Hindus should turn Atheist, to save India. via /r/atheism

Submitted June 26, 2020 at 04:56AM by Sankha_69 (Via reddit https://ift.tt/31mkUkb) Hindus should turn Atheist, to save India.

I am an Indian Bengali atheist , born in a Hindu family. I did not turn atheist , I was born an atheist.

From very childhood I was not at all attracted to the rituals, as it was huge waste of money. Whenever I questioned the rituals I was insulted , my parents said to me,” you are just a child , you know nothing about religion, you don’t know the importance of god, many great men believe in god so you must too, you have become arrogant , why are we even sending you to school. Look at your nephews and nieces they believe in god and they are better in academics than you , you will just remain a low-life farmer while they will become sucessful people, blaaah blaaah blaaaah.......” .

When the Pandits(males) arrive to start the puja(ceremony) the women of the house have to was his feet, which is very misognistic. Apart from personal pujas at home there are community pujas also , too many community pujas take place in a small area and the money have to be given by common people , if anyone dosen’t give they are harassed. They are too many pujas also , in hinduism , as there are too many gods in Hinduism. After the puja ends , the idols are immersed in holy water sources , as there are too many pujas many times blood is drawn between different groups as to who will do the immersion first. During the immersion ceremony , large processions are taken out which literally fucks up the traffic along with very loud DJ sounds in the open streets , 8 to 10 processions per day for almost 3 to 5 days in a single area , say good bye to the Old and the heart patients. Unnecessary bursting of fire crackers at an un precedented scale adding to more sound pollution and air pollution. The large cases of sexual harrasment , rapes during such processions is mind boggling. So much for imaginary super heroes who were not there to protect us from the Islamic invasion.

On every Saraswati (Hindu Godess of Education) Puja my parents would force me to give anjali( divine offering) to Saraswati , so that I can get good marks in Mathematics but every time I scored poor in Mathematics. Yes I got better in maths from class 9 , when I got a teacher who made me fall in love with maths , apart from syllabus text books I also solved many olympiads , out of syllabus text books, instead of memorizing case studies , formulas I learnt general problem solving skills. The sad part is all the credits was taken by goddess saraswati.

When I grew up ,the seeds of Atheism grew big , as I came to know about the obvious social evils of Hinduism . I will describe them elaborately but first I would like to say some thing about it.

Hinduism is very much like Islam , just polytheistic. Hindus are not more liberal than Muslims or Christians . the problem is Hinduism is not a proper religion founded by someone, so Hindus are not united and community driven ,fueled by religion to spread their religious dominance across the world .Hindus of one part do not feel for Hindus of another part , that’s why they got so easily banged by the muslims and christians .Hinduism is a collection of scriptures – veds, purans, upanishads and practices – rituals , yoga , ayurved, many of which have already been corrupted by the majority upper caste Bramhins and Kshatriyas to consolidate their social dominance over women and lower caste people , even before Judaism, Islam and Christanity were born. When the muslims invaded India they called the people of Indian Subcontinent Hindus( persian word which means – people of the Sindhu river) , at that time in Different parts of India different sects of people( Marathis, Gujaratis, Bengalis, Tamils, Shikhs, Kashmiris, Rajputs) worshipped different vedic gods in different ways , each region had a prime god of worship, these different sects did not go well along with each other , even between their own sects they were divided into many kingdoms. Now when the british planned to conquer india they were not so effective in countering the muslims , as muslims tends to be more community oriented, will do anything to save islam and they also had support of many hindu rulers. The British divised an ingenious plan , they divided the Hindus and Muslims by giving an identity to the Hindu rulers that all Hindu rulers of Indian subcontinent belong to an original, ancient, prosperous , common, vedic religion of India called Hinduism and that the muslims had looted them, destroyed their temples, thus Hinduism was born.

Now the many social evils of Hinduism-

Misogny – Hindus worship a menstruating woman – Kali, Girl childs are worshipped as Goddess but when they grow up they are not allowed to enter the main shrine of temples as they are of menstruating age. Menstruating girls are considered as impure. What hipocrisy.

Female Infanticide(banned by British) – Killing of girl childs by immersing them in milk and playing a band during the process to supress the voice of the dying child. Girls were married along with huge amount of money and gold , that’s why girls were seen as a burden on family , so they were killed . It led to one of the most serious crisis in Indian society , for every 1 girl there are 10 to 15 boys . This led to rise in rape cases , in many rural areas 4-5 brothers married 1 girl. Modern Hindus still dosen’t accept this, their excuse- it is not in the vedas , so only few people did it.

