@RajeevSrinivasa This charlatan @DalrympleWill blocked me after this 👇. Utter fraud.

@DalrympleWill What percentage should Britain designate a threshold beyond which Muslims are deemed a problem - 10%? 15? 27%? Which planet are you living on?

Muslims make up just 6% of the population of Britain. Conspiracy theories currently being aired by right wing bigots that they are secretly plotting the Islamic domination of the country are the 21st century Islamophobes' equivalent of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and just as idiotic, and as dangerous

@seemay Ganga is Hindu and Hindu is Ganga. Now GFY.

Who Owns the Ganga? A River of Many Faiths, Not One. thewire.in/culture/who-ow…

@PriyamvadaGopal Just to be clear, you are wrong. Also, just to be clear - which stinking gutter were you conceived in?

Just to be clear, Holi is a very regionally specific North Indian festival. Celebrate it but don't make it about 'British Hindus', still less 'British Indians.'

@razibkhan Khan, you idiot, your knowledge of India history, Hindu & Dharmic traditions lies between zero and non-existent. Better you stay in the lane you were trained in.

the problem that hindus have with muslims re the mughals is that they feel that muslims are nostalgic for a period when they were india's herrenvolk. and i think the feeling is based in fact, even if 99% of muslims are not ashraf but descendants of hindu peasants

@gauravsabnis Why does this pos Sabnis appear in my feed? Sabnis, which gutter were you conceived in?

India has twice the GDP of Brazil. But Brazil has invested twice as much in education over the last 12 years as India. And Brazil has 1/7th of India's pop. Brazil has invested a lot in education this century and seen quick positive results. India has invested in billionaires.

@MumukshuSavitri This Razib Khan’s knowledge of Indian history is sketchy & meagre but that doesn’t stop him from opining confidently.

Hindutva is the conscious recognition of oneself as part of a continuous Hindu civilization - taking pride in its memory, mindset, values, and ways of seeing the world and the choice to live that identity with clarity and confidence.

Subir - In which gutter were you conceived that you turned out to be such a wretched nalayak?

Mughals looted India? And took the loot where? That's why India was the richest kingdom in the world at that time? Little knowledge is a dangerous things, but is the basis of Sanghi confidence.

@MumukshuSavitri Subir Sinha @PoMoGandhi is only flattering himself. He has never been dangerous to anyone.

