My family told me that Diwali comes only once a year and that animals get scared of loud noises. Some relatives even suggested that I was making too much of a fuss over a dog.
But this was the same family that had taught me about compassion, kindness and respecting every living being.
I couldn't understand how people who regularly spoke about the sanctity of life could dismiss the suffering of an innocent creature so casually.
I started questioning our traditions. I asked why protecting animals was considered important in religious teachings but their suffering during celebrations was so easily ignored.
Instead of acknowledging my concerns, I was told not to question our customs.
That was the beginning of my disillusionment.
I gradually stopped participating in religious rituals and eventually lost my faith in Hinduism.
I don't expect everyone to abandon their traditions, nor do I hate anyone for celebrating Diwali.
But I refuse to believe that an innocent animal's suffering should be dismissed in the name of religion or celebration.
My dog couldn't speak for himself. But his suffering mattered.
And I will never forget that💔.

Unemployment is high in India so that pakistani spies can't get jobs if they run out of money
This argument has so many holes that I just strained my morning tea through this.
Firecrackers are such a strange thing, when they are burst on New Year in almost 200 countries, they bring happiness but when they are burst in India on Diwali, it causes breathing problems to everyone and harms the environment.

Every fascist regime tries to conjure an imaginary enemy to fight and controls the information. Then the fight would go on, the sense of insecurity and fear will remain for perpetuity to encash, and it would be easier to control and dominate an anxious, uninformed crowd.

Trevor Noah argues the Avengers are actually the bad guys
“The Avengers is the perfect allegory for the Democrats in America.”
“They like to fight against the bad guy, but they do not like to do anything to prevent bad guyness from happening again.”
“They’re not willing to sacrifice anything to prevent it from happening.”
“At least Thanos had a vision… He was willing to sacrifice something.”
When I was a kid we used to have eggs on Sunday, today I can afford eggs everyday and Biriyani on Sunday. For some strange reason the slums next to my house are still there. Lazy fucks.
I went to Hindi medium govt school, wore used shirts and my college was funded by my relatives pooled money
life wasn’t easy
10 years after my graduation in 2014
my bloodline will never face
the horrors that I faced.
we as a family are now confused
on where to spend the year end
hope this helps put this in perspective of what this means.

Every single one of you, who watched movies that glorified violence in men, every single one of you who said "entertainment is entertainment", ever single one of you that excuses violent speeches, actions, HATE-POP songs in politics because "politics me to ye sab hoga hi", every single one of you that has dismissed domestic violence cases, eve teasing cases, rapes, every single one of you that normalises violence in relationships, every single one of you that puts the burden of safety on girls, on women, EACH ONE OF YOU IS RESPONSIBLE.

Two horrific cases of macabre violence today in the news both involving school girls. We can't even protect our little children in schools anymore in this godforsaken place.
