My analysis of the increasingly deranged and delusional discourse in America about Hindu temples like Chilkur Balaji and New Jersey Swaminarayan Mandir. It's not just online trolls but senators, professors and journalists spreading insanity. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

Romila Thapar’s false claim for 30+ years For more than thirty years, eminent historian Romila Thapar has claimed that Patañjali compared the relationship or conflict between the Brahmanas and the Shramanas to that between the snake and the mongoose. The claim is completely false. Watch to know more.

Christian Persecution Narrative: Mask of persecution, money trail of foreign-funded institutions

Nigga, Baal was a god of storms and rain in the Canaanite pantheon. Yahweh, the god in the bible, is repeatedly referred to as “the God OF ISRAEL” and revealed himself only to the twelve desert tribes of Israel. Both have absolutely zero connection to where you and I live. Don’t bring our Hindu gods into any of this Yahweh vs Baal lafda. Hindus have nothing to do with this desert lafdaa except in fantasies of your fake apostle Paul who never knew Jesus when he was alive. See the following extract in your Bible which makes this even more explicit: (Judges 11:23-24) [Judge Jephthah says to the Amorites]: Yahweh, the god OF ISRAEL [emphasis added] has granted possession of the Amorite [land] to HIS people ISRAEL. Will you now take possession of them? Do you not (already) possess that which Kemosh, YOUR god [emphasis added] grants to you? We will possess all that Yahweh, OUR GOD [emphasis added] has granted to us. (Judges 11:23–24) Yahweh in origins, is a tribal god of the Israelite tribes. We Hindus have nothing to do with this export Jewish fan fiction started by Paul

Grok is honest. I asked this question on this post (check attached image). Question to Grok: I reported this post under the category of 'Hate, Abuse and Harassment' on X. What do you think will happen to my complaint? Grok's answer: Likely very little will happen to the post or the account, unfortunately. Your report is valid under X's rules, but enforcement in these cases is often weak or inconsistent. Why it qualifies as a violationX's Hateful Conduct Policy explicitly prohibits: Dehumanization of people based on caste (among other categories like race, ethnicity, religion). Targeting a group with slurs, tropes, or content that degrades them or reinforces harmful stereotypes. Calling an entire caste group "parasites" is a clear example of dehumanization — it reduces Brahmins (as a caste group) to vermin-like status. This fits the policy's examples of prohibited content. X added "caste" to its hateful conduct rules years ago partly due to issues like this in India. What typically happens with reports X reviews reports using a mix of automation and human moderators (24/7, with some training on context). Possible actions if they agree it's a violation include: Limiting the post's visibility (e.g., downranking in replies/search/timelines, removing from recommendations). Requiring the author to delete it (with temporary read-only restrictions). In repeat/severe cases, account suspension. In practice for caste-related posts like this: Many similar anti-Brahmin or caste-generalizing posts stay up, especially if framed as "social commentary," "anti-caste activism," or from certain ideological angles. Enforcement often feels uneven. High-engagement posts (this one already has thousands of views/likes) get more scrutiny but also more defense as "free speech." X under its current ownership prioritizes broader speech, so borderline or one-off posts frequently don't get removed unless there's clear incitement to violence, targeted harassment of individuals, or mass reports. Your complaint will almost certainly be reviewed, but the odds of visible action (removal or restriction) are low unless it escalates or the account has prior violations. You probably won't get a detailed update unless action is taken. Broader context Caste discourse in India is heated and polarized. Anti-Brahmin rhetoric has a long history in some political/activist circles (e.g., critiques of "Brahmanism" or historical privilege), while others see blanket attacks on Brahmins as caste hate. X tries to navigate local nuances but often defaults to minimal intervention on opinionated statements that don't cross into direct threats. If you want to follow up, you can check the post later or report related replies if they escalate into harassment. Mass reporting by others can sometimes tip the scale, but it doesn't always work. X isn't great at consistent moderation on this topic either way.

Badami Cave Temples: Sacred to Hindus, a monument to ASI…and that is the problem!

