"Corruption & Black money are accepted as a part of life. This thinking has afflicted our politics, administration and society like an infestation or termites. None of our public institutions is free from these termites"
Now is the time to change this @narendramodi, 8th Nov 2016
125 crore Indians fought a decisive battle and WON #AntiBlackMoneyDay. Tell me what do you feel about the efforts to uproot corruption & black money?
'Nehru Model Failed, We're Trying To Correct It Since 2014': S Jaishankar
The "Nehru Model" was Jawaharlal Nehru's vision (1947–1964) for India's governance, combining socialism, democracy, and non-alignment to guide socio-economic development and global standing.
Let's see🧵
Nehru's "mixed economy" blended socialism and limited capitalism
The state controlled key industries (steel, energy, railways, defense), while private sectors operated in non-essentials under regulation
Emphasizing self-reliance, he invested in PSUs and heavy industries
Envisioned India as a secular, democratic republic, emphasizing universal suffrage and political equality
Laid groundwork for strong institutions of Parliament, independent judiciary, free press
🎯He rejected authoritarianism despite the challenges of governing a diverse nation
Gangetic plains was infinite pastural land with grass everywhere for cattle to eat
Brahmins convinced Kings to perform Rajasuya, Ashwamedha and Vajapeya yajna for more power, and the King MUST donate 10,000 cows to the priest for each Yajna
These Brahman priest employed thousands of Shudra to take care of cows, milk them and sell in villages
Shudra gets his daily wage, Brahmin becomes rich
To safeguard their gifted cows, Brahmins wrote some more stories equating Cow with Lakshmi and other Goddesses
Shudra were ALLOWED to kill and eat Bull meat, but not Cow.
Chandala wer allowed to eat dead cow's meat, but not to kill it.
Each Jaati under Shudra umbrella tried to stop eating meat to become higher Jaati within Shudra
From 1528 when it was built, till 1992 when it was demolished, and beyond till 2019 When the Supreme Courted Gifted it to Hindutva Monster - Narrated by Justice Rohinton F. Nariman
🔖Four Parts. Watch it. Book Mark it.
Part#1 1528-1949
After overnight conspired placement of three idols by Hindu Mahasabha radicals
🎯Extremely Important Finding by the COURT: "There was NO RAM TEMPLE UNDER THE STRUCTURE"
Part#2 Revisiting Ancient History to analyse the architectural evidence
🎯The great travesty of justice was that secularism was not give its due at all by the Supreme Court Judgement
Part#3: 1857, 1934 and in 1949. Three egregious attempts were made by Hindutva radicals, CONTRARY TO THE LAW, and claimed the land was "disputed", whatever that means🤷♀️
The epic reveals deeply entrenched gender inequalities of its period. It idealizes a fundamentally unequal social structure where women's experiences are systematically subordinate to male authority
🔎Let's explore lives of Sita, Ahalya, Manodari & Surpanakha
1. Sita
Consistently subjected to male-driven decisions
Her agency is perpetually limited by male authority figures
Repeatedly tested and judged by male standards of "purity" and "honour"
🎯Her worth is predominantly defined through her relationship to men (as wife, daughter)
2. Ahalya, wife of Sage Gautama
Cursed by her husband for alleged infidelity
Punished without fair trial or opportunity to defend herself
Reduced to a stone, waiting for redemption through male intervention (Rama's touch)
😿Symbolizes complete subjugation of women's dignity
Tulsi Gabbard's deep ties to Hindu Nationalism, a compromising geopolitical stance
Gabbard’s political history with Hindu nationalism could make her just as vulnerable to manipulation by the Indian govt as her Russian sympathies could make her vulnerable to manipulation by Putin
Since her entry into national politics, Tulsi Gabbard has cultivated & benefited from ties to United States chapters of the Sangh Parivar
An India-based network of Hindu nationalist advocacy organizations that attempt to influence policy in the UK, Australia, and the U.S.A
Gabbard's parents are from American Samoa—but she’d been a enthusiastic devotee of Science of Identity Foundation, sect of Hare Krishna movement (ISKCON) and got involved in Honolulu politics
She had been actively involved with Hindu-fundamentalist groups and fund-raising events
