not so friendly reminder with diwali coming up that the swastika (swuhs-theek-ahh) is of vedic origin, and it's a symbol of well-being, auspiciousness, and prosperity in hinduism, jainism, and buddhism. it's still common in nepal, mongolia, china, japan, and, most famously, india.
it's been around since 500 BC, and germany appropriated it, making it a symbol of hate.
the symbol on the right? THIS is not offensive. it's stolen culture. please be fully informed before you make any accusations this upcoming holiday season.

“Mughals did not colonise India.”
But what exactly is colonisation?
- Colonisation, ˌkɑːlənəˈzeɪʃn: The act of taking control of an area or a country that is not your own, especially using force, and sending people from your own country to live there.
One of the most famous and understandable example of colonisation for Indians is the British colonisation that we personally suffered through.
British colonisation shows interesting parallels to Mughal rule and invasion into India where they imposed their language, their rule and taxed people harshly while putting people through hellish famines that wiped out millions and didn’t provide aid or proper help to the starving population but the only difference is that the Mughals ruled India for a far longer period of time than the British so the impacts are more deeply entrenched in the Indian society.
There are of course “self proclaimed intellectuals” on social media who suck up to the former colonisers and harp about how the mughals didn’t colonise us which my friends is another example of suffering through a post colonial world. The victims of colonisation are so thoroughly subverted through textbooks and distorted and white washed history written by marxist historians that they cannot see through the lies and the moment they see someone pointing out the effects of colonisation they see their world crumbling and so they strike back in desperation to protect their masters and lords who they have been told were the absolute paragons of virtue.
So let’s see how the Mughals colonised India -
1. They were not just invaders. They didn’t just invade India, loot our wealth and walk out of here. They stayed. They stayed, occupied and controlled Indian territories by supplanting indigenous leaders and kings. Lol we don’t even need to go any further, the first point itself ends all arguments on this topic but this is tumblr (derogatory) so let’s go onto the second point 🤡
2. They imposed their language and their culture on the people of India. Farsi was the official language of the mughal court and you can see the effects of this even today in the languages spoken inside India. The Urdu language was also born through this mixture of farsi, prakrit and arabic. Brought in by the Mughals and the foreigners they appointed as officials in their courts.
3. Racism. As I’ve pointed out in my previous posts mughals were extremely racist towards Indians and they had no love for this land or it’s just inhabitants. Even newly converted muslims from the hindu population were considered inferior to the Persian, turkik or central asian lot in the Mughal empire.
4. Destruction of societal fabric and religions - as we all know that Mughals were muslims and adherents of Islam. They imposed heavy taxes on Hindus and non muslims called Jijya which resulted in the slow breakdown of the societal fabric of this country as people became poorer and the mughal court acted as a leech towards the society and its subjects. The jijya tax also provided the Mughal empire with fresh crop of converts every year as many people were too poor to pay the tax and most were tired of the humiliation they faced being non Muslims under the tyrants and so they gave up their ancient religions and converted to Islam.
5. Destruction of religious institutions. Mughal rulers are famous for wiping out temples and massacring the locals of those places. They have bragged about breaking the idols and temples of the infidels of India in their own records written by their court historians. It’s available in primary sources.
and these are just some points that I could jot down from memory..If I were to go any deeper I’m afraid the list will be endless.
So I am linking down some posts I and other blogs on tumblr have made on these topics which are backed by primary sources from Mughal documents written by the Mughal historians and Mughal rulers themselves. Do read it if you want to know in detail about Mughal colonisation and Mughal rule and atrocities on Indians ~
Myths and Truths of the Mughal Era
Hindu genocide under Mughal rule and Islamic invaders
Kashmiri hindu genocide and it’s history
Atrocities by Aurangzeb the Mughal ruler
Jauhar - sacrifices of women in a civilisation under siege
The fact that I’ve to make posts like these again and again shows just how shameful the genocide deniers and the ones who for some reason love to downplay our sufferings are. They face no consequences for it. I’m sick and tired of this…..
I hope this posts helps to dispel any notion of sympathy or delusions for the colonisers of India.
“You may call me a hindu nationalist for speaking the truth but I will never cower under the fear of being labelled. Our ancestors have given their blood to be able to speak it freely.”

my initial interpretation of the album is that there are two parallel storylines: one is about her insanity (her rebound) and the other is about what got her there (the demise of her relationship). the album tries to prove that the former was not real love. he simply gave her the attention she craved while also being just as blue and self-sabotaging as her ex. the storylines converge halfway through the album, and the rest of the songs discuss her grief, rage, perseverance, and ultimate acceptance through gritted teeth.

I just found out freaking Hans Zimmer of all people has agreed to make music with AR Rahman for the upcoming ramayana movie (I thought this whole movie was just a big rumour) and honestly my mind is blown to bits but a better choice would have been MM Keeravani because he's an expert at making music for mythology themed movies and understands Indian classical music much better than Hans Zimmer idk. hard to imagine operatic music in ramayana. keeravani, along with his usual songwriting and singing team, would have come up with some banger sanskrit songs for the final battle. but then again AR Rahman did some amazing medieval style music in ponniyin selvan, so I guess there's still hope
(I still don't know if Hans Zimmer is just, like, mildly interested or has already signed the contract and all)
