Stand up for what is right

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

In the past, BR Ambedkar had observed:

"Indeed, the ideal Hindu must be like a rat living in his own hole, refusing to have any contact with others. There is an utter lack among the Hindus of what the sociologists call ‘consciousness of kind.’ There is no Hindu consciousness of kind. In every Hindu, the consciousness that exists is the consciousness of his caste. That is the reason why the Hindus cannot be said to form a society or a nation.”

The BJP-RSS’s broad-based approach during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement has repudiated Ambedkar’s scintillating thesis, remaking Indian politics and, more crucially, Hindu society.

This heroic mission drew from every part of Hindudom, arranging each Hindu shoulder to shoulder, chanting the same cries, and exalting them all as equal devotees of their Lord Ram.

In this great yajna of a new era, all Hindus were tasked as participants in a sacrifice for the ages.

I don’t think the Indian middle class has suddenly become communal. It has always harboured religious bigotry but it needed a push to throw off its cloak of tolerance and secular views. With its blatant communal bias, the ruling BJP has encouraged the middle class to be itself. Being bigoted is no longer a shame in new India; it is rather cool. #BJP #Modi #RSS

Anyone who compares India with China has at least zero understanding of one of them. India is a hellhole. You have thousand times more freedoms in China than you have in India.

India ranks among the top countries in being stressed. That is what you get when you are irrational and morally relativistic, which lead to an existential crisis, atomized people and no-trust.

Hindu majoritarianism finds its roots in envy a segment of them have for the community spirit that Sikhs and Muslims have. But nothing makes them feel more inferior than Christianity. As the leaders have worsened so has the feeling of inferiority.

Ironically, this is true. Hinduism can encompass any value. That, alas, leaves it with no value that it values. Its effect on the mind is making all moral values relative and failing to comprehend the differences in degrees and the very concept of objectivity.

Political correctness has made people of European ethnicity culturally blind, at least in how they vote. When the honor culture is gone, which was a pillar of Western civilization, "satan" will rule the roost. There is no shortage of evil characters. What you need for civilization is people who are prepared to stand up for what is right. That is increasingly gone. The US is a lovely place, perhaps the best in the world. But its foundations are more gone than that of any other Western country. Political correctness is the US approach. The British can still be very politically incorrect. China is improving rapidly, but I don't think China is ready to take over world leadership. Ruthless meritocracy, however, must be reimposed in the West.

Director of Aurobindo Pharma, Sarath Reddy, gets arrested in Delhi liquor scam. He turns approver.

Aurobindo Pharma donates Rs 55 cr to BJP through electoral bonds as exposed by the SC order.

Arvind Kejriwal gets arrested in Delhi liquor scam. These are unrelated events!

What @ArvindKejriwal has done is to muddy the ground forever for any other educated person who genuinely wants to get into politics for public service, with his lies, nautanki, autocratic behaviour and blatant corruption!

@ShefVaidya mam he is a true gentlemen infact a gem that no one wants to wear not bcz of expensiveness but it will harm the same hand that adore him.

What wrong has he done apart from being pursue all the characteristics of a good politician at the lightening speed like speak lies with confidence, whingering, breach of trust, promote lawlessness, flipping ideologies like costumes, appeasement of muslims, sympathize with destructive forces (Khalistanis), alluring public by announcing freebies and criticize HINDUISM every now and then.  

He is a blessing in disguise.

I think Bharat should do away with the colonial, feudal practice of addressing judges as ‘your honour’ ‘milord’ or ‘your lordship’. It is a practice that dates back to the British Raj and reeks deeply of slavery and white supremacy over the ‘unwashed natives’ of India. Let’s start referring to judges as ‘महोदय’ or simply, ‘judge’. If you agree, please repost. #NoMoreMilord #MahodayNotMilord

Not our problem what the British do anymore. They can call their judges anything they want, fact is, in India it WAS a white supremacist thing historically.

Duh, how is calling some paid public servant in a black robe ‘your honour’ or ‘my lord’ ‘a mark of obedience to the rule of law’? Are you SURE you are a ‘senior fellow at ICSSR’? Do they have such shockingly low standards?

Not really. The judge is simply a person paid to do his job, which is to interpret the law. No one is ‘Maay baap’ or shouldn’t be in a democracy!

You don’t understand the nuances, a judge in not just an individual, he represents law, the court and a system 

He is not “simply a person“ he represents knowledge character morality sense of fairness and justice that’s why he is respected in some courts lawyers begin their arguments with “this court …..”

Bring back standards. Bring back TABOOS. Bring back exclusive clubs that are almost impossible to join. Blurring all boundaries has been a disaster for the human race. Bring back the moral compass, severe judgements, a theological sense of right and wrong

know this gonna be unpopular but i so totally prefer the book—which instead of questioning its own mythology, chooses instead to question spectacle, heroism, and whether even the perfect human should still be king—to this perfectly spectacular, heroic, kingly movie when you do that hollywood thing of staging your own leftist self-criticism so you can defy it with a soaring affirmation of the mythology of divine rule, you are, i think, missing the whole point of dune

which doesn’t question if the mythology is real (it is) but if it’s *good* the movie does what hollywood’s done since demille 100 years ago: stage a conflict between secular rationalism and divine mythology as a conflict between west and east, coming down hard on orientalist tropes of the simple, intuitive, mystical men of the desert

the book does not.

My brain has been whirring since discovering the actual premise of dune : even if you have an amazing king, should we still have rulers in the first place ? 

In a nutshell this is why crypto is a rebellion - we replace rulers with smart contracts changeable by consensus

As long as we have diversity and live in a collective I believe we'll have need for rules

Since 2 people can both be extremely evolved and still have very different opinions on what we should do, so there has to always be a mechanism for deciding which way to go

And where you have rules, you have need for their enforcement

And where you need enforcement, you need rulers

Smart contracts are what helps us break out of this vicious cycle, like @ErikVoorhees pointed out at permissionless

In an ideal state of true 'self'-governance, even rules don't exist, as the evolution of a Higher Consciousness in every human discards d need for external regulation. Auroville city in India was an audacious attempt at this in d 60s. Lng way 2 go, until then, rules over rulers!
