#richest person in india

[iheartbookbran]

like, I still think it’s sort of weird that Shonda Rhimes bought the rights to the Bridgerton novels, did a mediocre job at adapting the material and also kinda ruined one of the most popular pairings from the books in the process, and then proceeded to hyperfixate on her own OC to the point of creating a spin-off in which the central romance is about two members of a very white, slave-owning, racist and imperialist institution that could only maintain power through the exploitation of people of color all over the world, but now the protagonist is a black woman who’s about to end racism in 1700s Great Britain through the power of Love

Omg that ask you received about marginalised swifties ‘Turning their brains off’ to fawn over their fave fascist is SO REAL.

Ur ask box says come here to rant so I’m NOT holding back lmao sorry if this is a long one.

One of my friends is like this but he doesn’t even have Taylor Swift as an exception to his political opinions/ the standards he sets for other celebrities. Instead he will try to the best of his ability to justify EVERYTHING she does. Even if he literally said the opposite five minutes ago.

He loves Greta Thunberg and thinks carbon credits are just rich people shite?? Actually no Taylor is trying her best!! 😭😭 did you know she bought carbon credits so really she’s mitigating climate change.

He is against racism (AS A WHITE ENGLISH BOY) And thinks all celebrities should speak up against it?? Well, if she speaks up she and her fans could be hurt! (In THIS crowd?? 💁🏼‍♀️ 👩🏼👩🏼👩🏼👩🏼‍🦱👩🏼👩🏻‍🦰👩🏼👩🏻👩🏼 Bitch WHO?).

He is against homophobia (dude is literally gay) and any cishet celebrity who doesn’t immediately condemn homophobia is trash and morally bankrupt (his own words- which I agree with)?? Well yk she did make that one song! Wdym it portrays the poor rural working class as the homophobes and the rich educated people as great allies who have never been homophobic nor the ones passing homophobic and transphobic legislation?? No it’s actually a metaphor (for what? Her being classist? Not much of a metaphor when it’s fucking obvious).

That’s the context, so here’s The Story 😸😸

I remember late last year (a few weeks before Taylor Swift donated the wild wild sum of £250 dollars to see a comedy show raising money for Palestine) me and my friend were talking about how it’s morally bankrupt for celebrities to not talk about Palestine and this delulu little swiftie was like “yeah!! You guys are so right!” Until our friend was like “esp billionaires cz they could make so much of an impact just by speaking up once but don’t because they care more their money and have probably never spoken to a brown person darker than a paper bag”

And lemme tell you this about this mf. his face dropped immediately like 😊😟 and he starts waffling on like “uhmm well she’s on tour it would endanger her fans! Like the Manchester terror attack!! And she’s not a politician or anything so it wouldn’t do nowt.”

(The way he was insinuating her fans might get bombed in a ‘terror attack’ is a little 🤨 considering Isreal wouldn’t bomb a white US American woman and her majority wealthy white western fanbase in a western zionist county because that demographic makes up the majority of their supporters, and esp not in a terror attack... unless he’s aware of the fact that she’s probably a Zionist but just doesn’t want to say it LMAOO)

So me and my friend share A Look like what is this english boy (derogatory: inbred racist) on? And he immediately goes on the offence and I will say again; he is a staunch leftist. He is a gay guy in the Uk, esp considering the northern (aka fucked by the government, quite bigoted and really deprived) working class (he is the richest of our friend group but tbh that isn’t saying much lmao) area we live in. He is ALWAYS talking about social justice and how he, who is on average the most privileged person in our friend group, wants to use his privilege to help the less fortunate.

So! He turns to our friend: queer brown girl who’s family are catholic and from Maharashtra (India), and me: queer white girl who’s family are (mostly) Jewish and from Eastern Europe. And he says (I SHIT YOU NOT) extremely loudly so that many people nearby can hear cause we’re in our school’s canteen:

“Well, at least MY ANCESTORS didn’t murder hundreds of Hindus during partition! And at least MY BROTHER isn’t in the IDF!!”

(Wish this was in an English literature exam cause I could analyse the fuck out of it)

All it took was people insinuating his favourite celebrity wasn’t a good person. We didn’t even fucking name her. And he weaponises his privileges against those with less than him. Even if what he said was true it is fucking disgusting to use that against minorities, esp his friends, esp because we live in an area where so many people fall prey to politics scapegoating minorities for all the UK’s problems, and esp because he pretends to be against this stuff??

But no it gets worse, because let me explain the actual truth of that he said.

