Many in North America now do a “land acknowledgment” before major events, that they are occupying native land.

Imagine if every mosque built on an indigenous temple in India would do that before daily prayers.

Would you support that to promote secularism @Javedakhtarjadu?
The day that you start acknowledging in the misdeeds of your ancestors and of invaders is when you'll actually classify as a liberal @Javedakhtarjadu. Till then you're just a closet jihadi.
Great, yes those are acknowledged. So can you now encourage Muslims to acknowledge the misdeeds of their ancestors as well or is that too hard for you as a #JihadCoolie?
#JihadCoolies are so full of excuses to never ever question their masters.

Why is it so difficult for you to ask for acknowledgement of Islamic atrocities while you’re ready with a laundry list of Hindu ones, including fake stories.

Good thread about the misunderstanding of "trayastrimsati koti" as "330 million gods." It's about 33 types.

It is also important to understand what "gods" means for us. "Devas" are the forces that govern us. For instance, we are governed by time and space and the 5 elements.
These are essentially scientific ideas using a different terminology. Time is represented by the 12 months. These can, for instance, determine cultivation and even our moods. It is simple to understand "devas" as forces or energies that are all around us.

I'm not a Sanskrit scholar, but as I understand, koti here refers to types or kinds. So 33 types of forces...

Lol. Try this exercise. Replace every occurence in your Holy Book where it references kaffirs, or polytheists, or unbeliever with the word "Muslim."

Let me know if that sounds like hate speech to you or not. Just try a few examples.
You can start by explaining verse 98:6. Also how does it read when you substitute polytheists for Muslims?

Please tell me where the Gita refers to Mlechha or condemns those that don’t follow the teaching. Do you know what Krishna tells Arjuna in the end?

Appeared briefly on Arnab's debate on sedition on
@republic. It's not the place for nuance, so here is the nuanced view.

1. We need to look at FOE in totality. Sedition law is one part of it. There are a lot of laws, not just 124A, that are of concern—153A, 505, 295A, 298...
Many of these laws are used arbitrarily, give the state draconian power to arrest people, as we saw in the case of @TajinderBagga and many others. People can be arrested over an innocuous statement or SM post by police acting for vindictive politicians.

2. At the same time...
There are powerful forces, working to undermine India, break India. Section 124A sedition law is both too much and not enough.

Section 124A defines sedition as disaffection towards the *government* of India, not the *nation* of India. This colonial law doesn't get the nation.

Bhagwa is the flag of India before it was "secularized" and an artificial ahistoric flag created.

That "secularization" did not stop inter-community strife, it increased it.
The secular state of India increases religious conflict because it forces naturally plural India into the straightjacket of exclusive religions that needed the creation of secularism in Europe.

The biggest violation of human rights comes from doctrines of exclusion of Christianity and Islam.

That "non-believers" are bound for "hell." This belief has perpetrated unimaginable violence for hundreds of years across the world.

But no "human rights org" will speak of it.
Yes, this is the perfect juxtaposition.

Just like today Hindus say, "all religions are same, what does it matter what path we follow, there is no conflict."

#ChristoIslam: "Others worship Satan. Unbelievers/kaffirs must be 'brought to truth' or eliminated."

Oh, we already know the answer. Each believes the other is going to hell.

Not only that, Protestants believe are Catholics go to hell and vice versa.

Sunni believe Shia go to hell. They both believe Ahmediya go to hell. Every schism hates the other.

Jati endogamy is not the same as "caste discrimination" or "caste hierarchy."

Jatis are cultural groups. Jati endogamy is a form of cultural compatibility for marriage. This is not the same as discriminating against someone in the public sphere and does *not* connote hierarchy.
Jati is a unit of multiculturalism.

Jatis allowed enormous cultural diversity to thrive in India over 1000s of years. Each jati could observe their own way of life without the imposed uniformity of European nationalism or monotheism.

It also allowed integration of outsiders.
This is coming from someone who pretty much broke all rules. I was in a live-in 25 years ago, married outside jati, divorced, have dated across ethnic and religious groups.

But I understand why in-jati marriage preference is a form of seeking compatibility in marriage.
