Hinduism in China.
Hinduism is still present in China, though it is now in minuscule numbers. However archaeological evidences suggest there was once a thriving presence of Hindus in different provinces of medieval China.
In photos is the Kaiyuan temple, in Quanzhou, a province of southeast China. According to the historians, there were more than a dozen Hindu temples, including two big shrines, in Quanzhou and the surrounding villages, which were built by a group of Tamil traders who lived here during the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) periods.
In 1271, a visiting Italian merchant recorded that the Indian traders "were recognised easily. These rich Indian men and women mainly live on vegetables, milk and rice, unlike the Chinese who eat meat and fish."
The Kaiyuan temple show many Shaiva motifs, similar to the ones seen on temples in Tamil Nadu of the same period (10th-14th centuries).

In the 1930s, many murtis of Narasimha were unearthed from Quanzhou during an archaeological excavation by Wu Wenliang. Among other Hindu artefacts, images depicting Puranic stories associated with Vishnu and Shiva were also found, showing a style similar to what is seen on temples in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh of the same period (10th -14th centuries).
Besides the Tamil traders, Indians entered China through the Kamrup route (Assam) via Burma into south Chinese province of Yunnan, as well as other southwestern regions of modern China. This is supported by by the discovery of Shiva-linga and yoni in Jianchuan caves, while many other Hindu artefacts were found during excavation of Dali temple in Yunnan.
Another route to enter China was through Kashmir, and it was this route that carried Buddhism to China.

My post is in context to a Hanuman murti photo that I had shared on Hanuman Jayanti. The murti was from China, and few then had said there was no Hinduism ever in China, and the hanuman murti was actually from a jataka tale of Buddhism.
People are calling AOC an opportunist because sheโs rhetorically opposing the genocide in Palestine, while practically working to empower the people arming and funding it. That simple.
AOC isnโt naive. She must know that Joe Biden - again, a man who is arming, funding a supporting an ongoing genocide - is using her to launder his reputation and increase his chance of being elected so he can do more genocide.
Why does AOC get to support and empower genocidal fanatics - people who had the blood of millions on their hands already - and avoid criticism or scrutiny?
Those speaking up for AOC are mainly other high profile โleft wingโ Democrats and it smacks of closing ranks.

Book excerpt ๐งตon the Islamisation of the Javanese, the de-facto ruling race of Indonesia & nearly half its population. Over the 20thC Java went from a fundamentally pagan/Vedic society Muslim in name only, to an Islamic one now rapidly jetissoning its old culture & way of life.
Indonesia remains near-invisible globally as a country that's just competent enough to have stable government & avoid wars, but far too poor to project power/culture abroad. However, as E. Asian birthrates collapse & demand labour, this will change.
So its Islamisation matters.
So its Islamisation matters.
Indonesia is of course, one the world's most artificial states. Even its national "Indonesian" language is the mothertongue of almost no-one, being a creole form of Malay, growing massively after promotion as a Lingua Franca under the Dutch. This unintentionally spread Islam:
Jagalchi Market in Busan, South Korea, is my favorite fish market in the world. Or I should say: SEAFOOD market, because every marine creature imaginable (and then some) can be found there. Featured prominently is this favorite Korean snack, called meongge:
Is it animal, mineral, vegetable, or alien organism? Well, despite the misnomer 'sea pineapple', it's very much a member of Kingdom Animalia. Also known as 'sea squirt', it's an ascidian tunicate and is a relative of the most ancient pre-vertebrates. Who knew.
Meongge is usually eaten raw with various soy- and vinegar-based sauces and some gochujang fermented red chili paste. If you try it, know that you are eating the tunic of a tunicate. 3/5