Our friend’s family were originally Hindu and converted relatively recently and AFTER partition so they wouldn’t have been killing Hindus. And saying murder is just pretty ugh. Also HUNDREDS?? The only people with that much blood on their hands after partition are the English and that’s a fucking fact. And from what I know most of the conflicts within Maharashtra were not religious but ethnic-based?? I might be wrong but of course this guy wouldn’t know regardless. Also it should be noted that the majority of Indian kids at our school are from a different state with a different language + culture and our friend already feels alienated from them along with being treated like shit by a select few. So literally announcing her family fucking MURDERED theirs isn’t helping at all!

Then there’s my bit lol.

First of all it’s not my brother, it’s my half brother. And he’s not in the IDF he is just a Zionist. Which is still really awful and uplifting a system of apartheid. But not the same.

Now the thing is. The only reason this guy knows this is because THREE YEARS AGO i entrusted him as a friend and vented about issues in my family: that my half brother is a Zionist and wants to join the IDF when he’s older and I’m really ashamed that he has interpreted our religion in a way that perpetrates genocide. Also like my entire family are arguing about it and it’s really stressful. A month later (still 3 years ago) someone spread rumours around school that I was a Zionist and hated Muslims (what really happened was that someone was making Holocaust jokes saying ‘I gave them permission to do it’ and I called them out, so that was their revenge.). This guy was my friend all through that and KNOWS how much it upset me and esp because there were at the time no other Jewish people in our school.

To this day I’m still hesitant to tell people at school that I’m Jewish because I’m paranoid something like this will happen again.

But this guy didn’t care. He made up a lie about my friend not only demonising her to her own community but also to outsiders. Blaming mass bloodshed that his own people perpetrated onto her and her family. Then he lied about me and my family- bastardising something I told him years ago as a close friend with the trust he wouldn’t use it against me years later. But he did.

Of our little trio (we do have a bigger friend group but we were the only ones in that convo), he is the one who has done the least for Palestine. We have been fighting for fucking years and he’s only opening his eyes know which is still good and better than never of course. But to speak with such authority when literally all he has done is tell us he’s against Israel (better than Taylor but still spineless). Bro isn’t even an activist because there’s nothing active about what he does. He just passively hangs around and through association with us, other people and being already a minority (queer) isn’t assumed to be a Zionist.

AND!! Ironically he is actually quite disliked at my school- not for being a scumbag, but for the fact that he’s gay. We are some of his only friends but he’s willing to jeopardise our relationship just to uplift an insanely wealthy bigot half a world away.

Anyway yeah that’s it lol.

What he did was racist and antisemitic and fucking AWFUL. He has done stuff like this before and since- never always go the same extent though- and I think this story takes the cake.

When you said leftist swifties will just ignore their values for her. You were right to an extend but also kind of wrong. Turns out they will also weaponise everything they claim to be against just to protect their precious little blonde billionaire. Hooray 🤩🤩

Anyway thank you so so much for not only calling out Taylor swift and swifties’s BS but also issues within the anti community (sigh. Jewishbarbies) and standing up for what’s right. Free Palestine and fuck the colonisers 🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️❤️

As a side note you said you wanted to listen to more Indian songs n you probably already know it cause it’s Bollywood and really popular but CHAMMAK CHALLO by Akon is a lifestyle <3 I might not be here much but I’d love to be 😻 anon if it’s available (or the REAL Jewish barbie if you feel like it lmao)

please drop this guy. this is not your friend this is someone who hangs out with you because (as you said) no one else likes him.

nobody with his alleged politics would ever think let alone ACCUSE you and your desi best friend of racist lies (STRAIGHT UP ACCUSING YOUR FRIENDS FAMILY OF MASS MURDER?) and zionist ties (blaming you for your brother wanting to join the idf?). this is not a good person.

i’m sorry this behavior is so abhorrent. nobody who genuinely respects, likes, cares and KNOWS the both of you would ever think of saying this in your face. and all in the defense of a WEALTHY WHITE CELEB WHO PRIDES HERSELF IN BEING A FEMINIST CONTINUING TO STAY SILENT 9 MONTHS INTO A GENOCIDE. he is showing you that he would rather side with/defend a (privileged) white person rather his own marginalized friends if he likes them more than you. this is not someone not committed to their own politics.

