@balkanathari1 @Azhaar3818 Celebrating birthdays is not a western concept. It’s a concept that exists across civilizations.

I argue with all Muslim parents who refuse to celebrate their children’s birthdays for “religious” reasons.

Mumbai metro stations have QR code scanners underground with no wifi and cell connectivity. City is both joke and punchline now.

A Rajput friend of mine in Jaipur has a theory about this. Walk through any big Jain Marwari home of Jaipur and you'll notice something. The architecture is magnificent but the ground is bare. Swept clean. Maximum concrete, maximum stone. Hardly a tree in sight. And if they are, they are on the edges or boundry walls. In Jain philosophy, ahinsa is a lived, granular daily practice. The Muni sweeps the ground before sitting, to avoid crushing a life. And a tree? A tree is an ecosystem. It drops things. Insects fall from it, crawl under it, get stepped on by an unaware foot. A tree becomes a moral liability. But here's where it gets political. The current establishment draws heavily from Gujarati Hindu thought. And Gujarati Hinduism has been marinated for centuries in Jain influence. The boundary between a devout Gujarati Vaishnav and a Jain Shravak has always been porous. When this culture takes power, he argues, it doesn't just bring its economics or its politics. It brings its instincts. And that instinct, he says, is for controlled surfaces. Paved. Sealed. Safe. It's just a theory. But it offers an unsettling idea that explains the concrete spreading across Indian cities, look at any construction done by Sanghis. Trees are missing. Somewhere, under its foundations, lies the anxiety of a theology, a life style. The trees are not being cut, the ground is being purified to walk on.
Rants&Roasts@Sydusm

The obsession is with a warped, transactional understanding what development means. For a sect that believes putting colour changing LED lights on building is a sign of unprecedented progress, trees hold little value. There's no love like the love for money, and cut trees means a pot full.

@Avi_Pandey05 @DearthOfSid The Hindu temple was first a Buddhist site. The church was first a Greek temple. The Greek temple was first and African pagan site. Civilizations adapt as they face change.

@Amigo_Amey @vansianism You mean the case that was exposed as being built on bullshit because Hindus can’t tolerate Muslim excellence in the corporate world?

A Hindu Bengali professor at Calcutta University said it himself in 1954. The language you claim as your ancient Hindu identity was ignored by Hindu kings for centuries and only got literary recognition under Muslim rulers.

I just had a conversation with a Shia from Bahrain, and they said the situation of the Shia in Bahrain is worse than that of the Shia in Saudi. This is what they said: 👇 "Bahraini Shia are struggling—living in broken houses, doing five jobs to make ends meet, and facing workplace discrimination. They, however, still have the freedom to practice their religion and a bit more room to criticize the monarchy. Saudi Shia, in contrast, now have jobs and secure income (which is why many Qatifis are happy with MBS for the first time). But they are heavily restricted in practicing their faith. Open your mouth against the monarchy? You don’t get jailed and tortured like in Bahrain—you disappear and get executed immediately. Saudi even allowed Ashura commemorations on the streets for the first time last year or the year before. Meanwhile, Bahrain is quickly clamping down on the little religious and political freedom we had. Who knows… maybe the situations will reverse."

There was a Syrian Shia on Twitter who only had 7 followers, two of whom were my accounts. I used to talk to him every day. This beloved brother deactivated after Syria fell. Now, for the first time, I found a Saudi Shia brother on Twitter, and it made me very happy. Besides the Shia of Lebanon and Iraq, who have great freedom and power, I find the Shia of Pakistan and South Asia the second freest. I would categorize the situation of the Shia of Azerbaijan, Nigeria, and Bahrain in the same category. The third category. Their lives are not usually threatened if they are "very" careful, but they still face oppression. Besides the Shia of Lebanon, it makes me the happiest whenever I see Shia from Saudi Arabia and Syria follow me. It really makes me smile. May Allah protect all of them.

You think he’s gonna be mad when I let him know that both Khomeini and Khamenei both died as Kaffirs? And that All 14 infallibles are literally the same spirit with different bodies and personalties? The Hadith about"أولنا محمد أوسطنا محمد آخرنا محمد" So no prioritization allowed
