Indira Jaising gaaru seems to have argued in the court during the Sabarimala issue that morality can't be interpreted as something which is dictated by society at large because societal morality can be full of prejudice. If societal morality is full of prejudice then what is so special about this Constitutional morality that it is exempted of this prejudice phenomenon? This Constitutional morality supremacy is crazy. If and when this country truly decolonises itself then this term Constitutional morality should be officially sunset or at a minimum thoroughly reevaluated. So long as it's reign prevails we will stay colonised. It is an alien concept foisted upon this society! livelaw.in/top-stories/mo…

A bull electrocuted to death in Malviya Nagar, UP A bull was electrocuted in Malviya Nagar, Gonda, near the Gurudwara in Uttar Pradesh due to an open power line. Residents have been complaining about this for 3 months with no action. This is a major safety risk for both animals and residents! @UPPCLLKO @MVVNLHQ @myogiadityanath @myogioffice @CMOfficeUP @UPGovt @gondapolice @dmgonda2 Please address this immediately before more lives are lost.

@girishnanded @halleyji youtube.com/shorts/b-ZvzC7… Here is tharoorian definition

@SubramaniReddy3 @halleyji "tharoorian argument" 🧐

"Am not too bothered by the state of affairs in India man. Don't pull me into your day-to-day affairs and your concerns on your country's changing demographics and shrinking % of practicing Hinduism and proliferation of Hinduphobic Hindus etc. I am comfortable where I am in a <5% Hindu society. Don't pull me into your Hindu Rashtra narratives. It isn't very relevant to me. I believe in Church-State separation and Secular Liberalism as the uber ideals for public sphere. Religion is largely a private affair. Also, frankly speaking I feel some of us are more Hindu than you folks. Numbers don't matter. What matters is how sincere and trained you are on Hindu core and how much Hinduism you actually practice. Strange as it may sound, we are better than a lot of you on this aspect" This is the view of some NRIs whose content I encounter here. Nothing wrong I guess. One of many perspectives on this matter.

@halleyji Anything and everything is not plural! What we say and do is plural. A tree branches off from 'The God' - is only plural. The moment there are many such trees, you know, how can there be some such thing? Good expose!

@halleyji Modern constitution of America is moulded in an evolved "closed corporation - where brotherhood is within the corporation" - as described by ambedkar for some other abrahamism.

Interesting take on how Hinduism is more Pluralism friendly while the OG Euro-American pluralism was prinarily meant to handle different denominations within Christianity and not exactly what is happening today in the name of Multi-culturalism. "Despite Ramaswamy’s attempts to blur and obscure Hinduism’s true beliefs, it is nevertheless a polytheistic religion, and pluralism is the natural worldview it produces. But America was not built as a pluralistic society. It was built as a Christian society, which is what made it arguably the freest and most prosperous nation in history. Even the blessed religious freedom we cherish in America was originally intended as a measure to prevent denominational differences between Christians from becoming violent. The men who wrote these protections into our constitution weren’t envisioning a pluralistic public square so Vishnu worshipers could hold public office. They were thinking about how to navigate a specifically Christian public square that could account for different kinds of legitimate Christians, such as presbyterians, congregationalists, and baptists. It was not an open door for Hindus to cheapen our faith, demote our Lord and savior, and lecture Christians about who Jesus really is"

EU banned this in 2008. Indian households still buy it by the dozen in 2026. And it has been sitting inside your cupboard, slowly releasing chemical fumes into the air your children breathe every single day. 😔 What makes this worse — the manufacturers print “keep away from children” right on the packaging. They know exactly what is inside. They just keep selling it anyway. ⚠️ Your grandmother never needed petrochemicals to keep her sarees safe. Neem, cloves, eucalyptus — nature already gave us everything we need. We just replaced wisdom with convenience without asking why. 🧬 The switch takes five minutes. The protection lasts a lifetime. 🌿 Your family’s health should be in your control.

@halleyji For any work, you need an ecosystem. That is provided by the family and jati. Jati can loosly be compared to today's university! You dismantle it, and create a exploitative authoritarian state regulated/managed one.