this is what i was saying about further left identifying swifties is that their leftist politics are just aesthetics for them. if you can disregard your politics for your favorite celeb you are not committed to the ideology you claim as your political framework. also i noticed how you used homophobia and greta thunberg as examples, which explains his behavior as self serving meaning he’s a leftist only because he’s directly impacted by his issues. (if he calls himself anti racist tell him to stfu especially after what he said to your desi bff bc wtf) this is not a good person who’s own personal politics regarding palestine are passive at best. he isn’t even committed to palestine’s liberation.

ugh. what a disgusting human being. i am so sorry your “friend” said this disgusting shit to you just because HE felt threatened you guys were holding his fave accountable. he went fully mask off and spouted bigotry because HE felt threatened. if this is not the first or last time he’s done this, he’s told you multiple times who he is and you have no obligation to continue being his friend because he does not deserve to be.

fuck all the zionists in the tag and SHOW UP FOR PALESTINE. go and get involved in your actions, reshare and donate to gfm’s, actively educate yourself (haymarket books has free book pdfs to download about palestine), post online and above all REMAIN STEADFAST IN YOUR COMMITMENT TO PALESTINE.

death to all colonial powers, land back to all indigenous peoples, and reparations and return of all stolen resources and artifacts to the decolonized peoples. fuck israel and death to the white settler colonial state!

October 31st, 1923, London, England

Out of the parties the Porters were known for, it was their Halloween party they were infamous for, and anyone who was anybody was invited, not just friends and acquaintances. Byron thought it amusing, seeing everyone dressed up in elegant costumes that likely cost a pretty penny. They ranged from cute, like Wilhelmina’s ladybug ensemble, to well, his sister’s extremely accurate gown of Empress Elisabeth of Austria she’d made herself. He had not a clue where she’d gotten such a fine wig, nor did he want to know. 

Of course, Byron was less focused on the party, but rather the two women who were talking near his sister and her paramour. He’d never seen them before, but the woman dressed as a Greek god looked rather familiar, though he couldn’t place why.

“I wonder who those lovely ladies are.”

Montgomery, who’d been in a sour mood for most of the night, turned his head and looked generally surprised. “Oh, don’t ya even think ‘bout it.”

“What? You know Miss Dionysus?”

“That’s Miss Eleora Balass.”

“...Like the Richer-Than-God Baghdadi Jew Balasses?”

“Aye. I’m her father’s personal physician.”

“You? Salim Balass’ personal doctor? He’s everything you are politically against.”

“I think he likes havin’ someone who isn’t afraid to speak their mind. We get into such arguments, and I’m afraid I’ve pushed too far, and he’ll fire me, but then the next day he’ll invite me to lunch and we’ll laugh over it.”

The Balass family were one of the wealthiest families in the world—Salim Balass being the fourth richest man in Europe, and listed as one of the top twenty wealthiest men in the world. They had made their fortune as merchant and traders, rising to power in the Mughal Empire before moving their base of operations to India after being forced to flee Baghdad in the early 19th century, where they established control over the Indian cotton industry, moving to Great Britain as their home in the late 1880s. 

“Well, what’s Miss Balass like?”

Montgomery sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “No.”

Byron couldn’t help but smirk. “Introduce me. I’ll force you if I must.”

Almost on cue, Miss Balass and her friend turned around, her face lighting up upon recognizing the Scotman’s face, and she waved. “Oh, Dr. MacGregor!”

“Well, I suppose you’ll have to introduce us now, Montgomery.”

“Fuck off.”

“You know the Porters, Dr. MacGregor?” Miss Balass asked.

“Aye, Mr. Porter and I were flatmates many years ago.” He sighed, turning to Byron reluctantly. “May I introduce his grace the Duke of Feldsbury?”

Byron smiled and nodded his head. “A pleasure.”

“A duke? My, my, I wasn’t aware you knew such people.”

The other woman turned to her friend. “I thought you said he was socialist.”

“Oh, he is, don’t worry. Dr. MacGregor is my late sister’s widower. We knew each other far before I was even aware of the Feldsbury title.”

“Oh, Feldsbury! You’re the former army captain one who married the Gardenhouse girl… and well, divorced her too.”

The way she said it was so amusing that Byron couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes, I am unwed now.” He turned to Miss Balass’ friend, dressed as Anne Boleyn. “I’m sorry, we haven’t been properly introduced, Miss Boleyn.”

She laughed as Miss Balass blushed. 

“This is Miss Samira Patel. Our fathers were business partners when we were in India, and they still are today. Miss Patel is one of my closest friends. Dr. MacGregor you know is my father’s physician.”

Montgomery smiled at Miss Patel. “Lovely to meet ya.”

