'Can women recite the Vedas?' Dharmic reformists versus colonised 'traditionalists'.

@arvindneela writes:

swarajyamag.com/ideas/can-wome…
Birth-based discrimination—whether gender or caste—is not Dharma. It has to go.

While we need not use harsh words while fighting these battles on social media, we also need not compromise on Dharmic justice.

swarajyamag.com/ideas/can-wome…
One does not have to be a woke-feminist and demand that a quota be made for women in chanting of the Vedas.

One also does not need to be 'trad-woke' and label the support for a woman reciting the Upanishad as ‘disgusting’.

Gandhi is definitely not above criticism and blame.

Yet, says @arvindneela, in the grand canvas of history, he explored means to assert an assimilative Hindu identity when the Hindu nation was being attacked by proselytising forces.

That many Hindutva leaders and ideologues have religiously followed the thoughts and actions of Gandhi is self-evident.

What makes it appear like a fantastical claim are the distortions done to Gandhi’s ideals.

Did Savarkar think Gandhi a sissy or is it another case of distortion by 'eminent historians'?

Q: When and where did the second wave begin?

A: Data suggests that the origins of the second wave lie in the heart of the so-called farmers’ agitation, from early January 2021 onwards.

Also, spread of 2nd wave mirrors movement of farmers' protest.

swarajyamag.com/politics/data-…
The data is publicly available—origins of the second wave can be traced to the heart of the so-called farmers’ agitation, from early January 2021.

swarajyamag.com/politics/data-…
Data is clear: the second wave has its origins in the farmers’ protests – exactly as was feared at the time – a full month before fresh, lethal clusters began to ravage Mumbai and Pune.