3.Sati(Banned by British ) – Buring alive of young widowed girls along with their dead husbands. Raja Ram Mohan Roy during Bengali Hindu Renassaince championed this cause and got it banned with the help of British. Ishwar Chandra Vidya Sagar another Bengali revolutionary started widow remarriage . All these were met with huge dissent from the hindus . Modern Hindus , especially of North India denies it and hates Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Ishwar Chandra Vidya Sagar and call them British dogs , their reason , well you already know what it is.

DevDasi System(Banned)- The aristrocratic temple priests used to run brothels inside the temples . The most beautiful Hindu girls chosen to dance before god and then sexually exploited by the Kshatriyas and Bramhans.

5.Breast Tax(Banned by British) – The lower caste women were not allowed to cover up their breast, the upper caste men had the right to touch their boobs any time for pleasure. This happened mostly in south India. Those who wanted to cover up would have to pay a heavy tax depending on the size and weight of their breast and it was measured by aristocratic men lifting it by hands. Things changed when a woman covered her breast and when the men came for the tax , she cut her breast and gave it to them . After that a huge revolution started and it got banned.

6.Caste System- This is the most pathetic problem in Modern Indian Hindu Society . The Bramhans and Kshatriyas had all the privileges – education , money , even drinking water and food . The shudras – dalits are seen as lower caste they didn’t have any rights. Their only duty is to serve the uppercaste . They were economically , physically, sexually exploited for thousands of years , starting from the Vedic civilization. Those who rose against the upper caste are killed in the name of god.

Honour Killing – If a Upper Caste girl marries a Lower Caste boy , the girl’s family kills both of them by hiring murderers. There are still a special type of injustice system in many rural areas called Khap court , where the girl is gangraped by the men of whole village on charges of eloping. Again don’t be surprised if Indian Redditors denies it.

8.Economic exploitation – A large amount of social welfare money are wasted by all levels of Indian goverment in organising festivals for appeasement politics , that’s why development work is so slow in India.( Same is true for Muslims and Christians), bcoz Indians put religion above development and then cry when China bangs India from the front . Earlier also Bramhins and Kshatriyas fooled people to keep money in temples , saying god will protect them and then later looted the money .

Indian War of Independence – Yes , this might come as a surprise , but it’s true. The cancer of religion is so deep rooted in India that no Cultural and Scientific Revolution took place in India like Europe , America , China. What the common people will do was decided by their masters. Now the British favoured the masters , the british protected them against people’s discontent and rivals , in return they will be under british rule and supply everything the british needs. The masters enjoyed huge luxuries till they are British puppies. Problem arised when the British started interfering with the religious beliefs of the masters . Actual freedom fighters(Gandhi , Nehru) saw this as a chance and joined hands with the treacherous masters , now they have the support of whole India to overthrow the british. So the Indian independence was never a true one , the people never fought for real development and rule of homeland rather they just wanted to stop the british from interfering in people’s religious matters , which of course were the social evils I mentioned above. Basically we traded one oppressor for another.

10.Psuedo Science – This topic is vast , there are innumerable examples. Hindus always insisting areoplanes, internet , nuclear missiles were invented during the Vedic ages. The wooden scriptures are still ok to this day but their aeroplane , missile factories dissapeared , I don’t know how ? Cow urine can cure cancer, corona .

You see why I mentioned the “Banned practices “ is bcoz it was banned by the British. The British didn’t touch the Caste System and it is still there. Had the British not banned the others , they would also have existed to this day. The cancer of religion is destroying India.

Slimming Without Stepping Out Of Your Home!

Today the dreaded Corona pandemic means, our safety lies in staying confined to our homes, at least for the next few weeks, possibly a few months, till the pandemic is controlled.

But the health of millions of overweight people across the globe also depends upon their losing or not losing weight in not too distant future! Some may be threatened more than others! Some may be looking to lose weight for personal reasons like an upcoming event like their own wedding or a one in their close family.

But what choices do they have under the life-threatening pandemic of Coronavirus?

Even the heavily advertised commercial slimming programs, including gyms, selling highly questionable treatments also require you to go over to their premises, which you can hardly risk now!

My ‘Distance Program’ is finely tuned to help people all over the world, get slim and healthy, for over three and a half decades now, with or without meeting me personally or stepping out of home, with equal felicity!

Pune people naturally meet me more often than those abroad or from other towns in India, but a few never do, like a middle-aged Marathi lady from Hyderabad, who lost an amazing twenty-five kg, without ever meeting me! A young man in Frankfurt, originally from Satara, now a German citizen, lost sixteen kg to protect himself from a strong family history of diabetes from catching up with him, met me for the first time only after losing twelve kg when he visited home to India for his annual vacation in July!

