@McBeaner69 don't be silly. they voted Congress, which you interpret as voting for partitioning. OTH, the Ms voted ML, which was explicitly callimg for partition
English
Hindus overwhelmingly voted in favour of partitioning Bengal and Punjab
🇮🇳@bramh0sWali
Partition didn't happen cause of Hindus

@Paranjyoti8 @vakibs @halleyji I understand out sampradys are much more specific, but common Hindu perspective is along those lines. Not incompatible with traditional Advaita => other paths csn bring about chitta shuddi before the final step

"...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 ..."
Interesting.
I don't often quote bible and I don't have any favourite verse.
I don't go to Church. And I don't pray to Jesus.
I don't see any need to exhibit pro grade tolerance like this towards other religions. No one cares for this kind of tolerance display as far as I can see. It hasn't helped us over the years. Past two centuries in particular offer enough evidence.
You do your thing let them do their thing. No need to go over and above to demonstrate all embracing empathy and tolerance.
Just my view.

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.

@indiainpixels as you point out, the realist streak is part of the tradition, so you could have made your point effectlively without being provocative. Also-excellence plus truthfulness and the freedom to express truth
English
Hinduism itself.
A billion people taught to find meaning in unity and bhakti. Imagine a billion people taught to find meaning in excellence instead.
Shed the defeatist myth that we are trapped in Kali Yuga. We aren't. It’s an excuse that rationalizes weakness as wisdom and passivity as destiny. Burn it.
Nobody is coming to liberate us, only we can do it.
The Vedic civilization wanted to conquer the world. Somewhere we forgot. We must trade the paralysis of endless abstraction and detachment for the pursuit of tangible perfection.
Stop debating the universe, start conquering it through obsessive excellence and raw beauty!
Fewer Upanishadic lectures.
More Rigvedic Samhitic fire.

@iamrakeshbansal For those who believe in Karma, a spiritual practitioner in TN who talks to departed souls has said in one of his videos that pulling the plug on a person who has no hope of survival begets the same Karma as snuffing out a life

In India, if an elderly patient is put on a ventilator and shows no signs of recovery, families face a very painful situation.
You cannot ask the hospital to remove the ventilator. Due to legal rules on passive euthanasia, hospitals usually refuse.
The only practical option is: Arrange your own ventilator at home, get the patient discharged, and take them home to spend their last days with family and dignity.
This system puts huge emotional and financial pressure on families in their most difficult time. Truly heartbreaking.

@IndoKatholic are you sure you want to keep playing this game of "your religion has had more horrible practices than my religion" . A quick google search, you know

So you claim whatever this was(Headhunting and demonic sacrifices of human beings) as part of Hinduism?
English
@clary_co Oh someone like me never had a problem liking individual Muslisms. But why do you want me to forget the lessons of the Partition and Kashmir 1989: that a fanatical, hegemonistic, separatist spark can be so easily lit in the Muslim collective??

"One year [later], we find that [Hindus] assigned a Muslim training partner reported significantly more contact with Muslims... & were also more likely to agree that Hindus & Muslims could trust each other or be friends, & that Muslims sometimes face bias or discrimination..."

Hindu applicants assigned Muslim training/workplace partners grew more tolerant, as did their family & friends. Just Accepted new paper by Robert Jensen zurl.co/bDzTG

One this is very clear. Both #Drav parties were a coalition/oligarchy of certain traditional landowning castes (incl Mudaliar, Pillai, Naidu, Reddy, Kongu Vellala Gounder, et al) and former chieftain castes (Maravar. Kallar, Agamudaiyar, etc.). Add Nadars as applicable.

@PranavaBhardwaj bizarre : no drive for money, above average artistic ability, genuine "didi of the masses" emotion...and OTH: a victim persona, cannot stand mockery, shrugs of her cadre gundagiri and extortion as cost of doing business, and eventually becomes a chudail preying on the peope

This still confuses me, what is Mamata Banerjee’s drive?
Looking at that house, it certainly doesn’t seem to be money.
She is perhaps one of the simplest politicians in India in those terms.
So what is she chasing, then? She even does not even have a model of governance like Kejriwal or maybe Stalin.
All India Trinamool Congress@AITCofficial
Warmly welcoming Shri @yadavakhilesh ji, at Kalighat. Today, our Hon'ble Chairperson Smt @MamataOfficial & our Hon'ble National GS Shri @abhishekaitc met with him and had an elaborate discussion. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for his support.

@naziafarheen15 @KaleemAhmadKha5 @RahulGandhi @priyankagandhi @ImranKhanPTI proves love of money is not a critical ingredient for being a narcisstic despot who can ruin a whole state. The chudail who sucks your blood takes your psychic energy, not your money directly.

who's gonna tell him about jana gana mana
Asaduddin Owaisi@asadowaisi
Vande Mataram is an ode to a goddess. It cannot be treated on par with the national anthem. Jana Gana Mana celebrates India and its people, not a particular religion. Religion ≠ nation. The man who wrote Vande Mataram was sympathetic to the British Raj and despised Muslims. Netaji Bose, Gandhi, Nehru, and Tagore all rejected it. The Preamble to the Constitution of India begins with “We, the People” — not “Bharat Maa”. It promises “liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship”. The very first provision of the Constitution, Article 1, describes “India, that is Bharat” as a Union of States. In the Constituent Assembly, some members wanted the Preamble to begin in the name of a goddess; they specifically invoked Vande Mataram. Others wanted it to begin “In the name of God” and to replace “its citizens” with “her citizens”. All these amendments were defeated. India, that is Bharat, is its people. The nation is not a goddess; it does not run in the name of a god or goddess, and it does not belong to one god or goddess. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/cabinet-…

@i_mandhata "fraud derivative of Gaudiya Vaishnavism"---> ISCKON? ??
English
It is because of this inflexibility that a fraud derivative of Gaudiya Vaishnavism has triumphed over all of them.
When the karma of nama japa is sufficient to ensure तारण of peoplein kaliyuga as per Bhagavatam, a lot of rituals become meaningless.
P.S. the sole point of this tweet is to point out that this attitude cannot be the norm, and not the praise of anay sampradaya.

Human garbages like you have provided the intellectual cover sitting in Delhi for years of industrial scale rape, murder, loot, goondagardi.
You yourself are a goonda no different from the TMC goons. Your weapon is the pen.
