🧵Identity Fusion and Abrahmic Religions
#IdentyFusion 
Why Abrahmics get so fiercely loyal to their religious group they're willing to sacrifice anything? 
We'll, It's called Identity Fusion. 
++++

It's when your personal identity and your group's identity become one. You feel a profound sense of belonging. 
#IdentityFusion #GroupPsychology 
++++

When identity fuses, loyalty goes through the roof! People are ready to make extreme sacrifices for the group. It's a powerful force, rooted in the idea that we get part of our self-worth from the groups we belong to. 🛡️
++++

Now, let's look at this through the lens of Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). Identity fusion plays a huge role in how followers see their faith and react to conflicts. 🤔
++++

#1 Strong In-Group: These faiths often create a powerful "us vs. them" mentality. If your identity is fused with the faith, you feel a sacred duty to protect your community against any perceived threat. The loyalty is intense. ⚔️
++++

#2 Moral Imperatives: Many religious teachings stress justice and community protection. When identity is fused, defending the group becomes a moral obligation. This feeling can easily spark collective, retaliatory actions—like mob behavior—against perceived injustices. 😠
++++

#3 Collective Emotions: Fusion acts like an emotional amplifier. In a crowd, feelings like anger or righteousness get stronger, pushing people to act together quickly in defense of the group—even if the threat is just imagined. 
++++

#4 Narratives & Influence: Leaders can use powerful religious stories that deeply resonate with fused identities, urging people to collective action. Plus, seeing others join in (social proof) makes the behavior feel normal and acceptable. 
++++

In Summary: Identity fusion with a religious group can turn simple beliefs into powerful, sometimes volatile, collective action.

🕉️ | Ravindra Jain’s Music & the Ram Mandir Movement
Ravindra Jain didn’t just compose songs—he gave the Ram Mandir movement its emotional voice. His bhajans for the 1987 Ramayan TV series became the soundtrack of devotion. 🧵👇
#JaiShriRam 
++++

Ramayan’s Musical Soul Jain’s bhajans, like Mangal Bhavan Amangal Haari, turned the Ramayan into a spiritual experience. His music made Lord Rama’s story feel personal and sacred for millions.
++++

From TV to Rallies These bhajans weren’t just for TV—they became rally anthems during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement. His tunes united people with devotion and purpose.
++++

Legacy Lives On Even after his death in 2015, Jain’s music continues to echo in Ayodhya. New albums use his compositions to celebrate the temple’s journey.
++++

A True Rambhakt Jain’s deep love for Lord Rama shone through every note. His music sparked a cultural awakening that helped shape the movement.
++++

Why It Matters Before politics, there was emotion. Ravindra Jain gave the Ram Mandir movement its heart—and that heart still beats in every bhajan.

His harmonium may have stopped, but his bhajans still echo in Ayodhya—and in the hearts of millions.

🧵 Pakistan’s First Covert Operation
#RaidersInKashmirBook
Most people think the 1947–48 Kashmir conflict was a spontaneous tribal uprising. It wasn’t.
It was Pakistan’s first military operation—planned, armed, and executed by its own officers. 
Let’s unpack. 👇
++++

📜 The Plan:
Pakistani officer Akbar Khan secretly drafted “Plan for Kashmir”—a blueprint to invade and annex the princely state using tribal militias.
His goal: capture Srinagar before India could intervene.
++++


🧠 The Mastermind:
Akbar Khan wasn’t rogue. He had support from top Pakistani officials—including military brass and political leaders.
His memoirs later revealed the full extent of state involvement.
++++

🗡️ The Raiders:
Thousands of tribal fighters were armed, trained, and sent across the border. They looted, killed, and advanced rapidly reaching Baramulla, just 50 km from Srinagar.
++++

The Turning Point:
Faced with collapse, Maharaja Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession to India.
India airlifted troops to Srinagar—a historic military gamble that paid off.
++++

⚔️ The Fightback:
Indian forces pushed back the raiders, securing the Valley.
The war ended with an UN-mediated ceasefire—but the scars remain.
++++

🕵️‍♂️ The Cover-Up:
Pakistan later claimed it was a “tribal revolt.” But Akbar Khan’s own confessions—and declassified documents—expose the truth: it was a state-sponsored invasion.
++++

📚 Why It Matters:
This wasn’t just a border skirmish.
It was the beginning of a decades-long conflict, rooted in deception and denial. Understanding 1948 is key to understanding Kashmir today.
++++

🎯 Final Thought:
History isn’t just about dates—it’s about accountability. The truth of 1948 challenges the myths that still shape public discourse.
Let’s keep digging.
Let’s keep questioning.

