Favorite History Books || Assyria: The Rise and Fall of the World’s First Empire by Eckart Frahm ★★★★☆

… This birth of Assyria in the proper sense of the term— its emergence as a land that included great cities such as Nineveh, Calah, and Arbela, and soon others much farther away— marked the beginning of a new era: the Middle Assyrian period. Now a full-fledged monarchy, Assyrians started to see their land as a peer of the most powerful states of the time, from Babylonia in the south to Egypt in the west. During the eleventh century BCE, the Assyrian kingdom experienced a new crisis, this one caused by climate change, migrations, and internal tensions. It lost most of its provinces, especially in the west. But when the dust settled, it managed to rise from the ashes faster than any of the other states in the region. A number of energetic and ruthless Assyrian rulers of the Neo-Assyrian period (ca. 934– 612 BCE) took advantage of the weakness of their political rivals, embarking on a systematic campaign of subjugation, destruction, and annexation. Their efforts, initially aimed at the reconquest of areas that had been under Assyrian rule before and then moving farther afield, were carried out with unsparing and often violent determination, cruelly epitomized in an aphoristic statement found in another of Esarhaddon’s inscriptions: “Before me, cities, behind me, ruins.” . . . During the last years of Esarhaddon’s reign, Assyria ruled over a territory that reached from northeastern Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean to Western Iran, and from Anatolia in the north to the Persian Gulf in the south. Parks with exotic plants lined Assyrian palaces, newly created universal libraries were the pride of Assyrian kings, and an ethnically diverse mix of people from dozens of foreign lands moved about the streets of Assyrian cities such as Nineveh and Calah. Yet it was not to last. Only half a century after Esarhaddon’s reign, the Assyrian state suffered a dramatic collapse, culminating in the conquest and destruction of Nineveh in 612 BCE. Assyria’s fall occurred long before some better- known empires of the ancient world were founded: the Persian Empire, established in 539 BCE by Cyrus II; Alexander the Great’s fourth-century BCE Greco-Asian Empire and its successor states; the third-century BCE empires created by the Indian ruler, Ashoka and the Chinese empero, Qin Shi Huang; and the most prominent and influential of these, the Roman Empire, whose beginnings lay in the first century BCE. The Assyrian kingdom may not have the same name recognition. But for more than one hundred years, from about 730 to 620 BCE, it had been a political body so large and so powerful that it can rightly be called the world’s first empire. And so Assyria matters. “World history” does not begin with the Greeks or the Romans— it begins with Assyria. “World religion” took off in Assyria’s imperial periphery. Assyria’s fall was the result of a first “world war.” And the bureaucracies, communication networks, and modes of domination created by the Assyrian elites more than 2,700 years ago served as blueprints for many of the political institutions of subsequent great powers, first directly and then indirectly, up until the present day. This book tells the story of the slow rise and glory days of this remarkable ancient civilization, of its dramatic fall, and its intriguing afterlife.

We are now faced with a massive propaganda alleging Hindu persecution of Buddhism. Let us study one example: the story of alleged Hindu persecution of Buddhism by Pushyamitra, a general in the service of the declining Maurya dynasty, who founded the Sunga dynasty after a coup détat. This story provides the standard secularist refutation of the myth that Hinduism has always been tolerant.

The Marxist historian Gargi Chakravartty writes:

"Another myth has been meticulously promoted with regard to the tolerance of the Hindu rulers. Let us go back to the end of second century B.C. Divyavadana, in a text of about the second-third century A.D., depicts Pushyamitra Shunga as a great persecutor of Buddhists. In a crusading march with a huge army he destroyed stupas, burnt monasteries and killed monks. This stretched up to Shakala, i.e. modern Sialkot, where he announced a reward of 100 gold coins to the person who would bring the head of a Buddhist monk. Even if this is an exaggeration, the acute hostility and tensions between Pushyamitra and the monks cannot be denied."

We need not comment on Chakravartty's misreading of Divyavadana as a person's name rather than a book title. Remark the bias in the assumption that the supposedly undeniable conflict between the king and the monks proves the kings intolerance; for what had been their own contribution to the conflict? There is no good reason why the Buddhist monks should, by contrast, be assumed to be blameless when they came in conflict with a king.

