Brains sandpapered by years of state propaganda cannot differentiate between a 40 year old factory and a 7000 year old continuous civilization. A civilization can build a factory but the converse is not true. There is no replacement for culture, philosophy, art and freedom, but those who lack it will never know its value. As for the relative difference in growth, it is largely down to working age population. With that edge disappearing, China’s consumption growth has flat lined. In response, automating away into dystopia is rebranded as national rejuvenation. x.com/suryakane/stat…

How do Indian supremacists reconcile having “cultural superiority” but severely underperforming a country w “nothing to offer the world in terms of culture, art, philosophy and political thought”? Reminds me of 19th century Chinese cope about cultureless barbarian Westerners

@AbhishBanerj Nope. Central leadership interferes too much in state level politics. And that will destroy their chances. Same as in TN and Kerala. They don't understand the emotions of the people of the southern states and end up making blunders.

Proto-Elamite? The Pashupati seal has an elephant, a water buffalo and a rhinoceros. Ancient Elam was centred in southwestern Iran. Elephants, water buffalos and rhinoceroses are not native to ancient Elam. BTW, they are native to India. Also, the figure is seated in a Yogic posture. Is Yoga also Elamite now? Seriously? Your profile says you are a professor. I don't mean to sound rude, but your students deserve a refund. And seriously, Western universities need to improve their hiring practices.

This isn't Shiva. It's more likely adapted from proto-Elamite iconography, showing an Eurasian deity "lord of animals." Indian history is amazing, wonderful, and fantastic -- It's well worth getting it right.

There's some concerted campaign going on using high summer temperatures in India, trying to blame it on the govt and incite people against the govt. But just in last few decades, 1998, 2002, 2005, 2010, 2015 all were severe heat waves with many cities touching 40+ and more than 1000+ deaths recorded all over the country. Let me be blunt - most issues, from climate to accidents to infra to students' happening today were much worse before in India. It wasn't so much in public perception because of less or no SM/internet/media penetration. But now because India has a young Gen-Z population, born only in late 90s and 2000s, who don't know about the past except the current govt era, there's an organized attempt to incite them by taking every issue in India, amplifying it as the "worst", making it as "only happens in India", and blaming it squarely on the govt. Taking screenshots of weather maps when the sun is overhead India at 2pm to claim only India is suffering from such high temperatures and heat, not even Arabia or Africa, is nothing but sinister narrative setting. The idea is to destabilize India politically, weaken the government, manipulate the public to oppose certain strategic projects, force India to align with certain countries and globalist objectives. As simple as that. While in India, people may see this as this opposition party or that leader using such tactics to attack the govt, the actual strategy and seeding of this narrative is coming from outside India. The politics just reacts to it in India. Even if the BJP were in opposition and the INC was the govt, and if they wanted to destabilize the govt, they would have used the same tactics.

I dislike and mistrust all closed systems of thought I particularly dislike Islam because it demands child marriage, female genital mutilation, the beating of wives, the killing of infidels, the unending promotion of the worst aspects of the male ego, and a complete refusal to contemplate multiculturism All of which are contrary to the values I hold Are you telling me, Maliq, that this all is caused by a fear of the truth ?
Maliq@MasterMaliq

Non-Muslims, be honest for once: Why do you REJECT Islam when it’s the only true religion? Why the hate for our Prophet Muhammad? Are you scared of the truth?

This translates to ₹450 crore every month. ₹5,400 crore annually. And this is just one scheme. The scale of fraud could grow even further once Aadhaar seeding exposes the full extent of duplication and ghost beneficiaries. Now imagine the loot across other schemes and across the entire welfare architecture of the West Bengal government. Mamata Banerjee and her nephew have looted Bengal with both hands.

It is deeply unfortunate that a litigant before the Supreme Court has chosen to respond to an unfavourable verdict by imputing motives to the highest constitutional court of the land. One may disagree with a judgment, critique its reasoning, or seek a review through lawful means — that is part of democratic discourse. But to suggest that the Court has “abdicated” its responsibility or consciously enabled disenfranchisement is reckless, irresponsible, and corrosive to institutional faith. The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of SIR after hearing extensive arguments from all sides. To dismiss the verdict as predetermined merely because it does not align with one’s political or ideological position betrays contempt not just for the Court, but for constitutional process itself. Even more astonishing is the attempt by the petitioner to cast himself as the lone guardian of democracy and morality. This sanctimony would perhaps be easier to take seriously if it came from someone with a record of intellectual honesty and institutional respect. Instead, it comes from a man who has repeatedly thrived on disruption, distortion and political theatrics while masquerading as an “activist”. The right to critique institutions does not extend to systematically undermining them whenever outcomes prove inconvenient. India’s democracy is far stronger than the cynicism of self-appointed crusaders who believe that every institution is legitimate only when it agrees with them. Jai Hind.

