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”.

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.

Islamism, individualism and feminism vs Hinduism
Contextual editorial illustration for the restored article.

This article is going to be based on SM experiences on our past articles. On the cultural agenda, we have tried to highlight two broad assaults from Islamism and feminism, which come together and make a deadly cocktail for the survival of Hindus in their homeland. The reason these issues get entangled is because in a democracy, more than anything else, numbers matter. You can enforce your agenda if you have numbers — otherwise you can go for a hike. Muslims, though few in numbers compared to Hindus, have excellent organisation skills and have enforced their agenda either through voting or riots. While Islam is still debating polygamy and divorce alimony in India, urban Hindus have adopted liberal memetic themes like individualism and feminism with an open heart.

If Hinduism were facing any one of these problems, there was a good chance to fight back and reverse the damages. But the problem has been exacerbated by the fact that all these forces have attacked India at the same time. On the one hand, Muslims have maintained a higher TFR than Hindus in all regions — as can be seen by their increasing numbers. On the other hand, few Hindus have realized this as a problem due to sickular ideology taught in schools. But even those who have acknowledged it have failed to accept the solutions as they hurt their deep-seated beliefs.

[Image: Population map — 0–4 age cohort, district-wise] pop_0-4 — restored contextual visual.

So, what is the problem? The problem is the decreasing number of Hindus — if not throughout the country then in specific pockets throughout the country. This will have long-lasting impact on governance and culture as democracy will ensure Muslim-dominated elected bodies in the future. So what solution did we suggest? The solution is simple — maintain demographic superiority. How to do that?
1. Increased TFR for Hindus
2. Ghar Wapsi i.e. reconversion
Ghar Wapsi is important but it has an added complication because it depends on luring Muslims back into their original religion. Swami Shraddhanand, the original stalwart who conducted massive Ghar Wapsi in the 1920s, had to pay with his life for his actions. Given the current democratic pressures, it has become even more difficult to go down this route. But still there are ways to do it and this path cannot be rejected completely. This brings us to the first solution — increased TFR.

Suggesting a high TFR for Hindus made us run into many criticisms due to the pacified Hindu mindset. Compared to other similar articles, this article received much less sharing on social media. And we guess there are three important reasons behind it:
1. 60 years of brainwashing on the population problem in India
2. Financial difficulty in supporting big families
3. Individualism ranging from feminism to narcissism
“Hum Do Hamare Do” (We 2 Our 2 Children) has made a massive impact on Hindus throughout the country, so much so that any suggestion which goes against it seems ridiculous. Given this brainwashing, even though many Hindus will recognize the Islamic problem, they would still choose not to confront it head on and change their opinion on having more children. This means that a lot of men who would otherwise be sympathetic to the cause will ignore the issue because it somehow goes against their fundamental principles — to the extent where some people say they will have two high-quality Dharmic children, as if having a third child is somehow Adharmic!

The second problem arises due to rising living costs across India. This is a problem only as long as Hindus don’t decide to act. Once they come together, child-related costs can be brought down through various measures — supporting extended families, developing community schools and support institutions. More than a hindrance, this can be classified as a logistical problem and should not deter Hindus. The fact is most well-to-do and rich people have very low fertility and they hide behind this argument only to support inaction. So there is more to it than meets the eye.

The third source of criticism comes from rising individualism and its other supporting ideologies, especially feminism. While Muslims are largely immune to feminism, it will take a toll on Hindus by asking their women to forget their collective Dharma. Although some authors have devised smart ways to associate Dharma with the Abrahamic offshoot called feminism, it hardly stands on its feet when analysed properly.

One way in which Hindu feminists support the current low TFR decision of Hindus is by saying that none of our Gods had large numbers of kids, nor are there any explicit guidelines for supporting high fertility among Hindus. But history suggests otherwise — Hindus had hardly been as narcissistic as other pagan civilizations and always had a demographic surplus. This ensured that they did not get trampled down by the horses of Abrahamic faith like other religions and regions. Also, Dharma is not fixed in time and is ever evolving given local conditions. Under democracy — which rewards quantity over quality — it becomes a duty of all sane Hindus to realize and work towards maintaining their demographic superiority to save their cultural heritage.