The story is in fact given in two near contemporaneous (2nd century A.D.) Buddhist histories, the Asokavadana and the Divyavadana, the two narratives are almost verbatim the same and very obviously have a common origin. This non-contemporary story (which surfaces more than three centuries after the alleged facts) about Pushyamitra's offering money for the heads of Buddhist monks is rendered improbable by external evidence: the well-attested historical fact that he allowed and patronized the construction of monasteries and Buddhist universities in his domains, as well as the still extant stupa of Sanchi. After Ashoka's lavish sponsorship of Buddhism, it is perfectly possible that Buddhist institutions fell on slightly harder times under the Sungas, but persecution is quite another matter. The famous historian of Buddhism Etienne Lamotte has observed: To judge from the documents, Pushyamitra must be acquitted through lack of proof.

In consulting the source texts a significant literary fact is noticed which has not been seen mentioned in the scholarly literature (e.g. Lamotte, just quoted), and which must put on record. First of all, a look at the critical edition of the Asokavadana (Illustrious Acts of Ashoka) tells a story of its own concerning the idealization of Buddhism in modern India.

This is how Sujit Kumar Mukhopadhyaya, the editor of the Asokavadana, relates this work's testimony about Ashoka doing to a rival sect that very thing of which Pushyamitra is accused later on:

"At that time, an incident occurred which greatly enraged the king. A follower of the Nirgrantha (Mahavira) painted a picture, showing Buddha prostrating himself at the feet of the Nirgrantha. Ashoka ordered all the Ajivikas of Pundravardhana (North Bengal) to be killed. In one day, eighteen thousand Ajivikas lost their lives. A similar kind of incident took place in the town of Pataliputra. A man who painted such a picture was burnt alive with his family. It was announced that whoever would bring to the king the head of a Nirgrantha would be rewarded with a dinara (a gold coin). As a result of this, thousands of Nirgranthas lost their lives. Only when Vitashoka, Ashoka's favourite Arhat (an enlightened monk, a Theravada-Buddhist saint), was mistaken for a Nirgrantha and killed by a man desirous of the reward, did Ashoka revoke the order."

Typically, Mukhopadhyaya refuses to believe his eyes at this demythologization of the secular emperor Ashoka:

"This is one of the best chapters of the text. The subject, the style, the composition, everything here is remarkable. In every shloka there is a poetic touch.( ... ) But the great defect is also to be noticed. Here too Ashoka is described as dreadfully cruel. If the central figure of this story were not a historic personage as great and well-known as Ashoka, we would have nothing to say. To say that Ashoka, whose devotion to all religious sects is unique in the history of humanity (as is well-known through his edicts) persecuted the Jains or the Ajivikas is simply absurd. And why speak of Ashoka alone? There was no Buddhist king anywhere in India who persecuted the Jains or the Ajivikas or any other sect."

Contrary to Mukhopadhyayas confident assertion, there are a few attested cases of Buddhist-Jain conflict. The Mahavamsa says that the Buddhist king Vattagamini in Sri Lanka destroyed a Jain vihara. In the Shravana-Belgola epitaph of Mallishena, the Jain teacher Akalanka says that after a successful debate with Buddhists, he broke a Buddha statue with his own foot. The same (rare, but not non-existent) phenomenon of Buddhist fanaticism can be found outside India: the introduction of Buddhism in Tibet and Mongolia is associated with a forceful suppression of the native Shamanism. In recent decades in Sri Lanka, Buddhist monks have been instrumental in desecrating and demolishing Hindu temples. None of this proves that Buddhist doctrine incites its followers to persecution of non-Buddhists, but neither should anything human be considered alien to Buddhist human beings.

Caste is, as Ambedkar said, “not just a division of labour but, a division of labourers.” Wherever this institution went, it tried to freeze the society into a fossilized rulership and a fossilized disposable and disciplined labouring class. And just as division of labour alienates the workers from her work, product of her labour and life itself; the division of labourers alienated the whole of society and deeply fractured the spirit of human morality and solidarity. The caste structure gave birth to the caste society which has outlived the mode of domination it was invented to serve.

The straitjacket of caste did not emerge in isolation. It is one part of the centuries old project of societal control – Brahmanism. This entry is an attempt to find an anarchist orientation towards Bhrahmanism and its annihilation by looking at some episodes in its history and mutations.

Brahmanism, primarily, is and always has been a socio-political ideology and not a religious movement. The ideology consists in the believe that Brahmans have established links with the higher realms, they are the natural advisors to the rulers on social and political matters and, that they hold the highest place in the social hierarchy. The hierarchy consists in a four tier system of Varna and those who are out of this hierarchy forming the Avarna strata, based on Brahmans principles of standardized purity. Within this image of the Brahmanical society the caste becomes the essential of realizing the dominance of Brahmans as the priestly caste. To insure the success and reproduction of this institution every aspect of human life from the cradle to the grave are governed by strict laws codified in various books and laws of local kingdoms.

