The truth of Karl Marx💢🚨
This is what happens when you are intellectualy absolutely corrupt to the core . Like M.K. Stalin you install the statue of Karl Marx!!

Karl Marx wrote his Communist Manifesto using 600 gold currency coins funding from his Friend Friedrich Engels.

Karl Marx started writing his magnum opus in the library of his distant cousin Nathan Rothschild with Nathan Rothschild issuing a Cheque of grand sum of .oney to Karl Marx to fund his word.

Karl Marx fathered an illegitimate son, Frederick Demuth (born 1851), with the family’s housekeeper, Helene "Lenchen" Demuth.

Helene Demuth gave birth to Frederick Demuth on 23 June 1851 in the Marx home of 28 Dean Street, Soho

To protect Marx's marriage and reputation, his close collaborator Friedrich Engels claimed paternity, a secret that emerged through a deathbed confession to Eleanor Marx.
In the pic - Helene Demuth the maid who fathered illegitimate son of Karl Marx namedImage
1. In his 1962 biography of Marx, Werner Blumenberg, who at the time was head of the German department of the International Institute of Social History (IISH) in Amsterdam, quoted excerpts from a letter he had discovered in the IISH’s archives which revealed that Marx had fathered an illegitimate son.
The life long benefactor and friend of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels confessed to the youngest daughter of Karl Marx, Eleanor Marx about this long kept secret at his death bed.

In the pic - Frederick Demuth, illegitimate son of Karl MarxImage
2. The letter, dated 2 and 4 September 1898, was written by Louise Freyberger née Strasser, Engels’s former secretary and the first wife of Karl Kautsky, to August Bebel, the chairman of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, and told an improbably melodramatic tale of a deathbed confession by Engels that Frederick Demuth, who had been born out of wedlock to Marx’s housemaid Helene Demuth in 1851, was in fact Marx’s own son.Image

FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES:
Unsealed Doc EFTA02420041 confirms: In 2010, Kapil Sibal & Sam Pitroda attended a high-society Gala in NYC hosted by the International Institute of Education (IIE).
🧵
Tickets: $1,250. Tables: $12,500.
Why does this matter?
Look at who funds the IIE to run "India Centric" programs:
🔹 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (Health "Capacity
Building")
🔹 Ford Foundation ("Social Change" Leaders)
🔹 George Soros’ OSF (Civil Society Scholars)
🔹 Rockefeller Foundation (Smart Power India)
🔹 Carnegie Corp (Academic Partnerships)
and
Henry Luce foundation (Luce Scholars India)

Mr. Sibal was "honored" at this event. Connecting the dots yet? 🦅🇮🇳

#EpsteinFiles #KapilSibal #SamPitroda #Soros #IndiaImage
1. Rockefeller Smart Power India (SPI)

1. Mukund Rajan (Chairman, Board of Directors)
The most significant "connection" is familial and social rather than professional.

Family Tie (Raghuram Rajan): Mukund Rajan is the brother of Raghuram Rajan (former RBI Governor). Raghuram Rajan.

2. Jaideep Mukherji (CEO)
The connection here is functional and governance-based. Under his leadership, Smart Power India has partnered with state governments to implement energy projects, including those ruled by the Congress party.

Rajasthan Government Partnership (Ashok Gehlot Era): SPI worked closely with the Congress-led Rajasthan government (under former CM Ashok Gehlot) to modernize the state's power distribution.

Chhattisgarh Government (Bhupesh Baghel Era): SPI has engaged with the Chhattisgarh Renewable Energy Development Agency (CREDA) during the Congress administration to promote decentralized renewable energy (DRE) solutions for rural livelihoods.Image
2. Luce Scholars Program (India Placements)

Radhika Shroff

Role: Member, Board of Directors (Henry Luce Foundation).

Significance: Appointed to the board recently (August 2025), she is a key voice in the foundation's governance. Notably, she is herself an alumna of the Luce Scholars Program (placed in Thailand previously). She is a Managing Director at Nuveen (a major investment management firm).

he Henry Luce Foundation does not have its own office in India. Instead, the Luce Scholars Program is administered in Asia by The Asia Foundation. The "leadership" that manages the India placements—selecting host organizations, mentoring scholars, and handling logistics—sits within The Asia Foundation's New Delhi office.

