  • The biggest losers in a feminazi world

    The biggest losers in a feminazi world

    Who are the biggest losers in an increasingly feminist world? WOMEN! But there are different shades of losers and some lose more than others. The losers are listed below in decreasing order of significance:

    1. Children– They are the biggest losers in a feminist dominated society. How does the children lose in such a society? Children lose because they are forced to grow in single parent households and sacrificed at the altar of protecting individual whims and fancies over the future generation. No fault divorce coupled with high alimony payments ensure that women have almost no incentives to maintain a healthy marital bond. Although, feminists will argue that women are not responsible for divorce but almost 80% of divorce are initiated by women!

    This problem is further exacerbated by delayed marriages and out of wedlock births. #MyLifeMyChoice type of arguments have removed the taboo from pre-marital sex as well as out of wedlock births. All this means that paternal investment in kids has gone down and the laws have left no incentive for fathers to invest in their offsprings.

    Sexual abuse of children increases in broken families

    If sexual abuse can be taken as a metric of exploitation, then kids are at the receiving end of all the abuse in broken families. The chances of a child getting abused in a broken family is several times higher than the case when a child lives with his/her biological parents. Another metric that can be employed is school performance of kids with absentee fathers. Broad survey of research shows that absentee fathers have a negative impact on school performance of kids. The article states:

    We find strong evidence that father absence negatively affects children’s social-emotional development, particularly by increasing externalizing behavior. These effects may be more pronounced if father absence occurs during early childhood than during middle childhood, and they may be more pronounced for boys than for girls. There is weaker evidence of an effect of father absence on children’s cognitive ability.

    Effects on social-emotional development persist into adolescence, for which we find strong evidence that father absence increases adolescents’ risky behavior, such as smoking or early childbearing. The evidence of an effect on adolescent cognitive ability continues to be weaker, but we do find strong and consistent negative effects of father absence on high school graduation. The latter finding suggests that the effects on educational attainment operate by increasing problem behaviors rather than by impairing cognitive ability.

    So laws that lead to broken families in turn harm future of children. And there should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that the primary goal of many feminists is destruction of family which in turn can be interpreted as destruction of childhood. The failure of blacks in American society can be traced back to broken homes and large number of out of wedlock births and absence of fathers in African-American society.

    1. Lower class females– The second biggest losers in a feminized setting are lower class women. Although high class women also end up as cat ladies due to feminist indoctrination and male hate but the biggest casualty is borne by lower class females. They lose out by bearing the feminist assault on family structure. While high class women preach feminism to their lower class sisters, they themselves are much less likely to divorce as compared to low class women. The study by Isen and Stevenson gives details on education attainment and divorce rates.

    Three things become immediately clear from the above data for US. Firstly, the rate of divorce has increased since 1950s for all classes (both race and sex). Secondly, the rate of divorce has strictly been higher for high educated females. Thirdly, percentage of divorce for blacks has been higher than whites. Since education and gender both determine an individual’s class in US, it is more than abundantly clear that lower class females have been on the receiving end of new legislations.

    Not only the richer females are less likely to divorce but they also end up with high alimony settlements and a comfortable lifestyle while their poorer sisters are left out in the wild without a mate plus dependent on welfare state given low/negligible alimony payments. At the same time, while the richer women still have the option to opt out of work in case of a divorce (or even within a marriage), the lower class women have no option to opt out of workforce and have to almost always support themselves and their children, often living life on subsistence, while flipping burgers in McD. The problems of black families are increased many fold due to the breakdown of their family institution and hence black women are even bigger losers.

    1. Lower class males– The lower class males lose due to decrease in their SMV and decrease in chances of landing up with a mate. Since women display hypergamy and have also increasingly joined the workforce, the role of lower class males as bread earners has diminished and they now have almost no utility for the modern female. If a women is unable to find a job she has nanny state to help her live on. Thus, most males on the lowest level of social pyramid find it almost impossible to attract any female.

    Also breakdown of social taboos on sexual relationships means that women are free to pursue alpha males leaving the betas of the old alone and lonely. Such men only have chance of ending up with an old female once she is past her prime fertile age and does not any longer have better options. Since society does not put any pressure on their youth to get married early, an entire generation of low value men are restricted to their parent’s basement and increasingly pursue other hobbies to hide their failure at attracting women. This is reflected in the coinage of terms like herbivore men in Japan and MGTOWs in the west.

