1/n The more I read Gandhi, the more striking it becomes how much of an outlier he was in his times. While the entire world was pushing for systems and leaders that push for modernity, Gandhi was probably one of the major anti-modernity thinker and leader of the world

Putting Jesus, and Buddha in a car with a confederate flag? Really? Buddha would have hated western civilization for all the nihilism and individualism it has spawned, and would have hated a slave state too
TOGETHERNESS means the wholesome religions of the world can unite against woke unwholesome defilement, sin, bad karma or whatever you want to call it. #endwokeness

Not only does this tweet make the claim that Kannadigas are above Hindi-speakers, but it also claims that Germans are above Kannadigas. So in this guy's Linguistic Caste set-up, Germans > Kannadigas > Hindi-speakers. Holy Brown Sepoy moment.
Kannadigas, learn German, not Hindi. Always rub shoulders with those above you, not below you. When you rub shoulders with people above you, you gain more; when you rub shoulders with people below you, you lose more - socially, economically, culturally, and civilisationally.

The Education System is not the problem. Lack of civic character not being instilled by the state is not the problem. Lack of stringent rules for littering is not the problem. Lack of Consequences for littering is not the problem. But, This behaviour is due to caste?
Caste system is responsible for such rampant uncivilized behavior of people in India. Caste Hindus think it's their birth right to litter everywhere and the duty of lower caste sanitation workers to clean the dirt!

Interesting the “kantara bhootas are not Hinduism” crowd is quiet about the Al Jazeera article.

Emperor Meiji, within one generation, laid waste to the extremely oppressive caste system in Japan, which arguably was as ingrained in the society as it is in India. Maybe it's not as impossible as Indo-doompillers make it out to be.

I like the fact that our generation actually doesn't give a fuck about the Jewellery Heist at the Louvre, simply because we are dealing with processing more than 5 wars as of this year, after what looked like an era of peace.

Furthermore, during the civil war, the Sri Lankan government, with the support of Buddhist clergy, portrayed the conflict as a battle between the forces of Buddhism and Tamil separatism. This narrative depicted Tamils as enemies of the state and justified military actions.

Since the 1950s, Buddhist monks and nationalist groups have propagated the idea that Sri Lanka is the exclusive homeland of Sinhalese Buddhists. This ideology has been used to justify discriminatory policies and violence against Tamil Hindus, portraying them as threat to Buddhism

The Mahāvaṃsa recounts King Dutthagamani’s war against the Tamil King Elara to unite Sri Lanka under Buddhism. Sinhalese Buddhist nationalists invoked this to legitimise force. Black July (1983) saw mobs, often led by monks, attack Tamils, framing it as defending Buddhism.
It’s strange to see Tamils embracing Buddhism — the same religion once used to justify the slaughter of their people. And no, you don’t need Pa. Ranjith or Mari Selvaraj’s fan fictions to realize that.

Julius Evola's portrayal and interpretation of Buddhism is way more honest, coherent and real, as compared to BR Ambedkar's interpretation of Buddhism, which seems to try and paint the image of Buddha as a Marxist Revolutionary.

True Buddhism is the path of the warrior-ascetic, not the social-justice evangelist. It teaches mastery, not grievance; discipline, not indulgence. The Neo-Buddhist dreams of a Buddhism that abolishes hierarchy. The real Dhamma redeems man through the hierarchy of the soul.

Thus, authoritarianism in Buddhist lands is not a historical accident but an organic expression of the Dharma’s inner architecture. The calm face of the Buddha makes people forget that he was Kshatriya himself, and is a reflection of the same law, order as transcendence

In all these societies, Buddhism offers not a language of revolution but of sanctified order. The cosmos itself is hierarchical; merit ascends vertically, never horizontally. To rise is to perfect oneself, not to demand that all others sink to one’s level.

Even today, Japan’s reverence for hierarchy, ritual, and precision owes more to its Buddhist heritage than to any Western bureaucratic model. The bow of the salaryman is the echo of the monk’s prostration: submission not to man, but to order itself.

Feudal lords in Japan, especially under the Kamakura and Tokugawa shogunates, used monasteries as centres of training and surveillance. The Zen temple was both shrine and school, its abbot both mystic and administrator. Order was not just divine, it was logistically social.

Japan, too, absorbed Buddhism not as pacifism but as discipline. Zen entered the soul of the samurai: meditation became the method of composure before battle, and detachment became a weapon sharper than the sword. Enlightenment and death walked together.

Tibet’s old order was equally stratified: an aristocracy of reincarnate lamas, monasteries as landed estates, peasants bound by spiritual fealty. The Dalai Lama was both sovereign and saint, a union of temporal and transcendental hierarchy.