This vision of society was largely realized in significant parts of the sub-continent with varying degrees of success, modifications and compromises with other power system. This was not an easy task and beginning with the invasion of Alexander of Macedon, the Brahmans were prosecuted in the north-western region of what is now called India, the only region where they had influence. This continued with Ashoka’s and later his son, Kunala’s murdering of the “treacherous” Brahmans who were fueling anti-Maurya sentiments in local courts. The situation was so bad for the priestly caste that they were sure that the end of the world has finally arrived – the end of Kali Yuga. But Brahmanism not only survived but thrived and the impacts of its unfortunate success to this day are leaving bloody marks on human body and spirit.

Brahmanism conquered not by the blade of the sword but with the succor of the myth. Brahmans spread stories of their demigod like powers, the benefits of befriending and dangers of crossing them. Most importantly they provided to the rulers a divine lineage and right to rule till the end of time and the practical knowledge of statecraft. The Brahmans without ever becoming a threat to political power gave rulers a lineage they can link back to the Puranas and the Vedic era. They were not only able but necessary for the prosperity of the land, making the ruler the permanent and necessary fixture in the mind of the masses.

The benefits flow both ways. Kshatriya and the other ruling castes were essential for realizing the Brahmanical society. It was the duty of the warrior class to institute Danda for its maintenance. In essence, Brahmanism is statism. The kingly class is so essential to the ideology that the end of Yugas are marked by the Kshatriyas becoming incompetent in maintaining the Varna vyavastha and that the evidence that the end of time had not yet arrived was the fact that most king’s lineage maintained their thrones.

This perfect union of the priestly caste and the ruling class is no accident. Humans, when incapable of making sense of the untimely flood, failed crops or plague conjure up unseen forces that help us make sense of the unpredictability and meaninglessness around. Through the combined effect of general ignorance and the need for self-preservation the first seed of authority and power is sown in the heart. God becomes the Supreme Ruler. Once formalized enough, we try to tame the forces through rituals and sacrifices. In initial stages this practice is individualistic. The relation of these forces or gods is direct and intimate, but soon these practices become socialized and a specialized class of sacrifice experts emerges. The link of individual to the god is broken and a flesh and blood human becomes a new center of social power. The same phenomenon repeats itself in sphere of social organization and to tame the social forces in our favor we learn to surrender to the Ruler, sent on earth by the Supreme Ruler. To the extent we submit to a power for self preservation, from corporate bureaucracies to nation states and families, all forms of rulershipare religion.

It was during this period of renewal of Brahmanism, returning from the brink of extinction that the pantheon that is now recognized as Hindu deities was gradually created. First by casting the individualistic, semi-socialized religious cults of Krishna, Shiva etc into the mold of Brahmanism and later by making the newer gods the incarnation of the former. In this process of absorptionreplicating the hierarchy of the Brahmanical society into the realm of gods. Through economic and political coercion the religious power now served the interest of the Brahmans and states.

I skip the changes this Brahmanical temporal authority ordained by the divine authority underwent over the next few centuries and under the Mughal rule and turn to its first interaction with capitalism, the Company Raj, colonization and modern nation states that shook the roots of the old project. In the preceding decades the merchant caste, with its control over rural finance and land displaced the Brahmans from the top of social hierarchy. In Bengal province by the end of the nawab rule fifteen families controlled 60% of the land and in Punjab the British administration had to introduce a law to regulate the acquisition of land by the money lenders on failure of payment of debts. And with the changing nature of sovereignty from the village level to the new national imagination Brahmanism had to mutate once more to survive.

The core of this mutation was the deep-seated hatred of the individual – her free development and initiative. Faced with European capitalism, in its vulgarized disguise of individual freedom the reformers, who had taken up the task of reviving the Indian culture by going back to the Vedic sources, were united in there contempt for the individual. They found in the Varna system the solution to the modern problems of nations. Caste does not necessarily have to be based on heredity but the proper division of labour and social activity based on natural hierarchies which was necessitated by the needs of social organization. Caste with natural leadership of Brahmans, was no longer justified by the metaphysics of religion became the outcome of the theology of social sciences, its theory of race, competition, gender superiority and survival of the fittest. Its aim was to serve the New God of “national interest”.

