Why is Islam and beef synonymous in the Indian subcontinent, despite cows not being plenty in Saudi Arabia ?

🧵 1/4…
Almost 98% Indian subcontinent Muslims are converted from Hinduism/Buddhism/Jainism at some point of time in history after the invasions started. They were converted forcibly, by being force-fed beef in many cases.

Yet today Beef is synonymous with Islam here. In fact, after marrying into a Muslim family, often the first thing done after conversion to Islam, is being fed beef. This eating beef is an essential step in conversions of Hindus to Islam in the Indian subcontinent, and elsewhere.

In Saudi Arabia, the main livestock consists of Sheep (63%), Goat (30%), Camel (5%) and Cattle (2%).
These figures are despite a huge push in Saudi Arabia's cattle and dairy industry in recent times.
Yet when the foreign Muslim invaders came to India, they suddenly started considering cow as an important part of their diet. The invaders who were used to eating goat and sheep meat, (remember Bakr-i-Eid), suddenly became voracious proponents of cow meat. Why?
The answer lies in Islamic invaders' need to not just forcefully subjugate the Hindus but also to humiliate them. They realised they can achieve this by widespread Destruction of temples and Cow Slaughter. That is how Beef was first connected with Islam.

3/4

The Islamic invaders realized early during their conquests that Cow was considered sacred by Hindus. So to attack the Hindu religious system, cow slaughter and public beef eating became a process to humiliate the Hindus after a defeat, and also to attack the very basis of their socio-religious foundations.
Moinuddin Chisti of Ajmer, who was part of Sultan Muhammad Ghauri's war against Prithviraj Chauhan, had his followers bring a cow daily to a temple in Ajmer, slaughter it and cook kebabs, to humiliate the local Hindus.

This false claim that the term Hindus was coined by the Arabs in the 8th century CE, was a fertile imagination of Romila Thapar and D.N. Jha. They however did not explain the basis of their conclusion, nor did they cite any evidences in the support of their claims. Even Arab Muslim writers did not make such claims.

Another popular theory among these category of writers is that the word Hindu is a Persian corruption of Sindhu, resulting from the Persian practice of replacing S with H. Even this theory has no supporting evidences. In fact the word Persia itself contains S which should have become Perhia, if this theory was correct.

📍Epigraphic Evidence of the term Hindu prior to 8th century CE -

The Hamadan, Persepolis and Nagsh-I-Rustam Inscriptions of Persian king Darius, mention certain people Hindu, as included in his empire. These inscriptions are dated between 20-485 BCE. This establishes that the term Hi (n) du was in use more than 500 years before the Common Era.

📍Hind and its derivative forms are used more than 70 times in Ashokan inscriptions. For instance in the Jaugadha, separate rock edict II, the lines 3 & 4, read-
“All men are my people. I desire for my people that they may be provided with all welfare and happiness. I desire for my people, including the people of Hind and beyond and I desire for all men.”

The Edict further, says in lines 7 & 8 - “Dhamma may be followed and the people of Hind and beyond may be served.” The Ashokan inscriptions establish the antiquity of the name Hind for India to at least third century B.C.E.

📍Evidence from Pahlvi Avesta:

In the Avesta, Hapta-Hindu is used for Sanskrit Sapta-Sindhu, the Avesta being dated variously between 5000-1000 B.C.E. This again indicates that the term Hindul is as old as the word Sindhu. Sindhu is a Vedic term used in the Rigeda. And therefore, the term Hindu is as ancient as the Rigveda.
In the Avestan Gatha Shatir, 163rd Verse speaks of the visit of Veda Vyas to the court of Gustashp and in the presence of Zorashtra, Veda Vyas introduces himself saying [man marde am Hind jijad. (I am man born in Hind).

No way is the word Hindu Arabic in origin!
It’s an absolute lie or distortion of facts, whichever way one wants to see it!

