Wow How Well Manufactured This Is Smh

Wow how well manufactured this is smh

Nearly ten days after the Pahalgam attack, watching the various responses to said attack...part of me is shocked, and another confused. Yet another thinks that something like this is inevitable.

Too many people reacted to what is undoubtedly a terrorist attack by channelling their rage and grief into persecuting innocent people because the terrorists asked those they killed to recite the kalma, undoubtedly being Islamic in their origin.

Yes, they were Muslim. Does that mean there should be violence against innocent Kashmiri students because 'Hindu khatre mein hain"? No. Do you know why? Because a large part of why such Islamic organisations sway local sympathies towards them is by the catchphrase "Islamiyat khatre mein hain." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Why wouldn't it? We've heard an alternate religion version of it over TV channels and so-called "news" and "leaders of the free world" screaming Hindu khatre mein hain, khatre mein hain, after all.

So many of us believe it, too.

Why, some of us may ask, shouldn't we believe so? We are Hindus, and we aren't safe even in our own land, our own country. Perhaps we should look deeper into the 'why' of it. So much of violence against us is by ourselves, for daring to be different. Lynching, beating, far more for far too less. So what if someone eats meat? They aren't stopping you from living your life. Why should you put an end to theirs?

But, then, as people who hold power today ask, what about the invaders who invaded India 1000 years ago, 1200 years ago? People whose descendants divide the country today, covet its assets for themselves? Including Kashmir, the jewel of India?

To that is my answer: If that is what you believe, then we should all leave this land. Most of us, at least. None of us are indigenous to the land we live in, except perhaps the tribes in Sentinel island. Other than that, all of us, except for the populations that are tribal/adivasis, probably migrated from somewhere else, simply some time longer ago than 1200 years.

But then, argue some, what about religious texts that speak to tens and thousands of years of ancestry? The Mahabharata, the Itihasas, the Puranas?

In that case, well, might I remind you that Sanskrit is not the single sole classical language that speaks of thousands of years of history? There is the matter of at least one other culture and language that exists alongside. The Sangam literature too speaks of thousands of years. Three whole Sangams, might I mention.

Almost every single ancient culture claims grandiose descent. We do not know how much credence should be given to any of these claims, but, if we are giving credence to one claim, why leave the others behind? Give equal credence, why don't you?

Coming back to 1200 years of "slave mentality" and "coveting territory" I will be paraphrasing words written nearly a 100 years ago by a man who identified as Kashmiri, if not perhaps Hindu, though he rather did admire the title Pandit. He very famously preferred to be known for his scientific temper, possibly a reason why today's rulers loathe this man.

He said, and I paraphrase, that those rulers are not considered foreign rule because there was marital intermixing of races and blood relations, because whatever money was made was spent inside India, because it did not go to another country (Ghori and Ghazni aside, the temple was rebuilt within 50 years, though the 'collective trauma' was first heard of in the British parliament sometime in the 19th century)

People have a beautiful tendency to syncretise, to meld with each other, to form cultures of harmony. Look at each state of India, the cultural plurality (that a homogenous overarching 'desi' identity cannot and will not encapsulate, but this discussion is for another post) especially Kashmir. There is amazing cultural syncretism in their literature, art, architecture, even notions of Kashmiri identity.

There is a unity in diversity. When is this threatened? When a section of the population felt trampled on by the 'high-handed' handling of things (in their own words) by the 'elected' powers (there is widespread allegation of electoral rigging over the years in Kashmir)

In the '80's and '90's it comes in the form of 'Islamiyat khatre mein hain' because at that point, they felt they weren't given the opportunities they should by the Indian Government. There was liberal support from external organisations, and insurgency flourished. The Kashmiri Hindu exodus takes place in these decades, and there is an element of "Hindu khatre mein hain" which is fanned by the government. The following two to three passages are from a report by Human Rights Watch in 1992, during said exodus.

A number of Hindu refugees from Kashmir have subsequently denounced the government for encouraging them to leave under false pretenses. In a letter to the editor of Alsafa in October 1990, some 20 Pandit refugees alleged that: There can be no dispute about the fact the Kashmiri Pandit community was made a scapegoat by Jagmohan, some self-styled leaders of our community and other vested interests ... [T]he plan was to make the K.P.'s [Kashmiri Pandits] migrate from the valley so that the mass uprising against occupation forces could be painted as a communal flare up.... Some self-styled leaders of the Pandit community... begged the Pandits to migrate from the valley. We were told that our migration was very vital for preserving and protecting 'Dharm' [religious integrity] and the unity and the integrity of India. We were told that our migration would pave the way for realizing the dream of Akhand Bharat [undivided India].... We were made to believe that our migration was very important for Hinduism and for keeping India together.... We were fooled and we were more than willing to become fools.205

At the same time, it is clear that many Hindus were made the targets of threats and acts of violence by militant organizations and that this wave of killing and harassment motivated many to leave the valley. Such threats and violence constitute violations of the laws of war, and Asia Watch was able to document many specific cases. • On September 20, 1989, O.N. Sharma, a 47-year-old travel agent from Srinagar found a letter written in Urdu in his mailbox, signed by the JKLF. Sharma told Asia Watch that the letter was addressed to him by name and it referred to him as an "Indian dog." The letter told Sharma to leave the valley by September 27, or he and his family would be killed. At the time, Sharma was living with his wife, two children and his mother.

