Just putting this out there for those who don't know much about Kashmir and the conflict since quite a few marxists (or leftists) have taken the position that kashmir is occupied and should be free; Kashmir is actually the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It's a multi-ethnic and multi-religious state. Kashmir is claimed by Pakistan and China (who have even lesser claim to that region). Pakistan is a state created by Islamists for Islamic fundamentalism as they refused to share equal power with Hindus, they violently cleansed Hindus from the region they are currently occupying. Kashmiri "self-determination" has been paved by cleansing Kashmir off of its native Hindu population. Pakistan has settled non-Kashmiris en masse to Kashmir so no voting would be fair. "Self-determination" = ethno-nationalism at the cost of native ethnic groups within Kashmir. why are leftists or Marxist even supporting this? You can argue against the military presence, but if there wasn't a military presence there then that'd invite more attacks against Indians. Sorry but not sorry that we don't want our people dead.

Any idiot.. and by that I mean ANY FUCKING IDIOT who is moaning and groaning that terrorism has no religion and are curtaining the issue by general ass statements like it is a humanitarian issue not a religious issue are not only ignorant ass fools salivating for a disembowelment by their so called Muslim brothers but are also the worst kind of cowards I have come across. You dont have the balls to call a spade a spade. You dont have the guts to look truth in the face.

So take your pseudo secular bullshit and selective compassion and whinning about Hindu Muslim unity and fuck right off.

We have had enough.

We have had ENOUGH!

Hindus have been invaded and forcefully converted and mercilessly slaughtered and inhumanly raped and hacked and cut and beaten and thrashed out of their homes and livelihoods and humiliated, their places of worship uprooted and desecrated, their voices strangled under the guise of the Gandhian idea of secularism and their very right to exist threatened time and again from an era immemorial.

We have had fucking enough of the so called liberal West and their ideas of how we should live. We have had fucking enough of Pakistan's nonsense and Bangladesh's problems and the supposed 'minority' community's victim posturing. We have had enough of sidestepping and whitewashing and glorification of the Islamic invasion and their relentless terrorist attacks on us.

We have had fucking enough of showing the other cheek.

I will not live my life with the fear of practicing my own religion. I will not live in the shadows, spine bent, and apologetic about my own existence. I will not live my life catering to the hypocrites and the cowards who consistently blind themselves to my people's pain and humiliation.

We cannot live in peace and harmony with these fuckers no matter how ideal and utopian it sounds. They won't let us. Their religion won't let us. Their faith and belief and the so-called education they have received from generations won't let us. These people who laugh at the misery of those poor hindu women and children crying beside the bodies of their husbands and fathers. These animals who celebrate this horror show on social media and congratulate the terrorists. These monsters who would rather be politically correct and appear secular than open their eyes to the reality of this nightmare.

Stop enabling this stupid foolish phyrric dream of Hindu Muslim unity and come back to the fucking ground from the clouds you idiots.

And to the rest, go the hell for real.

Take your sucidal ideations and your superiority complex and your religeous beliefs which call Hindus infidels and kafirs and ask you all to tear down our existence for some hedonistic faith of purification and your fucking 72 fairies and burn in hell.

If I had even an iota of ascetic merit, I would have cursed you all to get wiped off the face of the Earth.

Honestly the hinduphobic left is just so lazy. They'd bend over backwards to avoid thinking rationally. They just wanna be a part of something. So desperate.

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?

I have been a little overwhelmed from writing and reading so much about the attacks. I had just started to catch up with what was happening in Bengal and this happened. And I had to let it out. Had to speak up. Had to educate myself on what happened.

But today I took a break

For humanity’s sake, stop siding with abusers!

well then point it out in every single religion because they all are flawed

this hinduphobia gang is so stupid its unreal because what the actual fuck do you mean that 'caste violence is an accepted fact' WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU ACCEPT SOMETHING SO INHUMAN.

atrocities are happening in YOUR NAME. people of your religion are commintting it, and you think its enough for you to just accept it?

this is fucking privilege. you think you get to stay passive while people are killed, raped, displaced, and tortured because of a centuries-old system that was designed to maintain your comfort and power?

if you really cared about people slandering your religion, maybe start with the people within it who are using it as a tool to dehumanise. maybe fix that first. maybe stop crying “hinduphobia” every time someone points out the rot.

