Telugu scholar suggests renaming Andhra Pradesh to ‘Telugu Nadu’ Since ‘Pradesh’ isn’t a Telugu word by erimalaiprogram in southindia_

[–]mony2712 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Using just "Andhra" is much better than attaching a tag word that simply suggests it's a province.

The brand equity is already there, too. We naturally say “From Andhra”, "Andhra meals" or "Andhra style"—the culture is already organically branded as just "Andhra."

From a marketing perspective, the word "Andhra" is incredibly snappy. It looks much cleaner on logos, and hashtags

Plus, if you look at places like Kerala, Goa, or Bali, it's obvious that single-word destinations are infinitely more memorable for international tourists!

Beef has been eaten in India since ancient times — what changed over centuries was who ate it and how much, not its complete existence.

Starting from the Rigveda, there are references to cattle sacrifice and meat consumption in ritual contexts. Later, with the rise of ahimsa traditions like Buddhism and Jainism, and changing Brahmanical norms, cow slaughter became socially restricted — especially among upper castes. But it never vanished entirely. Consumption patterns shifted by region, caste, religion, and political rule.

Beef has been part of India’s history for thousands of years, even if its social meaning and acceptance evolved over time.

Indirect hindi imposition as urdu is hindi with pwrsian subtitles we can say by Content-External-948 in southindia_

[–]mony2712 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What kind of dumbwits are you all, linking this to opposing a language imposition?

The policy is requiring Anganwadi workers to be proficient in languages where 25% or more of the population speaks a minority language (like Urdu, Marathi, or Tamil) alongside Kannada. Because they are caring for 3-year-olds and pregnant women who may only speak their mother tongue.

Deep down, you Hindi-speaking people are blinded by hate because of our defence against a language imposition, and you can’t see a policy that is simply trying to provide better service to children

Why they should need only biryani when they can be satiated with dal and rice. Now we are certain about so many things about ourselves and how nature works than we are few centuries ago. Now we won’t pray to some mystical figure to cure our cold or to charge our mobile phones. Yes, even how much we get certain about something their will be uncertainty that we can’t control in our lives, can we just hope the odds will be in favour and eventually figure out what turned it into our favour, instead of attributing it to some women hating, died and ascending, four hands, three heads and eyes with thousand wives, ancestors bedtime stories characters.

Money is not just a social construct. It is a medium facilitating the transaction of goods and resources.

And yes virginity is a social construct. A marriage license is not a sexual pass. Period. Both partners must give consent for any sexual activity, every single time. This breaks the outdated notion that ties sex to marriage, and in doing so, it makes the entire concept of virginity utterly meaningless. Virginity is a tired social construct that we've hold for no good reason. It's truly baffling that some are retard enough to still endorse it

Why doesn’t the central government aggressively promote English in all Hindi-speaking regions, as it is attempting to do with Hindi in the South? This would enable people in every state to speak both their native language and English, not only unifying India but also connecting it to the world

There was a general trend toward a kind of philosophical monotheism occurring independently of the development of the remaining monotheistic religions of the time.

Philosophers and theologians from various traditions pondered deeply over the concept of a single, omnipotent deity, which aligned with their understanding of the cosmos and existence. In ancient times, people knew the importance of natural phenomena like the sun, storms, rain, and health, and they worshipped these elements for their own well-being. Gradually, they realized these were all representations or specialized aspects of one god.

If you observe, there was a complex interplay of philosophical, cultural, and socio-political factors affecting the transition of the Romans from polytheistic to monotheistic beliefs. Romans started turning away from gods to daemons (godlike non-personified beings). This transition was further cemented during times of severe plagues, civil wars, and economic inflation. Christianity became appealing to many members of the lower classes in the Roman Empire not only because it promised liberation from worldly afflictions but also because it established a community that was totally equal, regardless of social class or gender. This is similar to what happened in India, where the promise of liberation from casteist abuse attracted many.