    Whether the external impulses like porn, video games etc are able to compensate for life long partnership with women for these men is yet to be seen, but low SMV men are increasingly opting out of the society.

    1. Super high class women– These are the women at the top of the pyramid and are unable to find men who can overcompensate their value. Feminism has brainwashed entire generation of women and has de-emphasized the value of maternity and children. Women who are increasingly successful in corporate careers find it increasingly difficult to find potential mates who are better than them. While successful men have no problem in marrying down and settling for a less value women, female hypergamy ensures that highly successful women end up alone.

    Another factor which hurt these women is the blind pursual of career over family, thus forcing them to waste their best fertile years as corporate slaves. By the time they realize their folly, they are well past their prime age to attract high value men, who are interested in other younger women. The same women then shout at men to man up.

    While few women might be happy with being corporate slaves but many end up bitter in their old lives by giving up on timely maternity. Although marriage is not important for having children but the mad race for jumping corporate hoops ensure that successful corporate women delay child bearing to win cut-throat competition. While these women might bed best males during their small fertile youthful period, their value decreases exponentially with age, thus making them resentful later on in life due to male rejection. The rise of the cat ladies to douse the maternal instincts is a modern phenomenon, thanks to the propaganda against motherhood by feminazis.

    Who wins?

    Not everyone loses in such a society! The winners are high SMV men who get unbridled supply of young emancipated women ready to sleep with them without the burden of marriage. Although any male with an interest in family has to act over-cautious in such a society but if the idea is to be a philanderer than no society offers better options for a high SMV men. In case these men decide to tie the knot, since educated women have lower divorce rates, it also means they do not get a raw deal like their poorer counterparts. It is an almost win-win situation for them in each case. Just to emphasize, these men lose the most in a patriarchal society due to reduced access to prime fertile women and have almost all the reasons to support feminazi agenda.

    The question now is- where does India want to end up with its increasingly anti-family legislation?

  • Coldplay and the art of delivering Gospel Message

    Coldplay and the art of delivering Gospel Message

    Hollywood and western pop culture is increasingly depicting Indian — rather Hindu — iconography in its art these days. Movies like Life of Pi have left a spiritual mark on the western audience but most often this pop culture panders to specific western taste and secularizes the rituals by taking them out of context. In the long list of false portrayals, ColdPlay came out with a mediocre song called “Hymn for the Weekend” this year and it got famous on the back of the video they shot in India depicting Hindu life. Times have moved from outright contempt for Hindus as shown in movies like Slumdog Millionaire to subtle cues left in this video.

    Video: ColdPlay — Hymn for the Weekend (Official Video)
    Original embed unavailable in supplied archive — open a YouTube search for the referenced video.

    The video tries to portray Indian religion as a “colourful fancy culture” as opposed to “true religion.” The west subtly tries to discredit Hindu religion by isolating the theological connotations from our customs by making it look like colours, song and dance. So Holi becomes a fancy festival of colours as opposed to the victory of Pralhad over Holika. Diwali becomes a festival of light as opposed to the victory of Ram. Yogi becomes just another street performer, little Shiva becomes just another fancy dress, Varanasi becomes just another beach, the saffron flag becomes just a rag on top of a stick and all the kids are malnourished. This is Slumdog Millionaire Ver 2.0 — all they had to do was add a snake charmer scene and it would have been the wet dream of a racist evangelist.

    In any case the video still manages to push the Christian cultural agenda. If you notice at the end the kids are watching projector images which say “Maria Mata” — which in vernacular languages refers to Mother Mary. Have you seen a more subtle way of delivering a gospel message?

    Now watch that video again to understand the context. You will realise that Beyonce — known by her fans as “the queen” — has postured herself as Maria Mata civilizing the exotic pagans who love song, dance and colours. She is trying to execute the white man’s burden (ironic, since she is a black woman and victim of the white man’s burden herself!).

    If Indians were to commit similar blasphemy, what would they have to do? Just to give an analogy, this video would be the moral equivalent of Rani Mukherjee going to the US, putting black paint on her face and picking cotton with the good old Negroes on the plantation to “show the beauty of American culture.”

    There are other nuances which are strategically placed to add context to the Holi and Diwali celebrations portrayed in the first half of the video. The first 70% of the video is full of stereotypes dedicated to establishing to the western audience the “Indianness” of the subjects portrayed — as the west sees it — which they use in the latter part of the video to reinforce their Christian iconography when they show those “die-hard Indians” thronging to hear Mata’s message. It is an euphemism for the openness of all kinds of people to the grace of the gospel.

