Those who are great, and those who aspire greatness, live through a struggle against the world. The insignificant individual is sustained by the general insignificance of life itself.

Hindu sentiments badly hurt by the use of abusive term ‘Asharfi’ (ie. gold, golden, etc) for a Diwali special sweet.
#WATCH | Jaipur, Rajasthan: This Diwali, a sweet from Jaipur named 'Tyohar Asharfi' is grabbing attention due to its price and unique presentation. A single 9-gram piece is priced at Rs 1,111 which is Approximately Rs 1.23 lakh per kilogram. Anjali Jain, founder of the sweet shop in Jaipur, says, "In the era of kings and maharajas, it was customary to present gold coins—asharfis—as a gesture of appreciation or tribute. We have reimagined this concept in the form of a sweet, crafted as a gold coin, which we have named 'Tyohar Asharfi'. Each 'asharfi' weighs 9 grams and is priced at 1,111—a figure chosen for its auspicious nature. We are offering these in a box of nine, priced at 9,999. As for the price per kilogram, it is priced at Rs 1,23,000 per kilogram."

Sanghism is worse than Nazism because it is Nazism with nanga naach and dance bar lighting as aesthetics, charsi yatra and loudspeaker blazing as culture, and third-rate conspiracy porn and ecologically deestablizing activities as pastime.
Why are schools like DPS New Town peddling nonsense like no crackers diwali? Schools and teachers have max impact on kids and they have no business turning our kids against their own religion.

neelgai theory in its final form de-facto cancelling ambedkar himself 😂
Almost all caste-driven history textbooks on ancient India were written by the Romila Thapars, R.S. Sharmas and D.N. Jhas. No SC-ST-OBC involvement in this crime. Result: UC children were burdened with historical guilt, while others were robbed of their historical pride.

El Sayed winning has made Sanghis so mad that they are now celebrating Republican loss. This revises our desi parable of ‘Angoor Khattey Hain’ with a Hegelian twist. Now, grapes are sweet, for calling it sour would be a total humiliation, so self-clownery becomes the only saving.

Reveling in absolute zero self-respect is the average mental state of a sanghified Hindu. Being nostalgic about a never-existing self-respect is the height of their schizo state.
Republicans have plenty of faults. I still consider them the better option for India and Hindu-Americans. Judge parties by policy, not just online racism. Indian Americans are a low crime high income community. Republicans are tougher on law and order and more likely to cut red tape and taxes. Trump appointed Tulsi Gabbard to lead national intelligence and chose Kash Patel as FBI director. These are substantial positions, not token gestures. His first term delivered 234 federal judicial appointments, including three Supreme Court justices. All three joined the majority against Harvard and UNC’s race-based admissions systems. His administration also moved against federal DEI programmes and racial preferences in contracting. This hurt Indians and all Asian Americans. That institutional record deserves more weight than abuse from anonymous extremist accounts. Online racism should be opposed, but trolls do not decide appointments, admission rules or foreign policy. Trump spoke out for Hindus in Bangladesh. Democrats should answer concerns about USCIRF’s criticism of India, the investigation involving a Swaminarayan temple and their approach to Khalistani separatism. My argument is to compare policies, access and outcomes. Do not let the loudest racist account on your timeline make your political decisions for you.

One has to be amnesiac or intellectually dishonest, or simply a dumb cringe which is most likely, to say things like ‘Neha Bora, before questioning Dalit/marginalized politics, when did you question UC privilege?’ Every next discourse, you hear Neha ranting about all that.

Each day Kolkata gets one bit more ripped off of its sophistry and exceptionalism, and down to the level zero of history. Monke era brought to you by Sanghi fash cult.
Bone-Chilling Incident From Kolkata -Father and son paraded naked in public. -Alleged relationship with a young woman triggers family’s anger. -The woman’s family humiliates the youth and his father. -FIR registered under multiple sections: Sources -Victim: They laughed at our humiliation. -Victim alleges being 'threatened' at gunpoint. Watch as @AnirbanSinhr and @SiddharthaTalya bring us more details.

If one were to go deep in history of Bengali feudal lords, they might just want (and get as well given Sanghi regime is there now) a Kashmir Filesque prop for their misery, which happens to be (in their own words) leaving behind their palatial houses and ‘zamindari’ back there.
South Calcutta aantels living in posh flats in Golf Green and Hindustan Park calling themselves "refugees" is really ironic, because there are actual refugees from East Bengal settled in both the 24 Parganas, generations of who are struggling for 50+ years since they got displaced.

I can put out a whole polemic, but a basic Star Wars ref would do. Sanghi Empire wants its Vader, and it has got some candidates who make serious grievances but in reactionary terms. Now, what is new here is that this co-opted, manipulated Vader is situated within the resistance.

The Vader, who sees himself a part of the resistance but denied a space, makes it altogether problematic for the resistance to counter. For now it means a radical revision of the idea of the resistance itself and its larger purposes. From here begins the rethinking in totality.

A paradox reproduced by another, to dismiss this Vader in terms employed by himself would be an ironic reversal. Revolutionary intiatives demand revolutionary terms, not a rehashed response. To see the aggrieved in reactionary is to also see the reactionary in the aggreived.

As more and more disastrous consequences unravel in Bengal and Kolkata under the puppet regime of BJP, the more you get to hear the word ‘Sanatani’ by the puppet CM of BJP. You ask why are major roads still broken, and the BJP puppet answers, ‘I am a Sanatani’. Quite the humour.

Either you die a hero or live long enough to become a vulgar empiricist.
French “student” protests are even more DUMBER than Indian protests. Not to mention they are much more violent and obscene. And yet, instead of instilling sense among the aggrieved, we find people like Greta Thunberg joining them. I guess it’s really about who cashes in on a dumb ignorant herd. There really is a great market in fuelling populism and delusions of a crowd.
