#Erdogan has won the elections in #Turkey.

#Indian #liberals are dismayed because Erdogan is trying to #Islamize Turkey.

But this is a decision of the people of Turkey.

Erdogan has won through a democratic, free and fair election.

This is what the people of Turkey want.

(1/)
If you claim to love #Democracy, that is, the will of the people, then you should be happy with this result.

Erdogan is a #Democrat. He is not #Liberal. He converted the #HagiaSophia into a mosque.

But #Democracy has NOTHING TO DO with #Liberalism, and vice versa.

(2/)
#Ataturk was a #Liberal in every sense of the word. He abolished the #Caliphate, closed down #Madarsa s, changed the language of the country from #Arabic to #Turkish, banned the #Fez cap, banned the #Sufi and #Dervish orders, and promoted scientific thinking.

दीदी पढ़ाई-लिखाई में खूब होशियार थी।
दीदी को कई किताबें मुँहजुबानी याद थी।
दीदी ने खूब सारा इतिहास पढ़ रखा था।
दीदी की नसों में खून नहीं *Secularism* बहता था।
दीदी को सभी धर्म एक ही लगते थे। Image
दीदी को अपने भगवानों पर भरोसा नहीं था।
दीदी भी सोचती थी कि भगवान ने तो सबको इंसान बनाया है, फिर ये हिन्दू-मुस्लिम किसने किया?
दीदी हर जगह topper थी इसलिये उन्हें लगता था कि उन्होंने सब कुछ जान लिया है।
फिर जब दीदी IAS की परीक्षा में भी top मार गयी तब दीदी *अपुन ही ब्रह्म* वाली अवस्था प्राप्त कर गयी। दीदी का Secularism उबाल मारने लगा। दीदी को भी मुस्लिम समाज वर्षों से उत्पीड़ित और राजनीति का शिकार लगता था।
*सच्चा मुसलमान कभी भरोसा नहीं तोड़ सकता* दीदी भी यही सोचती थी।

Thread on Atheism 🔥🙏🏼🤔

1/ As an atheist, I've often been told that I'm soulless, immoral, and a danger to society. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Atheism is simply the absence of belief in a god or gods.
2/ For me, atheism is about finding meaning and purpose in this life, rather than waiting for an afterlife. It's about taking responsibility for my own actions and making the most of the time I have here on earth. 🌍💪🏼
3/ Atheism doesn't mean I hate religion or religious people. It means I respect their right to believe what they want, as long as it doesn't harm others. 🤝🏼👍🏼

Why is the BJP successful in consolidating the Majority of Hindu Votes? BJP is the only party which seeks votes in the name of #Hinduism. ( and Shivsena that too only in Maharashtra) 1/2
Other national and majority of regional parties seek votes in the name of secularism which is being split among many parties.

Simple Mathematics 😐 2/2

You never hear of #animalrights activists having empathy with their counterparts in India, even when those animal rights activists are kileld for their efforts at protecting cows

indianexpress.com/article/india/…
In India doing the exact same animal rights activism as in the western nations earns the tag of being right-wing Hindu fascists. In this upside-down situation #AnimalCruelty is lauded as #secularism
The same anti-Hindu media which support cow slaughter in India then warn how eating beef is contributing to #globalwarming and #climatechange bbc.co.uk/news/explainer…

@AlpaKanya My view: Secularism in a new avatar; people can be multi-religious. This means that a person can have multiple minority faiths along with/without following majority religion. #ChristianSikhs #SikhChristians could be a reality or a tactic for easy immigration. Needs investigation.
@AlpaKanya We can see a lot of Sikhs around, the bride could be Christian & also we can see a photograph on the wall of Guru with a white turban behind the Padri.
The question is, does the Minority Act allow a person to officially/legally follow multiple minority faiths at the same time?
@AlpaKanya Now I can believe in Jesus Christ but i am a Hindu as well. Now can I legally follow two or more faiths at the same time !?!
Does our Constitution allow me to be a Secular #HinduChristian or #ChristianHindu & likewise following any other or multiple faiths !?!

