  • Discussion on democracy and individualism

    Discussion on democracy and individualism

    SB: Individualism hits at the roots of society, only to eventually dismantle it. BUT, Individualism actually is necessary and important for a Democracy to thrive. Reason why democracies tend towards degeneracy.

    Digression- Individualist (by definition non conforming) societies tend to initially do good with high impact innovation such as West. Eastern civilizations could very well have been selected for conformity though. Less conforming societies, like West, possibly has greater high IQ individuals at the right end of the IQ distribution curve, which should explain their higher innovativeness as compared to say a higher IQ Japan.

    However this is unlikely to sustain:

    1. Individualism is dysgenic.
    1. Individualism, today, is mostly sustained by democracies.

    Democracies being insecure gradually moves towards totalitarianism, stifling and even intervening innovation. Democracy, also, has no skin in the game in sustaining high impact innovations. (A bit tangential, but this is why democracy loving scientificist atheists are being delusional).

    SV: On individualism, here is a note. “The first fact is the growing individualisation in the modern age. ” This is a red herring the west has put Hindus after, in absence of its own credible theories of social organization. Atomizing of individual is merely one movement, and is ultimately subservient to human nature’s more powerful aspects – man’s social animal nature, man’s craving for fulfillment, completeness and happiness (purushArtha), man’s tendency to surrender independence for fulfillment, the trade off between security and independence, the trade off between individual and collective happiness, his own conscience and so on. The west does not have a theory to learn from human nature and create institutions without organizing individuals, yet be able to, through those institutions, create a collective order. Hindus have, because rishis teach us to learn from nature, from both higher and lower layers of consciousness. And there is a phenomenal track record of success, which we still are depending on but are undermining its importance. I can cite a small example – in spite of a high rate of urbanizing and atomizing, the rate of divorce in Hindus is not as high as in urban west. In fact urban west is improving on divorce rate in areas where Hindus migrated in bigger numbers. Not because Hindu women do not have career ambitions, or because Hindus have lesser ego than the westerners. But because ultimately these aspects of nature are understood well by Hindus and that reflects in the balance of choices Hindus make. The aspects that the west failed to hone in human nature are the reasons Hindus have a different outlook. Ultimately human nature is more powerful than any hegemony, and if this is not understood any hegemony will fall and give way to emerging powers that emphasize the missed aspects. The vacuum created in the meanwhile also helps hasten the fall of the erstwhile hegemony. Which we are seeing in the west anyway – individualism gives rise to liberalism, protection of human perversion in the name of liberty and lets the perversion weaken and render the society helpless in front of emerging powers. Which is why the west is unable to take the challenge of rising east as the latter comes with a stronger social principle. There is a reason rishis emphasize human nature more than anything else. One who understands it never fails.

    SB: Brilliant SV. I of course agree with you. The West despite having appropriated all forms of pagan scientific/materialist knowledge traditions(and building on it thereon), has failed to properly use the knowledge systems related to sociopolitical organization of our sister paganisms and utilize them towards gaining profound insight into human nature, collective and individual. Past efforts have been limited in scope, and whatever they were, have been rendered irrelevant (I am told Acquinas was one of the few, for example). This is not to say that we have an inferior understanding of human nature and human organization at all. Our Paganic sisters were in the throes of degeneracy (which has to have a certain degree of atomization to succeed) much worse than what we have ever witnessed. And, therefore, in sustaining a civilization, I would say we have fared much better. The West’s failure to utilize the lessons can be blamed upon Christianity. Their sociopolitical systems are all direct descendants of Christianity. Catholicism->Protestantism. And therefore express unmistakably core Christian metaphysical assumptions of the world, which is out of sync with human nature and inherently anti-civilization. Individualism is a manifestation of the same process.

    SV: So again our emphasis where it is needed, such as ensuring a non-conflicting and aligning individual & collective goals through a proper social design, without having to even sound either in favor of or against the fad of individualism, isn’t very difficult if we take recourse to sAstra.

    SB: And democracy is less than a perfect system to achieve it.

    SV: Democracy in fact dehumanizes and commodifies the individual and helps create a coercive state. Innovation happening in a democratic open society is limited to manifest layer. There is no fundamental churn possible. Because individual’s freedom is subject to his conformance with the coercive norms of the state. One that questions the nature of human being as understood by the state or the very character of state, will be unwelcome.

    AB: Part of the reason why the west is unable to view a larger group as an atomic unit and gives that position to H is due to its Semitic roots.

    SB: Indeed. It is in democracy’s nature to lessen the codependency of an individual from the rest. This invariably means an individual, freed from his earlier interdependent bonds with other members of the society, becomes more reliant on the state (which is why it has a skin in the game in turning the society more atomized). Invariably making the state stronger and stronger, eventually giving rise to a nanny state. The in secured nature of democracy is because it tries to derive it’s legitimacy from the people. Easy to see why it will dictate and meddle in every aspect of your life (The more majoritarian you are, the greater is the meddling).

    AB: And slowly the Indian state is going the western way. Take the example of Insurance- the family, the clans, the caste guilds were the ones in charge of providing insurance in case of any calamity. These days, individuals want none of that and are more than happy to have the state take care of insurance.

    SB: Individualism in today’s time is an entirely liberal Democracy (with capitalism hopping onto the bandwagon) driven initiative. Other forms of states, not having to draw it’s legitimacy from the people, are more secured. Which is why, democracy is evil. However this arrangement exacts numerous natural costs on us. And ultimately is unsustainable. There is a reason why every single geography threw away democracy after experimenting with i.

    SV: Democracy is a corollary of open society, and open society comes with inherent onus of self-preservation of society at its own expense. Unless it is an open society like H society where state takes responsibility of protecting the ways of life of people and not implementing the will of people (which it again manufactures as a consent).

    SB: Exactly why an inimical secular democratic state has been so disastrous for Hindus. The democratic state seeks to “implement the will of people”, rather than “protecting their ways” as was done by the erstwhile Hindu States(Rajyas). The modern state on the other hand chooses to usurp social functions and their ownership from the society. This makes it incumbent for the democratic state to nurture and influence the “will of the people” so as to eventually secure and legitimize it’s existence. It has makes use of numerous tools for it, such as the academia, media, formal schooling etc. And it is these which are used to “manufacture the consent”.

    AB: This might only be a theoretical question given the times we live in, but is it possible to subvert democracy to the advantage of Hindus?

    SV: You can subvert democracy to the advantage of Hindu people but not Hindu institutions or sustainable dharma.

