Only the most gobar-filled head would ever associate an Atheist, Marxist revolutionary as a RSS/Sanghi/BhaJPa icon.
Why dont they use their own "icons" for this : Savarkar, Golwarkar, Hedgewar, Godse 🤣😂
Thinking of driving all the way, but trains seem more convenient..
TLDR : RSS operative Mohun Bhagwat is scheduled to hold an event on MSG, NYC on 29th Aug to address the Brown Shorts, and locals are protesting against it.
'#RSSoutOFNYC
Where does RSS get all this money to book such a huge iconic venue like MSG? Hawala ?

I know that borders today are not the same as they were millennia ago, but the Buddha is definitely treated as a part of Indian history and culture today. How did he become absolutely associated with India and not Nepal?

Following is Atal Behari Vajpayee's confessional statement of September 1, 1942, taken down in Urdu and signed by him, and the magistrate's handwritten note in English :
TRANSLATION OF CONFESSIONAL STATEMENT:
“On August 27, 1942, Ala was being recited in Bateshwr Bazaar. At about 2-p m Kakua alias Liladhar and Mahuan came to the Ala and delivered a speech and persuaded the people to break the forest laws. Two hundred people went to the Forest Office and I along with my brother followed the crowd and reached Bateshwar Forest Office. I and my brother stayed below and all other people went up. I do not know the name of any other person, except Kakua and Mahuan, who was there.
“It seemed to me that bricks were falling. I could not know who was razing the wall to the ground but the bricks of the wall were certainly falling.
“I along with my brother started to go to Maipura and the crowd was behind us. The above mentioned persons forcibly turned out the goats from the cattle-pound and the crowd proceeded towards Bichkoli. Ten or twelve persons were in the Forest Office. I was at a distance of 100 yards. I did not render any assistance in demolishing the government building. Thereafter, we went to out respective homes.”
Signed: S. Hassan
1942 Signed: Atal Behari Vajpai.
The statement was recorded under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). The magistrate appended the following and written note in English to the statement.
I have explained to Atal Behari son of Gauri Shankar that he is not bound to make a confession and that if he does so, any confession he may make may be used as evidence against him. I believe that this confession was voluntarily made. It was taken in my presence and hearing and was read over to Atal Behari who made, it; it was admitted by him to be correct and it contains a full and true account of the statement made by him.

Can we create a new seperate sub for this ?
Similar in concept to r/Hindutvafiles and r/Thullabrutality
Dear Avarnas
They are coming. The IT cell has been activated. The Godi media is running scripted shows with brahmins like Harsh Dubey Chobey to push the narrative. All Reddit subs are filled with the same anti-resevation talking points. This is THEIR standard playbook.
Let it come.
Please take a step back and chill before you are triggered by any of it.
These m0rons do not realize that 85% of the beneficiaries of reservations are HINDUS (OBC, SC) ?? The very same folks who are the footsoldiers of their brahmin hindutva movement 😂. The very same people from whom they stole all the Mandir movement donations. How much are they going to steal from these people, and then still claim to have their interests at heart?
RIP Hindu Ekta.
Second, their brahminist talking points have not changed. These are easily countered - you all know already how to do it. What they will bring is a lot of casteist shyt as is their inherent nature. Let them. Goad them into being even more vile - let it all come out from them. Screenshot it , archive it. Document this vile ideology that lives amongst us and show it to the world.
Every non-savarna/avarna needs to see this, and that it exists pretty blatantly.
They need to be exposed.
Jai shree ram 🚩
Jai Parashuram 🔱
Please do this chalisa, instead of standing for the country
Putting this under "Art".
Imee Ooi's is a Malaysian who sings in Mandarin, Pali and Sanskrit about the Buddha's life and other Buddhist themes.
Very chill vibes

The Story Behind the Heart Sutra
The Heart Sutra represents a monumental shift in the history of Buddhist philosophy.
The Setting and Speakers
Unlike traditional sutras where the historical Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) gives a direct sermon, the Heart Sutra takes place in a deep meditative gathering at Vulture Peak in Rajgir, India. The Buddha does not speak directly for most of it. Instead, through the silent power of his meditation, he inspires a profound dialogue between two figures:
Dismantling the Foundations
When Avalokiteshvara addresses Sariputra, he ruthlessly deconstructs early Buddhist psychology. He lists the Five Skandhas (the building blocks of human experience: body, feelings, perceptions, mental constructs, and consciousness) and states that every single one of them is empty of a permanent self.
The text acts as a "spiritual shock therapy". In traditional lore, some advanced monks listening to this teaching were so startled to hear that their hard-earned spiritual attainments were also "empty" that they allegedly suffered heart attacks. Its purpose is to slice through our ultimate layer of ego—including spiritual ego—to show that clinging to concepts of enlightenment can become just as much of a trap as clinging to material wealth.
The core message of the sutra revolves around the concept of Śūnyatā, commonly translated as "emptiness". Rather than meaning "nothingness," emptiness in this context signifies that nothing exists independently; all things are interconnected, fluid, and constantly changing.
The chant outlines several key philosophical teachings:
Despite so many things in common with Buddhism, including commom origins in the Sramanic traditions and a shared history for 1000s of years - that the Jains today act like psudo-savarnas ?
Even on politics, they tend to side with Brahmins.
I wouldnt be surprised if I came across a Jain being casteist to Shudras too
Pretty much every track of the album is a timeless masterpiece
