Some GC Swayamsevaks deeply engrossed in Sangh activities are made to work in slums. Over a period of time, these GC Swayamsevaks get emotionally attached and involved. Some of these guys even go to the extent of saying that reservation should be increased for this section. Some brief transcripts of my conversation with one such person ( SS, swayam sevak )
SS : Have you seen the pathetic condition of people in the slums.
Me: i know
SS : Who is responsible for their condition? and you oppose reservation ? These people need to be uplifted.
Me : Every year GOI alone is spending over Rs 1.5 lakh crore for their welfare / upliftment, if you add the states share it's more; these figures are exclusive allocation for their caste, they get their share from the general pool too. Humongous amount of money in GDP terms is being spent on the upliftment of Dalits. Their budgetary allocation is more than double the agricultural budget of India. In the last 12 years GOI alone has spent over Rs 15 lakh crores for their upliftment
SS : I don't see it on the ground, it's not enough. They are being exploited
Me : Exploited by whom? It's not a question of exploitation , it's a question of mis management of funds, resources and schemes.
SS : what do you mean
Me : In the same slum you will see some Govt employees living amongst their kith and kin, they receive over Rs 1 lakh + salary each month, two or three members from one family work in Govt departments, combined income of such families exceeds Rs 2 lakhs + per month. Iam talking about pensionable income. Do you call these families as poor ? I know a family, father works in Telecom dept, mother staff nurse, son Govt hospital, daughter in law in another Govt department. Govt instead of giving 4 jobs to one family, could have given one job to 4 families. This way 4 families could have been uplifted instead of one.
SS : you have a point
Me : The wealthy ones amongst Dalits have connections, access and corner most of the benefits meant for the poor amongst their community. This creamy layer amongst Dalits is one of the reasons for the condition of poor Dalits. As a farmer ( Govt) it's not enough to flood one part of the field and leave the rest dry, with the available water resources, the farmer should ensure that every plant gets the required water. Feeding the fed is not going to solve the problem dear.
SS : interesting
Me : Do you know the plight of a Brahmin priest who survives with a monthly salary of Rs 1200 ? Your own kind, Will anyone shed tears for that poor soul ?

Most authentic explanation of Fraud done in #RamayanaMovie
Ravan projected as Oppressed by Gods. In reality Ravan was Brutal, Arrogant & Destructive. This is pure OPPRESSOR-OPPRESSED Critical Race Theory of Harvard in action.
Don't get fooled by VFX

The movie Ramayana tells us more about Indian politics than the story of Lord Rama.
Trace the intellectual trail.
Who advised the film?
Meet Dr. Akhilesh Kumar Mishra.
PhD in Hindi literature.
Pen name: Bodhisattva.
A Buddhist Name.
In Buddhism, ‘Bodhisattva’ means one seeks awakening for others.
Interesting name.
His writings:
2007.
He accused Ayodhya's Ikshvakus of injustice to women.
2008.
A controversial article on Rama and Sita.
Questioning Rama.
Highlighting Sita's suffering.
He claimed Rama ate meat.
And drank alcohol.
He even claimed Rama offered alcohol to Pregnant Sita.
2024.
He Wrote “Ayodhya Mein Kaalpurush.”
He potrayed Epics through power, suffering and injustice.
2026.
Credited as research consultant on this ₹4,000 crore Ramayana.
Now let's trace the ideas.
Ancient Jain literature.
Paumacariya reimagines Ravana from a moral lens.
A mere whitewash of Ravana.
Ancient Buddhist literature.
Lankavatara Sutra depicts Ravana seeking Buddha's teachings.
Again whitewash Ravana.
1873.
Jyotirao Phule.
Aryan conquest.
Indigenous resistance.
Caste oppression.
1900s.
Babasaheb Ambedkar.
Questioned Rama through caste, gender and justice.
1956.
Periyar.
Ravana as Dravidian hero.
Rama as northern domination.
Modern Bahujan interpretations.
Some portray Ravana as indigenous.
Oppressed.
A symbol of resistance.
Now go back further.
Ancient Zoroastrianism.
Asuras are revered.
Devas are rejected.
Later, from the same source came Indo-European theories.
The Aryan invasion narrative.
Different traditions.
Different centuries.
Different politics.
One recurring theme.
Oppressor versus oppressed.
Return to the movie.
An oppressed Ravana.
Devas as oppressors.
A subdued Rama.
Not merely cinematic creativity.
An interpretation millions absorb.
In India, oppression narratives fuel identity politics.
Identity politics becomes vote-bank politics.
This framing recalls modern politics, not Valmiki's Ramayana.
Don't make this film children's primary source for Valmiki's Ramayana.
The danger isn't just on screen.
It's what millions may believe was written in the original.

Ranbir Kapoor's Diwali film will loose 4000 crore.
4000 crore was mentioned by the producer Namit Malhotra in an interview. Not from any production bill.
Reporters who track money say Part 1 cost 700 to 1000 crore. Four times less.
The producer is not a man. It is a company. A company listed on the stock market. Prime Focus.
This is not a scam. It is smarter than a scam.
The company doing the VFX is owned by the same company making the film Ramayana. Same parent co. The studio is theirs too.
So Prime Focus is paying Prime Focus. The money stays in the family. That means the cost can be any number. No outsider can prove it. There is no outsider.
Now look at the shares. Not the screen.
Ranbir Kapoor acquired about 12.5 lakh shares of Prime Focus at ₹120 per share, investing roughly ₹15 crore.
Since then, Prime Focus shares have traded above ₹300, significantly increasing the value of that stake.
Reports indicate Prime Focus' market capitalization rose from roughly ₹4,000 crore at the end of 2024 to about ₹19,000 crore by the end of 2025, and later crossed ₹22,000 crore in 2026.
Novator (Major strategic investor linking Prime Focus Limited and its visual effects and animation subsidiary, DNEG) got 14.4 percent and a seat on the board.
The film must earn 3000 to 4000 crore to cover its cost. No Indian film has ever earned 2000.
So it will fail. The investors have already made money.
That is not how a film works. That is how a share works.
And the risk was sold before one ticket was printed. 450 crore from JioStar. 75 from T-Series. Sony is taking 50000 screens abroad.
Four weeks before release, Income Tax raided the offices about money sent abroad. Day one was 26 crore. People expected 75 to 100. The stock fell 7 percent.
So my question.
If the film can fail and everyone still gets rich, who is a 4000 crore Diwali film really made for?
The people in the hall, or the people in the market?

