“V.D. Savarkar disagreed with those Hindus who expected much from the recognition of the common origin of Hindus and Indian Muslims: “Some well-meaning but simple-minded Hindus amuse themselves with the thought … that inasmuch as the majority of Indian Moslems also are in fact allied to us by race and language … they could easily be persuaded to acknowledge this homogeneity and even blood relation with the Hindus and merge themselves into a common National Being if but we only remind them of these affinities and appeal to them in their name. … As if the Moslems do not know it all!! The fact is that the Moslems know of these affinities all but too well: the only difference [is] that while the Hindus love these affinities which bind the Hindu to a Hindu…—the Moslems hate the very mention of them and are trying to eradicate the very memory of it all.”

“बचपन में माँ का बेटे को गले लगाना जितनी छोटी घटना है, बड़े होकर बेटे का माँ को गले लगाना उतनी ही बड़ी घटना।”
Divya Prakash Dubey, Ibnebatuti । इब्नेबतूती

“But shame is not an adequate inducement unless you voluntarily participate in being shamed. You have to take yourself far too seriously. You must become hypersensitive toward the conduct of your neighbors. You must be thin-skinned, self-conscious, and consumed with that which is beyond your immediate control. You must be miserable—or, at least, miserable to be around.”
Noah Rothman, The Rise of the New Puritans: Fighting Back Against Progressives’ War on Fun – A Witty Analysis of Wokeness, Cancel Culture, and the Threat to Liberty

“Pre-Islamic India was renowned for its universities. Great centres of learning like Nalanda, Vaishali, Sarnath, Vikramashila, Takshashila and many more—they attracted students from all over Asia and the world. Following the Islamic invasion of India, all these universities were destroyed. In the centuries following, not a single university was established by any Muslim ruler. This was a Dark Age darker than the one that overtook Europe.”294”

“The RSS attitude of spurning the intellect and denouncing the intellectuals has worked as a self-fulfilling prophecy: since they left the intellectual field entirely to their enemies, the available intellectuals would not be “of any use to the nation”, meaning not sympathizing to the RSS programme. The political Hindu movement has paid a heavy price for this silly anti-intellectual prejudice.”