It was exactly 23 years ago that a frail, yet a strong leader K Chandrashekar Rao, who, over the years, proved himself to be a man of iron gut and steel resolve, broke ranks with the Telugu Desam Party. He put an end to his 18-year-long peregrination with the party, once and for all and fell out with the party.
This article assumes significance as today (April 27) is the formation day of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) at Jaladrusyam on the banks of Hussain Sagar in 2001.
This article is surely not going to dwell about the ideology with which the TRS is floated and how strong was the Telangana sentiment when the party was launched and how effectively Rao had made a fervent appeal to the people of Telangana to unite together to fight for a separate Statehood.
KCR, who was elected consecutively for a fourth term from Siddipet Assembly constituency in 1999, was denied a Cabinet berth. The reasons the TDP leaders attributed were that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had to accommodate former CBI Director K Vijayarama Rao, who belongs to Velama caste, in the Cabinet, for a variety of reasons. Vijayarama Rao emerged as a giant killer by defeating the Congress group leader in the Assembly and a four-time MLA from Khairatabad Assembly constituency, Mr P Janardhan Reddy, was one; and his being the CBI director until then was another.
By then, another leader from Velama community Kotagiri Vidyadhara Rao, a trusted lieutenant of Naidu, was already a natural choice for being inducted into the Cabinet for obvious reasons.
For the uninitiated, Kotagiri Vidyadhara Rao, along with P Ashok Gajapathi Raju, T Devender Goud, and A Madhava Reddy were the top four leaders who masterminded the palace coup to dethrone the Telugu Desam Patriarch N T Rama Rao.
Of course, Tammineni Sitaram, S V Subba Reddy, Bhuma Nagireddy, and for that matter, KCR, too had their share of contribution in handling the situation. However, Naidu did not induct KCR into the Cabinet immediately. He took almost a year to get into Naiduโs Cabinet as Transport Minister. When he was re-elected in 1999, he expected that he would be continued in the State Cabinet, which did not happen.
Love him or hate him, you cannot ignore him. Thatโs the invincibility KCR achieved in the post-NTR era of the TDP. But, his bonhomie with Naidu did not last long. That way, KCR was neither a diehard fan of Naidu nor was he servile to him. He was, of course, a great fan of NTR.
So, Chandrababu Naidu made him the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly which also was of a Cabinet rank. Annoyed by this, KCR remained reluctant for a long time, silently suffering the insult within himself in the prime of his political career. Unable to digest the fact that he was surely sidelined and his political stability, if not growth, was circumvented, KCR had begun dabbling with the idea of reviving the separate Telangana agitation. In fact, KCR had been mulling over thisโ why not agitate for a separate Telangana that was crushed by Indira Gandhi with an iron hand -- for long. Before it became public, KCR has begun parleys with ideologues and staunch votaries of separate statehood for Telangana.
The first act of dissidence by KCR surfaced in May 2000. KCR, in his capacity of Deputy Speaker, dashed off a missive to his party supremo and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu spurning the State Governmentโs decision on electricity reforms and steep hike in power tariff. He expressed his serious displeasure over the decision and he strongly criticized the Government in his letter.
The timing of the letter was so perfect that it synced with the Telugu Desamโs Mahanadu, the annual jamboree held at Vijayawada for three days on May 27, 28 and 29, in 2000.

