Just elitist single malt delusions that are infesting these late blooming social bacteria.

On the other side the people and military both are crystal clear , here even top officers are delusional.

These deluded and woke clowns love this bullshit nasha of aman ki asha.

If the pakis had the capability they would destroy us without even blinking.

Shatrubodha is not merely non existent, but these clowns don't even have the faintest suspicion that anything like Shatrubodha exists

VIDEO | Mumbai: On RSS leader Dattatreya Hosabale advocating window of dialogue with Pakistan to be kept open, Former Army chief Gen MM Naravane
(@ManojNaravane) says, “One important point is that people-to-people connections and contacts are extremely important.

Ordinary people live on both sides of the border, and common people everywhere have the same concerns, food, clothing, shelter, and daily life.

Ordinary citizens generally do not have much to do with politics.

When friendship develops between the people of two countries, it naturally helps improve relations between the countries themselves.

That is why I said earlier that people-to-people contact, whether through Track-II diplomacy or through sporting events, is very important…

One thing is very clear, and we have always maintained this: whatever differences exist between two countries should always be resolved through discussion and dialogue.

However, that does not mean we cannot use military force if necessary. India is a country that believes in speaking the language of peace, but if the need arises, we will not hesitate to use our strength and capabilities as well.”

BTW, He is the same general who felt he had been handed a ‘hot potato’ when the GOI gave him full operational freedom to deal with PLA troops in Galwan.

Journalists should ask him why he felt so.

Doesn’t the Indian Army war-game and train for the very exact scenario he was asked to deal with?

just imagine a jernail who was anxiously trying to pass the buck, and that too, at his level of seniority.......


he seems to have had no idea at all as to where the buck stopped, but was happy with just collecting salary and enjoying the perks



If the Hindus had the sense of Shatrubodha that every other cultural ethnicity has, bar none, so many millions of rohinghiya, paki and beedi scum would not have been allowed to illegally enter into India and freeload, demographically change and be allowed to seize political power in so many constituencies across the country while financially draining the sacred land

Manoj Naravane types abound everywhere. Even in MB Arjuna wavered and Krishna admonished him in no uncertain terms. In the US such types abound and every armed forces have bleeding hearts who are not good in geopolitics/diplomacy/real politik other than their chosen field which is to fight a good fight. Manoj Naravane track thoo is none of his expertize and he should not comment upon such topics. What has Manoj done to make India a good fighting machine and where is his leadership that he is supposed to display. The Indian army, if given the right impetus, can easily beat back the armies in the neighborhood - be it China or Pukeland.

Ravana's RED Lingam Found? The "Untouchable" Secret Of Cambodia
May 16, 2026

The silence around this Cambodian temple is unsettling. No crowds. No voices. Just a collapsing stone structure hidden in the jungle… and a gigantic object at its center that locals refuse to touch. They call it the “Untouchable Lingam” of Ravana, a massive monolith stained with a dark red residue that has somehow survived centuries of weather and destruction. Up close, the surface feels wrong — the stone resonates with a strange hollow vibration, the carvings appear impossibly precise, and deep cracks across the structure suggest a violent attempt to destroy it long ago. Yet somehow, it still stands. Tree roots are tearing through the walls as if nature itself is trying to bury this place forever, but secret rituals continue here even today. Some believe Ravana infused this object with his own essence. Others believe the stone is still carrying an ancient energy that was never meant to survive into the modern world. The deeper you go into this forgotten Cambodian temple, the more it feels like you are standing near something that should have remained hidden.

This is the official seal of the great Rajendra Chola. It shows a roaring tiger (symbol of Cholas) seated in front of twin fishes (symbol of Pandyas)....and above the bow & boar (symbol of Cheras & Chalukyas respectively).

The seal signifies Chola subjugation of all those great dynasties.Above it there is a royal parasol(chatra) flanked by fly whisks & topped by a chakra(wheel) - which are insignia of a Chakravartin ruler. Swastika & flowers are depicted as sign of auspiousness on both side of chakra while Lamps and weapons flank the tiger and twin fishes.

Sanskrit legend surrounds the seal & reads

“Etad Rajendra Colasya Parakesarivarmanah | Rajad-rajanya-mukuta-sreni-ratnesu sasanam || “


which means

"This is the order of Rajendra Chola alias Parakesarivarman, which (rests) on the crest jewel of (all) the reigning kings"

sati was never a part of Hindu society but it was deliberately induced by east India Company.

Fascinating! The britishers edited a Rigveda Hymn to lie that Sati pratha was a compulsory part of Hinduism. It wasn’t.
