So…one of my favourite headcanons is that the Potter family are Indian. (Those of you who’ve read my Grindeldore/Wolfstar dancer fic might recall that Fleamont Potter, James’ father and the UK Prime Minister, is Indian in that. Funnily enough, our real life Prime Minister is a British Indian Hindu who became PM last year. On Diwali. Yeah, that was an…interesting day in the family. Still not entirely sure how I feel about it.)

Anyway - here are some headcanons about James Potter being Indian, some of which are based around how I actually grew up. (Note: there will probably be more as I think of them!):

When Holi comes around, James wakes the others up by pelting them with coloured powder. He does it every year and every year they fall for it. They also pelt everyone with coloured powder throughout the holiday. It took weeks for the paint to be cleaned fully. (Some people suspected Dumbledore deliberately let it stay like that because he liked the colours.)

Sirius got really angry the first time he heard someone call James a Paki. He doesn’t know what it means, but he never wants to see that look on James’ face again. He absolutely lost it when James told him what it meant. (For those of you who don’t know what it means, it’s an incredibly racist slur towards south Asians; along similar lines of using the n-word to a black person. This is also why James gets so angry whenever anyone uses the word Mudblood - because he knows how that shit feels.)

Sirius helps James create magical rangoli patterns during Diwali. They also take over the kitchen for an evening trying to make Indian sweets. The results are mixed-looking, but they all taste good, and the house elves get some great new dishes.

Every time a festival falls on a full moon, they always celebrate a few days after so Remus can join in. (He hugely appreciates the sweets.)

James initially wasn’t thrilled that his Animagus form is a stag, since a deer is the form one of the bad guys took in the Ramayana when he triggered the events that led to Rama’s wife being kidnapped.

When James’ father died, he had a traditional Hindu funeral. Traditionally, the eldest son leads the proceedings, but when James broke down, Sirius stepped in to continue. In that moment, James loved Sirius more than he could put into words.

James also taught the Marauders some Hindi so they could talk privately, as well as some Indian magic.

James, Lily and Sirius actually go to india for their wedding outfits. Lily also has magical mendhi patterns done by James’ aunts and cousins. James also had to gently explain to Lily that wearing white is associated with funerals.

Petunia showed up to James and Lily’s wedding in a white dress to try and upstage the bride. She’s very confused to realise a) Lily is not wearing white, and b) a lot of James’ relatives are looking at her weirdly, because she’s wearing a funeral colour.

At James and Lily’s engagement party, James’ aunties kept trying to set Sirius up with their daughters and teasing him about getting married. They shut up when Sirius snogged Remus in front of everyone. James wasn’t even mad that his engagement was briefly upstaged.

James has a book of Indian tales and legends passed down from his father. He read them to Harry at bedtime. Lily would smile and watch from the doorway. He also taught his friends some classic Indian songs to sing to Harry.

Every year on Raksha Bandhan, James ties a rakhi on Sirius’ wrist and charms them so they’ll never come undone. One night, Sirius noticed the threads of one of them coming loose. That night was October 31st, 1981.

Historical Finnish and Indo-Iranian connection?

Yes!

Vajra, Sanskrit for "thunderbolt", is the weapon Indra, the thunder god in Hinduism. In Finnish mythology, the thunder god Ukko's weapon is a hammer or an axe, referred to as vasara or vaaja. Both words have the same origin as the word vajra.

In Finnish mythology, the sky is being held up by a pillar called sammas, which connects to the Polar Star and spins the sky dome. The word's origin is in the Proto-Indo-Iranian word *stámbʰHas, meaning pillar. The words for pillar in Sanskrit, Hindi and other related languages (stambha, stambh, etc) are also of the same origin.

And finally, the Finnish harvest festival and original new years celebration is known as kekri (plus other dialectical varians of the same word). The word originates from the Proto-Indo-Iranian *ḱekrám (later*čakrám), meaning "wheel". I guess it makes sense, considering that people's view of time used to be cyclical instead of linear. A year is but another cycle in time. (The cycle of seasons meaning also exists in later Sanskrit descendants of the word.)

An old image of a monk serving food to Muslims has resurfaced in social media posts that falsely claimed it shows a Hindu priest who was killed by Islamists during the recent unrest in Bangladesh. AFP previously debunked false claims with the same image and identified the monk, while his religious organisation confirmed the photo was taken in India.

"Swami Nitai Das Ji Swami of ISKCON temple in Bangladesh... he organised Iftar for Muslims in the temple for 30 days. The same Muslims burned the temple down and killed the swami," read the Hindi-language claim shared on Facebook on August 7.

Iftar is a meal taken by Muslims to break their fast during the holy month of Ramadan.

The photo shows a monk serving food to a number of men wearing traditional Muslim dress.

There have been multiple reports of violence against religious minorities in Bangladesh since prime minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted on August 5 following protests led by university students.

More than 450 people were killed during the protests that ultimately led Hasina to flee the country, AFP reported (archived link).

Rights groups and diplomats in Bangladesh have since raised concerns over reports of attacks on minorities. The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council said at least 10 Hindu temples have been attacked by "miscreants", AFP reported.

The image of the monk was shared with similar claims elsewhere on Facebook here and on social media platform X here.

But the photo, circulating online since 2016, does not show a Hindu priest killed in Bangladesh.

Photo from India

AFP previously debunked the photo in 2021 when it circulated online with a similar claim, after deadly violence in Bangladesh over the desecration of the Quran during a Hindu religious festival.

Combined reverse image and keyword searches on Google found the photo published in an article by UCA News on July 4, 2016 (archived link).

The headline reads: "Hindu group hosts fast breaking event for Muslims."

The caption with the photo mentions the event was held at an International Society for Krishna Consciousness temple in Mayapur, a neighbourhood in Nadia district of eastern West Bengal state (archived link).

Below is a screenshot comparison of the image in the false post (left) and the picture shared in the 2016 article (right):

Yudhistir Govinda Das, ISKCON's communications director in India, told AFP in November 2021 that the photo was taken in West Bengal.

Das identified the monk pictured as Ivan Antić, also known as Chaitanya Nitai Das, an ISKCON devotee from Croatia.

AFP in 2021 also contacted Antić, who confirmed he was the monk in the photo.
