How to treat Goras in India in the same way goras treat Indians in Europe.
1. Do not take them shopping
2. Wait for them to invite you to their homes, do not return the invitation.
3. Till they ask, do not suggest the local eating places or best quality local markets.
4. Do not explain how the school system functions. Let them break their heads over the cultural differences
5. Gora atithi is not devo. Gora atithi needs to viewed with tremendous suspicion and xenophobia.
6. Never publicly speak to the goras. Nobody must know you know them.
7. Festival season is the time to not include them. Indians are seldom included in family Christmas celebrations in western Europe. Do not include white people in Diwali or holi celebrations. Let them feel alone in a strange country.
8. Let the Gora struggle to find a good doctor
9. Insult and demean a gora for not knowing any local indian language. Speak to other Indians only in regional language, not English/ European languages so that gora feels out of place.
10. Mock Europe and all things gora, knowing that the gora is already out of place in India.
A truly #decolonized mind will NOT make the gora feel at home in India because there is civilizational memory that these white guests use treachery to colonize India.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Only a slave colonized mind will apply Atithi Devo Bhava on Goras visiting India.

#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?

#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

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.
