    The cow thing that Abhijit mentioned is a hundred percent true. Cows were smuggled way before lynching used to happen, but people never used to protest due to corruption but during BJP era that chain got broke. Same for riots, I was 5 years old when 2002 happened, police used to be scared from entering or arresting someone from perticular area because they had no political backing. That riots wasn't the first time either, but it was the first time when the majority retaliated.

      Religious violence in India includes acts of violence by followers of one religious group against followers and institutions of another religious group, often in the form of rioting.[1] Religious violence in India has generally involved Hindus and Muslims.[2][3]
      Despite the secular and religiously tolerant constitution of India, broad religious representation in various aspects of society including the government, the active role played by autonomous bodies such as National Human Rights Commission of India and National Commission for Minorities, and the ground-level work being done by non-governmental organisations, sporadic and sometimes serious acts of religious violence tend to occur as the root causes of religious violence often run deep in history, religious activities, and politics of India.[4][5][6][7]
      Along with domestic organizations, international human rights organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch publish reports[8] on acts of religious violence in India. From 2005 to 2009, an average of 130 people died every year from communal violence,[9] or about 0.01 deaths per 100,000 population. The state of Maharashtra reported the highest total number of religious violence related fatalities over that five-year period, while Madhya Pradesh experienced the highest fatality rate per year per 100,000 population between 2005 and 2009.[10] Over 2012, a total of 97 people died across India from various riots related to religious violence.[11]
      The US Commission on International Religious Freedom classified India as Tier-2 in persecuting religious minorities, the same as that of Iraq and Egypt. In a 2018 report, USCIRF charged Hindu nationalist groups for their campaign to "Saffronize" India through violence, intimidation, and harassment against non-Hindus.[12] Approximately one-third of state governments enforced anti-conversion and/or anti-cow slaughter[13] laws against non-Hindus, and mobs engaged in violence against Muslims whose families have been engaged in the dairy, leather, or beef trades for generations, and against Christians for proselytizing. "Cow protection" lynch mobs killed at least 10 victims in 2017.[12][14][15]
      Many historians argue that religious violence in independent India is a legacy of the policy of divide and rule pursued by the British colonial authorities during the era of Britain's control over the Indian subcontinent, in which local administrators pitted Hindus and Muslims against one another, a tactic that eventually culminated in the partition of India.[16]

      Buying Oxes, non milking Cows are allowed but these guys steal even calfs, pushing them in Cars, there are many videos one can see! If the people respond and in the nelee some harm happens to the thiefs. Why they have to steal, go and buy those Oxes, non milking cows up for sales, who stopped? No. This was nothing new, Ambedkar himself wrote in his book on Partition, modusooerandi of theirs.

    Interesting point by AIM 1:59:54 about dynasties lasting only 3 generations. It is estimated that 90% of wealthy families will lose their wealth by the third generation. In a way it shows the intertwining of finance and politics. Might even be possible to build mathematical models to estimate the likelihood of a political dynasty or a ultrawealthy family's collapse given sufficient data.

      @@SR-mv2mf the very question he tossed out about “muslims in the country” was such a narrow minded question to even ask without him having any knowledge on the issue, its guys like him who are the real weapons of the lefties and wokes, when he said “my hindu friends in parties are open to so and so opinions” was shut down when AIM said such discourse is been normal on the other side as well he had no answer to give, youth and inexperience should not be an excuse here, if the guy is running a pod he better be informed and if he’s not he should not make blanket statements. its guys like him from generation to generation who may not like the ideals of hinduism for the narrow minded teachings his elders may have praticed (trust me we have plenty of blind worshippers on our side) are the ones to go flat out to denounce it that has damaged us and made us look like clowns. when a real practicing and benevolent hindu always keeps his or her faith home and does what’s best for him or her as per the learnings of the society that’s handed down to them and it can be good or bad in nature.