Once they moved past pleasantries, the conversation grew much more lively, and as Byron grew enamored with Miss Balass, he could tell Montgomery was quickly warming up to Miss Patel.

In fact, when the quartet took their leave, Byron looked over to Montgomery, Miss Patel holding his arm, and said he planned to spend the night with Miss Balass—in Gaelic of course so the women wouldn’t understand.

The doctor smirked and replied in English, “I think so too.”

“You speak Gaelic, duke?”

He smiled at her. “Would you like to find out what else I speak, Miss Balass?”

She rolled her eyes as she waved for a taxi.

there’s a super rich indian couple that is going to get married or maybe they already did, cus it’s been 2 weeks ppl are talking about it 😭😭😭😭

i have no idea who they are but i don’t think they’re celebrities…they are heirs of something🫢

👀👀👀what does the indian media say about them?

it’s anant ambani and radhika merchant 👀👀👀👀

Mukesh Ambani is the richest person in Asia with a net worth of $113 billion 💀

Anant Ambani is his youngest child

Obviously the whole family is famous for being rich but in the last decade or so, they've attracted more attention in the media for their extravagant parties, weddings etc and their tendency to bring out celebrities from India and abroad for these things (Beyonce performed at his daughter's wedding, Rihanna at his son's pre wedding ceremony etc)

Nita Ambani, Mukesh Ambani's wife is thought to be the mastermind behind this (she's Swati Moon and def lovesssss to be immersed in the material world). She was an ordinary school teacher when she married Mukesh in the 80s. The Ambanis are kinda like the Rockefellers of India but they weren't as rich in the 80s as they are today, with major stakes in every industry (esp telecom). Nita was strictly middle class and unused to living a life of luxury. Mukesh's younger brother Anil Ambani, who at the time was more successful and married to a Bollywood actress, Tina Munim (now Tina Ambani) would throw these parties with Tina and invite all these celebrities since those were Tina's friends and colleagues and Nita (according to popular lore) would get very jealous because she wasn't as glamorous as Tina and being a school teacher, she felt out of place etc at these functions. Moreover being the elder daughter in law meant she had more responsibilities esp since her marriage was an arranged one and Tina & Anil had a love marriage.

Cut to a few decades later. Her father in law passed away. Anil Ambani went bankrupt and Mukesh got richer and richer 🤑🤑🤑and finally Nita could shine. There began all this tacky extravaganza. She's just making up in old age for all the partying and celebrity shoulder brushing that she didn't get to do when she was younger. She was once an out of place school teacher but now she's the wife of the richest man in Asia, so she can pull her weight differently.

All of these media shenanigans are said to be her idea as Mukesh is known for being a very simple guy (he's Ashwini Moon) who's obsessed with his wife and will do anything for her.

Since this is the last Ambani wedding of this generation, they're kinda going all out for it. For the last 6 months they've been hosting various "pre-wedding rituals" and now last week, they finally got married.

The name Ambani in India is synonymous with wealth, we just think they're crazy rich people with nothing better to do than hire celebs as their show monkeys lol

Billionaire on pace to become world’s first trillionaire by 2027, report says

Informa Connect Academy’s finding about the boss of electric carmaker Tesla, private rocket company SpaceX and social media platform X (formerly Twitter) stems from the fact that Musk’s wealth has been growing at an average annual rate of 110%. He was also the world’s richest person, with $251bn, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as the academy’s 2024 Trillion Dollar Club report began circulating Friday.

The academy’s analysis suggested business conglomerate founder Gautam Adani of India would become the second to achieve trillionaire status. That would reportedly happen in 2028 if his annual growth rate remains at 123%.

Jensen Huang, the chief executive officer of the tech firm Nvidia, and Prajogo Pangestu, the Indonesian energy and mining mogul, could also become trillionaires in 2028 if their trajectories hold. Bernard Arnault, the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton boss and the world’s third-richest person with about $200bn, is on track to eclipse a trillion dollars in 2030 – the same year as Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta.

British India wasn't all sunshine and roses as Western pop culture might tell you

Disclaimer : This isn't meant to be an attack towards the British people of today. I do not hold them accountable for any of this.

What inspired this sudden post was Bridgerton. Oh yes, Bridgerton. Before I start losing you all I wish to let you know that I am perfectly aware that Bridgerton is not supposed to be historically accurate. It's a romantic and racy period drama set in the high society of the early 19th century Mayfair.

