@indumathi37 H4HR is an islamist funded anti-Hindu org working under a faux Hindu label as a cover.

Most Hindu temples all over the world prohibit anyone but priests from entering the garbagriha. It’s the rule because of the metaphysics of the temple design, prana pratishta, etc. It’s not a civil rights violation. It’s only a civil rights violation if you don’t understand what a temple is and why the rule exists. You know, if you’re not a practicing Hindu. If these folks think this was a gotcha on @HinduAmerican…it’s an embarrassing self-goal. Pavam.

#Update: in response to widespread outrage over highly derogatory, anti-Hindu tropes included in an @CityAndStateNY piece, corrections have been added. We would ask that an apology for the inclusion of an ignorant take on Hindu temple inner sanctum entry & the false charges against @BAPS_PubAffairs & the horrific temple raid by federal agents be forthcoming. We hope @CityAndStateNY & @JCColtin will be mindful of ideological biases and past activism of authors they publish when it harms communities.

@In_Sane_Saint @ValueWithPrem Isn’t it an assumption that he is NOT enjoying this trip on earth? Joy is all there is, each breath reminds one of the Truth.

Doesn’t destroy my programming even a bit, but I hope someday he realises that is much more to life than Money. He will die one day and all this will be left behind, as far bloodline is concerned, every one has their own destiny, so many examples of people making way for themselves and some destroying what they had. I wish him a speedy recovery.

I got on a call today with a Gujarati UHNI from Dubai having anonymous profile on X. What he told me will permanently destroy your middle class programming.👇🏻

Lifetime contribution per Indian immigrant to the US economy: $1.7 million. Highest among all groups. Donald Trump left out this key fact because it doesn't fly with the MAGA crowd.

The name of the land, people, and religion is Indu/Hindu. Wake up to truth India! Hindu or Hinduism is not a construct. That’s what the colonialists told you to make you question your identity. Hindu comes from Indu, Bharata’s lineage. Bharata the name is derived from the legendary ruler whose lineage is narrated in the Mahabharata (the story of the land of Bharata and Bharatiyas). Indoi/Indua are used as derivatives of Indu, the name Hindu, India derived from this. It is not some made-up term by Persians. That “Persians made up the name Indu from Sindhu as they don’t have alphabet ‘S’” story is a myth. I offer 2 reasons here: Firstly, Persian is a derivative of Sanskrit; has all the sounds Sanskrit has. It’s easy for Persians to say and write ‘S’ as it is in Sanskrit. So they inadvertently made-up India/Indu from Sindhu is a myth. Secondly, Greek geographer/historian Hecataeus Miletus used it in his book before it appeared in Darius’s Persian inscriptions. How did he know the name Indoi/Indua to use before Persians if they didn’t make it up? The land and the people spread between Hinduko (Hindu mountains) to Hindu Mahasagara are India (Hinduka/Indica) and Hindus (Indoi/Hindoi/) It’s better for IndiansHindus to come out of this myth as soon as possible. Hinduism and Hindutva are same. Hindutva is used as a boogieman to trap and corner Indians, especially Hindus, so they cannot question the Hinduphobia. Don’t fall for these made-up theories and propaganda circulating around ‘Hindu vs. Hindutva’. That is a trap.

The world believes the story of Ramanujan began on a cold morning in Cambridge when G.H. Hardy opened a letter from India. But that is the 2nd act. The real story began 4 years earlier, in a sweltering, paper-cluttered govt office in Tirucoilur. This is the story of the man who saw the fire before the world felt the heat. History credits the British prof for proving the genius, but it forgets the Indian tax collector who saved the man. Before Ramanujan was a legend in London, he was an asker in a revenue office & 1 man decided that a genius should not be taxed by system. In 1910, V. Ramaswamy Aiyer was a Deputy Collector. To the British Raj, he was a reliable cog in the administrative machine, a man who ensured the land taxes flowed. But Aiyer lived a double life. By night, he was the founder of the Indian Mathematical Society, a man desperately trying to find a home for Indian thought in a colonized land. 1 afternoon, a young man walked into his office. He was not there to talk about the infinite; he was there to ask for a job as a clerk. He needed a salary of 20 rupees a month just to stay alive. The young man, Srinivasa Ramanujan, pushed a tattered, ink-stained notebook across the Collector’s desk. He hoped it would prove he was good at sums so he could be trusted with the tax ledgers. Aiyer opened the notebook. He did not see ledger entries. He saw a chaotic, transcendental garden of theorems that should not have existed. He saw eqns on Modular Equations & Infinite Series that defied the textbooks of the era. Aiyer was a trained mathematician. He realized within mins that the man standing before him, asking to be a low-level clerk was the greatest mathematical mind the country had produced in centuries. Aiyer faced a choice: he could give the boy the job & gain an efficient clerk/he could reject him & save a titan. He looked at Ramanujan & did something logically perfect. He closed the notebook & pushed it back. He refused to give him the job. Aiyer famously said, "I had no mind to smother his genius by an appointment in the lowest rungs of the revenue department." Instead of a desk in a dusty office, Aiyer gave Ramanujan something far more valuable: The Invisible Infrastructure. He gave him letters of introduction to the power-brokers of Indian math & a small stipend from his own pocket. He told Ramanujan, "Go. You do not belong here. You belong to the stars." Ramaswamy Aiyer never asked for credit. He did not follow Ramanujan to Cambridge. He stayed in the heat of South India, quietly collecting taxes & editing his journals. When Ramanujan’s name finally shook the halls of the Royal Society, Aiyer was still a humble Revenue Man in a small town, smiling at a success he had privately engineered.

