How is Ganesha represented in countries beyond India - a thread Image
According to Adi Shankaracharya, like the Shaiva, Vaishnava and Shakta tradition in India, there also was a Ganapatya tradition. In this branch of Hinduism, people knew God through Ganesha.
After Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the Peshwas came to power in Maharashtra and were mainly responsible for the popularity of Ganesha worship as their ishta-dev. While Ganesha is mentioned in the Vedas, it was Puranic times when the deity gained popularity.

Let's discuss how the infamous Lollypop Lagelu lady impacted widespread regions of Bihar and some districts of neighbouring UP and Jharkhand to sway and shake.
As we all know, the region most impacted was Aarah - which isn't technically a district. It is part of the Bhojpur district.

As the line goes - तू लगवेलु जब लिपिस्टिक लगवेलु हिलेला आरा डिस्टिक, the region is said to 'shake' when the lady applies lipstick.
The next pair of regions that fall victim to the lady are the districts of neighbouring states - Ballia from UP and far away from the impact region - Jamshedpur (Tatangar)

गालिया प बलिया झूमे मुस्की प टाटा

The lady's cheeks claim Ballia, and her smile claims Tatanagar.

It's that time of the year again. Which ones have you tried yet?

#Mango [a thread] Image
There are over 1000 varieties of mangoes in India. Less than 20 are grown commercially. The World's 36% of mangoes are produced in India [18 million tonnes]. Second, on the list, China only produces 4 million tonnes.
Despite being the highest producer in the world, the share of Indian mangoes in global mango trade is less than 3% - that too in the canned form. The share of fresh mangoes exports is negligible for India.

Rabindranath Tagore's poems have a unique way of capturing emotions so deep and profound that they often defy description.

To celebrate his birthday, let's embark on a journey to visualize seven of his works with the help of AI. 🎨 Image
1. Megh Boleche Jabo Jabo

"Megh Boleche Jabo Jabo" is a contemplative poem that explores the various aspects of life, such as the passage of time, love, and death, while reflecting on the choices and possibilities each aspect presents Image
2. Bhenge mor gharer chabi niye jabi

Amidst loneliness and longing, hope blooms as nature's beauty awaits my cherished friend's return. Image

The Stereotype Content Model applied to the majoritarian Indian worldview Image
The stereotype content model (SCM) was proposed in 2002 which hypothesises that we judge strangers along two dimensions - warmth and competence.

Warmth determines if they are friendly or not. Competence determines their capacity to act on that perceived intention. Image
The Strong x Warm attributes are what generate positive bias. In the context of India, it is strong icons, identities, and characters that are aligned with India's interests and exhibit strength. For example- freedom fighters, Indian defence forces, figures like Hanuman and Ram. Image

Excited to share an infographic showcasing milk cooperative societies from different states of India! Image
🤔 Wondering what a milk cooperative is? Milk cooperatives are organizations owned and operated by farmers, who work together to process, market, and distribute their dairy products. They play a pivotal role in empowering farmers and ensuring fair prices for their produce. 🐄
Not many know but Amul is Gujarat's milk cooperative that probably is the most recognisable brand nationally. Followed by Mother Dairy from Delhi.
#Amul #GujaratDairy 🐮
