The Dharma Dispatch

Mricchakatika as an Allegory of the Emergency Shudraka's immortal Sanskrit play, Mricchakatika, written in the 5th Century, is an uncanny allegory of Indira Gandhi's emergency. The Ujjaini of Palaka, the tyrant-king is directly connected to Indira Gandhi’s autocratic democracy by an invisible historical autobahn; the parallels are surreal at every level and on every plane. If history is philosophy teaching through examples, classical literature is its storified sibling and Mricchakatika undoubtedly belongs to this rarefied pedestal. — Anything I say further will ruin the suspense.

Rahul Gandhi and General Naravane’s Book: A Rehash of the Cold War Era Script On Feb 1, the Far Left propaganda magazine The Caravan published a cover story titled Naravane's Moment of Truth in its quest to prove how "how the Modi government spun the China border crisis.” It accessed Naravane's unpublished memoir. And last week, Rahul Gandhi waved the exact same book in Parliament to echo and amplify The Caravan's scurrilous propaganda. Rahul is enacting the script of a very old game being played with very new, and very dangerous, stakes. 📑🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/commentary/rahul-gandhi-and-general-naravanes-book-a-rehash-of-the-cold-war-era-script

ದಾನಶೀಲ ಭೈರಪ್ಪನವರ ಮರ್ತ್ಯಲೋಕತ್ಯಾಗ ಈ ಸರಣಿಯ ಕಡೆಯ ಲೇಖನದಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೀ ಕಶ್ಯಪ್ ನಾಯಕರು ಭೈರಪ್ಪನವರ ದಾನಶೀಲತೆಯ ಹಲವು ಪಾರ್ಶ್ವಗಳನ್ನು ಆವಿಷ್ಕರಿಸಿ, ಅವರಿಗೆ ಆರ್ದ್ರವಾದ ಅಂಜಲಿ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಭೈರಪ್ಪನವರು ಪ್ರಚಾರಬಯಸದ ಅಪ್ಪಟ ಗುಪ್ತದಾನಿಗಳು. ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಯೊಬ್ಬನ ಬಡತನದ ಸತ್ಯಾಸತ್ಯತೆ ತಿಳಿಯುವ ಮೊದಲೇ, ಅವನ ವಿದ್ಯಾಭ್ಯಾಸ ಕುಂಠಿತವಾಗಬಾರದೆಂಬ ಕಾಳಜಿಯಿಂದ ಹಣ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ ಔದಾರ್ಯ ಅವರದ್ದು. ಭೈರಪ್ಪನವರನ್ನು ಅವರ ಆರ್ಥಿಕ ಸಂಪತ್ತಿಗಿಂತ 'ಗುಣ' ಮತ್ತು 'ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ'ದ ಮೂಲಕ ಅಳೆಯಬೇಕು. ಅವರು ಜೀವನದ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನೂ ತಮ್ಮ ಕಾದಂಬರಿಯ 'ಪಾತ್ರ'ಗಳನ್ನಾಗಿ ಕಂಡರೇ ಹೊರತು, ವೈಯಕ್ತಿಕ ರಾಗ-ದ್ವೇಷಗಳಿಂದಲ್ಲ. This is perhaps the most heartfelt tribute to Dr. S.L. Bhyrappa in recent times.

ಪರ್ವಕ್ಕೆ ತಯಾರಿ - ಪಿ.ವಿ. ಕಾಣೆಯವರ ಅಧ್ಯಯನ: ಭೈರಪ್ಪನವರ ಮಾತಿನಲ್ಲಿ “ನೋಡಿ, ನಾನು ಹೇಳ್ತೀನಿ, ನಮ್ಮ ಜನಕ್ಕೆ ರಾಮಾಯಣ ಮಹಾಭಾರತಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಬದುಕೋದು ಕಷ್ಟ. ಇವೆರಡೂ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಿವೆ. ರಾಮಾಯಣ – ಮಹಾಭಾರತ ಬಿಟ್ಟರೆ, ಭಾರತೀಯತೆಯನ್ನೇ ಬಿಡಬೇಕು. ಯಾವ ಸಾಹಿತಿ ಭಾರತೀಯತೆಗೆ ಪ್ರಾಮಾಣಿಕವಾಗಿ ಮನಸ್ಸು ಕೊಟ್ಟಿರ್ತಾನೋ, ಆತನಿಗೆ ರಾಮಾಯಣ ಮಹಾಭಾರತಗಳನ್ನು ಮುಟ್ಟದೆ ಇರೋದು ಕಷ್ಟ.

