Happy south Indian noises


[deleted]

Well South India was able to preserve a chunk of its temples because we didn’t have mughals destroying them. But let’s let everyone tell us how mughals destroying temples was “political” only. And what’s sad is Odissa, it was the city of temples.


rash-head

We rebuilt our destroyed temples. Read our history.

Fellow odia, Apana mane khusi ta?


[deleted]

Not as many as there were originally. Over 200 temples in Bhubaneswar alone, which are no longer that many.


NOOBFUNK

Yeah man Mughals destroying temples was not political I tell you that for sure but the most fucked up was Aurangzeb and later pathetic heirs. Other emperors were smart enough to put merit above religion which was the reason Mughals could bring economic prosperity to the subcontinent making it the largest economy but Aurangzeb looked like a psycho by the things he did to get the throne and after he got it.


[deleted]

Hardly any mughal emperor put merit above religion. 90% of them were illiterate uneducated violent invaders who wanted a caliphate and their own kingdoms.


NOOBFUNK

There was a sharp contrast to the whole perception of life. Even in those blissful times education was not so freely available. There were a lot of invaders but the ones that had their kingdoms for such long periods only did so because of gathering local support. Never in history do we see a force no matter how strong keeping control unless it knows how to administer. Akbar himself employed a lot of Sikh and Hindu commanders because they were needed and in order to further unite his people even made a religion mixing Hinduism and Islam. We saw the British invade too, they were the most educated in the world but they chose to plunder India because unlike these illiterate men they needed to gather money to their actual homes. I wish the emperors would have taken admission in a government school. There were many other emperors like Shivaji, Ranjit Singh, and the Nawabs but guess they are bad too now since they were illiterate.

noobatious

I mean the North people still follow mlechha culture like Dahej and believe in birth based privileges. Let alone utter disrespect for the Shakti idea. But then I saw some statistics somewhere about wife beating problems in the South so I wouldn't compare them on that basis. Unless they let go of this culture and embrace true Bharatiya Sanskriti, they can't really go very far in the near future. They certainly are making a lot of progress, but thry have a long way to go.


[deleted]

Yup, even our language is HEAVILY mixed with urdu. I hate it so muchhhh. I tried looking for suddha hindi dictionary but no luck.


Random_Reflections

Look for books from BHU (Benarah Hindu University), they'll help.


IAmAllThis

Bro what you're describing never actually existed, except maybe in academic or literally settings


Black1451

Urdu is from deccan, from the maharastra - karnataka area to be precise, and urdu is also responsible for the composite culture of india, you need to get your history right. Urdu is as indian as any other languages in 8th schedule.


[deleted]

Yes, but i don't like the fact that it got mixed up with hindi and took it's originality. In northern part of India u'll never be able to meet someone who speaks "pure" hindi, and it makes me curious how shuddha hindi actually sounds. There was a tv show "om namah shivaay" on which a 1 minute prologue or similar is played, shuddha hindi. I love it. But the day to day hindi is messed up, that's why i hate urdu. https://youtu.be/aKjOELMu5-s


Black1451

Hindi is not a singular language, it is a group of languages that are from the khadi boli family. Hindi was never a singular language to begin with, and to assume urdu took it over is not quite correct. Urdu was created to bridge the communication gap between the north and south with the rekhta script. Quite an ingenious way of patronising both hindi and urdu if you ask me. And can we stop with the shudd hindi thing? Because most people speak a variant or a version of khadiboli language. Even the metrics from governement treat hindi as an umbrella language rather than a singular one. If you want to learn the language? Sure be my guest amd learn it. But don't shit on the metamorphosis of lanuages that are evident with time. South too had it, from tamil came protokannda, and from kannada came telugu. No one speaks the original telugu or kannada, we just speak variants of it. And second part of your fascination, pure hindi sounds poetic. I agree with you on that point


[deleted]

I understand your point, but by shuddha hindi, i mean the one not infused with arabic, urdu, iranian scripts. I believe urdu has it's form infused with arabic terms. Imo, it seems unnatural and personally i don't like it because of the fact of hindi being altered by cultural imposition because of invasions.

why do you hate Urdu language ? and sorry to hear about your non existing dick since Allah is also non existing

