Ever since the Crusades, Islam & Christianity have been at loggerheads, in a frantic rush to convert pagans, kafirs & heathens to their respective religions.
Why would they not fight to convert Hindus?? Especially if India’s Constitution allows it ??
This HAD to backfire as
Current angst within Hinduism comes directly from being in the middle of this crossfire between two massive religions.
For a fundamentally secular, non converting religion like Hinduism to sit there watching others converting Hindus to Islam or Christianity was bound to backfire
I have no idea what the solution could be. But it’s crystal clear to me how nervous it must be making Hindutva guys to be either helpless, or waste money on counter-marketing schemes to stop poor Hindus from converting. Esp given that Hinduism is not even a real “religion” in
Hinduism is barely even a religion

India’s biggest enemy is its enormously bloated IAS bureaucracy that holds “permanent power”thru seats left behind by British. (In Pakistan it is the military). The IAS makes or breaks politicians thru its own media+election commission apparatus. It
It (IAS machinery) can make/break politicians thru well orchestrated press “leaks”& scandals.They call it anti-incumbency sentiment of voters-they control vote bank machinery thru “election commission”. They punished #RajivGandhi thru a well timed “BoforsLeak” for his attempt to
bypass the IAS via Sam Pitroda’s CDot. His push 4 Indian growth in mobile comms threatened the IAS directly. Now the IAS machinery is punishing ModiGovt for trying to push for “economic growth”. Just like w RajivGandhi, they are threatened by Modi’s attempts to break free from
#DearYoungIndia: Savdhan!! #Coldwar2 has now begun between an existing superpower: US, & a rising one. US+India+Japan+UK+France+Germany+Israel are now #OneBloc of partnership betn democracies. China+Pakistan+Turkey+Malaysia is a rising Bloc of powerful military dictatorships.
US+India is a relatively new geostrategic partnership as US&China engage in overt “balance of power”. US+India NEED each other. We have 1.4 billion smart young humans, US has the military might. Chinese attack on India’s Ladakh border 2020 cemented our partnershp w America.
US+India bloc is already collaborating closely on everything from conventional weapons to nuclear shields to manufacturing supply chains, to economic warfare to joint espionage to cyberwarfare. Be mindful! Support our Bloc w every ounce of awareness, learning & preparedness.
#Web3.0: starting Jan 2009, 1000s of crypto programmers around the world created today’s world of #blockchains#bitcoins & #NFTs. It is finally taking off as car, computer & real estate companies start accepting bitcoins (&other crypto coins) for real goods. #Indian programmers
of course made millions of $$ in bitcoin when it was below $10. Today it is at $60,000 each. Since Crypto is a parallel universe w NO location in ANY country, it cannot legally be regulated by ANY “Govt”. Not even US. If anyone tries extort you, under any pretext, push back!
More importantly, please read the #NFTBible & get familiar w this space. You do not want to miss this boat even if your government is clueless about it.
In early 1990s, #IndianGovt & various other governments tried to ban the Internet when nobody knew what it was. They deprived their nations of unprecedented wealth creation. Today the same #Babubureaucracy is trying to ban or regulate India’s baby steps into Crypto world. This
This is gross negligence. Just because the bureaucrats don’t know what it all means. They will once again deprive #youngIndia of an enormous opportunity to create wealth for the country. I do plan to reach #PM directly to make sure that there are no roadblocks to our baby steps
I do wish that our PM @narendramodi depended less on bureaucrats. In any case #Crypto world is impossible to regulate. Not even by US Govt. It’s a parallel economy in a parallel universe. Just like the internet. Thousands of young Indian programmers have made enormous wealth. If
#ColdWar2 has now begun betn #America & a rising #China. #India & the D10 block of democracies are firmly w US. Even if you hate your current government, WATCH its action abroad. Learn. India, US, UK,Israel, Australia,Japan, France are now powerfully coordinated. We are by far
We are by far the more powerful bloc. But this is changing fast. China Pakistan Turkey Malaysia is a powerful bloc too. Thankfully the US & India have mollified the Arabs, but these are shifting sands. Watch. Fascinating times ahead.
For the first time in history, an aging #America will need #India more than the other way around. #YoungIndia needs to understand all this very very deeply.
Defining moment for my parents was the #1947partition of India into 2. India & #Pakistan. For me the defining moment was #India going to war w Pakistan in 1971 to stop the genocide of #BengaliMuslims by #PakArmy & creating Bangladesh as a separate nation. Kudos to