In the end, when Hindu feminism won’t get any support from individual or collective Dharma, it is natural to fall back on original western feminism and resort to the “my body my choice” argument. While it is true that women bear a significantly larger cost of bearing children, they also get greater glory from them in the end. All Hindu scriptures have glorified great mothers who devoted their children to upholding Dharma. If those mothers had been individualistic, half of their offspring would never have seen the light of day. This also tends to be the ugliest part in this whole debate because as soon as you support high TFR, feminists raise the bogey of misogyny — as according to them only women bear the cost of having kids. Sadly, this level of narcissism is widespread as western liberal constructs have reduced bearing children to a mechanical task instead of a gift of nature celebrated widely in Hinduism through revering different fertility goddesses. So everyone ends up looking at kids as some sort of burden rather than harbingers of love and happiness.

While it makes sense for any leftist or feminist to disregard tradition and cultural preservation as they want to destroy Hinduism, anyone who attaches himself to Hindu ethos would not outright reject the collective Dharma to maintain demographic superiority. As it becomes amply clear in this example, the Abrahamic construct of feminism is irreconcilable once a person realises his collective and individual Dharma — which is maintaining demographic superiority in this case.

Then there is also the question of how one divides his love between himself and future generations. If you put no weight on future generations and whether they carry your traditions and culture, there is nothing stopping you from being individualistic. But as soon as you stop being myopic and develop some attachment to your future generations, it becomes imperative that your actions are aligned with your future goals. The choice thus becomes simple: either have 3–4 kids now who will help maintain Hindu majority, or see your granddaughters walking around in burqa, subjugated by polygamy and stoned for adultery under Sharia. This way the cycle of Abrahamic exclusivism will go full circle — from complete freedom under feminism to no freedom under Islam — with only a small possibility of buying a museum ticket to read about the dead middle path of Hinduism.

How Phony RW intellectuals will lead Hindus to slaughter
Editorial illustration for “How Phony RW intellectuals will lead Hindus to slaughter”.

[Image: Muslim youth kicking Amar Jawan Jyoti] — contextual restoration.

We always say that a picture says a thousand words and is much more powerful than any article. The above picture shows a Muslim youth kicking Amar Jawan Jyoti i.e. the essence and life blood of Indian republic. But Indian intellectuals fail to look and comprehend the story behind such pictures and delude themselves and gullible sheepish Hindus through their intellectual sophistication. The latest addition to this list is R. Jagannath, a self-proclaimed intellectual RW in India. The intellectual wankery and self-delusion touched new levels in his latest article on why India produces so few Jihadis as compared to Europe and how Hinduism is responsible for it. Both the premise and the conclusion in this article are wrong on so many levels:
1. India does not produce few Jihadis. Just count the number of dead Jihadis in Kashmir and rest of India. If you add the number of silent Jihadis who come out in various riots like Malda and Muzzafarnagar, you can build entire populations of some European countries. Going to Syria is a useless criterion for measuring Indian Jihadi numbers when the Muslims in the sub-continent have more than enough reasons to stay here and capture whole India bits by bits.
2. Yes, there are no outright conflicts right now between Hindus and Muslims in India but it is just a matter of time before the next round starts when the Muslim population reaches a threshold as seen in various riot prone areas. So, it is not the Hindu genes in sub-continental Muslims which are helping in avoiding this conflict but the pusillanimity of Hindus and their intellectual self-delusion and pretences that is delaying the inevitable to some future date. Jaggy added himself to this same list of self-deluded Hindus churning out theories which will lead Hindus to ultimate slaughter.
Now, lets add another picture to complete the story and further pin-prick this self-delusion bubble of Hindus.

[Image: Map of Mauryan Empire — extent of Hindu civilisation] — contextual restoration.