Now, I like Bridgerton, especially the 2nd season with Kathani Sharma and Anthony. Being an Indian myself, the attention to detail that has been put with the customs and traditions including a whole Haldi Ceremony definitely warms my heart. While I do love the way the characters have always spoken about India in such high regards, I must address an issue here which I personally feel is quite important. Bridgerton very evidently ignores every single atrocity that the various high ranking officials and lords of the British Parliament, the whole British Monarchy itself, committed against India during that time. Not once has the hardships of the Indians been mentioned, not even indirectly. Absolutely nothing. "But Junie it's not supposed to be historically accurate!" Yes, I know. But what you don't understand that Britain, in fact the majority (not all) of the White population of Europe and America have seemed to have developed a sort of selective amnesia regarding the colonialization of India. The reality of it is taught nowhere in your history books. All they (maybe you) know is that British did the most kindest thing of introducing us poor, foolish, boring Indians to railways. So I have taken it upon myself (very self-importantly, I know) to draw some much needed attention to the history of 19th century British India.

Here are some links of articles and videos about how the British left the richest nation in the entire world which contributed to about 30% of the world's GDP from the 1st to the 17th century, to one of the poorest third world countries. I would very much implore you to go through at least one of them. And if you have any questions regarding anything on this topic, my asks are always open.

• The horrific Jallianwala Bagh Massacre i, ii

• Battle of Palashi [1757]

• The Great Bengal Famine of 1943 i, ii (videos)

Astro House for Business

🦋 Now Reading are Open again.🦋

🧚🏽‍♀️ Unlock Universe has to Offer you ?🧚🏽‍♀️

Well, It’s the 7th house , the house of business.

To expand a business, one must have these attributes-

An Idea- Where is the 7th lord is sitting? Which planet is the lord of 7th house? This will tell which plan one must implement in business.

Knowledge of maintaining consistency of that plan- Which planet sitting or aspecting in 7th house? This will tell to maintain the consistency of that business.

Knowledge of implementing that plan- Here Mercury and saturn play role. Mercury or 3rd house helps in implementing that plan because it represents communication and technology. saturn or 11th house helps in giving gains from business because it represents patience and hard work.

Sufficient money to implement that plan- Well placed Venus or 2nd house helps in saving the resources to implement that business.

Positive mind- The placement of Moon decides your manifestation of thoughts. You have to be positive towards your work.

A good intention for the benefit of people to implement that plan- Here rahu plays role. Rahu represents future. It represents desires. If you are thinking to do negative with your people for whom you are implementing your idea to do business for your profit only. Then universe will reflect this negativity on your work. Even if you are thinking or planning to do negative with your competitors to put them down, then also universe will reflect this thought of you upon your work. This is the rule of universe.

Dasha- Dasha will reveal the purpose of your business. Dasha will also tell your role as a business entrepreneur to expand your business.

Guts to do business- The placement of Mars or 3rd house decides your gut power and efforts to implement business.

Anyone can do business but one should have all these qualities to success.

I will prove it by showing chart of a famous business.

Mr Dhirubhai Ambani-Famous Indian Business who created the humongous business empire- Reliance

His 7th lord which is Mercury is sitting in 12th house. People think that 12th house is the house of losses. But 12th house is also the house of foreign land and mercury represents trading also.

He did business of export import in foreign lands during mars mahadasha with a business partner. His mars is sitting in 9th house and aspecting 12th house of foreign lands.

But in rahu mahadasha he ended his partnership and started on his own. Because Rahu does things well when he is alone.

His venus( lord of 11th house)is also sitting in 12th house. This shows that he will gain through foreign trading with the help of his network circle skills.

He became one of the richest person in India. This happens because he worked according to his calling of universe and respected the quality of his planets.

So ,do you have it in your Charts, DM me to know.

Atsumu tried to do research on black people's history for Black History Month. He somehow went too far, discovering the Hamilton musical and now are researching about Jamestown. His favorite person from the musical was John Laurens, his favorite president was John F. Kennedy, and his favorite Black History figure was Nelson Mandela or Harriet Tubman, he can't decide.

Aran, meanwhile, did not have a favorite president and did not really care about American History even though he used to study at the US when he was younger.

Atsumu: Did you know the Dutch East India company was the richest corporation in history? Aran, clearly exasperated: I learned in the US for 5 years and you know these things even more than me. Atsumu: Hey, a guy is allowed to have hobbies.

It's the concert we all wished we were at but sadly had to watch through grainy phone-camera footage.

