17: Ramayana

Adipurush Reception

Adipurush: All the box office records broken by Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan's film Adipurush minted ₹140 crore worldwide on its opening day. It made another ₹100 crore globally the next day, making its two-day collection equal to ₹240 crore. In the process, it beat the highest global opener for a pan-India film, Pathaan, which made ₹219 crore over the first two days of its release in January. ........ Now that the initial momentum and advance booking rush have faded for Adipurush, and the largely negative word-of-mouth has kicked in, the film has witnessed possibly the biggest downfall from the opening weekend to Monday, especially in the post-pandemic phase of moviegoing. It has managed to earn only ₹20 crore in all languages domestically, after making ₹86 crore, ₹65 crore and ₹69 crore on the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively........ As per Bollywood Hungama, Adipurush is Prabhas' fourth film to cross the ₹100 crore mark, after Baahubali: The Beginning ( ₹118.7 crore), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion ( ₹510.99 crore) and Saaho ( ₹142.95 crore). ......... Adipurush is Kriti's third film to cross ₹100 crore, following Dilwale ( ₹148.72 crore) and Housefull 4 ( ₹194.60 crore)....... Adipurush is also Saif's third film to cross ₹100 crore, after Race 2 ( ₹100.45 crore) and his last collaboration with Adipurush director Om Raut, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior ( ₹279.55 crore).

#Adipurush continues its roaring success at the box office! With a mind-blowing collection of 375 CR* and counting. Kudos to the entire team for this epic achievement! 🎉🔥 #AdipurushMania #BlockbusterAdipurush #Prabhas pic.twitter.com/4iQ9OqkLyC

Adipurush row: From negative reviews and declining box office to Saif Ali Khan and Manoj Muntashir’s controversial statements, a rundown of major events Adipurush has been attracting controversy for over a year now, and amid a new wave of backlash against the Prabhas-starrer, here's a rundown of every major event that has transpired in the months leading up to and in the days following its release. .

History Of The Caste System

Googling up "history of the caste system" is one phrase that is a hopeless flop. It does not work. There is an inhrent bias of the Internet. The SEO clever articles are going to show up on the first page of results. That firt page might be an echo chamber of articles that are all subservient to the western bias that tries to prove that what we know as Hinduism today is at most 2500 years old, and even so was imported from somewhere in the Caucasian mountains. That "theory" is in complete contravention to the two most famous Hindu scriptures, namely the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

This is like, if you do not think of Christ's resurrection as an actual event, not only are you not a Christian, you are in no position to hold a respectful dialogue with those who are.

There are Chinese who like to claim, yes, the Mahabharata war happened, but it happened maybe 1400 years ago, because a Chinese traveler who was passing through at the time saw bones, leftovers from the war. That thinking is designed to suggest the Chinese as a people are 5,000 years old, but the Indians are much younger.

But nobody beats the Caucasians and the Hindus quite like the Hindus themselves who say the war described in the Ramayana happened a few hundred thousand years ago. One Hindu scholar, well respected in Kathmandu, even told me on the phone only a few weeks ago that that war did not even take place on earth, but in another world! I was left scratching my head. My hometown is Janakpurdham, which is an actual town on earth in the southeast of Nepal. That town plays a large role in the Ramayana story. It is not in another world.

The Bible is not scripture because it is a long book. War And Peace by Leo Tolstoy is equally long. But neither Tolstoy nor anybody else has ever suggested that novel is scripture. A scripture has qualities. The Bible has them. The Ramayana and the Mahabharata also have them. One quality is statements of prophecy. God, in whom all time past, present and future is contained, of course sees every future event already, and passes some of that information through the scriptures. We call them prophecies. God in every scripture is described as someone who is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, the True God is.

Columbus did not discover America. There were human beings living on the continent for thousands of years before Columbus ever showed up. But if you think Columbus discovered America, that is a very peculiar Eurocentric view going back less than 600 years. Columbus did discover America, if you are European, he sure did, for Europeans of his time he did. But that was not like Neil Armstrong landing on the moon. So far there is no evidence there were people on the moon before that.

