This is the late Shobha Majumdar of Bengal. In 2021 this 85 year old elderly mother was brutally thrashed on every part of her body by Mamata’s TMC goons just because her son Gopal Mazumdar was a BJP worker. Many of us saw the heartbreaking video of her weeping with injuries all over her face and head. She died a few weeks later. May we never forget the injustice that was done to her. The pain and agony of such innocent souls became a Karmic curse for TMC and Mamata . The Universe never forgets.

We all know how Bollywood whitewashed one community and made Hindu villains most often. However, everyone must know how Kollywood or Tamil cinema has for long milked casteism through its plots. Unfortunately by most ace filmmakers. Our friend @labstamil is a great handle for presenting those facts with engaging threads.

The surveys of British missionary & official, William Adam in the 1830s reveal startling data directly contradicting colonial myths about Sati in Bengal. Important 🧵 Please save for future reference. What Adam found in his surveys of the district of Murshidabad was astonishing. He explains that there were many more households with just one or two members in the city than in the surrounding countryside, for several combined demographic reasons. Besides day traders and laborers who migrated without families, he noted a large population of thousands of women living without family households of three classes: public women (prostitutes), aged women residing near the Bhagirathi River because of the river’s religious sanctity, and numerous widows. Adam writes that there were so many widows that people said there were far more widows in the city than in the countryside, because epidemics were killing many more men than women. The demographic implication is striking: many Hindu widows were maintaining their own small households in the city rather than living within large extended family units. Hindu Bengal’s urban social landscape therefore included many widows who were not only a visible part of society but also often living independently or semi-independently with some form of income. Many likely supported children, since they appear in Adam’s statistical category of households consisting of one or two individuals. This means widowhood was not rare or exceptional but a recognized and enduring condition of social life among Bengal's Hindus. If Sati had been the normal fate of widows, how did Adam encounter such a large concentration of them in the very heart of Bengal’s society?? Adam also records that many Hindu Zamindar families educated their daughters in writing and accounting so that, if widowed, they could manage their estates. Some who were uneducated before marriage were even taught by parents or brothers after widowhood to protect their own interests. If Hindu families expected widows to die routinely by sati, why would they invest in educating them for estate management? The evidence suggests the complete opposite: families anticipated widowhood as a long-term social reality and prepared women to navigate property, finance, and household authority after a husband’s death. In Adam’s survey of Natore District, he found that about half of the principal zamindars were widows. Two in particular - Rani Suryamani and Kamal Mani Das- were even known to be fully literate in Bengali writing and accounts, and several others were at least semi-literate. The very fact that Adam could record such large numbers of Hindu widows across Bengal's districts proves clearly that widowhood was not just common but also socially accommodated. If Sati had truly been the universal fate of Hindu widows as colonial rhetoric claimed, then how were there so many widows living across multiple districts? Adam’s own observations reveal how incredibly misleading that malicious trope was. The statistical evidence he recorded instead points to a far more complex social landscape in which the overwhelming majority of Hindu widows didn't just live on instead of committing Sati - they remained embedded in society, and in many cases exercised real economic responsibility. Many even lived independently in urban areas. Their everyday visibility stands as quiet but powerful evidence against the bigoted British colonial myth of Sati as prevalent in Hindu Bengal. It's high time we got rid of this utterly false colonial narrative of Sati which was created by the British to demonize Hindus and achieve missionary objectives - and demolish it permanently with the concrete evidence we have at hand.

My reach is completely dead. But for those of you who are interested in this topic, I will be dropping a short but explosive thread later today - based on some startling revelations from the Bengal survey reports by William Adam in the 1830s. My research unearthed data that directly contradicts and challenges the myth of universal widespread Satis among Hindus of Bengal during the 19th century. Stay tuned.

