Absolutely dystopian how they're preparing us for a potential war by organizing mock drills all over the country and the way people are celebrating and clapping hands like it's a fucking cricket match just tells me that the average Indian population has a brain as dense as a blackhole because wdym y'all still don't realise that not everything is solved by war which often leads to unnecessary suffering and death of innocent people who have nothing to do with the neo-fascist political agendas at play.
"There are no other options" Boy do I have news for you.
Can people please talk about the absolutely disgusting thing that got uncovered in Tirumala?
Honestly I don't engage with many politics or news posts, as they can often end up in conflict- but this absolutely disgusts and saddens me to no end.
There are so many things on so many levels that hurt me about this- and I'll be talking about it in this post.
If you do not like this post, or disagree with my opinions, please do not engage with this post.
QUICK RECAP, FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW OR NEED A REFRESHER:
Recently, it was uncovered through lab reports that there were animal products (such as beef, pork and fish) in the prasad (food given as offerings to the deity in the temple, in this case, Lord Venkateswara, and then given to the devotees) of the Tirumala temple, more specifically, in the Laddos.

The following is my view on this is my opinion on this whole incident, from what I know about it.
Again, if you do not like or disagree with the contents, please do not interact.
First of all, the fact that this went under the noses of so many people, so easily, is a complete dissapointment.
Hundreds, if not thousands of devotees visit the massive temple complex every day- and consume the prasad- hell, this doesn't even include the people who get the prasad as a gift from people who visited Tirumala.
Not even counting faith- this was so wrong on multiple other levels- including health. This was obviously a massive food safety violation.
Fine. Let's say that this alarmingly large issue went unnoticed accidently. But that still doesn't justify the responses of the people in charge.
And then going into that temple and saying that 'if we did this wrong then the lord will take care of us' is absolutely shameful.
Pushing all the wrongs onto god's name, just so that no-one will question them, instead of acknowledging a huge, huge wrong is just absolutely so so disappointing and shameful.
I am just immensely, immensely disappointed by this chain of events- and all I can say is that I'm absolutely ashamed of it all.
This whole incident speaks a lot about these 'organisations' and their actions- and just breaks my trust in them even more.

I was scared to post about this incident- but after a point, I simply could not take it. Tirumala is a place very, very close to my heart and honestly I considered it a safe haven- but now this incident has shaken me up. Tirumala will never lose its divinity- but this just makes me so much more reluctant to go there- not because I don't like Tirumala, or that I think of it as different- but because of my distrust at the organisation handling matters regarding it.
I'll probably add on more to this post soon, but for now, this is it.

yet the cries for peace and humanity only echo when India retaliates.
the world weeps when terrorist camps are reduced to dust—but stayed silent when our people were turned to ashes. was our blood not red enough to stain headlines? did it not matter, just because it flowed quietly through classrooms and prayer halls in Poonch? where was the outrage when bombs fell on unaware children in response to us shelling their terrorists? when prayers were silenced mid-sentence in Gurudwara?
was peace not a global concern then?
was humanity not an international concern when our unarmed citizens were hunted down and killed right in front of their family—mercilessly shot in the name of religion—when all they wanted was to enjoy a vacation with their families in the hills of Pahalgam?
do only terrorists deserve mercy? not the child clutching his dead father’s shirt? not the mother who still sets a plate for the son who’ll never come home?
why does the world stay silent when we mourn, but raise its voice when we defend?
do the hands that carry weapons of hate deserve more compassion than the hands that held their daughter’s as they died?
We were supposed to be mourning our 1D boys in our 80s. Not now. I’m speechless.
This is the sectional cut off (aka the minimum required score in each section of the exam to pass) for the IPMAT Indore 2023....the difference between General category and the rest is insane. Not to mention the reservation.
Yes, casteism exists in India. But it's probably not how the rest of the world is made to believe.
The IPMAT is just an example. This happens EVERYWHERE and I AM SO TIRED OF THIS.

Pakistan is inching closer to mainland India slowly, and PEOPLE ON TUMBLR ARE ASKING US OF ALL PEOPLE TO DEESCALATE. Do they not know we will all die or get Ghazwa-e-hinded if we stop resisting. Here in America people are so blissfully ignorant and most don’t even know what is going on and the others are like yeah India and Pakistan are fighting like usual no big deal, while I am refreshing India today continuously to see if my country is safe. The ignorance here is sickening. Only my world history teacher understands what is going on……
I’m glad they’re ignoring it. I’m not ready for “American middle east experts” to jump on the “South Asian expert” band wagon rn. I don’t want to live through the trauma of our peoples deaths being minimised and explained away by some asshole on the internet because they want to seem neutral and peace loving. I’m not ready for the DARVO and the justification of terrorism that these people are used to doing in other conflicts around the world. I want them to fuck off and leave us alone.
Just hope that Pakistan stops bombing and starts de-escalating soon. No one wants to be in a war except for the terrorist Pakistani military that refuses to back down and is targeting civilians.
ATTENTION EVERYONE. wake up. they just refilled the wet food downstairs
