Today Is International Day Of Mother Language And I Want To Celebrate My Mother Language Awadhi.

"Oh no hindu women wearing bindi, mehendi, churi payal, sindur?? No no no it's all a sign of patriarchy" "It's so misogynistic"

Because God forbid women want to look like the divine feminine.

And what do these people even mean by that? Do you think other cultures/religions don't have such traditions? Women in Asia have used jewellery and elegant garments and makeup as a way to enhance their beauty.

Hindu traditions and festivals just enslave women and reinforce patriarchal practices, karwa chauth for example, a festival where a married woman has to fast and stay famished for whole 24 hours, NO water and food and some of them don’t even swallow their own saliva and why? for the long life and well being of her husband. Husbands are placed on a pedestal in hinduism, he is more revered than god sometimes while reducing women to obedient and self sacrificing caretakers . It reinforces the idea that a woman’s purpose revolves around a man’s needs, his health, his happiness, his survival while her own identity and agency is considered as irrelevant. In this religion women’s existence will always be tied to men and are expected to embrace such misogynistic ideals or else she’ll be labelled as a “too westernised housewife” or other names they love calling when you go against the system

When Peace Becomes a Wound: India, Terrorism, and the Weight of Restraint

I’ve always believed in peace. I still do. I don’t dream of war. I don’t find glory in bloodshed. And I certainly don’t believe revenge heals grief. But what happens when the very peace you’re protecting is the reason you keep losing your people? What happens when the other side doesn’t believe in peace at all?

This blog isn’t written out of hatred. It’s written out of heartbreak, confusion, and the raw frustration of watching the same pattern play on loop - a terrorist attack, innocent lives lost, silence from the world, and once again, India is told to be “mature,” “calm,” and “restrained.”

How many Pulwamas? How many Pahalgams? How many coffins wrapped in our tricolour will it take before the world understands that peace without accountability is just a pause before the next tragedy?

India has tried. Again and again. Diplomatic talks, bilateral agreements, backchannel negotiations, and yet, terrorist camps continue to thrive across the border. How long are we expected to act like it’s not happening? And more importantly, why must we always be the ones trying?

Yes, I am anti-war. Yes, I believe in dialogue. But don’t confuse that with weakness. Because defending your people is not the opposite of peace ,it is the very foundation of it. What India did with Operation Sindoor wasn’t about revenge. It was about drawing a line , a line that should’ve been drawn long ago.

And let's address the said "diplomatic peace mediation" : the hypocrisy of international response. IMF loans flowing into a country that has harboured, sheltered, and at times even celebrated known terrorists. Social media giants gag Indian voices calling out terrorism, but conveniently stay silent when the hate flows the other way. Neutrality? Really? Or is it just comfortable indifference?

No, I don’t hate Pakistani civilians. I never will. But I will not pretend that both sides are equally innocent. I will not chant "peace" if it comes at the cost of more Indian blood. Because that’s not peace. That’s surrender.

India has done enough. Now, India is doing what it must. And if the world won’t understand that , maybe it never really cared.

I write this as someone who aches every time a soldier doesn’t return home. As someone who still wants peace , but not the kind that requires us to die for it.

Jai hind 🇮🇳

I have been thinking about this and realised that we don't actually have a deva or devi for beauty. People think it is Mata Lakshmi but it's not true. None of her Ashtalakshmi forms also have her represent beauty. Mata

The sibling pairs have different skin colours — Vishnu-Parvati are dark skinned, Shiv-Saraswati are fair skinned, Brahma-Lakshmi are golden skinned — and all of them are called beautiful.

So where does this concept of beauty even come from? That fair is beautiful and dark skinned is not? Does it come from the west? From goddesses like Aphrodite, Venus or Freya? Or were they also made to represent beauty in the modern world to suit white people's beauty standards?

I've been meaning to talk about this.

Don't blame all Kashmiris and Indian Muslims for terrorism. Okay ji.

But blaming all UCs for 5000 years of history is alright? Building a system which denies equal opportunities for ordinary general category Indians citizens is also acceptable?

How does that work?

Oh god. This is disturbing.

Rapists are not some alien species. They live amongst us. They grow in silence, in group chats and communities online. Getting away with all their tiny little acts of perversion. Until they get the confidence (backed by others like them) to commit such heinous condemnable acts.

The legal/ justice system will have to bring justice to this, we gotta keep pushing. They should be forced into taking a decision. Wish we just had enough international presence to put India's legal system in focus, so that they'd do something to save face

everyone who supports a rapist or is a rapist himself is a threat to women. these ppl are sick in the head. you won't believe me when i say this but they don't even respect our goddesses and create their own communities on reddit where they masterbate to their images or abuse many girls....this is their way of showing how much they disrespect us...the way guys talk about women is traumatizing

this just makes me more sick. abhi bhi ghamand hai apne gender pe??? im asking all the men here who are still quiet

if you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog. :)

1. I spent the Covid lockdown learning how to make homemade pasta 🍝 (but wish I had just started a tiktok😂)

2. My favourite season is summer 🌞 (but climate change is ruining it and I blame the rich and the greedy for it)

3. I love writing. I have been working on something since 2021 and so far I've only written 10 chapters🥲 (but the story is beautiful and deserves to be put out there for everyone to read)

From the below, I just want to draw a parallel

A woman, somewhere in India, gets assaulted. The news channels picks it up. The internet erupts. People are angry, grieving, and demanding justice.

Feminists across the nation say: it's happened again, we know the criminals are clearly men, it's always men, we need stronger laws to protect us, punishment needs to be harsh for assaults, men are the danger, let's not trust them, ever again.

Parents across the nation sit down with their sons and daughters and tell them - be careful around men, be cautious, be alert.

They don't ask them to stop talking to their male coworkers, their male friends at school or college, in the neighbourhood, they don't ask them to not board a cab if the driver is male. Or ask them to never share the same space as a man.

Because fear is exhausting.

And now a hate crime against Hindus is committed in Kashmir. The news covers it, it's all over the internet, everyone is grieving, fuming over it, talking about it. And we know why the victims were shot.

The only motive terrorists have is spread fear. And they've clearly sent across that message. But it's on us to fix it. Let's not ask others to not trust their Muslim friends, neighbours, coworkers, don't let this break those bonds. Just be alert, be careful, be cautious.

Don’t let this fear turn into hate. Don’t let one crime make you burn every bridge. Don’t carry the weight of suspicion everywhere you go.

anon legit went the caste system route and thought he did something

Connect everything to Caste - something never mentioned in scriptures to prove that Sanatan is bAd 🤷🏻‍♀️

If only we had the original manuscripts and texts, we'd be able to answer these questions. A lot of things get lost in translation, sadly ofcourse.

Reading is such a journey cz sometimes you know what you're reading and the story has a base but sometimes it's just mahabharat and you can do nothing about it.

literally sat down with clenched teeth and had to calm down myself after I started reading Sambhava Parva.