Dude maybe stop projecting

I love seeing such parallels. It gives so much perspective to look at things. And identify the flaws in how information is just fed to us.

‘India-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir’ is like saying ‘Israeli-Occupied West-Bank’, it delegitimises indigenous sovereignty over their traditional lands.

‘Pakistan’ is just like ‘Palestine’ in that it was a lie made up to ensure Islamist domination of the regions they were losing control of.

Kashmir is India the same way Judea is Israel

All Eyes on Kashmir

Goosebumps!!!

this is very true. there has been a sudden upsurge of spirituality among Indians in the last 5-6 years. As if something ancient is slowly awakening

Bhairava is the foundation on which she stands. So naturally his worship will intensify first. Once he is fully established in this land she will come with her khadga

How brainwashed do you have to be to not see the truth.

Fellas what were those terrorists looking for when they asked the men to pull down their pants? The Aadhar Card?

Being vocal matters. We need more voices on our sides, taking our side, talking about our stories.

Hindus Stand Together 🫂

Against terrorism and extremism.

I tried to share my views on my Instagram story too. The message came out much clearer. So just sharing it here on Tumblr.

And some additions I made to put across my point

From the below, I just want to draw a parallel

A woman, somewhere in India, gets assaulted. The news channels picks it up. The internet erupts. People are angry, grieving, and demanding justice.

Feminists across the nation say: it's happened again, we know the criminals are clearly men, it's always men, we need stronger laws to protect us, punishment needs to be harsh for assaults, men are the danger, let's not trust them, ever again.

Parents across the nation sit down with their sons and daughters and tell them - be careful around men, be cautious, be alert.

They don't ask them to stop talking to their male coworkers, their male friends at school or college, in the neighbourhood, they don't ask them to not board a cab if the driver is male. Or ask them to never share the same space as a man.

Because fear is exhausting.

And now a hate crime against Hindus is committed in Kashmir. The news covers it, it's all over the internet, everyone is grieving, fuming over it, talking about it. And we know why the victims were shot.

The only motive terrorists have is spread fear. And they've clearly sent across that message. But it's on us to fix it. Let's not ask others to not trust their Muslim friends, neighbours, coworkers, don't let this break those bonds. Just be alert, be careful, be cautious.

Don’t let this fear turn into hate. Don’t let one crime make you burn every bridge. Don’t carry the weight of suspicion everywhere you go.

Thought this was a recent post. But this is from a year ago.

Because the question still stands true.

Ones again they are all silent. Not even a single word. They hate BJP but why don't they talk about victims who are hindu?

What kind of rivalry they had with Kanhaiyalal?

What kind of rivalry they had with Sakshi?

What kind of rivalry they had with Shradha?

What kind of rivalry they had with Ayush and Aahan (literal kids)?

What kind of rivalry they had with those Hindus on Mira road that day?

Why this "secularism" is one sided? And why I am a "fascists" to call this bullshit out? Why can't they just freaking stop being this heartless!?

Nritya Ganapati, a dancing form of the Hindu god Ganesha.

It was Kashmir a few years ago, it was Bengal recently, it was Kashmir again today.

Who knows when they'd come knocking on your doors, asking you're a Hindu, and shoot you point blank just for that.

This is exactly why I started sharing posts/screenshots from tumblr. Yes I branded it as "in my activist era✨" because yes I wanna voice out my opinions and views. Not just about Hinduism, hinduphobia, but also feminism, and LGBTQ issues, and environmental issues.

I have many followers who are good friends and support Gaza and are leftists. But if I have still stayed friends despite not agreeing to their views, they do have a choice to be friends with me if I have different opinions than them. So yes so far I haven't lost any followers/friends over it. And I hope I don't.

Some conversations I’ve had with Hindus: “I can’t post about hinduphobia because I don’t want to upset the friends who follow me-”

Me: first of all why are you friends with people who would be upset with you for posting about Hinduphobia? And why do their opinions matter to you more than fellow dead Hindus?

@mrityuloknative 's thanks for this.

This is a call out post. This is not coming from a feminist, but a Hindu.

True Hinduism gives equal respect to feminine and masculine energies.

So, men, you need to evaluate how you view women while claiming you're a Hindu.

How can you call yourself a Hindu while calling women names, while making and laughing at gr*pe jokes, while turning a blind eye to assault?

