Kangana's malady: An acute case of a right wing afflicted
===============================
I really feel sad for this lady. But it exposes a critical problem of a right wing mind. Of a life lived comparing.
Since she is in arts field. Let's take music which has distinct classes of

 music e.g. Western classic or Hindustani/Carnatic Classical. A virtuoso in any one of these music forms will not seek to denigrate or compare one art against another. Actually, a good classical artiste won't even denigrate folk music. It is equally as hard to compose a great
bhakti poetry as it is to compose a spiritual shloka. One can find something mystical in both.
Art is really about losing oneself - An exploration melting into knowledge and finally into empathy and union. As you grow in an art form, you lose your identity even as humility grows.
You start seeing beauty all around. A great saint in one religion sees greatness in another religion too. Such a person is indeed a virtuoso.
The problem with a right wing mind is that it needs control and a sense of power. They resemble the angry executives who populate our
corporate office hiding their incompetence behind arrogance and anger. That's the cowardice that Mohua Moitra talks about. They compare, compete, denigrate others (Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise) and then create their own competition field (Padma Award) and in the worst case may be
compete against self (Thalaivi or Dhakkad). It is almost as though they never grew out of their nursery class: If I ran a race, I need to get a first prize! If you don't get the reward, you start seeing conspiracy around you "SSR was murdered," "Karan Johar is a villian," Hindus
are being targeted."
The pathetic part is that such mind also plays a paradoxical trick on itself. It somehow switches from anger/frustration to an improbable godly sermon too to build a community around their sermons "I am Atmanirbhar and not dependent on charity.
I pay my taxes. I love my country, my religion, myself and am an optimist. I feel sad for critical people like you who are always trying to pull us down." You pull yourself down to award onself and then you abuse those critiquing as negative people to enlist a group of supporter
I don't know when this mental illness will end. In my view, these mad pepple will come to their senses after all of us are razed to the ground. Insanity of this kind has no cure. Imagine the craziness of these people going to Koo and spending all their time abusing the guys on
Twitter for not recognising their greatness and then speak about how optimistic they are in greating a great nation.
//Tweeting about it, she wrote: "Anyone who is asking how many oscars I have can also ask how many national or Padma awards Meryl Streep has, answer is none,
come out of your slave mentality. High time you all find some self respect and self worth."//

Reporters, pundits, activists. Before you echo the notion that Palestinians are being "corralled into small, crowded enclaves", which is in vogue in some circles, here are some facts that you won't find in @btselem's new position paper. Read and decide for yourself.

Thread:


Starting with the West Bank, specifically Area C from which allegedly Palestinians are being systematically pushed into the enclaves of Areas A and B, and replaced by Jewish settlers. If so, we should've seen the demographic balance in Area C shift in the Jews' favor. Has it? /2

Well, there's no evidence for that, certainly none in the paper. Latest UN estimate is ~ 300k Palestinians in Area C in 2013, probably >3 times their number in 1995 when the area was delineated. Jewish population growth in the same area & period was slower or similar at 2.6%./3

While good population stats for Area C are unavailable, there are construction surveys based on aerial photos. Do they support Btselem's claim? Quite the contrary. At least one shows that in recent yrs the total Palestinian residential area expanded more than the Jewish one./4


The same analysis by @RegavimIsrael found that the number of Palestinian structures in Area C increased by 28,600 during 2009-2019, nearly doubling in one decade, far more than the 18,600 built in Jewish settlements in that period, according to official statistics. /5

#Thread on "Kashi (Varanasi), From Birth to Death and Death to Moksha."

Located on the left bank of the Ganga, Varanasi is one of the 7 holy cities of the Hindus. According to the Vamana Purana, two rivers named Varuna and Assi originated since the beginning of the timei

The name Varanasi originates from the two tributaries of the Ganges, the Varuna &the Assi, which flows at its northern & southern boundaries. The land lying between them was named 'Varanasi'. Its original name was derived from the word 'Kashi', 'Kaasha', which means brightness.

By the way, kashi is mentioned in many Vedic literatures. Kaushitaki Upanishad mentioned about the places like Kashyas and Videhas. Ajatashatru has been declared as the ruler of Kashi or Videha in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. Apart from this, Kashi &Videha are also mentioned in

Shankhayan & Boudhayan Srotasutra.

It also mentions about Kashi joining the Kosala after the independent state got destroyed. It is often referred as adjectives such as 'city of temples', 'religious capital of India', 'city of Shiva', 'city of lamps', 'city of knowledge' etc.

Famous American writer Mark Twain writes: " banaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together.”

In the Middle Ages it was a part of the Kannauj kingdom and later it was ruled by Pala kings of Bengal.

@LostTemple7 Chola dynasty has been the longest ruling dynasty of the world. They ruled from 3rd century BCE to nearly 13th century CE. They ruled south east Asia including Indonesia and even Philippines and Maldives.

Rajendra Chola I (1012-1044)
a great ruler of our history who was involved in the conspiracies of leftist historians..

