When Peace Becomes A Wound: India, Terrorism, And The Weight Of Restraint

शीतला सप्तमी

My family celebrates Sheetla Saptami every year twice. Once in the month of Chaitra (चैत in Awadhi) and then in the month of Shravan (सावन in Awadhi)

My mother has to observe a fast on Saptami and do a pooja before dawn the next day

Hibiscus flowers, doob grass and paan leaves are offered to Mata

There are offerings made, which is completely satvic. There is a puri, a batasa(बतासा), a jaggery filled gujiya (गुजिया), few uncooked soaked chana, a small amount of dahi, a dallop of lapsi(लपसी prepared from flour and jaggery), and a clove(लौंग)

A diya is to be lit and kept on a rice filled earthen bowl called कोसा in Awadhi. Which is kept on a kalash filled with water and adorned with mango leaves

Why the fuck did this issue even become so polarising. Its common FUCKING sense that poor civilians did NOT deserve to die. Everyone who is justifying their murders belongs to same group as hindutva IT cell celebrating poor kids dying. I hate this country.

The government can build thousands of temples for hindus but not protect those beloved “hindus” lmao

there is literally no one justifying deaths of tourists.

Oh god. This is disturbing.

Rapists are not some alien species. They live amongst us. They grow in silence, in group chats and communities online. Getting away with all their tiny little acts of perversion. Until they get the confidence (backed by others like them) to commit such heinous condemnable acts.

The legal/ justice system will have to bring justice to this, we gotta keep pushing. They should be forced into taking a decision. Wish we just had enough international presence to put India's legal system in focus, so that they'd do something to save face

everyone who supports a rapist or is a rapist himself is a threat to women. these ppl are sick in the head. you won't believe me when i say this but they don't even respect our goddesses and create their own communities on reddit where they masterbate to their images or abuse many girls....this is their way of showing how much they disrespect us...the way guys talk about women is traumatizing

this just makes me more sick. abhi bhi ghamand hai apne gender pe??? im asking all the men here who are still quiet

Dancing Saraswati Hoysaleswara temple, Halebidu, Karnataka

Halebid – also referred to as Halebidu, Dwarasamudra, Dorasamudra – was a major city prior to the 14th-century in Hoysala kingdom.It is now a small town in south Karnataka. The temple belongs to the Shaivism tradition of Hinduism.

Like major historic Hindu temple complexes on the Indian subcontinent, this temple reverentially includes legends and ideas of Vaishnavism and Shaktism traditions of Hinduism. It was built in the first half of 12th century. During the early 14th century, Halebidu temple site along with others were sacked, looted and much artwork was damaged (particularly nose/face, limbs, sexual organs) by Muslim invaders from northern India (Khilji dynasty and Tughlaq dynasty of Delhi Sultanate). The relief panels present legends from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata Purana and secular fables found in Sanskrit texts of Hinduism. Vedic deities such as Agni, Indra and Surya, various avatars of Vishnu, the Hindu goddesses such as Saraswati, Lakshmi avatars, Durga, Kali among others are presented.

The carving is three dimensional where the deep reliefs often emerge as statues with depth. Panels are continuous, with one perspective showing one part of the legend, a perpendicular perspective of the same column or wall or corner showing another part of the same legend. The carving material was soapstone.

Above: Sarasvati is typically shown seated and holding a musical instrument. She is, however, the goddess of knowledge and all arts in Hinduism. The reliefs at Hoysalesvara temple show her in many panel, some where she holds a musical instrument. Three panels show her dancing, in a classical Indian dance posture (all are damaged panels, two of these panels is better preserved, the third is badly damaged). In this better preserved panel, she has eight hands and she holds a pen, a palm leaf manuscript, tools of other arts as she dances.

India did it again. Their cowardice is out of this world. Targeting a mosque? That too in the dead of night? Going the Israel route I see. Like master like pet ig.

The last line 👏🏼

This is Pakistani senator Palwasha Mohammad Zai Khan from Bhutto's PPP. She is saying that Pakistan will invade India, destroy Ram Mandir and lay down the bricks of Babri Mosque (this building was never holy to muslims as it is not a mosque associated with any of the prophets) and make Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir, who held a speech stating how Muslims and Hindus are two different nations, right before the Pahalgam terror attack, do the first "prayer" call.

They want to destroy Ayodhya AGAIN. They've again and again shown clear aggression towards us Hindus. Yet you see way too many people talking as if pakistan is the victim. No way hell they get to dehumanise us and not expect a response. If pakistan should try this, I will support anything that breaks geneva conventions when it comes to it.

other Indian states also have catchy phrases for themselves such as "Kerala, gods own country", "Madhya Pradesh, heart of hindustan", "Uttarakhand, land of gods",

literally every other state has areas described as heaven on earth. The elephant in the room is that Kashmiris think they're racially superior for there's an erroneous notion that kashmiris have lighter skin than the rest of Indians, and that they're cleaner (no, kashmiris civic sense is awful, the central government just pumps shit ton of money for their infra)

So the elephant in the room, as we speak, is racial superiority of Kashmiris. Even in arguments, they always love to claim that their ancestors were "pure Brahmins" or "aryans", repeating 19th century European eugenicists racial propaganda. In reality, an impoverished dark skin priest from Kerala (shrautin /agnihotra) is a real Brahmin and not these "Butt, Dar, Mattoos". Surnames are easy to steal which a lot of subcon converts do to "gain legitimacy among converts (or reverts as they love to claim)". Which goes back to racism and racial superiority. Notice how they're dragging West Africans too (they don't do that to East Africa because they perceive east africa as islamic and therefore their ummah perhaps)

Pakistani agitprop accounts are posting random clips of light skin individuals as a part of their longstanding campaign to claim that Indians are dark brown, which connotes to ugly and lesser (in their minds), whereas Pakistanis are light skin, "real aryans" and have closer proximity to MENA and Europeans. Do not come to me with verses from quran claiming that the barbarian prophet "forbade racism" (biggest cock and bull propaganda, along with islam being feminist) when Persians were derogatorily called "Ajam" and "abeed" has an inherent anti-black racist connotation.

The "right to self-determination" -crowd cannot discuss about these things because either they're scared to speak about the truth (they fear that they get ostracised by their peers) or they're just so so brainwashed that they no longer can reason. 

already pakistan and its terrorist supporters have tried to mediaplay themselves as the victims of india when time and time again pakistani homegrown terrorists have attacked indians and hindus particularly. they show up in crowds of thousands for funerals of terrorists. their own celebrities are pushing terrorist propaganda on social media and threatening to shoot any indian.

what it comes down to is an innate hatred of hindus, the same hatred that fueled pahalgam. that is why pakistani armed forces once again killed innocent indians in J&K today - they don't give a fuck about kashmiris they just want their land and power to grow more terrorists. the same country that gave osama bin laden a home denies 24x7 that they do not harbor any terrorists when multiple sources including UN and USA have identified hundreds. the mumbai attack perpetrators still roam freely in pakistan. balochistan everyday is fighting back against them. they have killed hundreds of afghani children and women. they have wiped out sikh and hindu minorities from pakistani controlled lands. anyone who supports their cowardice and fuels islamic rhetoric against hindus and india is disgusting. they are not the victims but the perpetrators of violence.