    Although one can say that we are reading too much into the video, given the western assaults on pagan Hindu traditions in academia and elsewhere it is difficult to reject that it has not been done intentionally to pander to the populist views of westerners. How could it be just a spontaneous coincidence to find fancy-dress Hanuman, Shiva, Holi and Sadhus in one video? Unless of course their presence was arranged to aid the furtherance of a certain message — and the message is: no matter how strong your native culture is, there will always be takers for “our message.”

    Probably the Church algorithm works in the following way. First come out with a diktat and when people oppose it, use propaganda to resist the people’s views as long as possible until the Church starts losing adherents. But when they see that many are disobeying the diktat and the Church will lose a significant amount of followers, they change. That is how they tackled the “problems” of abortion and gay rights. They resisted as long as they could, but once they realized that the popular backlash was too strong and people were moving away from religion, they made peace with it — and the Pope came out in support of gay rights out of the blue. This itself belies their claim of being the “divine word of God.” Nothing divine about it if you keep changing it for political convenience. Retaining power IS your moral stance.

    The “strategic thinkers” in the Christian community see the pagan rituals as a threat and have copied their rituals from a very long time — the Easter egg being a prime example. Either they try to ban pagan rituals or appropriate them in global culture. Now the west has started a copycat festival of colours called Color Run, in order to appropriate Hindu culture and take away our USP. The fact that they responded, and responded so fast, means that there IS probably a central thinker who IS keeping an eye on us and playing it like a chess game — unlike seculars who say “No, there is no Christian agenda. You are seeing too much.”

    P.S. To add some insult, the video also features a 5-second clip of Sonam Kapoor. But maybe she deserves this treatment for being hungry for appreciation from western mlecchas!

  • Muslim evolutionary strategy vs Hindu Prisoner’s Dilemma

    Muslim evolutionary strategy vs Hindu Prisoner’s Dilemma

    The world belongs to those who show up.

    The above quote delivers the hard hitting message of importance of demography in as few words as possible. If your offsprings do not show up, then they would definitely not rule the world. Demography moves very slow and hence most people do not see the impeding crisis before it hits them hard, which is one of the reasons that Yuga Parivartan repeatedly carries articles on importance of maintaining demographic superiority for survival of Hindus. Given the current environment this always boils down to suggesting Hindus on taking the lead and maintaining decent TFR to counter high Muslim fertility. Are there other policies which can work? Probably, but only to certain extent. Still the most robust among all of them is for Hindus to have enough kids. Does this mean they have to breed like rats and change their evolutionary strategy of raising quality kids?

    One has to look at operation of Jihad doctrine closely to realize what Hindus are up against. The basic strategy works in the following way:

    1. Create resource crunch
    2. Cry victimhood and blame the rest
    3. Organize and fight

    How do you go and create resource crunch? A good way to create resource crunch is to have enough offspring who all will demand out of some fixed resource thereby creating scarcity. Although modern science has taken care of basic needs but it still does not solve scarcity problems on an individual level, specially for societies with low human capital and preference for doleouts. The vehement opposition of birth control by Muslims thus comes handy in creating resource crunch by having large population size. This strategy is used when Muslims are a minority and they rapidly breed to overwhelm the opposition.

    In evolutionary sense, humans like other large species are K-selected because they produce fewer offsprings and trade quality for quantity. K-selected species are usually larger and live in stable environments and hence need fewer offspring to ensure that they pass on their genes to future generations. Number of offsprings is also restricted by the energy requirement for producing each individual, which you can also think of as pregnancy length. On the other hand, the r-selected species are small in size and produce large number of offsprings, which are cheap to manufacture, so as to survive unstable environments. So, r-selected organisms produce large number of individuals which also die off in large numbers and in the end the population size is governed by carrying capacity of the environment. For example, frogs have a large number of offsprings and many die before maturing due to resource crunch as dictated by the pond they live in.

    In an extreme sense, Muslims are turning K-selection of humans on its head. While the biological restrictions still remain the same as for any K-selected species but the strategic game played by Muslims has increasingly become r-selected, where focus is completely on quantity rather than quality. So an average Muslim will produce larger number of offspring and engage in lower parental investment. Although Muslim women still take nine months during pregnancy like everyone else, but post birth investment is low. Average Muslim matures early because he has to support himself as well as his family and find some job. While his Hindu counterpart will waste time till early 20s earning various degrees, a Muslim will find the easiest employment for supporting himself and his family. The nature of job is unimportant as long as it brings some money and help building his own new nest and the cycle continues. This also gets reflected in lower average life expectancy of a Muslim compared to others.