Nandita Baruah
Role: Country Representative, India (The Asia Foundation).
Responsibility: As the head of the India office, she oversees the team that facilitates Luce Scholars' entry into India. Her team is responsible for identifying the "host organizations" (NGOs, think tanks, cultural bodies) where scholars work.

Centre for Policy Research (CPR) and SEWA (Self Employed Women’s Association host Luce scholars in India for mentorship programs.Image

🚨 BREAKING: The Activist Industrial Complex has found a new enemy.
It’s not a politician.
It’s not a guru.
It’s code.
Ladies and Gentlemen, say Hello to "The Brahmin AI." 🤖🙏
The new chapter in the global caste narrative has dropped, and it’s more ridiculous than you think.
A Thread 🧵👇
#AI #Caste #Tech

The Set Up
Finally, after classifying all the lesser mortals under the sky, the "Seculars," the Anti-Caste Activists, and the Narrative Builders have run out of humans to cancel. So, they turned to the servers.
Apparently, Python scripts have a Varna now. 🐍📉

The Core Argument
Let’s check: How much BRAHMIN is the AI❓
Is ChatGPT waking up at 4 AM to do Sandhyavandanam?
Does Gemini refuse to eat onions?
No.
But according to the new "Academic Polarization" playbook, if an algorithm prioritizes logic, pattern recognition, and merit, it is inherently oppressive.

The "Why" ?
Why is this narrative being pushed? Because Tech was the last frontier based on competence, not identity. By labeling AI as "Casteist" or "Brahminical," the goal is simple: Control the input.
Rig the output.
Import the "Reservation" model into the Neural Networks. 🧠🚫

The Punchline
"The Brahmin AI" is a boogeyman created to keep the grievance industry alive.
If the AI gives you facts you don't like, it’s not an error. It’s "Digital Untouchability."
The mental gymnastics required to link Silicon Valley code to Ancient Indian social structures deserves a Gold Medal. 🥇🤸‍♂️

The Call to Action
Make no mistake. This isn't about equality. It's about colonizing the digital space with the same broken politics that ruined the physical one.
Don't let them gaslight you.
RT if you think Code has no Caste. 🔄
Like if you trust Math more than Activists. ❤️Image
1. The trail

Historically if you look at the kind of damage which has been done by the leftists academics to India's institutes is unfathomable.
Pre 1947
We had European scholars/ academics writing Christian missionary versions of our scriptures.
Post 1947
We have had our indigenous brown sepoys who took great pride in the desecration and distortion of of our scriptures, our social ethos and eidos while terming Ramayana and Mahabharata as a myth.

The latest UGC Equity guidelines was just another extension of this Academic - Activist - Institutional - Industrial Complex.

Just for a memory shake up, check the below list and see for yourself!!
Do our children deserve this kind of divisive, polarizing rants in our academic institutes in the name of research funded by Tax Payor money??
All of these 86 publications are based on:

1. Ramayana Mahabharat are a myth.
2. Upper caste dominance in academic institutes
3. Upper caste academic depriving lower caste academics from resources and faculty positions
4. Upper caste academics control everything in academicsImage
2. The Loudmouths

Even if you check left aligned media platforms, they are super busy in driving this propaganda to the hilt and with total shameless propaganda bordering very close to the proverbial profanities!!Image

🧵 THE ANATOMY OF LAWFARE: The Indira Jaising & Anand Grover Files

How do you dismantle a nation's sovereignty using its own laws? 🇮🇳⚖️

A deep dive into the funding, foreign connections, and "anti-establishment" networks of India's most powerful legal power couple.

A thread on Money, Influence, and Dissent.

Read on..........Image
1. The Money heist

Between 2006-2015, the Lawyers Collective (LC) received approx. INR 32.39 CRORE in foreign contributions.

Who paid?
🇺🇸 Ford Foundation: ~₹7.2 Cr
🇨🇭 Open Society (Soros): ~₹4.1 Cr
🇺🇸 Levi Strauss: Part of ~₹15.3 Cr US total

Why? "Secularism" & "Policy Advocacy."

