I dont know what else to say except this- there are more than 180 countries in the world. Most of these are Muslim or Christian apart from China , Japan and SE Asia (Korea for practical purposes is now a Christian nation).  Any refugees such as Rohingya or other Muslims can make their way to these countries. There is only one Hindu country discounting Nepal. 1000 years ago there was also Afghanistan, Tajikistan(they followed a mould of Persian, Vedic and Central Asian shamanism but identified mostly with Puranic Hinduism in  India) and of course Pakistan as well as Cambodia ,Indonesia and Malaysia. All of these were lost due to Buddhist and Muslim "refugees" and "Traders" who were often fifth columnists for their religious brethren abroad. I dont care about any damn Rohingyas or Pathans from Afghanistan or what have you. The latter are still  proud of Ghori for torturing and killing Prithviraj Chauhan and they step over his grave as a sign of contempt. Yes this w...

It is a sad state of affairs when the most articulate and erudite Indian presence in the international media is Shashi Tharoor and he utters cringe worthy nonsense such as British owing India reparations and the wholescale airlift of British Museum artifacts to India. This simply exposes his limitations as a thinker and his utter ignorance of the Western populist zeitgeist since he used to traveling and schmoozing only among the media and academia elites in his bubble. An affection for the British Empire and hence the idea that it civilized India has taken off since the 1950s thanks to American admiration for Churchill for his stalwart conduct in WWII and his prescient views on the Cold War. He coined the term "iron curtain" while touring U.S. Before that Americans were very receptive and sympathetic to the Indian independence movement and had a loathing for the British empire and its treatment of natives across the world. Whether the party was Democrat like FDR or Truma...

In the early days of the Mumbai film industry , Pakistan was never really mentioned and simply referred to as "dushman" (enemy) or "pados" (neighbor). Why this was the case I really dont know. I suspect it had as much to do with Nehruvian sentimentality as the stupidity of the Censor Board. This all changed almost overnight in the late 90s when Pakistan began getting mentioned left and right in movies both pro and con. Initially con and then pro. Im old enough to remember the movies of the early 90s which were produced by D company . How did you know they were produced by the mafia? Some of it was intuitive- if you felt sleazy after watching it but couldnt articulate why then its a mafia produced film. A lot of it involved noble Muslims, cowardly Hindu men and sexually loose Hindu women. Now mind you a lot of these movies werent really anti India, heck they showed an Indian Muslim to be more brave in his patriotism by willing to die than a cowardly Tamil Brahmi...

I suppose we have to fair to Indians. We are not the only ones to have crackpot ideas about all civilizations emanating from India. There is a good deal of these around the world Here is the Serbian version, from the comments of a Croat on unz.com Being a Croat, I know something about Serbian mythology. Kosovo is just a belated, small-scaled variant of what their rational historians call “romantic school of historiography”. It all has begun in the 1870ies, with “historians” like Miloš Milojević, and then continued with quasi-historians & writers Sima Lukin Lazić, ..and then to lunatics like Jovan Deretić (not to be confused with a literary historian bearing the same name), Olga Pjanović Luković etc. Main tenets: * Serbs are the oldest people on earth, most other peoples stemming from them * ancient Egyptian civilization had been, basically, Serbian & as well as Indian * nothing about China & Africa (phenotypically too different) * Serbs established Mesopotam...

Since he discovered that some critics and trolls have been posting negative reviews about some justified, some not(such as his wife sleeping with his subordinates) he has gone on a constant hysterical rant about that forum and is convinced Adam DeAngelo(CEO of Quora) can be hauled in front of an Indian court (hahahahah!) And he has been going on and on about this for a month , right after he promised that he would quit blogging due Indians being a hopeless and slavish race despite possessing 12 strand DNA and even Indian laborers having more than 120 IQ. But then I suppose Modiji needed his help and Ajitji managed to drag him across the finish line again just as the captain played kingmaker to Putin, Trump and others but they stabbed him in the back by continuing to support Israel. What a tragic and noble figure is our captain! Anyway that Karna aspect of captain aside, I have some advice to him that may shut his constant mewling about Quora- if he registers for Quora and participat...

There are all sorts of movements about where Western Pagans who reject their Christian heritage wish to rediscover their own heritage with the help of the only thriving(??) or rather existing ancient Indo European/Neolithic religion which is Hinduism. One of the problems I have had with Sitaram Goel is that he believed in a  dichotomy of monotheism bad and polytheism good ,thus ironically falling into the same binary mindset of monotheism that he claimed to abhor. Firstly not all all polytheistic religions are born the same. The religions of Assyrians and Babylonians relished bloodshed,cruelty and genocide of their neighbors. Contrary to the idea that all polytheistic religions got along together, there are many instances where they committed cultural genocide on each other. We know so little about Druid culture of Britain because Romans burnt all their literature not Christians. Greeks did the same to the Persians when they burnt Persepolis down to the ground where a lot of...

It is hard to tell what exactly the Indian air strike achieved inside Pakistan. There does not seem to have been much information forthcoming from the Indian government which suggests it was George W Bush described Clintons strikes against Osama in 1998-hitting a camel in the butt Never mind that ,what is worse the Indian Air Force in its bravado blundered into an ambush and got downed with a pilot captured by the enemy I dont know who to blame -Modi or the incompetant military which gives him counsel. I can understand Modi's rush to jaction, he has to maintain his reputation of a hawk with elections so close right before the terrorist attacks martyring 40 soldiers. But just because he can , it doesnt mean it shouldnt. Is there any planning or intelligence when comes to military operations. It seems the Indian military doesnt do any training for a mission but simply ahem wings it. The most sorry spectacle of which was the 26/11 fiasco where the NSG actually had to gather comma...

I speak of Kamala Harris, Senator from California who is half Jamaican ,half Tamil and a complete hack and incompetent. She got a break in politics by sleeping with the mayor of San Francisco, he was 60, she was 29. He admitted as much recently Then we have Tulsi Gabbard, an American convert to Hinduism. A war veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. Probably the most formidable of the lot. Her foreign policy instincts are sound. But American public are least interested in her loony socialist schemes in a bull economy. Then we have Elizabeth Warren, a blond blue eyed woman whiter than the cream of milk from a cow in a Norway January who claims to have Indian(casino, not 711 or rather feather not dot) heritage. She beclowned herself by taking a DNA test and revealing that she had only 1/1024th Indian blood. The Indian media will go into hysterics celebrating Kamala Harris.And the feminist will quickly ignore or rationalize Senator Harris sleeping her way to the top. Problem is Kamala id...

While I may sound like a secularist for referring to Hindutvadis as fascist, one has to keep in mind that I find Indian society in general irrespective of political ideology, religion , class or caste to be quite fascist as in hardly any of them respect free speech , easily create mobs ,incite riots and destruction of property, refer to politicians as brothers, uncles and mothers and so on By Western standards this is very much a fascist mindset. However in singling out Hindutvadis in this instance is their distaste for diversity. Fascists dont care for diversity as it gets in the way of their agenda. While I admire Savarkar, there are many things he didnt give a lot of thought to such as his declaration of "One nation,one religion, one language". Sure the nation is India, the religion is Hinduism , but which language was it that he had in mind. We have seen how Hindi is a no go for most Indians not from the Hindi belt. Regarding Hinduism we have to ask which Hinduism ...