A little knowledge is indeed a dangerous thing. Especially when an uncouth, illiterate has the audacity to think he can distort history. Mughals looted India every chance they got. And a considerable amount of their loot went to the Islamic cities of Mecca & Medina. The rest of the loot was hoarded in their treasuries while common people starved and those who resisted their vile oppression were slaughtered. Hindus were stripped of their land, & taxed to starvation while many of our temples which used to hold the world' largest treasuries of wealth - were plundered and destroyed. A record of exact statistics on Mughal money sent to Mecca begins with Akbar in 1576, who sent Rs. 600,000 with costly gifts like 12,000 dresses of honor & extra cash for constructing a Khanqah. The average salary for a normal Indian at this time was just 3 rupees per month. In 1577, Akbar sent Rs. 500,000 Rupees & 10,000 Khilats to distribute in Mecca. Another Rs. 100,000 & costly gifts for the Sharif of Mecca. In 1578, Rs. 400,000 were sent. Meanwhile desperate starving Indians turned to cannibalism while reeling from 2 huge famines under Akbar. Since the time of Akbar, the Mughals snatched away the land of Lakhs of Hindu villagers if they dared to refuse to pay the tribute forcefully extracted from them. They were labelled “criminals”. Mughal generals would destroy villages, & chop Hindu's heads to display in the royal square, then hang them on trees or pillars to create terror. Manucci describes seeing 10,000 such heads once with hair shaven & moustaches reddened by blood. Every tower held 100 heads. In the 34 years that Manucci lived in Mughal provinces, he would see thousands of fresh beheaded Hindu heads everytime he travelled from Agra to Delhi. The stench of the corpses was so strong that travelers had to hold their noses & rush past the macabre towers of horror. Jahangir continued siphoning off the loot to the Islamic homeland when he became king In 1605, sending Rs. 100,000 to the Sharif of Mecca. In 1622, he again sent Rs. 200,000 to be utilized in trade & all the profits were distributed to the poor in Mecca NOT Indians. In 1628, Shahjahan who was a violent Islamic zealot at heart became king. He reintroduced Jizya tax to oppress Hindus, & immediately sent half a million rupees to Mecca, showering Lakhs more over the next decade. The Sharifs of Mecca were so grateful that they gifted him the key to the Kaaba. From 1645 to 1650, Shah Jahan send over a Million Rupees to Mecca along with costly gifts like candlesticks studded with 100 carat diamonds worth Lakhs more. In the meantime his exploitative policies created a devastating famine in 1630-32 which killed 7 million+ Indians in Gujarat & Deccan alone. Shahjahan did nothing to help the dying famine victims. But he did have enough time to fill 2 huge treasure houses full of stolen gold & silver, each 70ft by 30ft or total 4200 sq ft. (Fort Knox vault is 4000 sq ft & holds~ $290 Billion) In 1659, when Aurangzeb the rabid Islamic fanatic snatched the throne the first thing he did was send Rs. 7 Lakhs to Mecca, which was accepted by the Sharif in 1662. Aurangzeb enforced a yearly fee of Lakhs to be sent to Mecca & even endowed Muslims in Mecca with yearly stipends! While he oppressed Hindus with Jizya, Aurangzeb continued to send millions in money & gifts throughout his life to Mecca. In typical Mughal tradition he also ensured that millions of Indians died in a famine created by his bloodthirsty lust for power from 1662-1665. Aurangzeb’s own official Islamic biography Maāsir-I-Ālamgiri itself lists him proudly destroying 300+ Hindu temples in Mewar in just one year alone (1680) in his hateful quest to forcibly convert India into Islam. Where do you think all the wealth from so many hundreds of plundered Hindu temples went? His taxation was so oppressive that even his sister and son pleaded with him to reduce the burden on people. Aurangzeb refused to even consider it. Even when the last descendants of the Mughals were floundering to save their empire, they ensured that Indian money was sent to their Islamic homeland in Mecca. We are told to cry for the wretched condition of the last vestiges of the Mughal Empire, but the last remnants like Farrukhsiyar & Bahadur Shah 1 themselves enforced an annual subsidy of Rs. 100,000 to Mecca & sent millions in gifts as well. The Timurids robbed Hindus of billions of $$ of wealth & sent it all to their Islamic homeland while starving millions of Hindus to death. Anybody who looks at the evidence objectively can see that. Gone are the times when we were ignorant of our history and would let you get away with the lies. Best for ignorant losers to zip their mouths now - because "Sanghis" are carrying receipts these days.

The architecture of the Taj is not uniquely Persian. It is a synthesis of several Indic elements, including Hindu architectural traditions and motifs. The Hindu workers & their craftsmanship that you devalue is what brought it to fruition, not to mention the punishing tax on Hindus which financed it.

@OriginalGoan @KartikGadaATOM The design and architecture is what makes it impressive lol not its labor. This was done by Ustad Ahmad Lahouri who was a Muslim of Persian descent and he used Persian style architecture of Hasht-Behesht

Built by Muslims you imbecilic cunt

@RajivMessage Rajiv - those who worked on Laura Loomer to bring her into the Hindu fold don't seem to have educated her that Taj Mahal wasn't a 'symbol of love.'

@MrinalPande1 Mrinal-ji, in which sewer were you conceived? And was it with #1 or #2?

He is not wrong. Acc to latest NFHS data Over the period from 2005-06 to 2019-20, polygynous marriages decreased from 1.9% to 1.4%. Scheduled Tribes demonstrate the highest prevalence of polygamy, even there the trend is declining.

It was built by tens of thousands of localcraftsmen and labourers, drawn largely from the Hindu population of North India, on the orders of a Mughal tyrant and financed by the heavy revenue extracted from the land. You may want to revisit the romantic fables about Shah Jahan and Akbar promoted by Nehruvian-Marxist historians. Akbar’s reputation as a benign syncretist is vastly overstated. In comparison with Aurangzeb he looks moderate, but that is a very low bar.