You could observe the caste system as it exists today, and it is inescapable. The caste system is like the social operating system on the Indian subcontinent. It is in a degenerate form and ties up any possibility of progress. In its current form it is only a few thousand years old.

First you have to get the dates right. There are precise astronomical observations in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, so precise they can be of use to modern astronomers. You can decipher the dates in the two scriptures (the Ramayana and the Mahabharata) from those observations. The Ramayana talks about events from about 7,000 years ago. The Mahabharata talks about events from about 5,000 years ago. That is modern astronomy, and completely discredits the Caucasian theory and the Chinese theory too.

You have to get the dates right. And you have to get the concept of the four yugas, or the ages. The ages, by the way, are also mentioned in the Bible. There is talk of "this age" many places in the Bible. As in, this among several ages. There is talk of "the end of this age." As in, the end of this age, and the beginning of a new one.

I am least interested in the history of the caste system. I am completely interested in the idea of reorganizing it. I would like to see two billion Brahmins on earth all over the world.

Not one character in either the Ramayana or the Mahabharata has been called a Hindu. There is only talk of dharma, which is not religion. Dharma means right conduct. It is about right and wrong. There is talk of eternal religion, or Sanatana Dharma. If God has no beginning and no end, how can humanity's relationship with that God be tied to this or that geography, or this or that span of time? The God of many universes surely is not the God of this or that country on earth.

The current age, or the Kali Yuga, the age when much sin happens, the worst of the four ages, has gone on for more than 5,000 years now. When the events of the current age were described to some of the leading characters in the previous age, they were in disbelief. Is that even possible? Could people treat each other so badly?

It is like there is a creature that is alive for just 10 days in summer. Try describing winter to that creature. It might not understand the concept of snow. Events in the Mahabharata are from the previous age, events in the Ramayana are from the age before that. It is hard for people alive today to wrap their heads around those events.

Mughal Ne Ram Mandir Kyun Toda?

Mughal Ne Ram Mandir Kyun Toda?

British chin mein jane se pahle sab study kar ke tab gaye the. Is desh ko pahle bhitar se nasht karo, kamjor banao, tab hi kabja hoga, aise nahin. Bharat bhi study kiye huwe the. Sone ki chidiya ko lutne aa gaye. Inke pas apna kuchh tha nahin. Lootera the ye log. Queen Victoria: Bandit Queen.

To Mughal bagair study kiye aa gaye, ye aap ko kaise laga? Ram Mandir toda kyon ki unhe apne samrajya ko dur purab tak le jana tha. Sita ke sath anyay huwa tha. Aaj tak Mithila mein kaha jata hai. Ki Sita ke sath anyay huwa. To Ram Mandir walon, Ram Mandir banao, lekin thoda ground situation badlo. Modern day Sita, Bharat ki Naari, ko barabari do. Aisa kanoon banao, samaj banao, arthatantr banao, ki Bharat ki Naari ko barabari mile. Uske baad Ram Mandir aap se aap ban jayega. Hum Mithilawasi Asteroid Belt jaa kar ke, sona la ke, sone ka mandir bana denge. Lekin pahle Sita ke sath huwe anyay ka kshatipurti karo. Bharat ki nari ko barabari do.

Mughal ko koi dikkat nahin huwi, Bihar mein, Mithila mein. Kisi na kisi samrat ko tax dena hi hai, to le lo Mughal bhi. Kya fark padta hai? Aaj bhi Janaki Mandir ke thik pichhwade mein bahut bada Musalman basti hai. Bahut prayas kiya Kathmandu ke shasako ne, Panchayat se le ke abhi tak, ki Hindu-Muslim danga karva dete hain. Divide and rule. Is baar bhi try kiya. Hota hi nahin. Pwar bhiga hai. Aag lagta hi nahin.

