Indian feminist stories- part I

Disclaimer: This is a work of fan fiction. Hence all characters in this story belong to @blog_supplement and not to me. The stories are all meant to be in humour and not to offend anyone.

Part 1

It was the start of the summer holidays before Lootika and Somakhya’s fourth year at MT university and Vidrum and Somakhya were sitting in the cricket field near their house chatting. Lootika had been with them for a while before they came to the field as they had gone together to the great MT shrine near the university to pay their respects. Vidrum had asked Lootika (much to Somakhya’s ire) whether she would be interested in staying in the field along with them so that she could do some cheer leading for them and added that Somakhya might enjoy it very much. She declined and said that she had to go to her house so Somakhya and Vidrum ended up sitting on the field ground for a while after they had finished a little practice for the big match at the university.

“The big match is going to be amazing,” commented Vidrum. “This is probably the first time everyone is taking it very seriously.”

“And they should,” said Somakhya. “Did you take a look at the team makeup? All the marunmattas are on the opposite team while all the hindus and secular hindus are on our team. This is analogous to India vs Pakistan. Especially since there are a lot of secular Islamophile moles in our team begging us not to stress ourselves out for the match and saying things like not having any girls in our team clearly shows our patriarchal nature despite the fact that this is supposed to be an all-male team and our opponents would never have any girls even if it wasn’t.”

“Oh please,” said Vidrum waving his hand. “You always think of everything in terms of marunmattas and pretas and all. Sit back and relax and enjoy the classic Indian entertainments – things like cricket, bollywood, samosas, fair-skinned Punjabi women and all.”

“We have to be a little serious about our country and our future,” chided Somakhya. “Just last week Lootika and I received a small reward from our esteemed security adviser Ajit Goval for our little contribution to his operation in the Sunderbans. We automatically gained a lot of followers on Bitter rather than those one or two bot followers we had previously. Lootika now has 10k followers on Bitter and PM Moody even promised us that he will follow both our handles for our insights but he has not done so till now.”

“Wow!” said Vidrum. “But wait, how many followers do you have now?”

Somakhya looked a little taken aback. “Well…. just 300 now. I suspect it has something to do with the differences between Lootika’s BP (twist on DP 🙂 ) and mine. Especially when a lot of secular and marunmatta guys seem to follow her and not me, one would guess it is because of something more than the content of her beets.”

“I am not on Bitter,” said Vidrum stroking his chin. “Meghana persuaded me not to join because she was complaining that there were too many Findus on it and she said they are always bitter about something.”

Suddenly Vidrum and Somakhya noticed that Lootika had left her water bottle with them. Vidrum picked it up and some water spilled out onto the grass. Somakhya’s eye widened as she saw the grass glisten and turn slightly white in colour where the water had fallen.

“That looks really familiar and ominous,” said Somakhya pointing to it. “Come, we have to go to the lab immediately. Get that water bottle along with you!”

Vidrum didn’t understand much but he ran along with Somakhya to the university. On the way they ran into Sharvamanyu who was just on his way back home.

“Hey Somakhya!” he called out.

“I do not have much time now,” insisted Somakhya. “Tell me some other time Sharvamanyu.”

“But this is really important,” said Sharvamanyu. “I saw that uber marunmatta guy Abdul Khan snooping around your third year chemistry lab this morning while all of you were busy in class. He seemed to be very interested in checking yours and Lootika’s samples and work. I think he must have gotten access to the lab from your brain-in-the-mud secular classmate Vishal.”

“Thanks for the info,” said Somakhya and continued to drag Vidrum along with him to the university gate.

“Abdul Khan?” said Vidrum suddenly. “I know him partly because Meghana always speaks about him. He is the son of a very rich businessman and president of the Sickular Students Union as well as the president of the Oppressed Minorities of MT University Sympathy and Charity Club on our campus. He is also the de facto head of the Bollywood club on campus but actually he makes some secular Hindu guy karan kohar do all the organizational work in it while he just goes once in a while to pose on stage and bang the chicks later. He was rated as most sexy and progressive man by the weekly MT university feminist magazine and received similar praise and approval from the LGBT on campus club. Incidentally he is also the head of our opponent team in the big match even though he can’t play cricket.”

“Seems like a complete asshole to me,” said Somakhya.

“Well actually that’s not how Meghana described him much to my dismay,” said Vidrum sighing.

“Either way if he was snooping around our lab it can only mean trouble. The esteemed founders of our university would be quite upset to see the state of it today with all the secular preta-influenced and marunmatta clubs and societies in our campus.”

Somakhya and Vidrum entered the lab with their access card and Somakhya took the water bottle and began analysing its contents with her microscope. Vidrum took a seat next to him and casually looked at a MT uni-feminist magazine that someone left on the table. One article in the middle of it read “Don’t be fooled! Women can be misogynists too!” The article went on to describe a third year biology major student named Lootika who had a fascist handle on Bitter and had notoriously gained popularity recently. It described her as an evil witch that was certainly a curse on womankind. The article also mentioned while they could not make much sense out of her obscure, complicated beets what they could tell was that she was a fascist and that the most blasphemous thing about her was that she did not think Bollywood was cool. The writers of the article ended saying that they noticed the fact that some secular guys who had proclaimed themselves as lovers of feminists had decided to follow her handle and if they do not immediately stop taking interest in Lootika then they would face the full consequences of feminist rage. Vidrum flipped to the next page and saw that the next article was about how men should control their rage and not be curious to find out who a woman is following on Bitter.

“Aha! I guessed correctly!” Said Somakhya suddenly. “The water in Lootika’s bottle has Buckminister-phosphate-guanocytosine-looti-meghite mixed into it!”

“What? What! What?!!” Said Vidrum.

“Come on its not that complicated, its just Buckminister-phosphate-guanocytosine-looti-meghite,” said Somakhya with a shrug. “Oh I see. You don’t know about it because Lootika and I dropped the idea of publishing a research article on it because the idea is trivial and also would lack funding. Basically its a simple chemical we discovered that tastes exactly like water but can be used to transform a Lootika into a Meghana. One of our most peculiar discoveries.”

“Oh how is it made?” asked Vidrum trying to stop the throbbing in his head.

“Well first you take a strand of hair from both Lootika and Meghana and tie them together and then place them in a solution of MT liquid. Then you go to the shrine of the god Bollocks who is the arch enemy of our patron devta MT and do puja with the solution with 15 minutes. And voila, its done!”

“So obviously the guy Abdul must have done all of this,” said Vidrum. “He actually did puja in front of an idol. Without doubt he destroyed it after he was done. It doesn’t matter. I never liked Bollocks anyway.”

Vidrum scratched his chin. “But one thing I am worried about is how did he manage to get a strand of Meghana’s hair?”

“Oh that is nothing surprising or new I am sure,” said Somakhya. “What I am really concerned about is how he managed to get a strand of Lootika’s hair!”

Vidrum gave her a dirty look. Suddenly Somakhya’s eyes widened. “By our good god MT! It must have already taken effect on Lootika by now. She did drink a little of the water. Undoubtedly this whole scheme was an attack by the Ghazis to weaken Hindus! Come, we have to go to her house immediately.”

