Revenge is best served cold.

Posted on by veeskitchen

The Pulwama terror attack by Pakistan was avenged by India with Balakot. Over 300 Pakistan army men vapourized into thin air literally that left Pakistanis licking their wounds in private. Pindrop silence from across the border. That is how revenge must be served that the enemy must not even be able to bare the wounds to the world out of shame.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Balakot_airstrike

Intelligent men fight and conquer in unconventional ways. DON’T EVEN RESPOND TO NONSENSE. WHATEVER IT IS, IN WHATEVER FORM YOU ENCOUNTER IT. DON’T ACKNOWLEDGE NONSENSE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Knowing our PM Shri Narendra Modiji, there can be no doubts about his plans. Tap turned off for Pakistan, with not a single drop of river water going to Pakistan with the Indus Water Treaty nulled. Who can question India. Try. As Pakistan was approved of IMF grant of 1.3$ billion, India sacked the representative to IMF Dr K V Subramaniam, for failing to serve in national interest. India will leave no stone unturned to make sure that Pakistan stands isolated in the global arena, and does not receive aid from world organizations that will be misused for terror network in future. That is what history has shown us. From 1947, this is the shameful 25th time that Pakistan has gone with the begging bowl to IMF.

Pahalgam will be avenged, no two opinions on that. The venue and time of action will be decided by INDIA. India has, for the first step, dealt blows under the belt for Pakistan without having to fire a shot in the air. That must be hitting Pakistan hard already. Turkey and China will soon abandon Pakistan. Foolish of the two to get embroiled in something that does not concern them. China will lose a big market that they won’t risk. Turkey must remember that the Hindu India of the 21st century is not what the Ottomans came to centuries back.

Is the Indian strike imminent. May be. We can expect a surgical strike like Balakot. Why is it necessary: purely as a deterrent. This time it could knock the winds out of the sails for Pakistan for a while.

This comment from a You tube video made me pause: Pakistan is not our problem. India’s real problem is the mini Pakistan we have INSIDE INDIA. That hit the bull’s eye. The cancer from within must be routed out before the rot consumes us Bharatiyas.

The War Rhetoric.

Posted on by veeskitchen

In between India-Pakistan news debate, Arnab Goswami paused to announce, how the Republic tv is seeing 25 times the regular viewership and how his tv show bet all other channels in TRP ratings this week. Really. So is this truly patriotism/nationalism or is it all about raking in the moolah. Making hay while the sun shines? Meanwhile his channel along with Hindustan Times, Times now, India today tv are done with all the possible India hits in Pakistan including the hideout of the dreaded HS in Lahore with Google map. Nothing left to viewers’ imagination. Detailed hit(wish)list from Sindh to Punjab and POK, the navy preparedness, the airforce strategy everything already discussed by Indian media for the (impending?) attacks. This is in spite of repeated Indian government warnings to the media not to publicize war strategies or give updates on troop movements. HT and Republic tv are vying with each other to lay bare any secret of the Indian defence that is not already in the public domain. Common sense is thrown to the winds. Even if a limited scale war is inevitable, we can still avoid talking about it day in and day out. At the end of the day, we want peace of mind and don’t want this to be playing in our mind during wakeful and sleep hours. This Arnab talks too much. Just because he wants war, that does that make him more patriotic than those of us who don’t want one. Even during this hungama, ARNAB GOSWAMI IS MINTING MILLIONS that is the point. He is not doing it without gain. The big mouth is wagging for a purpose: he is onto a goldmine called possible Indo-Pak conflict. He has to keep talking so that his coffers will be jingling 24 hours the next few weeks. Opportunities like these are hard to come by. Rest of us are weary of this war rhetoric because we are practical and we don’t stand to gain anything out of a conflict of this nature like Arnab is going to. He is going to make a killing in case the conflict materializes. While the rest of us are going to LOSE, LOSE, LOSE. Let this sink into his mind. If it has to happen, it will happen. Its not in our hands. Leave it to Hinglaj Mata. Even nations have destiny. I don’t wish the war away. I don’t want it either. I am merely a believer in Karma and Dharma and I believe even nations have Karma. Finally this too shall pass.

Where is responsible journalism. Across the border you have intellectual dishonesty parading as national newspapers. Within the country we have media going jingoistic over war, wishing for it, begging for it.

We have wise men in charge, to who we have entrusted the safety and security of our dear nation. Let them do what is deemed fit. Don’t glorify war. If at all it has to happen, still feel bad about it. That is what human beings must be doing.

Leave Pakistan to Pakistan.

Posted on by veeskitchen

So Pakistan has finally admitted to terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir. What is new. We need no proof. This is the handiwork of a very seasoned terror group. Pakistan is not just India’s headache but the world’s cancer. Every single terror attack in Europe or America or India can be traced back to Pakistan. That is their beauty. Pakistan is a synthetically created nation on the basis of religion. Its not that they are this after 75 years since independence from the British. It is just that they are chemically made like this – that population of the region with their ‘culture.’ Nearly every invader in history had had a party with their women – from Arabs to Persians and Turks and Mongols and Afghans. Truly a nation totally torn up from the insides. To me, this is the reason why Af-Pak is like this. They are sick. Made sick by history. Sometimes you feel bad for them, for the way they have turned out. NEGATIVE CHARACTER. Pahalgam had to happen. That is what keeps them ticking. That is their psychology. That is how Pakistan survives. This is what keeps them as a nation.