Angikrit ke masle par galti na karna bahut jaroori hai. Kuchh Madhesi neta sonch rahe hain, ungli khane ko de do, to shayad haath nahin khayenge. Waisa bolte ho, Ram Mandir tuta, aap ka mahal bhi tut gaya to? Bilkul barabari honi chahiye. Bharat se koi shadi kar ke Madhesh aye, to use nahin lagna chahiye bidesh aa gaye. Bidesh hai hi nahin. Kab ho gaya Madhesh bidesh? To angikrit pradhan mantri rashtrapati nahin banega, ye kis bandar ne kaha?

Aur Madhesh ke sansad ko mahila ko barabari dene ke liye kaam karna hoga. Government mein barabari, education mein barabari, business loan, employment sab jagah barabari. Nahin to mandir par mandir tutega fir. Mahalein girenge. Janakpur ko Sita nagari waise nahin kahte hain. Jis dhanush ko Ram ne uthaya, usko usse pahle Sita ne uthaya. To barabari to wahin se shuru ho gayi. Aap kaun hote ho chhinne wale?

Lekin ye Bidya ka agenda nahin hai. Uska agenda hai ki Ram Sita bhagwan to inke haath pair kyon hain? Kato inke haath pair. Ye Hindu nahin hain, ye Sanatani hain. Ye Hindu hain to Yahudi bhi Christian hain.

Bharat ko samrridh banaya Hindu ne, Mughal ne. Sanatani to samridhi mein vishwas hi nahin karte. Garibi ko we log samasya mante hi nahin. Kahne wale kahte hain, nakabandi se 10 billion ka loss, to ye, to wo. Lekin Sanatani ko uska bilkul matlab nahin hai. Banar kya jane aadi ka sawad bali baat hai.

The Monkey Power Brokers Of Kathmandu

The Monkey Power Brokers Of Kathmandu

Four Billion Dollars, Earthquake Victims, And The Monkey Power Brokers Of Kathmandu

Four billion dollars is a lot of money. Fuck, it is a lot of money for fucking Bill Gates. It simply is a lot of money, no matter how you see it. A billion is a lot of money for India to give. Modi lost Bihar because he gave a billion dollars to Nepal and the Biharis found out. All those school buildings they so desperately need. That is a world class school for every district in Bihar, gone down the Ganges. Four billion is a lot of fucking money.

And the donors are the sharpest minds in Delhi, in Brussels, in DC. They are scratching their heads. To them it is simple. A line is the shortest distance from point A to point B. There’s the earthquake, there are the earthquake victims, and here is the help they desperately need. This money will not make the earthquake victims rich, but it will tide them over. Maybe they will not die in the cold. So let’s move.

These monkey power brokers in Kathmandu are not dumb. If they are dumb, how are they managing to outsmart the smartest people in Delhi, in Beijing, in Brussels, in DC? They know exactly what they are doing. It is the donors that are confused. It is the donors that are in denial. The game these monkey power brokers in Kathmandu are playing is the exact same game they are playing with the Madhesh movement.

This is how the game gets played. If the donors were to make peace with the fact that half the money, or maybe two thirds of the money, will go to these monkeys instead of those hapless earthquake victims, then there would be no starvation and pneumonia in the Himalayas right now. So, now, you tell me, who is starving the earthquake victims? The donors? Or the monkeys?

Why do you need a new, separate government mechanism to funnel the aid? We already have a government in place. That is what the monkeys are saying. But the donors are not listening. It is the donors’ fault that they are not listening. The donors are responsible for the fact these people are dying up there in the Himalayas. Let me explain, they say. Or maybe I have already explained. You think we can’t get our act together and pass a simple bill? We passed an entire constitution in record time, and you think we can’t pass a bill? A simple, fucking bill?

You have to give it to them. Fidel Castro stood up only to America. But these monkeys are standing up to the entire fucking world. Fuck China, fuck India, fuck Europe, the fuck with America.