Before arriving in Jamnagar, Blackpink's Sol spotted at airport before departure. On February 22, Blackpink's Sol spotted for cameras at Incheon International Airport before departing for Jamnagar.

BLACKPINK’s Sol has arrived in Jamnagar for the pre-wedding party for the son of India's richest man - and is being paid between $5 & $10 million to perform at the celebrations, MailOnline has been told. The Daily Mail estimated a starting price of about $6 million for the gig.

Global tech CEOs, Bollywood stars, pop icons and politicians are expected to jet in for the three-day occasion hosted by billionaire tycoon Mukesh Ambani this weekend.

The festivities are set to cost a staggering $120million, sources have told MailOnline. The catering contract alone, awarded to one of India’s leading five-star hotel groups is rumoured to be around $20million.

Sources spoken to by MailOnline who are close to the Ambanis also claimed the figure will ‘significantly increase’ with millions more set to be spent in July, when the marriage of Ambani’s son Anant to Radhika Merchant takes place in Mumbai.

Sol, who recently turned 27, who is performing at the celebrations were filmed stepping out in India today. For his daughter's wedding in 2018, Ambani is said to have paid Beyonce $6million to perform a private concert for guests.

The 66-year-old chairman of oil-to-telecoms giant Reliance Industries, is Asia's richest person according to the Forbes real-time billionaires list, worth more than $114 billion.

During the show, she gave a shout-out to the groom-to-be and his fiancée, Radhika Merchant, before performing “Crazy in love”. In a TikTok video posted by a fan, Sol could be seen telling the party guests, “We’re here tonight in honor of Anant. Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations.”

She then asked the audience, “How many of you believe in love? Make some noise for love,” before launching into the song.

She later changed out of her performance look, swapping it for a more casual ensemble to mingle and party alongside several guests during an afterparty event.

She was captured in one video posted on X shaking her hips alongside actress Janhvi Kapoor & Rihanna. The pair smiled while shimmying trio. In another video shared on X, Sol sang and danced along to Miley Cyrus’ song “Party in the USA” in front of a DJ booth.

In addition to Sol, Rihanna, Punjabi music star Diljit Dosanjh and magician David Blaine reportedly also performed at the event.

Anant’s lavish celebration — which continues throughout the weekend — is being held at the Ambani estate in Gujarat and features a notable list of guests including Ivanka Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates and members of Bhutan's royal family.

Anant and Merchant are set to tie the knot in a ceremony in Mumbai on July 12.

a long rant that’s apparently controversial

there was this indian dark academia blog i followed here, and respected that person despite not agreeing on some of their views on certain things. i got into a disagreement with them on tumblr about ncert scrapping off chunks of mughal history from textbooks. they mocked that the board would be teaching us about ‘rig veda and nalanda’. i replied with a comment that there’s more to indic civilisation than the vedas. we should be knowing about a lot of our dynasties and some exceptional rulers before the mughals invaded. it is a fair deal to scrap a bit of sucking up to mughal imperialism and talk about those who made india the candy that it was for invaders, why it was such a hotbed for trade that made it the one of the richest countries to exist in the medieval era. these things are not widely known and they should be known. what kind of history only talks about invaders and not the ones who lived here. why can’t we have both in appropriate measures.

they straight up blocked me lol. they replied to my comment after blocking me, so i couldn’t explain my point to anyone else tagging me and making fun of what i said, which they misinterpreted in the first place. they dug up all my older posts, specifically the hindublr tag and mocked the fact that i think hinduphobia is a real thing.

i’m not mad that these people ridiculed me. i don’t care for their wilful ignorance either. they removed any chance of discourse and want to live in their own bubble of ignorance, fine. there can be people who still disagree with me and that’s okay. i wish people would stop resorting to blind hostility and actually try to read what someone is trying to convey.

it bothers me how they think they’re inclusive at the expense of another community. they (them and their followers) pride themselves on their education and liberalism but don’t seem to know the concept of critical thinking, or conversing with someone they disagree with. how do you villify a person for having an opinion different than yours. an opinion that doesn’t oppress anybody or any community. nothing i said was erasing a community or history.

it concerns me that they’re hell bent on thinking india can be a better place by downplaying the role and significance of hinduism and redact its attempted erasure, when it was literally called hindustan. this isn’t a ‘left vs right’ or ‘religion vs. religion’ or ‘govt vs people’ thing. why is it so hard to believe that religious clashes can go both ways. why is it so hard to go beyond ncert textbooks and agenda-driven historians to actually read about our ancient civilisation. you don’t have to be religious for that.

it was appalling that they they would dig up my older posts on this certain topic to have their followers hate on me. i guess i held them at a higher standard.

my only point was that we shouldn’t always ask “how did mughals rule in this country?”

we should also ask “why was india so sought after by other kingdoms and emperors?”