I did not to go to the Supreme Court today to hear its order in the SIR case. As a litigant in this case, and as someone who was given the honour of addressing the court, I should have been hopeful, anxious, or at least curious. I was not. The case was decided long ago. We were only waiting for the transcript and its fine print. The course of this case was settled in August last year. Having heard arguments against SIR for three days, the court moved away from examining the constitutionality of SIR and effectively converted itself into a Consumer Forum, focused on grievance redressal and arbitration, rather than constitutional principles. The case was effectively decided when the apex court allowed the ECI to rush through the Bihar elections without first deciding the matter, and without requiring the ECI to rectify even the most glaring defects in post-SIR rolls. There was little left of this case once the ECI proceeded with the second and then the third phase of SIR, while the Hon’ble Court leisurely heard arguments about its constitutionality. SIR had become a fait accompli. Any remaining doubt disappeared when the Hon’ble judges observed in open court that no one would be allowed to obstruct SIR. The final nail in the coffin of this petition was hammered during the hearing of another petition before the same Bench, when an Hon’ble judge remarked that millions denied their right to vote need not fret, since they could vote in the next election. At that moment, the court abdicated its constitutional responsibility. Shorn of legalese, the simple truth is that the highest court of a constitutional democracy has already authorised the disenfranchisement of millions of citizens — at least 59 million so far, could go up eventually to 100 million. It was inconceivable that the court would now declare SIR unconstitutional and annul all post-SIR elections. The lawyers were waiting for the the exact legal reasoning deployed to arrive at a conclusion that was already known. Such legal gymnastics did not interest me. Some friends were looking for some crumbs in the hope that the court might at least wish to save face, if not save the voters. Eventually that too did not happen. Polite noises apart, the Court has handed over a carteblac to the ECI to do what it pleases with the voters list. ADR vs Union of India (2026) is to our times what ADM Jabalpur vs Shivkant Shukla (1976) was to the previous assault on our democracy. We must hope that the SIR judgment does not mark the crumbling of the last constitutional wall, as ADM Jabalpur once did. We must believe that one day this constitutional abdication by the guardian of the Constitution will be recognised for what it was. And reversed. Jai Hind!

Vembu is a giant. One should respect his achievements But this post illustrates what's wrong with H-society. The traditional elites are too cut off from mainstream yuppie discourse. E.g. your maTha heads have no idea how discourse on H-matters is shaping up in fora like X. And Hindu-side gets represented by deracinated achievers from secular sphere like the person below whose understanding of religion etc is superficial at best (given how busy they are with laukika matters).

Laura Loomer appears not to know this, but as a Hindu, the entire Universe, all of it, is the Divine. Going to a Church and praying to Jesus is perfectly fine and I have done it myself on many occasions. I often quote the Bible and my favorite verse is Matthew 25:40 where Jesus says: 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'" That is the call to service. What would be a sin for me as a Hindu would be to call what other people hold sacred as "Demonic", which unfortunately a Christian pastor recently did to Hindu deities. That is why Sanatana Dharma is the most tolerant spiritual system in the world. The world needs to understand the eternal Dharma, if we all have to get along.

🚨Why don’t we see any Muslims girls in the rape statistics? Because it’s a rape jihad targeting non-Muslim girls. Muslim men don’t rape their own because that would be haram — an offense to Allah.

But if a religion's spokesmen make it clear that it wants to take over a country, isn't that a threat ? And if some moderate Muslims can reassure us that the vast majority of Muslims do not constitute a threat, could they please speak out ?
Maliq@MasterMaliq

Some non Muslims genuinely believe every Muslim is a threat, that even peaceful Muslims are secretly plotting something. Even Muslims who openly condemn extremism still get accused of “hiding an agenda.” That level of paranoia is honestly extreme.

In the early 1700s, a tiny, cash-strapped theological school called the Collegiate School of Connecticut was on the verge of financial collapse. It desperately needed money to construct its very 1st permanent building in New Haven. The school's trustees reached out to a wealthy London merchant named Elihu Yale. Yale had spent nearly 30 yrs working for the East India Company at Fort St. George in Madras (now Chennai) looting India & eventually rising to become the Governor-President of the settlement. While in India, Elihu Yale amassed an immense personal fortune through private trading: specifically in Golconda diamonds, high-grade textiles & spices & by participating in the Indian Ocean slave trade. He was eventually ousted from his post by the East India Company for rampant illegal profiteering & corruption. In 1718, responding to the school's plea for help, Elihu Yale sent a massive cargo shipment from London to Boston. The shipment did not contain cash. It contained: - 9 large bundles of exotic Indian textiles (including fine muslins, calicos & silks from Madras). - 417 books. - A portrait of King George I. The school sold the Indian textiles & goods in Boston for the staggering sum of £800, which at the time, was enough money to completely fund the construction of their brand-new wooden college building. In pure gratitude for this South Asian windfall, the trustees officially renamed the entire institution Yale College. Yale University would literally not exist w/o India. Its very name, its 1st major building & its foundational survival were directly paid for by wealth extracted from India.

