Legacy of British ICS: white sahibs ruling ‘native slaves’ from palatial bungalows with dozens of servants. Post-1947, brown sahibs took over.. (IAS perks somehow untouched by Nehruvian socialism). Fresh IAS enter SDM track at Pay Level 10, five levels above a Junior Engineer’s Level 6 start. Engineers rarely become Jt. Secretaries in their lifetimes. India needs to scrap IAS & recruit experts laterally fm private sector.

This is what an IAS officer’s house looks like. They also get servants, drivers & security - all funded by taxpayers. No other country gives such luxury to bureaucrats. Despite all these perks, there is no accountability and corruption is insane.

Dhurandhar 1 had a different kind of craze. Pure mania! Almost everyone you meet has seen it and talks about it. It felt organic, like a cultural wave you couldn’t escape. The film pulled in around 1300–1400 crores. On the other hand, Pathan and Jawan? I’ve hardly come across anyone who has actually watched them or discussed them in real life as if they’re “the thing.” No street buzz, no random conversations, no everyday recall, just silence outside their fanbase. Yet somehow, both films magically ended up collecting almost the same numbers as Dhurandhar1, 1100–1200 crores. How?

"Interestingly, Nepal’s king, Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah, had suggested to Nehru that Nepal be made a province of India. But Nehru rejected the offer on the grounds that Nepal was an independent nation and must remain so.” – Pranab Mukherjee, in his book - The Presidential Years

Wish Nehru followed his own advice then! Arguably the most narcissistic PM India had ever had. Constantly worried about his international image & compromising India’s interests - letting go of UNSC permanent member state, sacking 50,000 soldiers in 1950 in the name of Gandhian Ahimsa - making Indian defence vulnerable for Chinese aggression, perhaps coveting a Nobel Peace Prize in addition to the Bharat Ratna.. not letting Nepal integrate into India when a merger was offered… he reportedly asked - what will the world say? … one can go on.. Historians need to be objective, Sir - even if their degrees are in Sociology.

“Self-admiration is always a dangerous thing in an individual. It is equally dangerous in a nation, for it makes it self-satisfied and indolent and the world passes by leaving it behind.” Jawaharlal Nehru, September 1928.

@Pawankhera So, what? Russia would have tipped off the same Dhurandhar - Ajit Doval. As a part of his job, he must be getting tip-offs from multiple global agencies in his network, not just Russians!

Not Buddhism per se, but the Buddhist insistence on Ahimsa, much like Gandhian ahimsa - weakened India. Nehru naively believed no country would attack India, least of all his friend China. He even forced 50,000 people in the army to retire, thinking the country was safe as long as he kept virtue-signalling that India followed Gandhian ahimsa. ‘Like Trump, Nehru believed he’d get a Nobel Peace Prize. Bharata Ratna wasn’t enough!’ Well, China saw India’s vulnerability and attacked - Nehru lost 38,000 sq. km of land and his face. The Buddhist Mauryan rulers were equally naive in the 2nd century BCE - Demetrius invaded and captured territories right up to Mathura. History repeats itself.

We have long read about and mulled over the questions The Sword of Buddha brings to the foreground—Non-violence vs. the need to defend one’s country. Glad Dr. Anand Ranganathan has recommended it. Watch his video, then read the book. Thank you, @ARanganathan72 ! @BluOneInk amzn.in/d/0bx6yl8I

@greatbong @NagpurKaRajini Showing Narendra Modi in a positive light is somehow the same as targeting Indian Muslims? Don’t know about 4 hours of Durandhar, but she makes absolutely’no sense’ in her 2 Minutes video.

@theskindoctor13 This 'rough-necking' devotees exists in many temples, including Tirumala. They snatch away and spoil those two seconds of divine bliss during Lord Venkateswara’s darshan. You end up leaving feeling irritated rather than blessed.

THE SKIN DOCTOR@theskindoctor13·
Both videos are from Baba Baidyanath Dhaam, Deoghar. The first shows how common devotees are treated, and the second shows how VIPs are treated. This is same in most of the famous temples. This difference must end. You can’t expect unity and brotherhood in a religion if the rich and powerful receive pampered treatment at temples while ordinary devotees are treated like an inconvenience. I understand that the sheer number of devotees makes it difficult to give everyone ample time, but things can still be managed with dignity, through better crowd management, token or time-slot systems, clearly marked queues, and strict enforcement of the same rules for everyone. Whatever is decided for the common people, the same rules should apply to the rich and powerful as well.

Every devotee deserves a proper and dignified darshan. How can some be treated as VIPs in God’s temple while the rest struggle like this. Many temples in India have well managed systems for smooth darshan. Such systems should be implemented across the country. Most importantly, VIP darshan culture needs to be ended immediately. Faith must be equal for all.

The "protection money" narrative of Ms. Gazala Wahab - is a myth. Calling Jizya a "military exemption fee" is also a lie when there were Hindu generals like Raja Man Singh leading largely Hindu regiments in Mughal army. No exemption from military service to Hindus, either. The reality of Jazya was state-sponsored extortion: 1️⃣ Status Shift: If you didn't pay, you violated the “dhimma “ (contract) and hence ceased to be a "Dhimmi" and became a Harbi (an enemy in the land of war). 2️⃣ Blood is Halal: Once declared a Harbi, your life and property were no longer protected. Your "blood was lawful" (Mubah al-Dam), meaning you could be killed or enslaved without legal penalty. Applied to entire families. 3️⃣ Enslavement: Under rulers like Aurangzeb, those who couldn't pay often had their wives and children seized and sold into slavery to settle the "debt." 4️⃣ State Terror: When Hindus protested Jizya in 1679, Aurangzeb didn't "exempt" them—he ordered elephants to trample the crowd. If the "protection" fee is the only thing keeping your head attached to your torso, it’s not a social contract—it’s a hostage situation. While this was #MughalHistory, the situation under rulers like Khalji was far worse.

@AbhishBanerj What happened to people who were unable to pay protection money - Jazia? Their heads still attached to the torso? How different is this from the Italian Mafia, or your Hindi movie-goons who walk into the market and demand protection money from the poor green-grosser? Absurd!

Did any Hindu kings demand protection money from Muslims, Parsi”s, Jews, or Christian’s, ever?

Here, @ghazalawahab proudly proclaims Islam is not a supremacist religion. In same sentence, without even being ironic, she says Islam protected non-Muslims by charging ‘jizya’. Makes a great case for Hindus to charge protection tax from Muslims in India.