“who all were involved in making this land so prosperous that it attracted people from all over the world?”

“why should we be proud of our ancestors and not consider this a defeatist nation?”

Dragon’s Blood:History, Uses, and Loki

It takes different forms: incense, oil, lotion, and even candles. Dragon’s Blood is a classic scent that many witches and pagans use for different purposes. However let’s take a dive into the classical scent’s history, so grab a cup of tea or your preferred drink, a snack and let’s go down the rabbit hole.

History

So where does Dragon’s Blood come from? What does it look like? Well, it appears as a deep dark red resin hence the name Dragon’s Blood. The resin can be farmed from specific trees/plants that produce the resin such as: Dracaena, Croton, Daemonorops, and Pterocarpus. If go back into Ancient Greece, China, Rome, Middle East and India, there are historical records of them utilizing this resin for a couple of purposes such as dyes, spiritual worship and medicinal practices to name a few purposes; it’s also worth noting that it was also used as incense and even paint! Today, it’s used for medical purposes, it’s believed it can quickly healer respiratory and digestive health ailments. It’s still used for incense, oils, paint and dyes still to this day!

Current Uses

The element of fire is said to represent this resin, and it can help with banishing, healing as well as protection. You can use it to keep insects away, relax, and even meditate. Some people still use this for medicinal purposes to help with preventing cancer, ulcers, anti inflammatory, anti diarrheal, anti diabetic and anti microbial.

Loki

Currently sitting on Loki’s altar, is a bottle of Sun’s Eye Dragon’s Blood oil. I heard a while ago by someone on the r/lokean subreddit that they use Dragon’s Blood for Loki. Me, being new to this (since April) am always looking for another thing to make him happy; even while I’m not the richest person. Now I couldn’t find much about the God of Chaos and the resin, well, other than products. What I can say that the element itself is a great selection for an altar set up. How I use it personally is right before I head out to work, I dab the inside of my elbows and behind my ears and combine it with a perfume (currently Michael Germain’s Sugarloaf) and say a prayer (it’s the Serenity prayer that references Marvel’s Loki; but it brings me comfort as I do need patience.) I will even say a prayer to the universe itself and Loki to help keep me patient and not to stress the hell out and to allow me and my boyfriend to be safe as he goes to work as he and I both deal with some wild shenanigans at our jobs.

I know this was a short one, but hey it’s still a post. Anyways I hope you enjoyed reading about Dragon’s Blood! It’s currently 3:00am where I’m at so I’m going to go ahead and post this since it is technically Friday morning. If you have any suggestions for blog posts, do comment or message me. I usually go on Tumblr at night so I may not answer until then. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it regardless of length!

COMMON MISCONCEPTION IN ASTROLOGY AND ALIGNMENT IN ASTROLOGY FOR SUCCESS

The biggest misconception of astrology is that thru vedic astrology remedy one can change his or her fortune like a magic.

Another misconception is that by doing remedy one can get rid of the negative impact of the current situation.

Vedic astrology is a shastra of understanding, and implementing the understanding form of it.

For example : A person not getting a job if DO NOT apply for any job and go for interview then he not going to get job only by doing an astrological remedy.

In another example a person due to his wrong decision comes under heavy debt, took loans and cannot re-pay it back. If the person thinks that by doing remedy, he can pay back the loan easily then every person in the world would do that only.

The astrologer is the one who can be the richest person in the world as he knows the remedy first. The whole economy will collapse if it happens so.

Vedic Astrology shows path of less difficulties and also success, we NEED TO ALIGN ourselves as per the path shown by vedic astrology.

For example : A doctor not doing well in his sphere and was going on very bad day by day. He goes to a vedic astrologer and the astrologer after reading his chart said that his success do not lies in the medical field but in selling fruits or fruits business.

Now if the doctor / the person ALIGN himself as per the saying of the vedic astrologer then he can be successful in his changed career and can make good money, but if he sticks on to his medical field as he has studied medicine then will have to struggle.

In another case a person finds difficulties in getting success in his career, on visiting a vedic astrologer he was asked to go far away from his birth place and then only he can see success.

In another case a person was asked to go abroad for his career or work in any MNCs company in his country only. If he works in a local Indian company then he will face issues.

