Nathuram Godse's statement that, "...the 7 conditions that Gandhi had set for breaking the fast started in January 1948 were all anti-Hindu..." We were never told exactly what these terms were when we were taught history in school.
In January 1948
Gandhi was trying for Hindu-Muslim unity through fasting etc. there are superficial references everywhere. So why should Godse say in his speech that all those terms were anti-Hindu?
January 19, 1948 issue of 'The Yorkshire Post' mentions
these 7 conditions. What were the conditions?
Condition 1 - Muslims should be allowed to celebrate their Urus at Mehrauli near Delhi. (There was a mosque of Khwaja Qutbuddin in Mehrauli. It was destroyed in the riots. The Hindus and Sikhs drove out
the Muslims around it. This Khwaja Qutbuddin was supposed to take place on January 26, 1948. But there was a possibility of obstacles in doing so. Gandhi did not want this.)
Condition 2 - Muslims who fled from Delhi should be allowed to return safely.
Condition 3 - Those 118 mosques in Delhi which have been converted into temples should be given back to the Muslims.
Condition 4 - Entire Delhi should be made safe for Muslims.
Condition 5 - Safety of Muslims traveling by rail should be guaranteed.
Condition 6 - Financial boycott imposed by Hindus and Sikhs on Muslims should be withdrawn.
Condition 7 - The remaining parts of Muslim settlements in Delhi should not be used by Hindu or Sikh refugees from Pakistan.
My first thought was, why is protecting Muslims, anti-Hindu?
But then in 1948, why not the same thing for Hindus?Moplah Riots,Direct Action Day,Noakhali etc. saw Hindu Genocide.Violence was happening on both sides.
Didn’t the other sides have the right to protect itself?

I picked up Termites by @abhijitjoag thinking, "I already know the Left is destroying the world." But, @ShefVaidya ma'am insisted that I read this. My father had got a copy for me. After reading it, I realized: even if you think you know this subject, you must read this book.
It's the historical mapping, intellectual genealogy, and precise tracking of how ideological revolutions elsewhere mirror patterns unfolding in India today.
While listening to Sudha Murthy talk about importance of learning history to build the future and horrors of partition where she spoke about Sindhis, reminded me of my conversation with a friend who encouraged me to read about Sindhis - their stories, struggles and rise. These are some real stories of real people.
Hindu Dharma speaks of four Purusharthas—Dharma, Artha, Kama & Moksha.
Marriage is seen as the gateway to achieving all four.
Scriptures prescribe duties for every human, including continuing the lineage with good offspring.
In the Gita (7.11), Krishna says: “Dharma-aviruddho bhooteshu kamo’smi” — Desire that does not violate dharma is divine.

Sanatana Dharma lays out the Ashrama System:
1️⃣ Brahmacharya – celibate student life, vidyārjana.
2️⃣ Grihastha – family life, righteous wealth earning & raising children.
3️⃣ Vanaprastha – withdrawal from worldly life.
4️⃣ Sannyasa – total renunciation.
Each stage helps one walk toward the Purusharthas.
🧵 3/8
A healthy society needs people who are well-read, well-bred & well-fed.
Thus, raising good offspring is a responsibility.
A balanced marriage—where husband & wife understand each other’s needs—prevents friction.
A fractured family → fractured upbringing.
Why did a High Court have to send CISF commandos so that Hindus could light a simple Karthigai Deepam lamp?
Why did the State block them even after clear judicial orders?
And why should every Hindu pay attention to what happened at Thiruparankundram?
Let us break it down.
What is the issue? 🔍
• Thiruparankundram hill houses an ancient Murugan temple and a Dargah
• For centuries, Hindus lit Karthigai Deepam at the Deepathoon, a stone pillar at the peak
• Because of “law and order” situation around the Dargah zone, officials shifted the ritual to a lower mandapam
• Court records confirm the Deepathoon stands on temple land as per a 1920s ruling
• Devotees went to Court to restore the traditional practice
What does “law and order” mean here? 🚨
Court documents reveal the State repeatedly used:
• Fear of “clashes” if the lamp was lit at the peak
• Claims that Hindus trying to reach the hill might create trouble
• Blanket restrictions under Section 163 BNSS (earlier 144 CrPC)
• Police reports “potential mob activity”
• The Court noted the Dargah agrees to Deepam being lit beyond 15 metres
Why the Outrage Against Samantha’s Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha Exposes a Bigger Problem
1️⃣
The reaction to Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Linga Bhairavi Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha has created a strange alliance:
Leftists and some “pro-Dharma” folks united in outrage.
In Sanatana Dharma, TRUTH is the authority.
Yoga didn’t come from books.
Books came from Yogis who realized the Truth.
Realized Yogis create.
Scriptures follow.
Never the other way around.
3️⃣
So asking for “scriptural permission” before a new Yogic process is like asking a scientist for “ancient approval” before discovering something new.
That’s not Sanatana.
That’s textbook Abrahamic/colonial thinking.