In search of this nation Brahmanism morphed into Hindutva. This new outward expression of the lust for power also explicitly presented itself as a political project and not a religious movement. Within the Hindi, Hindu, Hindustan that is to bring glory to the nation state, the Hindu is a casteist structure. This was novel. The Hindu identity for a political project was necessitated by two factors. First, the apparent feebleness of the social unity – togetherness and second, the essential principle of nationhood – unity through separation.

Savarkar understood this principle well – “nothing can weld peoples into a nation and nations into a state as the pressure of a common foe. Hatred separates as well as unites.” A nation is that artificial and arbitrary unit of territory and subjects that a political power has acquired for controlling and fleecing. It destroys the natural love and association with the place of birth and our immediate communities through its industrialization and directs that human feeling towards the worship of this abstraction, its symbols and submission to its policies. This form of rulership finds its fullest expression in Totalitarianism of Nazism, Bolshevism or Brahmanism.

The national identity of Hindu provided the aspect of togetherness through idea of blood, culture and language, modification of Shudhi, etc. and its separation through the idea of the Muslim. Whether the state takes refuge in the ideology and shape of Hindutva or secular nationalism – two face of the same coin, its true nature remains the same, that of attuning all human expressions to the beat of this soulless political machine in the name of “national interest”. This technical term does not include the interests of the population – free and quality education and health care, well paid jobs or free or cheap housing for all, it means the interest of the market, the interest of the war machine that is the life blood of the state – its defense from other competing states, its source of expansion outside and control within.

After the transfer of power in 1947, India has remained a fractured community with its apartheid of caste and material conditions furnished by generations of deprivation and violence. In the rural regions it maintain the old structure of control and coercion while in urban setting it modified mildly and justified the stratification by logic of hygiene and merit – that is justifying privilege with privilege itself. The new Indian state did not start a project of actively constructing a casteist state but through its passivity towards caste issues it perpetuated the caste society within the shell of a capitalist state system, each feeding off the other. The maintenance of hierarchical corporate structure that is the Hindu family and segregation through the institution of marriage. The upper castes continued their take over of bureaucracy and managerial positions in state and cultural institution, practically, without any reservation mechanism and that continue to define the Indian society till date.

If we anarchists say that sanctity of the temple of the parliament and its new priesthood just like the temple of the old gods and the Brahmans is a lie and deception then, what do we have to say about reservation and other methods of achieving equality within the current state of things? To this we say that even the ritual of horse sacrifice must have yielded results for the masses, not from the blood drawn but from their organizing for themselves, taking things into their own hand and shaking things up. This assertive self-organization of the masses in each epoch of history has realized to the extent possible the moral and social progress. And within the modern nation states this progress, which is the collective wealth of our humanity has received a degree of formalization.

The erosion of this progress and regression will always be a possibility as long as there is a power whose control it weakens. And when this social progress is at its highest the instruments of domination have also become sharper, deadly and now threaten us with the possibility of ending the only known experiment of life in the universe. Anarchist believe that through continuing this assertive self-organizing for securing more and more moral progress we not only improve our immediate condition but also prepare ourself for the final destruction of social, political and economic rulership. A liberal welfare state can be an holding ground that reduces the impact of the blows from the state and the caste society and gives us opportunity for further progress. But the ultimate safeguard from Brahmanism or any other form of absolute domination over human body and spirit is Anarchism.

In an hierarchical society, certain individuals at particular historical junctures can play a catalytic role in either accelerating the progress or dragging it back for decades. If the former, then too, it is the social organization of individuals based on values of equality, mutual aid and decentralization of power that maintain it. There is further limit of the strategy of “having the right faces in the high places”. Once in position of power, the prerogative of the institutions dictate their actions. Having women, dalit-bahujan or queer people In position of power, like other holding strategies can make some limited gains but in the end the only interests these individuals represent are their own. No person can “represent” another person, a whole community lesser still. It maintains the relations of dependence and submission and further dulls the instincts for self-initiative and fosters moral passivity – a perfect condition for Brahmanism or any form of authority to exploit.

Even if the major decision of life and society are now made by the captains of industry and states-persons, and even if these decisions are not primarily driven by Brahmanical interests (and how different are these differences after all?) Caste is still alive. Some aspects of caste have been weakened and at the same time others strengthened. The general economic inequality, access to housing, well paid jobs – which means class – is graded on caste lines. As one historian noted, “it is striking how many of the country’s billionaires today are, though not direct descendants of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century magnates, certainly originate from the same communities which began to accumulate wealth and influence at the end of the Mughal period and during the rise of the English East India Company.” The social stigma, practices of untouchablity and the Brahmanical institution of marriage flourish. Two great forces are gravitating towards forging a new Brahmanical-Hindutva order and a hazy road for taking in the opposite direction also gradually becoming visible. Both possibilities, like always depend on one thing – Organizing.