    Given biological constraints, this is the closest any large mammal can get to r-selection. The unstudied part of this evolutionary strategy is that this mechanism in case of Muslims is employed to generate resource crunch deliberately. Unlike frogs where r-selection is chosen by nature, Muslim strategy is a well thought out process. So, while Hindus might still believe in quality over quantity argument but it would not work since Muslims will push the environment towards resource constraint by increasingly building up a larger population. So, does Hindus have any other option than what some claim as breeding like rats?

    To understand the possible strategies for Hindus, one has to go back to the 60s and look at it in the context of arms race between US and USSR. It can also be reformulated in terms of well studied game theory concept called prisoner’s dilemma. The goal of Muslims is to achieve demographic superiority, just like US/USSR had to achieve nuclear dominance over the other power.

    Prisoner’s dilemma comes from the simple game with two players and two options. In the case of nuclear arms race, the two players are Nation A and B, which can exercise the options of Arm or Disarm. Since there are two options for each nation, it generates four cases. For each case, the payoff for A is in green, while for B in blue. In case both decide to Disarm, both get a payoff of 3 each, while if they single-handedly defect and build up an arsenal they get 4. If A knows that B will play Disarm, it is always optimal for A to arm itself and get 4 and reduce the payoff of B to 1. Since Arm is a dominating strategy, the two players who know this game will always choose to Arm instead of Disarm and get lower payoff of 2 each, instead of cooperative payoff of 3 each, in case each had decided to Disarm. This decreased payoff can be thought of as the investment needed in maintenance of nuclear stockpile.

    The same example can be extended to the Hindu-Muslim demographic situation and replace options of Arm/Disarm with Have 5 kids/Not have 5 kids. Each religion is better off by having fewer kids and focus on quality of children, but having more kids gives chance of dominating the culture and wiping off the enemy. So, if one side is known to have preference for having 5 kids, the other has no option but to resort to lower payoff and have more kids. This is a prisoner’s dilemma style situation where both the players choose sub-optimal action. Understanding this basic game explains why US/USSR rationally decided to stockpile nuclear arsenal.

    Although some caveats need to be mentioned for the demographic case. Firstly, Hindus have a majority right now and have all the reasons to maintain demographic surplus. If they lose demographic surplus, they would open India up to become next Pakistan. The game of prisoner’s dilemma still holds true even if one side has current advantage. Secondly, the propaganda against population has driven Hindus to become IQ shredders and this is an extreme case even for prisoner dilemma game. The “No child” or “1 child” option is below the replacement fertility level of 2.1 children/woman. Technically speaking 1 child preference, specially in south and urban areas, is not a great outcome even if there were no Muslims in the picture and there was no prisoner’s dilemma. So it is important for the average Hindu to reproduce at slightly above replacement i.e. 3 kids instead of 5 but 5 is the ideal given Muslim problem.

    Hindus, while still in majority, already find themselves in a soup due to diversity in beliefs and traditions and mutually non-aligned interests. One could easily imagine the problems that they will have to face once they lose the only advantage they have right now, which is demography. The way US-USSR found themselves in confrontation with one another and lack of options other than stockpiling nuclear arsenal, Hindus too are caught up in this mad race, the only difference being the impact of demography are too slow to alarm and too difficult to reverse once set in motion. So while US-USSR stockpiled nukes, Hindus are still smug in their majority. The example of Assam serves as a useful example to understand how unchecked immigration of Bengali Muslims from 100 years ago have come to haunt the Brahmaputra Valley now and will continue to do so in the future. A demographic prisoner’s dilemma is played out in front of everyone’s eyes but Hindus do not seem to understand its manifestations. Also, if Muslims have decided to act like r-selected species, they are also more than happy to live in unstable environment and survive purely on the basis of higher fertility. The K-selected species of Hindus, unless they re-evaluate their strategy, will find it hard to survive given their pining for stable environment. Other than matching Muslim fertility trends, nothing less than revamping the whole constitution and putting explicit ban on Muslim fertility can change current demographic trends. Being stuck in a prisoner’s dilemma is not optimal, but this is where Hindus stand today and the modern Indian state cannot in any way stop the r-selection strategy adopted by the Muslims.