India in response annulled the Indus Water Treaty and already some 80% water to Pakistan (as per Republic tv) is stopped. Pakistan is in crisis and we all know that. As usual our Arnab Goswami is having the time of his life with his 24 hour news and interviews with Pakistanis who he seldom allows to speak. Why invite them and then start the shouting match. How do the guests even consent to have debate with him beats me. At one point, Arnab shouted, ‘you are gadha, you are all gadha’ and the Pakistanis could not even open their mouth in protest. So Indian attack on Pakistan is imminent. If it has to happen, let it happen. Arnab, do you know how cruel and sadistic it is to daily keep rubbing salt in someone’s wound. Good and bad are everywhere. Even among Pakistanis, there could be many who don’t agree with their army or don’t support terrorism. Their masses are highly illiterate and are misled. Their daily life itself is a struggle for survival. Even to our enemies and worst adversaries, we can be kind and decent instead of stamping on their dignity so heartlessly. War mongering is even worse. We Indians can wish for an all out war as reflex. That is natural. But we cannot be parroting it day in and day out. Even our government may shelve their plans who knows. Its highly irresponsible to sensationalize the war situation and whip such a frenzy into the minds of the public. See one thing we can be clear about: DHARMA DOES NOT NEED A CRUSADE. If it has to survive, it WILL survive against all odds. If it has to go extinct, you can do nothing about it. And sometimes, even extinction can be good and honourable exit than mass-reproduce like broiler chicken or the milch cattle to be culled without a second thought. Any community that is going to dominate earth in the last leg of the planet’s life will eventually suffer that miserable fate which is unavoidable. As a strong believer in Dharma, I believe that nature will balance itself and dharma will restore the equilibrium by itself.

If government wants action, let them act. Let us not urge or put pressure on our government to take drastic action against anyone. Even if we are justified in avenging Pakistan, we still have to remember our own soldiers, the armed forces who are going to go into this action in full knowledge that they may return home in coffins. What about their families. Its not just about Pakistan. Its about our own armed forces. If our government still wants to teach Pakistan a lesson, then let them take their own time. Imagine the mental torture innocent family people in Pakistan have to face everyday listening to someone like Arnab. They know their nation’s destiny without us Indians rubbing the fact into them. Even before Pahalgam, their economy started nosediving. Their power and water problems, we in India are aware of.

India is a blessed country with her bountiful rainfall, fertile soil, native culture and abundance in about everything. Very few countries on earth are as blessed as we are even if the world calls us a third world country. Let Pakistan be Pakistan, let us be us. I too wanted to avenge Pakistan for one or two days. Then I cooled down. None of my friends who have booked their Kashmir tours are going to cancel their holidays. Already tourists are swarming the same terror scene at Pahalgam. After my rage subsided, I found myself forgiving even the worst violent bloody terrorists, because that is what my heart is capable of.

As for Americans asking India to show restraint, I am asking this question: So if America bleeds it is blood but if Hindu India bleeds, is it tomato ketchup for you guys? You could have shown some restraint in Afghanistan. You could have shown restraint in Vietnam to Iraq to Libya to wherever. India is the only Hindu culture in the world. We have every right to defend ourselves against terrorists.

Having said that, entire country called Pakistan is NEGATIVE ENERGY, nothing more. Not even contemplating them is in our own best interests. Blackness or black entities always look for the light. Pakistan’s obsession with India is for this reason. Forever condemned to live under India’s shadows, not able to write history textbooks without mentioning India, imagine their desperation. Darkness tries to gain foothold in the light which is universal truth. Pakistan is retro and decades behind India. India for all her third world status is already the 4th largest economy in the world soon to become the third. In 20-30 years, Indian economy is expected to surpass the US’s. We are on the right path. Let us focus ahead instead of on detractors like Pakistan. Pakistan will implode from within and needs no help from India on this one.

There is simply no contest between India and Pakistan because we are not on level playing grounds. Pakistan does not even exist for most of us, especially down south. NOBODY CARES. In the middle east, Pakistanis mean taxi drivers and truck drivers and camel drivers. That is their level. Even for comparing ourselves with others, they must match us somewhere. Pakistan belongs with Afghanistan, Bangladesh etc. Much ado about nothing. Still if my government wants to squish them, so be it. I won’t enjoy that but I will know that Dharma is restoring balance, that’s all. For me, nothing happens without the will of God. She, Mother Goddess, the Supreme Mother scripts the story. Its all Maya. And if She wants Pakistan done to dust sooner or later, no force on earth can stop it. See where She has led them from 1947 onward. Hinglaj Mata Ki Jai! Jai Mata ji!