    The book of Sitaram Goel titled ‘Perversion of India’s Political Parlance’. This book essentially talks about the language of the left and how it has evolved over the years and how it is impacting society even in current times. This 65 pages book is an essential read for every non-left person to understand the tactics of the left through their wordplay.
    In chapter 2 titled ‘Words which defy dictionaries’, Sitaram Goel discusses at length how some of the words we use in our day-to-day life defy the dictionary.
    LEFT VERSUS RIGHT
    o Leftists are defined as ‘progressives’ while the Rightists are defined as conservatives. The dictionary defines Right as “tending or having the power to keep entire, to retain, to preserve” and also as “averse of change.” However, there is nothing wrong with preserving or retaining something unless what is preserved is undesirable
    PROGRESSIVE VERSUS REACTIONARY
    o Dictionaries define progressives as one who is “moving forward, making progress.” But, there is no definition of progress.
    o Dictionaries define a reactionary as “one who attempts to revert to past political
    conditions.” However, this is a very vague generalization, and it is very difficult, almost impossible for any people, at any stage of history, to revert to past political
    conditions
    REVOLUTIONARY VERSUS REVIVALIST
    o Dictionaries define revolution as a ‘Radical change in the government’. However, it is nowhere indicated whether the change is for the better or worse.
    o Dictionaries define a revivalist as “one who promotes religious, architectural or
    other revivals.” The left has a problem with religious revival. This is understandable
    when we look at closed creeds like Christianity and Islam which strike at the very roots of rationalism, humanism, and universalism. But the objection becomes blind when it comes to the ancient civilization of Sanatan Dharma.
    SOCIALIST VERSUS CAPITALIST
    o Sitaram Goel Ji calls Socialism a ‘Magical word which paralyzes all thinking processes in a majority of our politically conscious intelligentsia.’
    SECULAR VERSUS COMMUNAL
    o The word secular is defined in the dictionaries as “the belief that the state, morals, education, etc. should be independent of religion.” But in India, it means only one thing - eschewing everything Hindu and espousing everything Islamic.
    o Every politician who wants to qualify as secular needs to endorse everything that is
    Islamic, and denounce everything that is Hindu.
    o One is not secular unless one harbors and expresses a pronounced anti-Hindu animus.
    DEMOCRATIC VERSUS FASCIST
    o The Leftists swear by democracy only so long as they are in the opposition. They
    believe and proclaim that they will use force to transform society once they are in
    power. It is, therefore, difficult to understand how the Leftists label themselves as democrats and others as Fascists!
    Sitaram Goel rightly defined this situation where ‘The so-called Rightists are collapsing under the weight of certain words which the Leftists have heaped upon their heads without rhyme or reason.’
    In the third and fourth chapters, he goes on to explain how the language of the left is an imported language that talks in the same grammar of other imperialist languages like Islam, Christianity, Communism, and British Imperialism. Like every other imperialist language, the language of the left divides mankind into two exclusive camps. It bands all believers into a brotherhood that cuts across nations. Sitaram Goel believes although Hindus overcame Islamic imperialism, but they failed to see through the language of that imperialism, and hence a lot of Hindu saints accepted Islam as a religion. A similar phenomenon is happening with the analysis of left by the Indians today. Although Indians have identified the communists, they are unable to identify their imperialistic language.
    In the fifth chapter titled, ‘The History of Leftist Language’, he goes on to explain the history of all the fundamental formulations of the Indian left. The Prophet of the Indian Left, M.N.Roy, believed that India has never been a nation before the British conquest. The Gangadhar Adhikari thesis called India ‘a number of nationalities inhabiting a continent than a composite national unit.’ It even goes ahead to preach that Swami Vivekanand was a leader of ‘Spiritual Imperialism’. The language of Communist imperialism was borrowed, lock, stock and barrel, by the Congress Socialist Party led by Pt. Nehru. The only point on which the two (Communists and Socialists) differed was the personality and role of Mahatma Gandhi. While the communist called him a ‘Bourgeoise scoundrel’, the socialists believed that the mass movement was not possible without the leadership of Gandhi. Sitaram Goel believes that the potential for purveying the poison of Leftist language is considerable, and Indian nationalism, which remains their topmost target, has to guard itself against this.
    In the sixth chapter titled, ‘The role of the Leftist language’, he goes on to explain how Nationalism in India was named ‘Hindu Communalism’. The leftist launched a blistering attack on nationalists and branded them as “Hindu communalists who were bent upon breaking the broad national front against British imperialism by bringing in religious obscurantism and cultural chauvinism borrowed from the primitive Hindu past.” The nationalists were thus made a suspect in the eyes of Congress vis-à-vis Islam, so much so that all the nationalists had been ostracized from the Congress fold. The left even went on to accuse Congress of using too many Hindu symbols even going as far as terming the national song ‘Bande Mataram’ as an ‘Anti-Muslim Crusade’. Sitaram Goel explains that The specter of Hindu communalism has never ceased to haunt the Hindus. Nor has the love for Islam suffered any loss after the partition. In fact, The love for Islam and Muslims has been labeled as secularism in the post-independence period.
    In the seventh chapter, he goes on to discuss the role of Mahatma Gandhi. He believes that it is a mistake to blame Gandhi entirely for appeasement policy. He says “The anti-Gandhi nationalists have never tried honestly to face the fact that it was he and not they who had stirred the minds and hearts of Hindu masses”. While explaining Gandhi’s policy towards Muslims as - full of appeasement which made Muslims more hostile, he even states the fact that Gandhi is to be blamed for his failure vis-à-vis Muslims, only in so for as he was at the helm of affairs during that particular period of Indian history. He doubts that the Hindu society would have been able to prevent partition even if there had been no Gandhi. Sitaram Goel states how the Hindu leaders preceding Gandhi approached the Muslim problem. He explains how Hindus contributed to the Anglo-Oriental Mohammedan College which later became the Aligarh Muslim University and the main seat of Muslim separatism. He recalls that the Swadeshi movement faced a great backlash in East Bengal with an orgy of riots, but there is no evidence of Hindu leaders coming forward to beat the backlash. He also explains that in the Lucknow Pact, the Hindu leaders conceded the separate electorate, even after knowing the idea of pan-Islamism. The leader of Congress back then was Lokmanya Tilak and not Gandhi. Justice demands that anti-Gandhi nationalists review Hindu history vis-à-vis Islam and lay the blame where it belongs. They will soon find out that Mahatama Gandhi was neither the first nor the last to accord the status of religion to Islam. Most Hindus are still chanting Sarva-Dharma-samabhava vis-a-vis Islam in the face of Muslim fanaticism, though over decades have passed since the death of Mahatma Gandhi. Sitaram Goel explains that the failure of Mahatma is the failure of Hindu society.
    In chapter eight titled, ‘Towards a language of Indian Nationalism’, he explains that the one lesson we learn from the freedom movement as a whole is that a religious and cultural awakening in Hindu society has to precede political awakening. The language of Indian nationalism has to be the language of Sanatana Dharma before it can challenge and defeat the various languages of imperialism. He explains that close creeds like Islam and Christianity cannot be allowed to subvert India’s ancient spiritual heritage. The complex culture created by the spiritual traditions of Sanatana Dharma is the national culture of India. The cultures brought in by Islam, Christianity and Communism are imperialist impositions. Those who talk about a composite culture are either ignorant of what culture really means or are trying to sabotage India’s national culture in the service of this or that imperialism. He explains that a struggle is taking place in the political arena between the forces of nationalism and the forces of anti-nationalism. Leftism, even when it is not a part of the Communist movement is, by and large, the political expression of a self-alienated psyche. It serves as a smoke-screen for all anti-national forces. Sitaram Goel believes all the nationalists must clean the anti-national forces and become one again as a national society in the ancestral homeland of Bharatvarsha. This is possible by countering the Leftist language and by promoting the National language that has been developed by our seers and Rishis over the ages.