  • Celebrate Independence day and send Rakhi to soldiers

    Celebrate Independence day and send Rakhi to soldiers

    Some people never miss a chance to bring misfortune and the media cabal is best at playing spoilsport on every glorious occasion. NDTV has again done what it does best i.e. undermine national pride and this time it is about Independence day. One of the debates hosted on the channel lamented about giants flags and Rakhi on this occasion.

    Probably the channel is miffed at how GoI can come up with a plan to celebrate Independence day and club it with Hindu festival of Rakhi. When thug news channels like NDTV start attacking symbolic celebrations, it means they have gone bankrupt with both content and morality or they are up to greater plan of sowing seeds of despondency in the name of alternative expression of speech or just for the heck of paddling their good for nothing Leftist garbage.

    But somehow showing faith in our soldiers and showering them with love through sending Rakhi is objectionable to the presstitutes. For most of the nation these ostentatious celebrations are conventions but they are nevertheless important for continuity and faith in our nation. Also, it has more valuable meaning for people who are directly involved in these celebrations. Is there a better way to show our gratitude for the soldiers who fight and sacrifice their lives for us?

    So, what should you do for the Independence day this year? Here is what we would suggest:

    1) Ignore the leftist trolls for a day. Make them jealous by posting pics with the tri-color

    2) Spend quality time with your family and throw a feast

    3) Show your gratitude to soldiers and send a rakhi or tie one yourself if you live close to cantonment

    4) Read about the sacrifices made by the bravehearts for and after independence to keep their spirit alive. They are our true heroes.

  • USA should change its name to United States of Barbaria

    USA should change its name to United States of Barbaria

    From Game of Thrones to McDonalds, there is unhealthy liking for the American culture among Indians and for all the wrong reasons. American culture, as they like to call it themselves is actually not a culture at all. Truth is that they are a bunch of barbarians with no history of their own and have to borrow their history from other barbarians like Anglo-Saxons, who themselves were barbarians and got civilised by Rome and now delude themselves as descendants of Rome, because without it their history before 500AD is that of barbarity, loot and rape unlike India which has had a long and continuous history of 5000 years at least, dating back to the Indus Valley Civilisation. History aside, even now there is no American culture or civilisation. Look at the points below and judge for yourself if you would like to call it a culture:

    1. The average bastard rate in USB – 40%
    2. The percentage of single mothers and divorce rates in USB – 50%
    3. US actually has one of the highest rape rates in the world– it has four times higher number of rapes than India despite having four times lower population.
    4. Land of prisoners- highest incarceration rate in the world while India has the lowest and also lowest crime figures.
    5. Average obesity levels of 33% i.e. unhealthy general population

    Given the above statistics, it becomes difficult to define American culture. Is it the culture of highest rapes in the world? Or is it the highest obesity rate in the world? Or is it great due to the highest number of single mothers in the world or by the highest number of bastards in the world? Or due to the highest number of prisoners in the world?

    But don’t fault an average American for all this. Being an Anglo-Saxon barbarian, as opposed to being a descendant of living civilisation like India, their society was expected to be barbarian. Faulting them for being barbaric uncultured bastards with highest rapes in the world is like faulting an animal for being an animal. Does someone fault a rabid dog for biting? Is a dog conscious of being a rabid dog? Of course not. It is just its nature and illness. But as civilized human beings, one should keep clear of a rabid dog.

    Being born without a history or father or culture or anything other than money like the USB, is not in their hands. Hence mocking them is wrong and bad. Indians should keep it in mind whenever they think if America’s bastard rate, single mothers, rape crisis or lack of actual history or civilisation. Also, do remember that nobody chastises a pig for eating shit and hence one should not castigate the Americans for the ills afflicting their society. But on the other hand, Indians should think several times before they try to emulate the society of bastards and their glorious culture with haste.

    The funniest thing about Americans is this- being a history less bastard descendants of Anglo-Saxon barbarians, the ingenious way they try to have a history is by claiming to be western “civilization”, i.e. descendants of Rome and Greece, even though neither had anything to do with Anglo-Saxon barbarians as per real history. To demonstrate how pathetic this claim is, just to give an analogy, imagine a person claiming that his neighbour is his father/dad just because his own father is poor or absent. That is how the Americans claim to be descendants of Rome/Greece is, as they claim that they are the western civilization and culture since they themselves don’t have any culture or history of their own, except that of killing, slavery, loot and plunder. For Indians, this paragraph would probably appear to be the most insulting to Americans in the whole post. But one has to doubt if an average American Joe would understand the gravity of insult in this paragraph as being a bastard and claiming other men as their own fathers because of their own illegitimacy, is probably not a big deal in USB i.e. the country of bastards. So it might be that this insult might fly right past and unnoticed by an average American.

