#Decolonization is working well when the ilk of @sagarikaghose start writing stuff like "India should move past the decolonisation debate".

Who wants to go first to destroy her narrative?

@IndiGenBharat @Sushmita4Rights @Birdie4canary Who wants to go first to destroy her narrative?
#Decolonisation is just beginning in India. The Raj is still not dead in colonized minds in India. There is no debating that decolonisation is the need of the hour. English language is not a measure of intelligence.
PG Wodehouse, Shakespeare are not taught in Britain. Why are they taught in India? Britain’s imperial desires #Racist #Literature wanted to influence Indian social life style, culture and literature of Indian subcontinent. #Decolonize
It is a crying shame that cricket has become so popular in India at the demise of traditional Indian, more inclusive games. @SangSri29 #Decolonize
British MPs and PMs are seen travelling London Underground because a rising tide lifts all boats. Make Indian infra as great and MPs in India will be riding air conditioned metros in India too. #Decolonize
There is enough around to observe that English education dumbs down the average Indian. Anglophone Indians don't learn Maths, Science and Economics in indian languages. In Germany, China, Japan, you learn these in their lingos. Because they OWN their economy. #Decolonize
English is NOT a link language in India. Indians from Assam and Kerala can communicate without #Decolonize
Bharat needs a #decolonized grand narrative. Otherwise the world majority sees the word Bharat and think "Bharat detected opinion rejected". This is due to years and years of anti-bharat-brainwashing by English.
in the road to #decolonisation, @sagarikaghose , you are ignorant of how far ahead Africa is as a continent compared to India and you want to silence the debate on decol already? Shame on you.

@Kdenkss @ChimamandaReal Mallence Bart-Williams
The British Raj is NOT dead at all in your mind if you still think European enlightenment helped India. It is India which helped Europe GAIN enlightenment and rebirth. ReNAISSANCE. A truly decolonized mind would know this fact. You do not. Bade aaye decol par op ed likhne wale
#Decolonization is just about starting in India. The road ahead is a long one. Decolonization is just one small step to stop the missionaries from forcefully converting all of Hindu India using English language and #EnglishLiterature as carrot at end of stick.
When Indian nationals, Indian influences begin exotifying the great indian #braindrain Indian does not need enemies.
of course sagarikaghose will write to defend colonization and stop the #decolonization that is forging on in India since 2014. Look who her paymasters TOI are! TOI is brand of Bennett & Coleman. And this is their history.
Our present is built on our past.

PEN, Booker, Nobel, all felicitate the ones who critique a global south nation as a citizen of their own land.

No European ever gets a prize for critiquing their land, no euro American gets a prize for critiquing theirs. #Asange

The pattern is there for all who wish to see

Which day you celebrate New Years indicates your religious affiliation
Thread
90% Hindu Indians celebrate 31 dec as New Year's eve getting drunk and dancing like monkeys to celebrate and "have fun" without knowing that 31 dec is a Christian religious festival called Silvester.1/n
Silvester is the religious name of New Year's Eve of 31 Dec. Named after Pope Sylvester, the Catholic Pope who converted Roman Emperor Constantine into Christianity. Constantine wiped out Paganism in Europe.
Constantine was instrumental in things like replacing Temple of Jupiter with Notre Dame in Paris. In France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Canada and Switzerland, the 'April Fish' is used to mock the Pagans by sticking Ichthus fish on their back.

(Thread) Why a #dhoti or #sari is #sattvik
1. Handwoven on a handloom, it is a product of patience and precision.
2. The attire is a breathable adjustable unstitched fabric that combats fast fashion pollution since there is no need to use and throw . 1/n
3. Can be #adjusted to increasing or decreasing waistlines without worry or trouble.
4. Keeps you cool in sweltering heat.
5. A #dharmic way of life involves #meditative chanting during the production of thread on a #charkha (Spinning wheel). 2/n
The clothes made from the thread thus become #sattvik. An individual who wears an #unstitched fabric receives #Chaitanya or #spiritual healing, since every thread in an uncut cloth remains intact and is able to spread waves of Chaitanya all over the cloth. 3/n

Just as there is problem with describing every little misfortune as 'trauma', there is problem describing the tiniest critique as "hate" or "venom". If it is a criticism against something your conditioning has taught you to praise it, it is your own #ConfirmationBias, not hate.
"Hate" is being used to describe an increasingly wide array of opinions/comments. By today's standards, it can be caused by a critique, reading something negative without warning or even watching upsetting news about something the masses are not conditioned 2 think negatively abt
Hate speech includes aggressive words, incitement to violence, true threat, libel or slander, and hostile environment. Free speech is a widely used right for people to speak without distress regarding retribution, censorship, misleading marketing.

Christians considered rose to be symbolic of paganism and their oppressors, the Romans, and were warned by church leaders not to plant it. How could a rose be ignored? In time, rose became a Christian symbol. Crusaders during the dark ages brought the rose to Europe.
European monasteries preserved the tradition of rose and required that at least one monk be skilled in botany and knowledgeable about the virtues of rose. The Christians decided a white rose represents Christ's purity and a red rose represents Christ's sacrificial blood.
Early Christians borrowed the idea to venerate the rose from the Romans and the Greeks. The rose was sacred to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, and to her Roman equivalent, Venus. Roman emperors filled their baths with rose water and sat on carpets of rose petals.
