🚩🚫🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 🌙 1. **Ras Leela with married women** Bhagavata Purana 10.33.27 Krishna danced with married Gopis in the forest at night. Even though they left their husbands, the scripture says: Whatever Krishna does is pure, even if He plays with others’ wives. 🛑 Normalizes adultery under divine excuse. 🩲 2. **Stealing clothes and watching girls naked** Bhagavata Purana 10.22.1 to 10.22.28 Krishna hides the clothes of young bathing girls, climbs a tree, and watches them come out of the river **naked with hands raised**. He says it’s a test of their devotion. 😳 Highly inappropriate by any ethical standard. 💍 3. **Sex with 16,000 women** Bhagavata Purana 10.59.42 After killing Narakasura, Krishna takes 16,000 captive women as wives. He is said to live with them all by creating multiple forms of himself. ⚠️ Glorifies mass polygamy and male domination. 🧈 4. **Stealing butter and lying about it** Bhagavata Purana 10.8 to 10.11 Krishna frequently steals butter from villagers and breaks their pots. Even when caught, he lies and charms his way out. 😂 Presented as playful, but glorifies theft and dishonesty. 🔪 5. **Killing Ekalavya, a tribal archer** Mahabharata, Adi Parva and Bhagavata Purana 10.52.31 Ekalavya, a low-caste boy, learns archery on his own. Drona cuts off his thumb. Later Krishna kills him, calling him unrighteous. 🚫 Reinforces caste violence against talented lower-caste individuals. 📿 6. **Supports caste system in Gita** Bhagavad Gita 4.13 Krishna says: I created the four varnas (castes) based on qualities and actions. Although interpreted philosophically, this verse was used for centuries to enforce caste discrimination. 📛 Justifies systemic social inequality. 🗣️ 7. **Killing Shishupala for verbal insults** Mahabharata, Sabha Parva During a royal ceremony, Shishupala mocks Krishna. Krishna responds by using his chakra to **behead him publicly**. 🧠 Kills someone for speech — raises moral concerns. #rama Unethical, Weird ❌🚩🚩🚩🚩👺🚩🚩❤🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Acts of Rama in Ramayana These are all from mainstream Valmiki Ramayana or well-known regional versions. 1. 💔 Banishing Sita While Pregnant — Based on Gossip Rama sends Sita to the forest alone while she is pregnant, based on a washerman’s comment about her “purity.” 🕉️ Uttara Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana “A ruler must be free from blame. I banish you to uphold my people’s trust.” Comment: Seriously? Gossip over your wife? This is not ideal leadership or love — it’s cruel and cowardly. 2. ⚔️ Killing Shambuka the Shudra for Doing Tapas Rama beheads a Shudra ascetic just because he was doing penance in the forest, which “violated dharma.” 🕉️ Uttara Kanda, Ramayana “By performing penance, the Shudra threatens the cosmic order. He must die.” Comment: Casteist horror. What kind of god kills someone for meditating? 3. 🐒 Making Monkeys Fight His War Instead of asking help from humans, Rama uses an army of monkeys (Vanaras) — like Hanuman, Sugreeva, etc. 🔹 Comment: Literal monkey business. Why use animals for war instead of diplomacy? Slaying Vali Unfairly from Behind a Tree Rama hides and shoots Vali from behind while he's fighting someone else (Sugreeva). 🕉️ Kishkindha Kanda “A king can kill from hiding when dharma is at stake.” 🔹 Comment: That’s just sneaky and cowardly, not heroic. 🔥 Asking Sita to Do Agni Pariksha (Fire Test) After rescuing her from Ravana, Rama demands she walk through fire to prove her purity. 🕉️ Yuddha Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana “I rescued you for honor, not for love. Prove your chastity.” 🔹 Comment: Toxic masculinity. Instead of comforting her, he humiliates her. Never Defending Sita Against Critics He allows society to question Sita again and again, never confronting the toxic moral policing. 🔹 Comment: Doesn’t defend his wife. Silent when he should speak. 7. 🪦 Abandoning His Children in Forest His twin sons, Lava and Kusha, are born and raised without knowing who their father is. 🔹 Comment: A father who abandons family, then fights his own sons without knowing. Blind Obedience to Dharma, No Compassion Rama is shown as a king who follows “Rajdharma” even when it destroys his personal life. 🔹 Comment: Robot-like morality — no real humanity or emotion. ❓🤔 So… Why the “Jai Shri Ram” Hype? Originally a devotional phrase, “Jai Shri Ram” has now become: 🚩 1. Political Slogan (Not JustReligious) Widely used by Hindutva groups (like RSS, Bajrang Dal, etc.) Chanted during hate crimes, riots, and lynchings Used to assert Hindu supremacy, not peace or devotion Brainwashed Symbolism Kids in schools, people on streets forced to chant it Becomes reflex rather than real devotion 🔊 3. Used in Intimidation Many victims of hate attacks in India were forced to chant “Jai Shri Ram” before being beaten or killed. 🔹 Example: Tabrez (Jharkhand), 2019 🔹 Example: Delhi Riots, 2020 Fake Masculinity & Heroism Rama is projected as “Hindu warrior king” — even though real Ramayana presents him as soft, conflicted, and Fake Masculinity & Heroism Rama is projected as “Hindu warrior king” — even though real Ramayana presents him as soft, conflicted, and emotional The aggressive macho image is fake propaganda