Karma Calling: China

Posted on by veeskitchen

During Covid, I did wait for China to apologize to the world at large for the damage the Wuhan virus did to every single nation on earth, from loss of precious human lives to the national economies coming to a complete standstill. That is what a nation with a CONSCIOUSNESS would have done. How many billion, trillion dollar worth of productivity was lost because of the virus that emanated from China. The kind of tragedy that we witnessed we cannot forget for a lifetime. I was in India with my husband caught up in middle east. We did not see each other for over one year. How many families got divided in this period. People went in clusters, in bunches like a bunch of grapes. In Chennai alone how many even medicos lost their lives. Bodies were given mass cremation. In modern world history, after the second world war, the covid must be the greatest pandemic/global event to register this kind of monumental loss in every sphere. Yet there was not one word of regret from China in the media. Theirs is an affluent economy. But how did they compensate the weaker vulnerable nations that got afflicted worse. The smaller nations were totally crushed. Their economic machinery ground to a complete halt overnight. The poorest who lost their daily bread suffered the most. No society was spared. But did the Chinese PM even once get on to the world stage to a single ‘sorry.’ I am not sure whether I am the only one to nurture such a sentiment.

Over the decades, China has completely destroyed many many economies especially the smaller, poorer, vulnerable ones, plying them with their cheap plastics. The disposable culture is now prevalent in the world thanks to mass chinese productions. Local factories and cottage industries shut shop wherever the chinese goods entered the market. Jobs were lost in millions. China even bombarded India with cheap plastic Lord Ganeshas and took over our Diwali with their fancy fireworks. Indian industry suffered all around inspite of Indian government putting in place a protection policy to safeguard the economy from the relentless Chinese invasion. One can imagine what could have happened to vulnerable small nations with fragile economy. SOLD OUT TO CHINA virtually with surrendering their natural resources such as harbours/ports, precious minerals and metals and mines, airspace, water, etc., etc. Many African and Asian countries continue to be neck deep in debt to China. Modern day Shylock. Just ask the Sri Lankans. Or even the Pakistanis who are quietly applying balm to their economic wounds from the chinese stabbings.

In the social media, the chinese fought a shadow war with us Indians everyday almost, ridiculing us for our sluggish growth. Through all these years, it looks like the chinese were focused on LIVING FOR AMERICA AND WORKING FOR AMERICA, not for themselves really. Whereas we have kind of self-sufficient economy in India. We can do without exports completely if it comes to that. Still we can survive. China had to erase Tiananmen square from the public memory. They have generations now who know nothing about the historic event. This is how China functions. India is a time tested democracy of 1.4 billion plus and counting. Just let China hold her first democratic elections and see what happens. You will have 100 pieces of China overnight. Already the joblessness must be stirring the masses into restlessness. What kind of skill is theirs? Repetitive job that can get the population nowhere if laid off.

India is the spiritual capital of the world. The kind of materialism you see in US and China, India will NOT even aspire of. Our ways and goals are different.

Although I was surprised by the chinese’ sense of humour when they flooded the social media with their MAGA memes, I must admit that what they said therein may also be ironically true. But not something that cannot be changed. Americans became fat and lazy probably because of losing their work culture to China. They can change but that can take time. Its still the best to happen to America, although they could have enforced the tariffs by phases. America is world’s No.1 economy and therefore the world expects the US to be a little more responsible. Implementation of tariffs could have been in stages and in dollops gradually increasing over years. Sudden deathly blow of very high tariffs and the ego war between world leaders seem to crush the weaker nations with even the mighty China not spared, as we can see. I still think about the chinese factory workers. What do the innocent middle class folks have to do with all this powerplay?

Then there is the question of India becoming dumping grounds for the tonnes of goods meant for export to US, piling in chinese ports. Modi governments needs to be extra vigilant and keep away the chinese manufacturers trying to gain a foothold into India through backdoor diplomacy. Next to America, only India can absorb that volume of useless cheap chinese production. Give them a toe hold – and then down the shutters on Indian industry for good.

Can status quo be restored? Precious trust has been lost between America and China. China has learnt a valuable lesson from the US. Once bitten, twice shy. They will have to reprogram their economy completely after this unforeseen disaster. The next time may they build a viable economy that is self-focused.

How the chinese mocked our PM Modi for flying to the US to meet president Trump without an invite. Even I was kind of irked when I saw my PM swallow his pride in front of the whole world. It hurt us deeply when social media made us a laughing stock. Now we get it that, its more important to take care of OURSELVES, our masses and our average factory workers and peasants and valuable exporters than boosting our national ego. Vishwaguru for a reason! As PM Modi was greeted and escorted by Saudi airforce planes as his aircraft reached their airspace this evening, and as the US VP Vance spoke in the business forum in Jaipur at the same time, after months of chaos, finally we can see some clarity emerge. Modi and Jaishankar are an awesome team. This is what we call Chanakya Tantra. Rare wisdom. Its prudent to choose our battles – what to fight and what not to fight. We can change any situation into ‘win-win.’

Chanakya in Artha Shastra said, before the birth of Christ, that we have to use the political tools of Sama, Dhana, Bedha, Dhanda when it comes to diplomacy. Same is making a treaty or friendly pact with the aggressor. Dhana is giving up something for the mutual benefit. Bedha is using a discriminatory policy to achieve a result. The last resort is to punish or wage a war. Hindus avoid the last option always.