A brief on Secularism in India by Sita Ram Goel. A Thread...

The concept of Secularism is western and denounced by Ilam and Christian. They prescribe theocracy (ruling in the name of God by priests or mullahs) where in state acts as secular arm of Church or Islam.

1/n
Christianity has reconciled itself of theocracy whereas Isalm has not. Trend in Islam has been to return to theocracy.

Word #Secularism is nowhere to be find in writings of Jawaharlal Nehru before Independence. Even in constitution of India enacted in January 1950, the...2/n
word does not find place in preamble or anywhere else. It was inserted by #IndiraGandhi in emergency she imposed in 1975-76.

Word became frequent in writing of Jawaharlal Nehru after death of Sardar Patel. The word has gained parlance in parties that have nothing in common...3/n

1/n Let's talk a bit about #Secularism in this thread.

We are told that the Western World gave us the "Secular Values" with the "Separation of State and Church (Religious Institution)" and hence State not being Religious.

But how true has it been?
2/n Till my architecture school days, I lived with the belief that the USA, UK etc are non-Christian state but the exposure to the truth baffled me, however till today they are shown as non-Christian (say Secular states).

Did you know that motto of USA comes from Bible?
3/n "In God we trust" comes from the Psalms 56.11.

Imagine, if someone proposes "Jai Siya/Shri Ram" as motto of Bharat, or even "Aham Brahmasmi".

Didn't we had bunch of people crying over "Asto ma sadgamaye..." and preaching to eat up western values?

The 2k kids are very different. My elder son who is in 8 (#CBSE) had to submit an assignment for the Social Sciences subject yesterday (which was the deadline) and was quite restless about the same.This is not the case normally as he is quite self reliant and organized.(1/8)
Ram and I stepped in to help him. The assignment demanded students to put up a picture which depicts #secularism, write a few lines about (glorifying) #secularism and further write about three major religions of India.(2/8)
My son exclaimed us saying it was you people who enlightened me about what is happening in our country in the name of #secularism and I have also read and understood about it. If I do an assignment glorifying something which I don't believe in just for the sake of marks, (3/8)

Contributed to @Guardian Podcast 'Today In Focus': The murder of schoolteacher Samuel #Paty who had shown his class #cartoons of the prophet #Muhammad has rekindled a debate in #France over #secularism & the state’s role in regulating #FreeSpeech. (21'-29')
I emphasise that we can discuss the general problem of hateful #cartoons about the Prophet #Muhammad & his Muslim followers that spread collective guilt & humiliate often underprivileged #minority communities beyond acts of barbaric #terrorism. #Racism #Islamophobia #CharlieHebdo
I think that @EmmanuelMacron acted in a manner that was rash & unstatesmanlike following the vile murder of Samuel #Paty. He has effectively incorporated #cartoons mocking #Islam into its domestic policies. He defended them as part of French culture & #France’s global image.

Let me clarify why is it next to impossible for #Hindus to win this ongoing Ideological/ civilizational war with us #Muslims:

If the #Hindu cause is +1, #Islamic cause is -1, and 0 is neutral, then we #Muslims are fighting hard for -1 while U Hindus R aiming for just 0!..(1/12)
..Let me explain:

V #Muslims attack #Hinduism.
U #Hindus attack only Traitors & Pakistan!

V fight for #Islamic cause.
U fight for #Nationalist cause!

We #Muslims want #Sharia state.
You #Hindus want #Secular state! ...(2/12)
... V R fighting #Religious war.
U just fighting political war!

V vote on Islamic grounds.
U vote on #SabkaSathSabkaVikas

V #Muslims never raise voice for #KashmiriPandits but burn cities for #Rohingyas!
U #Hindus speak for not only KP but also for Sufis & Balochis! ..(3/12)
