Super! X is saying they will prioritize "local impressions" Means if you are sitting in Germany, you can't make money by trolling India 😄 You will have to make content for Germans Hope Youtube does the same thing soon 😂😂😂



Hexadecimal wasn’t born in Silicon Valley. It was born on scraps of paper in 1679. Leibniz invented base 16 — and never published it.

The biggest colonial legacy isn’t the English language — it’s the colonial mindset: the belief that we arrived late to history and needed others to teach us everything. This wasn’t an accident. It was a long con. In 1835, Macaulay wrote: “We must at present do our best to form a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect.” (This was Macaulay’s blueprint for enforcing the Matriculation system.) And then came this colonial gem: “A single shelf of a good European library is worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia.” 1) What? 🤣 That’s not ignorance -- that’s propaganda disguised as policy. Let’s get real. The Mahabharata alone has over 100,000 verses -- that’s more than 10x the Iliad and Odyssey combined. It’s not just longer; it’s a philosophical cosmos, not a fairy tale. 🫵🏾😹 And that’s just one epic. 🤷🏻♂️ We had: – the Vedas and Upanishads, exploring metaphysics and consciousness – the Ramayana and Mahabharata, epic narratives with complex dharmic debates – Ayurveda, Siddha, Tantra -- systems of holistic medicine and transformation – Sangam poetry, rich in ethics, love, war, and ecology – architecture, astronomy, linguistics, martial arts A civilizational archive, not a footnote. Knowledge systems that shaped Asia, Arabia, Greeks & Romans for millennia. They didn’t colonize us to civilize us, they did it to justify their thefts, their genocides, their guilt. How can they civilize us when they themselves were barbaric? 🤷🏻♂️ (Their hygiene? Didn’t show up till the 20th century.) They didn’t win real battles -- they fixed them.. They didn’t conquer people -- they corrupted kings. From Mir Jafar’s treason to the Doctrine of Lapse. From Bengal’s loot to Punjab’s betrayal. Their empire wasn’t built on bravery -- It was stitched together with betrayal. Through bribes, broken promises, divide-and-rule And by recasting flexible jatis into a rigid caste prison. #BritishEngineeredFamines #GreatBritishGenocides And when they realized they couldn’t match our memory, they tried to erase it. British surveys in the 1800s recorded over 100,000 native schools across India: long before 'modern' schools existed in much of Europe. These schools were community-funded, locally managed, inclusive, and diverse: teaching math, logic, medicine, linguistics, and metallurgy. By mid-century, they were gone. Banned. Defunded. Dismantled. - Our Gurukulas, Pathshalas -- wiped out. - Martial arts like Kalaripayattu, Silambam, and Vajramushti -- banned. - Dance and ritual arts seen as “uncivilized” -- banned or distorted. - Temple architecture and sculpture patronage -- defunded for missionaries. - Even our calendar systems, timekeeping, and indigenous legal codes -- dismantled. Entire cultural ecosystems were not just neglected -- they were criminalized. What they couldn’t understand, they called primitive. What they couldn’t steal, they tried to erase. In its place, they installed Macaulay’s “civilizing” education -- the Matriculation System: A system not designed to empower, but to condition. To manufacture clerks for the Empire. Not thinkers. Not rebels. Not sovereign minds. And we’re still living under that shadow. We read our own history like strangers. We measure our worth in someone else’s language. We treat our past as a burden, not a blueprint. Even today, we mock our sciences, dismiss our traditions, and internalize inferiority. Colonialism didn’t just loot our gold or kill our ancestors. It murdered our memory. It shattered our sense of self. The barbarians left in 1947. (@RoyalFamily & @GOVUK ) But their scars still whisper: in our syllabus, our language, our self-worth. It’s time to break the illusion not just with facts, but with fire. #Decolonize -- not just the land, but the mind. Because we didn’t arrive late to history — we built its foundations.