Whenever Diwali comes, self-proclaimed historians show up claiming "fireworks aren't in our scriptures."
Skanda Purana wrote about Ulka Daan and Chanakya documented Agni Churna centuries before invaders arrived in this country.
Next time someone tries to teach you your own culture, hand them our shastras. Celebrate freely, no apologies needed!

I had a tiff with a woke environmentalist just before returning home after literally having a blast. Asked him to try to stop goat sacrifices during Eid and deforestation during Christmas. Couldn’t catch his expression fully, as he was wearing a mask, but his eyes gave away the shock he felt upon hearing my response to his plea.
About 5 seconds later, he tried to retort, “What did you say?” I said, “You’re morbidly scared of Muslims. You vent your frustration on Hindus.”
He had come accompanied by three security guards, asking all residents of the housing society to stop bursting firecrackers. After my second reply, he quickly retreated, and the guards dispersed.

We saw a Hindu Instamart delivery boy carefully navigating around a rangoli so as not to ruin it.
And here we see a Muslim waiter deliberately destroying a rangoli made by a Hindu group celebrating Deepavali at a hotel in Malaysia they had booked.
Two acts. Two attitudes. We are not the same
Difference between father-wale & chadar-wale.
This Hindu @instamart_it delivery boy is winning hearts 💕

Why did Sai Pallavi as Sita not cry or fight when Jatayu ji was killed? She was giving a shocked expression instead of grief and crying. If she would have cried in #Ramayana , the audience would have related, but she did not have a single expression of sadness.
On top of it, she doesn’t even cry for help, yell, or even shout the expected “RAM! LAKSHMAN!”
Let’s look at what is actually recorded according to the Valmiki Ramayana:
In the name of creative liberty, the makers completely forgot what a simple expression of fear or grief looks like. Valmiki’s Sita was never emotionless during her abduction , her grief was raw, vocal, and devastating:
> She Wept Bitterly for Jatayu (Book 3, Sarga 51, V46): When the heroic bird fell mortally wounded, Valmiki explicitly writes 'ruroda sītā janakātmajā tadā' (रुरोद सीता जनकात्मजा तदा). The text specifically uses the word ruroda ("she wept bitterly"). She ran to Jatayu, embraced his blood-soaked body, and wept as if for her own family.
> Piercing Screams in Agony (Sarga 52, V2): As Ravana dragged her away, she wasn't silently numb. Valmiki records her desperate, vocal cries: 'hā rāma hā lakṣmaṇa iti krośantī bhṛśaduḥkhitā'—screaming "O Rama! O Lakshmana!" in unbearable heartbreak, hoping her voice would reach them through the forest.
> Brutal Violence & Fear: Ravana violently seized her by her hair and limbs while roaring in fury at her tears, throwing her onto his chariot as she actively wept and fought.

A rudraksha bead went into a physics lab in Punjab. 2 silver electrodes clamped it. Out came a number: an energy barrier of 0.91 electron volts.
The researchers' verdict: the bead is a dielectric, the same class of material that holds charge inside a capacitor.
But but but...that is not the strange part....
In Tamil Nadu, another team took shells of Elaeocarpus tectorius, a close cousin of the rudraksha tree, and carbonized them into a supercapacitor.
- 385 farads per gram.
- 96% of capacity still there after 1,000 cycles.
The paper's stated target: wearable electronics....
Now read what the Rudraksha Jabala Upanishad asks of the bead. Choose the one with a natural hole, not a drilled one.
Reject 6 kinds of defects. Test it on a touchstone.
Then: wear it always, even in sleep.
A natural hole. A seed made to be strung. An instruction to keep it on the body at all times.
And 2 labs now measuring it as an electronic material.

This may help to explain the apprehensions, you can help us to get a better understanding of the core narrative of the movie
Neil Postman and Jacques Ellul are two of the most important thinkers for understanding how technology, mass media, entertainment and propaganda shape human consciousness, public opinion and civilisation.
Both argued that media and technology are not neutral instruments. They fundamentally influence how people think, what they believe, what they consider important, and how societies organise themselves.
Their ideas are particularly relevant to understanding Hollywood as a narrative-building institution, political communication, cultural influence and ideological conditioning.

DIWALI CRACKERS, DELHI POLLUTION & HINDU SELF-DENIAL. Every year, we hear the same attacks against Hindus and their Diwali crackers, which make the air in Delhi and other cities unbreathable... Every year also, winter coming, we are told by newspapers, and the Indian intelligentsia, that the quality of air in Delhi has become ‘toxic’. I have lived in Delhi through at least 30 Diwalis, and nearly as many winters, and I have jogged in Lodhi Garden, without ever feeling discomfort or even breathlessness. The question that needs to be asked then is this: why are Hindus, their festivals and their spirituality, always attacked, when the media, the intelligentsia and Western correspondents never question Christian’s Christmas and New Years, where people drink much more than they should; or our Human Rights agencies and ecologists, never say anything about the millions of goats and cows which are slowly bled to death on Eid, making sometimes the streets run with blood?...