This means that if you want to lose weight with a degree of urgency in these difficult times, then it is best that you take a treatment that is completely consultation based and which can be executed completely without leaving the safety of your home.

That is exactly how my ‘Distance Program’ is designed. The entire treatment is manageable online and on video or audio calls, without having either to meet me in person or to step out of your home even for walks!

People invariably contact me by calling or mail or by using the ‘Make A Quick Inquiry’ or the ‘Feedback’ form on my website, some with a word of mouth reference, some finding me on Google.

People from Pune meet me for a free initial inquiry visit after I mail them the basic information and the process of the treatment and a few links of some important pages on the website. People outside Pune and India, join without the benefit of this visit, with only a voice call for more inquiry.

But now we are replacing this personal visit with a video call for everyone who wishes to learn everything about the treatment, till the Corona pandemic threat continues.

The ‘Distance Program’ treatment essentially revolves around planning and helping you to adopt a healthy lifestyle including a healthy nutritional plan based on your own, normal, everyday food and exercise as simple as walking or spot marching or jogging depending upon your age and fitness. We can also use a cardiovascular exercise machine like a treadmill or an elliptical trainer or an exercise bike if you have one at home. This means you don’t have to step out of the safety of your home even for exercise!

There is no starving under bogus slimming machines, medicines, meal replacement shakes or magic diets, no painful workout and protein supplements, no psychological torture involved!

Once the treatment is planned, people under my care all over the world, tell me every day exactly what they have eaten, how much water they have consumed and how much and which exercise they have taken and also its intensity, thanks to modern-day tools of communication and measurement of exercise. People report daily and receive daily advice from me, based on their daily reports.

This excellent system of daily reports and advice, ensures proper execution of the program of every person under my care, dramatically improving results!

Those who are completely satisfied with the full information about the treatment can join the treatment online. Further treatment can proceed completely online!

So, if you wish to start the treatment urgently without waiting for the threat of Corona to get over, without leaving the safety of your home, you can safely join my ‘Distance Program’!

I can guarantee absolutely safe and healthy slimming very much at your home, anywhere in the world!

Call or write to me for more information and to set up a video call for directly talking to me.

Visit the ‘Testimonial’, the ‘Doctors Recommend Us’, the ‘Distance Program’ and the ‘Contact Us’ pages on this website for more information.

Share Market Basics: What is the stock market? How much is the stock market? And why 'broker'?

Many misconceptions about the stock market are in the minds of many and it is natural to have them. The stock market is a tool to make a lot of money, the stock market is a gamble, the stock market is a game of the rich, and the stock market is a tool to drown money, and so on. However, the stock market is a vast ocean and can be a great investment option. Those who want to study hard and who have the qualities of patience and perseverance will succeed here.

The attraction of the stock market has increased in the last one and a half years. During the Corona period, many have experienced stock market ups and downs in lockdown. Meanwhile, more than one crore demat accounts were opened in India. After an initial decline in the Corona period, the stock market recovered in a 'V shape'. This performance was experienced not only in the Indian stock market but also in major stock markets in all countries of the world. This one-sided boom is still going on and this has to be called a big 'bull run'. All beginners in the market and all investors who have not studied the stock market need to be fully acquainted. From here, things get trickier, and this is where the true meaning of stock comes in! Let's learn some basic concepts of the market in simple and understandable language and introduce ourselves as mature investors.

What is a share?

Shares are equities. Share is an English word. Shares are also called stocks. The total share capital of the company is divided into several shares. Each share is a share. Being a shareholder means you are partly the owner of the company. You can buy and sell these shares from your broker through the stock exchange. The company needs more funding for its expansion. This fund was raised from the market I. P. O. (Initial Public Offer).

What is a stock exchange?

The medium through which shares are bought and sold is called the stock exchange. India has two exchanges, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Companies listed on one or both of these exchanges are what we call 'listings'. Their shares are bought and sold through a broker. Listed companies and stock exchanges are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). SEBI was created by the Government of India to protect the interests of investors.

What is the market time?

From Monday to Friday (excluding holidays) the market starts at 9 am and closes at 3.30 pm. The pre-opening session is from 9 am to 9.08 am in which the index is adjusted from yesterday's closing position and the same is the opening index. Transactions start at 9.15 am and close at 3.30 pm. Intraday transactions stop at 3.15 pm.

Who is a stockbroker?

