A thread that’ll prove that Periyar, founder of DMK in his own words in verifiable public records, was not just anti Brahmin but also anti Christian, Islam, Gandhi-Nehru, women & democracy So why would DMK target only Sanatan/Brahmins? We’ll tell you why in the end. Don't miss! Image
Periyar’s direct speech on Gandhi, Nehru & the constitution Image
This are his actual words on women in DK newspaper. Image
In this direct quote from Viduthalai (16 April 1950) on Scheduled castes Image
EVR called Silappadikaram a “Aryan propaganda in the following direct quote. Tamil language warriors would definitely want to know about this. Image
1971 speech in Mettupalayam while inaugurating the Rationalist Association, he said the following attacking ALL religions Image
The Vatican would surely want to know these words from his 1943 Trichy Speech Image
Periyar E.V. Ramasamy writing in his magazine Kudiyarasu, and he is being unusually mild here. (Naan Sonnal Unakku Yen Kopam Vara Vendum, vol. 4, p. 532, compiled by Pasu. Gowthaman). Image
Now comes the best part. He accused Ambedkar for selling himself to the Brahmins. (Periyar E.V.R. Chintanaikal, Anaimuthu, 1974, p. 1,860). No comments here. Image
Now some nice quotes directly from him for our dear democracy warriors. Periyar’s writings compiled by Pasu. Gowthaman, vol. 4, 2017, p. 432) Image
Some Muslims along with Darul Shah, a Muslim Tamil scholar, called Periyar ‘Islam’s enemy no. 1′. Sundara Sreenivasa offers a brief summary of Periyar’s criticism on Islam drawing from primary sources.
Periyar, in his very last speech made in December 1973, said the following. Mohabbat ki dukaan - anyone? Image

So why DMK only targets Brahmins Answer lies in shloka

अश्वं नैव गजं नैव व्याघ्रं नैव च नैव च |अजापुत्रं बलिं दद्याद्देवो दुर्बलघातकः ||
Not the horse, the elephant or the tiger either.Sacrifice the lamb, the meek.God kills the weak.

Brahmins are weak soft targets - that’s why

Toxic food & sedentary life in North America & urban India causes obesity & related diseases

We all know about coke, candy & chips being bad but you’ll be shocked how junk is masked in regular everyday eatables

Don’t miss this thread if value your health & want practical tips Image
Seed oils - This one is a killer that hardly anyone is aware

Did you know that till few decades ago vegetable oils that today is commonly used in home and restaurant cooking was considered industrial waste? Image
Sunflower, corn, safflower oil for cooking also found in all packaged food will ensure early death for you

You need to take special effort & replace this with extra virgin olive oil,
avocado oil, organic ghee or beef tallow

Makes world of a difference Image

Dire civilizational warning - if you read one thread today let it be this one. Your future is on the line & honestly it doesn’t look too bullish for Hindus in India.

Using a real life anecdote from today I’ll show you how situation is no different from elections of British India in 1937 & 1946

Save this tweet for 2029Image
A childhood friend who’s now a successful businessman was in town & we met for a quick 20 mins

He’s very involved with BJP & close to one candidate who had been given an MP ticket as he had a good track record of winning MLA seats. This particular MP constituency had approx 5 MLA constituencies with one M majority area.Image
Because of his track record BJP candidate assumed easy victory.

And surprise - He lost.

Why? In 4 areas he did get higher % of votes but in the 1 M area the % against him was so overwhelming that his gain in other 4 areas was fully erased. Image

This thread is unique & different from our regular ones

A list of existential questions. Would appreciate if you can provide a logical, spiritual, faith based (any faith) or scientific answers to these

If possible please keep answer simple enough for avg brain to process Image
If there is a creator then who created the creator?

If someone fled then where does chain end?

If no one did then how does creator exist? Image
Why did the creator create?

How would it have been any different if nothing was created & there was pure emptiness?

What was the compelling need to design samsara like a karmic points based video game? Image

1/14 What's the fundamental difference in organized Abrahamic faiths vs Hinduism?

Why did Hindus lose 50% land & mind share but didn't die out?

Don't miss this thread that combines history, human psychology and philosophy to answer basic civilizational questionsImage
2/14 Most influencers, handles or narratives present a unidimensional view of history and human interactions i.e. the group they identify with is all good and adversarial groups are all bad.

But in reality history is multi-layered & humans are multidimensionalImage
3/14 Humans if left without a domineering framework will pursue self interest first

For example a lot of Hindus allied with Mughals. Sikhs on occasion have allied with British & Mughals have fought Afghans, Christian armies have fought genocidal wars etc.Image

Why did Marathas & Sikhs not join hands against Afghans & British?

History is shockingly complicated - Don't miss this thread

Mughal empire was demolished by 1717

By 1750 Marathas ruled India & Sikh misls controlled Punjab.

Why didn't they join hands?Image
Mughals were Maratha vassals but still retained revenue rights over Delhi

There was a Mughal governor called Adina Beg who was struggling against invading Afghans under Ahmedshah Abdali

We think of Sikhs Marathas as mortal enemies of Mughals but truth has layers and nuancesImage
Yes on a broader spectrum Mughals were enemies for both Sikhs and Marathas.

However at local levels there were complicated equations and power struggles

Adina Beg was once supported by Sikh generals Jassa Singh and Vadbhag Singh against the Afghans and got a temporary respiteImage
