Article 1 of the Constitution states that “India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.” It's crucial to emphasize that Article 1 of the Constitution recognizes both 'India' and 'Bharat' as official names for the country.

India to be renamed as Bharat. If our Govt. wants to erase the signs of slavery then -

Rewrite Indian constitution from Indian/ Bharata perspective. As, ''The Government of India Act, 1935 left a legacy that culminated in the Constitution of 1950.'' GOI act was an act passed by British.

What reforms we can bring in civil services and courts in India/Bharat as they were given by British.

How will a country work without courts? Laws? and civil servants?

The system of schools should also be changed to Gurukuls.

India should be out of commonwealth too!

There are so many things that should be changed if our government is changing name from India to Bharat to erase the marks of slavery.

Change the inner structure first and then change name. I will end it here, I want to write more but I think It is not the right place!

“Picking” a favorite is essentially telling people to rank things based on how much they think about them positively or love them. But you can’t quantify love and feelings, you can’t calculate love nor feelings. Making people pick “favorites” is at the end of the day, attaching the person to those favorites and ignoring all the rest. It’s also implying that only the “favorite” thing matters and they can only share the “favorite” thing when that’s not the case. Also, it’s impossible to love two things the same way or “equally”, because you can’t quantify love and ranking love is putting it in a hierarchy which all hierarchies are bad and how can you love two things that provide different feelings, desires, emotions, thoughts and energies the same? It’s impossible, the same way it’s impossible to love someone the same their whole lives, because things happen, feelings happen, people change, you change, the relationship changes throughout time, it’s a natural process.

Back to the hierarchies, picking favorites and ranking favorites is placing them in a hierarchy, it’s placing their worth, their importance, their value and how much they matter in a hierarchy. It’s ignoring all the complexities of life, humans and love and the multi-dimensionality of you and others. It’s reducing people to their “favorites” and interests.

I don’t like being told to pick favorites, because I don’t have a favorite ever. My identity and who I am doesn’t revolve around nor only consist of those “favorites”. I’m more than my “favorites”, I like and love so many more things than the “favorites”. “Favorites” is essentially forcing people into a one dimensional mold and ignoring the rest of who they are, but also telling them to do the same. You are more than your “favorites”, you are so much more. You like so much more than your “favorites” and that’s okay, you don’t have to pick and choose “favorites” and only focus on them, that’s unrealistic and unfair to you, because there is so much more to you than “favorites”, you like and love so much more than those “favorites”, you cannot be reduced to “favorites” nor words (eg: personality traits).

As a black man (brown) in Sweden I feel the weight of the extreme white supremacy that are in place here ! It’s in my blood and it’s in my air. The European colonialism are still the foundation of everything built.

I rarely watch myself get impressed by the media but this pice hit me hard!

You can skip .. think it’s not for you! Or else you can learn and to grow as a human !

It’s a video !

The Colonial Mindset and Modern Relationships

Relationship dynamics have long been influenced by historical contexts, particularly colonial history. This history, infused with Eurocentric perspectives, has inadvertently shaped the expectations men and women have of each other, as well as their respective roles in relationships. Case Study: Marriage Dynamics in the U.S. A recent study conducted in the United States illuminated a notable…

Lost Cities, Ancient Tombs from National Geographic

The settlers at Jamestown, Virginia made up the first permanent English colony in the Americas. They had a tolerable relationship with Powhatan’s people, despite the English being invaders who wouldn’t pay the contractual tribute to the tribe.

(WHAT IS IT WITH US AND TAXES?!)

Anyway, there was a drought, and the people of Jamestown ended up eating some of their fellow colonists.

My ancestors, ladies and gentlepeople, were cannibals.

I am not going to say TLT is about fossil fuels because it's about a lot of things and it's reductive to boil it down to anything, but a society fueled by necromancy/death magic/corpses is reminiscent of our society fueled by and built with petrochemicals (oil, natural gas, plastic), and given that within the necromancy framework the role of the cavalier is to be metaphorically, literally, and/or spiritually consumed, it's interesting that the first cavalier was the planet Earth. This new world is still based on devouring the planet.

Does this make Paul a metaphor for nuclear fusion I'm joking but I suppose the question Alecto must resolve is whether we can escape needing to consume to survive.* And maybe we can't - stop trying to make your carnivorous pets vegan - but can we find a method of consumption that's less destructive?

(Some people may see Paul as that answer but I am a Hater who isn't into ego death.)

#nona the ninth spoilers #nothing in this post is an original thought. I'm just Chewing #and obviously given the increasing emphasis on the characters' Maori heritage #this may come down to a colonialism vs Indigenous knowledge question which....#will be interesting to see Muir tackle as a pakeha person writing Maori characters #this is also the decolonization/unsettling question we face irl #can we abandon our extractive mindset and listen to Indigenous people to treat the land respectfully #the locked tomb #why this

Israel's terror bombing of Gaza embodies the point at which every colonial society pushes beyond its everyday calculating, self-interested brutality and enters into a death-spiral of extermination. The logic of Zionism and the Israeli state has, for all its civilised pretence, culminated in the spirit of genocide.

#Palestine #Gaza #The colonial mindset of course projects its horrors onto the defiant natives

This shouldn't be a hot take but if I replace the word "zionist" with "Jew" in you post, and it now looks like an excerpt from Mein Kampf, I don't think you can call yourself left wing anymore.