    To hide their insecurities and rotten society, this wannabe civilisation and culture resorts to blaming Indians and highlight non-issues while hiding their own problems. The hypocrisy of American stance in most of these cases is like of those parents of a failed high school kid, who chastise their neighbours on low marks of their kid in post graduate course to hide failure of their own offspring. Any sane person would suggest such parents to focus on their own failed high school kid rather than make an issue out of the neighbour’s kid.

    Indians are a living civilization with glorious past and self correction over time. It is the biggest insult to take advice from such barbarians, who not only don’t have any culture but also don’t have any religion of their own. For all their barbarity, Arabs can at least claim to have their own culture and religion while most Americans worship a dead middle-eastern Jew from Asia while at the same time trying to be a cheap knock off of the Roman empire and ancient Greece. For instance, when Americans talk about caste system in India, they completely forget that they are a society which had legalized slavery till 19th century. On top, it is the only country in the world which had to fight a civil war to abolish this inhuman practice of slavery and still did not give full civil rights to blacks till 1970s, almost 100 years after fighting the civil war for freeing black. Now imagine the gall of the same uncivilized people lecturing the world on human rights when they themselves suppressed the rights of their own population till a few decades ago.

    But as argued before, it is not their fault that they don’t realize how pathetic their society is. After all a dog does not know that its wrong to bark at the sun nor does a pig know that eating crap is unhygienic. So living like animals like the Americans do now is also not their fault, its just what a culture epitomized by current Hollywood of drugs, single mothers, bastards, illegitimate claims of being descendants of a civilization or illegitimate claims of having a culture in the first place will look like. So Indians should not be insensitive to them and mock them for what they are. It is just in their genes. But Indians can still debate on how to call USB- United State of Barbaria or United States of Bastards?

  • Why India fails at Olympics

    Why India fails at Olympics

    As expected Indian hopes are once again getting crushed at Rio Olympics. Reams of paper have been wasted on explaining why India performs so badly in sports. In the end, it boils down to two arguments:

    1. Nature (i.e. genes)
    2. Nurture (i.e. institutional infrastructure)

    It is the same argument which is usually evoked while talking about educational outcomes. The genetic buildup of student and style of teaching/facilities both matter for the educational outcome. But what makes sports at Olympics different than educational outcome is that in the first case it is only the “crème de la crème”, i.e. only the very best, which matter. So, the average genetic makeup, although important, is not the only reason for bad performance.

    A lot of Indians fall for the first argument, while it is the latter which matters equally. If genetics were the only reason for performance, then countries would not go up or down on the medal tally. Comparing Russia against China makes this point abundantly.

    Some quick points to notice here. Russians are slipping down the medal tally while Chinese have been on an upswing since their second debut in 1984. The number of Russian athletes participating at the Olympics has not gone down but they are winning fewer medals as well as gold medals. If this trend continues we would see further fall in Russian medal haul, which points towards deteriorating sporting facilities in Russia. This can become worse over time as Russia will lose key strategists and coaches over time if it does not perform well thereby losing historical advantage over time. China on the other hand is supposedly a poor country, with poor genetics but it is getting stronger year after year. Anyone who has gone to China can confirm the small size of an average Chinese. Even malnourished Indians look like giants in front of an average Chinese person. If it were just about genetics then China would have never made it to the top of the medal tally. So, what is working in favour of China?

    This brings us to the second important point which is population size. The above graph gives population per medal and so darker green areas mean that more medals are won per capita. What is interesting to note here is that both India and China are white, i.e. they both win few medals per capita although China wins a lot of medals while India wins almost none. China produces one Olympic medal for every 15 million people, while India takes 206 million. You can check more similar maps here. So technically speaking big population gives a big advantage not just to China but other decent performing countries with high population like in South America. So the genetic argument looks a little bit weak when you can choose from 15 million people like in case of China!

    So Indians can have a bad genetic makeup which is not suited for sports for the general population but it should not stop them from producing decent sportsmen who can win few medals at the Olympics. Now let’s look at some of the prominent Indian athletes to further understand the problem:

    Sushil Kumar: Sushil Kumar was born in a Hindu Jat family of Baprola village, near Najafgarh in South West Delhi. His father, Diwan Singh, was a DTC bus driver, while his mother, Kamla Devi, is a housewife.