A stockbroker is a link between a stock exchange and a shareholder. Shares are bought and sold. The broker charges a commission for this transaction. The broker must have your demat account for buying and selling shares. An authorized PAN cardholder can start buying and selling shares by opening his demat account with any broker. For this, you have to deposit money in the broker's account from your bank account linked to the demat account. This amount can be deposited online through internet banking or UPI. The demat account can be started by installing the official share broker's mobile app and completing the required documents online.

What is brokerage?

The commission that is charged on the shares you buy and sell is called brokerage. The rate of this brokerage varies according to the trade of Delivery / Intra Day / Options.

The campaign aimed at felicitating Corona Warriors across the nation.

 A civil suit has been filed by Ankur Jain, director of All About Ads Private Limited, before the Commercial Court at Mizapur, Ahmedabad and sought damages to the tune of Rs 9.5 crore along with seeking a restrain on Divya Bhaskar from publishing the contentious ad campaign.

 Apart from Divya Bhaskar (Dainik Bhaskar Group), its Chief Executive Officer Sanjeev Chauhan and Managing Directors Girish Agarwal and Sudhir Agarwal have also been named in the suit. The media house’s Brand Head Amit Rathod and Eight Petals Creative Solution Private Limited have also been added as defendants in the suit.

 Divya Bhaskar is a leading Gujarati newspaper in Gujarat owned by D B Corp Ltd. It has one of the highest circulation of Gujarati dailies, with the most number of editions in Gujarat. The Dainik Bhaskar Group started its Hindi newspaper Dainik Bhaskar in Bhopal in 1958. Later, it launched its Indore edition in 1983. Today, Dainik Bhaskar Group is present in 12 states with 65 editions in Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati.

 Mr Ankur Jain’s advocate, Dr Sarvam Khare, said that the civil court issued summons - notice to Dainik Bhaskar Group on September 19. The civil suit is kept for hearing on October 1.

 All About Ads has also filed a criminal case before the magistrate court at Mizapur, Ahmedabad which was heard on September 7. “As per the directions of the magistrate, the police have recorded my statement,” said Mr Ankur Jain.

 It is pertinent to note that Intellectual Property Rights of plaintiffs are recognized by the Event Management Federation.

 Details from the plaint

 In April, plaintiff created the project “Desh Ke Hero” for the GoI as a national campaign to facilitate honouring of Corona Warriors, wherein merchandise and certificates were to be presented to the awardees. This project was created in the form of literary script, dramatic, artistic and visual work presentation under title “Desh Ke Hero” which qualifies to be original literary, artistic and dramatic work within the meaning of Section 2(y) of the Copyright Act 1957.

 The campaign was proposed to the GoI and was first published by the plaintiff on April 11, 2020.

 Mr Ankur Jain, who started from a one-room office in Ahmedabad, Gujarat in 2010-11, has worked for various MNCs, BJP and GoI, including on the ‘Fir ek baar Modi Sarkar’ campaign for 2019 the Lok Sabha election. He said, “My team and I worked really hard for ‘Desh ke Hero’ campaign and it was wrong on the part of Divya Bhaskar to steal the concept and showcase ‘Gujarat Hero’ campaign as theirs.”

 The plagiarism

 Mr Ankur Jain, who has known Mr Amit Rathod (Brand Head, Divya Bhaskar) since 2013 as they have worked together commercially on several campaigns created by the plaintiff, shared his work with the latter in good faith for his feedback and review.

 Dr Khare, said that the shared work bore a “specific DISCLAIMER at the end which specified that the information contained in the presentation was privileged and that the entire presentation was the property of the plaintiffs.” Mr Amit Rathod, not only breached the trust, but also infringed the plaintiffs’ copyright by sharing the campaign work with Sanjeev Chauhan, CEO, Divya Bhaskar.

 On July 31, 2020, Mr Ankur Jain learnt that the defendants had reproduced his work and put their name on another campaign titled “Gujarat Hero”.

 On confrontation, Mr Amit Rathod admitted that he had made a mistake and that he will discuss this with his editor. On August 1, 2020, Mr Ankur Jain, Mr Amit Rathod and Mr Sanjeev Chauhan had a telephonic conversation. Later, Mr Amit Rathod also sent a WhatsApp message to Mr Ankur Jain apologizing for the incident. The transcripts of all the calls and a screenshot of the message have been annexed with the plaint before the civil court.

 Fraud with the Gujarat Government

The Plaintiffs have utmost belief that Gujarat government would not have supported or contributed in their campaign “Gujarat Hero” if it was aware that the defendants have committed theft of the intellectual property of plaintiffs; and have misappropriated their confidential data. The defendants also suppressed the fact from the Gujarat Government that the plaintiffs were in talks with the GoI for the release of the campaign “Desh Ke Hero”.