Why Shivaji is the True Shakti-Putra This is perhaps the most powerful exposition of the everlasting glory of Chhatrapati Shivaji. By the inimitable Sita Ram Goel. Here's a tiny sample. "He was the incarnation of Skanda who forced the Mleccha army to retreat. That is why we have called him ‘Shakti-putra’ and thereby given his true introduction. Shakti-putra Shivaji remains worthy of our emulation because he was not created by circumstance but by Sanatana Dharma."

Sita Ram Goel Narrates the Blazing Saga of Hindutva Shivaji’s capture of the fort named Torna was the first proclamation of the victorious campaign of Hindutva. 32 years later, when Shivaji’s grand procession passed through the markets of Bijapur, the victorious march of the Hindu nation had advanced very far. That victorious march was never again halted by the Muslims. Based on all historical evidence, the only conclusion that emerges is that the so-called Muslim era history of India is in reality the unadulterated saga of the Hindu nation's own decline and rise, defeat and valor. — One of the most powerful essays ever written. 🔥⚔🕉🛕🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/sita-ram-goel-narrates-the-blazing-saga-of-hindutva

There was Never any ‘Muslim Era’ in India It is absolutely ridiculous to conclude that there ever existed a ‘Muslim era’ in the history of India, or that the Muslim emperors were ‘Indian emperors’. The period that is called the ‘Muslim era’ was, in reality, the era of continuous struggle between the self-protecting Hindu race and the invading Muslim aggressors. In that struggle, victory ultimately belonged to the Hindus alone. Hindus never, even for a single moment, turned their face away from the struggle against the Muslim invaders. — Sita Ram Goel at his fiery best!

The Common Hindu Never Accepted Alien Muslim Rule as Indigenous Sita Ram Goel conclusively proves how the ordinary Hindu always knew the true history of his country and culture contrary to colonial and Marxist fabrications. This is Goel's most insightful point: The Hindu religion, Hindu conduct and traditions cannot even be imagined by disregarding the geography of India. Muslims and Christians can naturally abandon the birthplaces of their respective faiths and flourish in foreign lands. But for the Hindu alone, the land of India will remain both his field of Dharma and his Kurukshetra. —— Do read the stellar piece in full! 🙏🔥🕉🛕🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/the-common-hindu-never-accepted-alien-muslim-rule-as-indigenous

Nawab Nehru’s Undying Love for Muslim Despotism Exposed Threadbare Sita Ram Goel brings a wealth of evidence to prove Nawab Nehru's limitless love for Muslim rule. It is incredible to believe that Nehru who was clueless about pretty much every subject, waxed eloquent on...architecture! He invented something called an Indo-Muslim architecture! Sita Ram Goel correctly assesses his pretensions: "What real connection could a heartless, utterly tasteless and crude man like Nehru possibly have with architecture and art?" -- The whole essay is delicious.

Never Forget! How Mahmud of Ghazni Devastated the Original Somanatha Temple The following is the full description of the original Somanatha Temple. The Somanatha Temple stood on huge blocks of stone, and its roof was supported by 56 wooden pillars carved and set with precious stones. The pyramidal roof was made of 13 stories, and was surmounted by fourteen golden domes. The girth of the linga was 4 feet 6 inches, and its height above the base was 7 feet 6 inches. A portion of the linga, 6 feet in height, was hidden beneath the base. Mahmud of Ghazni annihilated all this painstaking work done over the course of centuries in one savage sweep of the sword and blaze of the fire. NEVER FORGET this story if you want to remain a Hindu! 🔥🙏🪔🛕🕉 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/never-forget-how-mahmud-of-ghazni-devastated-the-original-somanatha-temple
