1/25

@AsimAli6's thread is spot on. He looks inside the minds of Hindutvadis.

Here are my observations on this topic.

If you noticed, the loudest screams of Love Jihad come from states that are largely.... vegetarian.

Also Indian/Hindu society is highly repressive. https://twitter.com/AsimAli6/status/1316628562850451456

I already wrote on this matter in detail in 2 threads.

It's just Victorian British culture which is being repackaged as "Indian Culture".

Despite the extreme emphasis on sanskaar, why is India the third largest
4/25

What you create with extreme restrictions ("don't talk to girls/boys", "don't ask sex questions", "don't go on a date", "don't talk back to elders", etc.) is a dysfunctional society.

That India chugged along for so long with such restrictions is a miracle in itself.
5/25

This is particularly true for Hindu families, that too upper-caste vegetarian Hindu families. Their kids are mostly robots/automatons that do some job which will eventually be replaced by automation.

Girls from such families particularly face a lot of pressure.
6/25

It's not independent thought and liberty but extreme restrictions at home which make such girls vulnerable in the first place.

Indian Muslims and Sikhs control their daughters too. I've also seen Indian Christians who blackmail their daughters into arranged marriages.
7/25

You get the idea now: Indian society is highly repressive.

But Hindus go several steps ahead of the rest and turn their sons into shy men who struggle to speak to women. You can easily notice this when an Indian man approaches a foreigner to ask her out for a date.
8/25

Contrast that to, say an Italian man who literally wins the battle before asking a woman out on a date.

In comparison, Tamil men are better than the rest in this regard because they start out with workplace friendships. Then they extend it to small acts of help and gifts.
9/25

Before extending it even further. But at least Tamil men are willing to take the plunge even if their parents throw the spanner in the works in the end while others stay far away.

Tamil Nadu is a conservative state so people end up marrying the traditional way mostly.
10/25

In this regard, Kerala is quite liberal so Malayalees have a better chance because Malayalee parents wouldn't be as restrictive and picky as Tamil parents.

On the other extreme, boys from the rest of India are allowed to get away with bad and even cheap behavior.
11/25

Being a shut-in weirdo and a serial wanker won't attract girls of any shade towards you. Being a disgusting creep will push them away too.

Hindus, particularly upper-caste vegetarian Hindus, prefer to conveniently deflect from this truth by bringing up Love Jihad.
12/25

However Muslims give legitimacy to such claims in their own ways: Any Hindu man who falls in love with a Muslim woman is certainly courting trouble. I completely agree with @sanjukta. Read her thread here.

Indians seem to love living in denial.
13/25

Indeed, what's ironic - and at the same time tragic - is that the strongest defenders of India's Muslim community are Hindu men whose wives are Muslims. See @AdityaMenon22.

At the very least, they're staunchly secular. See @shirishkunder, @dineshgrao and @SachinPilot.
14/25

If anything, I believe this should've been welcomed as it's the most effective deterrent to Hindutva.

Of course, I know Sanghis will try to infiltrate this space as they hate anything remotely nice. I'm not too sure of the exact stats though, as I'm out of touch.
15/25

But I was talking about my personal observations in general.

Why does this trouble arise for upper-caste vegetarian Hindus?

They're the victims of their own propaganda:
1. Vegetarianism is superior.
2. Upper castes are superior.
3. Hinduism is superior.
.... and so on.
16/25

They expose themselves for all to see and then they complain about what follows.

In my view, vegetarian diet is inadequate and empty. If it's your personal choice, I'd say you made a poor choice, like supporting the French rugby team, but I'd still respect that!
17/25

It's when you impose notions of superiority that vegetarianism becomes an eyesore to demolish.

All that aside, if you want strength and nutrition, there's no choice but to eat meat. And no, eggs, bird meat and mutton alone don't provide enough nutrients for anything.
18/25

Eggs and fish are good to eat everyday, they provide Vitamins, mainly Vitamin B12, but for those who want to build a lean and strong body, beef and pork are a must. Crocodile and horse meat are better than beef but the problem is that they're banned in most countries.
19/25

Luckily I had crocodile meat when I was in Australia. I could feel its impact when I ate it regularly.

Vegetarian diet lacks Vitamin B12. This explains why a lot of them lose their senses and become more neurotic as they age.

Veganism is vegetarianism on steroids.
20/25

Vitamin B12 supplements also come from the wastes of slaughterhouses, so if you ask me, it's best to go directly for meat itself.

States where meat is eaten regularly don't see as many complaints of Love Jihad because they're usually healthier than vegetarian states.
21/25

States where at least 90-95% of the people are meat-eaters don't complain about such issues because they usually don't have time to waste.

If in doubt, see the focus of popular media outlets in North India (MSM/social media) and contrast it to the same in Tamil Nadu.
22/25

In Tamil Nadu, while upper castes (from all religions) definitely make their way into the intelligentsia, they don't have the entire space to themselves to do as they please as in North India.

Common day-to-day issues receive maximum focus instead. That's what matters.
25/25

As you can see, there's lots of trouble. Indian society is largely broken.

This is why I insist on diet. There's good reason to believe changing food habits and behavior will end a lot of issues.

This is the end of my thread.

Thank you all for reading. Have a nice day.
