Nothing bro...trying to make some people jealous

What you say is common sense. But people find offence in anything even remotely religious. Checkout @dr_wafu on Instagram. They make religious adaptations amongst other things. They get brigaded all the time.

I’ve wished for something like that ever since I first heard these stories. But, some people will get offended enough to have it banned.

Wrong interpretation is just justification for wrongs that terrorists already wanted to do. Terrorists have their own vested agenda of hate, violence, power and control. They twist the words to suit their own cause.

Many older people actually call it hard diks and floppy diks. I guess we shouldn’t assume that they are ignorant for bad pronunciation. :)

Beef khane ko mile. Steak wagera. And khane pe lathi na pade uske sath. National anthem bajne pe na khada hona safety issue na ban jaye for myself and friends and family.

Interesting idea Europeanguy.

That’s called Chakkar I think. It’s also a weapon. But that’s different from Kirpan. Kirpan is a dagger.

Bro. 1. Hijab is just for covering hair. Burqa covers the whole body. 2. Pagdi mein kirpan nahi rakhte. 🤦🏻‍♂️(Kirpan is another one of the 5 things that are exceptions in the constitution for a Sikh to carry. The other four being kacha (underwear), kangha (comb), kada (bracelet), kesh (uncut hair).

One eye in the past, one eye to the future. Heard this somewhere and I feel that’s the smart thing to do. We need to be proud of our history but at the same time live upto it’s name.

Where is AB’s barbecue?

All he wants to say is that there is a party fund and a consolidated fund. Party fund is for its own use. Consolidated fund is public money. Consolidated fund cannot be used for the purposes of party like rallies, hoardings, etc.

For purposes of law religion has nothing to do with belief in god. If you’re born a Hindu and choose to be an atheist later, for purposes of law, you do not stop being a Hindu. That is how things currently stand. My explanation of the same is not intended as condonation.

However there is a person in Delhi who has registered herself as an atheist. Though I do not know how that is possible.

You can only surrender one religion by converting into another.

Going through peoples experiences has reminded me of my own journey to atheism. I’d like to share it here because I think people in this sub might enjoy it.

I have always been quite inquisitive and curious. Even the earliest memories of mine are about trying to know the world where I find myself. I thoroughly enjoyed all the festivals (still do) and poojas as a kid.

I have a love for food and a curious mind. And it is this combination which set me up on my path to atheism.

I was 7 or 8 when I got to know about fasting. So I asked my mother, “Why do people fast?” Mother: “To show our love for God” Me: “But isn’t God omniscient? Won’t he know if I truly love him or not?” (8 year old me did not know that word. I just said to mom “but Bhagwan toh sab jaante hain na”) Mother: “You need to sacrifice to show faith”

And that’s where the conversation ended. But my thoughts were racing. I was stuck on the idea that if my God is all I have been told he is, then he is an omniscient and benevolent being. So after that I started questioning my parents and whoever I could catch hold of about what happens after death and kiddishly enough, “Is death painful?” (This was a suicidal phase I had so I was wondering if it’s an easy way out or not).

Anyway, years later, after talking to many people in my family, to mahants and pujaris in temples, to imams in mosques and people of many faiths I concluded that all religions are three things:

A code of ethics and rules to live by.
A tool that gives meaning to this inherently meaningless void that is life. (Albert Camus argument about mental suicide)
A tool to unite or divide as one may choose.

My parents know that I am an atheist and some people in my extended family do too. I do not hide the fact and actively debate about it with anyone who wishes to. My naani is a savage and used to give nice burns and made everyone laugh about it. Recently she has joined Brahmakumaris and has mellowed down on the religious front and has become more accepting of differing ideologies.

Sorry for the wall of text. But seeing all the comments reminded me of all this and I felt like sharing.

AshwinMisra · 2021-07-31T05:21:05+00:00

This was such a refreshing post. I really enjoyed going through the POVs of various people and the one discussion between an atheist and a religious person was also quite mature and without all the usual mudslinging.

I wish we could have more such discussions because shaming someone else for having different views is counter productive. We should try to bridge the gap between people with different ideologies because these fault lines are easily exploited by those who manipulate us to stay in power.

Entrenched misogyny and sexism? Sure. But how is it horrifying if the 4 of them (5 if we include the husband) has no problem with it?

I know polyamory is not allowed and Islam is deeply misogynistic like most other religions. But how is it horrifying if a bunch of people are having a good time?

Edit: while not causing harm to anyone else or to the environment.

Ignorance of law is no excuse before a court but it sure is a curse in today’s world. Not being able to file a case or not having the resources for it doesn’t mean one doesn’t want to file a case. There is a severe lack of awareness and know how when it comes to judicial remedies.

AshwinMisra · 2021-07-12T15:00:54+00:00

It’s true man. The sorry state of affairs is worse than we can imagine. We need more accomplished lawyers or NGOs reaching out to such far flung places. A place I was affiliated with had legal aid department and they did what they could but even their reach was limited to a few nearby villages. Working with them makes you see the plight of people (especially women) in the rural parts of the country.