The above picture shows the extent of Hindu civilization, which has now lost half of its area. And guess what — all those areas went to the peace loving Muslims which carry Hindu gene as proclaimed by R. Jagannath, but have eradicated the last traces of their Hindu ancestry. Actually, he can visit any of his neighbourhood Muslim ghettos and explain to the Muslims there about how they carry Hindu genes. Given the current state of Indian security, it is hard to guarantee that he will come back in one piece as most of the current Muslims both in India and erstwhile Hindu regions like Pakistan and Afghanistan will not take it lightly — they think they have more Arabic blood and have nothing to do with Hindus. He for sure must be aware about the flak that Subramaniam Swamy received by claiming Hindu ancestry of Muslims in India, so it will be better if he drops this experiment and takes our word for it.

But the crux of the matter is: can Hindus learn from the follies that they have done in the past ten centuries? The current media ecosystem is against them but it is not a big problem. The big problem is the self-delusion of the so called RW intellectuals who should be thinking about the best interest of Hindus. Sadly, they have failed miserably on this account. It is not the Hindu gene in Indian Muslims, but the shameful or idiotic gene in Hindus, which has helped to avoid the full scale problem for short duration. India has already gone through one partition thanks to the same Hindu gene carrying Muslims and still faces frequent riots in areas with sufficiently high Muslim populations from Kashmir to Kerala. Riots like Malda keep getting added to the list of riots instigated by Muslims. Tiwari and Narang keep getting murdered in broad daylight by Muslim goons and all one gets from intellectual RW Hindus is total dishonesty, which tries to sugar coat the problem and wish it away. Sadly, the world does not work that way and pretending to live in a utopia does not create a utopia.

The need of the hour is to have constant debates on Islam instead of whitewashing its crimes which the Hindu RW is more than happy to do right now. Hindus need to avoid them as they are worse than communists. While communists are at least honest about screwing Hindus, these insidious poisonous intellectuals will lead Hindus like sheep to their slaughter. They will pretend all is well till demographics reach the level of WB or Kerala. Then Hindus getting killed will not make any headlines, the way it hardly creates a flutter post RSS worker deaths in various states. This will finally end like the story of Kashmiri Pandits once Muslims reach 50% of the population i.e. a point of no return. Intellectual masturbation is not going to save other Hindus, like how the intellectual pretensions of the Bengali bhadraloks or the mallus have hardly saved their skins from the Mullahs. Selectively looking at one or two individuals who are harmless while ignoring incidents like Malda and Amar Jawan Jyoti and claiming that Indian Muslims are not Islamists like in the west is intellectual masturbation at its best. So next time when Jaggy styled authors claim about peaceful syncretism of Indian Islam, please remind them about the genocide of Hindus in Bangladesh, which did not happen so far in the past.

Sadly, delusion has been the fatal intellectual flaw of Hindus since the time of first attacks by barbaric Muslim hordes. Time and again they have been let down by their intellectuals, who failed to recognize the true nature of Islam and its adherents, who want complete domination and annihilation of all other beliefs. Buddhists, who bore the maximum brunt of Islamic invasion and got wiped out from large swathes of territory had done better analysis of Islam than the current generation of Hindus. Here is the appraisal of Islam by 11th century Kalachakra Buddhism:

We may summarize the Kalacakra tantra’s perception of Islamic beliefs and practices as follows: from the Buddhist point of view Islam is demonic and perverse, a perfect anti-religion which is the antithesis of Buddhism (daitya-dharma; asura-dharma; atyantddharma; adharma). Islam’s theology of an omnipotent Creator who consigns men to heaven or hell based on their pleasing or displeasing him is classed with the lowest of Indian ideologies. The Islamic belief that ar-Rahman makes his followers cut off their foreskins in order to enter heaven is viewed as exotic and bizarre. The Kalacakra tantra represents Islam as a religion of violence (himsa-dharma) that advocates savage behavior (raudra-karman).

— Kalachakra Tantra, 11th century Buddhist text

It then finally ends with giving prescriptions on how to deal with Islam:

First, the tantra prohibits its own adherents from participating in the barbarian religion. Second, it holds out the possibility of converting the barbarians to Buddhism. Third, it uses the threat of Islam in anti-brahman polemics. Finally, it prophesies a Buddhist holy war against Islam.