What are you even doing? You chant "Jai Shri Ram" and use the same vocal cords to hurl a slur at a woman you all have collectively demonized. You comment gr*pe threats under a woman's post like you’re above consequences.

And since I mentioned Shri Ram, let me remind you:

He continued to treat Surpanakha with respect, continued addressing her as "devi", even after she expressed her desire to kill Mata Sita so that she gets to marry Shri Ram. Even after she crossed every line of maryada.

He didn’t degrade her, didn’t mock her.

What would he think of you now?

You add sanskrit shlokas in your bio, but your comment history drips with filth. You bow at Mata Durga’s feet during Navratri, then talk about women’s bodies in a degrading manner.

This isn’t Hinduism. This is *misogyny wrapped in saffron*.

You're so desperate to not associate with what Islam or other Abrahmic religions stand for. And yet you're an equal part of the misogyny that they perpetuate on women everywhere in India.

Take out some time and really think about it. Are you a true Hindu or is it just for social media?

Are you really ready to fight adharma? Do you not know that for any fight with Adharma you want to win, you'd need the feminine energy on your side, by your side, and at times have them lead you. Our ancient texts, our folklore, our puranas are evidence for it.

Understanding Hindu Scriptures-

Hinduism consists of an extensive collection of ancient religious writings and oral accounts that expound upon eternal truths, some of which Hindus believe to have been divinely revealed and realized by their ancient sages and enlightened individuals. Hindu scriptures (such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Agamas, and Puranas), epics (the Bhagavad Gita and Ramayana), lawbooks, and other philosophical and denominational texts, have been passed on for generations through an oral and written tradition.

Since spiritual seekers have different levels of understanding, scriptural teachings are presented in a variety of ways to provide guidance to all seekers. Scripture in Hinduism, however, does not have the same place as it does in many other religious traditions. While the Vedas and other sacred writings are considered valid sources for knowledge about God, other means of knowledge, such as personal experience of the Divine, are regarded highly as well. Some Hindu philosophers have taught that these other means of knowledge should be seen as secondary to scripture. But other Hindu philosophers have taught that religious experience can be considered equal or even superior to scriptural teachings.

Hindu scriptures are classified broadly into two categories: Shruti and Smriti. The word Shruti literally means "heard", and consists of what Hindus believe to be eternal truths akin to natural law. Hindus believe these truths are contained in the vibrations of the universe. It was the ancient sages, Hindus say, who realized these eternal truths through their meditation, and then transmitted them orally. The term Shruti is generally applied to the Vedas and includes the Upanishads, which constitute the fourth and final part of the Vedas. These texts are revered as "revealed" or divine in origin and are believed to contain the foundational truths of Hinduism. Eternal truths are said to be realized by those with open and spiritual minds.

The second category of scripture is Smriti, which literally means "memory," and is distinguished from Shruti in terms of its origin. These texts are designed to help Hindus "remember" the teachings of Shruti. For many Hindus, all other scriptural texts are loosely classified as Smriti. Teachings in Smriti texts are meant to be read and interpreted in light of changing circumstances over kala (time), desha (land), and guna (personality). These texts are intended to create structure for society, and must be flexible in response to changing history, geography, and communities.

Although there is variation across Hindu denominations in regard to what is classified Shruti or Smriti, a discussion of the major Hindu scriptures follows.

Shruti Texts -

Vedas:

The word Veda means "knowledge". There are four Vedas: Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharva, of which the Rig Veda is the oldest. It has over 10,000 mantras that deal with a wide range of topics. Some Hindus see the Vedas as texts expounding on rituals and Gods, whereas others see them as teaching metaphysical and spiritual truths about God and the soul. While there is general agreement that the Vedas are at least over three thousand years old, there is little agreement on just how old they are. Evidence is scarce and estimates of their age vary widely, from 1200 BCE to thousands of years earlier than that.

Upanishads: These texts contain an extensive exploration of the methods of understanding the self, God, and the nature of the world. There are more than a hundred Upanishads. The Upanishads, along with the Bhagavad Gita and Brahma Sutras, constitute the primary basis for the practice of Jnana Yoga, the path of knowledge.

Smriti Texts -

Upavedas: The Upavedas consist of four main texts. The first text deals with ayurveda, the science of health and life, and outlines how to cure disease and prevent it. Dhanurveda is about the science of warfare. Gandharvaveda is the study of aesthetics, and delineates art forms such as singing, dancing, writing poetry, creating sculptures, etc. The Arthashastra deals with public administration, governance, economy, and politics.