He can’t be thinking-‘mere badme desh ka kuch bhi ho fark nahi padta’😅

    I love Abhijit and normally i fully agree with him, however he got a lot wrong about Nepoleon. The parts he got right were that he wasnt JUST defeated by the winter in Russia. He was defeated by a failure of imagination. Kutusov (the Russian general) had a plan to basically chide Nepoleon's forces and not give him a decisive battle until he was ready. This stretched Nepoleon's supply lines, and when the battle of Borodino happened right outside Moscow, the Grandè Army was weaker and less effective. And while Nepoleon won the day, it was a pharric victory.
    The other thing that Kutusov did brilliantly was that he did not allow the Grandè Army to be able to live off the land, as was Nepoleon's greatest advantage to his corp system he had instituted. Never the less, what lost Nepoleon the war was that deapite conquering Moscow, tsar Alexander the I fled to St. Petersburg and refused to surrender. And as such Nepoleon had to wait out the winter in Moscow without supplies and watch his Army starve.
    When he retreated, Kutusov and Alexander pounced on him, harassing his forces all the way back to the edge of the Danube.
    The 2nd thing Abhijit got wrong was the tactically, Nepoleon was umamtched. And he only lost at Waterloo because Blucher and the Prussians arrived in time to save the day. Wallington was on his dying breath, and if Marshal Ney's cavalry charge on Wellington's right had come a few hours earlier, the British forces would've been flanked.