This ignorant claim that the East is “amoral” just exposes your warped mindset. Why are you monotheists so addicted to validation that you cannot discuss spirituality without turning it into a battlefield?Perhaps that is why you struggle to grasp the radical implication of infinite manifestations integrated in universal Oneness. For the Hindu, the Bhagavad Gita goes far beyond right and wrong not to deny morality, but to reveal that all morality begins within oneself. Śrī Krishna speaks on a battlefield. Arjuna trembles. The Lord commands action - to fight and uphold dharma - yet without attachment to hatred, ego, or the intoxication of moral superiority. That is transcendence, not moral confusion. When your so-called “fighting religion” baptized genocidal conquests, justified racist colonization, burned innocents as witches, and sanctioned bloody “Holy” Inquisitions under the banner of “righteous Crusades” - did it ever pause to confront the violence its own moral certainty unleashed? Or was morality just a mask for unleashed greed - the lust for empire dressed up as virtue? The moral superiority of self-righteousness is the most seductive form of evil - a narcotic that feeds the childish fantasy that branding others as idolaters and sinners somehow makes you pure. True victory is not domination. Those obsessed with the delusion of their own superiority will never have the courage to confront the boldest question Hinduism asks - how does the warrior conquer oneself? Without that victory, every crusade is nothing more than a monstrous ego rotting beneath a knight’s armor. True victory lies in destroying the ignorance within, until you realize that the light of divinity you sought to defend was a reflection of your own Self all along.

Why Eastern religions do not provide moral guidance: "Many Eastern religions are amoral. They teach that everything must be accepted as parts of the One, the Whole—both yin and yang, both good and evil. The goal is the balance or union of opposites. The rituals associated with these religions do not aim at achieving holiness but enlightenment: the recognition that everything is equally part of the Whole. When I was a college student during the countercultural 1970s, I was deeply impressed by Hermann Hesse’s novel Siddhartha, about a Brahmin’s son who undergoes a search for spiritual wisdom. In the end, he learns that “everything that exists is good—death as well as life, sin as well as holiness, wisdom as well as folly.” Pantheism teaches that it is a mistake to draw any moral distinctions. Everything merges into the One. The end result, however, is that you cannot distinguish good from evil—which means you have no basis for fighting against evil. One of the oldest of Zen poems says: “Be not concerned with right and wrong The conflict between right and wrong Is the sickness of the mind.” The same pantheism is promoted today in movies like Avatar. On the mythical planet Pandora, all the flora and fauna are connected by a vast neural network that functions as a kind of collective unconscious, personified by a Gaia-like goddess called Eywa. Significantly, Eywa is portrayed as beyond good and evil. One of the natives says, “Our great mother does not take sides. She protects only the balance of life.” As journalist Arthur Koestler observed, the Eastern view leads to the “denial of a universal moral law” and finally to “passive complicity” with evil. By contrast, C.S. Lewis writes that "Christianity is a fighting religion." It teaches "that a great many things have gone wrong with the world that God made and that God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again.” (From Finding Truth)

None of these claims are true. You said 1. “All were not getting the same education.” This is not true - Adam’s reports show that most of the native schools taught reading, writing, and arithmetic. The curriculum varied by region and occupation. Adam does not report any systematic rule saying that Brahmins barred certain castes from learning particular subjects within the native vernacular schools that he surveyed. Data does not show explicit caste-based curriculum prohibition in those districts. 2. “They were learning caste-wise.” There is NO evidence in Adam’s data that classrooms were segregated strictly by caste. In fact, he explicitly points out mixed enrollment. He also records parents of “good caste” sending their children to lower caste teachers. Large multi-caste lists appear within the same district schools - so this claim is not supported by the data. 3. “A blacksmith teacher was teaching only blacksmith caste.” Adam does not report any such rule. He records both teachers & students from various castes. He does not state anywhere that only the same caste students were taught by their own caste teachers. 4. “Education was hereditary.” In every society traditional occupations were often hereditary. But this doesn't prove any castes were restricted. Adam’s evidence shows much higher number of lower castes getting vernacular education. Non-Brahmin teachers were instructing mixed students in the classroom so educational participation was cutting across caste lines. If anything - Adam's data shows that there was permeability and flexibility in native Hindu schools- not any rigid caste-locking of literacy.

@MumukshuSavitri Flaws in the study 1- all were not getting same education. 2- they were learning caste wise. 3- blacksmith teacher was teaching to black smith caste because that was the norm. 4- the education scope was hereditary,
