The Original Good Cop

The Abrahamic God has often been described as a ruthlessly strong, angry, jealous male, quick to take offense, one who can toss you into eternal hellfire, etc. But being as subtle as a sledgehammer creates an image, and hence recruitment, problem. Some Abrahamic variations do not care about PR or niceties. His will will be done, one way or another, and peace is established by the fear of the sword or the fear of the bigger sword. Other cults are smarter.

Enter: son of God. The epitome of love, charity, kindness, and persuasion. Benevolence multiplied by Goodness raised to the power of divinity. Rather than put the fear of God in you right away, you first do a meet-and-greet, and then gradually get acquainted with the good son. He's the good guy, who is on your side, fighting your cause in the trenches, accepting your shameful sins, who's taken the hit for you so you won't have to, who will save you from the torrid wrath of the angry big-boss CEO upstairs. And he's the only one who can protect you from the quintessential bad cop, and all you have to do is sign on the dotted line. And it works. every time. spectacularly. You are hooked. The good guy too has a dark side - after all, he's a chip of the old Abrahamic block, but you do not want to see it until it is too late. It's like an age old retail trick that works like a charm. You are suckered by the promotion that practically gives away the core, attractive hardware, and you end up paying through your nose for the endless expensive accessory products for the rest of your life. No surprise then that billions around the world have fallen, and continue to fall for the world's first and original good-cop bad-cop trick.

The GCBC routine has since been re-employed over the years in a variety of different forms and improvisations to facilitate religious conversion and digestion of native cultures. India is a prime example. Hindus, in particular, fall for this all the time because they invariably view the junior good-cop very positively in isolation but then fail to spot the GCBC system at work, and that it is the bad cop boss upstairs that ultimately calls the shots. This failure of not adopting a systems approach is costing India. Some of the intellectual Hindu writers online fall for this and end up looking silly.

The work and methods formulated by Rajiv Malhotra to delineate the hostile ecosystems at work, expose them, guard against them, and eventually turn them back, are incredibly important to internalize. Listen to this debate between Rajiv Malhotra and a wonderful, nice, courteous, and friendly good cop in Houston. RM explains the GCBC system really well here.

Srinivasa Ramanujan: Jewel in Indra's Net

Why are we awed when we learn of Srinivasa Ramanujan's amazing results? He was self-taught, and provided no 'proof' for those results that conformed to the Euclidean / axiomatic model driving the western system of Mathematical study. Yet, as it has turned out over the hundred years since Ramanujan's works, a very, very high percentage of his results have been proven right by the Western system of mathematics. Very few of his results were found to be wrong, and a vast majority of his results were completely new - there is no evidence so far that the world knew about those findings before Ramanujan presented them. How did he do it?

How?
Ramanujan himself attributed this remarkable success to his personal/ family deity, Goddess Namagiri, a feminine manifestation of divinity (in the dharmic sense), who 'gave' him the answers. The world takes this important piece of information with a bit of amusement, awe, and instead chooses to attribute Srinvasa's success to that unexplainable human attribute that the west has coined as 'genius'. Many Indians take pride in Ramanujan's 'genius', and the historicity that Ramanujan was born in India: a glowing reminder of India's once brilliant past, now extinguished; India got lucky with history, and Ramanujan won a gene lottery.

However, this does not appear to be a satisfactory enough explanation. Whatever this 'genius' is, it appears to be based on solid and systematic methods, and a lot of hard work, deep insights, and intuition. The story is that in England, as the professors there tried to teach Ramanujan new and modern areas of Math that he was not exposed to before, he was busy writing down new results. The story of a differently wired brain pulling results out thin air falls short.

The question arises: if there is a systematic method at work, then Ramanujan's methods must be reproducible by a human with a non-zero probability. So what is that system? Is this unique, or if not, where have we seen this before? Importantly, can we recover this systematic method and put it to use for solving today's and future problems?

YES, it is likely that:
a) there is a systematic method at work,
b) we have seen it before, and
c) it is reproducible.

