Thread.
Recently, Harsimrat Kaur @HarsimratBadal_ claimed in parliament that Guru Tegh Bahadur protected the religion of Hindus despite of being a Non-Hindu. And Hindus owe a huge favor to others.
In this thread, I will show that Guru Tegh Bahadur was every inch a Hindu!

The content of the letter is particularly striking.
Guru Tegh Bahadur calls himself a devotee of Naina Devi.
Note. A devotee of Naina Devi. He does not mention Akal Purakh or Waheguru.
This is exactly how the followers of orthodox Hinduism identify themselves to this date!
He orders Sodhis of his line and all his Sikh followers to obey the aforementioned Brahmin Purohit.
This practice of appointing purohits is just what is referred to by some people as "Brahmanical Hinduism"
Kavi Santokh Singh's Sri Guru Pratap Suraj Granth preserves a very rare passage which throws light on what Guru Tegh Bahadur uttered in Mughal court.
"I believe my Hindu Dharma to be most superior.
How can I abandon that which is most dear to me?
Which gives so much happiness in this world & that,
Life is nothing before honour."
"They imprisoned me, the Guru of Hindus,
Whatever I said, they listened not"

A Buddhist monk falls in love with a woman.
Buddha asks him-"Brother, why are you in love with a woman.
Women are lustful, wasteful, vile, degraded woe bringers".
And then he tells the story about how wicked a woman can be.

Buddha declared that women could attain nirvana. While the Hindu thinkers denied the right to education to women of all castes and classes, the Buddhist sangha gave them the freedom to read and write. #Buddhism #WomenInBuddhism #Brahmanism#Ambedkar https://t.co/s4NPNOUHBK

This is nothing but THEFT and appropriation of Indian Heritage.
While this might look very trivial at the outset, this is a very major cultural appropriation.

What is Golden ratio?
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.
If two numbers be designated by a and b (a>b>0), then they are aid to be in Golden ratio if a/b=(a+b)/a
Thus, Golden Ratio is solution to quadratic x2-x-1=0(assuming a to be x and b to be 1 in the same ratio).
This approximates to 1.618033.
Since in a Fibonacci series every number(except first & second) is sum of the previous two, golden ratio approximates ratio of larger/smaller
How is Golden ratio important?
Golden nature is everywhere in the nature. Infact, Golden ratio is called Divine proportion.
According to latest research, universe is governed by Golden ratio.
Universe has a golden ratio that keeps everything in order.

Infact, the Golden ratio of Fibonacci series can be seen everywhere around us in the universe.
The petals of a flower and seed heads follow a Fibonacci series where each consecutive cycle is in golden ratio with the previous one

Cut the crap!
Your stupid & dishonest verbal gimmicks notwithstanding, the undeniable fact is that Buddha indeed compared Brahmins to dogs & concluded dogs were better.
Even traditional commentary on the verse says "Buddha comes Dogs to Brahmins, and Dogs come out better" https://t.co/1Aks88MSMX
To begin with, even the name of the Sutta is "Sona Sutta"( Dog sutta).
But this Sutta has nothing to do with Dogs. It is a rant against Brahmins. Dogs feature only when they have to be compared with Brahmins.
And every comparison concludes that Dogs were better than Brahmins
What is this Sutta about?
It is about Buddha's stereotyping and generalisation against Brahmins.
He begins by saying that Brahmins of his time mated with females of all backgrounds. He compares Brahmin sexual mating pattern with that of dogs.
Here Buddha condemns Brahmins of his time for intermarrying with other varnas/communities and compares them with dogs who mate with every breed.
This is not an innocent comparison. Sexual behaviour of dogs is known for its licentiousness and
This is the reason why words like "k*tti", "bit*h" denoting dogs is used as a grave sexual insult.
Although modern Buddhists flaunt egalitarianism now, for the historic Buddha intercaste marriage was a horror that amounted to licentious social behavior resembling dogs.

Buddha telling deterioration in the Brahmins of his time. He don't compared Brahmin to Dogs.
He said "Monks , these 5 ancient Brahmin Practices are now Practiced by dogs ,not by Brahmins ...

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" -