The force of social reaction to the neo-liberal bloodbath which turned a preventable health crisis into an global pandemic and in India made 12 crore people unemployed in a single month is the decisive factor in the fate of Brahmanism. 10 crore young Indians have given up all hope of finding a job and had stopped searching for work long before the current economic breakdown. Half of the youth of this country are unemployed. And those who have work are working 12 hours shifts to survive hand to mouth. In this constantly changing external world the individual loses her equilibrium. These uprooted millions turn into a mob seeking a source of stability and finding themselves incapable of self emancipation look for external power that would uplift them and give life a new meaning. Along with religiosity, in some cases the caste relations are strengthened as they are seen as a source of nourishment.

This combined with RSS’s mobilization and organization is the path towards strengthening Leader worship and Hindutva. The breaking up of the process of class reproduction and the erosion of the middle class, and with it the hopes and aspirations of millions in front of their eyes is accelerating. By some estimate at least half of the children born in middle class do not remain in it when they reach adulthood. The concentrating boss class is eager to exploit the people on caste lines. This is where one possibility of going in the other direction lies – poor peoples’ revolutionary unionism. The traditional unions that replicate the caste structure due to its hierarchical nature will only represent the interests of the minority leader class and not the workers themselves.

Its only through Anarcho-Syndicalism that we can achieve the threefold task of achieving progress in living and work standards, wages, expansion of reservation to compensate for the generational subjugation of dalit-bahujans in private and public sector, expanding the public sector that enables creation of new and greener jobs, progressive taxation and day-to-day struggles at workplaces; confronting the caste issue face to face as members of working class as well as part of oppressed communities through minority committees, along with local union branches to address caste at workplace and within the unions and; shedding away the elaborate etiquette of submission of this casteist society through rediscovering our instincts for self-initiative and direct action rather being dependent on this or that leader, the despot of tomorrow. This rediscovery and the development of this instinct and culture in the organized form within these alternative institutions form the essential ingredient of the society that shall replace the current disorder.

John R. McLane noted that, “since an individual’s obligations and privileges were specific to his or her family, jati, and age, universal standards of political-moral behavior rarely galvanized people into cooperative political effort.” Any intellectual current or form of practice that exclusively promote inward inquiry at cost of building broad solidarity of all oppressed while understanding the various inner relations in practice, unintentionally replicates the essential of the nation and Brahmanical order and play into hand of our enemies like in 2019 general election where Jadav-Yadav dynamic was a major determining factor in BJP’s victory. We do not wish to repeat these past mistakes, neither of the Marxist left that minimizes the importance of non-economic cultural and social factors at work and in society and address them within their organization and programs nor, of the narrow identity politics that in the long-run poses no threat to the status quo that it apparently wishes to destroy and has no space for broad solidarity based on shared needs and values in genuinely democratic and workers controlled organizations.

Revolutionary unionism is only one part of the struggle. Anarchists and other individuals must engage in cultural struggles towards elimination of the caste society. I cannot pretend to have a solution to this problem, I can only note that we know that the forces of alienation aggravates it and that we have a legacy of experiments by the people from dalit-bahujan castes to build upon and with anarchist emphasis on the abolition of marriage, dismantling the corporation of family and building a society based on free love and societal responsibility of child rearing, we have the impetus to motivate action in direction of liberation.

Caste being a particular configuration of hierarchy and the method of its reproduction, it finds affinity with all forms of dominations and latch on to the one it finds. While through the autonomous and varied cultural struggles and fighting back the class war as working class dealing with caste antagonism we make conditions better for both our class and dalit-bahujans, Anarchism is Brahmanisms only permanent solution. As long as there is a state or a economy based on private property, RSS has the possibility of achieving its desired position of the Raj Guru to the State. Following in the footsteps of the Saudra-attishudra Dakaits and their direct actions against capital and domination we organize not to end any particular form of authority but Rulership itself.

For a Casteless Society! – For Annihilation of Brahmanism! – For a Free Humanity!

For Anarchy!

"Shadows of History: Brahminical Influence and India's Struggle for Freedom"

Jai Bhim to all.