    SB: The liberal order is very insecure about ethnocentric movements. Any such movements are always derided as “undemocratic” even when they promise to work within the democratic set up. This should give you the clue. But, ultimately in opting to work within the democratic set up, even these movements imbibe the typical un-Hindu liberal frames of reference, derived entirely from an Abrahamistic world view, so they would be but a second best option. In fundamental terms they are not going to be much different. For example, a BJP government is basically the same as any governance focused and less corrupt Congress led government. Naturally, we have hardly witnessed any revival of Hindu traditions despite a good 20 years after the arrival of BJP. The whole structure of the constitution needs to be altered for this to change.

    SV: Ultimately public Hindu uprising against a state can only happen where the state appears to violate the Hindu interests in a manifest way (riots, funding etc), it is impractical and won’t happen in case of violation of H institutions like marriage or sampradayas. So the state knows that it can destroy Hinduism from under the bottoms of Hindus and Hindus are helpless in saving it.

    SB: Yep. Especially with the “manufacturing consent” part at play. There is a reason why social institutions are critiqued as heavily. Anyone who thinks the state is dependent on majoritarian views to *do* something is WRONG.

  • Kaise Bura Na Manoon? How New Year Really Was For Women Across World

    Kaise Bura Na Manoon? How New Year Really Was For Women Across World

    Yet another New Year has come and gone and, despite the growing conversation around women’s safety and equality on this festive day, 2017 was no different when it comes to violation of their rights.

    One look at a compilation of all reported cases of rape, assault and molestation of women on 31 December this year and the retort to “bura na mano, New Year hai!” becomes clear:

    Kaise bura na manoon?

    These are only the reported cases of sexual offences against women which made it to the news. When we consider the thousands of women who were groped, pinched, and played New Year with against their consent who didn’t or couldn’t complain, the violence takes on devilish proportions.

    Police with no reason lathi charged Hindu women while they were playing New Year, beaten BJPWB Zila President when he went to protest.

    Note: The article has been adapted from original story printed in The Quint. The word “Holi” has been replaced with “New Year” throughout the article to show the stupidity of leftist morons on how conflating a festival with women safety reeks of complete hypocrisy.

    This is a sarcastic take on this hypocrisy.

  • Jolly LLB 2: Glimpse into hollow modernity

    Jolly LLB 2: Glimpse into hollow modernity

    Indian cinema has bought into idea(s) of Hollywood in more than one ways. Except making films in Indian languages—no matter how polluted by English they already are, Indian movies sound and look more and more like non-Indian films. The way contemporary characters dress both men and women usually are some version of the fashion from the west, slowly erasing one of the most Indian aspects of Indian movies. The vibrancy of Indian color is still maintained, but the elegance of wearing Indian outfits as a choice of home-wear, casual-wear, professional and everyday wear, especially for women, which are climate appropriate, is fast being made to seem a choice for the poor and economically backward classes.

    Increasingly, Indian cinema makes movies of a “certain genre”, rather than masala films. While former employs usually one or two emotions in narrating its story, the latter exposes audiences to a range of emotions through storytelling. And now, there are “franchise films” replacing one-time unforgettable characters, best remembered through one remarkable performance. So, as opposed to Anand, Zanjeer and Sholay that brilliantly immortalized characters in the first attempt, there are now Munna Bhais and Golmaal Returns and Jolly LLB 2—that keep returning to capitalize on their first successes.

    However, Jolly LLB is more about the judiciary system than just about one lawyer, so the character is new, as is his situation from the earlier movie of the same title, released in 2013. And the one thing very typically Indian about the movie is its location of action– the Indian courtroom.

    The movie, promoted as a comedy, certainly does help you maintain an amused expression for the most part of the film. But despite the fact that Bollywood thinks that it has broken the “old mold”, of masala films, it is simply creating new stereotypes. Here are some that stood out for me in Jolly LLB 2:

    First: In the last few years, a few things that have become staple in Bollywood films. Women have become the gender of choice to sell alcohol to public as a fun, normative thing to do. Usually this involves them getting drunk, doing silly things and sometimes throwing themselves on men. But Jolly LLB 2 reached a new height when they showed a mother of a six-year old drinking and passing out in front of her child. Not once were the consequences of such an act even considered in the courtroom drama that talked constantly about “the right thing to do”. No commentary on what happens to children who see their parents, especially mothers, getting drunk and passing out in front of them. So, now instead of bars, alcohol is right at the center of the family, normalizing it, even encouraging it as a marker for a healthy family. Because, there were no repercussions, and no undesirable outcome of a mother drinking in front of her son.

    Second: While in earlier movies it was a Naina living in New York or a Rani from Rajouri Garden who drinks in Paris to deal with her broken heart after she is abandoned by her fiancé, today it is a Shruti from Janakpuri, a regular Delhi graduate from middle class family, who is shown drinking to celebrate her wedding planning business, as if mithai and chai, an age old way of celebrating does not fit us anymore. But in Jolly LLB 2, it is Pushpa Pandey, an MA in Sanskrit at that, who has a thing for “angrezi sharab” such that despite a spat with her husband she gets up to down an entire bottle while her child sleeps in the same room. So, this love of alcohol is now presented as a norm.

    Third: For all the hu-ha about feminism and movies, Pushpa Pandey is a real parasite. No, I mean really, she just takes and takes, without giving. She does not work, does not cook, talks to her husband like he is her sidekick, even though she has no special quality or ability except an obsession with western, especially designer clothes. Despite her MA in Sanskrit she utters Gucci a few times in the movie, and then to celebrate her anniversary buys a designer dress. In fact, in the beginning of the movie, she does not let her husband in the house because he has not yet bought her these designer clothes. Jolly has to break into his own house with the help of his neighbor and despite being a Brahmin “makes up” with his wife by giving an example from Mahabharata and offering her alcohol. When their six year old child demands to be taken the toilet, Jolly says, “mummy to talli ho gayi” and helps the child. The modern Indian woman can take and demand, but has no responsibility to give.

    Fourth: Sufi songs are beautiful. They touch the heart. I could listen to them forever. But lately there have been too many and often it is the Hindus that are ready with their sajdahs and taveez who grace these songs. I would like to see a Muslim walk into a temple, a Christian resting his head at Krishna’s feet in our secular country. I feel minorities are underrepresented in temples. Or we could have a Shiv Bhajan playing as a Muslim young woman is shown praying in a temple, or see a Christian dancing to a lively rendition of Hanuman Chalisa.

    Fifth: I thought movies today were about “reality” more real than before, then we should show various aspects of reality. So, if Jolly is riding a scooter, sometimes he should be shown wearing a helmet, sometimes not, and well, sometimes we should show the consequences of not wearing a helmet as well. Make it a part of the plot, so while the audience learns that offering alcohol to your wife is a prerequisite for a healthy family life, so is wearing a helmet for the safety of the body and eventually family.

    Given the current direction of Bollywood it is hard to expect that they will make any course correction in the near future. So brace yourself for more ugliness in the future.

