Avatar the last Airbender fans talk so much about perfection in casting of accurate descent actor but Avatar is rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism also originated in India . Buddha was born in Nepal ...so the casting of Aang should have been from Nepal/North Eastern/ Tibetan descent. Why does this fandom always erases ancient India influence. Also saying Buddhism influence is never going to take away from ancient Indian influence. India originated Buddhism. Especially ethnicity I belong to ,they spread it .My ancestor helped in Buddha achieving his enlightenment. You people were mad about sokka casting why was their not fight enough for Indian subcontinent representation? You people fought a lot for water tribe casting. People are just hypocrites and also racist towards South Asian in atla fandom. Considering how racist are east Asian and SEA region people towards South Asian.. oh well the casting...
And dear westerners croony sjws of atla fandom please get in your head easily that Asians are not interchangeable..

I dun have problem when people wear saree or bangles of other culture. It shouldn't be like mocking way but sometimes people don't have malice intentions... People need to understand the difference between Cultural appropriation and appreciation.. I don't know why people can't see distinction as well.. You can't be calling everything CA. If someone wore saree and danced bharatnatyam respectfully its not CA for me.. But if someone did in insulting way it is more like its so racist. Also to understand and acknowledge not every different race go through same experience..
On contrary don't want white people to have strong opinion on this. You don't get to say anything over us...

South Asians come along and share your experience.. Tell your stories about the way you have faced prejudice and racism in other Asian countries..
Smh "what the hell is curry?...
"We eat sabji"
The times us South Asian felt alienation from other Asians in places, media and fandom space let's talk about it
The way me as South Asian faced prejudice and racism from even other Asians in some fandom forget just about white people. How we get portrayed in Chinese media or Korean media and people find it funny.. How our feelings doesn't get acknowledged. How we get alienated from being called Asian. These all are so serious issues.. I am afraid to even disclose my identity as South Asian.
And how you all love our food but hate us like that 😍
Sigh...
Also some people who don't wanna acknowledge Buddhism originated in India.. My god how much you hate us tho

Can we like stop sexualizing Krishna's relationship with Gopis in Vrindavan.. I see a lot of people even do that on twitter to insult him.. Do these people not know he was 11/12 yrs old when he left vrindavan ?? This is really beyond ridiculous

@hindumythologyevent day 4 - Male characters / sources
Sometimes she wondered if the others could see it too.
The way he moved, with something more than just a warrior’s confidence and strength, more than just a prince’s grace and charm.
The way he smiled, the smile of a man who had seen everything there was to be seen, almost like he was watching the world unfold around him like a retelling of a beloved play.
The way he drew people towards him, commanded not just the respect but the love and adoration of those around him, almost effortlessly.
The way people turned to him for advice, approval, comfort, even in anger - how they always looked to him first.
The way his arrival would silence a room, make people hold their breath, make them gawk, not in fear or shock, but in admiration. He was beautiful, yes, but it was something more.
Were it anyone else, she might have thought him insincere, a man who put on an act, who rarely revealed his true colors, she might have even been envious - he cannot be this immaculate, not truly. But with him, there was no question of it.
She’d seen his mischief, his laughter, his practicality, his morality; his bluntness, almost outright rudeness towards those who didn’t deserve his respect, and his utter devotion and earnestness to those who did.
She’d seen him brighten her husband Arjun’s day with just a smile, lessen her own sadness with just a hand on her arm, calm even his hot tempered long suffering brother Balram’s anger with only a look.
She hadn’t often seen him rise to anger, despite the many situations that warranted it. She knew, of course, that his offenders were far beneath him, undeserving of not just his anger but his mere presence, but it made him all the more fascinating, the way their words had seemingly no effect on him save for amusement, how he so rarely acted in haste, or fell prey to his temper, yet how easy it was for him to smile, to laugh, to sing.
She’d heard the insults they threw at him - that he was only a cowherd, only a milkmaid’s son, no one to be respected, as if those were titles to be ashamed of.
She’d heard of eyes twinkling like stars before, but the stars she saw in his eyes felt real - too real.
She’d heard tales, from Subhadra, of his enchanting prowess with the flute. How his music would make the gopis dance, how everyone would flock to hear it, beg him to play it for them, how even the cows in vrindavan would come to him when they heard it. No , she’d wanted to say, it wasn’t the music, it wasn’t just the music, it was him.
She’d heard of the events that followed in his wake- of Pootna, of Mount Govardhan, of Kansa; she was no stranger to divine intervention, being born from fire herself, but it did not seem to her as if he had obtained boons from various gods, or as if he was under the protection of one, and that was what had led to the stories that followed him. Who was he, really? What was he?.
But for all her musings, he seemed almost inexplicably human, inexplicably mortal. She saw in him the sky, the stars, the heavens, but she also saw the dust from behind the wheels of his chariot, the blood his divine weapon left on his fingers, the love with which he held his wives’ hands, the tenderness with which he held her first son in his arms.
Krishna, Vasudev, Govinda , Giridhari, Keshav, Son of Devaki, Son of Yashoda, Son of Nanda, Her true friend, confidant, her partner in crime, the perfect match to her wit, and somehow, something more. More than anything she has ever known.
It’s why when she feels the most alone she has ever felt, the most angry, the most betrayed, the most helpless, the most afraid, she calls out to him.
Because she knows without a doubt he will hear her

I really liked Castlevania style of animation so hopefully I would more wish for anime or animation more than live action. Less chances of even getting disappointed

18 Days is the Mahabharata reimagined by Grant Morrison (the writer of Batman) and illustrated in all its mind-bending, otherwordly beauty by artist Mukesh Singh. It follows the course of the 18-day war, which, in the Mahabharata, marks the end of the age of gods and the beginning of the age of men.
P. S : anime adaptation would snap. If they decide to do right portrayal. They should definitely get in touch with BORI critical version and Bibek Debroy's translation

Just a reminder how much star wars actually stole Eastern based philosophies and mainly from upanishads and even the names. And yet hardly much representation for Asian
Sanskrit Orgin of Character's in Star Wars in Star Wars Universe
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Star Wars has influence of lot of different languages and one of them is predominantly Sanskrit. Names like Shaak-Ti, sheev are other examples to add as far as I am aware.
In "Duel of Fates" and Qui Gon Jinn Funeral theme. They also use "Sanskrit" in chants in these themes. It's the language of ancient Indo-vedic civilization.