The conflict often mischaracterized as the initial struggle for independence against the British in 1857 was actually triggered by British violations of traditional Manu laws. This included punishment of Brahmins, erosion of Brahmin authority, and expanded opportunities in education and employment for Shudras.

In response, figures like Tantia Tope, a Konkani Brahmin, collaborated with other prominent Brahmins to strategize. With the nominal leadership of Bahadur Shah Jafar, figures like Nana Saheb, Jhansi Lakshmi Bai, and Sadashiba Rao Peshwa prepared for conflict.

The British, understanding the plot, suppressed the rebellion, targeting Brahmins and placing a bounty on their heads. Many Brahmins went underground, disguising themselves as ascetics or Babas (eg. Saibaba).

The introduction of the Indian Penal Code in 1860 marked a seismic shift, departing from Manu laws by instituting uniform punishment regardless of caste. The IPC now mandated death for resistance to British rule.

For years, Brahmins waited, wary of British reprisal, much like during Buddha and Ashoka's era and later in the 19th century.

By 1875, Dayananda Saraswati founded the Arya Samaj. Yet, Brahmins hesitated to act openly, fearing British retaliation.

In 1884, Bala Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, and Bipin Chandrapal founded Congress under the name Home Rule, appointing A.O. Hume as its first president.

Brahmins sought to temper British anger by signaling an alliance through Hume. Yet, the British saw through the ploy and dismissed it.

Later, Tilak assumed Congress presidency, realizing broader support was needed beyond Brahmins. He engaged with other community leaders, like Chhatrapati Sahu Maharaj and Mahatma Jyoti Rao Phule, but faced skepticism.

Phule's seminal work "Gulamgiri" underscored the need to challenge Brahminical dominance even before British departure. Phule's ideas galvanized the Mulnivasi, leading to skepticism of Brahmin leadership.

The Ganesh Nimajjana Utsav, initiated by Tilak, sought to unify Indians under Brahmin auspices, catalyzing support for independence.

Previously, Shivaji's festival was Maharashtra's primary celebration. Phule's unearthing of Shivaji's legacy highlighted Brahminical opposition to Shudra rule. Annual events like Bhima Koregaon served as reminders of Brahminical treachery.

Brahmins leveraged festivals like Ganesh Nimajjana to suppress their history of exploitation, fostering religious unity and support for their independence movement.

Through strategic propaganda, they recast Shivaji as a symbol of Hindu self-respect, obscuring their own antagonism towards Shudras and Mulnivasis, currently trending as Hindu-Muslim clashes in the name of Hindutva.

There's a lot of implications in Star Wars that this was the entire point of the Chosen One prophecy.

RotS novelization has a line where Obi-Wan says to Padme essentially that, yeah, Anakin might go to the Sith--he just needs to be sure that's what he wants. Because to Obi-Wan, he'd lose a brother, but Dooku left too, and Dooku still has honor and courage, Dooku is still a good person--people can walk away, that's a point in the novel.

Obi-Wan believes it. The rest of the Jedi?

Anakin doesn't mention his culture, but he doesn't wear Jedi robes either. No one seems to give a fuck that he started off a traumatized child, and no one has any qualms about sending him into combat...

Just like no one has qualms about sending clones, who are TEN YEARS OLD, into combat either.

Did you know that a child who's taken from their parents and raised in an orphanage without enough adults develops attachment disorders? The symptom list involves rigid, black-and-white thinking (Jedi or Sith, nothing else), emotional detachment (hey, don't worry about your still-enslaved mom! you're Not Supposed To Care!), serious interpersonal skills issues (they're wise and sagelike and everything they say actually is just weird when you translate it, like they've never interacted with real people), and a bunch of other stuff that isn't onscreen.

It's mentioned in the novelization that the Jedi were preparing to fight the last war the Sith and Jedi had. And that Yoda, especially, had supervised a lot of it.

Detachment, to the point of losing people and still being rigidly bound to an ideology...well, that sure is a great way to keep someone in the fight.

The Jedi religion basically had a bunch of very, very serious problems. Anakin Skywalker could have been anyone, but the point of the prequels--especially in the context of the original trilogy--is that the Sith were shit, but the Jedi were the main powerhouses...and so fucked up that it was time to start over.

It could've been peaceful. But Anakin was a former slave and a general in war and no one even mentions him getting therapy. In fact, the Jedi took Anakin from his culture and mother, and never bothered making sure his mother was safe or even mentioning his culture again.