Where and when have we seen it before? 
Yoga. Ayurveda. Vedanta. Many results have been derived in these areas of human discovery, after having been empirically validated and reproduced to the satisfaction of the Indian systems of verification (Pramana) for centuries now. The west, in places like Harvard University, and other centers of research have the sophisticated instrumentation and research funding to essentially reconfirm to their satisfaction, these astonishing Indian discoveries, or quantify and measure qualitative Indian findings. These verification studies are not trivial. Praiseworthy, painstaking studies in the west in the areas of psychology, medicine,  mind-sciences, Quantum physics, Human intelligence, Linguistics, Environmental management, Engineering, Management, Computer Science, etc. have quantified, validated, and embraced, bit by bit, section by section, these Indian results. New and beneficial products and services have been derived directly and indirectly from these Indian discoveries. This comes across as a replay of events that Ramanujan triggered in the area of Ganitha!

Summary
Based on these observations, it is possible that what Ramanujan achieved is not some random event. It is likely that his methods represent an application of a 'traditional' Indian approach to knowledge discovery. Paninian Ganitha versus Euclidean mathematics, if you will. Leading Indian expert-commentators like M.D. Srinivas have found Ramanujan's work to be representative of an illustrious body of work done by a sequence of brilliant dharmic researchers from Panini to Aryabhata to Madhava of Kerala. His results are no more astonishing that the amazing discoveries via Yoga, Ayurveda, and other dharmic methods that continue to benefit the cosmos.

Such methods neither claim, nor require, some magical-myth/supernatural monotheist God/random-genius basis.  Ramanujan's attribution to the Devi is not an isolated instance. Panini mentioned that the Shiva Sutras were revealed to him through Shiva's Damru. This attribution to the dharmic divine appears to be neither coincidental nor some zealous 'rush of religious blood'.

Two points to summarize:
a) Indian researchers state that the dharmic (Indian) approach to Ganitha represents a valid way of uncovering previously unknown facts that is different from the western approach of starting from assumptions/axioms and moves to theorems to newer theorems.

b) Furthermore, a state of mind required to generate such extraordinary clarity and insight can be induced via adhyatmic (inner science) techniques. These dharmic techniques can be learned by 'normal' humans from Gurus, and is not the sole preserve of wizards or prophets past.

Therefore, it is possible that new Ramanujan-type results can be generated in the future, and not just in Ganitha, but in a variety of fields, by learning and employing authentic Indian methods, in tandem with western instrumentation and techniques for verification.

Dharmic Clock Running Out

A quick back-of-the-envelope 5-minute 'ball-park' estimate of the 'market share' of dharmic people in undivided India.

Please feel free to post corrections if the numbers are way off, so that readers may benefit.

The following three rows display a recent population estimate by country (in millions), and the approximate percentage of Hindus (dharmics) in that national population.


India: 1230M (78.5%)
Pakistan: 192M (1.85%)
Bangladesh: 158M (8%)

total share of dharmics
= (1230*0.785+192*0.0185+158*0.08)/(1230+192+158)
~ 62%

I recall reading somewhere that the percentage of Hindus in
1947 undivided India was 66% (link needed). If true, this means, from 947CE to 1947, dharmic share dropped from 100% to 66%. This gives us a decline rate of  34/1000, or about 3.4 percentage points every hundred years, on average. During this period, the Abrahamic invaders of India perpetrated the biggest holocaust in the history of mankind, dwarfing both the massive genocide of native Americans by Euro-Christian invaders, and the mass-murder of millions of Jews during WW2 by the Nazis. Most native populations around the world crumbled under such continuous onslaught, but dharma stood its ground.

Yet, post independence, in just 67 yrs since 1947, the dharmic share appears to have dropped 4 percentage points. This despite enjoying more than 3/4 majority in India and having the freedom to chart their own prosperous future, and the luxury of having no organized Abrahamic genocidal opposition to fight. Today's Hindus, in far, far more benign times, appear to be losing demographic share at roughly twice the rate at which their heroic ancestors lost ground in the previous thousand years. Instead of the decline being arrested and reversed, it appears to have accelerated. Why? There are likely to be many reasons, both internal and external. Let's look at one internal picture.