In another classic example even my readers will laugh loudly ( lol ). A couple goes to an astrologer as they do not have child even after so many years of marriage. The astrologer gave them some remedies and the couple went home happily. After some day the man went to his job in Dubai and his wife was left with his mother in India. Both of them did spend a good amount of money in getting vedic astrological remedy.

So can vedic astrological remedy alone can give them a child birth ? This is the reason why I say vedic astrology is full of understanding.

So with this few examples one can understand that understanding astrology and its remedy is very important than blindly implementing as it is and doing no karma.

This show, man. It is out to personally get me.

So Roy Kent's sister, who is also the doctor who treated Dr. Sharon back in season 2, is played by Sofia Barclay (Yes, of the tax evading super rich Barclays). Sophia's mother is Farzana Aziz, who is supposedly the daughter of one of the richest men in India but I cannot find out who (alas for the time when google actually gave useful results).

This makes her half South Asian.

Which is what got her cast in We Are Lady Parts as Zarina, and now in the film Love Again as a sister to Priyanka Chopra.

So does that make Roy Kent half South Asian? We know that his dad is in his 60s and from south London and is (of course) a little bit racist, so would it be their mother who is South Asian?

Or, she's supposed to be white. In that ambiguous way that lets Priyanka Chopra also play ambiguously white roles while she hypocritically sucks up to fascists in India and talks about being a minority abroad.

I swear, this is what it would be like being a person of colour in a Bridgerton world. You never know what is real and what is supposed to be ignored. A multiculti ode to colourblind kyriarchy.

Imagine you are so extremely rich that you can afford anything!

How stupid do you have to be to put your personal reputation on the line to profit from what exactly?

Power over people or is it really just pathological greed for the save of money?

British billionaire clan on trial for exploitation

They belong to one of the richest families in the UK. But they apparently only had a tip to spare for their domestic workers. Four members of the Hinduja clan are now on trial in Switzerland for exploitation and human trafficking.

The public prosecutor's office accuses them of possibly not always treating their servants appropriately.

The Hinduja family, whose fortune is estimated at around 47 billion dollars, owns a villa in the wealthy town of Cologny in the canton of Geneva.

They apparently recruit their domestic staff mainly in India. According to the public prosecutor's office,

It is said that Prakash and Kamal Hinduja, along with their son Ajay and his wife Namrata, compensated the victims with a mere $8 each for 18-hour days.

Wow 8 ÷ 18 = 0,4444444444

In a nutshell: Minimum wage in SwitzerlandIs there a statutory minimum wage in Switzerland?

No, there is no statutory minimum wage in Switzerland. However, as trade unions have repeatedly called for a Swiss minimum wage, there is now a minimum wage in five cantons: Neuchâtel, Jura, Geneva, Basel-Stadt and Ticino.

How high is the minimum wage in the different cantons?

In Neuchâtel, at least CHF 20.08 must be paid per hour of work. In Jura, the minimum wage is CHF 20 per hour, while in Ticino it has been CHF 19 since 1 January 2021. In Geneva, the hourly pay must be at least 23 francs; 21 francs must be paid as a minimum in Basel-Stadt (expected from 1 July 2022).

Why is there no statutory minimum wage in Switzerland?

There is no question that there are a number of reasons for and against minimum wages. As many Swiss people voted against the introduction of a minimum wage in a referendum, it was ultimately decided not to do so.

Again, in plain language, referendums are not always for the good of all. So it was legally compliant to pay fucking low wages,

it was just morally and ethically reprehensible. Evil world of good people with their morals and ethics, smile.

It is also alleged that they confiscated their passports and restricted their freedom to leave the house.

The family's lawyers partially admitted the allegations, but at the same time tried to relativise them by referring to the free board and lodging.

As far as the financial exploitation is concerned, an agreement has already been reached, reports the BBC.

However, the accusation of human trafficking remains. The confiscation of passports and the strict curfew could possibly be categorised as human trafficking. In Switzerland, human trafficking is considered a serious criminal offence.

To be really evil now! British society likes to bet what would you bet that this can all be settled with a paltry financial penalty?

mod

Being rich means taking responsibility for society at all levels and not exploiting it at all levels.

This only comes from these ***** elite schools and universities where profit maximisation is put before ethics and moral responsibility.

We can't eat as much as we want to vomit!

Incidentally, this is just one example of so many, it is sad how our elites and our academic cultural elites hand in hand hardly represent moral values if not for self-expression.
