Hindutva does not belong to Modi nor his party, it belongs to the people as a unifying, decolonial ideology similar to pan-Africanism or Yugoslavism.

His own brand of "positive secularism" is even milder - deepening special rights and welfare schemes for religious minorities.

 After the disbanding of the Hindu Mahasabha and Jana Sangh, Hindutva as a political ideology does not even exist, except as a bogeyman in the minds of the Anglophone elite.

Even the BJP gave up Hindutva for civic nationalism, Gandhian socialism, and positive secularism in 1980s.
Under Modi, there has been compete policy continuity on minority rights and welfare from the Congress era, with little to no "Hindutva agenda" coming to see the light of day.

The most radical policy they can dream of is religion-neutral laws and equal rights for equal citizens.
Hindutva was essential in forming a national consciousness, but was abandoned with time. The modern BJP refuses to self-identify as a Hindutva movement, adopting moderates like Sardar Patel, Deendayal Upadhyay, and JP Narayan as their icons, rather than Savarkar or the Mahasabha.
When they say Hindu Rashtra, all they mean is an "Indic polity".

When British India was partitioned into a Muslim homeland and a Dharmic homeland, one state became a 'Ghazi' garrison state, and one the successor state to the Indic civilisation.

"The RSS has never said it wants to create a Hindu State. Rashtra is based on a rich heritage of memories and a keen desire to live together. Ernest Renan had once pointed out that people are a nation because they want to be a nation, which is “a soul, a spiritual principle”.
"Speaking the same language or belonging to the same ethnic group does not constitute a nation, but having accomplished great things in the past and wishing to accomplish them again in future ... Those who are co-travellers in this journey are considered as Hindu by the RSS."
"State, on the other hand, is an entirely political construct with elements of land, people, government and sovereignty, and abides by a Constitution. Even when there was no unified Indian State as it exists today, there existed a ‘Hindu Rashtra’ that kept its people together."
"Speaking at the same programme in New Delhi, Sarsanghchalak Bhagwat said that the RSS considers as its own even those who do not call themselves Hindus but consider themselves Indians."
Long after its natural death, Hindutva was revived as a bogeyman by the Congress-CPI ecosystem to discredit indigenous political philosophies.

That backfired when voters believed this and voted for Modi, thinking he was going to be the "Hindu nationalist" he was portrayed as.
What did he do with this mandate? 40% of his welfare schemes go to minorities, he actively works with religious NGOs like the Zakat Foundation to increase Muslim representation in the police and bureaucracy to "build a sense of trust in state institutions among the community".
Unlike Western liberal icons like Macron, he never uses the terms 'Islamist terrorism' or 'jihadism', and rather hosted the World Sufi Conference and waxed lyrical about "the message of the Quran" and how "terrorism cannot be tied to a religion".

https://t.co/yLPQf0AXSR
If a Western leader tried to increase the proportion of Muslims in the police and bureaucracy on these lines, or gave conciliatory speeches like this, they would be hounded out of politics by the media as a "loony left extremist" or "terrorist sympathiser" like Jeremy Corbyn was.
If they really wanted to, a Hindutva party would try to adapt and adopt Article 9 of Sri Lanka's Constitution, scrap the Places of Worship Act, Minority Ministry, religious subsidies.

The centre-left party in power prefers to draft religion-neutral laws and hope for the best.
Parties aside, classical Hindutva is a decolonial foundation to build legitimacy to India's right to exist as a sovereign nation.

Inspired by Italian unification, similar to pan-Africanism, and compatible with a range of political ideologies once such sovereignty is established.
Modern Hindutva does not exist in parliament, only in elections.

Some use it as a bogeyman to discredit indigenous knowledge systems.

Others use it for their election-winning machine, where right-wing voters go in, and left-wing policy comes out, and a bit of steam is released.
For a bit of historical context, let's see the negotiations around Partition in 1946.

The Hindu Mahasabha did not fight for establishing Hindu Rashtra but to defend an undivided India, with one-citizen-one-vote instead of separate electorates, and with "maximum" minority rights.
Whereas the only supremacist, exclusionist voice which consistently refused to acknowledge Indian nationhood or sovereignty as legitimate, was that of Jinnah's Muslim League.

Who insisted on a division between Pakistan ("land of the pure") and Hindustan ("land of the Hindus").

It's done: The IT Rules, 2021, are officially in play. We cannot stress this enough - this fundamentally changes the Indian internet. Please RT this thread on the Rules and how they bring government control over digital media like never before.
https://t.co/S7K9wnIkvI
1/n

IT Rules affect social media, OTT, and news platforms. The latter 2 have been brought under the Rules for the first time. The Rules make platforms legally liable for not complying with government regulation, hence making user experience fall in line with the same.
2/n

Social media platforms with 50 lakh+ users will now be regulated as Significant Social Media Intermediaries (SSMIs) with different obligations than Social Media Intermediaries (SMIs). Government discretion in compliance can lead to discrimination which disempowers small SMIs.
3/n


SMIs are now more answerable to law enforcement, with lesser breathing space around compliance deadlines.