Lack of dharmic grounding?
In this era when Tamas rules Hindu minds, when educated Indians recklessly brand and market themselves using "center right wing" or "center left wing" or "regional" or "world citizen" or some other gibberish label, and some its intellectuals cumulatively devote precious man-months to intellectual gymnastic dogfights over Vimanas, this should not come as a surprise. We see respected thinkers continue to fund and celebrate the suicidal process of outsourcing the R&D of key strategic knowledge areas (which should've been their core dharma) to Hinduphobic academics in India and the west, and mock native attempts. This is not merely a sign of intellectual bankruptcy, but utter adhyatmic bankruptcy. IQ, and not dharmic quotient is revered today, and consequently, almost all of India's thought leaders have lost their dharmic compass, and it does not seem to worry them in the least.  

If Moron Smriti continues to reign, then simple math sends a message: for the first time in many thousand years, dharma will no longer be the majority in a little more than 200 years from now in its own sacred geography. That's just a few rebirths away.

Moral victories are useless in a Dharma Yuddham

'Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right' - Salvor Hardin (Issac Asimov, Foundation series).

After a recent retaliation by the Indian army, Pakistan now seeks a moral victory. Incredulous.

https://twitter.com/ANI_news/status/550628803412623361

Laughable as this sounds, such moves will have plenty of support from their support base amongst the leftist and secular sepoy ecosystem in India and both the left and right wings in the west - despite India losing the life of yet another soldier in this latest unprovoked attack. This "no first use" type policy is costing the democracies of the world, in general, and India in particular, a lot of precious lives. Despite every attempt at peace by India over the last 60+ years, Pakistan has continued its diabolical attempts to bleed India, even if it has had to sacrifice its own children in Peshawar to achieve this vision. Why?

At its core, Pakistan is a 3-D printed artifact, a synthetic unity enforced by a violent ideology and thus in a constant state of tension that can only be released by periodic acts of Himsa. And clearly, these acts are increasing in both frequency and amplitude. Unlike India, which is characterized by a viable integral unity based on dharma, Pakistan as a single entity has no basis in reality. In fact, many thousands of people from east and west Pakistan migrate back into India, seeking refuge from the Frankenstein that they themselves constructed. Like a USSR, it is inevitable that a stable peace and equilibrium can only be achieved by disaggregating such a synthetic unity into its organic, more integral constituents. Attempts to bring about such a sustainable peace genuinely represents ahimsa since it will reduce tensions, minimize the harm and alleviate the misery in the region, and thus should not be discouraged but actively encouraged by all the peace loving peoples of the world. To feign ignorance over what is happening in Pakistan may seem moral, but it is certainly not dharmic. If India truly believes in 'Ahimsa paramo dharma', then it needs to act accordingly, and not based on flaky Abrahamic notions of morality. In a dharma yuddham, there can be fairness, but no compromise. Rather than continuing to endure Himsa to gain some non-existing moral upper ground that nobody cares about, India must, like Lee Child's Jack Reacher, seriously consider getting its retaliation in first - to save dharmic lives and rip apart the synthetic unity of a Jarasandha that has made its hostile intent and actions abundantly and repeatedly clear.

Free Speech, RoPiophobia, and the Karna Syndrome

Said the Viceroy to brown natives: What do you know about free speech? Until voices like yours are silenced, there can never be free speech in India. And this Pax-Romana ushered in an era of peace and free speech was born. And the quiet native started to listen.