Game theory- Why Hindus should vote out BJP in all local elections
May 2014 was the time when Hindus thought that their time had finally come when they gave an overwhelming majority to BJP in Lok Sabha elections. Sadly the dream did not last for too long as it is already two years since the LS elections but there is hardly anything concrete on the ground which can be used to say that BJP has worked on a pro-Hindu agenda. Yes, it is not anti-Hindu like Congress but it has hardly shown any respect to the genuine Hindu agenda. RTE is still hounding Hindu schools, temple money is still looted by the government, and on top of that NGOs and courts are mounting a direct assault on local Hindu traditions like Jallikattu, the Shani temple or Sabarimala. We hear noises about students shouting anti-national slogans in JNU but none of the ring masters got sacked nor any changes made to history books. On top of that Smriti Irani boasts it as her achievement that she has not yet touched the books circulated by the UPA government.

What makes it worse is the meek behaviour of BJP which does not think even once before abandoning its real Hindu followers. It has started to think that it was the development plank which made it win the last elections and it will make it win again in the future. Seems like BJP is hell bent on following the course it charted during the 2004 elections by projecting “India Shining” and getting dumped by the voters. So not only has BJP distanced itself from supporters like Kamlesh Tiwari in the real world, but it also frequently disowns its social media followers.

The reason that core Hindus find themselves in this position is because BJP knows that these supporters have no outside option other than BJP. All other options like electing Congress are not only anti-Hindu but are also much more disastrous to the economy. So BJP thinks it has a captive vote base as hardcore Hindus have nowhere else to go. Also, since BJP still follows the left-dominated liberal agenda once the elections are over, these Hindus are increasingly seen as a liability rather than an asset. This explains why career politicians don’t think twice before abusing them.

So, what is the way out? Core Hindus cannot let BJP walk around and renege on all the election promises. Thankfully Game Theory comes to our rescue. Dharmics need to use the “Stick and Carrot” principle from Game Theory to discipline BJP’s behaviour. In simple words — how does the Stick and Carrot principle work? Imagine you are the manager and have to ensure that the interests of your employees are aligned with your goals. The simple way to ensure this is to reward them for good behaviour (carrot) while punishing them for bad behaviour (stick). Sticking to just rewards or punishment alone will not ensure good behaviour.

In BJP’s case, electoral wins serve as the carrot but there is no stick to punish them when they deviate from ideal behaviour. This means Hindus need to act strategically and develop a stick to beat BJP into submission so that it implements their agenda. BJP thinks that its Hindu voters are captive and have no other choice and hence can take their support for granted. This needs to change and Hindus need to punish BJP for bad behaviour. The carrot is more than evident — the 2019 LS elections. But what should be this punishment or stick?

Core strategy:
1. Punish BJP for all deviations from the Hindu agenda by defeating them in all local body elections (like panchayat and municipality) till 2019 to send a message to their local leaders. This will generate feedback from the ground that BJP cannot take Hindus for granted. Small BJP leaders get benefit from local elections and so local elections matter a lot to them. Also, they need to be motivated for campaigning in big elections so top BJP leaders need to keep them in good humour. So, if you defeat these foot soldiers it will send a direct message to the high command in BJP that Hindus are not stupid. Don’t select Congress or AAP — go for good local candidates.
2. Let BJP win state elections so that it does not have the excuse of no majority in Rajya Sabha. Although this is a bad excuse — because like Congress, BJP too could have used CBI to implement its agenda — since BJP fanboys almost always cite this reason for BJP’s inaction it is essential to give them a chance to have majority in RS. Although it is most likely BJP would do nothing even with RS majority given how it has kept quiet on all core Hindu issues. Temple control and RTE are not even anti-minority issues to be shot down in RS if BJP plays its cards well. In any case, give them one chance to prove themselves.
3. Defeat high-profile traitors like Jaitley, Fadnavis etc. in state as well as national elections. There should be zero tolerance for high-profile sell-outs. Make sure that Dev Fadnavis is destroyed for his weak-kneed response on the Shani temple issue. Shivraj should be defeated for selling out Hindus on the Bhojshala issue. Similar punishment should be meted out to Jumla Rajnath and Jumla Irani for their inaction. Let local parties like Shiv Sena and other pro-Hindu parties win on seats against these big shots to send a clear message that Hindus have zero tolerance for deviation. Also ensure that hardcore Hindus like Uma Bharti and Yogi Adityanath are elected with thumping majorities to send an even clearer message.
Also, economic right is still a minuscule fraction of BJP supporters as most of its supporters are actually core Dharmics. So core Dharmics have all the shots to call. Punishing local BJP leaders in local elections will not dampen efforts to implement pro-Hindu policies at the top either. So this game is for Hindus to win. It is about time Hindus stopped complaining about democracy and started using democracy to their advantage.

Sticking to the above strategy will give Hindus a say in the formation of policies post elections and keep the top BJP leaders on a tight leash. They should be given the choice between perform or perish. If 15% Muslims can enforce their agenda and make politicians dance to their tunes, there is no reason that Hindus can’t do it if they are strategic. And if Hindus stick to this carrot and stick approach, even if BJP doesn’t deliver for core Hindus then some other party will rise to fulfil their political agenda in the future.

Hate Bollywood for not making these war movies
The year was 2001 and two movies were fighting against each other for setting the industry on fire — Gadar: Ek Prem Katha vs Lagaan. At the end of the day Gadar starring Sunny Deol beat Aamir’s Lagaan hands down in box-office profits as Gadar smashed all the records of that time and sold more tickets than all other movies except Sholay in the history of Indian cinema. Sunny Deol’s macho performance against barbaric Pakistanis probably sealed the deal in Gadar’s favour as the Indian audience preferred it over Aamir Khan’s character of slow cricketer in Lagaan.

The success of Gadar should have given the Indian movie industry a good template to generate profits by kicking the ass of Pakistanis — which they more than deserve and which has historically been proved in all wars post-independence. But this template has hardly been used post-Gadar as Bollywood is more than happy importing Pakistani artists and doing “Aman ka Tamasha”. This sell-out of Bollywood essentially means that they have chosen to close their eyes to all Indian achievements in the past 70 years. Not only have they ignored the past 70 years but there are hardly any movies on our freedom struggle. Given this utter neglect of our history, it hardly surprises that students in JNU can get brainwashed and chant “Bharat ki barbadi tak” slogans, thus disrespecting the spirit of our forefathers who laid their lives for our better future.

Why has Bollywood — which always wants to portray itself as national cinema and ignore local industry — failed to represent this nation of 1.2 billion people? Why is it impossible for it to produce anything which reflects Indian cultural and military superiority? Bollywood is more than happy to copy Hollywood trash, but why does it not learn from it and produce movies to respect our war veterans? It is hard to imagine that Indians would not cherish watching another movie like “Border” based on historical events and stories. Sadly, Bollywood prefers to glorify Jihadis in movies like Haider and act as a fifth column of ISI in creating propaganda against the Indian state.