  • Over population is good for India and Indian society-III

    Over population is good for India and Indian society-III

    Coming to final part of this series on overpopulation, let us look back at what we have covered so far. In part 1, we addressed myths of India already having an overall high population number, and high population density. In part 2 we addressed myths of India not having enough land and water to support a large population. Now we must move on to what is perhaps one of the most contentious issues, i.e. high population causes unemployment.

    Myth 5: Over Population causes unemployment

    This is a very pernicious lie, perpetuated by even the supposedly RW economists. Over population has not caused unemployment per se, nor will it do so, without mismanagement of the economy by the government. For example, the unemployment rate in India was far higher in the 1980s, during era of Indira’s license raj than today.

    Consider a self-sustained village of 1000 people, running near full efficiency, with enough doctors, engineers, public servants, police officers, lawyers, judges, traders, business owners, farmers, bankers and laborers. Suppose 5% are unemployed. If the population grows tenfold, the village will need roughly ten times as many people in each profession and may still retain roughly the same unemployment rate. The same model can be extrapolated to much larger populations.

    Like most arguments about overpopulation of India, the argument that it is responsible for India’s backwardness is based on raw numbers. India has fewer doctors per capita than developed nations not because of overpopulation, but because India has not invested adequately in health care and is thus unable to produce enough doctors per capita.

    Over population is actually more efficient for some sectors of Economy

    There are sectors where the larger population will actually make the population wealthier with the same efficiency, one such is the defense sector. A larger population can support a much larger military while spending a smaller share of total national output.

    This is why most people consider increased spending on defense as bad for the economy, while simultaneously claiming that increased spending of the society on healthcare or education is a good thing. There can be no better example for this phenomenon than a comparison between India and Pakistan. Per capita income level of India is only modestly higher than that of Pakistan but since India is far more populous, and hence overall economically bigger, it can spend far more on defense while devoting a smaller percentage of GDP.

    This is also the reason USA is presently the sole superpower of the world. Many nations match USA in terms of per capita income and wealth. However, none have the same military might, partly because the USA’s population is several times higher than most individual European countries.

    It is also the reason Japan could never have taken over as the prime super power of the world like it was feared in the 1980s. Japan only had about half the population of USA, and a number that was already in decline.

    This is why it is considered inevitable that China, and eventually India, will start to out-produce the west, to become the most dominant force on the planet. Population can be a positive force for Indian society, and not a negative one. It is about time that Hindus get out of this paranoia against population, which was created by incompetent socialist governments.

  • In Defense of Arranged Marriage

    In Defense of Arranged Marriage

    The purpose of marriage is children. I know I link to Darwin Reactionary a lot, but fact is he addresses the idea in such detail it is hard not to reference him. But perhaps there is no need to go into utilitarianism, let us discuss the story of Swetaketu instead.

    The rishi sees another brahmaNa catch his mothers hand and pull her away. Infuriated he is about to berate the interloper, when his father Uddalaka stops him and says that it is an acceptable practice that men and women can take any partner they desire. The rishi cannot tolerate this, and thus he lays the cornerstone of civilization – the institution of marriage.

    It is important to note that in the story, it is not the mother or the father who are invested in the marriage it is the child Swetaketu. It is he who desires a union for his parents, while they are simply not bothered by it. It is also interesting to note that while this could have been his father who was straying and his mother admonishing him, the reverse is true. This is perhaps because the mother is extremely important to the child’s development. In jyotishashastra the moon represents both the mother of the native as well as the mind, but this tidbit is only of auxillary value. The mAnava dharma shAstra itself gives us a clue as to the importance of the mother.

    MDS 2.145. The teacher is ten times more venerable than a sub-teacher, the father a hundred times more than the teacher, but the mother a thousand times more than the father.

    Thus we see that out of all the parties involved the most affected is the child, and that marriage itself was instantiated not for the father who may benefit greatly from a wife who honours him, nor the mother who benefits greatly from being revered in the household which could not happen if any man could enjoy her without restraint, but it is the child who benefits from the stable union of father and mother in the holy union of marriage. There is a huge amount of literature on the superiority of married biological parents raising a child versus any other form even that of biological parents cohabiting.

    So now we know, marriage is good and it protects everyone involved but it protects children even more we should ideally discuss who marries and how they decide. If marriage is truly about offspring then the decision to marry must be based keeping this in mind. Marriage cannot be a decision based on feelings such as love, because such lust is ephemeral and it leads to a slippery slope. If one can simply choose one’s partner, then what stops one from divorcing the first wife once the lust wears off? Is this fair to the child? Is this fair to the wife? Is it fair to the husband? Tacitus writes on how the Germanic tribes viewed marriage and the structure of it is echoed in how Indians view marriage, or perhaps it is best I say viewed.

    Love marriages thus are a dicey situation. Will a decision taken on the basis of fleeting feelings weather difficult situations? The American Psychological Association makes the claim that this is not so. A significant percentage of marriages are ending in divorce estimated as high as 50%. Marriage in the UK has crashed to an all time low, and people are getting married later and later which affects the quality of the progeny. The idea of marriage based on love thus is not fulfilling the purpose of marriage, love marriages are for the most part, a farce.

    Now we know that the Germanic tribes seemed to “arrange” marriage in some sense and we know that in India this has always been the case. But did this exist elsewhere? Apostolou has a number of interesting papers which discuss this. He argues that marriages have always been arranged and this is why risk taking behavior in men is valued, not because women are impressed by risk taking behavior but because other men are. Let us not dive into quasi-Freudian psychobabble about latent homosexuality, he clarifies that men are signalling to fathers of women they desire. The fathers are the ones who restrict mating rights to their daughters, and they value traits in men such as industriousness and character thus selecting for such things in the population.

    Apostolou describes multiple ways in which this was done in the past, both through psychological manipulation as well as through physical force but the outcomes regardless was that sons and daughters married on the behest of their parents. The parents chose mates for them and this has been extrapolated both in agricultural societies as well as early hunter gatherer ones.

    Think about this for a minute. This means that humans have evolved to have their parents choose their partners for them. They are completely ill-equipped to select a mate. Are divorce rates and marriage rates in the West a surprise?

    Here are another couple studies cited in the same paper.

    Farthing concluded that certain aspects of male risk-taking behaviors are directed towards other men rather than women. And men are responsive to such behaviors: Kelly and Dunbar found that men prefer to form friendships with risk-prone, brave men. It is no surprise then that men make riskier decisions while driving when they have male passengers than when they have female ones. Additionally, Fischer and Rodriguez Mosquera in a meta-analysis study concluded that men evoke anger and aggression not because they want to attract the attention of women, but because they are afraid of losing status and respect in the eyes of other men.