Much has been written about the foreign funding received by Indira Jaisingh and her husband Anand Grover through their non profit "The Lawyers Collective", especially form The Open Society Foundations but two organisations where both husband and wife were members and fierce advocates are:

1. Committee for Release of Political Prisoners (CRPP)

The CRPP is a "frontal organization" for the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist).
Investigations by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and state police forces (e.g., Telangana Police) have found that the CRPP receives funding and directives directly from the CPI (Maoist) to carry out activities that align with the banned outfit's agenda.
The NIA has labeled the CRPP, along with other organizations like the Persecuted Prisoners Solidarity Committee (PPSC), as a frontal organization of the CPI (Maoist) in its charge sheets

Rona Wilson, the Public Relations Secretary of the CRPP, was arrested in 2018 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for alleged links to the CPI (Maoist) and for facilitating funding for their activities. Balla Ravindranath, the general secretary, has also been named in police affidavits describing the organization as a Maoist front.

2. Indian People's Tribunal (IPT)

The Indian People's Tribunal on Environment and Human Rights (IPT), also known as the Independent People's Tribunal, was established in 1993 as an initiative of the Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) and the Socio-Legal Information Centre (SLIC). Consequently, its operations are supported by the funding ecosystem of its parent bodies.
both the Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) and the Socio-Legal Information Centre (SLIC) have received massive funding from the Open Society foundations of George Soros till 2016 just like Indira Jaisisngh's The Lawyers Collective.Image
3. THE ASG CONFLICT: SERVING INDIA OR DONORS?

While Indira Jaising was the Additional Solicitor General (ASG) of India (2009-2014), representing the sovereign state, she allegedly received ~₹96 Lakh from foreign funds.

Violating FCRA? The Home Ministry thought so. You can't serve the Govt and foreign donors simultaneously.

The incredible true story of how a single recovered PL-15 transformed the Astra missile from a standard BVR into a sniper rifle for AWACS. 🧵
During the Operation Sindoor, A Pakistani pilot panic-fired a Chinese PL-15 into the grey zone towards a IAF Rafale Fighter. He thought he was safe.
He wasn’t.
The missile didn’t explode. It landed intact. And in 4 hours, DRDO engineers uncovered a secret that just boosted the IAF’s kill zone by 50%.
Here is the story of how a "dud" missile became India’s greatest strategic windfall.
China stole the tech from the US. Sold it to Pakistan. And Pakistan accidentally airmailed it to India..😂

The PL-15 "game changer" wasn't the motor—it was the fuel. CL-20.

How DRDO cracked the "impossible" chemistry in 6 months to turn the Astra Mk-1 into a 160km monster without changing a single bolt.

Look at this image. That’s not just scrap metal. That’s a billion-dollar R&D budget delivered to DRDO by a foolish adversary.

Because of one unexploded PL-15, the Indian Air Force just collapsed a 10-year development timeline into 6 months.

The tables have turned. Made in China. Refined in India. Ready to burn. 🔥

They claimed it was a 200km Apex Predator. Physics proved them wrong. DRDO proved them obsolete.
#IndianAirForce #DRDO #DefenseNews #AstraMissile #Geopolitics #India #China #MilitaryTech #PL15Image
1. The Incident:
A Pakistani J-10 pilot found himself locked up by an Indian Rafale. Panic set in.
He didn't have the position, but he had a weapon his Chinese suppliers promised was an apex predator: The PL-15.
He fired blindly into the Grey Zone, praying for a miracle.
The miracle didn't happen. The missile burned hot, exhausted its first pulse, and ran out of kinetic energy miles short. It became a lawn dart. It tumbled out of the sky, skipped like a stone off the soft earth, and came to rest... intact.Image
2. The Gift

Standard procedure for a lost advanced weapon is immediate airstrikes. You bomb the wreck until it's dust.
But the adversary was in disarray. Within minutes, Indian special response teams were moving. This wasn't a recovery; it was a snatch-and-grab of the highest order.
Four hours later, the PL-15 was under X-ray scanners at a DRDO complex in Hyderabad.
Engineers didn't care about the radar seeker or software.
They wanted to know the range. How was China claiming 200km on a missile that size? The geometry didn't make sense.