When you have a religious order with weapons and military training committing crimes against humanity and putting child soldiers in combat, that is no longer a purely religious order. That is a political and military clusterfuck waiting to happen.

So Anakin and the clones slaughter the Jedi and do a damn thorough job. They spend the next two decades cleaning it up. Canonically, odds are they just pretended the Force didn't exist--in Episode IV, a senior Imperial openly doesn't believe in it, and no one has ever told Luke that the Force is a thing. It's a great way to get rid of the Jedi--who's gonna pick up a religion when they can't teach it?

Which means there's now two Sith--Sideous and Vader--and two Jedi: Obi-Wan and Yoda.

The Sith die. The Jedi die.

The remaining Padawans have just enough knowledge to manage to not blow themselves up. And that's it. Little to no theology, nothing that would repeat the war crimes...

Because 'balancing the Force' in this case means 'break down the prior Sith\Jedi dichotomy, and rebuild from the ground up'.

Luke gets christened the heir to the Jedi by Yoda, because he's got the moral compass to make it work. Ashoka has martial arts, Ezra has a bunch of organizational skills, Cal has enough institutional knowledge to say 'this isn't standard, but it works better'.

This is the point. The Force is balanced.

Because the Force doesn't have a bunch of people committing fucking war crimes in its name.

Technically speaking Cal is the only, living, Jedi who was officially knighted. Yoda implied Luke was a Jedi, but he never knighted him. And Ahsoka and Ezra were Padawan’s who never officially finished there training.

their collective teaching credentials are basically just "haha dude trust me I know what I'm doing for sure"

Top Tourist Places to Visit in Bihar | Best Attractions & Sightseeing Guide

Bihar, a state steeped in history and spirituality, offers a fascinating blend of ancient heritage and cultural experiences. Known as the land where Buddhism was born and Jainism thrived, Bihar is dotted with significant temples, historical landmarks, and natural beauty.

ODM Hosts East India's Largest Career Fair; Connects Students With 66 Global Universities

Bhubaneswar, Odisha — The world is coming together in the era of global connectivity that is shaping the future of education. Keeping the necessity of exposure as the core motive, ODM Educational Group has taken a pioneering step as it organised East India’s largest University Career Fair at ODM Public School in Bhubaneswar.

The fair, a cornerstone of ODM's ambitious College Connect Program, brought together an impressive array of 66 universities from seven countries, creating a bridge for students to acquire educational opportunities. As students from across Odisha and neighbouring states flooded the venue, the air was thick with anticipation and the promise of new pathways to pursue diverse careers of student’s choice.

Dr. SatyabrataMinaketan, the visionary Chairman of ODM Educational Group, surveyed the bustling fair. "This isn't just a career fair; it’s our student's gateway to the world," he said. The chairman added, “Our goal is to equip our students with the knowledge and resources necessary to make well-informed decisions about their academic and professional futures."

Stalls adorned with flags and banners from India, France, the United States, Canada, Italy, Australia, and Switzerland created a colourful amalgam of educational diversity. Representatives from prestigious institutions like Bocconi University in Italy and Colorado State University in the USA mingled with their counterparts from Indian powerhouse universities such as Ashoka University and OP Jindal Global University.

Amidst the sea of eager faces, students clutched brochures from various universities. Elina Shah, a student of ODM Global School, gushed, "I never imagined I'd have the world at my fingertips like this. Talking to these university representatives and counsellors has surged my view about the vast range of career options in the best way possible!"

The fair wasn't just about glossy brochures and impressive statistics. It was a diligently curated event designed to address the needs of today's students who think globally. Panel discussions on topics ranging from the impact of artificial intelligence on future job markets to the growing importance of interdisciplinary studies captivated the audience.

Harriet Coutinho Representing the University of Connecticut -USA struck a chord with many when she spoke about the changing face of education.  She emphasised, ‘Education is not an isolated matter anymore. Neither should schools, colleges or universities. Thus, this is an amazing collaborative measure to prepare students for career and a lifetime of adaptation and learning."

ODM's innovative approach extended beyond the fair itself. The integration of BridgeU, a cutting-edge university and career guidance platform, showcased the group's commitment to supporting students in selecting the right university, whether in India or abroad. This platform streamlines the college application process, providing students with comprehensive tools and resources.

However, the most striking aspect of the fair was the human touch. ODM's foresight in stationing trained global Career Counselors across its campuses in Angul, Durgapur, Ranchi, Gurgram, and Bhubaneswar was evident in the personalised guidance offered to the students at every turn. The insights into global education trends and local contexts helped the students align their aspirations with realistic pathways.