#jumblr #antisemitism #its not difficult to not be an antisemite and yet people are failing at the furst hurdle of not being a raging bigot #refusing to engage with jews when discussing a topic that affects them is literally a colonial superiority mindset thay you are better #and if you think you are more knowledgeable and intelligent and know whats best for a minortiy ethnic group #then boy (gn) have i got some news for you about colonial mindsets

The term 'Sub-Saharan' Africa is a colonial language that was used to belittle African nations south of the Sahara and to separate the other countries from North Africa– Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Sudan due to them being Arab states.

Colored, Negro, Black, Nigger

Every one of these terms come from the mindset of Europeans not Africans. Indigenous African societies do not use the term black as a racial identity outside of influences brought by Western cultures.

Contemporary anthropologists and other scientists, while recognizing the reality of biological variation between different human populations, regard the concept of a unified, distinguishable "Black race" as socially constructed.

Black is a term developed in the Colonial Assembly of Maryland, after a rebellion called Bacon's Rebellion, fought from 1676 to 1677.

The alliance between European indentured servants and Africans (a mix of indentured, enslaved, and Free Negroes) disturbed the colonial upper class. They responded by hardening the racial caste of slavery in an attempt to divide the two races from subsequent united uprisings with the passage of the Virginia Slave Codes of 1705.

White took on the meaning "British, Christian and having rights. Black meaning not having rights.

These divided the two populations, by giving poor Europeans with no power, unprecedented power over all non-Europeans.

The laws were devised to establish a greater level of control over the rising African slave population of Virginia. It also socially segregated white colonists from black enslaved persons, making them disparate groups and hindering their ability to unite. Unity of the commoners was a perceived fear of the Virginia aristocracy, who wished to prevent repeated events such as Bacon's Rebellion, occurring 29 years prior.

By refusing to call you an African, it belittles you, no such thing as black names, black land or black languages. It is like calling a woman big lips or flat butt and refusing to call the woman by her actual name. "Hey colored girl, or black boy".

In social psychology, a stereotype is a generalized belief about a particular category of people.

African populations have the highest levels of genetic variation among all humans.

Why You Probably Shouldn't Say 'Eskimo'

People in many parts of the Arctic consider Eskimo a derogatory term because it was widely used by racist, non-native colonizers. Many people also thought it meant eater of raw meat, which connoted barbarism and violence. Although the word's exact etymology is unclear, mid-century anthropologists suggested that the word came from the Latin word excommunicati, meaning the excommunicated ones, because the native people of the Canadian Arctic were not Christian.

According to the Constitution of India, we are “the people of India that is Bharat”

In English language discourse, the word ‘India’ is used and in Hindi expressions, the word ‘Bharat’ is used. The Anglicised call it ‘India’, and the indigenous call it ‘Bharat’. Our ruling class calls it ‘India’, the others, the janata, call it ‘Bharat’. It has become a trend and fashion to prefer the word ‘India’ over ‘Bharat’. We converse with the country in Hindi and other vernaculars while we govern it in English.

Japanese people usually refer to their country as Nihon or Nippon

The name "Japan" in English is derived from the Portuguese word "Japão," which was used during the 16th century when Portuguese traders and explorers first arrived in Japan. The Portuguese term "Japão" likely evolved from the Malay word "Japang" or "Japang Pulau," which referred to the Japanese archipelago.

The Japanese people themselves refer to their country as "Nihon" (日本) or "Nippon" (日本), and these terms have been used in the Japanese language for centuries.

As European seen themselves as the elites of all races and god's chosen people. They took on the mindset of what I say makes the most sense.

Renaming essentially all populations they came in contact with, using their language as opposed to learning the language of the natives.

And whatever religion or spirituality people had Europeans demonized it and forced converted people to Christianity.

damn twitter sucks

a TWOC: posts a thread talking about the hardships of transitioning as a post puberty trans woman, not to dissuade eggs but to give them advice, perspective and strength

a million white, thin trans women in the QRTS: well look at these photos, I'M pretty so you're just being a doomer, be quiet, you'll be fine

#jfc #i stg the answer to people struggling with conventional (racist/fatphobic/colonial) standards of beauty is never to reinforce them #that's always the fucking lesson #but to people for whom conventional beauty is achievable (white/thin/etc) disavowing it would be letting go of the power it lets them have #a lot of people would rather us undesirables just have a positive mindset and pretend we're desirable like them #instead of challenging desirability #transphobia #transmisogyny #fatphobia

Leftism and Zionism are fundamentally incompatible and literally everyone knows it you are not fooling anyone. You are a colonizer and genocide advocate and should be treated as such.

good job love! you learned to use buzz words!

and now for some real stuff: one, leftism is a vast spectrum, and while I never struggled to fit my desire for a national home for the Jewish people in the land of Israel with by ideals of equality, socialism and anti assholeness. It even works with my support of Palestinian people! but I honestly wonder how your support in civilians harm and your dehumanization tendencies doesn't conflict with your leftism?

two, calling Israel a colonial state is honestly wrong, as the colonizers ran away after setting the region on fire (cough Britain cough), and Liberia is honestly a much better comparison. If you wanted an honest conversation We could have talked about how Zionism developed differently in European Jews and Arabic Jews and the effects of European colonialism on this gap.

three, I honestly don't get the genocide advocate accusations from. you must be confusing me with someone else.

forth, the treatment of colonizers you believe I am worthy of, would you say the same works for the United States, Canada, Uruguay, Australia, Ecuador, Argentina, Mexico...

#ask uz #leftism #zionism #colonialism #Did you know that opposing violence makes you a genocide activist?#but seriously #it is such a western mindset to think there can be only one #you know people can share right?