— Kalachakra Tantra, 11th century Buddhist text

Does it surprise anyone now that Buddhist Myanmar, China and Sri Lanka have dealt with the Islamic menace with an iron fist while Hindus are still debating on the nature of Islam? This snake oil sold by self-proclaimed RW will not work for too long and common Hindus will have to ultimately face the reality. While these intellectuals will hide in their gated communities and peddle even more Islamic syncretism, it will be the common Hindus who will have to bear the brunt of Islamic rape, loot and pillage. The choice is only theirs: either learn from their past mistakes or let their great grand daughters be raped and killed like during partition or 1971 Bangladesh or Kashmir. Sadly, chanting about the Hindu roots of Indian Muslims would not take them too far as it neither saved their Hindu ancestors nor will save their future generations.

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.

Demographic Seize of Al-Hind

The above image is more than sufficient to explain the story rather than engage in a discussion and give long explanations. The demographic battle is being fought in India using wombs and nay-sayers do not know what they are getting into. The Hindus have become less than 90% in the lowest age cohort in most of the districts in the country and this cannot be taken less seriously.

Just compare the two above pictures and the pattern clearly emerges. In the lowest age group, the number of Abrahamic kids are going up as most of the regions are turning from light green ⟹ dark green ⟹ red. It is an impossible challenge to find a district where this pattern has reversed i.e. a green area turning white. It would be very naive to think that this is not deliberate and just happened by chance.

Now, lets look specifically on how the Muslims are doing as a group:

Three patterns clearly emerge:
1. The Mughal corridor going through the heart of UP and Bihar to link up with West Bengal and Bangladesh is going on at a rapid pace. The numbers in the 0–4 age group have swelled consistently.
2. West UP and Uttarakhand have established themselves as the new demographic warzones.
3. Assam and the north east are further sliding down from the Dharmic map. After accounting for illegal Bangladeshis, these numbers will only become worse.
All the theories about high HDI and low Muslim fertility rate fail the sniff-test after looking at Kerala, which is supposedly the communist and liberal paradise in India. Muslims are outbreeding both Hindus and Christians in this high HDI state. There are enough videos on the internet where you can still see mullas debating on the use of condoms, clearly explaining that high Muslim fertility has a religion angle to it. But the liberals want to bury their heads in the sand and also prevent others from looking at it by hiding these facts through sophistry. Kerala is just another addition to the growing list of regions that have high Muslim fertility despite relative prosperity.

Zooming in a bit further shows that many of the red regions actually have more than 40% Muslim population in the 0–4 age group.

The worse picture emerges from the urban areas where most Hindus have stopped having more than 2 kids. The Muslim reluctance for contraception is more than evident here.

Urban Hindus have given up on having children. Urban elections will be entirely Muslim dominated in a decade.

The rural areas are still a bit better, except in West Bengal and Assam. If you see carefully, the large presence of Muslims in rural areas was the reason that it took forever to douse the communal riots in West UP and Assam.

Rural areas completely dominated in West Bengal and Assam. West UP and Kerala follow up.

This means that within the next 15 years Muslim youth will form a majority in these regions, specially the urban ones. And don’t expect this trend to change even after Muslims achieve population parity in their local areas. After all, Hindu genocide in Pakistan and Bangladesh did not happen very far in the past.

Well, talking of Bangladesh — in contrast to the above, sample the Hindu population there under various age groups, as shown below:

A brief look, and clearly one could see how the ‘Hindu future’ is shaping out — or rather, phasing out — of the demographic picture there. The next time your Bangladeshi friend boisterously asserts that Hindus are doing very well and rather prospering more than the minorities in India, you know what to serve him piping hot!

Search for national language: Is Sanskrit the answer?

Rajiv Malhotra’s new book, The Battle for Sanskrit, which is going to be launched soon is a great attempt at rescuing the discourse on Indology and Sanskrit from the clutches of western pay masters, who strictly guard the academic debate on interpretation of Sanskrit texts and have completely boxed out the traditional Indian schools. But while Rajiv Malhotra is busy in dismantling the western hold on Indology, an equally important question that one should ask is about the continued use of English as the national language of India.