📚 Book Summary & Recommendation: Riots and Wrongs by R.N.P. Singh 
#BookRecommendation
#RNPsingh
Meet R.N.P. Singh: ex-Intelligence Bureau officer, recipient of the President’s Police Medal & Indian Police Medal, and Senior Fellow at the Vivekananda International Foundation. 
++

Singh’s Riots and Wrongs (2004) is a deep dive into Hindu-Muslim communal riots in India, blending historical research with firsthand professional insight. It’s structured to analyze both the events and the systemic failures surrounding them.
++++

The subtitle, “Riots & Wrong”, Wrong,” is key:
"Riots"—chronicles factual cases & historical causes of communal violence.
"Wrong"—exposes societal misconceptions, flawed political narratives & institutional mismanagement surrounding these conflicts.
++++

The book unfolds in four focused sections:
Islam and Conflicts—historical theological context.
The Hindu-Muslim Synthesis section explores the reasons behind the frequent failure of peaceful coexistence.
Communalism and Riots—critique of one-dimensional analyses.
++++


Chronological Overview—two centuries of documented riots in India.

Singh emphasizes confronting uncomfortable truths. As K.P.S. Gill writes in the foreword, addressing religious realities and historical transgressions is crucial to solving communal polarization. 
++++

The book isn’t just history; it’s a guide for understanding patterns of violence.
If you seek:
✅ A critical, evidence-based perspective on communal tensions
✅ Insight from law enforcement & intelligence expertise.
✅ Truthful exploration beyond politically correct narratives
++

Then Riots and Wrongs is essential reading.

In short: Singh documents the riots, critiques the missteps, and urges a realistic understanding of communalism in India.

A compelling read for historians, analysts, and anyone trying to understand the forces shaping social conflict.
#CommunalTensions #IndianHistory #MustRead
📖 Strongly recommended for those interested in communal history, policy analysis, and social realism in India.

Riots and Wrongs

Many are discussing the #Pakistan-Saudi defense pact through the lens of India—but I see different. 
#DefencePact
While I have mixed feelings about the pact itself, I believe its strategic implications extend far beyond South Asia. This isn’t about India. It’s about #Iran.
++

To me, this pact looks like geopolitical cover—an attempt to position Pakistan as a proxy or pressure valve in the broader Saudi-Iranian equation. 
++++

The timing, the optics, and the language all suggest that Pakistan is being drawn into a regional balancing act, not for its own security, but to serve larger Gulf interests.
++++

And let’s not forget: Pakistan’s deep entanglements with transnational networks and ideological alignments—what some might call “masonry”—have long shaped its foreign policy posture. That pattern isn’t changing. If anything, this pact reinforces it.

Diwali Cleaning Made Easy

🎉 #Festival Tip: Outsmart #OverShopping

Over shopping is a common pitfall in many Indian households during the festive season. Here's how I stay mindful and intentional:

✅ Start with a Clear Shopping List 
I jot down only the essentials—items I truly need for the season.
++++

🚫 Create a “Do Not Buy” List 
This includes things I’m tempted to buy but don’t actually need. Seeing it written down helps curb impulse purchases.
++++

🎁 Re-Gift Thoughtfully 
I make a separate list of unused or gently used items at home that can be gifted meaningfully—books, décor, or unopened products.
++++

🪑👕 Declutter & Donate
Festivals are a great time to give back. I identify old clothes, furniture, and other usable items to donate to local NGOs or families in need.

This approach not only saves money—it brings clarity, reduces waste, and spreads joy more meaningfully.



Festival Shopping Tips

🇮🇳✈️ It’s almost comical how Pakistanis suddenly resurrect Chuck Yeager’s name post-#OperationSindoor—as if invoking him could rewrite history.
@K4anSh3r 
#IndPakWar1971 
#HVshortLessons
Quoting lines like 👇🏽without context is classic ISI-style deception warfare.
++++

Let’s unpack the lesser-known story of ego, geopolitics, and a Beechcraft that didn’t survive India’s skies.
 