The Return of Hindutva to Bengal Bengal is the birthplace of Hindutva. The idea of governance with an Indic civilizational vision was born here. Chandranath Basu developed a comprehensive treatise on Hindutva in 1892. Here is a translation of the book published this year: [Available here amazon.in/Hindutva-Essen…] The who's who of the Bengal Renaissance were instrumental in developing the idea of Hindutva. Some other highlights of Bengal's contribution to Hindutva: A. Ram Mohan Roy called the Abrahamic dogmas unscientific and ideas of karma in the Hindutva culture scientific. [See here x.com/kausikgy/statu…] B. Vidyasagar was a staunch cultural Hindu. He advised students to never abandon "Hindu philosophy" (his words) but study it along with western science and philosophy, in a comparative manner. [See here x.com/kausikgy/statu…] C. Bankim Chandra Chatterjee outlined the agenda that is even relevant today. He asked Hindus to decolonize social sciences and get out of the false equivalence of dharma and religion. He used the term Hindutva in his writings and composed our National Song, Vande Mataram. [See here opindia.com/2018/06/decolo…] D. Rabindranath Tagore published an article Hindutva in a magazine called Bangodarshan in 1901. Here he writes on Hindutva as the idea of selflessness. [See here x.com/kausikgy/statu…] E. Swami Vivekananda offered a new vision for the world spirituality and for the Hindus. [See here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rousing_C…] F. Brahmabandhav Upadhyay became a Christian but again came back to reclaim his Hindu identity in 1901. He said, "You may pay attention to whatever you like, you may write whatever you like, you may do whatever you like, but forever remain a Hindu, remain a Bengali." [See here x.com/kausikgy/statu…] G. Sri Aurobindo said in his Uttarpara speech (1909) declared, "I say that it is the Sanatan Dharma which for us is nationalism. This Hindu nation was born with the Sanatan Dharma, with it it moves and with it it grows. When the Sanatan Dharma declines, then the nation declines, and if the Sanatan Dharma were capable of perishing, with the Sanatan Dharma it would perish." [See here en.wikisource.org/wiki/Uttarpara…] H. Girish Chandra and his troupe established National Theater in 1871. This was the beginning of the cultural movement of Hindutva. [See here x.com/kausikgy/statu…] I. Meghnad Saha was the Hindu Socialist who criticized Nehru for both his apathy to the plight of Bengali Hindu refugees and his much generousness to Pakistan. [See here x.com/kausikgy/statu…] J. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee started Bharatiya Jana Sangh which eventually became BJP today, the party espousing Hindutva. Saeculum is a Latin word that implies a cycle of 80 to 100 years in a collective life. [See more here x.com/kausikgy/statu…] The Bengal Pact, 1923, marked the diminution of Hindutva from the main theme of Bengal politics. The refusal of Congress to form Provincial Government in 1937 marked the end of Hindutva in Bengal politics. 2026 is the year that brings Hindutva back to the forefront of Bengal politics once again.

@Fintech03 Just wow!

He died in 1955, and while his name is on the Bhatnagar Awards, most people do not realize that the very survival of India's early industrial energy was saved by a man who preferred a well-stocked lab over a padded wallet. In the 1920s, the Attock Oil Company at Rawalpindi hit a literal wall. When drilling for oil, they used a drilling mud to lubricate the bits & bring up debris. But as they drilled deeper, the mud encountered saline water. The salt caused a chemical reaction called flocculation, the mud turned from a smooth liquid into a thick, solid mass that choked the drills. The operations were paralyzed. They flew in experts from London; they tried expensive imported chemicals. Nothing worked. The wells were about to be abandoned. Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar, then a prof at University of Punjab, was called in. He did not look at the drills; he looked at the colloidal chemistry of the mud. He realized that the mud particles were clumping together because of the salt's electrical charge. He needed a protective colloid, something to coat the mud particles so they would not stick. Instead of ordering a synthetic chemical from a German lab, he looked at local Indian resources. He realized that Indian Gum had the exact molecular structure needed to stabilize the mud against salinity. He added a specific concentration of the local gum to the drilling mud. To the amazement of the British engineers, the solidified mud instantly turned back into a free-flowing liquid. The drills started turning again. The Attock Oil Company was so relieved they offered Bhatnagar a personal grant of 150000 Rupees (an astronomical sum in the 1920s, enough to live like royalty for a few lifetimes). Bhatnagar’s response is the stuff of legends. He did not take a single paisa. He told the company: "I have no personal need for this money. But my university lacks the tools to train the next generation of Bhatnagars." He forced them to convert the personal reward into a Research Endowment for the University of Punjab. This fund became the bedrock for the Chemistry department & eventually paved the way for the creation of the CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research), the backbone of Indian science today. Meghnad Saha wrote to Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar in 1934 saying, "You have hereby raised the status of the university teachers in the estimation of public, not to speak of the benefit conferred on your Alma Mater".