Now you get to appreciate what the Madhesis are up against. Now tell me why the Sherpas and the Tamangs and the Magars and the Dalits - the earthquake victims - should not get their own country like right about fucking NOW! Not federal state, but an entire fucking country. Because that country would go for the point A to point B thing in no time. Here are the earthquake victims, and here’s help, and let’s connect the two dots as fast, as best we can. Let's move four months ago.

December 31st is going to come and go. These people are not going to blink. Monkeys don’t blink. You blink. Heck, you run away. I mean, it is not like they have not already made themselves ample clear. Who are the donors kidding? Don’t they pay taxes in their own countries? If they want to help these Sherpas, Tamangs, Magars, Dalits, why will the donors not be willing to pay a little bit in transition tax? These monkeys run an entire government. And that government wants its cut. How hard is it for the sharpest minds in the world to understand? It is that or you end up with dead people. Since when did death become a problem? Next year send a few billion for falling leaves.

The recent anti-graft drama has been designed for the viewing pleasure of the donors. Look, we are not the same country no more, we have gone anti-corruption. We are nabbing people.

To the locals it looks otherwise. The Prime Minister is going after only his political opponents. This is no anti graft drive. This is small minded vendetta.

These monkeys are talking the exact same language to the Madhesis. Madhesis are point A to point B people. They understand modern democracy. They birthed it, for crying out loud. If only the Madhesis understood that all they have to do is accept this constitution the monkeys have written, there would be no fuss. No one gets hurt. So if people are getting shot, whose fault is it really? Who is the one not accepting the constitution? That is how their mind circuit works.

If the sharpest minds in Delhi, Beijing, Brussels and DC can’t cut through this mind circuit, they should at least have some empathy for the Madhesis as to what they are up against.

Go read the Ramayana. You will meet plenty of these same monkeys in the Ramayana. Evolution needs time. Give it to them.

The Delhi, Beijing, Brussels, DC people will not dwell upon Nepal for long. They will go back to other business in due course of time. They have plenty to do. But the Madhesis are stuck with these monkeys. They don’t have the luxury to move on. And so the idea now is to shift the national capital to Birgunj and leave the Pashupatinath Temple for exclusive use by these monkeys.

There are monkeys at the Pashupatinath and the Swayambhunath temples, but none at the Janaki Mandir. The monkeys know who their kith and kin are. After all, we are all only a few hundred thousand years removed from our common ancestor. Time, as you know, is relative.

काठमाण्डु मा रावण को शासन छ

मधेस मा राम को शासन स्थापित गर्ने बेला आउन लाग्यो।

मोदीको भ्रमण रद्द गर्नु

विमलेन्द्र निधि को वक्तव्यमा २२ पार्टीको कारणले मोदीको भ्रमण रद्द गर्नु परेको भनिएको छ। त्यस आरोपले के पुष्टि गर्छ भन्दा खेरी -----  यो भ्रमण मोदी अथवा भारत सरकारले रद्द गरेको होइन। कारण जेसुकै भए पनि नेपाल सरकारको अनुरोधमा नै यो भ्रमण रद्द भएको कुरा पुष्टि गर्छ।

यो बामदेव, सुशील, केपीले "देखाई दिएँ" भनेको हो। बारह बिघा मैदानमा आम जनतालाई सम्बोधन गर्न नदिने कुरामा क्रुद्ध जनतालाई भ्रमण नै रद्द गरेर देखाइदियें भन्न खोजे जस्तो प्रतीत हुन्छ।

यो भ्रमण भारत सरकारले रद्द गरेको होइन। र सरकार बाहिरका दलले भ्रमण आयोजन पनि गर्दैन र रद्द गर्ने ताकत पनि हुँदैन।

भने पछि यो वर्तमान नेपाल सरकारले मोदीको जनकपुर भ्रमण रद्द गरेको स्पष्ट भयो। लानत छ यो सरकार। यो भ्रमणले जनकपुर नगरीको कायापलट गर्न लागेको थियो। त्यो स्वर्ण मौका सुशील, वामदेव, केपीले खोसेका छन।
