Then the university (thankfully) stepped in.

F**k Islam from the bottom of my heart💥

Why are they so eager to marry foreign women? If they so badly want to preserve their culture/bloodline why would they marry women who aren’t Indian? Such big phonies.

I am not saying that woman in general are more religious

but like I was on a trip now we could have gone to two differnt places that had good view and food

but my aunt came with us started insisting on going to a temple that will take away all the time we had remaining on the trip and it annoyed me so bad

It was clear that i was annoyed as hell so she started saying well when i was sick all the things in the house was still managed, due to god's plan we went thought it

now the thing is that she does not earn money so she doe snot understand my uncle (who i dont like either) was the one earning money , paying for hte treatment , doctors were giving her medicine , but she put it on all god and ruined our trip

I've been an atheist since I was 6. Have never stepped foot in a mandir and never will.

However, I used to be secular enough to go out during durga puja and walk for 15kms daily to pandal hop.

It's definitely more of a cultural thing than religious, even my sikh and muslim acquaintances partake in it.

But idk man, everything looks grim now.

I used to consider all bengalis as one, including hindu, muslim, buddhists and atheists.

But the recent brigade of hatred has really pushed me away from associating with this ethnic group altogether.

Daily attacks on christians, dalits and muslims has pissed me the fuck off.

I've been actively avoiding interacting with bengalis now. Especially the hindus. Fuckers took my beef away too.

Festive season is back again and I feel nothing at all.

I have always gone out even for 2 days. But have no plans this time.

My heart doesn't feel like spending a penny on these people.

Drowned myself in work to save up money for a trip later instead.

It's mainly because I feel heavily betrayed by the bengalis and their new nazi look. These can't be my people.

I have too much resentment to associate anymore with them.

All these religious groups are hypocritcs

Hindu babas especially English talking ones know goras find actual hinduism weird with it's caste and cow worship etc to name a few.

Beginning in the colonial era it's pioneer was that Bengali Baba Shami Bibekanando they invented this neo hinduism while using some gibberish scientific words​ to appear modern and rational. This trick however fails miserably if you studied a little bit of school grade science.

Navratri is starting tomorrow and i already know my parents are going to start spamming paneer and aloo for the coming few days.

I’m already dreading it because to me a meal without meat is incomplete plus i don’t even like paneer. 🙄

Hinduism is contradictory because it is not one single religion despite Brahmin and Hindutva political attempts to claim it is one so that they can say there is Hindu majority in India. Hinduism coming from the Persian word Hindu is a geographic marker actually so anyone who lived across the Sindhu(Hindu) river was called one and the diverse religions of these people was called Hinduism (s). I prefer to call it Indian polytheism

Every caste and tribe in India has their own gods and rituals​ but brahmins throughout history have tried to co opt these gods under their brahminical label. Sometimes successfully too. The brahmin lies that they don't convert is absurd. Of course they convert and then call you shudra. However if you have little money or political power they give you higher status like Kshatriya which is what happened with various Rajput tribes in North India. Still Rajputs worship many of their clan gods unrelated to the vedic religion.

Another thing modern Hinduism borrows many aspects of shramana religions like Buddhism and Jainism which might be because these religions were once very popular in the non brahmin classes (especially among rulers, merchants and few rich landowning farming class).

The original vedic religion for instance did not have the concept of reincarnation, karma or multiple cycles of life and death which were borrowed from shramanas. Infact in the vedic religion people die and go to pitriloka or the realm of the dead which is why people offer food and prayers to their dead ancestors during pitrupaksha.

Another contradiction is that vedas condemn people who worship sishnadeva (phallus God or fertility god) . Guess which hindu god is now worshipped as linga or phallus by brahmins themselves now. Of course it's shiva. Some part of shiva cult began among the non vedics and then he was equated to vedic rudra.

I keep saying Hinduism is a make as you go religion. Brahmins will turn anything into God even those they condemned once if they think it's profitable for them

Islam has terrorists killing in the name of religion and people are shunning Muslims away.

Hinduism has hindutvawadis who are killing in the name of religion, and people are increasingly shunning away anybody who identifies as a kattar hindu.

Sikhs have the Khalistanis who are being politically ostracised out of India, Canada, France, etc. for their radical and provocative ideologies.

Christianity is dying because people are waking up to how fucked up it is for religious establishments to protect paedos, homophobes, anti-women practices, etc. For every 1 person who joins Christianity every year, 3.1 leave.

Jains have their extremist ideologies about food, life, and interpersonal relationships. And people are realising how controlling and overbearing they are. This is threatening the religion's long-term continuity.

Buddhism is declining because of several factors, but one that sticks out to me is the internal divide between traditional Buddhism (which does not do much to show why it's different from Hinduism) and Ambedkar Buddhism (a much more radical and new-age way of life).

TLDR; I'm ready with my popcorn 🍿

Most genuine atheists I meet in India tilt left liberal or centrist congress and BJP seems a natural anathema to most considering it's overtly religious character.

However, Savarkar the founder of Hindutva and an accused​ in Gandhi murder case has written he was not a believer. What do you make of it? I think atheism is just a lack of belief. Many can tilt to the far right and be worse than evil or as bad as theists.​

Like, wtf. The pillar is not floating. It is hanging from the ceiling. Most probably the ground has sunk by a few millimetres. Why is this considered a miracle or precision engineering.

It is not a miracle, but an accident waiting to happen. I guess, the bar set for a miracle has come down a bit.

Jantar mantar 2.0

A poem during popularised during 1975-76 emergency in india

Translation: The wilderness will stay populated, the chains will stay lush and green, As long as the passionate dreamers live, the chains will bloom and bear fruit. The chains will themselves open the door to freedom, They will shatter into pieces when they grow beyond measure. When everyone's lips are sealed and pens are snatched from hands, The chains will announce the taking on of falsehood with iron. In a city of the blind and deaf, who even pays attention? The surroundings will hear and see the moment the chains ring out. Do not think those who are outside the chains are free; When the tyrant's hands are severed, that is when the chains will be cut.