@dwarkesh_sp Enough said.

1. Just got off a call with @UnSubtleDesi. I couldn't be happier for her and both of us couldn't help but discuss the harrowing days of post poll violence in West Bengal in 2021. So I am going to share what happened five years ago just so ppl know what happened. #WestBengal2026.

Dwarkesh, Reich sounds intelligent but is throughly confused and ignorant about real history of India and hides behind the colonial racial narrative imposed to classify people arbitrarily solely to hand on to power. How you get impressed by him indicates woefully inadequate grounding you have on your heritage and merrily singing the outside fictional perspective.

One of the coolest stories I heard from David Reich about the interaction between genetics and human culture: The caste system was powerful enough to essentially 'freeze' Indian genetics for thousands of years, almost completely stopping the process of genetic mixture.

This writer is a self-proclaimed “oppressed” and is peddling lies under the innocuous sounding covering of Mamdani political career. No, the US Hindu temples do not screen visitors off some made up categories; no one is equipped to categorize and then screen folks on those imaginary categories. Inner sanctums are off limits to all but those allowed to perform puja services.

Muslim, Hindu, African, South Asian... New Yorker. Mamdani has forged his own identity across delicate South Asian coalitions, journalist @YashicaDutt wrote for @CityAndStateNY this week. And she asked fellow desi New Yorkers how they feel about him. cityandstateny.com/personality/20…

Remember when Udhaynidhi put a picture of a mosquito coil after he called Sanatanis mosquitoes to be eradicated. I bet that mosquito coil is burning through Udhaynidhi Stalin’s pants now. Karma served. Still one of my proudest moments.

@smitadeshmukh Rockefeller (aka globalization deep state) stooge.

Woke up to read Tim Cook, CEO of the world's most valuable company Apple expressing excitement about India's opportunity and Ruchir Sharma back with his seasonal 'India is failing' tour, diligently organised by his lutyens fans. Honestly, I have been following him for just over a decade. Facts: ​He was wrong about digitisation. Wrong about the 2024 'undercurrent.' Wrong about the resilience of domestic markets. Now, he’s targeting AI - ignoring that India is the global leader in AI adoption and home to the world's largest ChatGPT mobile user base. ​While he pines for the Chinese top-down model (read more and you will understand his China worship), India is building Sovereign AI through Bhashini to empower 22 languages and scaling an AI service sector headed for $17B by 2027. ​He keeps on judging India’s 2026 reality with a 1990s manufacturing playbook. Maybe if his fund returns matched his confidence in 'breakout nations' like Turkey or Brazil, people will listen. Every time he does doom-mongering, I remind myself he is chairman of Rockfeller International. Rest my case here.

@wrmead @SandeepUnnithan Did not know there is so much indophobia in the US.

I’m seeing a lot of comment on this site and elsewhere about Hudson Institute’s recent conference on the RSS. From the US side, people attacked the conference as Hudson “legitimizing” the controversial organization and either capitulating to or enabling the RSS. In India, some attacked speakers at the conference for “capitulating” to the United States and the Trump administration. I have thoughts:

@dwarkesh_sp <<< who killed off 90+% of (then) Europeans and also destroyed the Indus Valley Civilization>>> All speculation, zero evidence. These harvard scientists are deluded and deluding the world using discarded theories. Shame.

I had no idea how wild the story of human evolution was before chatting with the geneticist of ancient DNA David Reich. Human history has been again and again a story of one group figuring ‘something’ out, and then basically wiping everyone else out. From the tribe of 1k-10k modern humans 70,000 years ago who killed off all the other human species; to the Yamnaya horse nomads 5,000 years ago who killed off 90+% of (then) Europeans and also destroyed the Indus Valley Civilization. So much of what we thought we knew about human history is turning out to be wrong, from the ‘Out of Africa’ theory to the evolution of language, and this is all thanks to the research from David Reich’s lab. Extremely fascinating stuff. Enjoy! Links below.