Content takedown after receiving orders: 36hrs
Providing info to law enforcement: 72hrs
Requests to remove sexual content: 24hrs
Redressal by grievance officers: 15 days
4/n

The data retention period for SMIs has been doubled to 6 months for investigative purposes. Data will be preserved even if accounts are deleted. We are challenging this in the Supreme Court because such data retention in the absence of a data protection law is dangerous.

Now this is provoking me to write!

The schism of BJP- RSS ideology.

Full blown Schizophrenia if one wants to psychoanalyze BJP.
#doublebind where a parent keeps giving double messages to their confused children. They adore the parent for one thing and hate them for another.


How can BJP sustain itself with this kind of internal schism? In other words no samanjas or clarity of what they stand for?

Its exploding now. The madness.
People airing out Gandhi's sexuality out of context and irrelevant to him being killed by Godse.Supporting Godse's action

But not understanding that the same reasons why Godse was killed are the reasons why BJP leaders today hail Gandhi as Bapu or Mahatma. On #MartyrsDay
Very dangerous mind or #headgames being played out here. Our country is a large scale mental asylum with broken psyche.

Sanatana Dharma does not need more Nathuram Godses. We need more Shri Vidyaranyas and Adi Shankaras who would build Hindu Rajya through Raja and kshatriya Dharma.
Nathuram Godse as a Brahmana weakened his brahmanatwam by adopting a Nationalist ideology.

Instead he could have used his pourusham to garber a Sanatani movement to fight against INC and Gandhian ideology.

He dissented from RSS and started his own Hindu Rashtra Dal and also was a member of Hindu Mahasabha. However he did not fall back on our darshana s to understand

Republic Day: The Lawyers who helped draft the Constitution of India


Our Constitution was handwritten by Shri. Prem Behari Raizada who took 6 months and used 254 various nibs to write the Constitution. (Image Source - Prem Foundation)


Our original constitution copy was then sent to Survey of India office where these handwritten copies were copied and distributed to its members. Even now, very few copies are freely available in the market.

Constitution of India is not only a beautiful document but a beautifully presented document too. Illustrations include Mohenjodaro period to Vedic and Epic periods to that of Maurya and Gupta Empire.

Dumb£dk@r wasn't like Pe£riyar?

He was an Anti-Hindu m0r0n just like Periy@r.


Yes it's true that he criticised K2@s but that doesn't make him any useful for Hindus.

His writings will remind you a lot of JNU Urban Naxals like Kanhaiya.

"Ancient Hindus had no sexual morals, brother cohabited with sister, son with mother, father with daughter... Men freely shared women & none had exclusive right over her... Prostitution flourished in the worst form...bestiality prevailed, done even by Rishis."
Riddles in Hinduism


This is what Shri Ram said in Kishkindha-Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana regarding such immoral relationships.

But how could Neela Katt@ppa not realize this?

Because he severely lacking analytical capabilities of Hindu texts.


"Hindu Gods were miserable cowards who had to hide behind their wives to save themselves from Asuras. How could these cowards give power to Shakti? Did the Brahmins invent the practice of worshipping of Goddesses to put a new commodity in the market?"

Riddles in Hinduism.

कुंडली में 12 भाव होते हैं। कैसे ज्योतिष द्वारा रोग के आंकलन करते समय कुंडली के विभिन्न भावों से गणना करते हैं आज इस पर चर्चा करेंगे।
कुण्डली को कालपुरुष की संज्ञा देकर इसमें शरीर के अंगों को स्थापित कर उनसे रोग, रोगेश, रोग को बढ़ाने घटाने वाले ग्रह


रोग की स्थिति में उत्प्रेरक का कार्य करने वाले ग्रह, आयुर्वेदिक/ऐलोपैथी/होमियोपैथी में से कौन कारगर होगा इसका आँकलन, रक्त विकार, रक्त और आपरेशन की स्थिति, कौन सा आंतरिक या बाहरी अंग प्रभावित होगा इत्यादि गणना करने में कुंडली का प्रयोग किया जाता है।


मेडिकल ज्योतिष में आज के समय में Dr. K. S. Charak का नाम निर्विवाद रूप से प्रथम स्थान रखता है। उनकी लिखी कई पुस्तकें आज इस क्षेत्र में नए ज्योतिषों का मार्गदर्शन कर रही हैं।
प्रथम भाव -
इस भाव से हम व्यक्ति की रोगप्रतिरोधक क्षमता, सिर, मष्तिस्क का विचार करते हैं।


द्वितीय भाव-
दाहिना नेत्र, मुख, वाणी, नाक, गर्दन व गले के ऊपरी भाग का विचार होता है।
तृतीय भाव-
अस्थि, गला,कान, हाथ, कंधे व छाती के आंतरिक अंगों का शुरुआती भाग इत्यादि।

