operation sindhoor...the transparent throughline between the Indian Hindutvas wanting to maintain control over the state + the family. and having a military press briefing with all women soldiers to pinkwash bombings. transparent. disgusting to see people across gender, class, caste, and sexuality lines supporting this govts actions.
framing hindus as colonizers vs muslims/arabs has to be even dumber than saying jews are not indigenous to the levant.
…do you know how old hinduism is?
“colonizers framing themselves as the oppressed so they don’t have to atone for their crimes told me the actual oppressed are oppressors so i’m just going to believe it without question.”
get a grip 😂 the earth is flat too, right?
people who know history: so arab colonization—
morons on the internet:
If you're not Indian or Hindu and you're into Vedic astrology, yoga or some other practice rooted to Hinduism and you can't speak up for oppressed Hindus or when when Hindus get attacked & selectively murdered, then you have no business using them for your aesthetics or profiting off from those practices.

Srinagar: As bullets rained down on terrified tourists in lush meadows of Baisaran in Pahalgam hill station of south Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Tuesday, one man chose to stand between life and death—not for himself, but for others.
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place on 13 April 1919. A large crowd had gathered at the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, Punjab, British India, during the annual Baisakhi fair to protest against the Rowlatt Act and the arrest of pro-Indian independence activists Saifuddin Kitchlew and Satyapal. In response to the public gathering, the temporary brigadier general R. E. H. Dyer surrounded the people with his infantry regiments of the British Indian Army. The Jallianwala Bagh could only be exited on one side, as its other three sides were enclosed by buildings. After blocking the exit with his troops, Dyer ordered them to shoot at the crowd, continuing to fire even as the protestors tried to flee. The troops kept on firing until their ammunition was low and they were ordered to stop. Estimates of those killed vary from 379 to 1,500 or more people; over 1,200 others were injured, of whom 192 sustained serious injury. Britain has never formally apologised for the massacre but expressed "deep regret" in 2019.
Remembering the victims of Jallianwallah today. We will never forget.
Om Shanti.

Gwan sik's constant "if you don't like it then run away and come back to me" is the reason why geum myeong was able to leave yeong beom. She knew...she knew that her father would be by her side no matter what and I love how the show highlighted the importance of supportive parents. I'm so sad that it ended though. Dramas like these are so rare. They always end up leaving a mark.
I have been thinking about this and realised that we don't actually have a deva or devi for beauty. People think it is Mata Lakshmi but it's not true. None of her Ashtalakshmi forms also have her represent beauty. Mata
The sibling pairs have different skin colours — Vishnu-Parvati are dark skinned, Shiv-Saraswati are fair skinned, Brahma-Lakshmi are golden skinned — and all of them are called beautiful.
So where does this concept of beauty even come from? That fair is beautiful and dark skinned is not? Does it come from the west? From goddesses like Aphrodite, Venus or Freya? Or were they also made to represent beauty in the modern world to suit white people's beauty standards?