Been seeing some RomilaT DevduttP shares on this topic. It reminded me of how our RW is also beholden to this glorious pre-caste egalitarian era imagination. This story is dominant on RW side of the house. Or whatever you want to call this wing. Basically pro Hindu wing that more often not also bats for BJP. Our origin story: Originally it was Vedic egalitarianism that ruled the roost on this land. Anyone can become anything with grit, guts gumption and some luck. Life was great. Then something happened. Caste solidified. Evil endogamy was enforced. This made us weak over the years. Mughals and other Islamic invaders won because of this weakness. British colonialism won because of this weakness. Constitution and Modernity will emancipate us from this curse. But hey we won't be secular atheist materialist degenerates nor will be abandon Hinduism and convert out to other religions. We won't lose our kalcharr. We will bring back glory of Vedic egalitarianism once again by Annihilating caste and establishing Hindu Jati once again. This is just a story we tell ourselves. Reality may appear otherwise. But many beholden to this narrative power.

@halleyji 'Anyone can become anything' - is a weapon to snatch agency from people. Point is, any jati lost its skill to state, has been able to retain any agency or gain a stake? No! state and/or capitalists gain from it. Ex: do kummaras run utensil industry or state/capitalists?

@halleyji @PoojaPophale Swas it true in Europe? Pre industrial era? Were any one was becoming anything there? How was it working their, any info about it? These people extrapolate today's reality onto those days, to make a point!

@halleyji @PoojaPophale Isn't 'anyone can become anything' a post industrial phenomenon, where state started to snatch the skilling from jatis into its colleges!

@halleyji They want to end all sorts of kula vruthis. Not just Brahmins. Different instruments are used for different jatis! Ex:tech is used to create utensil industry, and kummaris don't have any stake in it. just frame them as poor, due of their vruthi(vruthi shaming). So they come out

గుణసుందరి కథ అట .. ఏం గున సుందరి కత అనచ్చు కదా .. న అంటే ఏమిటి ణ ఏమిటి.. త అంటే ఏమిటి థ అంటే ఏమిటి.. ఓహో ణ అనటం మీకు మాత్రమే వచ్చు అని మీకు తల పొగరా. బ్రాహ్మనులకు మాత్రమే నోరు తిరుగుతుందని మీ అభిప్రాయమా ఇదిగో ఇదే బ్రాహ్మనాదిపత్యం అంటే వాడి పేరు ప్రణవ్ అట ఏం ప్రనవ్ అనకూడదా? ణవ్ అంటేనే పలుకుతాడా వాడు నవ్ అంటే పలకడా? ఇదొక రీసెర్చ్ దీనిని మల్లీ వీరు ప్రచురించటం.. సో సిల్లీ..

@halleyji So, state is comfortable with it, as rights are given by the state! It is in the position of dominance and strength. While responsibilty driven realm is outside of the constitutional framework!

@halleyji Leaving inheritance is the last thing where responsibility driven by dharma ends. And that is the starting point of constitution kicking in and rights start to play the game!

@halleyji Once that link is broken, that means you left that responsibility. You are ripe to take any course in any college and become a purohita or an engineer. It is not that state don't want purohitas. It's institution should be dominant. Not a jati.

@halleyji I think the attack on Brahmins is because, some are still continuing in their kula vruthi. Any state created college for creating purohitas, is not finding the traction they expected. Hence, a continuous attack just that these people leave that inheritance based vruthi.

@halleyji Modernity is an evolved abrahamism! Hence it is very much compatible to it. While for hindus, you lost the jati and vruthi, and you are orphaned!

Possible. But not everyone is as atomised as we are. May be modernity is more in favour of Abrahamic model. Homogenous congregational setups with a binary worldview of us vs them and a mission to convert more and more to be like them.

@halleyji Point is urbanization has suddenly brought hindus into a clueless insecure state! Where they have to focus on themselves more!

I think urbanised Hindus are too comfortable being atomic. Me, my family and my relatives kind. Innately we seem to have suppressed the broader Hindu community gene. I don't understand how people can feel Sab Changa Si and not worry about shrinking demographics even when in their own state it is staring at them right in their face (This is a reaction to a specific state politician simping for syncretism. But applies broadly) There is some hope that we seem to be under that we shall syncretise and harmonize anything and everything. Demographics don't matter. We can have harmonious coexistence so on. May be they are true. Given the sheer number of people who are comfortable living in societies abroad where Hindus are <5%, may be it is true none of this matters. The harmonious coexistence school is correct perhaps. It doesn't matter how many Hindus are around you. You can retain your own strand of Hinduness so long as you have your clique insured. Your family, your personal sadhana is all that matters perhaps. You need not bother about how many like you exist around you. How many other Hindu communities are around you etc. What matters to you is your coccoon. Your clique. I think most Hindus live like this. Hence we don't bother about shrinking Hindu demographics in India and we don't mind migrating to places where Hindus are a tiny tiny minority.