What about China. Useless war inflicted on hapless unprepared India in 1961 with Indian territory illegally occupied by China even today. India was taken by surprise because this came just months after the Mao’s visit to India. Even my granny used to say that, when Nehru presented him with a gold finger ring with India map, he said, ‘now India is in my hands.’ Tell me now China, what is betrayal of trust? China with India in 1961 or America with China in 2025? India secured UN security council seat for China but it is China that now prevents us from getting in there. The China occupation of dharmic country Tibet is history. China joined hands with Pakistan arming their terrorists to teeth to fight a proxy war with us in our borders. Nonstop headache is China. President Trump may consider this: having China as your next door neighbour. That is what India is suffering from. Imagine having China and Pakistan for neighbour. You are lucky to have Mexico and Canada as neighbours. Please be kind to them! And now we have this same China begging India to become their ally , issuing 85,000 visas to Indian tourists to go shopping in Beijing. (Given a chance, I may hahaha. What to do, our husbands are kanjoos.)

China will have to do a lot of restructuring and reorganizing from the insides. My heart still goes out to their masses. Lives ruined. But world just has had a covid. I am sure that experience can help China overcome this crisis. Building skyscrapers and highways that are not needed is not essentially growth. Sometimes slow and steady growth can be healthy in the long run. It can make you less dependent on others. But China must have an enormous surplus. They must be able to come out of this situation. Barring exports, China is doing great in other sectors. America is only the icing on the cake. Extra something.

A nation’s wealth lies in their culture and heritage. Even if the democrats may return to power tomorrow after Trump, neither China nor America are going to like to be in this spot ever again in future. America will start becoming an industrial nation once again with local productions, and China may start slowing down and build an economy (based on local consumption and demand mostly) (they already have that and are self sustaining). America may take its own sweet time but I got the feeling there that they are serious this time. They want their jobs back. This is why India is a nation of idlis and samosas and biriyanis and Ganga aarti and temples and satsangs and gurus and ashrams first. This is enough. What we have is enough. We are happy. We don’t have to become the next China. I am a Hindu housewife who never worked in an office from my 27th year. I enjoy life and I spend 2-3 hours everyday in puja/meditation. Can you imagine a chinese woman doing that. This is how and why are different. Invite the chinese to visit the hundreds of thousands of temples throughout the length and breadth of India where masses spend hours. That shall show them how India is growing holistically than materialistically.

What is this race for? Who wants to reach the Mars first? I was reading this from someone who is a local who stated that in last 17 years, he managed a mantra japa chanting to a Hindu deity to the tune of 51 crores. Of course he is an astral traveler. India has thousands of yogis that way who casually travel out of their bodies to the multiverse. You are comparing this punya Hindu bhoomi to mechanical robotic China that has no soul? Well, quantum physics… Hindu Spirituality begins where quantum physics ENDS. Period.

Finally my concern is about the Outlet Malls in American cities that are my favourite shopping places! I don’t shop much -not easy to shop under the unwavering gaze of an Indian husband who counts every penny! Still I manage to do a little every year and I love their Outlet Malls the most for their stunning range and brands and best prices. Now I am wondering whether there will any outlet Mall left surviving at all in the US in future.

Having said that, equations can change overnight. But something invaluable between China and the US seems to have been broken. Will China trust America ever again. Can America survive without China at all?

DEAR CHINA. DEAL WITH AMERICA DIRECTLY. LEAVE US INDIANS OUT OF THIS MADNESS. PLEASE KEEP YOUR FACTORY GOODS AND WE DON’T WANT THEM IN INDIA. DO NOT DUMP CHEAP CHINESE MAKE IN INDIAN MARKETS. THANK YOU.

Will Bhutan merge with India.

Posted on by veeskitchen

This Himalayan kingdom is not carbon neutral but is actually carbon negative. Welcome to Bhutan.

Bhutan is India friendly because we have shared culture. While India is the cradle of both Hindu civilization, the only unbroken culture of over 10000 years, and also Buddhism, Bhutan is a Buddhist country. Bhutan relies on India for defence especially in the light of Tibet occupied by the Chinese. Why should Dalai Lama flee to India when there were so many developed first world nations where he must have been welcome with red carpet. Its not always about material wealth, the west must understand this. The common ancestry of the Indian subcontinent keeps these nations united like a single umbilical cord connecting these communities. Bound by blood and trust, can America understand this?

We in India respect Bhutan’s independence. India will always be there for this landlocked nation on earth, that is a paradise of peace. This is how humanity must live. NOBODY WANTS YOUR FAST CARS AND YACHTS AND HOLIDAYS AND BLOODY CONSUMERISM! Bhutanese practise dharma and their entire lives may be steeped in Dharma. Dharmic way of life means living life the right way with principles in pursuit of one’s spiritual goals. We don’t want to force Bhutan’s merger with India. But if they want it on their own accord, India may respect their wishes. Same holds true for Nepal, another Himalayan kingdom, basically Hindu. Nepal fell under the false charms of the Chinese and became communist. But Nepal could be around the bend now after that lapse. Nepal used to be the only Hindu country in the entire world as even India is a secular nation, not YET constitutionally Hindu.

Christian missionary mafia from the US enter Nepal under the garb of tourism and convert the rural Nepalese and those who are poor, weak and vulnerable. Nepal is only now waking up to this ugly truth. Bhutan, Nepal, India are nations where NATIVES live and rule, not occupier-settlers.