1. Indo-Pak war (1971)

It is surprising that Indians have failed so miserably to cover this glorious display of courage and capability of the Indian Armed Forces. It broke the back of Pakistan completely and forced it to abandon the idea of direct military confrontation against India. Let’s look at the themes one can explore on this war.
- Genocide of Bangladeshi Hindus: If Schindler’s List can be used by Jews for propaganda, no better way to project the plight of Hindus during this war. A movie on this genocide will completely tar Pakistani reputation forever and represent them for what they are — barbarians.
- International power play: This war was fought under great international pressure where Indira Gandhi was called bad names by Americans for her courage. Not only did India superbly manage international pressure, it managed to create Bangladesh overcoming all these odds. Is there a better way to portray “Nari Shakti” of India when the US is still struggling to elect a female President?
- War theatre: This is such a rich topic to explore. The Indian Army achieved its objectives in such a short period of time and captured 90,000 POW that it is a tragedy that no one ever tried to put it on the silver screen. Operation Trident by the Indian Navy — where they destroyed the Karachi harbour and caused massive damage to Pakistan’s capability — would make such an amazing thriller.

2. Indo-Pak war (1965)

This was another glorious war effort by Indian soldiers. In the aftermath of defeat against the Chinese in 1962, this war was a huge adrenaline boost for a poor and lost country trying to rediscover its strength.
- Genius of PM Shastri: Pakistanis always thought that India is a country of banias ruled by a nobody called Shastri. But Lal Bahadur Shastri showed his true mettle and proved his name Bahadur beyond doubt when he gave orders to march into Punjab to ease pressure on J&K. His death in Tashkent would make another great story and debate to explore.
- Battle of Asal Uttar: This was the battle of battles in this war where Indians won by sheer courage and tactics against a much better armed enemy. It was the biggest tank battle post World War 2 — Indians were not only outnumbered but also had old Centurion tanks from WW2, while Pakistan marched with the new Patton tanks supplied by the US. This battle settled the debate once and for all as Pakistan never regained its confidence after it.
3. Kargil war (1999)

This was the first war where Indians saw some action directly broadcast on their TV sets at home. A few movies were made in the immediate aftermath of this war but since then everyone has forgotten it.
- Lahore bus backstab: PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee went with huge fanfare to Lahore on a bus to create permanent peace between two hostile nations. What did he get in return? He got backstabbed by General Musharraf who planned the Kargil war while Vajpayee was eating biryani with Nawaz Sharif. This story needs to be told again and again to hammer the lesson into Indian heads — Don’t trust Pakistan!
- Mountain warfare: Which other country can boast that they wrestled back peaks at more than 5,000 m by sheer bravery and love for the nation? We would all like to hear the story of Captain Vikram Batra — the “ye dil maange more” guy — on the big screen.

4. Siachen Glacier

When we are talking about mountain warfare, how can we forget about the Siachen Glacier? Ask any mountaineer about their love for mountains and whether they would like to visit the largest glacier in the world called Siachen — you would not hear a single No. But ask our soldiers who live there night and day and they will explain that it is not a pleasant experience in any way. So why do they live there? For the strength and glory of India!
- The history: Learn about the great spy games on how this area became disputed when Indians discovered that Pakistanis were buying low-temperature clothing and boots in large numbers on western markets in 1987 and decided to outsmart them to capture the highest ridges on the glacier.
- Operation Rajiv: One can only imagine the nail-biting fight of our soldiers under freezing cold conditions. Isn’t it surprising that no one has tried to make a movie on Param Vir Chakra winner, the legendary Bana Singh, who captured the highest post (6,447 m) on this glacier — later renamed Bana Top in his honour?
- War against nature: Indian soldiers hardly care for the weak Pakistanis any more on this glacier. Their biggest enemy is the freezing cold and uncertainty of the glacier. We want to hear their true stories and feel proud of our soldiers of steel.
5. Indo-China war (1962)

Great nations not only remember their success stories — what sets them apart is their appetite to hear about their failures. This war which India lost due to the follies of its leaders should serve as a reminder again and again.
- Nehru’s blunders: How India and China went from being best buddies chanting “Hindi-Chini bhai-bhai” to the worst of enemies should be a classic textbook story to tell our kids. The role of Nehru and V.K. Krishna Menon in ensuring India’s defeat should be looked at from a fresh perspective.
- Brave hearts: This was one war where our soldiers were heavily outnumbered as well as under-equipped. But what a fight they put against all such odds. PVC winner Major Shaitan Singh still lives among the memories of soldiers serving around the Chushul area. Old Bollywood did much better in waking up the spirit of a defeated nation by producing “Haqeeqat”.
Contextual replacement image. The original embedded media could not be recovered; this image does not reproduce the original dataset or copyrighted frame.

Just reading this piece will fill you up with emotions for our brave soldiers, so you can easily imagine what movies on the above mentioned topics can do for the nation. Also, there is no better way to pay homage to our dead soldiers by celebrating and remembering them through popular culture. You too will hate Bollywood now for failing to give Indians a chance to celebrate their unity and courage. But this cannot go on forever and we need to make our voices heard to bring this change in our movie industry. So trend #anti-national Bollywood to take this message further.

Gender wars by feminists are nonsense in Indian context
The post modern application of feminism looks at male-female relationships from a Western point of view and almost always disregards and disrupts the pre-existing structures in third world society. The only measure which is then left for the third world champions of feminism is to measure themselves against the standards of modernity as accorded to their western counterparts. This whole exercise is taken with blatant disregard of the fact that modern feminism practised in the west has an Abrahamic background and misses the important cultural nuances due to deep belief that there is only one right form of gender relations i.e. turning women into men. This belief is so deep that Nordic countries like Sweden are taking it to the extreme where they are erasing sex differences even in spoken and written language and evolving gender-less pronouns.

So now the question that should arise in any healthy mind is — should the world go down the Swedish way i.e. mindless adoption of erosion of male-female boundaries? If you see how Swedish women are openly embracing misogynist Muslim men from third world countries and rejecting their local men, it seems biology does not agree with this Swedish experiment. But even before answering the above question, one should ask whether third world countries accept the definition of subjugation of women by men as propounded by western feminists?

Popular culture and art in any society is the true mirror of the prevalent social practices. So, if you go back a few years before the rise of narcissistic and crass humour of AIB, India produced some great stand up comedians. One of them is Surendra Sharma who devoted his whole life to produce humour through husband and wife jokes. A common theme that runs through his entire work is to present the miserable conditions of the husband, thanks to the over-bearing nature of his wife.

Given the popularity of his acts among the middle class, it is not unwise to assume that his jokes touched a chord among the masses where everyone could relate to his act at some level. Let’s look at another example from popular comics for kids called “Chacha Chaudhary”:

Contextual replacement image. The original embedded media could not be recovered; this image does not reproduce the original dataset or copyrighted frame.

