1) He’s always very vague on what that “victimhood” actually entails.
2) He’s always very vague on what he intends to do about it.
Given where his stated political sympathies lie (on the Left, with the Dynasty and the INC), it’s a safe bet that the goal of his thread is simply to pick fights with Internet Hindus while doing nothing to address said “victimhood.”

This is dumb. I think Partition was GREAT from the perspective of giving us a chance to revive and advance Hindu civilization. Why on earth would I think it was a defeat?

Yes, there is quite a bit of a lampooning of the Hindutva right in the series, although if you look for them, you will find all the tropes in media reports in recent years, so they’re not entirely unfounded. If Netflix India can get out of this unscathed, I’ll be a lot more comfortable with the present government. My feeling is that I don’t think the government will take any action as such, but certain lesser enlightened sections of society will make a lot of noise. For some reason, the show has been tagged as ‘sci-fi’ and ‘cyberpunk’ although the only technological advance in the next 30 years that I can see is holographic projections. Since the series was filmed in the Delhi/NCR region, as a Delhi’ite an added distraction for me was trying to identify the locations. One entire sequence appears to have been filmed in Nehru Place, which is just half a kilometre from where I live!
I get it. But i feel there are others aspects of the right which you can exaggerate. This sort of idea, that the Hindu right is some relic of the past which follows orthodox rituals and stuff, is the reason why the liberals are still stuck in that Piss drinker-purity tester caricature of the right. When you even dont know you enemy and how far ahead it has moved, you will get rude shocks like May 2019.
On the show getting banned or not, i feel Netflix is getting close and close but its not their yet. Its being on the streaming services allows them a certain degree of freedom and security which movies/tv serials don’t have. I would like to see what they do with Sacred games though, if they move in the direction which i think they are moving( the writer of the series is a bonafide left liberal) then all bets are off.
It’s ok, I want the Lefties to think of us as hidebound piss-drinkers (so long as we can get a counternarrative out). If they don’t take us seriously, they are certain to lose.

I feel the key to dissolving the shackles of Islam rests in anthropology as well as the creation of regenerate Art. Drama as an art form cannot exist in absence of a Natural Beauty. Islam and Chindia r conspiring to cut off tribal racial ethnic roots of Afpak peoples. This will not end well. Islam in its most fanatic form destroys Beauty whereas caste system in theory protects Culture and Beauty. China’s one belt one road is gencidal to last remaining pure ancient AryaCaucasian peoples. Hands off Afpak region Kakocratic Chindia! fyi

History lives in the blood and bones, not in a book by donkey doniger or other fraud academicians.

Domestic harmony is major plank of ideal American life as decided upon by founding fathers.
Arranged marriage or forced marriage with huge age gap is horrid. Really to get back to ideal wonder that was india we need a marriage bureau. All problems r caused by poor parenting. And beauty in absence of wealth is exploited badly. In fact, in kakistocracy that is plutocratic, Natural beauty is a liability. For shame. It really is kaljewg. Only Satguru is disease free. Ponder upon Him and become disease free. As one thinks so one becomes. “Whole body is composed of thoughts” words of Captain Mangat a retired airline pilot and now a specialist in Constellational Cultural Astronomy. (Jyotish)
Final point, the divine consorts of Satgurus of Sikhi were nothing like fugly bhappey of today. Wives of Satguru were objectively beautiful, fair/Gori/white.
Beautiful disease free individuals have an inalienable right to life upon this Earth planet. Earth is not for cannibals or dog eaters or cow killers.

Uighur author dies following detention in Chinese ‘re-education’ camp
“China initially denied the existence of the camps in the far western region of Xinjiang, which is home to about 12 million Muslims. But last year, it began rebranding them as “free vocational training”; a BBC report on Tuesday showed a teacher describing inmates as “affected by religious extremism”, and saying that the purpose of the camps was “to get rid of their extremist thoughts”. It is estimated that a million Uighurs and other Muslims are currently detained.”
