We will convert u, ask u to eat beef, remove bindi, throw away mangalsutra, ur "pagan" Gods, give u cheap dip in nearest tank& claim u r re-born to new religion. After we throw away ur gods & ur tradition, we repackage ur earlier culture, tradition, music, ragas and gve it to 🙏
Oh & then ur own secular bretheren who claim they r "spiritual but nt religious" , "all religions are equal" will start hashtag campaign #carnaticmusicbelongstoall
And if U, the "bully, militant, communal, bigoted" Hindu try to save Carnatic music frm digestion, u knw the drill!
Wait some examples are in order

When i learnt my first Geetam, we started with a namaskaram to Ganesha via Sri Gananatha geetam.... but hey you can now get Yesugeetam, very easy just replace Ganesha with yesu
Amazingly easy!

Learning south Indian carnatic music so easy man! We just rewrite the lyrics in Christian way ....🙏
Want some Christian veenai ? Yeh lo
Want to feel more devotional? Need more bhakti? Sure, let's copy paste and voila we have Christu bhagawatam, yeshu sahasranamam, Yishu bhagawad gita ...no sweat!
Don't worry pa, we also have some yesu bharatanatyam for you
Some ppl whattabouterising: "how fragile is ur faith?
So let me counter whattabouterise:our faith, our carnatic tradition fears none.Its a labour of love& devotion towards devtas replete with shrungar,rasa,maths. U dont get to insult our gods and use the talas, ragas fr ur gods
You converted out of hinduism for whatever compulsion you had and by doing so you rejected the holistic hindu way of life, music, prayer, rituals. If you want to sing praises of your god,invent ur own kind of musical system, your own ragas, own keertanais.u dont get to copy ours
Just to get a perspective : how many people attend TM Krishna's concerts? Are core rasikas also part of the audience? How does he manage to grt his accompanying artists after the whole carnatic music community being aware of his antics ? Any idea on these Qs?
Another digestion, zero originality
Nandri @Rnb129 for the translation

Shri Dushyant Sridhar, a young scholar of our sanatana traditions and puranas and kathas weighs in on the topic of carnatic music and the controversy surrounding it.... do read it !

Mahesh Raut was a classmate in our Community Org&Development Practice(CODP) specialisation &we did fieldwork in Bikaner. Mahesh hd multiple personalities; a friendly chap in classroom, a jhola and naarebaazi activist on the street and what I came to know later-a naxal sympathiser
Mahesh had a politician's aura about him. He could just stand and deliver a speech anywhere. I thought he would become a yuva neta someday and uplift the naxal hit Gadchiroli district out of poverty and violence.
Instead in 2014 when he was a Prime Minister's Rural Dev Fellow(PMRDF) he was in news along with a junior from tiss, Harshali Potdar, who were both questioned when two arrested Naxals revealed that Raut and Potdar were to go and meet senior naxal leaders.

So you think only the so called religious minorities are against hindus? In the following tweets I give you some pointers that indicate that there is a well established covert cabal,a nexus if u will, that is actively seeking to undermine and subvert Hindu identity
When I was in Tiss, during conferences Church authorities from jharkhand and other tribal regions were invited to chair panel discussions and present papers during seminars. Have seen many nuns pursuing social work masters and even mphil here.
No one ever questioned motives of these people in a so called secular campus, no one questioned wht their org were doing in far going tribal regions. Instead they were called to peddle the same bonded me taught to us about how it was frm Christianity tht social wrk emerged

#gennext & #bharatiyavalues and a misfit!

So,was invited for "brunch" by a newly married couple. Girl is a PhD student in engg dept and guy works in a startup. Girl comes to receive us in shorts and tank top, no bindi,bangles,mangalsutra or indication of being newly married.
As we were about to step foot inside the house, she said we cud walk in with our slippers. We insisted tht we remove them & entered. She seemed bit surprised to rec fruits&bisc we gt them. Gt served lemony soda drink & conversations started off in Eng, I tried to bring in hindi
Home was as typical #gennext type. Flat screen tv, 4-5 Apple laptops, iPhones & ipads, stereo playing rock music, photo collage of parties, honeymoon etc.just as I ws going to giv up whn tucked in the corner, almost as though they dint want it to be seen, was lakshmi devi murti

1)A good friend, fellow dharmic hs shed some light on the sham that is @MurtyLibrary Murthy Classical library& how it's guilty of perpetuating distortions of Indian phil &culture, thus propagating the Pollockian and Wendy Doniger classical school of distortion &psychoanalysis
2) the book in question this time is "The life of Harishchandra" by Raghavanka translated by Vanamala Viswanatha.

This book is a translation work of a classical work by Raghavanka. Now,given the halo and brand name of THE Murthy Classical lib, any unsuspecting person will buy it
3) So basically the book is a post modernist retelling using the lens of caste,gender but deliberately given misledaing title life of harishchandra, so tht ppl will get interested into reading the book& slowly the author will bring in the deconstruction theory and psychoanalysis

#PowerfulIndia : "The last village to be brought on the national power grid was Leisang village in the Senapati district of Manipur ". Sharing my experience of living fr a month in Senapati dist
Yr was 2007. I was selected for national internship with 22Assam Rifles , Manipur
After a back-breaking train journey that started from Pune-Mumbai-Kolkata-Assam and the 4 hour bumpy ride on NH-2 Imphal- Dimapur highway , we finally reached the 22Assam Rifles HQ at Maram, Senapati district. At that time electricity was a luxury, hot water for bath using wood
During our fieldwork, we got to travel across the various small villages hidden in mountain tops in Senapati dist and nearby districts. The areas were devoid of any development, factories. One village ransacked other. People charged their mobile phones paying 5rs at nearby shops

#ModiXisummit
Folks, I don’t have time to write an article, so here’s my two-cents on the upcoming #ModiXisummit (informal) in Wuhan. I’m seeing a lot of brouhaha being played by the Indian media, think-tankies regarding the “reset”, “thaw” in relations.
1)The meeting draws on the similar format of reset and informal meets organised by Xi for Obama in 2013 and the Mar-a-lago summit hosted for Xi by Trump last year. Both have failed to bring any kind of reset. Instead there is a trade war looming between China and USA now
2)no formal/informal talks can belie the deep distrust both India and China have for each other, deeply drilled through history and contemporary strategic realities. The summit, while attempting “reset” after Doklam might at best be talking shop, garden walks and photo-ops