There are three nuances which come out of this cartoon immediately:
- Even though women were/are not working, a lot of them control household finances.
- The wife can be tough and even fight with a robber.
- Husband and wife regularly play jokes on each other and pull each other’s leg.
So if paid attention, one can go through a large number of similar narratives presented in the popular culture of the past. This has not been different from the lived experiences of many of us. The fact of the matter is that two generations ago, most men and women worked together both at home and in agriculture depending on their field of expertise. Most of them had tough lives but hardly any time to reflect on or cry about gender inequality. This is true even for the current generation of poor farmers, where despite great efforts of foreign NGOs and domestic feminists, women hardly show any inclination to react to post-modern feminist concepts due to their lived experiences which are orthogonal to what the feminists want them to believe. The destiny of these men and women are tied together by their social and economic circumstances to such an extent that western feminist notions will hardly achieve anything for them.

Looking back now, all of us can share stories on how these relationships played out in real society. There would hardly be any middle class person who would not remember the banter and jokes shared by their uncles and aunts about who controls the finances or who to convince for buying stuff. Many people growing up in a joint family would have had a chance to see these dynamics from much closer — where grandmothers would make most of the financial and other social decisions for the family, usually with the help of one of their sons. The grandfathers on the other hand would be more than happy to mind their business and not get involved in this day to day decision making. It is no surprise that many of these old ladies were respected not only in their own family but consulted for various matters even by distant relatives. This is not to say that there were no male-headed households, but to point out the diversity. This point is actually more nuanced as the male or female headed household can still have different spheres of influence for each spouse where they enjoy complete autonomy and domain expertise. Does it surprise you now that the middle class finds it more than difficult to swallow the atrocity literature sold by western feminists?

Yes, women had to sacrifice in a lot of cases but so did men. The power relationship between men and women was nuanced and worked at different levels, which white women would never understand due to the individualistic society they grow up in — where each individual is benchmarked against the other and where the discussions have just been confined to rights while duties have been completely forgotten. But can one establish Dharma by talking about rights while maintaining silence about duties?

Thankfully Indian women are smarter than white feminists and their sepoys because they evaluate life based on their lived experiences. Thanks to feminism the west is watching over silently as their family system is completely broken. Now imagine how India would be undone if the same toxic ideology is applied here. In the absence of social security, India would not even have the luxury to exist for a short duration post breakdown of the marriage institution. The only reason the west can still export this disruptive ideology is because it has some time before it disintegrates completely due to loss of family culture. Actually one can look at black culture in the US to predict what would befall their whole society once men-women relationships are completely broken down. The rise of post-modern feminism completely destroyed the black family system and blacks are nowhere close to the social standards that they enjoyed in the 1970s. But rather than correct the situation and bring these families together, blacks are increasingly given further overdoses of feminism, disregarding the fact that it was feminism which lies at the root of all their problems.

To counter this narrative, some Native American women have taken a lead in the US. The clarity of thoughts presented by them is astounding, when compared to the blind copycat behaviour shown by Indian feminists, who have nothing but contempt for everything traditional. Some of the arguments of these native women are well documented by @bhimakarma in his series of tweets:

Native American Civil Rights Activist Lorelei Means on how feminism is just another avenue for asserting colonialism

— bhimakarma (@bhimakarma), April 17, 2016

“We are American Indian women, in that order.” – Lorelei Means

— bhimakarma (@bhimakarma), April 17, 2016

The above quote well summarizes how this nouveau colonialism can be defeated only by realizing that men and women share the same destiny, especially under threat from western ideological constructs. Blind application and promotion of atrocity literature will only lead to further subjugation of Indian masses. The above paragraphs should be an eye opener for all Indians that both men and women were equally colonized by the British, who systematically destroyed the Indian economy and impoverished us. All attempts to create a rift between the two will only lead to recolonization of our land again.

Before we close, it is important to note why militant feminism, the way we identify it today, arose in the west. Why do white feminists want to turn their women into men? One has to look at the history of Abrahamic religions to understand this development. Since there is no equivalent female Goddess in Abrahamics and women are inferior to men in their framework, it is more than understandable why these women felt aggrieved and developed militant feminism. This also explains why they want to become men and out-compete them rather than form a mutually beneficial relationship. On the other hand, this is not the case with Hindu households or Hindu religion. For every household, both Shiva and Parvati serve as a source of inspiration on how to run the household. For every Ram, there is a Sita and Vishnu is almost always venerated alongside Lakshmi.

Yes, there are problems in Indian society but there is no reason to decouple men and women and chart a collision course for them. Militant feminism has failed in the west and has led to the doom of their families and societies — and it will fail everywhere else in the world as well. Indians should act smart by looking at the degeneration of western society and learn from their mistakes rather than burn their own fingers while trying to experiment with a failed foreign ideology which makes no sense for their culture and society. So next time you read atrocity literature, just think about how the land of feminism i.e. the US is yet to elect a female President, while India gladly elected Indira Gandhi — who slapped both Pakistan and the US in the 1971 war — as Prime Minister to lead a young country.

Abrahamic exclusivism and witch hunt
The disease of Abrahamic exclusivism is an undercurrent among all the memetic viruses that have developed in the Abrahamic world. The idea of exclusivism and chosen people not only leads to explicit wars but also leads to witch hunting of non-believers. This was as true for Christianity in the medieval period as it is still true for Islam and other Abrahamic derivatives like Marxism, feminism or environmentalism today. In the European dark middle ages, not only zealous Christians burned women deemed as witches, but also ostracised scientists who dared to propose theories that did not align with the Church’s world view.

Some qualities that define this exclusivism:
- Absolutism: Deep belief that there is only one absolute good way which gives moral high ground to believers.
- Missionary zeal to convert non-believers through all forms of propaganda and physical threat.
- Witch-hunting non-believers by explicit threats as well as coining fancy names.
Everyone knows about the religious exclusivism practised by Judaism, Christianity and Islam, so today we will focus on the new groups which practise this exclusivism and get a free pass under the umbrella term called modernity.
Political Marxism

Kalam wali bai noting the list of weapons to procure
- Absolute belief in Communist order that will achieve just society — an ideal utopia everyone should strive for, just like the permanent heaven promised by Abrahamic religions. This ideology simply replaced a post-death heaven with the mirage of heaven here on earth.
- It uses force and propaganda wherever needed and does not shy away from killing people, whether in Stalin’s Russia or through the Naxal movement.
- Killing non-believers when in majority and witch-hunting them when in minority. Non-believers are showered with the choicest of terms: evil Capitalists, bourgeoisie, and more. For knowing more fancy terms — just hear any Kanhaiya speech!
Feminism

Some peaceful feminists in one of their peaceful protests
- Absolute belief that all institutions have historically suppressed women. Only individual freedom for women matters in all cases; kids and family can go down the drain.
- The propaganda runs from universities and media. In the US, the fountainhead of feminism, 60% of college goers are women, but they still cry discrimination.
- It is not that difficult to lose your job and reputation if you annoy the feminist groups. Your work does not count if your ideology does not match with theirs. Fancy terms used to soil your reputation: misogynist, patriarchal, male privilege, etc. Try debating about unfair divorce or dowry law to get a taste of this medicine.
Environmentalism

