“Civilizations Do Not Fall By Swords”: Gautam Adani Warns Against Attacks On India’s Cultural Memory
At the Adani Global Indology Conclave 2025, Gautam Adani warned that civilizations “do not fall by swords alone” but collapse when cultural memory is attacked. Citing the destruction of Nalanda and other ancient universities, and Macaulay’s colonial overhaul of India’s knowledge systems, Adani said the real damage came from erasing confidence and stealing intellectual heritage. He stressed that safeguarding cultural memory is essential to protecting a civilization’s future.

Oh CANADA! – Misrepresenting Hindu Art at Glenbow Museum, Calgary
Some western museums and art dealers grossly misrepresent Hindu art. Example: Below is a photo of original c. 5th/6th-century Ramayana art. Glenbow museum labeled the scene below as "Sita" with Hanuman.
Shocking. Wrong. Gross negligence too, because it has two inscriptions. Left says: "Simhika", Right: Hanu/Ma. Simhika is the demoness who tries to stop Hanuman from crossing over to Lanka. When questioned about this nonsense, Glenbow curators blamed the Art Dealer's info.

It’s a documented fact that the Caste system itself was invented outside India - a purely European invention called “Sistema de Casta“ practiced by them for centuries.
"Casta" is a Spanish word meaning lineage documented since 1417. It is the root of the English word caste. Spanish & Portuguese invented this hierarchical race-based "caste system" rooted in concept of purity of blood called "Limpieza de sangre", to identify anyone with Jewish or Muslim heritage to persecute them during the Christian Inquisition. The OG caste system invented by them was called “Sistema de Casta”.
They created an entire genre of disgusting racist Casta paintings to show their racist caste system where they believed the darker your skin, the stupider and more savage you were. Anyone with blood linked to dark skin was classified as a ”stain" by them. Most Indians would be called a “stain” by them because we have the genetic heritage of darker skin than them.
Casta paintings depicted the supposed "innate" character & quality of people connected to their birth and skin color. In a painting by José Joaquín Magón, a mestizo (mixed Indian + Spanish) was labelled “humble, meek, and docile” because of darker skin than Whites. Casta paintings such as this by Ignacio Barreda (1777) showed white Spainards at highest social status & dark skinned as more “uncivilized at a lower status.” Entire categories of vile racist discrimination based on skin color were institutionalized by bigoted Europeans in their Casta system.
When Portuguese came to India they simply transposed their word “Casta” from Sistema De Casta (caste system) to classify Indian endogamous groups with hereditary occupations.
I challenge anyone to find a single Indian text with the word “caste” in it before Portuguese came to India.
Moronic Indians who hate their own civilization perpetuated their utterly stupid lies - & the rest is history.

India Pushes Gita Diplomacy Worldwide As Jaishankar Highlights Kurukshetra Mahotsav’s Growing Reach
India has launched one of its biggest cultural diplomacy missions yet, and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is leading it from the front. Speaking at the International Gita Mahotsav in Kurukshetra, he announced that more than 50 Indian missions across the world are hosting parallel celebrations to take the message of the Bhagavad Gita global. The festival, now a growing international movement, showcases India’s civilizational depth and the modern relevance of Lord Krishna’s teachings. With exhibitions, translated editions, cultural programs, and foreign scholars joining worldwide, the Gita Mahotsav is becoming a platform for unity, harmony, and shared values. As Kurukshetra prepares for massive participation and PM Modi’s visit, India is sending a clear message: the world’s oldest philosophies still shape the world’s newest power.