Charles “Chuck” Yeager, the first man to break the sound barrier, was posted in Pakistan during the 1971 Indo-Pak war as a US military advisor.
++++

His role?
Oversee American aircraft and assist Pakistani pilots. But things didn’t go as planned.

During the war, an Indian Navy pilot—Lt. Arun Prakash (later Admiral)—destroyed Yeager’s prized #Beechcraft aircraft parked at a Pakistani airbase.
++++

Yeager was reportedly furious. The aircraft wasn’t in combat—it was parked. But war doesn’t wait for courtesy.
Yeager later interrogated Indian pilots who were shot down, and some accounts suggest he took the loss personally
++++

—blaming India for “unprovoked” aggression and even criticizing Indira Gandhi.
His tone?
Less test pilot, more bitter Cold Warrior.

Despite his legendary status, Yeager’s comments post-war were controversial. 

He claimed Pakistan “won” because India didn’t annex it—ignoring the birth of Bangladesh and Pakistan’s military collapse.
A strange take for someone who witnessed the war firsthand.

Indian veterans, however, remember Yeager’s presence as symbolic of US tilt toward Pakistan.
+++

His anger over the Beechcraft? 
Admiral Prakash, the man behind the strike, holds no grudge. “It was war,” he said.
Yeager’s legacy in aviation is undisputed. But his stint in South Asia revealed a different side—where national pride clashed with battlefield realities.
++++

India didn’t just win a war. It rewrote the map. And some egos never recovered.
So, did Yeager hold a grudge? Likely. 
But history remembers victories, not vendettas
The IAF didn’t just fight—they reshaped a region. And that’s a legacy no aircraft loss can overshadow.

🧵 Hindus Sing Amir Khusro’s Poetry Without Knowing His Hatred for Hindu Dharma
#AmirKhusro
#AmirKhusroStatements
#AmirKhusroPoetry
#ChaapTilakSabCheenli 
Hindu gurus, singers, and TV shows sing “Chaap Tilak Sab Cheen Li” as a symbol of love.
+++

Can Jews sing songs written by Nazi-aligned lyricists?
No.
But Hindus sing Khusro’s verses—because historians whitewashed his legacy.

REFERENCES of Amir Khusro Statements
👇🏽
++++

Somnath Temple – Khaza’in ul-Futuh
“The temple of Somnath was made to bow toward the Holy Mecca.”
Khusro saw temple destruction as a spiritual victory of Islam over Hinduism.
++++

Jhain Temples – Miftah-ul-Futuh

Khusro praised the burning of Hindu cities and temples.
++++

On Hindu Gods – Khaza’in ul-Futuh
“These symbols were taken out... only then did the light of Shariat shine in Hindustan.”

ILD & Pigeons: The Health Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight 🐦💀 
#Pigeon
#LungDisease
#MumbaiIssue
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) kills 45,000–50,000 people in India every year.
While not always caused by pigeons, they’re a major contributor. And yes, we’re feeding the problem.
++++

Pigeon droppings, feathers & dried urine release microscopic particles and fungal spores.
Breathe them in regularly, and the lungs start scarring. That damage doesn’t heal—it only worsens.
++++

ILD is slow suffocation.
Once lungs are fibrosed, there's no going back. Steroids, oxygen tanks, hospital visits—till the end.
+++

#FeedingPigeons = population surge = more droppings = more airborne spores.
Exposure is everywhere—balconies, railway stations, markets.
We don’t feed rats at home.
So why do we normalize feeding pigeons? They’re "flying rats" now—and they’re spreading disease.
++++

This isn’t cruelty—it’s survival.
If we care about public health, we must rethink urban pigeon feeding and start regulating.
ILD doesn’t make news.
But it’s killing quietly. 
Let’s act now, before it hits our home.
++++

📌 Solutions to Control Urban Pigeons 
Fertility Control: 
Add contraceptives to feed—studies show a 12% drop/year.
Humane and selective.

Environmental Fixes:
Netting, spikes, slippery surfaces, or gel barriers stop nesting.
++++

Deterrents:
Use falcons, play predator sounds, or apply safe chemical repellents.
Stop Feeding:
Ban pigeon feeding in public.
Improve garbage control to limit food access.

Relocate Strategically:
Traps can work in industrial zones—but without habitat control, it's not enough.
++

Unchecked pigeons = fungal spores, ILD risk, infrastructure damage, and sanitation mess.

We need policy, awareness, and action.