Environmentalists praying to Varuna God to stop torrential rain
- Absolute belief that man is causing big climate change. While harm of local pollution is easy to prove, global warming is a difficult beast to slay.
- Massive funding has gone into research as well as propaganda. The moral high ground gives the right to save whales while letting poor Indians and Africans die for want of modern medicine and amenities. Probably, a billion people in India and Africa starving without proper food and electricity is regarded as nothing compared to the death of a few whales in the Arctic.
- Question global warming and you are a climate change denier. Support coal power plants and you are anti-tribal, while supporting nuclear plants makes you a supporter of big capitalistic firms.
Multiculturalism

Immigrants with legal papers waiting for bus to cross Euro tunnel
- Absolute belief that all cultures are the same and can live together in a societal soup. Immigrants can be brainwashed and assimilated.
- All religions are same, all cultures are same and all people are good — taught in schools to shut down critical thinking. It gets reflected further in political examples: Angela Merkel asked Facebook to censor anti-immigration posts in the self-proclaimed free-speech society called Germany!
- People who don’t buy the peaceful nature of Islam are called Islamophobes if they can’t shut their eyes to the barbarity of Islam. Those who don’t want unchecked immigration are called racists. In India you will frequently hear “Hindutvawadi” used as an abuse — but it is the same variant.
This is just a partial list of ideologies but you can see that all the Abrahamic derived ideologies sell the dream of saving the world from a real or imaginary problem to their over-zealous followers. Most of those affected by this memetic virus are hypocrites and rank opportunists and lose no opportunity to witch hunt those who do not believe in their ideology — and this happens while they talk about free speech in the background. The free-speech enthusiasts showed no sympathy for the free speech of Indian students in NIT Kashmir, but it was made a big issue in JNU.

One other common trait among all their followers is their extra-territorial loyalty. The communists from India supported China in the 1962 war. The same goes for environmentalists who block nuclear plants or coal mines under the direction of foreign-based NGOs. While economic development of India is supremely important, these people will collaborate with foreign powers to scuttle all development agenda. The less talked about Indian feminists the better. With the help of local and international media, they have effectively helped broad-brush India as the rape capital of the world, when on the contrary it has some of the lowest rape reporting rates in the world. They are more than happy to attend foreign conferences and call India the rape capital to get brownie points among western feminists rather than call out their bluff on statistics. About multiculturalism — we have the great example of Muslims living in India. For all talk of secularism, a lot of them still have extra-territorial affiliations which come out regularly in the form of bursting crackers after an Indian loss in sport, or overt aggression in support of terrorists or counter-terrorists in Iraq-Syria.

So next time when you are barraged by the kindest of hipster words, you can safely assume that you are under assault by one form of Abrahamic ideology. Then you will be given the only choice — to stand with the believers or the non-believers. Depending on your choice, either you will be accepted with open hearts and sold atrocity stories, or — heaven forbid if you still choose to not accept the monotheistic God — you will be witch-hunted. Your loss in the end would depend on where you stand in the social pyramid. Does this now explain why people in the higher echelons of society hardly try to lock horns with the fascist followers of these exclusivist ideologies?

Aryan Invasion Theory: Genetics revisited

This is a follow-up article on our previous article which presented recent genetic evidence to refute AIT. We will point out common misconceptions prevalent on the internet which stem from the fact that either AIT enthusiasts wilfully ignore new evidence or cherry-pick a few studies that suit their narrative.

This is a recent but long-winding article by MT which mixes various evidences. It makes sense to stick to genetic studies as according to the same author, archaeology does not matter for studying population migrations — “pots don’t speak”. For now we will also stay clear of linguistic arguments as they can almost always be made either way in favour of AIT or OIT. For those who wish to read more on linguistic arguments in favour of OIT, one can follow the research work of Srikanth Talageri.

For those who find it difficult to go through this entire blog post, one can directly jump to the bibliography section at the end to understand that most of the quoted research material is old and in some cases patently wrong for explaining the genetic movement of populations. In all the cases, MT uses genetic studies which show that there is similarity between Indians and Europeans, but none of those studies put a timeline on the connection. This has unfortunately become a favourite tactic of AIT enthusiasts — to use half-baked scientific truths to peddle their outdated fiction based on old genetic studies. This whole AIT defence was built on the assumption that migration happened only from the Caucasus to India and not from India to the Caucasus. Unfortunately, recent genetic studies are poking many holes in this theory.

The old genetic studies were limited by the resources available and could tell about shared ancestry but could not put a timeline on the direction of migration. The newer genetic studies, however, can answer both. In fact, the latest genetic studies published took full cognisance of the proposed Aryan migration into India from Russia as well as OIT. But after analysing the genetics comprehensively with larger, wider and deeper samples across all populations, the most recent genetic study came to the conclusion that the Punjabi R1a1a Y haplotype is the oldest among the Indo-European population and is likely the origin of the Indo-Europeans. The timeline of the genetics of the population is given by the SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) of the R1a1a alleles. Out of all the population groups studied from all over the world, Punjab showed the highest frequency of SNP variations — and hence is likely the oldest population group among those studied — with the frequency of variation decreasing from Punjab towards Western European population, with the lowest frequency of variations in the westernmost and northernmost Europeans. This clearly indicates that the Caucasus is not the origin of Indo-Europeans as the AIT fanboys want to believe.

Also notice that the above studies explain why North Indian populations have so much more in common with Europeans than South Indian populations — it was the North Indian population which migrated towards Europe. Also notice that North Indian population is composed of 60% ANI and 40% ASI, while South Indian population is 60% ASI and 40% ANI. This mixing creates some confusion, and AIT proponents usually use it to claim that ANI represents Aryans. But this is not true. ANI migrated into India around 45,000 years BC and ASI around 60,000 BC — and ANI and ASI are not synonymous with Aryans and Dravidians as AIT proponents want you to believe.

And this mixture would have happened before the IVC came into existence because IVC came to existence after 4000 BC — and genetics point out that no new gene flow came into India after 12,000 BC. The study by Lucotte G. points out the same fact: the Indo-European population (by virtue of frequency of variations in R1a1 SNP) is 15,000 years old in the Punjab plains, 11,000 years old in Central Asia, 11,000 years old in the Caucasus, 7,000 years old in Scandinavia and Western Europe. So all in all, AIT enthusiasts are just trying to use half information from outdated genetic studies to peddle their outdated fiction — explaining the genetic similarity between North Indians and Europeans, when such similarity is equally explained by North Indians migrating to Europe. And unlike AIT, this theory actually has newer genetic evidence to back it up without having to go through the logic fallacy of why Europeans would migrate towards India just when the ice age was ending, while Indians could have migrated north as the north got warmer.

Another common mistake repeated in the above blog is using two parameters — lactose tolerance and the tallness gene — to somehow corroborate AIT. This is patently absurd as both lactose tolerance and tallness genes result in survival advantages to the population and hence cannot be used for studying natural flow of population. All genetic migration studies use SNP, which don’t give any survival advantage, instead of genes which do give some advantage. Does it come as a surprise that all genetic studies use SNPs?

