Dhruv Rathee, Prachi Nigam, and Parveen Shaikh

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Mr. Vairamuthu, even if the lyrics of your song “Pon Maalai Pozhudhu” is replaced with “ABCDEFGH”, it is the melody that stays in our hearts and not your lyrics!

Here is a demo..

Brilliantly demonstrated!. Vairamuthu is a cinema lyricist who penned songs to fit the tune and he is masquerading as a poet! 

If not for Ilayaraj's music, he would be a nobody. Ungrateful fellow. True poetry is different. It stands on its own like the Himalayas for eternity.

BJP in all likelihood may fall short of simple majority.

Democracy requires level playing. What we have today in India is complete asymmetry loaded against the opposition and in favour of those in power.

This is not by accident. This is by design. This is how fascists controlled by oligarchs work.

People watch movies, gambling, addiction, IPL etc to forget their daily own troubles

Then as in movies there comes a hero who can fight the villain & give them dreams. People cheer

Modi created Cong as villain & himself as Hero

People now don't bother abt mehangai berozgari etc

After deep reflection on the challenges facing a Dharmic renaissance, I'm beginning to see that there is one 'ism' which permeates the Hindu family and which now needs to be purged... 'Buddhuism'. It manifests in the form of certain neuroses and psychoses ... 'Sarva Dharma vada pav', ' Vasudaiva Stupiditum' (courtesy @SGRohitArya - eternally indebted !) but also in other forms of irrational self-disempowerment such as 'impotent aristocracy', 'saatvik ahamkara' (thank you @satyanveshan ) . Please help me further define the #BuddhuHindu by sharing any other characteristics in comments. If we define it we can deal with it. Dhanyavaadah in advance.

Galgotia student videos are funny but also insightful in as much they show that no one has any idea what Modi is talking about--much less it "hitting" some sort of chord.

And these are pretty elite voters.

Something to remember as post facto explanations stream in.

#GalgotiaUniversity is a good example of why this regime went hammer and tongs at JNU, Jamia, AMU, TISS, FTII etc. They don’t want any critical thinking left in the country, just automated bots ready to believe everything the dear leader spouts. #NewIndia

At this point, I feel Dhruv Rathee is simply documenting this era of the country for posterity and future documentaries.

Marxism is a failed idea. 

Ambedkar liberated millions of oppressed people and gave us one of the most robust and resilient constitutions. You can't compare Marx with Ambedkar. 

Koi barabari nahi.

Dr Amedkar was a student of pragmatist John Dewey. You can see his influence on Baba Saheb's thought process.

yes, when 3 million of your Bengali brethren dying of famine in 1942-43, somebody kept his pragmatism, didn't even write one letter of concern to the British Raj govt of which he was a minister.

Decency. Decorum. Discipline.

These three words are often invoked against those who raise their voice against injustice. 

They cite rules without underlying principles or the goals they are meant to serve.

There will come a time when people, looking back at today’s extreme inequality will be shocked that we tolerated this, the same way that we get shocked that our ancestors tolerated slavery & serfdom.

Sharp Edge:That video clips of 3000 sexual assaults on 100s of women can be circulated & still make no difference to a politician’s prospects is an indictment of our system.

Prajwal Revanna stood for election,the PM campaigned for him & he’s still free

Should be forgiven as experiment with truth of the age of Internet.

Reservations and RSS: A historical perspective. The third Sarsanghchalak of the RSS, Balasaheb Deoras, is critical to the story of the Sangh's endorsement of reservations.

Was reading E. A. H. Blunt on Caste, ‘Caste Customs, Marriage, Reform.’ And his observation was: 

“And the reformers are few, the orthodox are many.”

Widespread Modern Education, or as Sowell puts it ‘expensive isolation from reality’ has reversed the mass consensus today.

Brahmins never oppressed anybody. We focused on education, protecting our religion & improving our lives. My ancestors preserved the knowledge of Vedas & died for it. We neither had time nor interest. I am a proud Brahmin & no amount of crying by freeloaders will change that.

Read this book with documented legal cases to learn about the structural horror that a large section of population faced for centuries. It will help you.

The Prachi ad released by the @BombayShavingCo is a wake up call to the advertising and marketing industry.

The sheer insensitivity of the company which continues to defend the act comes from an extreme sense of power and privilege, where the victim - Prachi - is reduced to a body part, facial hair. 

https://twitter.com/shubhos/status/1785869218182987850?t=KgQdRPjBhzOZ6AUxoDVP5Q&s=19

This is precisely the kind of problem we’ll probably see more of as social media becomes mainstream. Everything is gamified so whoever capitalises on the latest trend can draw a lottery. The world was always an insensitive place but social media will make it million times more.

This Facebook post, which calls for the genocide of Brahmins, is still very much active. 

How is this even allowed? Can one write the same for other communities?

It's time govt bring a law for the protection of Brahmins.

Calls for Brahmin extermination are not just tolerated but often celebrated. Many so-called RWs are also inclined this way even though they pretend to condemn such statements for political correctness. There are 4 underlying factors that make the moral case for this monstrous idea:

1. Academic consensus on caste & wholehearted acceptance of the same by Hindus of all castes

2. Modern Hindu (reformist) mindset

3. Political weaponisation of pts 1 & 2 (for cultivation of vote bank)

4. State endorsement to pt 2 & 3 

Well-meaning Hindus often fight 3 & 4 while adhering to 1 & 2. They apply Dettol on the head to cure a brain tumour. Good luck to them.

Narrative gets evoked ad nauseam so that contemporary reality gets dumped to cold storage.
