Same Propaganda again and again without Reading anything just to justify burning Manusmriti which is one of the most progressive text of it's time.
The Verses mentioned here are same few verses which are repeated again and again without context.

First Manusmriti 2.213 and 2.214 -
The Context is of Brahmcharya, this teaching is for Brahmacharis mainly.
What it means is that -
स्वभाव एष नारीणां नराणामिह
It is natural for Men to have feelings towards women, that's Biological. However these feelings are not good for Brahmacharis(~Celibates) that's why word दूषणम् is used.
So Brahmacharis should remain careful when they are around women
Point to noted that ...
Manu is not preaching women here, he is not asking them to restrict themselves, he is asking men to be careful around women.
Acharya Medhatithi compares it with Magnet and Iron, Just magnet attracting to iron is natural these feelings are natural.
So Magnet attracting Iron has no fault of Magnet at all similarly there is no fault of women and it's natural.
How can this be even remotely misogynistic?
The only way one can find misogyny here is reading this after closing their eyes

This thread is specially for the savarna women who have been constantly abusing and mocking babasaheb from past two days.

Chptr 2 verse 214: a women's character is capable of only misleading men (by sexual desires) and not only fool but wise men fall in trap of women. Both become slaves of desire pic.twitter.com/g8tOpBQlDd

"Hinduism was one of the world's most easy-going faith traditions, famed for it's non-persecutory history."
I can assure you, it is NOT.
It is neither easy-going, nor non-persecutory. In fact it is the very opposite.
Thread.
Modern Hinduism is a British colonial concept, created in concert with Brahmins, who are at the "apex" of the caste system. The word "Hindoo" in fact, is of Persian origin, meaning a person who lives in the Indus valley.
Colonialists who attempted to study Indian religion in the 18th century (NOT, at the time, Hinduism) were baffled by it. Strata of people living distinctly (the caste system) with overlapping gods didn't fit into their Judeo-Christian understanding of religion.
Which has an ecclesiastical authority, a holy book etc., which Indian religions lacked. In studying "The Hindoo", colonialists prioritized textual sources of knowledge, which is where Brahmins, the priestly caste with a monopoly over education/text come in.
Brahminism was a distinct "religion" (although i don't really want to use the term in this way) that was frankly terrorized of other castes. In fact, the very basis of Brahminism is oppression. Brahmins had scholars who recorded *Brahminical* canon textually.

⁉️ ✅ Ask yourself this question: What was the purpose of yesterday’s White House speech about election fraud and vote-rigging?
✅ If you think it was all about Trump communicating to the people, think again. This speech was really about Trump communicating with Chris Miller
✅ and the DoD about foreign interference in the U.S. election while laying out the key national security justifications that are necessary to invoke what I’m calling the “national security option” for defending the United States against an attempted cyber warfare coup.
⭕️ Decoding President Trump’s Dec. 2nd speech:
https://t.co/G9kmUfVQzS
🇺🇸Consider what Trump said in yesterday’s speech. About 95% of this speech was filler. Only 5% really matters, as I detail below:
1. First, he lays out that he has a sworn oath to defend the United States
2. Constitution against the wartime “siege” that’s underway:
As President, I have no higher duty than to defend the laws and the constitution of the United States. That is why I am determined to protect our election system, which is now under coordinated assault and siege.