Mr Dasu Kesava Rao, who was then the Deputy Chief of Bureau of The Hindu, Hyderabad, specially asked me to go over to Vijayawada from Guntur to assist him in covering the Mahanadu (he knows I was covering the TDP in Hyderabad for several years before I joined The Hindu and moved to Guntur), while Vijayawada reporters, Mr Venkateswara Rao and Mr Ramana Rao, were tasked with covering the main sessions and resolutions. The first day was marked by bonhomie among the leaders and cadre; introduction of resolutions by different party functionaries, with long intermittent interventions by Naidu during the speeches of other leaders that became a habit for the TDP activists by then. Sycophantic gristmills ran over time to wax eloquent on Naiduโs leadership. A prominent leader from Mahbubnagar district, who was engaged in a casual conversation with me behind the main dais, was uncontrollably heaping encomiums on the TDP boss. โWho else would have so much of a patience to sit for several hours continuously without taking a break even to relieve himself, and sit straight up, except Naidu?โ he said demonstrating his โmore-loyal-than-the-kingโ attitude. I was infuriated only because of the heights of fawning. Initially I smiled, but the obsequiousness was going through the skies. I smirked and jibed saying: โSir, if I am blessed with all the fortunes that Mr Naidu had been bestowed with, if a rope party is literally elbowing out people to make way for me, and if I am the cynosure of all eyes for obvious reasons, even I would muster so much of patience for more than 20 hours. Itโs the question of positioning of a man. Would you have listened to NTR in September 1995 like this?โ He was taken aback by my trenchant attack, even though I said it sardonically. Mr Ashok Gajapathi Raju came there like a rescuer without knowing what was transpiring there and this Telangana leader took leave of me smiling wryly. Mr Raju found me with an unlit cigarette between my fingers and asked: โBurning problems?โ meaning if I were looking for a light. He was spot on. Good man. He instantly lent me his lighter.

The letter of KCR reached Naidu on the second day of the three-day plenum of the party in Year 2000. The day was all too important in the Mahanadu, for it is the birth anniversary of the party founder N T Rama Rao. Leader after leader would have spoken about the circumstances leading to NTR floating the party and how he had โemancipatedโ the people of Andhra Pradesh from the clutches of the Congress, conveniently and deliberately ignoring what happened during August 1995. But, all this cosmetic activity was left to the second rung of leaders and the top leadership went into a huddle and listeners at the meetings grew restive with ennui because of the rhetoric. They too began discussing KCRโs letter in groups. Detractors or silent dissidents of Naidu within the party lost no time in spreading the news and also content of KCRโs letter among the rank and file that gathered there. Everybody began discussing the letter in a hushed tone. Some of them were candid in agreeing to the views aired by the Deputy Speaker, some tried to be explicit, albeit on the sly. As KCR had gone hammer and tongs against Chandrababu Naidu, the letter caused ripples. No leader of KCRโs stature ever questioned Naiduโs unchallenged leadership in the party until then since Naidu usurped power from NTR in August 1995. As if to synchronize with the mood at the mega event of the party, the sky was overcast and it rained cats and dogs washing away the pandals towards the end of the day at the event. Mr Kesava Rao is such a wonderful reporter, he captures the mood and highlights the essence of any event in the first three to four paragraphs of a news report in a brilliant manner. His outstanding presentation skills are admired by many journalists and also readers. He summed up the whole thing โ the sky was overcast shattering the proceedings of the meet and the mood was overcast by the explosive letter by KCR -- in about 400 words. It was published on the page 1 of the next dayโs newspaper. Mr Kesava Rao asked me to write the political story on KCRโs letter, which I did. The next day was a gloomy day and there was poor turnout of party workers too at the Mahanadu, and several ministers left for Hyderabad in the morning itself. Mr. Naidu too cut short his customary long public speech and left for Hyderabad in the afternoon. As I was walking in to the venue in the morning of the last day, Mr Ashok Gajapathi Raju and Mr Vidyadhara Rao, who were confabulating on something, at a corner where the temporary office of the Chief Minister was set up, beckoned and specifically told me: โMore than the letter of Mr Chandrasekhar Rao, the mood analysis by Mr Dasu Kesava Rao, published on the front page of The Hindu, and your political analysis, published in all-India pages inside, hit us hard. Delhi is enquiring the details with curiosity.โ Incidentally, the TDP was an important partner of the Vajpayee-led National Democratic Alliance Government at that time. Ever since, KCR kept on stoking rebellion and condemned the servitude of some of his colleagues towards the party leadership, especially Chandrababu Naidu. His anger simmered like a magma and erupted like a volcano on April 27, 2001. He resigned for the posts of Deputy Speaker, MLA of Siddipet and also from the primary membership of the TDP and announced the launch of the TRS on the most eventful day.
