The one thread binding Jewish identity and Indian Brahminism is exclusivity—you can only be born into the “chosen ones,” never converted into one. Think about it. Christianity and Islam have built their empires on conversion. Anyone can walk in, say the prayer, and instantly become one of them. But Judaism and Brahminism close the gates.Continue reading “Born Into the Chosen Ones”

If a White man converts into a Hindu, the Sanatanis clap with pride: “He has embraced Hinduism.” If some Indian’s foreign wife lights a lamp or does a puja, the Hindus beam: “See, that is the power of Sanatana Dharma.” It’s all celebration when the West bends slightly toward our rituals. Why? Because it flatters the HinduContinue reading “When a White Guru Leads the Ram Temple”

“My father passed away this evening at 11:30 PM. Unfortunately, I cannot be with him at this stage—as you had predicted. You said it would be a hard and difficult time for him for 6 to 9 months from April 25.” That was a message I received from one of my clients—a UK citizen whoContinue reading “Why Most Humans Are Scared About Death”

Hindus never miss a chance to remind the world of the atrocities they endured at the hands of the Mughals and the British. They talk of temples demolished, scriptures burned, land stolen, and communities enslaved. The narrative is clear: We were victims of ruthless invaders who destroyed our culture and dignity. But here’s the uncomfortable question—whyContinue reading “The Selective Memory of Hindu Victimhood”

Recently, a political leader made the sweeping statement: “Allah doesn’t give kids, humans produce them.” It sounds clever, almost rationalist, but the problem is that it goes against both Hindu and Islamic worldviews, as well as common human experience. In both Hinduism and Islam, children are not seen as the mechanical outcome of reproduction alone, but asContinue reading “Children: Divine Gift or Human Production?”

On an Instagram post that read: “Give Our White Nation Back” Thousands of Australians came out on the roads to protest against Indians taking their jobs. I posted my comment: “Secure your beautiful land before it is too late. All the best.” And then I got this from a college-going kid –  “The funny thingContinue reading “The narrative White people should be careful about – a warning!”

We’ve all been fed the same motivational sermon since childhood: work hard, and success will follow. It sounds noble, almost poetic. But let’s be honest—it’s the biggest lie humanity has been told. Hard work is important, no doubt. But to glorify it as the single path to success is like asking someone to cook chicken biryani withContinue reading “The Biggest Lie Ever Told: Hard Work Leads to Success”

Casteism is often difficult for the outside world to grasp. For many in the West, it feels like a relic of the past — something frozen in ancient texts, not a living, breathing reality. But in India, caste continues to shape opportunities, access, and even identity in ways that outsiders often fail to imagine. ToContinue reading “Understanding Casteism in India Through a Global Metaphor”

Congress was already on its deathbed when Modi became Prime Minister in 2014. After Dr. Manmohan Singh’s ten straight years in power, the party was left leaderless. Neither Rahul Gandhi nor Priyanka Gandhi wanted to plunge fully into politics—perhaps out of fear, or perhaps because they didn’t want to waste their youth in India’s unforgivingContinue reading “Why I Feel BJP Has Checked Rahul’s Horoscope Thoroughly”

In the language of astrology, destiny is never uniform. It shapes people in profoundly different ways, depending upon their planetary combination. Broadly speaking, I see two archetypes of horoscopes. The first is the fragile kind of strength. This is when a person shines only when the opponent is weak. Their victories are spectacular, but they depend onContinue reading “Two Kinds of Horoscopes”
