indians don't die in a pandemic.
At the same time, ambitious and systemic reforms are discounted altogether. How many of you have read a foreign article on the wonder that is the UPI framework? Or growth in mobile internet fuelled businesses? Or the kind of highway connectivity we have seen in last few years?
What the above does is create a default idea is that India ("third world" country) is *supposed* to be poor and hungry *forever*. Then, this specific expectation is used to negatively portray any initiative except the ones approved by the globalists as unnecessary and wasteful.
Thus, there is a vicious narrative cycle implemented where because India is hungry and poor, it is also corrupt, chaotic, inefficient and "colourful/with a soul" and because it is all those things, it is, as recently remarked, "barely governable" and hence, poor and hungry.
Poverty, hunger, inefficiency, chaos are portrayed as virtues that the white person has to come and save us from, but only if we behave and be good boys and listen to what they say and do exactly that and show no spine, no independent insight, no self supporting initiative.
In fact, it is essential that the image of India is captured in the PoHu Trap because that narrative becomes a tool in the globalist's arsenal to use against poor people in "first world countries".
The aspirational Indian is portrayed as the barbarian enemy of first world working class who has stolen their privileges, in order to deflect them from demanding accountability from their billionaire overlord cabal.
Which brings us to the final point, "the promised land". In order to drive the PoHu narrative, you need the collaborator native. These collaborators are driven by three things - fame, fortune and rapture.
The narrative forces first give platforms to these collaborators. Once they show consistency, they become stars in the celebrated rudaali brigade that creates a self sustaining flood of bilge that decries everything Indian.
Then these collaborators get promoted and are given posts in establishments where they recruit the next generation of collaborators. The rewards start to come thick and fast in terms of book deals, foreign junkets, awards etc.
And finally, for the truly deserving, the pearly gates to the "first world" opens and they are welcomed and "settled" abroad, almost always with a trophy spouse, so that they can pontificate on their former country sitting thousands of miles away.
This is the peak aspiration of the collaborator, to be the most trusted, the bestest, the favourite servant of their master.
It is by the collective tapas Shakti of our country(wo)men and our ancestors that India and her civilization exists in the form that we have today. It is our duty to be strong and forward looking without forgetting our roots so that we solve our problems in our own way.
No country in the world is perfect. Magic solutions don't exist. It takes effort day in and day out in all dimensions to bring about lasting change.
Shri Krishna had cautioned us against all forms of tamas, that drain our momentum. Our dharma is to keep doing our duty - KarmanyeVadhikaaraste.
Take pride in Bharat. Trust your fellow Bharatiyas. Respect the Bharatiya civilization that has survived both time and blood. Believe in the Bharatiya dream.

Jay Hind.
Bharat Mata Ki Jai

An obfuscation campaign is currently underway to give intellectual cover to assorted foreign supported regime change agents. In this thread I will try to explain why these toolkit creating agents of chaos are, in fact, committing sedition against the sovereign Indian nation state
In order to understand the present, we have to understand how the nature of warfare itself has changed over time. Without this one will not realize the false contrast being created between "peaceful activists" and the state.
Many years ago, battles were messy affairs between massed troops on either side indulging in wholesale slaughter. This is commonly referred to as first generation warfare. Mahabharata, Alexander, Hannibal etc were all example of this. This is the classical image of war.

this is a very good thread. Challenge however is whether a true perspective shift can occur by engaging with the western academic framework, or by rejecting it completely roots up and building a true alternative model. 2nd option is a nuclear solution.
There is of course a political dimension to this. Mere studying of a knowledge system is futile unless one is able to apply it in his/her sphere of influence and make tangible change. And by change I dont mean charity or self help groups. I mean application + subversion of power
The problem in the Indian/Hindutva political scene is that it is too obsessed with "normalizing" of itself - and in that process it often becomes a validation seeker, especially and perversely when it gets even a modicum of power.

A thread to collect racist constructs designed by Hindu hating colonial regimes and perpetuated by modern day (mem)sahibs and their deracinatated, self loathing chamchas.
1. South Asia: An artificial term specifically constructed to erase the social, cultural and political history of Sanatan Civilization. Erasure of history is the first step to delegitimize and then ultimately perpetrate genocide on any indigenous living tradition.
2. Scientific Temper: A term designed to delegitimize traditional knowledge systems, invalidate "native" ontology as well as label an entire people as ignorant and backward.

Why do we do the things that we do? What compels us- ambition? hunger? obsession? nature? A combination of all of the above? In order to really understand Sarri's appointment we need to go back a decade, in the dark days when Secco, Blanc & Gigli were perched at Vinovo #Sarri
Those were dark times- only thrice in her history had the Old Lady faced a crisis like what loomed ahead back then. The supporters were disillusioned, the management was in complete disarray & the squad was one of the weakest, most overpaid ever. And yet, here we are today #Sarri
So what changed? The obvious answer is the arrival of Andrea Agnelli, but, really, what changed? Look back again at the European soccer scene, and look at it now. Do you see it? #Sarri