I have a controversial and nuanced take on this. I agree with the spirit of this post while disagreeing with the content. Hindu theology does not say that the gods of other nations are demons, simply because they are foreign. On the other hand, it says that the wise call the truth by many names. The natural tendency of a Hindu mind when it travels abroad is to honour the local god there or syncretise him/her with a known Hindu god (which crudely is called Sanskritization). This is how most of the world was 2000 years ago. Greeks, Romans, Persians - all of these empire building powers honored the local gods of wherever they conquered, for the most part. Nothing has happened to Hindus on this part. They have not changed their ancient mindset. But, the times have changed. The dominant power (geopolitical and demographic) now are not Greeks or Romans or Persians but Christianity and Islam which are theologically bigoted and declare that the gods of gentiles (all nations except Israel) are demons and satanically inspired. Hindus should now realise that this ancient attitude is useless now and infact dangerous in the Christian and Islamic world. Whatever respect you show towards Jesus or Allah, a Christian or Muslim won’t reciprocate and in fact, he will double down on its bigotry of you because of the blasphemy that you have committed in their eyes (equating their so-called creator god with your so-called satanic demons). Eg. 1 Corinthians 10 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry…. the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons,not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons. Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than he? Hindus should realise that the best thing they can do to engage with Christianity and Islam is by maintaining a healthy distance from them. Sure, the Bible has some nice verses, especially the Psalms. Sure, the Bible tells a very interesting and moving story (unlike another religious book that contains random ramblings of a rabble-rouser). Sure, Catholic and Orthodox art, architectures, and liturgies are aesthetically amazing to enjoy. But, so do the Harry Potter books and Lord of the Rings. You can enjoy these books but you don’t need to go out of the way to join a super-obsessed hardcore HP or LoTR fan club that believes that all other books are bad, just to demonstrate that you enjoy all kinds of books. And it is not the bigotry of “some pastors” or “some imaams” who believe that the gods of gentiles are demons. If one reads the entire Bible, rather than cherry picked nice verses, it will become as clear as daylight that it is a core theological issue and one cannot change this by arguing one’s way out of it or syncretism.

Although the concept of ritual slaughter in itself is dark enough, there’s something singularly sinister about how Islam approaches it when it mandates the annual reenactment of Abraham’s story. On the surface, it looks like a genuinely moral idea that the sacrificial victim must be something dear to you, but scratch the surface and you’ll see a whole apparatus that desensitizes you to human emotions like a potent drug. Don’t get me wrong, many living religions have ritual slaughter at its doctrinal core. Vedic and Shakti traditions have bali, for instance. But while it requires specific animals, it does not structurally mandate that the victim be personally dear, nor is it a test of the worshipper’s relinquishment. Christianity and Judaism, neither practices mandatory animal sacrifice today. Judaism suspended it after the Temple fell in 70 AD. Christianity flipped the concept entirely: God sacrificed His “beloved son” as the ultimate, final offering. Buddhism and Jainism are all about nonviolence anyway. As for Zoroastrianism, blood offering used to be a thing in the early Indo-Iranian cult but has already been obsolete since the days of Zoroaster. Sikhism, again, no. Shinto and Taoism too, no. In sum, while other traditions abandoned the practice or use it strictly for divine propitiation, Islam uniquely retains it as an active, mandatory exercise in giving up what you personally hold dear. This has ramifications. When you do this over and over again, for years, for generations, without question, without second thoughts, you become immune to the trappings of human emotions. Killing an innocent becomes that must easier for you than it would be for a fellow human. You start valuing life dangerously less than you would as a human being. Now, while some reformists might argue that interpreting qurbani as mandatory slaughter is wrong and that it just means relinquishment in general, that isn’t true. You cannot substitute the animal with an inanimate object, vegetation, or even by donating the equivalent amount of money to charity. You cannot “slaughter” your favorite cucumber, Allah won’t accept it. You cannot donate your entire life’s earnings to a homeless bum, Allay won’t take that either. The slaughter, the slow, maximally agonizing butchery is a non-negotiable and surah al-Kawthar makes it clear as daylight. As does al-Hajj. And al-An‘am. And all such roads lead to the one single inevitable. Death. Terrorism. Cannon fodder. Human shield. And everything life-defying you could possibly think of.