📍The Greek term Indoi is a softened form of Hindu, where the initial H was dropped as the Greek alphabet has no aspirate. This term Indoi was used in Greek literature by Hekataeus (late 6th century BCE) and Herodotus (early 5th century BCE), thus establishing that the Greeks were using this derivative of Hindu as early as 6th century BCE.

📍The Hebrew Bible uses Hodul for India , which is a Judaic form of Hindu. The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) is considered earlier than 300 BCE. Today the Hebrew spoken in Israel also uses Hodu for India.

📍The Chinese used the term Hien-tu for Hindu about 100 BCE; While describing movements of the Sai-Wang (100 BCE). The Chinese annals state that the Sai-Wang went towards the South and passing Hien-tu reached Ki-Pin.
Later Chinese travellers Fa-Hien (5th century CE), and Huen-Isang (7th century CE) use a slightly modified term Yintu , but the affinity to Hindu is still retained. This term Yintul continues to be used till today.

I Have often seen Leftists and mlecchas mocking Sri Krishna about His 16108 ‘gopinis.’

Here is the story of what really took place.
1/6 🧵….

The story is from Dwapara Yuga -

A cruel asura name Narakasura had kidnapped sixteen thousand girls. His cruelty was so well known that everyone trembled at his very name.

The gods were helpless against this asura. The asura had a boon that he would not die at the hands of anyone, except his mother.

This was a strange gift of immortality. Can a mother be a son-killer?
….

2/6

With the thought of saving the girls, many kings, rishis, and gods went to Dwarka to seek help from Sri Krishna.

As they narrated, Vasudeva listened to everything with a calm and smiling face, but said nothing. Something of a smirk even appeared on His face. Seeing this smirk Indra deva lost his patience, and he spoke up sharply and sarcastically. Hearing the sarcasm, Dwarkadhish's smile vanished for a moment, and Indra had a vision reminding him of how as Gopala, Krishna had crushed Indra’s pride by carrying the Govardhan hill.

As Indra restrained his anger, suddenly the queen of Dwarka, Satyabhama, entered the assembly hall. She had heard all about the torture and pain of the 16108 girls and was red with anger. It was then the queen of Dwarka promised to fight Narakasura.

3/6

At this promise the face of Dwarkadhish filled with humor. It was His initial indifference that had led to Indra’s open outburst in the court, owing to which Satyabhama came to know everything about the cruel asura.

This Narakasura was the son of Varahdeva and Bhudevi. After receiving a boon from Mahadeva through hard penance, he had become a powerful tyrant.

It was impossible for Narakasura to die at the hands of anyone, other than Bhudevi.

Sri Krishna knew that this war was not His, or anyone else’s war. This war belonged to Bhudevi, who had incarnated in the form of Satyabhama. Therefore, he tactfully instigated His wife, and convinced her to join the war of her own free will.

Mother of Frauds - as 🧵 1/6

"Turns out she (Mother Teresa) was a child trafficker, selling babies and funnelling between $50-100 million/year to the Vatican. Mother Teresa's connections include Baby Doc Duvalier, the Haitian dictator, Saving's and Loan criminal Charles Keating, and Robert Maxwell (the father of Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking partner, Ghislaine Maxwell).

And here's the kicker! Mother Teresa opened the D.C. based Home for Infant Children with none other than Hillary Clinton. This orphanage of sorts was quietly closed in 2012."

MT's Christianity was based on an obsession with suffering and death and that influenced her 'care giving' work. She saw the struggles of those in poverty as admirable, and believed that it brought them closer to God. She likened their suffering to Christ on the cross and encouraged and practiced it within her 'hospitals' and 'orphanages'
Doctors who visited her institutions were shocked at their terrible conditions. Medical care was administered by volunteers who had no medical training, hygiene was almost non-existent, needles were reused until they became blunt, pain management was non-existent, and the caregiving staff were not able to differentiate between those who were dying, and those who had curable illnesses.

Mother Teresa's caregiving meant building a ‘home for the dying', where "people who lived like animals" could come to “die like angels.”