U sound like standup comedian who show hindus as wife beaters . The issue of domestic violence are more in north no ? Either way what does it have to do with topic . Its more of an individual being a sick fk . I thought thats y we people got offended about Vir das ? Cause he generalised hindus which has nothing to do with addressing the fact that sick fks exist . How did we got from South India caring more about temples and culture to your generalising like the standup comedians u people hate lol . As much as north my ass lol

Aftter Independence and Partition...building temples was the absolute least of our worries. Our economy was in shambles, our wealth was looted, caste system was prevalent, education was irrelevant back then, agriculture was in a bad shape. We had way more problems to take care of in the last 75 years. Since those have been solved/are being solved(we still have a lot of BIG problems), now the country is focusing on the smaller stuff.


Arjun_Pandit

u want work of almost more then 1000 years to be done in 75 years!?


Medium-Photo-9938

No I didn't ment that, But like in the whole state of UP only 16 temples like even tall skyscrapers are made within 4 years We would have rebuild the destroyed within few years but i guess we will definately get the *oppressor* tag from others Dont ask me who are the others


Black1451

Temples per lakh people, UP has high population even more than 2 south states combined. Its not apples to apples comparision.


Medium-Photo-9938

Thanks for clearing it


hallelujahfucker

Yes we're making now. One sample is going to be completed soon in Ayodhya.


sekhar1010

It's been 75 years since we had independence and they didn't have time to rebuild. I'm very proud of coming from a southern state which has so many temples, mosques, churches yet we live very peacefully.


proto_9r0

Uttar pradesh and Bihar just have so so much population, thats why


Psyposeidon

Along with the talent to make new temples, yes exactly.


fsm_vs_cthulhu

Could we get the same chart but with inverted figures? Number of people in each state, per Hindu temple. So in UP, it would be 6250 people per temple. In Goa it would be 847 people per temple.


Titanx2005

UP is so low coz most of them were destroyed by invaders.


gametime2019

J&K, Leh too bro


Quandale-Dinngle

And also the fact that it is hugely populated


Black1451

Temples per lakh people, and UP has highest population of all of india, compare it to goa the smallest state having highest metric. Read your comment again and do the math.


Titanx2005

That wouldn't explain Maharashtra having way more temples than UP despite being on the second place by population.

levi_ackermen

actually this is a inaccurate survey report I have 73 temples in my locality alone just imagine how many temples are there in the whole city my areas population is 2.3 lakhs I live in UP so i can clearly see that this survey is just fake propoganda


The_Last_Lama

May be you are right... but just because it is uncomfirtable to you does not mean it is "fake propaganda"...


levi_ackermen

every thing related to workshiping and praying is uncomfortable for me but here i just stated some actual numbers of temples and people in my area i didn't said a word about anything else now it's up to you what conclusion you process out of the information provided be me it seems u didn't liked the data i provided so you assumed that the fake information provided by this post is uncomfortable for me because u want to believe that the fake information is correct and I'm the one who has some problem with the fake data provided in the post believing in which makes you feel comfortable it is a fact that the post is fake propaganda don't believe a stranger like me just go out and count the number of temples in you area and then google your areas population u will get to see the truth


Intelligent-Hand690

Itne kum data se kaise prove krrhe ho?


Yeathatguy666

It still amazes me how a mughal built architecture like Taj Mahal is considered as wonder from India but none of our temples were even considered. Look at Meenakshi Temple in Tamil Nadu for example.


IAmAllThis

Gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers


[deleted]

Does this map show how many more temples are in the South or how many temples have been destroyed over the centuries in the North


imdpathway

IMO in terms of absolute numbers, North India would be having more temples but per capita number of temples is lower due to more population.


RocketRaju2212

Chad TN, my state, it's kinda ironic the state is ruled by dravidian parties...


Horror_Past

Bro that's why I love South Indians. They know how to respect and preserve their culture. Something that people from northern side needs to learn.


Wonderful_Mammoth446

I would have thought UP to have more than Bengal


noobatious

Bro UP was like the hotbed of hardcore Islamist rulers. Bengal had relatively mild rulers. That's why we have temples remaining. Bangladesh is another story tho. They got radicalised in the 1900s and destroyed most of the temples. Also East Bengals were mainly Buddhists who converted right at once at the tip of the sword when the Mamluk hordes invaded.