Let’s say a population of mixed tall and short individuals from Punjab crosses the Steppes of Central Asia to go to Europe. The Steppes, being a more hostile environment, would have huge selection pressure towards taller individuals. So when the population crosses the Steppes, the tall population would be selected against the short — and when the population reaches Europe, it would be almost entirely tall. Now let’s reverse the scenario where Europe is the origin of the tallness gene and it crosses the Steppes into Punjab. Since most of the population in Punjab is already short or mixed (as per AIT), the invading migrants with their tall genes would mix with the short Punjab people. Punjab plains being less hostile than the Steppes might not have the same selection pressure, and so the tall genes would get diluted by mixing. In both scenarios, Punjab has a mixture of short and tall and Europe has tall — so tallness gene distribution cannot provide a definitive answer to the direction of movement. This is why population genetics and migration studies are done using SNPs which don’t confer or alter survival benefits.

All in all, AIT enthusiasts have limited time left to enjoy their falsehoods as new genetic studies will settle this debate once and for all. The fact that AIT was broadly accepted forced earlier genetic studies to match their findings and present results to corroborate the existing consensus. This happened as genetics could not speak about migration direction ten years ago. But it has changed now and we should see definitive and conclusive answers in the future.

Hindus having kids is the only way to save our future
Quantity has a quality of its own. No one demonstrated it better than the Allied forces during the Second World War when they won it by pitting sub-standard tanks and war planes against more modern but heavily outnumbered German war machines. So, if one can win a world war by pitting quantity against quality, there is no reason to expect a different outcome in a democracy where the game is rigged in favour of numbers. And this game is being played out in front of our eyes for the past six decades in India, but Hindus fail to recognize what holds for their future if they do not put sand in the wheels of the Muslim demographic war machine.

Does it ever occur to you why Muslims always maintain a higher TFR than the majority whenever they are in minority? Well, it’s demographic war — stupid! So the same Bengali Muslims who have a TFR of 2.1 when they are in Bangladesh and have totally annihilated the Hindu population, suddenly increase it to 4 when they cross the border and enter West Bengal. Similarly in Kerala they have 2 kids per woman when Hindus have 1 kid per woman. The trend is the same even for the developed world, where Muslim women almost always counter-breed white women. And every time this issue is brought up, politically correct people will quote that Muslim TFR is going down everywhere but none of them would answer why it is still over and above the rest of the population. Given that population growth is exponential, Muslims don’t need to have 10 kids per woman to establish demographic superiority. One more kid in the first generation translates to two more kids in the second generation and four more kids in the third. So if other groups just maintain their population, Muslims would increase their population four-fold in three generations. Now look at the map of Bangladesh below to see how it happened in India’s neighbourhood. The colour has consistently changed to dark green for younger population i.e. Hindus have gone below 5% of the population in almost all districts now.

evol1 — Hindu demographic decline in Bangladesh

Hindus in India will face a similar future in large number of pockets if they do not wake up now. And those who cry about sickular politics today can only imagine what holds for them in Muslim majority neighbourhoods of tomorrow. So, what is the way forward to handle this issue? There are only two solutions:
1. Restricted one child policy for Muslims
2. Hindus counter-breeding Muslims
While policy 1 would be an ideal and less costly choice, given the lack of spine among Hindus in India and pandering to the secular agenda, it is almost impossible to implement. One can give long arguments in favour of policy 1 but given current circumstances one can rule it out. So, rational Hindus are left with nothing but policy 2 as the only remedy till some other better solution cannot be found or Muslims are reduced back to one-digit figures.

The only other nation which has understood this problem seriously and taken the bull by its horn is Israel. The Muslim TFR went down from 8–9 in the 1960s to about 4.6 in the 1980s but has stayed there almost since then. Israel, being a democracy, faced a similar problem to India and the presence of a large number of liberals ensured that policy 1 was rejected there as well. So, the orthodox Jews took it upon themselves to stem the tide of demographic reversal and started counter-breeding Muslims to remain relevant in Israeli politics. The current demographics show that they have been more than successful in their initiative.

Contextual replacement image. The original embedded media could not be recovered; this image does not reproduce the original dataset or copyrighted frame.

What does this mean for the future of Israel? The orthodox Jews have not only successfully countered the problem of high Muslim TFR but have also completely altered the politics of Israel. Given the small weight that liberals put on their fertility, they are increasingly replaced by the more orthodox sections of Jews. This means that in the future Israeli politics will move more to the right — and given the fact that orthodox Jews will control politics, they would be in a position to implement policy 1 if needed. So, Hindus who go into overdrive to support the misadventures of Israel will do much better if they learn something from the orthodox Jews rather than support all the stupid policies of Israel.

Once Hindus realize the gravity of the situation, they will have to put in huge efforts to implement this solution. They will face a lot of flak from women activists who would fight it tooth and nail and give arguments of quality over quantity. But sadly in a democracy there is just one vote for both the enlightened Hindu feminist and a Jihadi. No amount of fact-digging from scriptures and history about Hindu seers having just one or two but quality offspring can change the fact that numbers matter in democracy more than anything else. Also, one should not forget that unlike other civilizations Hindus had never been overly nihilistic or individualistic in their history, which helped them keep a demographic surplus in the face of Abrahamic onslaught for thousands of years. Unlike other Pagan civilizations, one reason for the survival of Hindus was their focus on family values and having enough offspring. This is much more important today in this democratic age — the day you lose the numbers, you lose your policy-making powers.

Having decided to go forward with policy 2, one still needs to overcome the implementation hurdles. Sacrifices will be needed by both men and women who have to give up many of their individualistic freedoms to help nurture bigger families. Also, it cannot be implemented at the cost of quality children and will need a grand Hindu collaboration to subsidize the education of these children. Again, one can learn from orthodox Jews who have successfully achieved it by developing their own institutions where they provide cheap education and jobs to their community members. This gives another reason to repeal discriminating laws like RTE, so that in the future when Hindu consolidation takes place, the state does not impose increasing costs on Hindu institutions.

The ball is now in the court of rational Hindus who understand that increased Muslim numbers is a problem for their survival in the long run. Burying their heads in the sand or waiting for Modi to do something will not solve this problem. Since policy 2 does not require the support of all Hindus, it can be easily implemented if a critical mass of Hindus come together. The only need will be to develop supporting institutions which can take care of this burgeoning Hindu population. In the end, 20–30% of Hindu population is enough not only to counter-breed Muslims, but to also make future Indian politics more pro-Hindu as this young population replaces the current generation of anti-Hindu liberals. The only question that remains to be answered is whether Hindus are ready to realize their Dharma and rise up to this challenge and beat Muslims at their own game.

What Hindus can learn from destruction of Chinese culture by CCP

From our visit to China, it seems that the Western conversion of Chinese civilisation is over — or at least, it will be in a few years. Going by the rate of deracination in the Chinese people, it seems that the Chinese are fast losing their connect with their 4000-year-old civilisation and are now being reduced to being merely a cheap copy of yellow-skinned Americans who have no culture of their own left.

