It is unclear if the marUnmatta-s had any strategy in their current ghazwat. It was heavy on tactical effervescence -- something also previously seen with their coreligionist from the occupied pA~nchanada& sindhu -- but not clear if it aimed to achieve anything strategically
It that sense it was just like the 9/11 attack -- mass civilian deaths for shock value that will draw the attention of the world. While such a shock value is deeply engrained in the principle of the jihad since its founder, these attacks seem slightly different from say the
Kenyan mall ghazwat or 26/11. In the former, there seems to have been a strategic objective directed at Kenya. I also see 26/11 as a deliberate attempt by the marUnmatta-s to paralyze a H economic center and take the sheen of "Indian growth". Along with the shock value the
current ghazwat also has shades of historical raids to take women+children+booty, going back to the founding of marUnmAda, rather than engage in pitched military confrontations. Perhaps some booty was taken in the form of Israeli armaments. It reminds one of Ahmed Niyaltegin's
assault on kAshI. But it will probably be a strategic failure for the proximal marUnmatta players just as it was for bin Laden et al in 9/11. The US& its vassals while suffering some Islamic attacks overall managed to stamp out that threat on their own territory. The mistake the
US made was the attempt to bring their neo-religious ideologies through conquest to the marUnmatta lands -- "democracy" & navyonmAda under piNDaka. This blew on their face. Given Israel's military superiority, it is likely to decisively destroy it attackers but (at least to me)
it remains an open question if they would succeed in successfully conquering some of the marUnmatta lands and making them their own. Things could also be complicated if the trans-national neo-con faction tries to expand the conflict in directions they like. You can already see
them wanting to blame it on the rUs (!) & open a front with the Islamic state in Iran. There hastin frontend, paTTinI made a ridiculous statement.None of this might be useful for the Israelis but they could be sucked into it in the heat of the moment. Their situation is different
from that of the H. H have enemies on multiple fronts & the mlechCha-s could tacitly help the marUnmatta-s. So at this point from the H perspective a lot is hanging on the Indian intelligence to read any comparable designs the maru-s may have for a ghazwa al-hind

Thanks. Multiple people have asked for prompts behind our recent posts. I'll just mention something general in that regard. First, imagine what you want -- that is based on your knowledge of the intended composition. Describe it in words to the engine. The key to note is that
this implementation of DALL-E 3 in MS image generator is not like MidJourney. It does not perform mutations on an earlier generated image. So there is randomness: 1. Some of the prompts fail but slight tweaks to the statement while maintaining semantics gives better results.
2. just repeating the same prompt a 2nd time sometimes works better. 3. There are lots of "heartbreaks" -- a near-perfect image ruined by a single irredeemable flaw -- if only we could engineer or mutate these we could get even better productions. I keep those that come near to
@JoraShankara @Sapratha 2. Harappan being Dravidian is a rather unfounded claim; hence, I think Steve Bonta is correct in dispelling rather strongly the idea that it was Dravidian -- he is a dravidianist himself 3. I think he has made a real contribution to understanding the Harappan script in defining
@JoraShankara @Sapratha the fields P,M,C, T and their sub-structure. 4. I also think he may have found something meaningful in his analysis of the so-called "M" field.
I find his readings more "believable" than another recent IA interpretation which was posted by a person called yaj~nadeva. However,
@JoraShankara @Sapratha that doesn't mean I believe them or am convinced by them. Could there be something to his findings? 1. If the Southern Arc theory of the Harvard lab has something to it & Harappans are related to the Southern Arc then there could be a remote similarity between the S.arc languages
It is v.clear that the neocons, a limb of the deep state with tangled connections that underlie "neo-Occidental civilization", have decided to prop her up. The MSM has been a domain of the neocons since the rise of guchchaka & mahAduShTa-vakrAs. That's what we are seeing here.
They (at least a subset) originally put their lot with anugAmin. However, anugAmin has a bit of a mind of his own & also the instinct to gauge what his base might want. Hence, he did not go their way. Also the base he is trying to tap into knows that nAri~Nga is a better choice,
so why go for some1 secondhand. So anugAmin started declining. OTH viveka is clearly best of the also-rans by a large margin. However, he has several disadvantages: 1. He looks alien to the modal mahAmlechCa. 2. Despite his many genuflections & assimilation of Judaeo-Christianity
A “Kafiristani” incantation recorded via Morgenstierne: *imro*! delect machi mrhor o! o *bagiShT* o!
imro of the gods (delect ~ devaloka or godly realm) and of mortals the lord o! (c.f. devAnAm uta yo martyAnAM yajiShThaH); o the god baghiShT o!
The o in the incantation is
likely a denasalized OM cognate. The deity imro is the cognate of yamo rajan; The deity baghiShT seems to be a superlative formation from the same root as the I-Ir deity bhaga, who once enjoyed a popular Iranic cult. Comes in names like bhagadatta; baghdAd on both sides of the
divide. The position of the god yama is peculiar in early I-Ir tradition. The RV tradition is ambivalent towards him. He is presented as the might king and the son of the god vivasvat. While in some references, he is a god (e.g., ekaM sad viprA…). In others, he is contrasted
Not central to the map but more related to below discussion. If we for a moment just include everything, i.e., don't make an attempt a priori to distinguish interpolations from the core Mbh (leave aside the "critical"= Pune edition) we have following counts for "distant" peoples
of these the word mlechCha is probably of Harappan provenance & was transferred to Old IA in the late Vedic age. It is 1st attested in the shatapatha brAhmaNa of shuklayajurveda 3.2.1.24. There it is stated that the language of the mlechCha is unintelligible & a v1 is asked not
to speak it as it is the tongue of the asura-s. It could have been originally a group of people in the Harappan domain that more generally acquired the sense of a foreign people by the Mbh. The niShAda ruler nala nAishAda is a historical hero in the Mbh. He is already mentioned
Seeing related posts too, but those who have followed the k'stan issue for a while know that it is not a purely (probably not even primarily) TSPian project. It is a mahAmlechCha deepstate project contracted out in main to its pa~nchanetraka subsidiaries like laNDapura& karNATa.
The deeper roots go back to 1857 CE when an H coalition under marahaTTa leadership with the Mogol remnants made one last attempt to rid the subcontinent of Abrahamoanglo dominance gained via the Anglo-marahaTTa & sikh wars. It was part of the larger global series of events for
Abrahamoanglo world conquest. The Crimean war against the rUs, featuring the well-known mlechCha-marUnmattAbhisaMdhi, the opium wars on the Ching, the Boer war, the world wars 1&2 were all part of the same system of their quest for world dominance. Challenges by Germany & Japan
