To remove “traces of colonization that still exist in India” @narendramodi would need to disband the IAS and the judiciary.

They are more than “traces.” They are fully colonial.

But yeah changing a flag design is easier, makes good news item.
Absolutely. To the extent that they refuse to do interviews/GDs for officer selection only in English. No Indian language allowed

Jawans are recruited using Indian languages.

Two tier colonial class structure is built in.
What I said.

Officer GD in English only.

Jawans can be recruited via #IndianLanguages.

Two-tier structure.

Litmus test for @narendramodi govt. This has been a persistent demand of the conversion mafia. Will the govt succumb to it?
What fire. The status quo has been no reservation for SC/ST. If it overturns it, that'll be the fire.

The Conversion Mafia lobby has had this as their agenda for decades. It's well-planned out. Looks like they finally got a Supreme Court ready to comply and possibly a government too.

Hindus should be clear. The Indian State won’t save you. The police won’t save you.

In some cases, like in West Bengal, they will assist the mobs who come to kill and rape. At best they will be neutral, will ask you to “compromise.”

What will you do?
You won’t earn any special Brownie points for being “peaceful” when the mob is at your door.
See the story in West Bengal.

Well written. The premise that considers tasks traditionally done by women as "low" and equates "success" to doing well in traditionally male roles.

It comes from the "Eve-complex" in Christianity, where women are an appendage of men. Thus feminine work is less equal.
Absolutely. I believe @rvaidya2000 had written on this.

Breaking joint family=>Pushing nuclear family
Creates needs for more homes, more goods, more appliances.

Similarly
Nuclear family=> Single-parent households

Even more houses and goods sold.

Monotheism is colonialism.

It erases what is sacred to and honored by each diverse tribe by imposing the "god" of one particular tribe on all.

It makes the colonized deny their own traditions, ancestors, stories and experience and exalt that of the colonizer. It is violence.
One cannot understand monotheism by its self-description which claims it is about there being only one god vs "polytheism" which has multiple gods.

But the issue is not one vs multiple "god." It is about privilege one *story* about a god over all others. It is a narrative war.
The narratives of the monotheisms are tribal and exclusive. "God" gave Moses (and only Moses) the commandments, "God" sent Jesus, "his only begotten son", "God" sent the "last prophet" for mankind and so on.

Monotheisms are stuck on ONE narrative, that they hold to be "true."

Good question. Especially for “seculars” but even for so-called “Hindutva” parties.

A recent @GarudaPrakashan book documents mass gang rapes and murders of those who supported BJP in Bengal.

Hindus and “Hindu” party: bleh.
What makes a modern Hindu fight?

1. Extra installment on EMI
2. Someone brushes their car
3. Swiggy delivery is late.

Rape of their sister, murder of brother: bleh.

When these Hindus fought with ballot they were killed with no support from their party.

It’s not optimistic or pessimistic. It is simply the reality.

Some people put their hope at great peril to support a party for change in Bengal who they hoped would stand for Hindus.

Result: gangrape of their 15 year daughter after, till they joined TMC.

Center did nothing.

Everywhere in the world.
Colonization via demography.
A virus also spreads rapidly and survives.

Doesn’t mean one should let it.
I’m not talking about human beings. I’m talking of viruses of the mind. Bad ideas.

Amd any traditional society has those attributes of stable families. Doesn’t need totalitarian Islam which erases diversity of human traditions.