    Vijender Singh: His father, Mahipal Singh Beniwal, is a bus driver with the Haryana Roadways, while his mother is a homemaker. His father drove extra buses for overtime pay so as to pay for Vijender and his elder brother Manoj’s education.

    Mary Kom: Kom was born in Kangathei, in Churachandpur district of Manipur in eastern India. Her parents, Mangte Tonpa Kom and Mangte Akham Kom, worked in jhum fields.

    These are just few examples to show the background of most of our athletes. Except the shooters like Abhinav Bindra and Gagan Narang, most come from very humble background. Sports is make or break for many of them and many give it up for lack of support from the government and sports agencies. Also, most of them start their career late and usually give up as soon as they land up some decent job. Olympics is not just about talent any more and need intensive training and proper nutrition. And given social apathy, it is surprising that India can churn out a few sportsmen.

    So unless GoI decides to focus on sports to increase medal tally in the future or rich Indians take up sports in big numbers, India will continue to see itself at the bottom of medal tally. In the meantime, India should thank its bus driver and farmer parents for showing immense courage to help support sporting dreams of their kids.

    Till then enjoy the Olympic spirit.

  • Has PM Modi discredited the whole cow protection movement

    Has PM Modi discredited the whole cow protection movement

    If you want to excel at running by the agenda of other people, you just have to learn the art of putting foot in the mouth from BJP. This time no one else, but the mascot of hardcore Hindutva before 2014 i.e. PM Modi has capitulated in front of the demands of Christlamists by denouncing those who try to protect cows under gross negligence of duty by the Indian state.

    Yes, there have been instances of vigilantism, but cow protection is close to the heart of most un-deracinated Hindus, who still do not take pride in eating beef. We at Yuga Parivartan have already written detailed account on rise of vigilantism for cow protection, which has risen not due to increased Hindutva forces but state apathy towards cow protection after passing legislation for cow protection and being duty bound to uphold it.

    Sadly, while blaming the vigilantes PM Modi completely side-stepped the issue of cow smuggling. Why do you think in BJP ruled states people have to resort to cow vigilantism? If BJP governments were strict, there would hardly be any cases of vigilantism.

    But let us get back to the bigger issue and ramifications of this statement. With a single statement:

    1) PM has de-legitimized the whole movement to protect cows. Most GauRakshaks are now painted as extremist hooligans.

    2) There was no mention of cow slaughter, so MSM is free to twist the statements and harass cow protectors.

    3) It will alienate the core Hindutva supporters of BJP.

    As a master politician, PM Modi should have understood these ramifications. It is important to underline that Modi is the same politician who refused to give any statements about 2002 riots before the run up to 2014 elections. Had he raised the issue of plastics along with the illegal cow smuggling, it would still have been understandable.

    In any case, silence is golden. Have you ever heard a leftist disown Naxal cause? Or a Muslim disown Kashmir militants? Probably BJP and Modi need to learn a lot from their adversaries.

    EDIT: After the speech, the tweets sent by PM as well as the clarification issued out today points towards the fact that PM Modi realised that his statements were far from clear on cow protection issue.

    Clarification: Cow protection is important Hindu issue and does not directly translate into vigilantism. But for the latter to not happen, state governments should strictly enforce cow protection laws.

  • How Assam ended up in a mess- a tale of greed

    How Assam ended up in a mess- a tale of greed

    Assam saw a brutal terrorist attack today. The land which strongly repulsed Mughal forces back at the heights of Mughal power has no option but to watch in horror as events unfold today. The fate of Assam was sealed some hundred years ago when greed took over and changed the demographics of this place forever.

    A once quiet place had big potential for tea plantation which was exploited to the hilt by the then powers.

    The area under tea plantation steadily went up beginning 1881, which quadrupled in the following five decades. The cheap labour needed for tea plantations were brought from other areas in Bengal and Bihar. The migration which was initially forced upon by the British colonial system was later endorsed by the middle class, which was convinced that no economic progress can take place without immigration.

    What made the problem worse was that most of the immigrants were poor Muslims from Bengal. Comparing the data, one can immediately see that predominantly Muslims were migrating to Assam. Almost every decade saw an increase in Muslims in Assam due to immigration, since 80% of the migrants were Muslim.

    To completely understand the impact of immigration on Assam, the above table comes handy — it gives the total percentage of immigrants in the original stock. It is an unprecedented story of mass immigration where in five decades the immigrant population rose from 5.3% in 1881 to 26.6% in 1931. Since almost 80% of these immigrants were Muslims, this increased the stock of Muslim population by more than 20% in five decades.