Bhutan does not recognize most world nations especially the invaders and occupiers. This is not because they are opposed to anyone. It is because they are not only believers in Dharma but also practitioners of Dharma in true spirit. Bhutan recognizes the old world order and mostly don’t recognize the new nations that came into existence in recent world history. To hell with the material pursuits of the west. Bhutan wants none of that! Its not surprising that Bhutan does not even recognize the US, UK, France, China, Russia etc. Bhutanese are happiest and most peaceful buddhists on earth. They don’t NEED the west. In short, CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM are NOT recognized by Bhutan, something India must be following! Bhutan is spot on on recognizing wherefrom the problems of the world stem from: the greed of the Abrahamics with their acquisitions and conquests of others’ possessions and wealth. World is in such a chaos because of the Abrahamics. The courage to underscore the real neck in the pain for the world! Bhutan merits a standing ovation for that alone!

India holds responsibility over Bhutan. Bhutan permits only limited tourists per year and that applies to Indians too. Even if in future the merger of Bhutan can happen with India, we in India would want their visa rationing to apply to India as well. No Indian citizen must be permitted to move to Bhutan while Bhutanese can receive free education at all levels in India. Bhutanese can freely work in India. Bhutanese can be allowed to invest in real estate, industry and business in India. However we in India don’t seek reciprocal rights in Bhutan. Bhutan is our responsibility. Yet, seeing Bhutan as an independent nation will make us happiest.

Long live dear Bhutan! Love and respects from India! Eschewing the Abrahamic west and most of Middle east and their material wealth lacking humanity is your formula for peace! Stay happy and blessed always.

I was watching You Tube videos where I found funnily comments bashing India and Indians for our backwardness comparing us to China and the US. The truth is WE DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE CHINA OR THE US. India is not a developing nation but a redeveloping economy after we were run over by muslim and christian thieving occupiers and marauders for 1500 years straight. We stood the onslaught and here we are. We Hindus spend hours every day in our spiritual pursuits that you cannot even dream of the chinese or the americans. We are aware how differently we are made compared to them. When we have no complaints, why should the west bother?

Bhutan or India or Nepal are not 300 years old like America. Not here without a reason for minimum 10000 years as the only continuous unbroken civilization of the world – when the Egyptian, Sumerian, Mayan, Greek everything perished. World did not come into existence with Christ or the prophet. Only the ambitious, the materialistic youth from India want to emigrate to greener pastures, not everyone. And this migrating young people percentage is very slim – in decimals.

Imagine Bhutan being there from time immemorial but REFUSING TO LEAVE CARBON FOOTPRINT ON EARTH. This is what is civilized culture not mindless consumerism and highways and skyscrapers and luxury sedans. Good for Bhutan that America put them in the travel ban list! I couldn’t stop laughing! Bhutan does not even recognize the legality of the USA and here they are instituting a ban on Bhutan! Funny. But seriously it is hometruth if you let that sink in dear America. Living the right way is DHARMA whether you see it or not. Please let not even the shadow of the west fall on this beautiful peaceful paradise called Bhutan. Let them be. God bless Bhutan!

Are the grandkids of Tamil Nadu CM attending Tamil schools.

Posted on by veeskitchen

What is the meaning of the name ‘Udayanidhi.’ It is pakka Sanskrit word. Who gave him the name? Karunanidhi and Stalin in their fullest senses. So why not change the name to a Tamil one.

Waiting for Tamil Nadu CM to enrol all his family kids in corporation run Tamil schools. Why Hindi, not even English in there beyond a bare minimum.

It is also time for the Tamil Nadu CM to publicly embrace Christianity or Islam. Leave wife Durga alone as he always saves her saying its her private matter. Lets come to the question of Stalin and Udayanidhi. When are these 2 guys converting in front of the national media. Also convert your (il)legal half sister Kanimozhi with you. By the way sister, why don’t you erase the bindi from your forehead, for its like a siren announcing your Hindu roots.

The nerve the guys have to replace the hindi denomination for rupee with Tamil initials. Its ILLEGAL. It can invite court action.

Stalin is to be here for 5 years maximum.. India will go on to eternity. Hindu Dharma is eternal. This is pest at the best. Just ignore him, rest of India, and move on. On behalf of the entire global Tamil population, I seek your apology for this NONSENSE and nuisance.

Was watching this adaptation of ‘Panchayat’ in Prime in Tamil from original Hindi. There was this cruel joke: the secretary of the panchayat office goes to TASMAC to get himself a liquor bottle. The shopman asks him whether he is IT staff. He says he works for government. So the salesman quips, ‘so you are government staff like me?!’ How is this. Shame of Tamil Nadu! The nerve these guys have to give lecture or represent us Tamils. Stalin or Udayanidhi DON’T REPRESENT ENTIRE TAMIL NADU OR TAMIL POPULATION. We are waiting for the day this family will be done with completely in Tamil Nadu.

We Tamils disown Stalin, Udayanidhi, Maran and DMK totally. Kindly excuse their excesses and stupidity dear India.

Swastika of the Hindus: most misused religious symbol in the world.

Posted on by veeskitchen

A copy-paste job here from Google:

The Nazi use of the swastika stems from the work of 19th Century German scholars translating old Indian texts, who noticed similarities between their own language and Sanskrit. They concluded that Indians and Germans must have had a shared ancestry and imagined a race of white god-like warriors they called Aryans…

*****************************************

The German airlines is called Lufthansa. ‘Hansa’ in ancient Hindu language Sanskrit means ‘swan.’ ‘Luft’ means air. The Hindu-German connection is very intriguing. In fact in the Heidelberg university in Germany, there is a full fledged Sanskrit department devoted to research. North Indians are of Aryan stock and the south Indians are Dravidians.