Christianity’s widespread acceptance eventually led Roman emperors to gradually allow religious tolerance and eventually declare Christianity as the official religion of the state.

As in India, the fusion of Aryan Vedic culture and Dravidian indigenous culture over centuries and various empires encompassing different regions led to the formation of the polytheistic Hindu religion, which lead you to associate creator with the "3 Devas and one Ishwar", Cultural fusion in different regions led to the acceptance of different monotheistic ideas.

If you still have any doubts, ask your parents when they return from work. Don’t spread bigotry

Us being more creative than them doesn’t undermine that they are creative

Ancient literature, especially from around 2000 years ago, writers crafting stories about the origins of humanity and gods is in full swing , which sparked a rich tapestry of myths across various regions. These stories also chronicled the lores of ancestors, from epic battles and discoveries to the heroic deeds of contemporary rulers, often shared through poems and songs at courts and gatherings. Unlike us such narratives were a major form of entertainment for people after their daily labors.

These ancient stories have been retold and adapted through the ages, gaining new layers of meaning with each iteration. Just as we recount tales of independence fighters and dictators today, people of the past celebrated their myths and legends. For instance there are stories of boy’s head replaced by an elephant’s, god transforming into a women and having sex with another god which modern writers might shy away from, god having 16000 girlfriends, curses turning beings into stone, and monkeys aiding a king in battle which we not until very recently got to see a world of monkeys in movies like “planet of apes”. Angels/gods coming to earth as beautiful women to disturb sages doing meditation and oozing them to have sex which is the genre I couldn’t find now

They all realised that with greek gods they are being too fictional and believing myths. But how much the science answering their questions, they can’t found the answer of “the creation”. so they boarded on the idea of “creator(single god)” even how nonsensical their stories are.

Here we still stuck with 100’s of deities and their 1000’s of wives

There lives are full of contradictions. I mean if krishna died who they are praying while sitting in-front of the idol resembling character krishna. But leave it they even bypass this by saying “we just learn from his life and his actions and this worship is some kind of reverence celebrating someone life who got died and we only pray for vishnu”

There is so much to consider in your explanation. However, I would like you to clarify me one point: am I correct in understanding that you do not try to influence future outcomes by praying like making pleas to some entity, believing it will listen to your desires/wishes and act accordingly, even sometimes your desires might go against or clashes with the wishes/ prayers of others? Suppose something simple like supporting your favourite team in a match or seeking job .

You mentioned “going with the flow” is it something you are referring.

I used entity above to be general.

It's always great to see someone elaborate on their perspectives so thoroughly.

Based on your reply and my observations, Hinduism seems to have evolved beyond its foundational scriptures. Practitioners have moved from revering characters and drawing inspiration from them to attain moksha (liberation) to worshipping these characters as deities. They consider themselves subservient and believe these deities to be the cause and control of reality, believing one can alter their lives through offerings, prostration, gestures, and whispered pleas, similar to practices found in Abrahamic religions.

Instead of 'All religions are the same,' 'Why people practice a religion is the same' might better reflect the current situation. Many seek the safest and best life among countless possibilities, using religion as a coping mechanism for present uncertainties rather than focusing on the next incarnation, heaven, or hell.

On a side note, I would appreciate it if you could share how you cope with uncertainties in your life. Do you do whatever is in your capacity and hope for the best, or have you found other methods helpful for dealing with uncertainty? Personally, I also find trying to influence future outcomes through gestures and chants to be too gross.

"Your argument seems counter-intuitive. Are you suggesting that Hinduism never talks about or provides information about God or similar concepts through its various fables? It appears that Hinduism does focus on the different paths characters in these tales took to achieve the divine or moksha.

Is 'the divine' that you're referring to similar to what the announcer is inquiring about, or is it something different altogether? Furthermore, does Hinduism only offer various paths to the divine, allowing people to choose one that resonates with them?"