    The history of the Brahmaputra Valley for the last five decades is defined by events which took place more than 100 years ago. The hate for non-natives in Assam is very well justified due to the increased pressure on natural resources in the valley. This was a constant problem even at the time of the first phases of immigration as Assam lacked food grains, which had to be regularly imported from other areas. The once contractual workers who came for short durations kept settling down, thereby increasing pressure on resources further.

    Modern independent India did not reverse the problem but further exacerbated it by allowing unhindered immigration post independence. If you look at the current position of the state, Muslims are roughly 39% of the population in the 2011 census, which is supposed to cross 50% in the next three to four decades.

    The economic greed which changed the demographics of the state some hundred years ago charted the course of collision for the next hundred years. Those who think the Assam problem can be solved by development have ignored the historical reasons for the conflict, which will increasingly take religious fervour in the future. Even those who think about the idea of deporting illegal Bangladeshis only contemplate sending back those who came post 1971 — i.e. after the formation of Bangladesh. But will it solve the problem? Probably not. The damage was already completed in 1931. Muslims outbreeding other communities when in minority is a proven fact. So throwing back those who immigrated after 1971 can solve the problem momentarily by buying some time, but it will only push the conflict to the future as Assam will become a tinderbox again. Any migrant cut-off date less than 1881 won’t change the fate of the Brahmaputra Valley.

    The army of Aurangzeb must be laughing in its grave on how the Assamese willingly or unwillingly brought their own doom — after having successfully resisted the hordes of barbarians some three centuries ago.

  • Vigilantism of GauRakshaks- lies peddled by media

    Vigilantism of GauRakshaks- lies peddled by media

    Every once in a while, cow protection and associated vigilantism makes news in the national media. It is not difficult to guess that any time Hindu ideals and beliefs are up on stake, the national media and so called leftist intelligentsia tries every text book trick to denigrate their traditions.

    But all this drama, arguments and counter-arguments, is noise and makes it hard to focus on underlying reasons for vigilantism. To understand the real problem afflicting Bharat, one needs to go deeper and understand. India is a weak state which likes to legislate new laws every other day but which are difficult to enforce.

    Lets talk about simple case of stealing. Have you ever tried to register a case with the police for normal theft? Police is usually disinclined to catch thieves and would hardly pay any attention to solve such crimes. So, what happens once in a while? Every once in a while people catch some thief red-handed and give a nice thrashing to make an example out of it. Is it civilized way of dealing with petty thieves? Probably not. What does it points towards? It points toward a weak state which loves to legislate but cannot enforce law.

    With this information, now go back to the case of cow protection. Most states in India have cow protection laws which like other laws do not get enforced properly. Cow protection vigilantism is no good. But if the state does not enforce law, those who are emotionally involved will take some action given the state has itself enacted the law but does not want to enforce it.

    Cow vigilantism is just another face of state failure. Better enforcement of cow protection should bring down cow vigilantism because people would not have to enforce cow protection themselves, and not increase vigilantism as claimed by the liars in the media.

    And don’t forget that the usual suspects will try to divert the attention towards food habits and oppression of dalits and club them with Muslims, but that does not even lie at the heart of this matter. For now, cow protection is part of legislation and hence it is duty of the state to religiously enforce it. All concerned citizens should think about how to improve the public service delivery. Cow vigilantes signify a deeper malaise afflicting the Indian state.

  • Accidental tweet by Irfan Habib shows his true Islamist colors

    Accidental tweet by Irfan Habib shows his true Islamist colors

    In a rare Twitter exchange between Irfan Habib and a fellow twitteratti exposed the real side of the Indian historian. There was a tweet by a twitterati on how Islam is a religion of violence and their holy month of Ramzan represents the time most sacred for Muslims to kill non-Muslims.

    But the notorious historian commented on how Ramazan is also a month where Muslims were also killed by Jihadists in large numbers and that it’s not just kafirs who are getting killed.

    The article argues that this was a rare display of the historian’s underlying Islamist bias, usually obscured beneath Marxist terminology in history writing.

    It then criticizes the disproportionate coverage of Islamic dynasties in Indian history textbooks while the Cholas, Marathas, Vijayanagara and other Hindu empires receive less attention.

    The article concludes by asking what the BJP government is doing to correct what it sees as an injustice against Hindus in the education system.