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29644591#:~:text=The%20Nazi%20use%20of%20the,like%20warriors%20they%20called%20Aryans.

But its very unfortunate that the sacred Hindu symbol Swastika got misused by Hitler for genocide purposes. Now swastika is misrecognized as symbol of hatred around the world. Because of this, people mistake us passive Hindus for fascists. Originally from ancient Hindu culture also used by Buddhists, the symbol captivated the west who started using it more freely in the 20th century.

*********************

Ironically, the two inverted triangles over one another which is a Jewish holy symbol is also a very ancient Hindu sacred symbol. In fact its the basis of much advanced Sri Yantra, a set of 9 (5 and 4) triangles overlapping each other representing Shiva and Shakthi.

the Sri Yantra
Om
some sacred hindu symbols
swastika, sacred hindu symbol
swastika with Hindu temple in background

The Swastika is symbol of lucky charm for Hindus even today. ‘Swasth’ in sanskrit means wellness, goodness. The swastika is a very sacred, holy symbol to us that we adorn our homes and temples with. It is important to spread awareness about Swastika so that the lost glory of the swastika is restored.

Sometimes history can belie.

The history of Delhi could be heartwrenching. Invasion after Islamic invasion for centuries beginning with 7th century CE from Sindh left the city in ruins. May be the city was cursed. Indhraprastha as Delhi was called in Mahabharat times, was throne of contention for which the Mahabharat battle was fought. One of the worst and bloodiest invasions of Delhi was that of Timur from Samarkand, today’s Uzbekistan. Its said that after the ransacking of Delhi, jackals and vultures filled the city streets and skies for years. It took almost a whole century for one of the oldest capital cities of the world to limp back to normalcy. Its not just Delhi. Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and other states of India too bore the brunt of brutal attacks of invasions lasting many centuries before the British took over. Hindu temples held tonnes of gold and diamond jewelry that became reason for attacks. Hindu society was also already civilized that rendered the community weaker compared to the untamed barbarity of the invaders. Mohammad of Ghazni attacked Somnath for a record 17 times and succeeded only on the last, plundering the temple wealth and leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. For centuries Bharat/India was the richest country in the world. Columbus set out to discover India, not America which is why the natives even today are referred to as Indians, who he thought they were.

**********************************************

I have done a copy & paste job here from Google.This is on Ghazni Mohammad who ransacked Somnath. This is to show what invasions meant for nations through the times we have lived through. Indian history especially could be very traumatic. I would prefer the word, HINDU HISTORY.

“So to plunder the wealth of India he made very first attack in 1001. He attacked India 17 times on India. He made his 16th attack on the Somnath temple in 1025 just to plunder the gold. Mahmud Ghaznavi was the king of Ghazni who ruled from 971 to 1030 AD.

Forgotten Chandela Rajput King Vidhyadhara and the story of how he stopped Ghazni’s advance in India. When we talk about the expeditions of Mahmud Ghazni ,we seem to only give importance to the fact that he invaded India 17 times and plundered the temples, their huge wealth and took slaves through these barbaric raids. “

Its funny when they talk about Timur attacking the Delhi Sultanate, the Tuglaqs are presented as benevolent rulers of Delhi. In truth, all of them were invaders in whose times Hindu blood flowed like river with their wealth stolen, and their women taken over. Timur was most extreme of all.

Delhi Devastated: How Timur Crushed India’s Capital

So it was not with an open mind at all that I toured Uzbek. Coming face to face with Amir Timur’s tomb was not easy for me. In the complex is a small circular stone tank which Timur reportedly filled with pomegranate juice. His soldiers were asked to drink from it to get used to the colour of blood. On return from his battles, he once again filled the tub with the juice and asked his soldiers to drink the juice again. The difference in levels of juice told him how much was casualty on his side.

Finally this man too lay in his grave which was also supposedly desecrated by Nadir Shah of Iran, who for some reason decided to return the remains to the original site. This country Uzbek is full of mausoleums. Turkey was full of galleries with instruments of torture. I have already blogged about how I found the Sambaji (of Shivaji fame) museum in Tanjore. The Marathas spread upto the Kaveri/Cauvery Delta. The museum of the Hindu emperor was in contrast holding exhibits of small machines used in granaries/fields in the 16th century, copper and brass utensils of those times, measuring units, barn storages, jewels and gems, art, creativity – in general anything and everything relating to a rich peasant life – the way India was.