The viceroy continued: Tis a religion of peace. You suffer from RoPiophobia. If an RoP chap commits violence and disturbs peace, he can't be RoP, by definition, can he? Never mind its operating manual. It's a R.o.P. Like R.o.L. Peace & love in our time. How hard can this be? Remember how you, with your Hindu rate of 'growth', were not a team player and let down the perfect world we gave you? After all, it worked perfectly elsewhere. In addition to this FreeSpeech, We launched many a BestProduct, designed many a FoolProofPlan, passed a variety of PerfectLaws, provided TopSecurity, created many a DreamJob, gave you every FundamentalRight, IdeaOfIndia, RoP, RoL, ... we built a freakin utopia for 60 years, and it still did not work because - know this - India is a country which even perfection cannot save. You fatalistic natives are utterly incapable of improving yourselves. Karma. You are only fit to be chaiwallas.

And one did, but many a native believed this Indra and turned sepoy. He gave up the very divinity and distinctiveness that he was born with in a moment of stupefying generosity. That resilient defense - those divine earrings of Sanskriti, the unbreakable armor of Dharma, in exchange for a one-time use of wonder-weapons made in the west. He's used it up. Karna's wheels have come off. His moral compass is lost and he is rudderless. Yet the syndrome looks for a way out. He's still got the gift of the gab.  Arjuna must do his duty. This is Kurukshetra, and there can be no compromise in a Dharmayudh.

postscript: western universal idea of "branding" creates a lot of useless products. Remember the flat cricket pitch marketed as "those who bend their back can extract bounce"? If you did not extract any bounce, then you did not bend your back. Hindu rate of growth.

A Sufficiently Large Value of Zero

Constructing false equivalences comes naturally to the science- and logic-illiterate seculars in India coming out of the assortment of humanities departments in the west and India. For example, see this tweet:

False equivalences like these eventually rest on the following theorem:
"For sufficiently large values, zero can be rounded up to one".
Proof: Take any zero. Press on both sides long enough.

Corollary: "For sufficiently small values, 1 can be rounded to 0".
Proof: Take a unity shaped balloon and blow sufficient hot air into it.

When you begin to treat Boolean true vs false as merely unit rounding error, a whole lot of things are possible. By repeatedly applying this "rounding rule", you can make anything equal to anything else. All it takes is vivid imagination, and this department, one must concede that non-dharmics do rule the world.

Examples

'For sufficiently large values, the 300-yr rule by Mughal invaders was the pinnacle of Indian historical achievement' (All their genocides and native dharmic achievements rounded down to zero by repeated application of corollary, etc.)

'For sufficiently small values, Hindu dharma is negligible and can hence be rounded down to zero' (non-negligible residuals are either some Neo-Hinduism 0-to-1 fabrication or generic 'South-Asian' Gaussian noise)

'First there was nothing, then there was something'. Genesis - a restatement of  the main theorem.  'First there will be something, then nothing' is an application of the corollary. Judgement-day and Jahannam. This before/after miracle has sustained thousands of marketing campaigns. This belief is the bedrock of marxism, history-centrism and its monotheisms. Non-dharmic thought will always prefer Magic over Yoga, Prophesy over Forecast, and Dogma over Karma. (Karma and Punar Janm represent the clearest refutation of this "something to nothing" adharmic fallacy).

Sometimes, applying this theorem can fail badly.

1. 'For sufficiently large values, Rahul Gandhi > Narendra Modi'. Sadly, some zeros are irreversibly, irretrievably, absolutely zero.

2. 'For sufficiently large values, Nalanda university can be brought back to life'.

Nalanda university was destroyed by Jihadis centuries ago. Round that fact down to zero, round up some funds from gullibles, and you end up with the brand-hijacking led by Mr. Sen, the numericidal genius whose body of work has convinced millions that there is a place for fantasy in economics and public policy.

To honor the secular magician and his university, this rounding rule is named "ΓΈ0", The Null-Anda Theorem.

Creating History: Patriots versus Drohis

How patriots create history: 'When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today'

Secular-socialist government: 'If you manage to get home, warn them of us and say, for our today, we are taking your tomorrow'

Eminent historian sepoys, and Hinduphobes: 'When you go home, tell them of us but deny that, for our today and tomorrow, we took your yesterday'
