Mata Saraswati on the route of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi

Blessed is my soul to have visited the shrine and attend the morning aarti at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi temple on the day of Vasant Panchami

And this is what our culture is. Imagine if we were just allowed to worship our gods and follow our culture and traditions in peace.

our ancestors were such simple people. gave up their land in exchange for the deity staying in their village for a day

I used to assume that the Hindu Kush region had Hindu connections only from ancient times, like the Mahabharata era. I didn’t realize that Hindu communities were still present there as recently as 500 years ago.

This region isn't even the Indian subcontinent it's Central Asian. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I looked it up on Google and I swear the pictures look so amazing. such beautiful mountains and water bodies. They stole that from us. And they still want more. Outrageous.

Yeah I’m not gonna shut up about this.

Newsflash, Hindus have a divine feminine, and no she's not just pretty pretty as Lakshmi, or pure and simple as Saraswati, she's also rage and destruction like Kali and Durga. If you don't believe in this, you're a misogynist, because why will you see only a masculine figure as God?

And what about transwomen? To feel more close to womanhood, they wear churi, payal, and bindi too. Are you telling me that's wrong?

Hindu traditions and festivals just enslave women and reinforce patriarchal practices, karwa chauth for example, a festival where a married woman has to fast and stay famished for whole 24 hours, NO water and food and some of them don’t even swallow their own saliva and why? for the long life and well being of her husband. Husbands are placed on a pedestal in hinduism, he is more revered than god sometimes while reducing women to obedient and self sacrificing caretakers . It reinforces the idea that a woman’s purpose revolves around a man’s needs, his health, his happiness, his survival while her own identity and agency is considered as irrelevant. In this religion women’s existence will always be tied to men and are expected to embrace such misogynistic ideals or else she’ll be labelled as a “too westernised housewife” or other names they love calling when you go against the system

Why are our people trolling the Foreign Secretary and his family? Istg civic sense is in minus in this country.

I understand the people wanted justice and vengeance. Hell, I wanted vengeance! However, India is a whole country which has to look out for external, internal and financial factors. The global standing of our country, the alliances, the internal factors, the treaties and agreements, all are considered in every case. War is a huge step. Yes, I despise Pakistan will all of my heart. And no, the emotions of the people are not enough to fuel a war!

Bhai samjho. India has allies, Pak has sugar daddies. War hogi toh Pak and it's invisible sugar daddies will continue the chain of "supply weapons-pretend you didn't know-fake outrage-wait pak is a victim-oh fine let's forgive it- also let's give them money for stability- money is used to buy weapons." Vohi hota raha hai and vohi hoga. India is at a pedestal that it cannot risk falling from. Pakistan is practically on rock bottom, they've got nothing to lose and they're doing other's dirty work too.

Diplomacy is an intricate and delicate art. You cannot fucking troll officers for doing their jobs — which is, prioritising the NATION.

framing hindus as colonizers vs muslims/arabs has to be even dumber than saying jews are not indigenous to the levant.

…do you know how old hinduism is?

“colonizers framing themselves as the oppressed so they don’t have to atone for their crimes told me the actual oppressed are oppressors so i’m just going to believe it without question.”

get a grip 😂 the earth is flat too, right?

people who know history: so arab colonization—

morons on the internet:

We have a family from UP doing "Shiv charcha" today and I can't get enough of it🥰😇

They've called all families in our society who are from UP and everyone's singing bhajans and kirtans in bhojpuri and awadhi. By everyone, I mean, it's all the women. My mother's also there. And hearing it all feels so good. It is because it's quite rare that this kind of event happens. And yeah connecting to the language is an added benefit here.

Does anyone know what a "Shiv charcha" is though?

In 2006, the United States signed arms transfer agreements with Pakistan in excess of $3.5 billion, ranking Pakistan first among all arms clients of the United States during that calendar year. The key elements in Pakistan's arms purchases from the United States were 36 F-16C/D Block 50/52 fighter aircraft for $1.4 billion; a variety of missiles and bombs to be utilized on the F-16 C/D fighter aircraft for over $640 million; the purchase of Mid-Life Update Modification Kits to upgrade Pakistan's F-16A/B aircraft for $890 million; and 115 M109A5 155mm Self-propelled howitzers for $52 million. The rise of Pakistan to its new status as a major arms purchaser from the United States is particularly noteworthy given the difficulties the United States has had with Pakistan since the 1970s over its successful effort to produce nuclear weapons. The total value of Pakistan's 2006 arms purchases from the United States nearly matches the total value of all Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program purchases by Pakistan from the United States for the entire period from FY1950-FY2001 (more than $3.6 billion in current dollars). For the period from calendar year 2005 through calendar year 2008, Pakistan has placed orders with the United States for defense articles and services through the FMS program valued at $4.5 billion.1

It's outrageous and absolutely infuriating that the U.S. handed over more than $3.5 billion worth of deadly weapons to Pakistan—a country with a well-documented history of breeding terrorism, destabilizing the region, and violating every notion of peace. How can a nation that claims to fight terrorism fund and arm the very state that has time and again used such weapons against its own neighbors? This isn’t just hypocrisy—it’s a slap in the face to every nation that’s been a victim of Pakistan-sponsored violence. Strategic interests don’t justify empowering a reckless, dangerous state with F-16s and missiles. It’s not diplomacy; it’s feeding the fire. And then the world expects us to stay calm, to show restraint? Enough. Peace cannot survive in a region where one side is constantly armed to the teeth while the other is told to turn the other cheek.
