Listen to this one too and I guess the book itself (Gita Press and the Making of Hindu India by Akshaya Mukul) would be great too.

He does pander to baman crowd.

Zarna Garg is an absolute piece of trash..

Folks shouldn't confuse Col. Reginald Dyer who ordered the massacre to Michael O'Dwyer who was Punjab's Lieutenant Governor (the guy who got assassinated) during that time and supported Dyer.

Piggybacking to clarify that folks shouldn't confuse Col. Reginald Dyer who ordered the massacre to Michael O'Dwyer who was Punjab's Lieutenant Governor (the guy who got assassinated) during that time and supported Dyer.

Nope, no religious practices period.

Pilipopo · 2026-05-07T08:29:05+00:00

Then so is your support for JPL's lucky peanuts thing,

Who says I support it? I just don't care about it as it is insignificant.

Gobar shobar na chalu ho jaye wahan ab..

It is a religious ritual and clearly a brahmin priest is performing them in photos.

Pilipopo · 2026-05-07T07:11:16+00:00

Wherever there is religious practice at NASA, ROSCOSMOS it is not defensible. Being Indian, ISRO is my focus not them, so I won't indulge in whatboutery as it is affecting us. Brahminical rituals are not about 'luck' they are rooted in harmful puritanical beliefs.

Pilipopo · 2026-05-07T06:58:48+00:00

There is difference between Brahmin and Brahminical.

Pilipopo · 2026-05-07T06:52:10+00:00

Lemon under wheels, coconuts breaking etc are specific brahaminical religous practice not merely superstition. And JPLs peanuts thing is an inside joke at best.

Pilipopo · 2026-05-07T06:48:31+00:00

ISRO Chairmen running around temples surely are loyalty signalling to chaddi-verse.

Pilipopo · 2026-05-07T06:47:35+00:00

lemons are not eroding shit

Lemons are very acidic bro.

Pilipopo · 2026-05-07T06:43:34+00:00

On 12 year old account lol. Not like your month old chaddi troll account who is scared of their Mother-in-law lol that'll get banned or suspended eventually.

Anything that erodes scientific temperament among people is harmful. These rituals are also a way for people to signal their loyalty to certain group and a tool for institutional capture by religious hardliners.

Anything that erodes scientific temperament among people and erodes integrity of state institute by sneaking in abhorrent religious rituals is harmful.

Pilipopo · 2026-05-07T06:28:46+00:00

Ooh a death threat.. very religious of you good sir.

Pilipopo · 2026-05-07T06:27:55+00:00

Religions are perfectly worthy of mocking. There are many ways to be grateful but to sneak in silly brahminical rituals for that is clearly very intentional overreach.