Never trust people from india

It’s been 5 years for me here and I honestly can say I have achieved nothing in my life yet. It scares me when I think I can’t return whatever my parents had invested in me. The fact is you’ll never have a good paying job in Canada being an immigrant. When I say this trust me I mean it. Most you’ll get is a minimum wage job which can make you survive the life here. Taxes are high definitely and what I feel is you’re working to make someone else’s life easier. \n(P.S: people who’ve stayed in Canada will understand who I’m implying to)\nNo one wants to be your freind, scope of socializing is zero coz mostly it’s cold round the year so everyone hardly come out, especially in Northern provinces like Yukon, Saskatchewan, Manitoba.\nHealthcare is a joke. If you feel sick and not well and you wanna see a doctor be prepared to wait for hours and hours. I once had stomach infection and I had to wait 5 hours till someone could see me. I asked for painkiller at-least so I could bear the pain but they refused that as well. You might well see someone you love dearly and with whole heart die in-front of you and you could do nothing. (I’ve experienced it myself hence saying)\nYou’re a lone survivor who’ll always keep fighting. \nThe only person who can make money here is businesses and high paid jobs which are reserved to Canadians. That’s how Canada’s job market is. Canadians’ first and if there’s something left they’ll look at you. By the amount of money people invest here they can establish a nice business back in their country itself and earn accordingly on own terms. \nMost importantly you’ll cut yourself from all emotional supports like family, freinds etc.\nI was social person back in India who liked making new freinds and memories but it’s nothing like that here. \nAnd it’s the same life, no different.\nYou wake up, dress, eat, go to work, come back, eat, sleep. No different.\nNo fun and nothing. You actually don’t live in present, you live in an expectation of a better tommorow.\nYou’ll always have a smile when you greet someone but I guarantee you no one’s gonna check on you to if you don’t start a conversation even with a simple “Hi”. Mostly Canadians are nice but again some will systematically judge you and say nothing but you’ll see in their actions, the way they’ll talk in a twisted way etc.\nYes I’m not saying that Canada’s bad or it’s no good but trust me it will take forever to build a life here especially with the number of people moving here from round the world. \nIf you’re well off financially from back home Canada’s a paradise for you. Indeed it’s a beautiful country with lots of beauty and lots to explore but remember everything comes with a cost here. Everything comes with a cost. People need to stop believing in this fake illusion and come only if they got a purpose here. The only reason why they’ll let you in the country is for money and once you’re in you’ll have to keep spending, doesn’t matter if you’re broke or whatever you have to.\nOnce I earn I’ll happily give up my PR status and go back to India as i very well know what the situation is how it’s gonna be in future.\nSo just one piece of advise to every middle class person like me, guys please invest and spend your money wisely coz we know how hard it is to earn and it’s high time Canadians start appreciating what immigrants like us do for them by burning ourselves day and night and start realizing that their past generation once came from some other part of the world as well and settled here. Being white doesn’t make you a nice Canadian, you’re actions defines you more than your words. \n90% of this country is built by immigrants and that’s how it’s gonna develop in future, so if they keep treating us the same way good luck to them ?.\nAlso a plus note to anyone thinking that Asians are stealing your jobs, go get outside and have the balls to face them and take it away from them. Staying home and ranting and abusing us that we’re taking your opportunities and blah blah isn’t gonna work. We are so successful round the world because we are hardworking, honest and respectful to everyone. Even if we’re earning minimum and barely surviving here we always make sure we’re not burden on the government or anyone else and won’t keep crying.\n\nA big shoutout to all you guys who came here in the hope of a better future but are still struggling.\nKeep hustling and you’ll reach there, if not step down and go back and start your life again on your home soil. There’s no shame in experimenting continuously rather than sitting ideally and crying about future. \n\nAll the very best my people and lots of love to you ❣️