The need for national language

What defines a culture, if not its own language. The reason that the national language formed the most controversial topic during Constitution debates, should itself explain the important role of language for national polity. Given the high passions that marked these debates, the constitution assembly agreed to use English for fifteen years and then switch to Hindi. But when the time came for this switch, Lal Bahadur Shastri buckled under the pressure from Southern states.

Given that language evokes raw passions even today and forms an important part of identity, the debate on national language is even more relevant. English cannot embody the ethos of Indic civilization and is fast eroding native cultures around the world and not just India. It would not be an exaggeration to state that if you lose your language, you lose your culture.

The new language policy

Before starting any debate about national language, one needs to ensure that the existing local languages are given their proper due and the national language is not forced upon people in a top-down fashion.

The current policy that is used in the country is Local language+English i.e. people start with learning their local language and use English for administration and business purpose. But given the difficulty people face to learn a foreign language, the number of people actively using English fluently is still less than 10% of Indian population.

Given that learning outcomes are best in local language, it would be good to stick with local language as the first choice in every region. The new language policy should aim towards (Two Indian languages)+English as the goal for future students. Among the two Indian languages, the first should be the local language and second should be a choice among other Indian languages.

Sanskrit as the national language

The one language which best captures the ethos of Indic civilization is Sanskrit. The battle for Sanskrit will reach its definite conclusion only by adoption of Sanskrit as the lingua franca of India and its rejuvenation on national level.

Apart from the accolades showered on Sanskrit by modern linguistics, Sanskrit forms the bedrock of all Indian languages. It is only Sanskrit which breaches the language divide between North-South India.

Giving primacy to one language and imposing it on other regions usually generates hatred and seems imperialistic. But since Sanskrit is not spoken anywhere in India, it resolves this issue by default because unlike Hindi, even north Indians will have to make an effort to learn Sanskrit.

What makes this plan for Sanskrit really difficult is the feasibility and implementation since there are few Sanskrit speakers today and everyone else would have to learn it from scratch. There would be a backlash from people who already use English as according to many of them it would be a wastage of effort and energy when everyone else is switching to English in the age of globalization. This argument makes sense from an efficiency point of view but is efficiency a good measure when it comes to preservation of culture and nationhood?

No amount of GDP growth can compensate for the loss of culture and treasure trove of wealth that is currently hidden from Indians due to lack of Sanskrit knowledge. Also, revival of Sanskrit is one of the best ways to keep local languages alive due to its overlap with other languages while simultaneously fulfilling the goal of adopting a national language other than English and finally breaking away from colonial legacy.

Marital Rape: An Oxymoron

Contextual editorial illustration for the restored article.

There is a lot of buzz going on lately on why marital rape is evil and should be recognised on par with rape. But is there any merit to such a statement?

Why Marital rape is an oxymoron?

What is marriage? Marriage is the union of man and a woman in a society such that both pledge exclusivity of sexual relations to each other so that they can raise their kids in a stable environment. The exclusivity of sexual relationship is the reason why society views adultery as a crime and makes it punishable as a criminal offence, since it involves breaking of the exclusivity pledged in the marriage. So, marriage — by virtue of the exclusivity of sex it pledges to the marital partners — is implied consent for sex, since if such implied consent is not there, there is no meaning to the exclusivity of sexual relationship between husband and wife, as either one can deny sex to the other without any valid reason and deprive the other of a basic human need. So the very term marital rape is an oxymoron. Both cannot go hand in hand.