    Why are men so concerned with acquiring wealth, signalling risk taking ability and out-competing every other man in their field? Instead of signalling their prowess to other men, if they wanted to reproduce they should be signalling to women. Might it be because signalling wealth to older men, make them valuable son-in-laws in their eyes ultimately giving them a wife.

    Now let’s remove this model of mate selection and let’s ask men to choose their own wives. Given how ingrained this system of men acquiring traits and behaviours which signal value to men, they will simply not be able to change strategies and signal now to women. They are already starting out at a disadvantage. On the other hand, men who were unconcerned with becoming industrious but were able to signal to women their mating ability, colloquially “players”, will be the ones who succeed in mating often to the detriment of the women involved. Without arranged marriage, it looks like we hit the prisoner’s dilemma Nash equilibrium. Everyone is worse off.

    These make a strong case for the continuation of the arranged marriage system put in place by our pitRs. Apostolou also describes how this may not be possible in post-industrial societies, but that simply means we have to be stricter about organizing Hindu society. The Japanese have industrialized but are nowhere near as degenerate as the West. No systems are foolproof, nor do they work effectively 100% of the time. There are always leakages, and there will always be failures. However, perhaps looking at maximizing the quantity of beneficial outcomes is a better way to go about organizing society than maximizing entropy in a way that benefits a few lucky elite.

  • Nirbhaya aftermath

    Nirbhaya aftermath

    On 16 December 2012, a 23 year old female physiotherapy intern was brutally gang raped, beaten and tortured in a private bus in metropolitan city, national capital Delhi. Due to some legal reasons initially her name was kept as “Nirbhaya” which means “fearless” but later on her own parents declared her original name as “Jyoti Singh”. A male friend of Jyoti named Awindra Pratap Pandey was with her at the time of crime. Awindra was badly beaten up and thrown out of the bus by the culprits.

    There were total 6 accused who committed heinous crime. Conviction charges on them are of Rape, Murder, Kidnapping, Robbery and Assaults. One of the convict, Ram Singh, a driver died in trial period while others including Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, Pawan Gupta and Akshay Thakur were awarded death sentence by a trial court in September 2013 and six months later high court upheld conviction and sentence. All four approached Supreme Court, which stayed their execution in 2014. Juvenile defendant Md. Afroz was released on 20 December 2016. Parents of Nirbhaya are still struggling and regularly attending court proceedings for justice.

    Both nationally and internationally this incident generated a widespread coverage, outrage, anger among masses and was widely condemned by Indians. But funnily enough India was still given the title of “Rape capital of the world” even though it has much less crimes against women. And how did that happen? Through the western propaganda system.

    India’s Daughter, a documentary inspired by Nirbhaya was directed by Leslee Udwin as a part of BBC’s ongoing Storyville series and broadcasted in UK on 4 March 2015. While Indian film-makers would have had major difficulty in meeting the accused, Udwin got uninterrupted access to the criminals in Tihar Jail. And she did what western propagandists do best- distort the statements of criminals and use them to paint the whole Indian society as evil. The protests on India gate or high rape rates in west got no mention. Another major work in similar pattern was by Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta film titled Anatomy of Violence.

    But leaving the propaganda aside, how much attention has been paid to the developments post this crime. In the aftermath of this incident, Nirbhaya Trust was made to give assistance to women who have experienced violence to find legal assistance. Government of India setup Nirbhaya Fund to address violence against women and fund is governed by Department of Economic Affairs of the Finance Ministry. However, as of March 2015, a very little fund has been spent on women’s safety. But at present, how many of us know about the laws changed post this incident?

    As a result of the protests in December 2012, a judicial committee was set up to amend laws in order to provide faster and quicker investigations and prosecution of sex offenders as suggested by public. After considering nearly 80,000 suggestions the committee came up with a conclusion that root cause behind the crime against women is the government and the police. A few amendments made in Criminal Law Amendment Act, 2013 are inclusion of new offenses like acid attack, stalking, sexual harassment and voyeurism. The enforcement of law is the biggest problem for both the rural and urban areas in India. But those who directed the media backlash against whole India hardly care to point about the developments since then.

    Some results so far:

    Government of Karnataka announced a 24/7 helpline number 1091 to be operated by state police to register sexual abuse complaints from women.

    Government of Tamil Nadu announced a 13-point action plan to ensure safety of women in Tamil Nadu and probes to be instructed to top police officials.

    Government of Jammu and Kashmir announced plan to change state laws against sexual and gender crimes.

    Government of Himachal Pradesh announced to setup state and district level committees to keep an eye on progress of all crime cases against women.

    On 22 December 2015, Rajya Sabha passed the Juvenile Justice Bill which proposed that accused above 16 years of age will be treated as an adult in court.

    On 9 September 2016, a new initiative of five all-women PCR vans launched in Delhi.

    These are just some examples. Recently on 30 August 2016, Minister of Home Affairs Sri Rajnath Singh released annual report of “Crime in India” 2015 which shows a decrease of 3.1% under crime against women from 3,37,922 cases in 2014 to 3,27,394 cases in 2015.

    As per National Crime Records Bureau, total 34,651 rape cases were reported in India in 2015. Out of which in 33,098 cases the offenders were known to the victim. Madhya Pradesh reported 4,391 rape cases while Delhi witnessed 2,199. But there are also chances of cases which are not reported to Police in sake of family dignity, respect and women reputation or image. In Kerala, 910 rape cases were reported in first six months of 2016. The number of rape cases reported in the previous year was 1263.

    So, the question is to the media, why they do not highlight the new developments and commitment of Indian society towards addressing such crimes. Making people aware about the laws will go a long way in helping women against predation. But this is something which is disregarded and we decided to test the effectiveness of new laws by talking to some young people.

    To do this we interviewed few female as well as male students age group of 20 to 22 year about the incident of December 2012, to understand about their views and sensitivity. First person whom we talked with, Shikha Yadav, a student of 22year old had no knowledge of amendments made in existing laws. She came to Delhi in 2016. Another girl, Anamika a student of Delhi University came to Delhi in year 2013. Her reaction to the incident of gang rape in 2016 is described by her as huge sadness loaded with a deepest fear. The reactions of boys were totally different from those of girls. According to Mayank Bharadwaj a student of engineering, girls should become self-sufficient in order to fight against any sort of mis-happenings. He says that government should morally educate people and also appoint more number of judges to take care of increasing number of cases. Another student, Arun Rai knew about the law protecting women from domestic violence. He thinks hard punishment should be served only after convict is proven guilty as many girls misuse rape charges for personal grudges. Both Mayank and Arun agree on a common note that there are no laws against false rape cases which seriously need to be checked. One of the common reactions of all the participants was that they all had deep sense of fear accompanied by a lot of anger and emotions in their mind. We also came across the false rape cases and it seems there should be proper regulating and monitoring body to deal with both actual and fake rape cases.

