"WASH TUBBS - Ridiculous But True"

"My word, sir, that is a problem! I have already refused $60,000,000 in cash because I feared the vil designs of certain potentates in India"

#HindooHistory Image
"Certainly, Mr. Tubbs, certainly. So would any man of principle, any lover of freedom. I tell you, sir, those Hindoos are dangerous. They are religious fanatics, and might easily start a holy war against the entire white race" Image
"My word! And with my war machine they would win easily! Naturally, I refused. But imagine my terror when I learned they had sent villainous spies to STEAL it"
"Hum! I'[m just beginning to realize the responsibility of this job. If me and Wash fail to keep those birds from stealing your invention-- Blazes! No telling what might happen" Image
"Exactly, sir, exactly! The peace of the world, sir, the freedom of America and the entire white race might depend on you and Mr. Tubbs"

"The object of the meeting was to raise funds to assist in receiving famine-stricken India. The program was rendered as printed in last week's Glacier, and the neat sum of $35 was raised to swell the India relief fund"
"Recitations were given by Miss Eva Nickiason and Nola Atterbury. Select readings on the great Indian famine were presented by Mrs. Wharton, Mrs. Belle Howe and Mrs. Minnie Rand."

"THE HINDOOS NOW GIVE WORRIMENT"

"California has not seen the end of its anti-alien agitation.If the following from the San Francisco Chronicle correctly sets forth the latest problem in race hatred that is facing the people of that state"

#HindooHistory Image
"Of all the Oriental races that have come to this State, the Chinese are by far the least objectionable and most useful and the Hindoos by far the worst."
"These people have effected a lodgment in this State, there is now law excluding them and no home government which can prevent their coming even if it is so desired"

Hello friends, in my third post for the #HindooHistory Substack, I discuss the "Hindoo" and the Enlightenment view of religion. Please read, share, and subscribe!

You might be surprised to learn that in an 1814 letter written to Thomas Jefferson, John Adams makes reference to the Juggernaut and then claims to be studying "Oriental History and Hindoo religion" Image
The appearance of both the "Jaggernaught" and the reference to Joseph Priestley's book in Adams's letter is fitting: Although the popular image of Buchanan's Hindoo dominated the American landscape, an intellectual engagement emerged among the American elite. Image

"HINDOO SERVANTS"

"Must be Handled Roughly, as They Don't Appreciate Kindness"

#HindooHistory
"Today the Hindoo servant is a lazy, good-for-nothing thief, and I will tell you how to handle him," said the general traffic manager of the Southern India Railway in his office at Madras, India to an Enquirer representative, who was in the orient several months ago..."
"Continuing, he said: 'I have seen a good deal of change in the country during my fifty years residence here, and one of the most remarkable changes has been in the treatment of servants."

"Placid Hindoo Servants"

"Hindoo servants are the most imperturbable in the world. You may throw one downstairs or pat him on the back. He accepts both with exactly the same expression of countenance"

#HindooHistory
"The Indian's religion is at the bottom of all his acts, all his feelings. He eats, sleeps, moves and has his being according to religious formula, and his doctrine of reincarnation forms his whole philosophy of life."
"The fact that you are the master now is due to the fact that you have been the servant in some previous reincarnation. He is the servant now, and the only chance for him to be reborn in the master's position is to learn all the lessons of his present incarnation"

"HINDU TEMPLE IS WRECKED BY BOMB"

"A man named Vavara, believed to have been a religious fanatic, wrecked the Hindu temple at Filbert and Webster streets this afternoon, exploding a dynamite bomb at the feet of Swami Trigunatita"

#HindooHistory Image
"Vavara was instantly killed, the bomb blowing him almost in two. The swami was horribly injured about the legs and feed. Of the congregation of about thirty-five persons, four were injured."
"Vavara was known to all of the members of the congregation. He was an inmate of the monastery which is maintained on the third floor of the temple up to two years ago, when, for some reason, he was dropped"