Vedangas: There are a number of auxiliary texts known collectively as Vedanga- some of them are considered Shruti, but they fall under Smriti for the most part. They cover a range of topics: oral chanting of scripture (shiksha), grammar (vyakarana), prosody (chhandas), etymology (nirukta), astronomy (yotisha), and obligatory rituals (kalpa).

Puranas: Stories in the Puranas translate the meanings of the ancient Shruti scriptures and teach them to the masses by explaining the teachings of the Vedas and Upanishads through stories and parables. There are eighteen major Puranas (Mahapuranas) and many minor ones (upapuranas) that have compiled stories and narratives over many centuries, Each Purana tells stories around a principal character- either about a specific form of the Divine (or God) or a sage. They cover a wide range of sacred and secular topics such as the manifestations of God; teachings on dharma, karma, death, and rebirth; the use of mantras and other religious observances; the significance of sacred sites for pilgrimages; the importance of service; genealogies of kings and sages; cosmology; ayurveda; and astrology. Ancient, modern, and contemporary Hindu beliefs and religious practices are derived in large part from the Puranas.

Ramayana: This popular epic tells the life story the noble prince named Rama, whom Hindus believe to be an incarnation of the Divine. Prince Rama suffers year of exile and many hardships while destroying powerful demons before returning to rule his kingdom. This epic portrays several characters who embody ideal qualities and conduct. Among them are Rama himself as the ideal man; Sita as the ideal woman and emblem of strength; Hanuman as the ideal devotee of Rama; and Lakshmana and Bharata as devoted brothers. There are numerous versions of the Ramayana, of which the most well-known are those by the original author Sage Valmiki and the poet-saint Tulsidas. These texts are recited by devoted Hindus at the home and in devotional gatherings, and are also the basis for popular children's stories, dances, and dramatic performances. Additionally, many consult the scripture for guidance on everyday life. Homages to the Ramayana can be seen all around Southeast Asia through architecture and dramatic renderings of the epic.

Mahabharata: With over 100,000 verses, the Mahabharat is a historical epic, and is the longest poem the world has known. It is seven times the combined length of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Based on an extended conflict between two branches of the Kaurava family, the Mahabharata is a trove of stories and discourses on the practice of Dharma. As a scripture, its primary messages are the importance of truth, justice, self sacrifice, and the upholding of Dharma, the need for complete devotion to God, and the ultimate futility of war. Embedded in the Mahabharata is a text of special scriptural significance -- the Bhagavad Gita.

Bhagavad Gita: The Bhagavad Gita is a primary scripture for Hindus. Although it is a tiny part of the Mahabharata and technically classed as a Smriti text, it is traditionally accorded the rank of an Upanishad. The Bhagavad Gita is believed to divulge a number of truths and life lessons by Krishna, who Hindus believe to be an incarnation of the Divine. Krishna is speaking to Arjun, a warrior prince, who is in the middle of a battlefield trying to decide whether it is dharmic or not to fight in a war with his family members, friends, and teachers. Krishna describes to Arjun why it is dharmic for him to pick up arms in this situation, and fight the force that is disrupting peace for citizens all over India. Though fighting goes against the idea of ahimsa, or non-violence, Arjun's dharma as a prince is to use his skills to fight injustice to make his kingdom a safe and peaceful place for all his citizens. The Bhagavad Gita is meant to help one understand that upholding dharma can be challenging, especially in situations where there is not a clear right or wrong. In modern times, many people, including non-Hindus, have read the Gita.

Dharma Shastras: This class of texts that explains how Dharma is maintained in daily life. The texts deal with a wide range of topics: the responsibilities of each ashrama (stage of life), civil and criminal law, dietary rules, festivals, pilgrimages, charity, etc. Since these texts are part of Smriti, not Shruti, their teachings are subject to re-interpretation to suit differences in time and place. There are numerous texts composed by various authors over many centuries.

Darshana Shastras: These are six philosophical texts that are the basis for the six major schools of Hindu philosophy. Two of the most widely studied are the Brahma Sutras by Sage Vyasa and the Yoga Sutras by Sage Patanjali.

Agama Shastras: Ancient and numerous, including many that have been lost over the centuries, these texts deal with practical aspects of devotion and worship, including personal and temple rituals and practices.