    To summarize, the new laws seemed to have added some teeth to existing laws but they seem to generate different reactions in men and women. The prevalence of large number of fake rape cases has created fear among men. So, the problem which still seems to be gripping such issues is the delivery of justice in such cases. While new laws look good on paper, but unless there is increase in the number of judges to deliver fast justice in such cases, it will only create problems and the way two sexes look at the problem. The support of Indian public in fighting such problems was amply displayed during the protests, but what is needed now is swift justice delivery aside from removing stigma from such cases.

    Recently, Women and Child development minister Maneka Gandhi said “India ranked among the lowest four countries in the world in terms of rape cases”. This puts light on the fact that there is a zero level of tolerance towards rape cases in India and as result more cases are reported in comparison to other countries. However, we need effective implementation of strong measures that were proposed immediately after Nirbhaya case. The emphasis should be on providing speedy justice and compensation to victims as well as to prevent fake cases. It’s time to accept changes, remove ignorance, change perceptions and spread awareness.

  • Hindu Tax Funded Love Jihad- BJP’s next brilliant idea

    Hindu Tax Funded Love Jihad- BJP’s next brilliant idea

    BJP government, being the Hindu thekadar right wing government, has recently announced a great plan for muslims- that it will start 5 universities exclusively for minorities where 40% of seats will be reserved for women of all religions i.e. mostly Hindus. Basically it means that the universities will have 60% Muslim men enrolled and 40% women of all religions enrolled. Since 40% all women is at the very least is likely to be representative of Indian religious demographic at large, 80% of the 40% will be Hindu women if not straight up higher since Hindu women on average have higher educational achievements that average sullis who usually are bred to be broodmares for future jihadis and hence education is among the least of their priorities. Here is the excerpt from above news:

    The committee will work out details and decide. But students belonging to other than minority communities can also take admissions there. We will try to give 40 per cent quota to girl students to empower them. It will not be based on religion.

    Unsurprisingly, Hindu feminists and non hindu feminists alike, who have previously hailed love Jihad and rape conversions as a way to fight against patriarchy have hailed this move as a way to help fight Hindu male domination just like the white feminist sisters fight white male patriarchy by wearing body bags (burkha) and proclaiming that they would rather be raped by muslim refugees than hear about racist men asking them to be safe. While that is unsurprising, what is surprising is the silence from the supposedly Hindu RW and RW publications on this issue. Even most of the supposedly Right wing Twelebs are maintaining an unholy silence on this issue, as if they are just paid BJP chamchas rather than people with genuine Hindu interest at heart. Then again, these people have rarely not kissed BJP’s rear on policy issues and hence its not that surprising either.

    So what is the problem with this idea? As already explained, BJP wants to open minority universities with 40% quota for women of all religions. So it is fairly reasonable to assume that the end result of such admission policy is that it will comprise of 60% muslim men and 32% Hindu women, 7% muslim women and 1% women from other religions. As anyone with knowledge of Love Jihad can imagine, it is basically a program where BJP government will offer Hindus girls to muslim men for breeding future jihadis, just like wives of Amir Khan, Shahrukh Khan etc. They will spawn kids named Taimur Khan, Jihadi Khan, Kaffir Slayer Khan, Muhammed Aurangzeb etc and the self respect lacking Hindus who allow this to happen can fake their outrage on Twitter just like in the case of Kareena and her spawn.

    When there are so many Hindu issues to be solved like Right to Education act which has closed down thousands of Hindu run schools every month, why is the Hindu thekadar government i.e. BJP pushing for sending Hindu girls to Muslim men under the guise of empowerment? For a supposedly Right wing pro-Hindu government, BJP has managed to do something which even Hindu haters like Communists and Congress have not done before- scientific whoring of Hindu interest. Does BJP think that turning Hindu girls into brood mares of the jihadis is the best way to solve Muslim issue?

    This article might put off some BJP loyalists, who will support BJP and Modi if tomorrow BJP passes a law mandating that Hindus must compulsorily give their daughters to Jihadis just like how BJP passed a law making it illegal for Hindus to not give houses to Muslims if they don’t want to turn their houses into slaughter houses, and some rational Hindu Right wingers too, who might find this article offensive. The former can go kiss BJP’s rear like they usually do and ignore this news/article while for the latter .ie normal Hindus, this article being offensive is the intention of this article and if the words sound offensive, think of the reality of the situation.

    The only other solution to this kind secular politics of BJP is to punish BJP by not voting for them to make it clear that the liberal/jihadis/secular votes they gain from pimping Hindu interests is far less than the votes of Hindus they will lose by such policies. If Hindus keep listening to the daughter selling brigade of BJP, i.e. BJP loyalists who will want BJP in power even if it sells their daughters to sullas like in this instance and keep voting for BJP under the bullshit notion of TINA(there is no alternative), then BJP has no incentive of correcting itself as it has more votes to gain than to lose because self respect lacking and dumb Hindus will continue to vote for BJP using TINA excuse. Frankly, if this BJP government, which funds Jihadis by using Hindu Tax money when it is supposed to be the thekadar of Hindus and Nationalism (there is no Indian Nationalism without Hindus), is the best Hindus can come up with, then Hindus might as well give up any hope for a proper future for them.

  • Over-Population is good for India and its society-II

    Over-Population is good for India and its society-II

    Continuing with bursting the bubble on “we’re already at the brink,” this is part 2 in this series of population articles. Part 1, where we already addressed myths of India already having an overall high population number, and high population density can be found here: Over-population-is-good-for-india-and-indian-society.

    Myth 3: India cannot feed its population if this population growth continues

    This is a myth which has been propagated right from the time of the British, which their brown sahibs, the Indian National Congress party and its ideological cousins, the commies have projected fully onto the Indian population. India once was a country which was world renowned for manufacturing and export of fabrics & clothes, enjoying patronage from times of Greeks till even the 16th century. Such a feat was made possible because the Indian population was well fed, and had enough spare land to cultivate cotton and weave them into a variety of fabrics & clothes for exports. India subsequently under the Raj was reduced to a country of mass starvation, because of the forced cultivation of indigo, tobacco, opium etc. by the British over the food cultivation. To hide the genocide the British engineered on Indian peasants for their greed, the British blamed the over population of India and how Indian famine is due to Indian population being too high. Please take a note, even with famines resulting in millions of deaths, British didn’t stop the export of food grains out of India. Now, in place of the British, we have the mentally colonized brown sahibs from Congress and Communists, who peddle the same lies for starvation in India. They say there’s a lack of land and overpopulation instead of addressing the actual reasons – the virtual absence of social mobility for the Indian farmers, largely due to over regulation of the business sector and industrial sector.

