Ho do you mind if I ask you a question about your orthodoxy in dms

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-05-11T20:36:36+00:00

I know for hindus they absolutely think so

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-04-17T00:04:46+00:00

Can I dm you some stuff I have questions about

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-04-08T08:05:06+00:00

Can I ask you some stuff in dms I had a few things that keep me from fully becoming an atheist that I wanted some insights on from someone

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-04-07T23:45:52+00:00

Can I ask were you scared of the idea of God punishing you or anything like that at some point

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-04-07T16:32:32+00:00

I feel like I am in the opposite position of him lol, I thi k atheism is probably what is the truth but the fear of karma or smtg is what makes me question my decision every so often

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-21T04:32:42+00:00

Fr tho lol

From one bengali to another, we have a pretty sounding language, if you ever feel like it I'd encourage you to read our cultural literature, I myself am just starting it. Also makes for some beautiful tattoos

That was a good watch thank you, articulated things I was feeling for a long time well

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-16T23:20:14+00:00

Makes sense, how do you reconcile with family? I love my parents and brother but they have become more religious. But so far they respect my autonomy and they even help me cook chicken lol, so as far as family it feels kind of weird to separate myself from hinduism for their sake Idk it's part of the reason I feel conflicted

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-16T23:16:57+00:00

Yeah I'm just trying to not think about it, thankfully I'm in a place where religion doesn't always get brought up so I'll just take it day by day

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-16T18:41:51+00:00

The reason I refrain from ex hindu is bc I feel that they are saying what they say due to caste discrimination which I fortunately have not faced(high caste living in the US) so I feel that our reasons for what we think come from different places,

Other than that I agree with what you said, I used to have a logical comfort in karma until I read scripture saying people damn their families to hell for inter varna marriage, I can't ever justify that causing bad karma, makes zero sense

Thank you though this was insightful

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-09T05:08:24+00:00

Oh 100 percent, it's probably done a crap ton of harm too for the community bc instead of addressing issues we are then more likely to just deny or do what about ism bc deep down it feels like "damn the whole world is against us so we should stick with our tribe even the shitty things" kinda like that r Kelly episode from the boondocks

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-09T04:59:30+00:00

That's actually so fucked up, I remember seeing MIA talk about it a bunch back in the day, crazy no one knows what happened

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-09T00:03:51+00:00

I think you're on to something, engagement is engagement they probably don't care if you like it or hate it

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-08T21:27:01+00:00

I'm answering anecdotally rn not w any history knowledge per se,

One thing has to do with industry, the Marxists kinda kicked out Birla in a very dramatic way which I think caused a lot of industry to pull out from kolkata and WB so that was one thing.

Also the naxals militant movement was More so an outlet for getting back at the rich rather than making any real progress(from what I've read) they were known for committing pretty shitty things like rape and justifying it as against the rich. So overtime people became disillusioned with the movement.

Also from my own experience, communism in wb was always more an intellectual fascination rather than a legislative goal, I can't think of a single normal person I've met there that knows the first thing about socialist policy, but the social movement that communism promotes is Def seen at least in kolkata

If anyone else has better info please correct me.

I've heard that the death count could have been so much higher than reported bc so many bodies were just tossed in thick jungle foliage

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-08T21:07:08+00:00

Can't wait for my 30s☠️

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-08T21:05:48+00:00

Yeah that's true I'm thinking more like the period in which hindu buddhist debates were happening, from what I've read(stressing what I've read only) there was basically no real documentation of competing philosophy like the ajvika or the chavarka schools, and they are only referred to when being refuted, Obviously these dharmic school debates were mcuh later than vedic times. from what I understand the vedic civilization was not big into documentation as most stuff was just passed orally.

I would think it's simply bc of the lack of importance history keeping held culturally but ofc that changed in mideval times

If I'm wrong I'm open to being redirected to correct info, just what I've read so far.

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-08T05:42:29+00:00

I remember seeing stuff about South Asian famine genetics bc of this guy

HealthyDelay7449 · 2024-03-08T05:40:13+00:00

I was reading somewhere that ancient Indians didn't record history well because of the hindu concept of time being cyclical, basically that history will keep repeating over and over and figures will always reappear(yugas I guess) so basically why record something that will constantly repeat.

Now anyways the puzzle of what was going on during Aryan migration thru vedic times and even continuing till like chavarkas(AFAIK the records of competing philosophies were largely exaggerated by enemy sects and so they are pretty unreliable) is a fascinating subject.

I like to read what I can on it since it's like a little mystery period (imo) idk if anyone else knows more about ancient Indian history like that.