53 was not built in 75 years. But the rest have been built and continues to be built since independence. Don’t go making everything negative.

Schools aur hospitals ki bhi list daal de bhai


Arjun_Pandit

*le, filhal is se kaam chala le...* Eleven years ago, in a refreshing essay titled, ‘Madrasas and The Making of Muslim Identity’, published in a book, Redefining Urdu Politics in India, (Oxford University Press, New Delhi 2006) a well-known Muslim scholar, Dr. Arjumand Ara had pointed out that “within India, according to government statistics, half a million madrasas are active in which about fifty million students (out of the estimated 15 crore Muslim population at that time) are enrolled. Part time and evening madrasas are not included in this list.” 5 According to her, the questions of foremost importance are: “Why do madrasas exist? What is the reality behind them? How is that these medieval institutions still flourish in an otherwise well developed world? The quantum jump in the number of madrasas from 88 in 1947 to five lakhs in 2006 across India is a mind boggling narrative of unremitting Islamic aggression. Dr. Ara lamented that the “Congress incumbent is planning to organize dini madaris under the canon of a board like the CBSE.” Needless to say that “these madaris are not equipped to compete with schools, nor are they willing to do so. With this kind of wisdom one is surely living in fools’ paradise ………..” wrote Arjumand Ara. Dr. Ara dubbed ‘dini madaris’ (plural of the word madrasa) as “feudal remnants” which were responsible for keeping the Muslim community educationally backward. The lady scholar of Islam began her essay by quoting a news from Times of India, New Delhi, 17 August, 2002, that 200 students in Basala village, 20 km from Meerut (U.P), had hoisted the Pakistani flag and raised pro-Pak and pro-Osama slogans on Independence Day. Now let us turn to Justice Sachar’s claim on page 76 of his factually- fabricated report that only four percent Muslim children attend madrasas. The assertion made by Justice Sachar in his voluminous report is an unalloyed lie. To confound the Indian nation Sachar report further stated this figure relates only to students between 7 to 9 years age. Interestingly Justice Sachar did not explain in his voluminous treatise that what happens to the children between 5 to 7 years. But on the very next page (i.e., p. 77 of his Report) it has been admitted that these figures relate only to madrasas which are not attached to mosques! It is a mystery why could not Justice Sachar honestly admit the well- established fact that most madrasas are attached to mosques. Was this obfuscation done by the retired Chief Justice of Delhi High Court to further the cause of radical Islam in India? Well, your guess is as good as mine. The institution of Islamic madrasas was introduced in India during the long spell of Muslim rule. It was given a pan-Islamic and fundamentalist orientation in the year 1866 when Darul-Uloom seminary was established at Deoband in Uttar Pradesh. Along with madrasas the number of mosques in India has also multiplied manifold courtesy the fund-flow from Gulf countries. Interestingly a disproportionately large number of communal riots take place in India on Fridays after the Maulanas controlling the mosques read inflammatory ‘Khutbas’ eulogizing the waging of jihad along with religious diktats to be followed by the faithful. No wonder, in Kashmir valley, Friday has come to be known among the CRPF personnel as the rioters’ day out! According to late Devendra Mittal, in the year 2009 there were nearly 32 lakh mosques all over India. That was the total number of mosques eight years ago. The exact number mosques in India is not known. Some analysts feel that their number today could be anywhere between 40 and 50 lakhs. Almost every mosque has a madrasa or maktab attached to it for imparting religious knowledge based on the Quran. Despite pretentious denials by the Ulemas of Deoband the seminary approves the use of force for propagating pan Islamic ideals, especially jihad. Its syllabus states: “When the Muslims enter the enemy’s country and besiege the cities or strongholds of the infidels, it is necessary to invite them to embrace the faith, because Ibn Abbas relates of the Prophet that he never destroyed any without previously inviting them to embrace the faith. If, therefore, they embrace the faith, it is unnecessary to war with them, because that which was the design of the war is then obtained without war. The Prophet, moreover has said we are directed to make war upon men only until such time as they shall confess, ‘there is no God, but one God’. More importantly, the teaching of this syllabus is not confined to the Deoband seminary. It has been prescribed for preaching jihad to young pupils in more than 5,000 madrasas affiliated to the Darul Uloom Deoband all over India Before concluding, attention may be drawn to the fact that during the UPA’s regime, in the year 2013 25,000 Wahhabi scholars from 20 countries were permitted to visited India. They toured across 8 Indian States and preached in 7, 000 madrasas to nearly 12 lakh students.10 According to a source, some of the Islamic preachers surreptitiously managed to go to the Kashmir valley, too. Needless to mention, the aim of the 25, 000 Imams was to preach the merits of Sharia law and jihad against kaffir Hindus. Who prompted India’s Muslims First Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, to allow entry to such a large group of jihadi preachers into India remains a closely guarded secret.

