The new Prime Minister of Nepal. His first entry will give heart burn to many Liberals.

Thats why Kargil war victory was so important for youngsters like me. But the immediate hit on parliament stunted that sense of pride. Watching paxi asses getting kicked even if it is in a movie - that is satisfying.

Dhurandhar hit me hard - even after repeated watches - because of that memory. I hope that at least some pieces of what the movie showed are true. Every news of unknown men reminds me of that time. This is perhaps a wound that will never heal for people like me.

IC814 is a painful episode for youngsters like. In an instant, we realized how weak we are from outside and from within. Most youngsters like me had some sense that we are weak in our overall defenses but IC814 proved how we are within.

@manohar_sram You have to look at his own life experience. His wife and his vahini especially went thru unimaginable hardship in their lives. Yet they survived only because of their traditional values and sanskaras. He was hardly a person who would've opposed the arranged marriage mechanism.

Look at how those tribesmen respond and tell me they're "low iq". Goras are the scourge on earth. Literal rakshasas. They vilified and demonised and uprooted everything that was good and amplified everything that was bad.

To whomsoever this may concern Tradition isn’t a shelf for old trophies. Bharat always knew that for culture to survive, it must breathe & evolve. Clinging to status quo in the garb of upholding our tradition, is not protecting our heritage, but suffocating it.

Simple. But of course, we are in to "need to chastise Modi" mode. Absolute idiots or worse absolute vileness!!

Kuch bhi bakwaas. A single significant political reversal and be assured we will see...

India is not a low trust society ffs. Things at random 1) ever noticed parents travelling with kids in crowded coaches? Some kindly person will say leave them with me and the parents will sight unseen do just that and then pick their kids up when their stop comes. This extends across trains / buses, kids being handed over for temporary care is something very unique to our society. 2) almost all of us give our spare keys to our neighbours, why? Because of implicit trust. Does this happen in "high trust " societies? 3) you can test this even today, go to some random shop, pick up stuff for 300-400 bucks, say sorry sir phone is down can I pay you later, 8/10 times they will say "no problem". Try this anywhere else and you will be locked up for shop lifting. 4) heck the very lack of formal paperwork across society is proof of this. Kirana stores will give credit to their buyers without questions being asked. They will get credit from their stockists without a single signed document. Supplier credit even in MSME sectors is done on face value alone and on and on and it goes. 5) the entire agricultural ecosystem running into lakhs of crores is driven by"word" and verbal commitments. That's it. 6) even our lack of systematic surveillance for instance trains carry millions and millions of passengers daily, with minimal checking by TC's and yet fare evasion is a very miniscule factor. 7) even our crime stats are so low precisely because we are a high trust society. Even in low income areas (in fact mostly in low income areas) most people don't even lock doors, try this in a ghetto in the US and your house will be robbed in hours. 8) when was the last time a period of calamity was used for mass looting? Ever? Even during riots looting of stores (so common in"high trust" places like the US and UK) doesn't happen. Heck during the Mumbai / Chennai floods so many strangers opened up their homes to other strangers, fed them, clothed them...show me one "high trust society" that does this. Anecdotally I have so many examples. During the 2023 floods in Chennai, networks went down, cash was short and UPI was not working, a kirana store near my house basically said he will supply goods without immediate payment, just wrote down the number / amount on a book and expected everyone to pay up later. I was curious and visited him a week later and asked if everyone did pay up and he said except maybe 2-3 bad apples everyone paid up and some even added small amounts as appreciation for his generosity. Another time I was in Delhi, showed up with only 15 mins to spare and saw that I was in T1 when it was T2 (or something like that). Luckily the cabbie was still there and I asked him if he will take me. Sadly I forgot I didn't have cash and didn't have time to stop at an ATM (pre UPI) told him I will add his account and wire him the money once I reached the gate. He just said koi nahi sir tension mat lo. Dropped me, and I paid him and he just sent me a smiley on WhatsApp. We are a beautiful culture, we trust implicitly. Our issue is with our state and its bureaucracy which no one trusts. This doesn't make us low trust.

Arnab I relived with you my great experience with great men in 70s when I was in my late 20s, early 30s - experience no one can imagine. Achyut Patwardhan told me I would recollect those days as the best period of my life. Todays gen wouldn't know he led the 1942 movement!

महाराष्ट्र के 19 वर्षीय युवा वैदिक साधक श्री देवव्रत महेश रेखे जी ने अद्वितीय साधना और अद्भुत स्मरण शक्ति से 2000 वैदिक मंत्रों को कंठस्थ करते हुए जो अभूतपूर्व उपलब्धि अर्जित की है, वह पूरे आध्यात्मिक जगत के लिए प्रेरणा का नव-दीप है। शुक्ल यजुर्वेद की माध्यन्दिन शाखा के 'दण्डकर्म पारायणम्' को 50 दिनों तक अखंड, शुद्ध और पूर्ण अनुशासन के साथ संपन्न करना, हमारी प्राचीन गुरु-परंपरा के गौरव का पुनर्जागरण है। मेरे लिए विशेष गर्व का विषय है कि यह वैदिक अनुष्ठान पवित्र काशी की ही दिव्य धरा पर सम्पन्न हुआ। उनके परिवार, आचार्यों, संत-मनीषियों और उन सभी संस्थाओं का हृदय से अभिनंदन, जिनके सहयोग से यह तपस्या सिद्धि को प्राप्त हुई। देवव्रत जी, आपकी यह उपलब्धि आने वाली पीढ़ियों के लिए प्रेरणा का प्रकाश-स्तंभ बने, ऐसी मंगलकामना के साथ हार्दिक बधाई।

What 19 year old Vedamurti Devavrat Mahesh Rekhe has done will be remembered by the coming generations! Every person passionate about Indian culture is proud of him for completing the Dandakrama Parayanam, consisting of 2000 mantras of the Shukla Yajurveda’s Madhyandini branch, in 50 days without any interruption. This includes several Vedic verses and sacred words recited flawlessly. He embodies the finest of our Guru Parampara. As the MP from Kashi, I am elated that this extraordinary feat took place in this sacred city. My Pranams to his family, the several saints, seers, scholars and organisations from all over India that have supported him.