So imagine a leading Bollywood actor naming his son ‘Timur.’ You have to be a sadist to do that, a psycho. But given his faith, its no wonder. This place Tashkent is a hit with Indian tourists ironically today. Its been so for a while. In the 60s, Raj Kapoor made India famous in Uzbek with his ‘Avaaraa.’ I had the pleasure of applause of Uzbek locals, singing ‘mera juta hai japani’ in a local train from Tashkent to Samarkand recently. Centuries later what we have here may be two friendly nations whose populations love and respect each other. There is an enormous goodwill for India in present times in Uzbek. I forgave Timur for Uzbeks of today who cannot and must not be held responsible for his bloody deeds over nearly a 1000 years back. Someone walked upto me in the street asking if I was an Indian. I said ‘yes.’ Selfie followed with a big smile. I can see the impact of India on this new nation of 35 years, that was born after the Soviet revolution of 1989. It retains memories from the Russian days. We dined at a restaurant named after Raj Kapoor whose popularity was equally shared by Mithun Chakraborty. Locals today seem to have no connection with the barbarity of Timur’s army. In fact the converse is true: Modern day Uzbeks come across as most non-controversial and peace loving people.

Indian economy despite centuries of having nurtured a broken back, is resurgent and buoyant today. Hindu Dharma is seeing a revival as well. Hindus/India lived a nightmare from 7th century CE to 1947 until we won our independence from the British. You are looking at a nation whose Hindu genocide shall never make it to the history text books of the world. What a comeback for India/Bharat. Kudos to fellow Hindus. Even the Indian christians and muslims are Hindu by culture.

As for Timur, one can imagine what a wasteland his country must have been in those bygone eras. Plunder and looting meant survival and self-defence, especially given the powerful Mongols next door. Timur’s great great great grandson was Babur who established the Mughal empire in India which was equally ruthless and bloody even if some Mughals patronized art and literature. Ayodhya recently witnessed the resurrection of Ram Janam Bhoomi mandir that was desecrated and razed by Babur. Aurangzeb killed at least two Sikh Gurus burning one alive at stake. Today the irony is that the Sikhs in Canada are collaborating with Pakistanis against India. India today enjoys good diplomatic relations with most of our past conquerers including the Afghans and Uzbeks. Its the converted Pakistan that was largely Hindu that is pain in the neck for India. India is also quietly prosperous and more progressive and advanced today than the nations that conquered us. It looks like none of the looted wealth from India has helped them anyway.

I want to round off this post with a mention about our second prime minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri. Its an open secret that his death in 1965 just before the Tashkent agreement with Pakistan in the capital was not natural. Soviet Union was the peace maker in the aftermath of the Indo-Pak war of 1965. I would like to borrow someone’s words here: who stood to benefit from Shastri’s death. That can give us a clue for the motive. Took a picture with Shastri’s bust in Tashkent. The capital has a street named after him. Somehow its very difficult for me to associate today’s Uzbek with Amir Timur of Samarkand. I wish this peaceful nation Uzbekistan all prosperity despite Timur! They are proud of him naturally for his conquests. It was not easy for me to hide my pain listening to his exploits. Uzbek today is 80% muslim but they are moderate or what we may call modern muslims.

A local told me that his sister had a major open heart surgery at Vedanta, Gurgaon (from the same Delhi devastated by Timur) some 15 years back and is doing well. That is the gift Bharat/India has given back Timur centuries after what he did to Delhi. I am sure Timur then turned in his grave.

1971 Recap

Posted on by veeskitchen

The Indo-Pak war of 1971 resulted in creation of a new nation Bangladesh. India bifurcated Pakistan into two, carving Bangladesh out of East Pakistan. In the Bangladesh war of liberation from Pakistan, over 3 lakh women in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) were raped. Lakhs of men lost their lives.  It was India’s foray into the war that changed the scenario and Pakistan lost the war with their military commander Gen Niazi surrendering to India. A record 93,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered to India on defeat.

Smt. Indira Gandhi was India’s prime minister then who was mocked by Henry Kissinger and Nixon. India cut Pakistan neatly into 2 pieces as America watched. India has still not forgotten 1971 Indo-Pak war in which America was siding with Pakistan and was ready to wage a war against India. It was Russia’s warnings that dissuaded America from attacking India on behalf of Pakistan, where our American brothers later on found a hiding Laden! Since then the world has come a long way. America now knows who is who and India too knows who is who. Things have since cooled down and there is a lot of goodwill today between India and the US. But strangely the equation with the US is of equal strategic importance to India today as with Russia. We live in an age where its in the best interests of India to have the goodwill of every nation on earth and no adversaries. We want peace.

Well, we have this adage that goes like, ‘if you live long enough, you will see even your monumental success turn into abject failure.’ In case of India-Bangladesh relationship, this is what has happened for India. Just see the plight of the Bangladeshi Hindus today. If the world media is going to suppress or bypass the Hindu genocide news, then be ready to live the same brutal reality when it happens to you someday.

Bhagavad Gita is misquoted in Oppenheimer. Well I haven’t yet watched the picture. But in an English fiction (by Ken Follet?) I recall reading about the developments leading to the atom bomb that stopped the World War II.Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were bombed and until this date, there has been no other parallel act of violence and bloody mass murder to this scale in written history. The award goes to America always and the Caucasians to be specific. No other race in the world is capable of this kind of mindless destruction. In fact this was the reason I stopped reading Ken Follet. He kind of justified whatever Americans did and never elaborated the Japanese point of view. The word ‘terrorism’ wasn’t yet invented, lucky for Americans. Lucky for the Germans too is it not? Lucky for South Africans. For neither the holocaust nor apartheid got labeled as terrorism! Lucky for colonists from Europe as well even if they wiped out to extinction numerous aboriginal races in Australia, Latin America, Northern American and Africa. Look who is preaching.

