Serious question.—what did a “Brahmin” ever do to you personally? What is your direct experience?

“One way to decolonize is to come back to our experience from the narratives we have been told.”
Yes the way some pujaris ask dakshina is a problem, but do we realize that the state has impoverished these pujaris and robbed the temples of resources.

They get a pittance. While the Church is rolling in money. Not confiscated by the Govt.
I respect those who have placed restrictions on themselves to nurture a certain energy.

It’d be easier for them to eat whatever and wherever, no? Isn’t it a sacrifice to refuse an invitation like that.

Unless you want them to become like BINOs.

How do you know this—is this your experience? I was not born in a Brahmin household but my understanding is that there are restrictions even within the family regarding who can enter the kitchen or who can touch whom.

Is this because family members are inferior?
That’s certainly an example of degeneration.

But if they’ve broken the rules are they still Brahmins?

Anyone deriving arrogance from their name or the merits of their ancestors without being worthy themselves hardly merits respect.
This seems like one of the recurring negative experiences.

The colonial state robbing Hindu temples dry is not without consequence. It needs to be addressed.

It's funny to see responses to this claiming Britain "unified" India. This has been part of the colonial propaganda that "India was never a nation." Long debunked but people still keep repeating it.

But the short summary is that the Islamic invaders destroyed India culturally and decimated the intellectual output while the British destroyed India economically and psychologically.

As far as I can tell, there is a news blackout on this.

#PfizerSideEffects
Again, don't know the legitimacy of this analysis; but I'm surprised that there is no news discussion of such a big release of data.

"Due to the large numbers of spontaneous adverse event reports received...the MAH has prioritised the processing of serious cases, in order to meet expedited regulatory reporting timelines..."

They had to hire additional staff and triage side effects gathering due to the volume. Image

As #VisionIAS is trending, here is an older thread on #EgalitarianIslam.

"Egalitarian Islam" is a myth manufactured in the 20th century. At no point in history was this true, or even a talking point about Islam. It was retrofitted by revisionist Islamic apologia.
Hindus, from all jatis, including resisted Islamic rule. In some jatis became untouchable *due* to Islamic conquest. Defeated kshatriyas were made to carry night soil in invader camps. They were made untouchable as part of kaffir subjugation.

While Islamic Caliphs introduced "yellow badges" to distinguish "dhimmi" non-Muslim minorities for discrimination (later copied by Popes and Hitler), this kind of untouchability against kaffirs is routinely found in Islamic societies like Pakistan today.

Yes, but in a war-like situation possibly the root TLD registry could even be subverted. One would need to create a parallel resolution system.

Yes, but DNS also resolves recursively. TLDs are routed to their registries. Registries point to the Nameservers for a particular domain. What if the TLD resolution is changed?

For those willing to learn await our new book "The Imperishable Seed: How Hindu Mathematics Changed the World" by IITK PhD @MeruPrastara.

Fibonacci, in his introduction, says he learned Indian mathematics from traders. He was simply transcribing.

Follow @GarudaPrakashan
"Fibonacci in his book Liber Abaci calls the system of calculations modus Indorum or method of the Indians."
No real mathematics developed in Europe till they copied Hindu Mathematics. Imagine calculus (which they also copied) with "Roman Numerals". Or advanced science. @chitraSD
Ha ha, someone "liked" a response I had made to it so it came in my notifications. I figured the new book will help Chitra ji and others.

Because India has destroyed its education system and created scarcity.

India spends $billions of foreign exchange to send its students abroad to educate them. Where they often study under Indian professors. What's wrong with this picture?
The @narendramodi government will make it worse with quotas in teaching staff. The best and brightest will flee, along with $s while India creates more divisions in society and falls further behind China for the mythical "social justice."