 The plaintiffs have issued a legal notice to the defendants on August 5, 2020. Also, an intimation letter has been sent to Mr Ashwini Kumar (Secretary to Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat) giving details of the dispute and the illegality committed by Dainik Bhaskar Group.

  Prayers in the plaint

 The plaintiffs have sought that the defendants be restrained from using their campaign “Gujarat Hero”. It is further sought that the court declare that the campaign “Gujarat Hero” is a work of copyright infringement and plagiarism of the plaintiffs’ campaign “Desh Ke Hero”. The plaint also prays that the defendants be ordered to destroy all the material prepared for “Gujarat Hero” campaign and the domain www.gujarathero.com.

 Details from the plaint

 In April, plaintiff created the project “Desh Ke Hero” for the GoI as a national campaign to facilitate honouring of Corona Warriors, wherein merchandise and certificates were to be presented to the awardees. This project was created in the form of literary script, dramatic, artistic and visual work presentation under title “Desh Ke Hero” which qualifies to be original literary, artistic and dramatic work within the meaning of Section 2(y) of the Copyright Act 1957.

 The campaign was proposed to the GoI and was first published by the plaintiff on April 11, 2020.

He said, “My team and I worked really hard for ‘Desh ke Hero’ campaign and it was wrong on the part of Divya Bhaskar to steal the concept and showcase ‘Gujarat Hero’ campaign as theirs.”

 The plagiarism

 Mr Ankur Jain, who has known Mr Amit Rathod (Brand Head, Divya Bhaskar) since 2013 as they have worked together commercially on several campaigns created by the plaintiff, shared his work with the latter in good faith for his feedback and review.

 Dr Khare, said that the shared work bore a “specific DISCLAIMER at the end which specified that the information contained in the presentation was privileged and that the entire presentation was the property of the plaintiffs.” Mr Amit Rathod, not only breached the trust, but also infringed the plaintiffs’ copyright by sharing the campaign work with Sanjeev Chauhan, CEO, Divya Bhaskar.

The defendants also suppressed the fact from the Gujarat Government that the plaintiffs were in talks with the GoI for the release of the campaign “Desh Ke Hero”.

 The plaintiffs have issued a legal notice to the defendants on August 5, 2020. Also, an intimation letter has been sent to Mr Ashwini Kumar (Secretary to Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat) giving details of the dispute and the illegality committed by Dainik Bhaskar Group.

  Prayers in the plaint

A cropped video of CM Uddhav Thackeray is viral with a misleading claim.

Yet another case of "नरो वा कुजरों वा". Like many times before, another complete speech is trimmed and smaller trimmed video clip is made viral to change the meaning of the entire speech. A speech of Maharsatra CM Uddhav Thackrey about Coronavirus Lockdown has been cut in the end and made viral on communal lines, changing the context from original speech. On 24th May, ABP Marathi channel uploaded a 5 minute segment of a video uploaded by YouTube channel of Shiv Sena in which CM Uddhav Thackeray is addressing the people of Maharashtra regarding the entire covid pandemic situation as well as urges people to comply with rules and lockdown.  A short segment of the same video has become viral on social media with misleading claims. CLAIM A video of CM Uddhav Thackeray has gone viral with the claim he asked christian missionaries to pray to Lord Jesus to end this covid pandemic. This 21 minutes video clip has gone viral with different captions. In the clip he is saying "Christians pray to Jesus Christ, and everyone pray that as soon as possible we can destroy the crisis that has engulfed this world and let us live a happy and healthy life again! Jai hind! Jai Maharashtra!"

The claim is misleading. CM Uddhav Thackeray in his address asked not only Christians but people of all religious faiths to pray to their Gods. On 24th May the youtube channel of Shiv Sena uploaded a video of CM Uddhav Thackeray where he addressed the citizens of Maharashtra regarding the covid pandemic and lockdown. He urged people to wear masks and carry sanitizers. He also acknowleged the hardwork of doctors and nurses. In the 43:30 minutes long video, towards the end of the video (43:00 minutes) CM says,"everyone pray to your god, Muslims to Allah, Christians to Jesus, and everyone pray that as soon as possible we can destroy the crisis that has engulfed this world and let us live a happy and healthy life again.

The twitter handle of CM also tweeted regarding the address and in the tweet people of all faiths have been mentioned. https://twitter.com/CMOMaharashtra/status/1264521527497654273?s=20 Hence the video is being shared with misleading claim that CM urged only people of a particular community to pray to their God.
