The man in the picture is N Arvind, the aide to the Head priest at the Sri Lakshmi Narasimhaswamy Temple in Krishnagiri in Tamil Nadu.

He has been undergoing treatment in Bengaluru since July. Arvind's family has exhausted all their savings and needs our help now. (1/n) ImageImageImage
The 30-year-old used to live on the generosity of the temple devotees and had no health insurance.

Local doctors in Krishnagiri had treated him initially but his condition deteriorated thereafter.

He was shifted to Manipal Hospital (Old Airport Branch) in Bengaluru.

"We have managed with our savings and jewels so far. Arvind's father sold property that was not formally registered. I took 8 lakhs from Bajaj Finserv overdraft account and his uncle gave ₹10 lakhs."

- Manjunath told me over the telephone. (4/n)
An additional ₹1,13,506 was raised through 'Impact Guru', out of which ₹50,000 has already been transferred to the hospital authorities.

The family had initially hoped that Arvind's treatment would be completed within ₹10 lakhs.

However, due to prolonged hospitalisation, the bill has increased by several folds and is likely to be concluded at ₹60 lakhs.

The family has so far managed on their own.

Arvind's family is hoping to raise ₹10 lakhs and has appealed to the Hindu community to come forward and help.

“We are after their fake 33 crores Gods and Goddesses (referring to Hindu deities) and they are roaming around with our golden Buddha.”

- Rajratna Ambedkar, religious supremacist and the great-grand-nephew of BR Ambedkar
This fanatic abused Hindu deities and now planning to play the victim card on the world stage.

“I will meet representatives from Buddhist nations and expose the true plight of Indian Buddhists to them. They will rally after us,” he threatened to defame India abroad.
Rajratna Ambedkar lamented how the socially backward communities have not completely disassociated from their Hindu identity.

"Flaunt your Buddhist identity. In that way, you can connect to the global audience," he suggested.

Feels great to be in Tripura for Durga Puja celebrations after a span of 4 years.

Best part: Less crowd, no woke theme pandals and only Bengali Puja songs (no cheap Bollywood item numbers in pandals).

1/n ImageImageImageImage
Also no BS political posturing and appropriation of Hindu deities for cheap theatrics such as this happen in my hometown.

No mental gymnastics of this level is allowed here

On Sep 25, extremists abused Bangladeshi Hindu cricketer Liton Das for sharing greetings on Mahalaya.

They denounced idol worship, mocked Goddess Durga as an object ‘made of clay’ & hoped that Das would convert to the supposed ‘One True Faith.’

In a Facebook post, the Bangladeshi batsman shared a picture of an idol of Goddess Durga with the caption, “Subho Mahalaya! Mother Durga is arriving.”

I am not surprised that this idiot found Roger Federer's last tournament to play spoilsport.

These so-called 'climate activists' always use 'disruption' as a tool for their theatrics.

Left-wing activists in India have been under the illusion that Islamists are on their side when it came to women's rights.

Kavita Krishnan got a reality check today after she came out in support of the anti-hijab protests in Iran (over the death of #MahsaAmini).
(1/n)
The bone of contention was this social media post! Kavita had hailed the Iranian women, who took off their hijabs in protest over the brutal torture and death of Mahsa Amini. (2/n)
Kavita got slammed by a Sharia enthusiast who made it clear that Islamic laws cannot be compromised in pursuit of women's rights.