Typical pre-marriage photo-ops in the Temple of Heaven, China

There is no better way to understand the direction where they are headed than looking at their marriage ceremony and photos. The above picture is a typical marriage photo in today’s China and it demonstrates the Westernisation of China pretty well. Notice that the Chinese have completely thrown out their own customs during marriage along with their traditional dresses, which have now been reduced to museums. The Chinese in the marriage setting are wearing Western dresses and the customs followed in their marriages are increasingly getting Westernised. It is increasingly common these days to see Chinese couples doing pre-marriage photo-ops in Western attire from Beijing to Paris, demonstrating that they have completely fallen to the consumerism and narcissism of the West. Soon, China will look like South Korea, which already looks like a yellow-skinned American state — where the only place you will find Chinese civilisation will be in their museums, with the young Chinese deracinated to the point that they don’t want to connect with their civilisation even on a special day like their wedding.

What makes the above picture even more telling is the fact that the place where the above photo was taken is the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. Even Beijing, which is the heart of Chinese civilisation, could not protect one of its most important civilisational symbols. The Temple of Heaven is a 600-year-old temple in Beijing used by Chinese kings to offer rituals and sacrifices to the Gods, thanking them for their bountiful harvest and for blessing their society. This temple, which was a spiritual and cultural icon of China just 100 years back, has been reduced to merely a glorified museum today — filled with card-playing old people and selfie-hungry young people jumping up and down at the sacrificial altar. Can you expect similar defilement and sacrilege of Rome or Mecca? No one notices how the Communists of China have destroyed hundreds of Pagan and Buddhist temples of China in the last 100 years. Thousands of years of civilisation and history being reduced to mere selfie spots fuelling narcissistic consumer culture. The Western-dressed wedding picture is just the last brick in the wall capturing the fall of Han identity and culture.

Defaced statues inside Longmen Grottoes, China

The Longmen Grottoes of China are another example of the Talibanism of the Communist government under Mao. This is a 2000-year-old Buddhist site where locals destroyed most of the statues inside the caves during the “Cultural Revolution” under state pressure — except the large ones. The large statues survived only because of the superstition of the locals, whose fear that the gods would punish them if they destroyed the statues was bigger than their fear of the Communist state. This site stands today barely surviving, only because of the superstition of the locals. Once again this shows how eager the Communists were in destroying their own past. Recent news seems to suggest that the conversion industry is working on overdrive in China. Given how eager the Chinese have been in destroying their own culture and past, it is pretty safe to say that the Evangelicals will reap a rich harvest of souls from their soul-harvesting programmes in China. With no culture to fall back on, the Church has a much easier job in converting the Chinese.

One can already see a large number of Chinese people who are starting to use Western names like Peter, Jack, Steven etc. to please their Western masters. Though it appears as an insignificant issue on the surface, it is actually a very important step in losing your own identity when large numbers of people start doing it in your locality. This act of changing names to suit Western civilisation is another example of Western domination of Chinese thought and civilisation — who are all but Chinese in name only. Conversion to Christianity now is only a formality for Chinese people. Also, given how most Chinese are not yet fluent in English, this problem is going to get worse once most Chinese become more fluent in English than they are today. It will only speed up the process of deracination of the Chinese.

How is it relevant to us Indians?

The Chinese experience greatly teaches us the importance of rituals and traditions in preserving our identity. Christians and Marxists know this well and that is why they attack our rituals constantly — be it our Sabarimala temple, or be it our Mangal Sutra, or be it our Durga Pujas. Christians attack our rituals like Pongal, Onam and Durga Pooja and want them to be secularised to deracinate us — making it easier for them to convert us to their own rituals. Marxists want our rituals and traditions destroyed, sometimes even masquerading as Hindus (like CPM in Kerala organising Sanskrit and Vedic festivals, or CPM of West Bengal organising ‘secular’ Durga Puja) with intellectual pretensions about how rituals and traditions are backward and hold us back. But the truth is, they understand the power of our rituals and ceremonies much better than we do. They know that if we lose our rituals, traditions and ceremonies, we have nothing to fight for and would be ripe for harvesting by soul vultures.

So the question is — are we Hindus going to learn from the Chinese experience? Are we going to discard our rituals just as the Adarsh liberals today want? Or should we start preserving our culture by preserving our traditions and rituals? The choice is ours to make. But if you do choose the former, be prepared for our Tirupati Devasthanam, Kashi Vishwanath temple, Thanjai Big Temple, Mahabalipuram Temple and other cultural and spiritual icons and centres to be trampled by the next generation.

Why Hindus should not shed any tears for Brussels terror strike

The Paris attacks on Charlie Hebdo brought together the whole world and laid bare the menace of Islamic terror which is usually ignored by the champagne sipping elites of the west. Indians, who have paid with their blood and freedom to face this monster, recognized the human tragedy and showed their solidarity by messaging “Je suis Charlie” and changing their profile picture to the French flag on Facebook to show their solidarity with France. But in the wake of Brussels bombings and expected rise in number of terrorist attacks in Europe, the question arises — do these westerns deserve Indian sympathy? The simple answer is – no.

India has been facing the menace of Islamic barbarism from at least 1000 years and terrorism is just a new manifestation of this old disease. It has raised its ugly head in independent India from time to time from Kashmir to Mumbai. Sadly, the western nations for most of this time have maintained a calculated silence or condoned these terrorist activities against the Indian nation state. The west has been using this as a state policy against India for quite some time now and its support for Islamic terrorism can be understood by looking at two dimensions — physical and ideological.

The first consists of outright support to terrorist organizations. Under the guidance of US, the western nations have cunningly outlined the concept of good terrorist vs bad terrorist. Without any surprise, any terrorist group which helps western hegemony gets bracketed into the first category while those who attack their interests get labelled as bad terrorists. The military support and aid to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and other ideological Muslim nations can also be put into the good bracket defined by the west. The mujahideen funded by US in Afghanistan against the USSR later drove back into Kashmir with tacit approval from the US. It was only post 9/11 that the US took active interest in dismantling the Taliban in Afghanistan, but has done various flip-flops since then. Other nations like UK, Canada, Germany and others are also not far behind in their support for Pakistan and other rogue entities and have frequently decided not to collaborate with Indian authorities citing one or the other reason.

The second and more hypocritical stand of the west has been to provide ideological ammunition and whitewash the crimes of Islamic terrorists. The terms like “terrorism has no religion” and “Islamophobia” have been mass popularized using the media and anyone who does not share this illusion has been witch-hunted for his views. Their ideological factories have churned out various victimhood theories to pin the blame on one or other local event and give cover to Islamic atrocities. So while the Gujarat riots are blamed for all subsequent terrorist strikes in India, the burning down of more than fifty Karsevaks at Godhra is completely forgotten and often labelled as an accident by foreign as well as local Indian media. This ideological sophistry has more or less closed down the debate on the barbaric nature of Islam. Since it is nations like India which have historically paid for this battle with their blood, the west had no reason to not use Islam to destroy India.

But now the Islamic monster has turned its gaze back on its European masters. Now they need to pay with their blood for all the intellectual dishonesty they have displayed during all these years. The question is whether the western Muslims will treat their hosts better in Europe than they have treated Hindus in India? If one were to go by the current terrorist attacks, it seems that western liberalism has hardly helped prevent the rot among their Muslim citizens, who have little value for the life of their fellow countrymen or themselves.