    A fair few of the well-heeled in India, who would like to invest in industries or business, they don’t even try to venture into the business world. They are to a large extent put off by the gargantuan amount of regulations, with varying complexities, all of which they have to tackle in order to become successful. In states where the Communists flex muscle, like West Bengal and Kerala, labor unions have scared most investors away with their politicking. This has reduced the population in those particular states to earn their wealth serving either other Indians, or, serving others outside India, where conditions vary from good to plain atrocious. Many of the working class, they have to contend with conditions worse than they had in India itself. Many a videos of workers whose passports are snatched away, food rationed, residing in poor living quarters can be found online to substantiate this. Despite all this, the political leadership espouses virtues of communism/ socialism, while the natives of the land are away from their homeland, with almost nonexistent rights available to them in the countries they work. Scarily enough, real trouble runs even deeper. Since most business sectors and industrial sectors are over regulated, it reduces the incentive for private companies to invest. As a consequence, many jobs which would otherwise be created, they don’t end up anywhere but the drawing board. The farmers, who as it is are not able to make their ends meet, they find themselves unable to switch to something else even if their life depended on it. To add insult to injury, they put in place laws restricting usage, essentially making it illegal to use agricultural land for any other purpose than agriculture. This means a farmer won’t be able to sell his land to a real estate developer/ industrialist, who are likely to provide far bigger compensation for the land, than would another farmer. The farmers in effect have no choice and are somewhat forced to work in farming sector, whether he is able to meet his ends from farming or not. This is why many of the farmers live in abject poverty, often propped only by welfare measures of the brown saheb regimes, whose very policies cursed them to this position in the first place. Many people have apprehension about farmland being developed into real estate, but that is to forget that not all such land was farmland to begin with. In fact, there is more farmland in India today than there was in 1947. So we can safely say protecting the present farmlands is not the only way to increase area under cultivation. The crushing pressure which is but the result of it all, leads many to take their own lives which is a matter of national shame.

    An area where Indian agriculture could certainly improve is production from present area under cultivation. Small farmers in India are mostly poor, and are not in any position to adopt massive scale modern technology like tractors, harvesters, improved hybrid seed varieties, improved irrigation techniques etc. In short, most of them are somewhat stuck with their unproductive and unscientific methods of farming for life. It is worth noting that till 18th century, this was the case for all the countries in the world. However, the developed nations of the west today were able to change the system by following exactly the opposite of what the Congress & Communist ideologues have done – that is to encourage people out of agriculture into more productive fields, like services sector and industrial sector. It is worth noting, that none of the industrialized and developed countries of the west presently have agriculture employing more than 5% of the population. The percentage of population employed in agriculture is about 8% for Japan, 5% for USA, 2% for UK, 3% for France etc. Since in those countries, farmers own large quantities of land, they can afford to adopt newer more productive technologies into agriculture easier and faster and lead their lives comfortably from farming, simply through economies of scale. For example, if there are two farmers, A and B, with A having 20 acres of land and B having 1 acre of land for farming. Even if A only gets Rs.500 per month per acre as opposed to B’s Rs.1000 per month per acre, A will get a net income of Rs.10,000 per month from his 20 acre land as opposed to B’s income of Rs.1000 per month from 1 acre land. Not easy to comprehend that A will be living a good life style, and B will be living a poverty stricken one. The latter is the story of majority of the Indian farmers today.

    So why is it all relevant to the discussion of overpopulation in India? Contrary to popular belief, India actually has a lot more land per capita for farming, much higher quality of land for farming. Indian lands can be farmed all through the year, unlike the western farms which can only be farmed during summer, thanks to excellent Indian climate. For example, Japan, South Korea, UK, Italy, France, Belgium etc. all have lower per capita farmland than India. Even China has a lower per capita farmland than India, but many people mistakenly believe that china has more farmland due to its size. But majority of China’s land is deserts like Tibetan plateau and Gobi desert and jungles. Believe it or not, Indian per capita farmland is 50% more than that of China’s per capita farmland. India actually has a far higher area under cultivation than China. However, Indian agricultural outputs are actually lower than that of China, even though Chinese agricultural outputs are nowhere near as high as most western countries or Japanese agricultural output. Based on all this, one can conclusively say that the problem of Indian agriculture is using outdated techniques for cultivation, irrigation etc. and not a problem of lack of arable land.

    Info taken from FAO. Indian wheat yields lowest in the world.

    Today, India is food secure, unlike the India of 1947. This idea of population not being fed properly comes from now discredited idea of Malthusian view of population and economics, which postulated that population growth cannot be matched by food production, which erroneously matched population growth model of future with the agricultural output and techniques available then, that is the 18th century. If India can get rid of pathological legislations and labor laws and licenses, the output of Indian farms can more than quadruple. “Too good to be true”, you say? Consider that average Indian yield per hectare for most food crops is only 1/4th that of the developed countries, so this is but easily achievable. Even with present day technology, India can sustain a population 3 times higher, let alone what the future technologies can bring to agriculture. Think about it, with GMOs, & other research presently underway, the production can only improve. All in all, the statement that India cannot support a high population is a myth, which is not grounded in fact or logic, but is propaganda propounded by Congress & Communist ideologues who gave rise to many problems we face today. You can find the per capita Arable land figure for India here: http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Agriculture/Arable-land/Hectares-per-capita#amount. Note that India has the 109th position in the ranking when it comes to low land per hectare, meaning there are 108 countries in the list which have lower per capita land than India. Also to be noted is that the per capita arable land for India is 0.129 which is the same as that of the 20 times richer Western Europe, which nobody in their right mind calls over populated.

    Myth 4: India is water starved and Indian population can’t sustain itself due to lack of water

    Here is the list of countries of the world and their “Renewable” water availability per capita: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ER.H2O.INTR.PC?year_high_desc=false. In this list, we can see Israel (whose per capita renewable water availability is 4 times lower than that of India), Egypt, Hungary, Denmark, Belgium ( EU headquarters which wants more population to sustain its demography) are some of the countries which have poorer water availability than India. While countries like Germany, South Korea, Czech Republic etc. have similar per capita water level of India, and yet nobody thinks of these countries as water starved. The water problem in India is not because of the lack of water sources, but rather lack of proper management of existing water sources. This needs proper management of our resources and not reduction of our population. Also, do note that water availability for most of the population of India as a percentage of population, it has actually increased in the recent years than decrease with increase in population. This increase is a direct result of better management of the available water resources. This is not even taking into account the massive potential saltwater desalination plants have in water management. In fact, Israel, which has only 1/4th the Water availability of India, has a TFR of 3 as opposed to Indian TFR of 2.3 which is already below natural replacement rate for many of the regions.