Again paraphrasing words written very soon after Indian independence. "Minority communities should feel secure in their rights as Indian citizens and that is the part of the majority to ensure. Communalism in all forms is the greatest danger to Indian sovereignty as a whole."

Even today, Kashmiri rights are not ensured. The Indian Army and militant/terrorist bodies have both behaved horribly with Kashmiri women over the years with multiple documented cases of rape still pending action (Human Rights Watch has multiple reports on such cases) and so...such boiling over feels inevitable, on some counts.

The Kashmiri people deserve a voice in their own fate.

We are the children of सरस्वती

भारत, our homeland is named after her name, भारती

Our land has been the land of wisdom and knowledge. Be it astronomy, science, and maths or art, cuisine, and medicine.

It seems like our mother has abandoned us when we stopped listening to her voice. We stopped respecting and listening to our elders and their teachings, we lost faith in our traditions and our culture, we let our rituals and routines be influenced and turned into something we can't even recognise. Without our mother, our guide, we stumbled from the path of धर्म. Now we're left vulnerable from the attacks of अधर्म.

And how are we to fight our battle against अधर्म without knowledge? How are we to stand up for what's right when we don't even know the truth? We can't even recognise it even when it's looking right at us.

Our enemies don't just hold g*ns and swords. They have made misinformation, manipulation and manufactured narratives their first choice of weapon. The battlefield is also virtual now.

To fight against them, we need knowledge and strategy and clarity. There's a need to reconnect with our culture and the teachings of our religion.

Ignorance needs to be defeated. And our power must be knowledge.

Look at the hypocrisy India did not purposefully target civilians and all the intellectuals on tumblr were hating on India. Here Pakistan is clearly going after civilians and you all are silent on this? Fucking Hypocrites

10 civilians are dead. 45 others are injured.
Pakistan is targeting villages in Poonch with heavy shelling.
This isn't cross-border firing—this is Pakistan deliberately attacking civilians.#OperationSindoor #PakistanWarCrimes @Shehla_Rashid@AadiAchint @smitaprakash @ShefVaidya pic.twitter.com/7ieZPfKD0I

These are the real monsters. We don't need stories to scare kids anymore, give them nightmares. Because living side by side these monsters is enough of a nightmare.

While India bombed terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and damaged their airbases these Pakistani men are discussing on X (twitter) spaces how they will accept Indian women after they convert to Islam. These low lives can only think about sęx sląvery.

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 👇

Lord Vishnu on a Lotus A plenary portion of the Personality of Godhead known as the Supersoul resides within the body in the region of the heart. His four hands carry a lotus, a wheel of a chariot, a conchshell and a club. His mouth expresses happiness and His eyes are like the petals of a lotus flower. He wears yellowish garments and gold ornaments set with jewels.

That's the definition of demiromantic btw.

Isn't that just normal love?

Doesn't everyone need a deep emotional connection before getting romantic attraction???

I have always been a Liberal. Even with the India-Pakistan war, I have always scoffed at the people that tried to say that Islam is the problem and not just the extremist, terror cells in Pakistan. I wasn't excited about the idea of a war, but I saw it as the result of literally nothing else working out. I heard about Kashmiri Pandits, but I thought what happened to them was because of the militant groups coming in. I was sure that they'll be helped to go back home in time.

Now the Hindus in West Bengal are being slaughtered.

West Bengal has been one of the leading forces of the freedom struggle in our country. We have had brilliant philosophers, artists, dancers, poets, singers, screen play writers, writers everything from West Bengal. It is a state that produces brilliant intellectuals every year. Liberals and socialists. I don't know if you've ever talked to a Bengali, but they're the most capable, well spoken, talented people you will ever come across. It's the stronghold of the Shaktism sect in India. Ma Durga is revered the most in that land.

And now our people are being slaughtered. Hindus are being driven out of their land by the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and certain extremist Muslims. It's like watching the Kashmiri Pandit exodus in real time. For centuries they've coexisted together with no issues, enriching the culture of Bengal, and suddenly brother has turned to foe. Houses and businesses are being burnt. They're looting people and issuing rape threats to women. People are being killed. They're throwing around bombs. They're attacking the police forces.

This is a land that has embraced refugees and shared everything with them. There was no reason to attack these people.

People had to cross rivers in boats to escape. 500 people had to leave their homes overnight because of the sudden extremists. Only Muslims were spared.

Locals say this has been going on since 2020.

Please, I'm begging with folded hands, keep the Bengali Hindus in your mind. Look at what they're facing. This is scary. If even the Liberal and safe Bengal can be turned overnight, no place is safe. What tf are people supposed to do?

I think one of the greatest things about Sanatan/hinduism is how animals are so intrinsically involved in worship and divinity, something which is often used by Hinduphobes to poke fun at us but I’m super proud of my ancestors for making us understand that every being is divine. That divinity is everywhere and that includes animals and plants as well.