Actually, it was built by Emperor Shah Jahan, who, while Muslim, had a Hindu mother and 3 out of 4 Hindu grandparents (his father's mother was also Hindu). For about a century, the Akbar-Jahangir-Shah Jahan sequence came close to creating a harmonious Hindu-Muslim synthesis. To the extent the Queen Elizabeth wrote letters of admiration to Akbar about the feat he had achieved.

@subhash_kak @Pratihara_1857 Professor Kak, shouldn’t you be checking if what he claims is right before issuing ‘Nice’ certificates. Prima facie, it sounds dubious.

@Pratihara_1857 Nice

What is time? In the Yoga Vāsiṣṭha, the sage Kākabhuśuṇḍi काकभुशुण्डि (not a relative 😀)—who exists outside normal time—describes having seen the events of the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata play out multiple times in different cycles.

This is unacceptable conduct even if it were a non-predator relatively safe animal. Not only does it violate the tiger’s space, it vitiates the sanctity of the reserve. These people should never have been allowed in. It is like going into the garbagriha of a temple and then breaking into a Bhangra dance. Uncivilised boors. Tadoba should insist on strict protocol - failure to follow it and you are instantly ejected from the park.

A tiger’s "flight-or-fight" threshold is unpredictable. Entering its critical distance triggers defensive aggression, turning a sighting into a fatal encounter. Crowding these apex predators disrupts their natural movement, leading to erratic behavior. ​Respecting the safety buffer distance isn't just civic sense; it’s survival. Keep windows rolled up and remain inside vehicles. Your viral video isn't worth a predatory strike. Prioritize wildlife conservation over proximity. Stay back, stay silent, and stay alive.

This is a disgrace. Not only does it violate the tiger’s space, it vitiates the sanctity of the reserve. These people should never have been allowed in. It is like going into the garbagriha of a temple and then breaking into a Bhangra dance. Uncivilised boors. Tadoba should enforce strict protocol.

Chaos reigns supreme after a #tiger attempts to cross the #Mohurli- #Chandrapur road near #Tadoba. More than the #tiger, passersby turned wild showcasing their true behavior. @LokmatTimes_ngp @etadoba @MahaForest @ntca_india @moefcc @mytadoba @lokmat

Our safety in the wild is in our hands. Unruly behaviour, such as this from Tadoba, can turn a safari into a tragedy in seconds. Protect yourself n respect the wildlife. Keep safe distance, follow rules. It’s a matter of life and death. 🙏📷🐾

@joysamcyborg He well may. But I ascribe no nefarious agenda to him. He genuinely believes this is the right course. I just see no point is shooting barbs at him, one those goals are aligned with ours (I am assuming it in your case).

@OriginalGoan Rajiv Malhotra will come to regret this. Mark my words.

Rajdeep Sardesai Indian’s quintessential sleepy uncle …. ….who hasn’t done much in his long boring useless life other than pandering to terrorists and fake secularism from his arm chair has for once in his mostly uneventful life stood up for something meaningful. Kudos

@joysamcyborg Malhotra has a proven track record. And there is plenty of evidence that he is very smart. One doesn't have to agree with his views on every matter to accept this. His critics, on the other hand, are cosplaying tough guys on X.

Rajiv Malhotra thinks he is very smart. He is not. He thinks he can groom Laura Loomer and use her for pushing Indian narrative. He has no idea what he is getting into. Laura’s personality is highly volatile, scandalous, manipulative and unpredictable. She is not someone you can or should try to groom. It will backfire on you if you try. Indian uncles have zero idea what some of these women are like. You should be staying miles away from them.

The people who cultivated her - such as Rajiv Malhotra - believe she there is some value in bringing her over. I will withhold judgement for now. But prima facie I see no downside to their effort. Speaking of LARPing on X. What you & I are doing is just that. Malhotra has a proven track record. Has spent own coin & time and put real points on the board and moved the needle - both in the arena of activism and scholarship on matters related to Hindu civilisation. I know what it was like in America in the 1990s battling the anti-India and anti-Hindu forces. At the very least, I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

What are you going to stick? The groyper and seculars will stick you back with all of Laura’s past racist tweets and make you look like a simp or a cuck. It’s so easy. Even I would be doing exactly that if I was a groyper. She is already irrelevant to India. She has no larger strategic value. She is not even of any value for larping on Twitter. Total waste.