Legal implications of recognising marital rape

Marital rape law would be ripe for abuse just like the dowry law has been misused umpteen times without any significant reduction in demand for dowry. The current medical technologies cannot distinguish a rape and a rough sexual act reliably. Medical examination can only show that rough sex had taken place. So it is legally difficult to prove rape against rough sexual act. And in such cases, conviction of the accused (in this case husband) will depend only on the accounts of husband and wife on what happened. In such a case, any sexual act can be used by the wife to get revenge on her husband by falsely accusing him of rape, which could not be proven or disproven in court. So when evidence would be iffy at pinpointing rape or rough sex, there is high chance for the law to convict an innocent husband. While this is the problem now, if feminists and other women’s rights activists successfully manage to change the present “innocent until proven otherwise” law to “guilty until proven otherwise”, it will become a legal nightmare for India — with the husband needing to use a consent app or file written consent for every time the couple have sex, or risk losing his life over a false complaint. While such false complaints do exist now (to the tune of 53%), it won’t be as bad as the proposed law because unlike other cases of rape where the innocent man can prove his innocence by using medical tests, no such possibility is there for an accused of marital rape. In a country where 90% of the dowry cases are false and are used only for revenge and send families to ruin, it’s not really that hard to imagine the ruin this law will have on husbands and their families. And the usual argument made for recognising such a law is that women should be protected no matter how many men get destroyed in the process. It is a bit ironic and hypocritical that the ones who claim to be for equality of genders have no problem saying that a hundred innocent men can have their lives ruined so that a single woman can be saved from rape.

Societal implications of recognising marital rape

This is another issue which is often overlooked by the women’s rights campaigners and feminists who are pushing for recognising marital rape — the effect of such a law on family and society.

So what these people want us to believe is that recognising marital rape on par with other rapes is actually good for women and society as a whole. But is it really so? If marital rape is recognised, every husband has to be wary of being accused of rape by his wife and have to have written evidence of consent for sex. Not only will it reduce the bonding strength in the marriage, it will also make sure that neither of the couple will have enough trust which is needed for a marriage to work. So when such a law is recognised, it would result in the marital bond becoming loose and we will end up like western societies with 50% divorce rates and 50% fatherless children. Is it what our society should be aiming to achieve? A society of lonely kids and single mothers like in the west? And what exactly are the feminists hoping to achieve by this law, which is not possible under current laws? Do you think that if a wife accuses her husband of rape and sends him to prison for seven years, he will come back and live with her again? Seriously, which wife is going to accuse her husband of rape if she really wanted to live with him? Also, if there is such a complaint it will lead to dissolution of the marriage. So this law will only be useful for women getting divorce and then beating their husbands with another false complaint to extract revenge.

How effective will recognising marital rape be?

As per current law, forced sex with a spouse is a ground for divorce and so is withholding of sex. So a wife who does not want to have sex with her husband any more can file for divorce and after court-mandated separation cannot be forced into sex by her husband, as such an act would be considered rape under current law. So this law is not for wives who want to live with their husbands. This law can only help wives who are not going to live with their husbands — i.e. future divorcees. So this is a law for nobody as we already have divorce laws to achieve these goals.

So what exactly is marital rape law recognition going to do for the society? The benefits of such a law will be negligible compared to the massive downsides of such a law in society. Finally, almost everyone who is in this debate thinks that these laws are an issue of men vs women along the lines of Marxist class warfare. This is a hugely flawed reasoning. Men and women are not separate classes. Any law which punishes men for no reason will end up punishing women too. Today’s women who are pushing for marital rape to be recognised will not only bear sons or grandsons, but are also related to their fathers and brothers. Be careful what you wish for is a very apt description of this problem. The way current dowry laws punish not only innocent men but also an equal number of innocent women, a similar marital rape law would also be open for abuse. Under current laws, when a couple runs away from their families who are against their marriage, rape is the first charge brought against the boy by the girl under pressure from her family. Now imagine the hardships of this couple under marital rape law when the boy would not only be slapped with forced marriage but also forced rape by the girl’s family.

So it is not good enough to claim a false moral high ground and study everything from a class warfare perspective while ignoring the residual ill-effects on society. Also, such laws will hurt the sanctity of marriage as seen in Dharmic traditions and force men to completely opt out of marriage as an institution. We would then have to contend with our daughters and granddaughters being single moms and lonely crazy cat ladies as in the west. We should try to preserve our superior social and cultural fabric instead of blindly aping the broken marriages model of the west which has only led to misery and a crime-infested cesspool that is western society today.