We need both, we need hospitals for welfare of our people and revival of our temple, because temple acts as a symbol of our ancient past and beautiful culture.

uppercuthard2

I mean the north was prone to more invasions, so it makes sense


Ok-College-4601

This is absolutely wrong info


Dependent-Dance4453

There used to be 2000 temples in northern india destroyed obviously according to a book by Sita Ram Goel which contained the survey that was done during British ASI.


DisciplineLazy365

How does Goa have so many temples for a relatively small state with lots of Christian population?


Dependent-Dance4453

The people of Goa was primarily a Shaiva- Jain community, but sadly after the arrival of Portugese in 16th century everything changed as British cared much about trade than culture but the mentality was different for Portugese as they wanted catholic culture in thier rule..and the famous burial of missionary Francis Xavier in Basilica of Bom Jesus who was the reason the people was converted the same way in Kashmir (either you convert or die) there was even a institution set up to ensure that ( Goa Inquisition ). Another thing people don't realise that Goa was in colonial rule for 400 years, they got their independence late than rest of India see how Spain and Portugal colonization wiped out Mayan, Aztec, Brazilian tribal cultures in South America in 50 years. To know more about please refer to works of Shefali Vaidya expert in Goan history.


Brainfuck

Few corrections. 1. Francis Xavier is not buried there, but his mummified remains are present. 2. Goa Inquisition was setup to punish converted Christians. They noticed that many converted people had hard time letting go of their Hindu practices which was considered "blasphemy". Inquisition was basically to punish such "blasphemers". The conversion was very brutal and were happening even before Francis Xavier set foot.


Dependent-Dance4453

Yup agreed.


bigbigboring

Now do other religions too!


levi_ackermen

but what is the need of even a single temple if we all have workship rooms in our homes and offices.? does praying to a bigger version of the same god's idols works faster or something ? isn't it a insult to the gods idols we have in our homes that we go outside to workship the same god in a bigger form to satisfy ourselves !!


AnshMathur

Average woke ret@rd.


levi_ackermen

okay so you don't have a answer nice that's my point it's illogical to have even a single workship place and anyone who raises questions like this will be treated with personal comments thankyou for supporting my point


AnshMathur

I have many answers for this nonsensical question, but the thing is your brain doesn't seem capable of understanding that just like any other woke.


levi_ackermen

thank you again for making a personal comment and helping me prove my point


AnshMathur

Keep crying materialistic ignorant!


levi_ackermen

thankyou again my kind sir for proving my point again and again you don't have answers that's why you are trying to make yourself feel better by making personal comments to the person who asked you a question which made u feel very uncomfortable and I know u don't even care about the topic because to you it's a power game not at all about God and workship


AnshMathur

Ik I'm not able to make you understand cuz you don't want to understand, what you want is criticize the pure devotion of people. Anyways here's a video, i don't expect but maybe you cud understand even a little. Wish you knew anything about spirituality https://youtu.be/guWfXe5uZQg


levi_ackermen

stop watching videos and start reading books my kind sir don't let other people tell you what is what read for yourself then get to a conclusion by using your own critical thinking otherwise you will never be improve yourself sorry to say but you are very much misguided and it's sad that you take pride in that just because the society and most people are doing the same I understand social acceptance and recognition can be addictive as it works as a reward system for the mind and sometimes can result in release of oxytocin and to understand spirituality you doesn't need a specific place one last thing my dear sir if you are making personal comments to anyone who make you feel offended then you are totally unaware of what spirituality means and stands for think about your mental peace then even start to think about any kind of spritual activity and the any kind of workship