    For all the useless platitudes which are passed around, a result of perverse sense of enemy of my enemy mentality, Hindu RW sure doesn’t want to learn anything useful for their survival from Israel. The Israeli TFR is maintained high at the encouragement of their state, and their population has a good demographic base for their survival against their surrounding enemies. In face of this, Hindu RW is pretty happy adopting liberal memes which will kill them demographically, a slow, but inevitable death. The self-appointed Hindu thekedars, i.e. BJP/ RSS, presently in power in Assam for instance, is planning to pass a law forbidding people having more than 2 children from holding government offices (also MP). Since a large part of bureaucracy is formed by Hindus, is it a step in right direction? Compare that with the way Israeli government (which is supposedly secularist if one believes the right wing nutters of western media) encourages its Jewish citizens to have more children. In the next and final part of this series, we will take a look at one of the biggest myths thrown in our face, myth that unemployment will increase with rise in population numbers.

  • We Protect Our Own: Lessons from Bangalore

    We Protect Our Own: Lessons from Bangalore

    The news of hundreds of women being molested in Bangalore on new year’s celebration shocked the world and led to lot of angry reaction in social media and news outlets. Almost everyone is outraged by it, and rightfully so, and is blaming every group on the planet which isn’t their own for the incident. Feminists of course, including the ironically named Hindu feminists, were busy blaming patriarchy, all men and masculinity, all the while forgetting that it was the very men( and their masculinity) who protected their wives, daughters, sisters, girl friends and friends in that area from the low lives, which could have other wise turned into a rape fest like Cologne New Year eve, where thousands of women were molested and raped, since there weren’t enough men to give a damn about or protect their women from sullah migrants. Then of course, the Kannada nationalists, along with others South Indian chauvinists were blaming North Indian culture for it, citing Delhi as an example and how it was North Indian culture which was ruining Bangalore. Then of course, some nationalists, not taking sides and wise enough to avoid name calling all men as pigs or blaming entire regions, decided to call out police and their improper protection arrangements. Then of course, the Congressi Karnataka minister claimed that Bangalore was unsafe because of importing of the western values wholesale and the ironic part of this issue was that, it was a Congressi who sounded most sane in this whole debacle.

    The Kannada chauvinists of course would not find any fault in their own Kannadi men and could only fault the dirty, uncouth, unruly North Indians and their culture for it, since they can get away with it because North Indians have been turned into punching bags by the media thanks to their poor portrayal. This of course doesn’t stand up to evidence. North India, specially the rural folks have the lowest rates of crime against women and crime in general because rural areas tend to have low crime since people often know each other well and the biggest deterrence to crime is the shame of getting caught. This has been documented in several studies too, where small offices with lower number of workers tend to have lower thefts than large offices with lots of workers. Secondly, how exactly do these idiots know that the crime was perpetrated by North Indians and their culture? Do they have proof? Of course not. Most of the North Indians working in Bangalore are actually unskilled migrants and not posh westernised wannabe whites who celebrate excesses like New Years Eve. Most of the attendees to the celebration would have been westernised men local to the area, that is the kannadigas themselves. Then where did these chauvinistic idiots come up with the claim that molestation was from North Indian culture, specially when no one was caught nor was any case even registered. And North India was the first one to be outraged and carried out demonstrations against violence against women after Nirbaya rape case, which proves North Indians are no different when it comes to protecting their women and hence the claims by these anti-national regionalists masquerading as nationalists is nothing but disgusting mudslinging aimed at fellow north Indian immigrants there.

    Police at their present numbers cannot prevent anything

    There were of course people blaming the entire police department for lack of professionalism. This is patently absurd. Considering the absolutely pathetic numbers they are in and how absurdly over-worked and underpaid they are, it is a miracle that India isn’t a shit-hole worse than Islamic republics or Latin America wrt crime. For example, the average number of police per capita in India is about half that of any developed country in the world. That is, India has 120 police per 100,000 population while the developed world has about 360-400 per 100,000 population. Still India is one of the safest countries in the world to live in, part of which is due to our culture and stable families and other part is due to the over worked and efficient police force of our country. Yes, the police force is politicized but they should be given credit where it is due.

    Still, no report had been registered by the police during this episode. Why? One has to put themselves in their shoes and look at what happened in the event outside of emotional knee jerk conclusions. The truth is, police were outnumbered in the gathering area and so it would have been realistically impossible for them to control or do anything. Even if there had been rapes like the new years eve in Cologne, police would not have been able to do anything much about it. Adding to the problem, the evening was dark and fully crowded. This is a recipe for disaster specially when some low lives manage to sneak into the crowd. Since this crowd is mostly there to drink alcohol and party, it is a very good attraction spot for such low life scum. What could the police do at that point except be helpless? Let’s say for argument’s sake that one of the loved one’s woman is molested/grabbed in the crowds. What could a man do? The place was dark and is crowded. It would be very difficult to even know who did it. Even if he could be found, there is no way to know whether the grabbing was done on purpose or by accident. Given the crowd, the defence by the assaulter of accidentally touching the women will be hard to deny and hence as a neutral police man, on whose eyes both are innocent till proven guilty, both assaulter and victim are equally plausible to be saying the truth and could not do much about it. It could even be taken to court and the results won’t be anything different as judges can’t be provided with enough evidence for a conviction. Of course, considering how dark the night would have been, the assaulter could easily deny even being the perpetrator and could just escape. How could the police have done anything, given how small their numbers were?

    We Protect Our Own

    Instead of blaming the police or blaming all men, or blaming “North Indian” culture etc, it will be wise to act to the situation as the situation demands. The truth of the matter is, in an environment where Dharma is lost and is looked down upon by most urbanised, westernised white wannabes of the urban centers, such incidents will be all but unavoidable. When morality of Dharma, which asks women to be treated as sacred, is replaced by western morality of treating women as sex objects and removing taboos about sex and hedonism, often spoon-fed to us via Hollywood and Brothelwood, such incidents will if anything become the new normal. If anything, Bangalore New Year eve, along with other incidents should actually teach us what we should be doing to protect ourselves- We Protect Our Own.

    Feminists screaming about patriarchy, rape culture, misogyny, all men are bad etc can help convince a few good men, who would never rape or molest in their life, into feeling guilty about their fellow men on how evil their sex is and make them give more political power to the feminists to beat all men with, which would be justified now because all men are bad. The real low lives who engage in such activities will of course never listen to the feminist whining and will engage in such behaviour nonetheless, if they think they could get away with it, with or without feminists whining about patriarchy. So what is the solution? We Protect Our Own. We don’t allow our near and dear ones to travel alone at night unaccompanied and unprotected, specially in dangerous areas. And no, unlike what the femtards (including Hindu femtards) think, protecting your own is nothing bad or illogical. It isn’t femtards whose life or dignity which is going to be be in danger when we use fake sloganeering which won’t mean anything when it comes to results. And femtards saying we shouldn’t ask our own to be careful is no different than a moron asking us to not lock our doors claiming that robbers should be taught not to rob our houses. Nobody teaches anyone to molest women, but that doesn’t change the fact that few low lives exist nor will it actually help women with their safety. Let the femtards have their fake platitudes and slogans, but Let Us Protect Our Own. It is no different even for boys, who too are advised by their family, to not venture out late in dangerous areas of the town. Yes, women face more difficulty in this regard but throwing caution out of the window is completely foolish and self-harming.

