Happy National Coming Out Day from your usual queerdo, bi the way. I love spending relaxed moments at my favorite place and yeah this sign of no smoking and vaping is a sober vibe for me for sure. Love you all as always. :D

Racists are so funny with their "100 years ago your family probably lived in mud houses" meanwhile 100 years ago my great grand father went to the uk to get his law degree while yours worked on a farm in Kansas

No hate to farmers btw, please read the tags

You moids should stop forcing Bengalis to not have non-veg cause according to you, it's a sin! For you it may be Navratri, but for us it's Durga Puja and we have meat during Durga Puja.

Fuck your hinduism, my hinduism taught me how to be free as a woman. My hinduism taught me to be my own Lakshmi, my own Saraswati, my own Kali. My hinduism taught me to have freedom to be educated, to be financially independent and to be self-defensive. Your hinduism taught you how to control us, women, and be dominating. You can celebrate Navratri but you don't waste your day in selling your daughter to some stranger instead of sending her to school. You can worship goddesses but you're helpless when your own daughter gets raped, harassed, abused or you rape and harass a girl or a woman. You can worship a goddess when you don't even know that rape has been common since the Vedic period! You are hypocrites and defenseless! Forget about the sadhus from the very old era-- these new sadhus, from this era, are hypocrites and rapists! Y'all only know how to defend your misogynistic hinduism without gaining any proper knowledge! The caste system, sato, dowry; that was your hinduism, not mine!

My hinduism taught me not to be docile and submissive to you, moids. Even if I don't wear the ghunghat, I'll make sure to toss it away when you force me. If you abuse me, I'll abuse you back, because I know I'm stronger than you.

Yes, I'll eat non-veg in Durga Puja and Diwali.

Yes, I refuse to celebrate Karwa Chauth because I'm not from your misogynistic culture.

Yes, I'll talk back even if you restraint me.

Yes, I'll wear anything I want.

Yes, I refuse to cover my head with ghunghat.

And yes, I'll do everything you've restricted me to.

Because I'm not your submissive and docile girl. I am a woman.

So, Fuck you and your hinduism!

Omfg I am DIEING

Don’t read the whole post if you don’t want to be sad

Good news: Found these under our car when we were coming back to our village and took them in for a while.

Bad news: we already have a dog, one cat and three newborn pups and kittens each so we can’t keep them. Unfortunately we MUST set them loose in the market since no one would take them in. Also our village doesn’t have pet centers.

Currently going through the five stages of grief in the car and again after they are gone.

This is my mom's Hometown and my favorite place to go. It's a very small village but it's very beautiful and for me it's the most peaceful place✨️😌.

i am very intrigued by this conversation. are they talking about caste as in the varna system that's rooted in Hinduism? because if so, this conversation has way greater implications than that on the surface.

despite what the internet and the majority of upper caste hindu diaspora will tell you, varna system is an evil that's still very prevalent in the hindu culture which in turn is the cause of systematic oppression, socioeconomic inequality & a lot of bigotry that exists in india (e.g. contrary to popular beliefs, colourism predates colonialism in india and stems from various hindu/brahmanical scriptures)

anyways, went a little off-track there, coming back to the show. according to the caste system there are different varnas of social hierarchy.

brahmins, kshatriyas, & vaishyas are considered to be aryans and shudras & dalits are non-aryans and are treated to be as low-caste untouchables, are not allowed in places of worship, and are not allowed to rise above the power of the aryans, who have profited off this exploitation for thousands of years.

now, the refusal of boon (whom im assuming to be a priest, i.e. brahmin) to let katha meet chan (who has been titled a magician/god by the villagers) and not letting him enter the ashram (aka the place of worship of chan) reeks of this social hierarchy.

when katha counters, boon again dismisses him and by that he shows his unfound entitlement and emphasises on his apparent superiority to katha. (are you certain he would think you more special than i?)

because according to the varna system, the aryans are the ones who are blessed by gods for their apparent good deeds in the past life, whereas non-aryans are being punished (this is from where the bigoted concept of karma comes from in hinduism).

it is considered to be the duty of the aryans to uphold this varna system to ensure 'justice', which is what boon here seems to be doing and this hierarchy is again emphasized in the last frame when you see boon looking down upon katha.

im not really sure if that's what's the intention is here, and what the caste system means in Thailand, but if hinduism (and it's influence in Buddhism) is anything to go by, it adds not only more layers to this conversation but also who actually Dome is, of he is indeed a God.

Musings:

Sufi × Desi. Nothing else needs to be said. I first heard another iteration of this classic song at Global Village in Dubai. There were performances in the Pakistan Pavilion and they finished their show to this song. Transfixed is the word. The music and their coordinated Sufi dance, the costumes and the feel of the crowd. Even though just the song remains without all these other entrapments, I'm still transfixed.