चतुर्थ भाव- छाती व इसके आंतरिक अंग, जातक की मानसिक स्थिति/प्रकृति, स्तन आदि की गणना की जाती है


पंचम भाव-
जातक की बुद्धि व उसकी तीव्रता,पीठ, पसलियां,पेट, हृदय की स्थिति आंकलन में प्रयोग होता है।

षष्ठ भाव-
रोग भाव कहा जाता है। कुंडली मे इसके तत्कालिक भाव स्वामी, कालपुरुष कुंडली के स्वामी, दृष्टि संबंध, रोगेश की स्थिति, रोगेश के नक्षत्र औऱ रोगेश व भाव की डिग्री इत्यादि।

An interesting set of games that I've been vaguely interested in since I was a kid, after seeing one at a friend's house and never being able to find it again, was the BATTLES IN A DISTANT DESERT/BATTLES ON DISTANT PLANETS series.


These are turn-based wargames for windows 3.x, sharing the same engine.
Battles in a Distant Desert is from 1992, and is based on the first Iraq war (Desert Storm)


and Battles on Distant Planets is from 1991, and takes place in SPACE!
I'm pretty sure this is the one I played as a kid.


They've got 3 options to play with:
* Player vs. Player
* Player vs. Computer
* Computer vs. Computer

So it's a 0-2 player game!


They also did a DOS strategy game called "STARDATE 2140.2: GALACTIC CONQUEST" in 1990, but it seems to be lost.
All the games share an experimental AI system based on neural networks.

IT WAS RISHI KANADA WHO GAVE THE ATOMIC THEORY & TALKED ABOUT THE GRAVITY OF EARTH, 2600 YEARS BEFORE AN APPLE FELL IN FRONT OF NEWTON'S EYES:

Scientists of the modern world credit an English scientist John Dalton (1766 CE -1844 CE) for the Atomic Theory.


And this is because, most of us are not even aware of an ancient Indian Sage named Kanada, who was the first to formulate the theory of atoms, almost 2600 yrs before Dalton and talk about earth's gravity.


Rishi Kanada was born around 600 BCE in Dwarka, Gujarat and he was the son of a philosopher named Ulka. He was fascinated with the minute detailing of the things right from his childhood. Once, when he was very young, he accompanied his father on a journey to Prayaga.


He saw plentiful grains scattered along the path leading to the shore of river Ganga. It's a tradition in Hindu families to scatter the grains for the ants and birds to feed on them. Suddenly, an ant caught his attention, who was feeding on a rice grain.


He was mesmerised by this very fact that how a small grain of rice becomes food for the ant but to satisfy the hunger of a person so many grains are needed together. This incidence made him realize the importance of a single grain of rice.

Donna Strickland, one of this year's Nobel Laureates, was not considered "notable enough" for Wikipedia as late as this May—reported by a number of sites, including the Independent. I dug into this a little. Here's the data—


This is the first deletion, back in 2014. A bit hard to read between the lines, but the basic story that an admin had Stickland's page "speedy deleted"—i.e., deleted without debate. The method was something called Copyright Jujitsu.

In particular, the admin had the page deleted not because of notability, but because it included a photograph of Strickland that had ambiguous copyright status. This is a method that people developed to get rid of content they didn't want, but also didn't want to debate.

"Copyright Jujitsu" because it is usually used against spam from companies; a PR officer uploads promotional material to Wikipedia. Instead of debating whether it's neutral, the admin can say "we'd love to have it, but the material appears to violate your company's copyright".

Usually the PR office and the IP office are separate in a company, and the idea of releasing promotional material under public domain is such a legal nightmare that the PR person goes away.

BRAHMA VAIVARTA PURAN: IMPORTANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS.

This Puran introduces us to way of Vedas. On the request of Narad Muni Bhagwan Saavarni had preached this Puran. It is a summary of Dharma, Arth, Moksha etc.


Listening to this Puran one gets automatically attached to Vishnu and Shiva and realize that there is no difference between them. Vyasji divided this book into four parts. It has eighteen thousand shlokas. This whole book is in the form of dialogue between Suutji and Maharishi's.

The first part Brahmkhand, consists of Shrishti description. Here Shri is known as Para Brahma and description of Gokul is also mentioned, It also narrates the argument between Brahma and Narad in which both were defeated, and then Narad went to Shiva to attain more gyan.

Shivji advised him to go to Bhagwan Saavarni for this. Narad goes to Saavarni ashram to seek Knowledge and is totally amazed by the sorroundings.

Next is Prakriti khand which consists of dialogue between Narad and Saavarni where they discuss the

Importance of Shri Krishna through various stories. Then there is the discussion of Prakriti and its various hues. Listening to this gets you wealth.
Next is Ganesh Khand which describes the Punyak vrat done by Parvati ji. After this it narrates the birth of Kartikeya and Ganesh.