Workshops on application procedures saw students furiously taking notes, while mock interview sessions had them straightening their backs and practising ideal gestures for interview sessions. The fair also addressed the practical concerns of studying abroad. Representatives fielded questions about visa processes, while university admission advisors discussed scholarship opportunities and funding options.

SwoyanSatyendu, COO of ODM Educational Group, observed the scene with satisfaction and shared his vision for the future.  He said, "In a world where borders are increasingly blurred, initiatives like this fair are not just valuable but vital. These career fairs serve as bridges, connecting local talent with global opportunities, and in doing so, they reshape the future of education."

The successful organisation of the University Career Fair by ODM Educational Group has helped the students carve a pathway for their ambitions. It had done more than just connect students with universities; it had expanded horizons, challenged preconceptions, and ignited a passion for global learning.

About ODM Educational Group:

ODM Educational Group is a premier educational organisation that delivers holistic education that empowers students to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and competitive world. With six distinguished schools under its umbrella, the group strongly emphasises academic excellence, character development, and leadership skills. ODM Educational Group strives to cultivate responsible, future-ready global citizens equipped to lead with integrity and make meaningful contributions to society.

Tiranga Login Enhancing Security and Accessibility with a National Touch

In an era where digital security and user accessibility are paramount, the concept of a Tiranga Login emerges as a compelling solution that integrates national identity with modern authentication practices. This innovative login system not only enhances security but also celebrates and reinforces national pride through a distinctive design rooted in India’s national flag—the Tiranga. Here, we explore the multifaceted aspects of Tiranga Login, examining its significance, benefits, and potential impact on the digital landscape.

Concept and Significance

The Tiranga Login leverages the symbolism and recognition of India’s national flag to create a login system that resonates with users on a cultural level. The Tiranga, comprising saffron, white, and green stripes along with the Ashoka Chakra, symbolizes the values of courage, peace, and unity. By incorporating these elements into the login process, Tiranga Login aims to infuse a sense of national pride and identity into the everyday act of accessing digital platforms.

This approach is not merely about aesthetics; it is also about making users feel a stronger connection to their national heritage every time they log in. The Tiranga Login system uses the flag’s colors and symbols to create a unique and memorable user interface. This can be particularly effective in contexts where fostering a sense of national unity and pride is important, such as government portals, educational institutions, and national organizations.

Enhanced Security Features

Security is a critical concern in the digital age, and the Tiranga Login system addresses this by integrating advanced authentication mechanisms. While the visual elements of the Tiranga provide a cultural touch, the underlying technology ensures robust security. This includes multi-factor authentication (MFA), biometric verification, and encryption protocols that safeguard user information.

1. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): The Tiranga Login incorporates MFA to enhance security. Users must provide multiple forms of verification—such as a password combined with a one-time code sent to their mobile device. This extra layer of protection significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

2. Biometric Verification: To further bolster security, the system may include biometric features such as fingerprint recognition or facial recognition. This technology ensures that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information, aligning with the Tiranga Login’s commitment to safeguarding user data.

3. Encryption Protocols: The login system employs state-of-the-art encryption techniques to protect data during transmission. This means that even if data is intercepted, it remains unreadable to unauthorized parties.

User Experience and Accessibility

One of the core strengths of the Tiranga Login is its focus on user experience and accessibility. The system is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring that individuals of all technological proficiency levels can navigate the login process with ease.

1. Intuitive Design: The visual integration of the Tiranga’s colors and symbols provides a visually appealing and recognizable interface. This design approach not only enhances the user experience but also reinforces the national theme, making the login process more engaging.

2. Accessibility Features: To accommodate users with disabilities, the Tiranga Login system includes features such as screen reader compatibility and customizable text sizes. This ensures that the login process is inclusive and accessible to all users.

Impact and Future Prospects

The introduction of Tiranga Login has the potential to set a new standard in digital security and national engagement. By combining state-of-the-art authentication technologies with a culturally significant design, the system creates a unique intersection of security and identity. It serves as a model for how national symbols can be integrated into modern technological solutions, fostering a deeper connection between users and their digital environments.

In conclusion, the Tiranga Login represents a forward-thinking approach to digital security and user engagement. By merging the symbolic power of India’s national flag with advanced authentication technologies, it provides a secure, culturally resonant, and user-friendly login experience. As digital security continues to evolve, the Tiranga Login stands as a testament to the potential for national symbols to enhance both technological functionality and cultural pride.
