1/n US federal law and state govts have for years added a surcharge to ALL elec customer bills. That money is given to solar cos to install panels free of cost to those who decide to sign up. They will still pay monthly fees - only installation is free, & the contract is binding. 2/n Now this federal mandate to move homes to solar was *strengthened* by Trump 1.0, contrary to public rhetoric. Speaking with a solar co manager about this, he said it has been a long term strategy to free up a grid capacity for AI data centers. Been in the works for years.

1/n French anthropologist Emmanuel Todd's theory correlating prevalent family structures with a society's susceptibility to various religious or political ideologies is thought-provoking:

lesswrong.com/posts/LvRL8442тАж 2/n His classification of family structures, government & religion is useful to compare against dharma shastra systems of gotra, jaati, kula, varna, cross-yuga sampradaya and rashtra. The attention to detail in criteria of marriage, inheritance & accountability determines a lot. Image

Some Brits are really having a meltdown after #Chandrayaan3. It's been a revelation & thought provoking.

1/n I've realized that losing power can potentially be more traumatic than undergoing oppression, genocide and being reduced to subhuman poverty... 2/n A brutally exploitative colonial power can go into psychological tailspin after losing the power to do that to others. Genuinely appears at least a section of the Anglosphere & West in general is going through this even though they have overrun & still populate 4 continents..

1/2 #DivideHindus exhibit:

@DainikBhaskar reporter @rahulreporter4 Sharma puts out a crazy tweet belittling lower castes & stoking UC grievance over reservation policy.

Same newspaper's editor @pantlp stokes anti-Brahmin outrage over dubious story of slapping Dalit schoolboy... 2/2 As it usually is in all such hyped-up cases, within 72 hours of the news cycle, the dubious story gets exposed and is admitted even by Leftist portals that stoke the flames to begin with:

1/n Quick thread on #Afghanistan's indigenous Hindus & the present state of the Pakhtuns. Based on speaking with a Hindu lady who lived and worked there, speaks Dari and Pashto, did several field projects there, & was invited to speak at US State Dept. on security-related issues. 2/n Most Afghan Hindus are indigenous to Afghanistan, in the sense that they are the oldest inhabitants there at this point. There are some who went there from India only a few centuries ago, and are no less "Afghan", but most have been there prior to all others known today.

1/n Straits of Bosphorus. An Islamic savant called Said Nursi, called Bediuzzaman (sort of like YugPurush) by his fans, said he had a vision of Imam Rabbani (Sirhindi) when meditating here onceтАж 2/n Bediuzzaman Said Nursi wanted to say that he takes the baton from Imam Rabbani.

Imam Rabbani (Ahmad Sirhindi) is considered the second greatest Islamic theologian after Imam Ghazali. They both fused the current state of Sufism back into ulema-centered IslamтАж

1. Thread on the family lineage Nehruvian India's first Minister for Education, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad - which is also intertwined with the family lineage of Jawaharlal Nehru himself. 2. Maulana Azad's maternal great-grandfather Shiekh Qazi Sirajuddin, came to India from Herat (Afghanistan) with Abdali's invading army. Abdali appointed him Qazi of Punjab and advisor to Nuruddin, his viceregent in Abdali's 'Punjab Sultanate'.

1. Next 21 tweets on #Sikh tradition's relationship with different languages & scripts in Indic core & extended MidEast/Mongol/Tibet/E.Asian family.

What were the cultural undercurrents of the first Sikh movement towards Indicization?

What derailed this?

What about the future? 2. #Sikh Guru Angad ji pioneered the re-introduction of Indic script in Punjab. Rolled back imposition of modified-Arabic script.

#Gurmukhi is derived from Sharada script of #Kashmiri Hindus. Related to far flung Tocharian script. Is only surviving member of that script-family.

ETHNIC CLEANSING & CULTURAL GENOCIDE IN #KASHMIR

Since the coming of #Islam to #Kashmir, since 1389 there have been 7 recorded exoduses of Kashmiri #Hindus and #Sikhs due to genocide and persecution at the hands of radical Islam. 2/n
The first exodus OF #Hindus from #Kashmir (AD 1389-1413) was under the Shah Mir Dynasty. Tourists may not notice that the iconic Dal Lake has a mass grave of Kashmiri Hindus known as "Bhatt Mazar" or "grave of Brahmins".

1/n
A thread:
Illuminating #Bible passages on how a #pagan deserves only deceit, dissimulation and to be taken advantage of - even when he extends help.

Even if fellow-#Abrahamics are mortal enemies, a Pagan who extends shelter to one never really wins their loyalty or trust. 2/n
The scene: David flees Israelite territory. King Saul is trying to kill him, no matter how much David tries to prove his bona fides.

David + 600 soldiers (w/ families) take shelter with Philistine King Achish of Gath - pagans the Israelites hate.
