The seeds of India's colonization were sown by 15th century itself. While we were wallowing in internecine warfare and hollowed out socially, Europeans were discovering the world. Japan escaped by skin of its teeth tks to Meiji restoration possible due to its cultural homogeneity

We became a backward society, at best adopters and users of new tech, instead of developers and innovators. This is true for every kingdom in India regardless of religion or region.

Beef is not just another meat in Indian context. This was an instance where food was weaponized by jihadi hordes specifically to desecrate Hindu temples and assault Hindu sensibilities. There are countless historical evidences of this practice. Beef consumption gained another dimension in colonial era when Macaulayite class used it as a declaration of their scientific temper. Many young students would eat it as a mark of rebellion against prevailing social norms.

Dharma never falls short. Never ever. It is our misinterpretation of what Dharma is that leads to confusion. Dharma is realisation Srishti-Sthiti-Laya cycle is fundamental nature of universe. Over-emphasis on any one will always lead to disaster. Nothing western- this is Shruti.

The Shruti emphasizes this dynamism everywhere. Indra releases the waters kept stagnant by Vritra. H civilization has been outward looking- this sensibility was at the core of H civilization before the Islamic invasions.

the caste jati system is obsolete in the post industrial world. we can keep crying (because industrialization is interlinked with colonialism in Indian context), but the failure of H society to adapt to the new world is at the root of deracination.

social order is tightly coupled with social justice. Once industrial revolution happened, H society lost means of providing social justice, because market economy became norm. That lead to inevitable collapse of social order.

Tradition is a non-argument against equality of opportunity in this day and age. It is always going to lose because it will go against public sense of natural justice. Earlier times there was guarantee of income associated with hereditary rights and exclusions. Post industrial age those hereditary rights have become meaningless in practice because economic model itself has changed.

One unfortunate long term effect of colonialism on Hindu psyche is the "this is the true X" syndrome.
Current "RW" is majorly a victim of this. Let me try and explain.

So when the British came and colonised India, the Indian traditional knowledge system was dissected and then subject to a brutal assault by protestant/enlightenment forces. The latter operated with completely different fundamentals compared to Indian processes.

How do you guilt trip a country into underachievement in order to maintain your own monopoly on technological, scientific and strategic domain? I present to you the PoHu Trap ©

Thread. The human species, over the last 100K years, have slowly but surely added layers to the basic evolutionary cycle that every other lifeform on this planet follows. These layers lead to the formation of what we call cultures.

An obfuscation campaign is currently underway to give intellectual cover to assorted foreign supported regime change agents. In this thread I will try to explain why these toolkit creating agents of chaos are, in fact, committing sedition against the sovereign Indian nation state In order to understand the present, we have to understand how the nature of warfare itself has changed over time. Without this one will not realize the false contrast being created between "peaceful activists" and the state.

this is a very good thread. Challenge however is whether a true perspective shift can occur by engaging with the western academic framework, or by rejecting it completely roots up and building a true alternative model. 2nd option is a nuclear solution.

There is of course a political dimension to this. Mere studying of a knowledge system is futile unless one is able to apply it in his/her sphere of influence and make tangible change. And by change I dont mean charity or self help groups. I mean application + subversion of power

A thread to collect racist constructs designed by Hindu hating colonial regimes and perpetuated by modern day (mem)sahibs and their deracinatated, self loathing chamchas. 1. South Asia: An artificial term specifically constructed to erase the social, cultural and political history of Sanatan Civilization. Erasure of history is the first step to delegitimize and then ultimately perpetrate genocide on any indigenous living tradition.

Why do we do the things that we do? What compels us- ambition? hunger? obsession? nature? A combination of all of the above? In order to really understand Sarri's appointment we need to go back a decade, in the dark days when Secco, Blanc & Gigli were perched at Vinovo #Sarri Those were dark times- only thrice in her history had the Old Lady faced a crisis like what loomed ahead back then. The supporters were disillusioned, the management was in complete disarray & the squad was one of the weakest, most overpaid ever. And yet, here we are today #Sarri
