Came across a most brilliant argument (likely based on शङ्कर भाष्यs) by जगद्गुरु of शृङ्गेरी. The talk is linked below (it is in tamil) There can be two questions posed to vedAntin traditionalists (this is paraphrased by me, though it features in a different form in the link as

It's the same thing with cricket It's just the wrong question to ask - What would Bradman average today... What matters is how much greater he was relative to his peers The footage that survives shows how far ahead was his athletic approach to batting relative to the more

It's all very well to appreciate more recent actors and artists But everyone is standing on the shoulders of giants. You can't watch a film by ignoring the "release date" and the prevailing standards of the time

People have no sense of history or proportion Dilip Kumar was the world's first method actor (not just India's). He predates Brando, James Dean, Montgomery Clift The fact that you are mentioning him in the same breath as Raaj Kumar - a second rung ham - is a travesty
Dilip Kumar is actually the most overrated actor in Indian Film Industry, after the Hindi Raaj Kumar. I hate his politics, but Kamal is among the finest actors. @rohithverse obviously hasn’t seen Pathinaru Vayathinile Raja Parvai Apoorva Sagodharalgal And the riotous

I know a lot of people mock the monarchy But these guys work a lot harder than they would if they weren't royals... If you strip them of royalty, then have enough private wealth to lead indulgent lives, living it up in every sense Instead they are forced by the "system" to
This is Prince William going to an alleged "Climate Summit" called COP30. Look carefully. What do you see?

In Ramanand Sagar's serial they play in the background snippets from भू सूक्तम् and मृत्तिका सूक्तम् from तैत्तिरीय शाखा for every ceremony... Be it putrakAmeShTi yaj~na, rAma's nAmakaraNa, upanayana, vivAha etc So silly. Yet he can get away with it in India as audiences know

A lot of liberals ask - Why are Indians so upset at some western guy circulating a "cow dung" festival video? Have a sense of proportion. When seen in isolation it may not be a big deal. But when these posts are relentless and part of a broader anti-India narrative, that's

I know people on our side (be it H'tva vAdis, raitas or trads) won't like this. But this is the great failure of our entire ecosystem. We have ceded control of the "liberal" discourse to those who are inimical to our H-religion and society 70 years ago, this wasn't the case.
This man just explained to Martin Scorsese what ‘Annihilation Of Caste’ and Dr Ambedkar mean to modern India and its very foundations. “Shakpeare had said ‘What’s in a name?’. Come to India and find out”- @ghaywan A joy and an honor to witness this QnA, this moment.

A dialogue in Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan illustrates the link between adharma (used in the sense of lack of adherence to ritual) and oppression (atyAcAr) अधर्म -> अनाचार -> भ्रष्टाचार -> अत्याचार

South Indians of all hues take offense at talk of migration... But the fact is - lots and lots of people moved to South India only after ~300 BCE or so (not just brahmins but across castes). And this continued for the next 1000 years.. Even today "Deccan" population density
'Pre 300 CE there were no Brahmins in South India' Dravidoid commentator reads the above and says: Yes. We know that. Our land was the OG egalitarian Dravidanaadu back then. Aryan Vandheri Parpanar kalchar came later and colonised us. But we are winning now thanks to our

Indians dislike the idea of flux and change, and strangely they are not used to thinking in terms of large time-scales and their implications (though our texts are full of v v large numbers) We all want to think we've been living like this in our current areas of residence for
