" What have Brahmins done other than beg for alms?"- asks this political stooge.

I have noticed that people like him, who slander me everyday and spread lies about me, have a deep seated hatred for Brahmins.

This is a common factor driving them all.

Brahmins gave their blood for the freedom of this country.

The first bullet against the British in 1857 was shot by a Brahmin named Mangal Pandey.

According to Meenakshi Jain, 70% of freedom fighters who were kiIIed by British bullets were Brahmins.
Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Chandrashekhar Azad, Jhansi Lakshmi Bai, Mangal Pandey;

Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, Batukeshwar Dutt, Ram Prasad Bismil, Chapekar brothers;

G Gokhale, Tatya Tope, Pattabhi Sitaramayya, Pingali Venkayya, Subramania Bharati, Vinoba Bhave, Rabindranath Tagore
These are just some of prominent names. The list is long.

In spite of the fact that Brahmins shed their blood for this country, some of these politcal stooges taunt Brahmins with beggar trope day & night.

This is based on their faulty understanding of the concept of Bhikṣā
Bhikṣā is not conceptually equivalent to "beg".

Many Shastras forbid Brahmins from earning any wealth. An ideal Brahmin is not supposed to be attracted to materialism. He should acquire his victuals only by Bhikṣā.

Many Brahmins took this injunction seriously & gave up wealth
There are anecdotes of numerous brahmins donating all their wealth and subsisting only by Bhikṣā.

When Brahmins lived by Bhikṣā, education was free.

When Brahmins lived by Bhikṣā, healthcare was free.

This was how the premodern India could manage to subsist in the past.
If Brahmins monopolized trade, they would have been richer than other ancient communities like Jews. But concentration of wealth would have made life difficult for others.

Ergo, Hindu scriptures forbade brahmins from earning

This is why we find many anecdotes of poor brahmins.
But instead of acknowledging the sacrifice, they mock Brahmins everyday using this trope of Bhikṣā.

Dear @narendramodi I am an admirer of your good work. But I am surprised that you follow such an abusive Casteist Brahmanophobic misogynist.
@narendramodi Do they not know that RSS was founded by a Brahmin named KB Hedgewar?

Do they not know that political Hindutva was pioneered by another Brahmin named VD Savarkar?

Do they not know that even their current Sarsanghchalak is a Brahmin?

They still ask "what have Brahmins done?"
@narendramodi This is Shiva in his Bhikshatana form.

Shiva is frequently depicted as asking for alms ( Bhikṣā).

Will these political stooges now mock Shiva too?
@narendramodi Odd day: Brahmins were poor beggars. They begged us for alms.

Even day: Brahmins oppressed us for 50000000000000000000000000000000000 years.

This is THEFT!

Indians had Algebra BEFORE Mμslim prophet & religion was even born.

Here is Bakhshali Manuscript dating back to 3rd century CE. It is an Algebraic treatise. Have you anything like this from the Arabian desert? No, you simply plagiarized Algebra from Indians! https://t.co/cWXRNYMgDt


The Bakhshali manuscript, which has been carbon dated to 3rd century CE, is an ancient Hindu treatise on Arithmetic and Algebra.

The Algebraic problems deal with simultaneous equations, quadratic equations, arithmetic
geometric progressions & quadratic indeterminate equations.


Bakhshali isn't earliest Indian Algebraic treatise. Early Algebra is found in Shulba Sutras dating back to at least 800 BC. Traditional Algebra reached its pinnacle in the works of Aryabhata & Bhaskara.

What makes Bakhshali special is it offers mathematical proof to its theories


It is surprising to see that even after the ancient Indian algebraic treatise has been carbon dated to 3rd century CE by Oxford, they persist with "oh we invented Algebra. It is Halal".

A brief examination of the origins of "Halal Algebra" follows

https://t.co/eFIZ98FDrI


The earliest work of "Arabic Algebra" is the "Al-Kitāb Al-Jabr wal-muqābala" by Al Khwarizmi. The term "Algebra" comes from this book ("Al Jabr").

Before writing his treatise, Al Khwarizmi visited India. His book is a plagiarism from Indian Mathematics and an obvious one at that
The official name of this mosque is "Atala Devi Masjid".

It still stands on the pillars of the Hindu temple that originally stood at this site.

The temple was destroyed and its material was used in the construction of the Mosque. Egyptian?


"The original name of Jaunpur was Yavanapura".

"Even in the 19th century, no Hindu called it by the name 'Jaunpur'".

"The local Sharqi Sultans were great destroyers, and every mosque in Jaunpur was built on an existing Hindu temple"

- Archaeological survey of India report


"There is a Sanskrit inscription dating back to 8th century in the Southern Gate of the Jaunpur's Jami mosque".

"There is at present not ANY trace of old temples standing, for the Muhammadan conquerors did their work of destruction with unusual completeness"

- ASI report


"After destroying Karar Bir temple, Firoz Shah saw Atala Devi temple.

He ordered the temple to be destroyed immediately.

But Hindus violently attacked the workmen & pelted the emperor with stones.

Hindus were initially victorious"

- Tarikh I Jaunpur, translated by Pogson


"But fresh Muslim troops arrived from Jaunpur Capital Zafarabad.

An order for slaughter was issued.

Thousands of Hindu infidels became food to the d0gs of death. The river Gomati ran red with Hindu blo0d. Yet, Hindus did not refrain from fighting" -

Tarikh I Jaunpur
Nehru was officially classified as "Class A Prisoner".

He had newspapers, books, servants & coolies. He was allowed to walk out & meet others.

He was also allowed Switzerland trips "while technically imprisoned".

Savarkar was locked up in Kalapani & beaten up for 10 years


It was only once in his life that Nehru was treated just like any ordinary prisoner.

This was in Nabha Jail for 12 days.

Within 12 days, Nehru's father begged British viceroy.

He wrote an apology & assured that his son Nehru will never enter Nabha.

12 Days v/s 10 Years!

Nehru's jail in Ahmedabad had a badminton court specially built for Nehru and other top Congress leaders.

On his insistence, a library was made accessible to him during prison terms . That is how he could write books while "imprisoned".

A fitness instructor also attended to him

Nehru's jail terms were essential political stunts in building up his image as a great freedom fighter.

However, they seemed more like exotic getaways than real prisons

The 12 day imprisonment of Nehru in Nabha jail was harsh.

When Motilal came to know that his Nehru was locked up in a real jail, he rushed to meet Nehru but was forbidden by the administrator of Nabha.

Then, British viceroy came to the rescue of Nehrus and overruled this order

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
