The Last Line 👏🏼

Pakistani terrorist admitting that they are training terrorism in terror camps. Water is wet.

You shouldn't expect a reward for something that is expected of you.

Just like when you're a parent, you are expected to support your kid, give them a good upbringing. You shouldn't expect rewards in return. The same goes for feminism. If you think your feminist views deserve a clap or a pat on the back, choose a better reason.

men lose their masculinity (the social reward for correctly performed manhood) through advocating for, sympathizing with, or doing labor that is allocated to women.

(and I'm not talking about some innate, spiritual, or psychological masculinity. I mean social masculinity--being regarded by higher ranking men as masculine.)

you genuinely do lose your current standing if you meaningfully and consistently object to the economic, legal, and interpersonal status of women, especially in ways that implicate men around you.

many men believe that if they are willing to do this, occasionally, then they are owed a recuperation of their masculinity through some other means.

if they are sacrificing masculinity through advocating for women politically, then they expect to bolster their masculinity through receiving expressions of gratitude and adoration by women ("feminist men are so hot" "consent is sexy" "pro-choice men get laid more" etc.) or they expect to bolster their masculinity through emasculating other men by asserting the standards of masculinity they adhere to are the "real" masculinity ("real men support women" "sexists are immature boys, I'm a man" "I'm secure in my masculinity and they're insecure" etc.)

to dismantle patriarchy, you need to be able to advocate for women even when it means losing gendered status. other men mostly will not respect you, and many misogynist women will not respect you either. it might not get you laid or praised or validated. in fact, it will probably subject you to increased scrutiny and criticism (because feminized subjects are always subject to such, and if you lose social masculinity, you too will experience this to some degree).

will you still advocate for women even if there is no social benefit and only social cost? do you have principles, or do you just want the fantasy of being a benevolent ruler?

श्री राम नवमी

I wanted to share some lokgeet.

Well I already did a blogpost on Chaiti geet. Didn't get a chance to do one for Sohar. A sohar geet is sung to celebrate the birth of a child. And how can we not have a sohar for our beloved Shri Ram's janm, whose birth made Awadh pure and divine.

Here are 2 sohar geet -

A chaiti geet -

Please enjoy!!

From an astrology perspective, there are many planetary combinations and aspects that can lead to disability.

The one that I can remember right now says that, if you have Saturn(or an aspect from Saturn) in the 5th house, which represents your children, means you'd have a child with disability. So, it doesn't have to be your past life karma, it could be your parents'.

I have a question for hindublr!!! :>

How common actually is the belief that disabled people are disabled for sins in past lives?

I read it in an "intro to hinduism" type book I picked up, but as a disabled person it really doesn't sit right with me and I kind of doubt it's that common of an belief?

Ty for your perspectives :3

शीतला सप्तमी

My family celebrates Sheetla Saptami every year twice. Once in the month of Chaitra (चैत in Awadhi) and then in the month of Shravan (सावन in Awadhi)

My mother has to observe a fast on Saptami and do a pooja before dawn the next day

Hibiscus flowers, doob grass and paan leaves are offered to Mata

There are offerings made, which is completely satvic. There is a puri, a batasa(बतासा), a jaggery filled gujiya (गुजिया), few uncooked soaked chana, a small amount of dahi, a dallop of lapsi(लपसी prepared from flour and jaggery), and a clove(लौंग)

A diya is to be lit and kept on a rice filled earthen bowl called कोसा in Awadhi. Which is kept on a kalash filled with water and adorned with mango leaves

Oh I wish I had the skills to create such art. This is majestic!!🪷

Shubh Chaitra Navratri and a very auspicious Hindu New Year🌸🌸

The way these degenerates put out false information so articulately. Unbelievable 🤬

Should anyone tell OP that India’s so called “occupation of Kashmir” did not start with Modi. Even congress held on to Kashmir and so did any party that came in power (as they fucking should). Plus, OP telling that Modi sent 10,000 soldiers in Kashmir is interesting because he manages to fucking forgets to mention that there had been a terror attack in February that killed 40 army personnel (Pulwama). Also it makes sense for Kashmir to be militarized because they are on a border with a country that would love to annex Kashmir (already did annex a part of it), and plus it is a region where terrorists have done things again and again. Also for revoking article 370, well any sensible PM would revoke it because it caused a fucking GENOCIDE in the past when it was misused. Plus, it makes sense that a region that is continuously attacked, has terror attacks etc. should be in more gov’t control? Because are we really going to burden the state government with that responsibility. Keeping in mind that Kashmir’s main revenue source is tourism, why wouldn’t the people want tourism. The locals seem happy the economy is doing well? Also, if Indian army was abusing people of Kashmir, how the fuck would tourism be on the incline? Because for people who have not lived in India, Indians would fucking die than have any interaction with the police or army. So if there was any abuse sure as fuck no one would have gone there.

🤡

even if i consider this man's "analysis" true how the fuck should one accept that it was completely okay that tourists were attacked. Also, why is OP not mentioning that TERRORISTS (and the locals who supported them) were responsible for this attack majorly. One of the reasons everyone is freaking out about Pahalgam that it has been a while since civilians were killed in a terrorist attack in such a high number.

And i am no political analyst but can see through it pretty clearly. Please correct me if i am wrong

Naah I can’t with these mfs anymore. They are embarrassing and so out of touch. Echo chamber gang is expert at twisting facts and omitting important details in order to nab support from other ignorant lefties on tumblr that are ready to fume and set fire to themselves at the very mention of Israel and Netanyahu.

Anyone who’s interested in learning more about how Islamists invaded the region of Kashmir and ravaged it for centuries, converting, raping and forcing it’s native hindu, buddhist and sikh people to leave is welcome to read my pinned post on Islamic jihad and Kashmiri hindu genocide on my blog.

Lastly, Kashmir was never an “open air prison” Kashmiris like any other Indian citizen are allowed to visit, stay and live in other parts of the country. What was making Kashmir an open air prison was article 370 which was abrogated by the Modi government and now the average Kashmiri citizen has the same rights as other Indian citizens which were previously denied to them including women, lgbtq and other marginalised groups 👇

What's more interesting is that the Tridev took rebirth as sons of Anusuya and Atri. And it was Brahma who was born as Chandra.

And according to some texts, Brahma and Lakshmi are siblings (just like Shiv and Saraswati, and Vishnu and Gauri are siblings). So, yeah he again became Lakshmi's brother when they emerged from the sagar manthan.

So no one ever told me about Ram ji roasting the moon and listing it faults because it's just not as beautiful as Maa Sita after looking at her once in the gardens? No one?

And then he just returned to his Guru like nothing happened? As if he didn't just talk to the moon and insult it?

I generally prefer Valmiki Ramayan but the Balkand in Ramcharitmanas is pure gold.
