Hindutva for Pakistani Hindus, not Indian Hindus

I never liked Hindutva as it was secular nay atheistic nationalism in a Hindu garb. Savarkar who coined the term was incredibly confused as to what constituted a Hindu. He considered himself more inspired by the Italian freedom fighter Garibaldi than any one else(this information I imagine would be welcome to the half a dozen niche BJP supporters of Sonia Gandhi!)Of course he did. The prawn munching, beef eating Brahmin was of the Chitpavan community who until  200 year priors before their induction as Peshwas were at the fringes of Hindu society looked down upon by the native Dehashtha Brahmins. However the Chitpavan influence on Marathi society had transformed and corrupted even other Brahmin communities. Therefore KB Hegdewar a Dehashta ,originally from Telengana founded a incredibly odd organization called the RSS with no clear mission in mind. Their idea of Hinduism consists of doing some Shastra and vira puja every now and then followed by calisthenics and nationalistic propagan

Honeypots allowed by Arthashastra,why not by R&AW

Chanakya recommends that prostitutes hang out in seedy taverns populated by shady characters and foreigners(pretty much the same thing when it came to rather xenophobic Hindus) and extract whatever valuable information whether plans of rebellion, trade secrets or Greek and Persian saboteurs and movements. I would therefore recommend that R&AW take a page of this book and insist on Bollywood actresses(a glamorous version of the humble prostitute) make themselves useful for once and do their patriotic duty. To this end, they can be either bribed ,especially starlets can be assigned juicy roles and salaries courtesy of R&AW contacts in the industry(though it may be wishful thinking they have more pull than Dawood) or threats to derail their career or reputation. As it is they sleep around with producers and actors to catch a break. Might as well do it for a good cause by entrapping Pakistani, Chinese or American dignitaries whether in India or abroad.

Indian anti Semites: Useful idiots for White nationalists

The white nationalists or neo Nazis or whatever they wish to be called can be a rather clever and resourceful lot at least in the shadowy side of academia and the internet where they (rightfully) belong. It is considered rather gauche and vulgar to gloat over white military and political supremacy over non white countries since 1945. To this end, they claim that they were mere puppets in the hands of Rothschilds/Zionists or whatever euphemism de jure for the Jews. This is a stroke of genius. It fulfills quite a few goals 1. The dimwitted Indians who believe this would agitate for severing of relations with Israel- a reliable ally and further isolate the sole Jewish nation in the international community. 2. Indians would shift blame from the Christian white British and Portuguese to the puppet masters behind the scenes. Ostensibly shifting any heat from the neo Nazi subsection of whites as well. 3. Then as now, it deflects from white supremacist and expansionist agendas of ca

Having Pakistan as an enemy only degrades India

Respectable nations have appropriately formidable enemies. Once upon a time when Indian kingdoms didn't cover even a quarter of the landmass of present day just  northern India , we faced and defeated Seleucids, Scythians, Huns, Arabs and Turks all of whom defeated pretty much every other major power in their wake. Nowadays we deal with a third rate nation who were only recently goat and sheep herders whose  core ethnic group isn't even martial as they like to claim . In the entire history of Pakistan , the only powerful native kingdom with any kind of pull was Maharaja Ranjit Singh's. And all those aforementioned were defeated by peoples of Ganga Yamuna and Godavari basins. No wonder in the face of this utter embarrassment, the Islamic Republic coopts other peoples as their heroes such as Mohd Bin Qasim ,Mahmud Ghazni, Mohammad Ghori or Ahmad Shah Abdali much to the irritation of other countries who have a stronger claim on them . Compared to those earlier dynasti