Rajendra Chola was the greatest ruler of the Chola dynasty, he expanded the Chola empire by his victories and made it the most powerful empire of South India.

Rajendra Chola was the only king who not only waved his conquests to other places but spread a wonderful system of architecture and administration to the places where he ruled!

In 1017 AD, this powerful hero of ours had defeated the mighty King Mahendra V of Sinhala (Sri Lanka)

and captured the entire Sinhala (Sri Lanka).!

While many great kings could not dare to advance with their army by reaching the mouth of the rivers, Rajendra Chola formed a powerful navy with the help of easily crossing every huge river that came in his way..

Due to this navy, Rajendra Chola also established his authority on the island named Sadimantiq in the Arabian Sea. Even with the help of his deadly warships, Rajendra I had captured Java, Sumatra and Maldives by destroying the army of many kings..!

If there is one thing I have learned it is that people love bullshit. They buy bullshit stories from professional bullshit artists, accept bullshit philosophies, purchase bullshit how-to-books, vote for bullshitting politicians.

At first, I resisted believing this because it is illogical and dumb and frankly, doesn't reflect well on the human race of which I am a member (and thus have long been hopeful that it is more of a distinction than it actually turns out to be.)

But if you actually are interested in facts you begin to notice how little most people care for them. Sometimes it is because they are heard to learn and bullshit is so much more widely and easily available. Sometimes it is because facts make them uncomfortable about themselves.

Sometimes it is because just one tiny fact will upset a whole worldview that has grown as comfortable as an overstuffed chair. (Settling into such worldviews is a lot like settling into chairs like that because the longer you're there and the deeper you sink...

...the harder it is to hoist yourself up and out of your fat-assed intellectual laziness.) But I actually think the reason people have such an appetite for bullshit goes deeper, goes to an aspect of ourselves we just can't accept.

राम-रावण युद्ध समाप्त हो चुका था। जगत को त्रास देने वाला रावण अपने कुटुम्ब सहित नष्ट हो चुका था।श्रीराम का राज्याभिषेक हुआ और अयोध्या नरेश श्री राम के नेतृत्व में चारों दिशाओं में शन्ति थी।
अंगद को विदा करते समय राम रो पड़े थे ।हनुमान को विदा करने की शक्ति तो राम में थी ही नहीं ।


माता सीता भी हनुमान को पुत्रवत मानती थी। अत: हनुमान अयोध्या में ही रह गए ।राम दिनभर दरबार में, शासन व्यवस्था में व्यस्त रहते थे। संध्या को जब शासकीय कार्यों में छूट मिलती तो गुरु और माताओं का कुशल-मंगल पूछ अपने कक्ष में जाते थे। परंतु हनुमान जी हमेशा उनके पीछे-पीछे ही रहते थे ।


उनकी उपस्थिति में ही सारा परिवार बहुत देर तक जी भर बातें करता ।फिर भरत को ध्यान आया कि भैया-भाभी को भी एकांत मिलना चाहिए ।उर्मिला को देख भी उनके मन में हूक उठती थी कि इस पतिव्रता को भी अपने पति का सानिध्य चाहिए ।

एक दिन भरत ने हनुमान जी से कहा,"हे पवनपुत्र! सीता भाभी को राम भैया के साथ एकांत में रहने का भी अधिकार प्राप्त है ।क्या आपको उनके माथे पर सिन्दूर नहीं दिखता?इसलिए संध्या पश्चात आप राम भैया को कृप्या अकेला छोड़ दिया करें "।
ये सुनकर हनुमान आश्चर्यचकित रह गए और सीता माता के पास गए ।


माता से हनुमान ने पूछा,"माता आप अपने माथे पर सिन्दूर क्यों लगाती हैं।" यह सुनकर सीता माता बोलीं,"स्त्री अपने माथे पर सिन्दूर लगाती है तो उसके पति की आयु में वृद्धि होती है और वह स्वस्थ रहते हैं "। फिर हनुमान जी प्रभु राम के पास गए ।

Joshua Hawley, Missouri's Junior Senator, is an autocrat in waiting.

His arrogance and ambition prohibit any allegiance to morality or character.

Thus far, his plan to seize the presidency has fallen into place.

An explanation in photographs.

🧵

Joshua grew up in the next town over from mine, in Lexington, Missouri. A a teenager he wrote a column for the local paper, where he perfected his political condescension.

2/


By the time he reached high-school, however, he attended an elite private high-school 60 miles away in Kansas City.

This is a piece of his history he works to erase as he builds up his counterfeit image as a rural farm boy from a small town who grew up farming.

3/


After graduating from Rockhurst High School, he attended Stanford University where he wrote for the Stanford Review--a libertarian publication founded by Peter Thiel..

4/

(Full Link: https://t.co/zixs1HazLk)


Hawley's writing during his early 20s reveals that he wished for the curriculum at Stanford and other "liberal institutions" to change and to incorporate more conservative moral values.

This led him to create the "Freedom Forum."