Bhakti Texts: From ancient to contemporary times the teachings, poems, and songs composed by saints in regional languages have been a major source of inspiration. They convey simple messages of devotion, dharma, and spiritual practice through the language of the local people throughout all parts of India and beyond

The plethora of scriptures is not as bewildering as they might appear at first sight. Most Hindus receive their religious education from family traditions and discourses by spiritual leaders. Individual Hindus follow the prayers and teachings of the sect to which they belong and possibly the more specific teachings of a guru (spiritual teacher). Few directly access the Vedas and Upanishads that provide the foundation for all other scriptures in Hinduism, many read commentaries about these scriptures instead. The stories from the Puranas and epics and songs composed by saints are the most common vehicles of religious education.

Key Takeaways-

• The Vedas are the foundational texts of Hinduism

• Hindu scriptures are numerous and diverse and are meant to provide a guide to each individual on their unique path

I don't really lean towards either left or right. Because there are times when the left is right about some things and the right is wrong about some things.

But some of the people on the left need to leave indigenous people's business to them. Don't try to fight their battles for them. Especially not when you are literally trying to frame them as the villain, without knowing the truth.

The left only wants validation from others for always supporting the right thing while being blissfully unaware of what the right thing actually is.

So go ahead and assume I'm a right wing Hindutva activist if I follow hinduism, do not like the abrahaic religions because of their teachings, and acknowledge the atrocities hindus have faced in the past, and are facing in the current timeline.

Atleast, I'm talking about people who have similar views and beliefs as me, people who really need a voice, people belonging to a place I belong to, people who look like me, talk like me, worship our gods and the nature like me, while you are still crying about a place that you have no business talking about, aka Gaza. If you really cared about people, you'd acknowledge that Hindus in Bengal are going through the same thing that islamic people are "supposedly* going through in Gaza.

HAPPY JANMASHTAMI TO EVERYONE 🫶🫶🫶🫂

if you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog. :)

1. I spent the Covid lockdown learning how to make homemade pasta 🍝 (but wish I had just started a tiktok😂)

2. My favourite season is summer 🌞 (but climate change is ruining it and I blame the rich and the greedy for it)

3. I love writing. I have been working on something since 2021 and so far I've only written 10 chapters🥲 (but the story is beautiful and deserves to be put out there for everyone to read)

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.

This is a call out post. This is not coming from a feminist, but a Hindu.

Wait, you said son/daughter. Can you elaborate?

Women in Mahabharata - Vidhata

She is described as a son/daughter of Khyati and Bhrigu. Her siblings are Dhata and Lakshmi.

In Mahabharata, in the tale of Uttanka, she appears as a woman in the Naga realms, alongside her sister Dhata, where they weave the black-and-white threads of days and nights, on the wheel of time which is turned by the six seasons.

Dhata and Vidhata have been since long been thought of as the twin goddesses presiding over the concept of Fate.

Can't talk about any iconic bhakts of Maa Saraswati, but I've never heard a single performance of folk singers in Awadh not have a geet dedicated to Mata Sharda Bhawani. They sing her glories for she is the goddess of art and music.

And Maihar which is in Madhya Pradesh now, is the seat of Sharda Bhawani, and people in huge numbers go there from Awadh to worship her. I've never been there but I really wish to go there one day.

I am

Maybe

A teeny tiny bit salty there aren't like well known iconic Saraswati bhakts

Atleast not any that I know off

There's Mirabai for Krishna and Ramakrishna Paramahamsa for Maa Kali

Like c'mon dude,

I expected atleast a legendary poet or astronomer or mathematician

I'm sure that the ancient universities of India were busttling with Saraswati bhakts

But why didn't they write down any of their stories and lives :(

GURL SAME

Like where did all the Saraswati bhakts go?? Just disappeared into thin air??? 😭😭😭😭

Some or rather most universities were filled with Buddhist ideologies tho so I don't know how many were Saraswati Bhakts bit I'm sure there were some ofcourse

Also another reason could be is because Saraswati wasn't/isn't much worshipped, like in the way Kali, Durga, Vishnu, Shiva, Lakshmi and all are worshipped with temples and elaborate rituals throughout Indian subcontinent...

Like I can maybe name a few temples dedicated to Saraswati and only maybe the eastern side, have a dedicated day to worship her

So yeah... Its sad she doesn't gets the recognition she deserves tho :(