If you read Arthashastra from 3rd century BCE penned by Chanakya which is a standard textbook across the globe and reference book until now on politics, administration, governance and diplomacy, you will learn that Hindus follow(ed) a four fold method when it came to waging war. First of all wars needed to be avoided at all costs. We followed the ‘Sama, Dhana, Bedha, Dhanda’ the four steps that helped in preventing wars between nations. First method was Sama which meant coming to truce with dialogues and understanding. Negotiations may be made to resolve issues. Trade pacts and treaties may be signed. Even marriage alliances may be forged to have peace at any cost, to bring hostilities between two warring nations to an end. This was a widely adopted practice throughout world history including in India. This was why the very religious and pious Hindu Rajput kings from Rajasthan entered into marriage alliances with the Mugals. Jodha Akbar precisely.

When the first method failed, we went to the next step. This was Dhana – and this meant gifting or giving up something to appease your adversary which meant a sacrifice on your part. You would have to sometimes cough up a big price. You do it anyway to maintain peace. It may mean among other things, giving up territory. The smaller princely states may agree to become vassals paying taxes and excise duties to a larger kingdom with dominant king or emperor. This may they do, unwilling to take on powerful adversaries. Indian princely states of Mysore, Trivandram etc., became vassals to the British raj paying a handsome sums to the British periodically. When first two ways failed, the third one came to rescue. Bedha means to differentiate or give differential or even preferential treatment to different parties and tactfully secure peace. Bedha is therefore NO level playing field. This is nothing but the knack of diplomacy. For instance, the ‘divide and rule’ method practised by the British during the British Raj days by having different sets of rules or laws for the Hindus and Muslims to maintain stability can be said to be the effective ‘Bedha’ diplomacy that helped them deal with two volatile and sensitive communities. In some cases, the Bedha can be stretched to playing up two parties against each other for the benefit and peace of the mediator. This is how traditionally hostile nations or arch rivals/adversaries are created in colonies: by pitting friendly communities living together in harmony for centuries, against each other. Erstwhile neighbours become deadly enemies overnight.

The fourth and the last resort would be Dhanda or the punishment of taking up the wand (or arms) to strike a blow: which meant waging war on your adversary. Only when all other channels of diplomacy failed and the demands of the adversaries were unjust, the fourth method was resorted to. So that is how ancient India treated adversaries and waged wars. Which was why Hindu kings lost to the Islamists and the British who were never bred on the kind of ethics or codes of conduct when it came to war, like our far advanced,literate, civilized and progressive societies of those times.

India never annexed foreign territory. Hindu kings were also pioneer ship builders and seafarers. The Hindu Chola Kings reached upto Indonesia (Bali is still Hindu) and even China, with the world’s largest Hindu temple being Angkorwat in Cambodia (which was later converted to Buddhist) but spread Hindu Dharam by peaceful means not by bribe (as Christians do) or by sword (as Islamists do). King Vikramaditya reached upto today’s Saudi. Merchants from south (Tamil Nadu) sailed upto Rome even before the birth of Christ trading goods and merchandise.

In Mahabharatha war that cannot be dated (anywhere from 6000 to 10000 years ago BCE), the Kauravs refuse to give Pandavs even five houses, leave alone five villages or provinces. When all means of negotiations fail, the Mahabharatha war, the greatest war of all times, ensues. Interestingly, an array of supersonic missiles find a mention in the Mahabharatha. Very casual reference to surface to surface, surface to air, air to air missiles with descriptions on speed and distance and accuracy! They are called Astras in Sanskrit. Astrology and Astronomy could have had sanskrit root words for names.

The Pandavs are unable to overcome hesitation because, who they are taking on war for territory, were their own blood, their first cousins. It is at that time Lord Krishna who is the charioteer for Arjuna explains that sometimes, ADHARMA HAS TO BE TAKEN DOWN WITH EQUAL ADHARMA. :Like how a thorn must be pulled out with a thorn. Dharma is the way forward but sometimes, Adharma also must be practised for the sake of establishing Dharma. It is in this context Krishna says that, He himself is death. After Krishna’s ‘upadesh’ Arjun is ready to fight the Mahabharat war and takes up arms to wage war against his cousins. The Pandavs go on to win the Mahabharat war killing all their cousins. But in the process none of the children of the Pandav survive either. So this is the bitter end of a war.

By deliberate misinterpretation of our sacred texts and by out of context quoting, some forces and especially world media want to create a wrong impression on Bhagavad Gita, which is much older than the Bible or Koran. Its exact date of writing is unknown. We believe it to be over 6000 years old – as ancient HINDU DHARMA THAT HAS NO FOUNDER, NO VATICAN OR MECCA, NO BIBLE OR KORAN AND NO FOUNDING DATE but that which continues to be the one and only continuous and unbroken civilization on planet Earth until now.

Are we staring at a third world war? Irresponsible on part of any nation that abets wars. The costs are too high and the collateral damage will have to be borne by the rest of the whole world. Russia has a moral highground in the matter no doubt. Its none of the business either for America or Europe. War mongering is no more small mischief. It can be a big, big irreversible mistake.

Swastika is Hindu symbol. The set of inverted triangles too is a Hindu symbol. All that is now associated with wrong parties.
