Some of the important quotes that we need to remind ourselves now & then ! 🧵 #UdaipurHorror #Udaipur

Ppl who defend "Sati" proclaiming it as a "Voluntary act" done by the women are no different from Muslim extremists who blow themselves to kill other ppl as a "voluntary act" for the jihad, since both have divine sanctions from the scriptures. So don't bring this idiotic argument as "sati" as some holy act done by women. No sane person in this world will try to jump in the fire or kill themselves unless it's for some higher cause of saving the family, nation or anything related to that.

I'm seeing a lot of hatred towards bhagavan Rama in the Tamilnadu social media grps after RRR movie, claiming that Ram worship isn't here and this is Periyar land blah blah ! I mean seriously, this ppl haven't read anything related to Tamil scriptures nor knew abt Tamil culture ! To be honest, bhagavan Rama is the most pan-india god right from the ancient times..ppl from TN worshipped him with pure devotion and most of them had their names started with "Ram". ( Irony is the so called Periyar's name starts with "Rama" 😂😷 )

The Saṅgam age is the period in the history of ancient Tamil Nadu (the present Tamilnadu, Kerala, parts of Andhra Pradesh, parts of Karnataka and northern Sri Lanka) spanning from 4th C.B.C to 2nd C.A.D. According to Tamil legends there were three Saṅgam periods, viz., Thalai Saṅgam, Iḍai Saṅgam and Kaḍai Saṅgam. However the historians refer to only the Third Saṅgam or Kaḍai Saṅgam as the “Saṅgam period.”

Amongst many allegations levelled by the critics against Savarkar, the following two are most prominent:

*Savarkar “apologised” to the British and then turned into a “British agent”
*Savarkar opposed the Quit India movement and helped British by recruiting hindus in army! Savarkar favoured the militarisation of hindus even before WW2 occured ! And if he was a "British stooge" why did he write a letter to US prez to persuade UK to withdraw British imperialism?