India has worked hard to control Islamic terrorism and still finds it difficult to wipe it out completely. Thus the only suggestion you can give to your western counterparts is — be ready to pay with your blood and freedom. There is no short cut. Also remember to install X-Ray machines on each of your metro exits in Paris and Brussels — the free (safety) lunch is over.

So coming back to the question again — should Hindus shed tears for the increasing number of terrorist attacks in Europe? The answer is a strict no. There is no reason for Indians to stand in solidarity with hypocrites who ignored our pain and supported a barbaric ideology both physically and ideologically. Since their past follies have now come home to roost, there is little that India can do in this regard when its past pleas were unheard by the west. Does it surprise you that the Hindu genocide in Bangladesh is never discussed by these same western nations who continue harping about Islamophobia? Well, the value of Pagan Hindu blood is probably too small to evoke any emotion from these western elites, compared to their Abrahamic cousins of the Middle East. They don’t deserve our tears or support because you can bet your life that they won’t give a damn when we bleed. They are more likely to mock our pain and lack of security than feel our pain.

As far as Hindus are concerned, this is a war between two evils, which have both been preying on us and killing us whenever possible and quite frankly, for a long time had been allies in killing us — be it during 1947 when Britain helped Pakistan, or be it in 1971 when the West helped Pakistan to kill millions of Hindus. So rather than shed a tear for these hypocrites and their own jihadi creations, Hindus should just let these two evils fight themselves out and let Karma have her course. The world could frankly do with less of both of these evils. This is neither our war to fight nor our war to take sides on. Frankly, neither of them are allies of Bharatiya civilisation for us to care. We don’t have to stoop to their level and mock them on their follies, but we don’t have to shed our tears for them either.

The Entitled Middle Class Princess Syndrome

In a post-modern society characterized by low fertility and few kids per family, each parent acts as a kind and all-forgiving Dhritarashtra thus giving rise to an army of modern Duryodhanas. Bad behaviour is not only tolerated but in many cases encouraged by modern parents. Each kid is sold the story of being a special snowflake where the whole world is supposed to rotate around them. Thus begins the story of entitlement syndrome which follows Gen X from childhood to youth. Unfortunately, the world bites young boys hard and punctures their ego balloon once they grow up, where they are supposed to perform or perish. On the other hand their sisters turn out to be pretty lucky and their snowflake image only grows over time — which we will refer to as the Entitled Middle Class Princess (EMP) syndrome.

What makes middle class girls special is that not only are they treated like princesses by their family members but are fed the constant victimhood narrative associated with being a girl in a third world country like India. The only difference is that unlike their poor sisters they hardly face any hardships and live a life of luxury supported by their parents. The protected environment provided by the family ensures that most of their wishes are fulfilled with little to no effort. This point can be confirmed by the praise that most of these middle class girls have for their fathers — specially on how they care for them. Also, as mentioned above, unlike men who still have to go and face the heat of the bad real world, middle class girls get a free pass even in social life from school to college to work, where all efforts are made to assuage their ego and mistakes are overlooked thanks to the political correctness regime and the gender card.

Finally, due to the system of arranged marriages and dowry, women still retain the right to work or not work after marriage, unlike men who have no choice but to be the breadwinner of the family. Just look around yourself to confirm that there are hardly any men who are jobless and have a good wife, while there are many young women who prefer to opt out of the workforce and still get married to a rich or powerful man. The use of the gender card to shrug off each failure while getting rewarded for the smallest accomplishments — both at home and in public life — generates extreme narcissism which these women then carry into their marriages, thus building extreme expectations that are impossible to be satisfied by future husbands. Given this EMP syndrome plus the tough anti-dowry laws, marriages are becoming a bad deal for middle class men, who have to pay a high cost in case they want to divorce one of these princesses.

Case Study

Let’s look at one such case of Abhinandan, an upper middle class Hindu boy who married Shruti two years ago. All was going well for the 28-year-old orthopaedic surgeon before he agreed to marry the girl of his parents’ choice. The girl belonged to a political family with her father being a big shot in local politics. The marriage took place with the usual grandeur that defines current middle class marriages. The soft-spoken and friendly doctor knew that marriage would change his life completely but did not know that it would be the biggest mistake of his life.

The problem started soon after marriage due to Abhinandan’s devotion to his family, which was something that Shruti did not like. The more she tried to pull him away from his family the more he resisted it tooth and nail. The constant pestering by his wife led to constant but small friction between them in the beginning, which kept on growing over time. The issue finally escalated to the point where Shruti aborted their three-month-old foetus and blamed the guy and his family for beating her up and causing the abortion. The behaviour of Shruti was common knowledge for all friends and both families but in the end the girl’s parents decided to side with her. The final result was that the whole family was slapped with 498A on false accusations. To make things worse, Abhinandan’s younger sister — who was not even home — was blamed for forcing Shruti to abort the foetus. Given the mass abuse of 498A, it is not uncommon to hear such stories where entire families including women are punished to extract revenge.

You would think that it is just another story but given the image of Abhinandan, it has left a sour matrimonial taste among many of his friends and well-wishers to the point that many of them are considering not marrying at all, or not marrying middle class girls. If the trend continues, middle class working women would have a tough time getting married as a lot of men would start preferring poor women who don’t suffer from EMP. This trend is very similar to the one seen in western countries where white men are increasingly opting to marry Latino or Asian women who are not as narcissistic as their western counterparts. Similarly in India, poor girls have seen the hardships of real life and would appreciate the hard work of their spouses for their family instead of whining about patriarchy and oppression while watching TV and checking Facebook inside an air-conditioned house. Also, poor girls who have seen that real life is about compromises and not all wishes can be fulfilled are less likely to break marriages and slap divorce charges willy-nilly. Another factor in favour of poor women is that they are a lot more grounded in our culture and reality and actually love having children — which is a biological duty of the family — instead of whining about how difficult it is to have children and manage them.

All in all, if this trend continues, middle class women may find it increasingly difficult to find suitable grooms in the coming years. Of course, thanks to hypergamy, men and their families would have little problem with marrying below their social status, unlike girls or their families who would find it difficult to marry their daughters to someone they consider below their standards. You can ask around to confirm that it is already getting difficult for parents to marry off their highly successful daughters. If middle class girls and their families want to stem this trend and stop this rot, they need to do a serious introspection on whether pampering their kids is such a good idea — and if living alone with a cat like western women is better than adjusting to live with their husbands.

Finally, this is not a men vs women issue as it is the parents who are to be blamed for this mess in the first place. This is a problem faced by society as a whole, as the women reading this would quickly realize that they are likely to have a brother or son of their own to be affected by it in the future. Similarly, men who cherish their duty of being fathers and brothers should give it a good introspection as well. The west, having created permanent fault lines between men and women in their society, is now trying hard to replicate this problem in India — which has always valued Dharma over rights and cherished both men and women for their contribution to family and society as a whole.