@KritaNishchayah @gyansadhak Online Hondaverse is getting cringier by the day.

All Indian men and Sharvan Kumar, Rama and Bhisma which is why they marry stacies that'll refuse from day 1 to stay with their patents and their parents stay in old age homes, just like the parents of Sharvana Kumar, Rama and Bhisma did 🤲🔥 Never felt more proud as a indian man

First They Mocked Hindu Traditions as “Ritualistic,” Then Rebranded the Same Rituals as Their Own!

@TradDeshastha @WillmooreK_OK This 'sadhana' shaming is a new weapon to discredit anyone who challenges your prejudices and does not make a show of fake religiosity on SM.

Socially Lib foids are like this - I want liberalism and not the trad morality which upholds the ideal of men and women marrying within their varna but I will still blame "religious place" or "ashram" for not doing anything to guide women. I want them to validate my choices so I am chimping out because they are sticking to their stance. I want the norms to be loosened so that I can date but don't want to face the pitfalls when I make the wrong choices. If someone criticises me, I will just call that victim blaming or just say that the men in my community are not upto my standards.

Vultures can't stop milking this case even after five years. I've gone through every word of that 167 page judgment. There was more than sufficient material on record to conclude that the whole rape angle was cooked up later. Crystal clear material. Completely politicised case.

To create the momentum to escape the economic drag of a volatile geopolitical environment, technology innovation must be turbocharged. AI has come at an opportune time. It will be an accelerator in this process and help the country leapfrog. Spend money, forego future tax revenues and let the animal spirits kick in. The world is seeing a resurgence in scientific research akin to that between the 1930s and 1970s. Those countries that take risks and invest will come out two decades from now richer and more powerful than ever. What may seem an elite pursuit at first will end up producing unimaginable benefits for society through dual use technologies, valuable IP, and an innovation and industrial ecosystem that grows exponentially. Failure to do so will relegate countries that depend on 20th century economic drivers to a permanent underclass in the 21st century. Invest $20B a year in AI compute. Offer 20 year tax holidays + multibillion dollar rewards for companies that a) deliver world class LLMs and robots, b) develop lithography machines, c) produce next generation materials and d) deliver breakthrough technologies in any major applied STEM domain. Set a condition that all profits should be onshored in INR permanently. Fund a blue-skies research program in partnership with local conglomerates and offer companies steep tax discounts for allocating CSR funds to the cause. Invest in a robust legal architecture for intellectual property. Watch the magic work. The country will not fall behind.

@halleyji Indic modernity is different saar

Chinese modernity? 🫰🫶

This is a practice mandated by constitution as per terms of covenant signed between Kingdom of Travancore and Union of India, at the time of its merger. Idukudan padinga da nu solradu. Various deities in temples of Kanyakumari are also accorded this honor acc to same provision

@TradDeshastha Well said.

The progressive liberal reads traditional society and sees women sacrificing themselves for men. The blackpiller reads the same society and sees men reduced to obedient provider drones with no individuality beyond duty and utility. One reads scripture and screams "misogyny". The other reads scripture and screams "longhouse". Both end up arriving at the same destination: resentment towards traditional values and the urge to deconstruct them. Some people cloak progressive instincts in the language of tradition. Same liberal assumptions, same modern premises, just wrapped in Sanskrit aesthetics and "muh civilization" rhetoric. I can tag accounts but that would create unnecessary lafda. Then there's the mirror image: redpill trad larpers who cloak sexual market cynicism and gender neurosis in the garb of Dharma. Easier to align with them online because the cultural and institutional game is already heavily tilted the other way. Both operate on half truths. Neither understands that Dharma was never about atomised self-interest in the first place.

Imagine threatening someone with these theatrics who has witnessed the terror of Red Guards firsthand, his family was publicly humiliated, his home was raided, his father was purged & imprisoned, his mother was forced to denounce her own husband & his sister was driven to suicide during the horrors of the Cultural Revolution. He is our enemy, but by the code of chivalry, he has my respect for his vision.

We examine Dr Bhagwat's suggestion for widespread intercaste marriage and assess the likely consequences of the same.