She told those in pain that they were being “kissed by Jesus"; yet on her own deathbed she preferred to accept the very best medical care being offered to her.
One reporter who went undercover in one of her Kolkata homes described the conditions as “squalid” with nothing on the walls but pictures of the “mother” and attendants that laughed at children who had soiled themselves after being tied to beds all day. There was no dignity in the supposed care of these white-robed nuns.

📍Another site found, comparable to Sinauli.

Recent Excavations at the Tilwara Sakin in Baraut, District Bagpat, Uttar Pradesh, by the @ASIGoI have found burial remains from the Chalcolithic period.
These findings are giving a more detailed look into the Copper Age burial rites and customs. An important finding includes detailed geometric design engraved onto copper, which shows presence of advanced metal artistry in India during the Chalcolithic era.

This Tilwara site is just 10km away from the Sinauli site, which had earlier revealed Copper Age burial customs and chariots.

Some more photos from the site.

“The important findings include ceramic assemblages tied to funerary rites, copper objects, bricks, and beads” ~ as stated by the ASI.

In my previous post that showed the Christian leanings of Max Müller, I was asked to show how Max Müller mistranslated the Vedas, here are two examples ~

📍Katha Upanishad (Chapter 1, Verse 23)
नायमात्मा प्रवचनेन लभ्यो न मेधया न बहुना श्रुतेन। यमेवैष वृणुते तेन लभ्यस्तस्यैष आत्मा विवृणुते तनूं स्वाम्‌

Max Müller translated it as -‘That Self, cannot be gained by the Veda, nor by understanding, nor by much learning. He whom the Self chooses, by him the Self can be gained. The Self chooses him (his body) as his own.’

Now check the translation by Sri Aurobindo ~ ‘The Self is not to be won by eloquent teaching, nor by brain power, not by much learning: but only he whom his Being chooses can win Him: for to him this Self bares His body.’

Max Müller in his translation modified ‘Pravachan’ to represent ‘Veda’, which was corrected by Sri Aurobindo, as ‘eloquent teaching.’

Thus, Müller’s version downplays the importance of the Vedas for self-realization, giving them an inferior position.

📍Katha Upanishad (Chapter 1, Verse 25)

यस्य ब्रह्म च क्षत्रं च उभे भवत ओदनः। मृत्युर्यस्योपसेचनं क इत्था वेद यत्र सः ॥

Max Müller’s translation- ‘He to whom the sages are as meat and heroes as food for his eating and Death is an ingredient in His banquet, how thus shall one know of Him where He abides?’

Sri Aurobindo writes : ‘He for whom priesthood and nobility both are as food and death is as a sauce, who really knows where it is?’

Here Müller adds the word ‘meat,’ when the Sanskrit word ‘Odan’, simply means cooked rice, and has no association with ‘meat.’ Müller’s addition of ‘meat,’ puts in a word that is not there in the original verse.

Max Müller helped the British in slowly cutting off the Hindus from their original religious and cultural heritage. His translations with their subtle distortions alienated the Hindus from their ancient heritage. Since he did a lot of translations, these got widely spread, causing irreparable damages.

There are two more narratives that were started by him to show Hindu -Indian civilisation as an inferior one -

1. AIT theory, which claimed Aryans came from outside, starting the Aryan-Dravidian rift, and

2. Sanskrit was a foreign language.

Müller’s translations and narratives unfortunately have had a long lasting negative impact on the collective consciousness of the Hindus. Not only was the Hindu society divided, there was created a strong sense of cultural inferiority.

This was later further reinforced by the Marxist-I$lamist ‘academicians’ post independence.

📍Later Müller changed his opinions, and his translations were much more accurate without the deceptions, and these works were really appreciable. He also broke the myth of the Aryan race myth that he had himself created.

📍However his initial phase of prolific writings, with the distortions got wide publication thanks to the British regime, and did the intended damage on Hindu society. The effects are still visible among Hindus who still believe in myths like the AIT, indo-islamic architecture, inferiority of ancient Indian medical systems, etc.