    People blaming the police can keep blaming them all day long but nothing is going to change short of overworking them even more (they already work 10 hours a day, 365 days a year with just 12 CL/year) or increase police numbers, which isn’t going to happen, specially when we spend more money on welfare than on police and judiciary. If anything, incidents like Dhulagarh, Malda, Bangalore New Year Eve etc show how limited police power is in preventing catastrophe and civil break down. So the only sure way to protect our women is by protecting them on our own. Arm yourselves well and prepare to defend yourselves and your loved ones, or avoid such situations altogether. When police protection is so low in such huge gatherings, why even risk your loved one’s life and dignity on a vain and useless attempt to copy failed white western societies? We should dream of a Bharat where women could walk safely alone at night 12 am and we can work on that. But in the meantime- let’s be realistic and protect our own.

    The Kannadigas/South Indian chauvinists can keep blaming North Indians all they want, against evidence and data, but that still won’t change the fact that this was a completely avoidable incident and it could have been avoided if Bangalore wasn’t such a white wannabe westernised shit-hole. It is a kannada speaking shithole yes, but it is still near fully westernised with western moral values on sex and women. Teach your kids and new generation why Gods and morality from religion does not matter or how there isn’t a supernatural righteous Gods to watch their Adharmic acts, following the advice of Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, and they will turn into stellar moral pillars of society which molests women if they can get away with it. Blaming North Indians and their culture without any proof isn’t going to solve a problem caused by western morality and culture.

    Sarcasm aside, if you really care about society and safety of women, teach your kids proper Hindu culture where harming the dignity of a woman is more evil than killing someone. Copying white western values here will bring white western problems here too. The newly urbanised, westernised middle class and its hedonism driven behaviour of “muh life, muh choice” has driven down the morality on such issues to the point of absurdity. India has 20 times lower per capita rapes than west precisely because of the moral values of the Indian society. The post Nirbhaya outrage against it in Delhi should have been an eye-opener for anyone on how most Indians stand against harm to their women. In Indian society, rape is considered far graver sin than murder precisely because sex between man and woman was considered sacred and reserved within the confines of marriage. By glorifying hedonism, pre-marital sex, drunken irresponsible behaviour, society has to a large extent destroyed the sanctity of sex. That is why even asking people to stay away from irresponsible personal behaviour is now enough to invite scorn from brown westernized Indians. Having fun and enjoying life is important but where is the moderation?

    Such incidents are a good time to reflect on priors in our lives, which every nationalist should do. Name-calling each other would not solve anything neither would knee-jerk reactions. So while we fight all these evils and make our society safer, it is important to not forget that the world does not bend to our will. So “We protect our own” till things get better.

  • Alt-right is retarded and so are Hindus who take that label- Part II

    Alt-right is retarded and so are Hindus who take that label- Part II

    This is the second article in the sequence on decoding usefulness of alt-right for Hindus. Here is Part I.

    Alt-Right views on Women and Gender

    When one looks at the alt-right and its policies and ideas on gender, it will look very similar to Hindu traditionalist views on gender. But that is where the similarity ends- superficial. Other than the emphasis on strong marital values and the stance against hedonism and sexual revolution, there is little in common between the Hindu traditionalist view and the alt-right. Alt-right does not believe in the women’s suffrage to begin with. They think that the reason why their societies are decadent today was because of women being given the right to vote. Not all of them might see it that way but a significant number of them do.

    Also alt-right thinks that women should not even be allowed to work. This is again against Dharmic ethos and Dharma. Women have always worked historically. In olden days, preparing and cooking food, washing clothes, washing dishes, cleaning the house, lack of refrigerators etc meant that most of the household work women did consumed all their time to even consider working outside. Still many worked in the agricultural fields with their family and can be seen even today in rural India. Now there are lot of appliances which make all of these jobs easier or redundant. None of the above mentioned work is time consuming enough to justify wasting not working for the family. Husband and wife should work together for the betterment of the family and not because they each have to engage in ego match on whose work is more important or whose right is important.

    Of course, families need to have enough children and if the wife needs to stay home to raise the children because the grand parents are not there to take care of the children, then it is her Dharmic responsibility. In this case, the wife staying at home will be more beneficial for her children than her leaving them at the mercy of daycare shelters and working as a burger flipper at McDonalds while paying puny taxes. The point is, post marriage, rights of Man and Woman cease to exist and only the duties of Husband and Wife to their children and parents exists and whatever needs to be done to take care of and serve their families better should be undertaken by the couple. In this case, both the alt-right neo-nazis, who want the women to stay in kitchen no matter what and the Feminazis who want women to abandon their families and their duties to their children in the name of women’s liberation to work as corporate slaves are just two sides of the same coin. Hindus, if they want to preserve their strong family values, they would reject them both.

    Alt-Right morality

    Most of the alt-right in the west believes that the genocides the whites did in Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, South America and the subsequent conquest and exploitation of the natives by them was a genuine good thing for uplifting humanity. They actually believe that the Blacks were better off under their mastership. They believe that Hitler was right to kill off Jews, Churchill was right to genocide millions of Hindus. They think Martin Luther king Jr was a social justice warrior who destroyed white societies with intermingling of races and subsequently black lives as a side effect by civil rights movement, since as per their world view, the blacks were better off as slaves or sub human citizens of USA under the whites. You only need to take brief look at their blogs about slavery, abolition and their views on Hindus to make up your mind.

    Alt-Right will not help India in our fight against decadence and Feminism

    Many Hindus falsely believe that since alt-right is against Feminism and decadence, they are allies in the fight against feminism. But many don’t understand that the alt-right, like most of the westerners have this idea of women’s rights hierarchy. They have this notion that their idea of women’s rights is the best in the world while anything too far is bad while anything less is primitive.

    As the old saying goes, enemy of your enemy may not necessarily be your friend. For instance, take Breitbart, the supposedly family oriented, conservative/reactionary/alt-right website and analyse their stance on India and Indian societies. They are as likely to be anti-Indian family values as the likes of Huffington Post/NYT. This is not an aberration of the western way of thinking, as there are many examples of such double think existing throughout western history. The liberals and conservatives of the west are the two sides of the same coin as far as Hindus and Indian society is concerned. Both want our culture dead and neither of them are our allies, and alt-right is no different.
