1. With the majority of Hindus suffering from a collective Indian inferiority complex, trying to act always so virtuous and enlightened, all in the hope of getting a pat on the back or even better a Nobel Peace prize from the West, they end up often promoting Hinduphobic myths... 

In the current world’s crisis of self-destruction, Hinduism is the only escape and solution to bring peace in the world, where people are looking for true spiritual freedom, which is why in this global battlefield of the Kurukshetra, Hindu temple priests, gurus, swamis and even individual Hindus should be trained in expanding Hinduism across the world like missionaries with courses, classes and also to educate new converts of the Hinduphobia taking place. Being the largest group of Indigenous people who survived, we welcome the world to become part of the Sanatan Dharma family. more @ hinduhumanrights.info/part-1-hinduph

All non-Left groups in India are dissociated from storytelling. That is an ability they refuse to build, throwing facts and figures at people lusting for blood. The youth will always have limited experience. They need ideological anchors to guide them and only a single side provides it.

There were scores of human stories to be told here. The party and its people decided to club them into numbers, save for the videos that organically went around. Anyone else would have set into motion hard footage, created posters for social media, while interviewing survivors and family members, writing about parents and humble origins in multiple publications.

Stories need platforms. Sure, large ones are being co-opted through big financial moves, but small ones are easy to build ground up. They hardly require 10-20L and a year, with someone mindful to lead it. ROI is sought before any value is offered from potential investors. The Left merely funds and creates platforms.

If your livelihood is contingent upon your views, there is no FoE. During George Floyd & Covid period left trampled upon FoE by penalizing through jobs, now in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, it is the turn of the US right.

Yet twenty years later, it was the left that somehow decided to adopt the Hindu nationalists’ view that white people shouldn’t be writing about India – that that writing constitutes “cultural appropriation” and that this is somehow supposed to be a bad thing. That I should somehow feel loyalty to this culture I didn’t grow up in rather than the one that made me who I am, because our ancestry should define us.

Hindu nationalists were Trump before Trump was cool – and it turns out they were also cancel culture before cancel culture was cool, trying to silence the white guys for writing about Indians, just as the American left somehow decided it was a good idea to do. (I don’t generally have much that’s positive to say about the Hindu nationalists, but I will give them credit for being ahead of the curve.) I would much rather stand with the real Ramakrishna in his own gender ambiguity, and with the kind and clever professor who pointed that all out.

The great acting teachers—Stanislavski, Chekhov, Adler, Zarrilli— understood this. Stanislavski said it best: technique is like grammar in poetry. You need it to function, but it's not what makes people cry in the dark of a theater... there's a moment in every great performance when you have to let go of everything you've learned.

It's like learning to ride a bicycle. You can memorize all the physics, understand balance and momentum, practice for hours with training wheels. But eventually, you have to trust something beyond conscious control. You have to surrender to the mystery.

The difference between craft and art isn't just philosophical—it's practical. Teaching someone to mix colors is one thing; teaching them to create beauty is something else entirely. You can develop an actor's voice, movement, and analysis systematically. But the creative spark that transforms competent performance into something unforgettable? That operates through different laws... But we might need to remember that technique serves a larger purpose. Beyond all the exercises and methods lies territory where actors don't just imitate human behavior but channel something deeper.