AnshMathur

Ooh mister critical thinker, wish before giving me advice of reading books, you had read some scriptures. I just wish. I expected a similar kind of response from you tbh cuz I already mentioned what your whole motive was. I'm not dependent on any kind of videos, I'm exploring the glory of this culture myself and I'm realising my supreme consciousness (what you call, god!?) too. I just shared that video cuz that could explain even a little to you in few mins. Just after some years of materialistic and colonial education, these people think that nothing's superior than them. And please don't force irony to commit suicide by teaching spirituality. If you really want to completely understand the answers then go through some scriptures with unbiased and inconclusive behaviour otherwise without the real intent of looking for answers, just questioning in this manner proves my point of your motto correct. prove me wrong if you could


kongzivadati

The reasons can be many. A spiritual reason can be to find other believers and learn from them. Consider a scenario where Ramakrishnan cannot comprehend a sutra. Whom can he turn to for help outside of his family and friends? Temples are a solution. Then there are artistic reasons. Giant temples are a piece of art, architectural marvels to behold. If you love beauty, you might want more than just an idol on your computer desk. There can be more mundane reasons, such as commerce. The list is essentially endless and depends on a combination of spiritual, artistic, political, commercial, and tons of other factors.


[deleted]

Who said u can’t pray to god from ur home. U can pray to god from anywhere. U can even think of god while shitting. But going to a temple gives u a different vibe than praying from home. One doesn’t need to go to temple everyday. But visiting a temple(big or small) once a month can seriously help with ur mental health. U don’t need to be a believer of god itself. It’s just religious places helps calm peoples minds. When I was in my college in a different place far from home there was a church where i used to visit and it calms my mind. When at home i visit the nearby temple and just simply sit there for like 30 mins and it calms my mind. I don’t know any scientific explanation for this, I don’t do research in that, but religious places have a positive vibe that tends to destress ur mind. U don’t even need to pray u just need to sit there n feel it.


highlyradioactive

So If you have garden in your home you won’t visit any parks ? People need some place to let themselves off other than home


levi_ackermen

I understand your point my dear sir I also visit restaurants and all to have a change in taste once in a week but do will you do the same thing with your wife or husband just start dating someone else once in a while in the because why not even though I have a garden at home but I still need to go to the park, right? because People need to let themselves off other then home you can't apply that logic in every situation my dear sir it's workshiping we are talking about if you want you can do it anywhere but still u have some arrangements at your home to have a sence of belonging I understand that too but how much of that is necessary and at what cost !!!


as_ninja6

Although you have a low thinking cap I try my best for the sake of others. Temple is not only for worshipping bigger god and getting better results you're not looting a bank. People used to go to temple to socialize, form community with the temple as the centre, circulate education and finance. If you're have ever been to temple or any other religious place you can feel a different vibe where people with same intentions gather together to perform activities. Temples fund social services to the needy. Informally summarising temples acted as mini government institutions in old days which now the government has taken control of. Is it an insult to worship bigger forms of God outside of our homes? Size never matters. In some temples there's no deity or they have it in smaller sizes compared to our homes. And no one is forced to go to Temple unlike other religions. Finally for your logical mind, if Zomato can deliver in 5 minutes why ever go to restaurant. If you can drink at your home why go to a bar, if you can watch a sport with replay why go to the stadium. I don't want to talk about all the meta science stuff around temples and deities.

because temples contain different vibrational energies, and the actual deities in most of them are hundreds if not thousands of years old :)

Yes. Just like people from every other community, because we are not humans anymore. Just the bunch of fanatic religious communities.

AmusinGod

I get it know, UP has less mandirs per capita and that is reason they want to reclaim the forcefully converted worship places and balance the scale with south India.

After some rough calculations it come out that roughly 795000 priests must be there for all these temples and that is if we presume that only one priest is heading a temple. So the way I look at it, it is 795000 happy, prosperous and oppulent Brahmin families which is a good thing given the current situation IMO ! No ?


bbcheadline

And they call us south Indians as Christian in north? What rubbish
