The more one looks, it seems the demographic window for chIna adventurism is rather limited -- whether they want to conquer Taiwan or invade India or even, for that matter, Mongolia in a lamaistic frenzy. The emperor has to move in his current term. So 1 can interpret his pact
with the rUs as giving the space for just that. The intention of the mahAmlechCha-led pa~nchanetraka-s is to force H as cannon fodder against the chIna-s. Yet we can see how, as predicted, the gardabhin-s are trying their best to foment trouble in bhArata with 1st responders.
How does this square with the hope of using H as cannon fodder against the Han. The conspiracy theory goes thus: if H are left to themselves, they would dictate their own foreign policy -- I chose when & how to react to the chIna incursions. However, if they are weakened by the
pa~nchanetraka-backed 1st responders it would both embolden the chIna-s to move against H & at the same time, make the H paradoxically more dependent on mahAmlechCha-s for assistance as the old rUs ally seems to have been drawn away by the new alliance with the Han. Thus, rather
than fight the chIna-s directly, the mahAmlechCha& their allies would like to engineer a chIna-H clash that would weaken both -- a desired objective in their highly predictive geopolitical framework -- realism. These may be things on the agenda of the new praNidhi they have sent
masquerading as a dUta. Everything else, widespread anti-H action in the occident, paTTadroha etc entirely as predicted. Now the issue is whether the piNDaka-prabhUta-ShaNDachakra would remain in power among the mahAmlechCha. IMO they have figured out the nAri~Nga, hence he would
probably not be able to come back. Moreover, the nAri~Nga-anugAmin antaryuddha might weaken the hastin allowing the duShTa-gardabhin-s to retain & tighten their control aided by sorAdi- & guggulu-bhejAdi- mahAduShTAH & their new mithyAbuddhi weapons

Could a game with the ball have been invented very deep in time in Eurasia before the separation of the ancestors of the core 1st Americans from the remaining Eurasians? Or was it independently invented by the core 1st Americans in meso-America & convergently in Eurasia? Most
people seem to accept the latter. It meso-America the ball game was often accompanied by the ritual slaughter of the losers. An the ball is believed to have been vulcanized in some site by sulfur from burning human remains. It is interesting that a motif of the killing of 2
cosmogonic figures One-Death & Seven-Death in a ball game. We have come across a version of killing of the heroes with a bladed-ball. In the H world umA& rudra are said to have killed to daityas, vidala& utpala, with a ball in course of their game. The origin myth of the
The storming of the citadels of science, tech& medicine in the occident by navyonmAda is no surprise to its careful observers. The proclivity towards that disease of the mind was already quite deep even by the 1990s and earlier --sooner or later the pathogen was to totally take
over the host. Similarly, it seems the H have a high degree of natural susceptibility to navyonmAda unlike some of the prAchya peoples. Thus, it ripping through an already immuno-compromised H population is not entirely a matter of surprise. Saw snippets of a video of malla on a
H woman's daughters falling to the disease. Nothing unexpected:
Not saying it is a foolproof strategy but we have always insisted that H should aggressively teach their kids self-non-self discrimination -- not just positive things.
There is an interesting parallel across steppe-derived civilizations that persisted across time & even post-settlement. Did the steppe-derived empires have a capital? The Chingizid great Khans invested in building a grand capital, Qaraqorum whose etymology is uncertain. Today
it is a fairly remote township near Erdene Zuu. A relative who visited it said he found it to be a great place for meditation in solitude. Chingiz Khan rallied his people in an assembly of yurts at Qaraqorum before campaigns but the more permanent structures were built by his son
Ogodei. He is said to have installed several robots there which have striking parallels to those constructed by the great bhojadeva paramAra. It suggests that such technology had survived & reached Mongolia in the 200 years after him. 1st person accounts survive of how the robots
A shaiva deposit box from the champa kingdom, likely the 1100s during the reign of jaya harivarman -- the garbhanyAsa of the pratiShTha-tantra-s with vR^iShabha-s& either the bhuvaneshvara-s or vidyeshvara-s.The deposit with various items was placed beneath the site of the temple
The garbhanyAsa is performed after the prathameShTaka-nyAsa where 4 bricks corresponding to the 1st step in the actual temple construction are laid. It connects the pratiShTha ritual to the vaidika piling of chiti-s with first layer of bricks & a deposit with 5 heads including
in old practice, a freshly severed human head obtained from a cemetery. In the pratiShThA tradition the deposit box is filled with minerals, gold leaves, gems& image of snakes -- signifying the nAga guardians of subterranean wealth. saiddhAntika texts like dIptAgama, suprabheda,
There is a common belief among many mlechCha-s that somehow they are doing a oneway favor to the foreigners they are "training". What they don't get is some of the most important scientific discoveries made in the US in the past ~30 years were due non-pa~nchantraka foreigners
Those discoveries in turn have gone on to provide employment for legions of mlechCha-s researchers who would take much longer to reach where they are on their own.
Importantly, they are also getting these services for cheap. While not widely acknowledged, a H scientist was typically notably lesser than even less qualified mlechCha-s or even chIna-s in the same field. Usually it was mlechCha>chIna>H
Timur, the founder of the so-called Mogol dynasty of India, was originally not from Mogholistan. He was a descendent of Qarachar Barlas a bek in the army of Chingiz Khan. The core Mogholistan was the Eastern Chagadai ulus. After one of their Khans Temur converted to marUnmAda he
he launched into fury of jihads & in the end they probably controlled the whole of Uighuristan converting the Uighurs in toto. The prominent clan of Mongol beks of Mogholistan, Dughlats also conquered the southern regions shown as their possessions which at some point encompassed
the "oases" cities of Khotan, Yarkhand and Kashgar. ghazi Timur was born in Shahrisabz, the red dot in the map provided above. While his bloody jihads carried him over vast swaths of Asia he finally died at the edge of core Mogholistan in what's today Kazakhstan not far from he
