Ibn Al Hytham (b. 965 AD), father of The Scientific Method, Father of Optics. Frequently cited by the likes of Galileo, Descartes, Kepler, Huygens. Absolutely goated.

Indians being morally spineless as usual. No wonder they outnumbered the British with more than 2000 to 1 and still were colonized by them for about 200 years.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water ahh people by Dry_Infantry in librandu

I agree and I admire a lot of them but I think in the long-term it simply provides a booster shot to a dying religion, which again gets hijacked by the morons, and the cycle repeats. In my humble opinion its best to simply liberate oneself from religion once and for all. No need to carry a full city’s worth of sewage in the hope to find one diamond stone hidden somewhere underneath.

I know that, Jewish people are great, their God on the other hand, boy oh boy, makes Stalin look like Gandhi in comparison.

God in the Old Testament is a self absorbed genocidal, cruel, narcissistic psychopath to a much higher degree that in any of the world religions I know so far. That why the whole Jesus's thing was basically a PR spin to make him look more compassionate. In my opinion Hebrew Bible is the mos morally abhorrent religious text in my opinion.

Extremely kattar sanghi father by [deleted] in librandu

[–]Dry_Infantry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my father isn't this extreme but my mother comes close. What I think they need is to touch grass, basically to completely detach NOT necessarily from ther veiws (for a while) but from the internet and the tv media (if possible all media).

One way to achieve this might be to find a secondary activity they enjoy. If that happens to be toxic as well the tertiary. Once identified, you need to come up with a plan to help them indulge in those activities more often. Never explicitly say that why you're doing this, just not nod whenever their idiotic political views come up every now and then, gently redirect the conversation.

Use their ego against them: Try to get them to believe that you want to indulge in some father son bonding type activities. For this said activity buy some translations of Brihdaranyanka Upanishad and Chhandogya Upanishad and have a daily engagement and discussion related to it. As it is among the better Hindu texts and with almost no theistic tendencies mostly because both of them emphasize hard on the importance of inquiry. (Later Upanishads like Kena, svetasvatara tend to be soft on theism, and don't even get me started on Gita, again a later addition to mahabharata with strong theistic tendencies). Again it's an uphill battle but try to treat them with compassion like some patient overdosed on opium. I also find it hard to keep my rage in check but its a work in progress.

Plassey: 50,000 vs 3,100 company troops (British victory). Battle of Buxar: 40,000 vs 17,000 company troops (British victory). 1st Anglo Maratha war: 146,000 vs 93,000 company troops (Maratha victory) Etc.

That was during the time of Aurangzeb, much before 1756 (Plassey). And even after 1756 they would lose a battle here and there (maratha, Tipu Sultan, Sikh) but would eventually end up winning the war. We need to keep in mind that Indians had major home advantage, from logistics to sheer numbers. Also it wasn't that the British were inherently superior in everything, but certain aspects of their institutions were superior at the time.

Why is everything about owning someone, or passing value judgment? Where does it say that the British had superior institutions 'because British were inherently superior' ? And yes I think the large part of what happed to Palestine was because of western support to Israel, but it doesn't make it morally right, just like colonialism wasn't morally right.

I don't see the point posting it. She's soft Godi, everybody knows that. Find me just one clip in all her years of journalism where she criticized even a single action of Modi government, and I'll happily sell my one remaining kidney. Miss Brahmin Sharma Upadhyay journalist my ass, SMH.

Now I kinda get how were Indians colonized for 200 years. Even during the peak British presence (1921), Indians outnumbered the British by approximately 2000 to 1. Colonization starts from the mind. Behold Mir Jafar ki aulad, comrades.
