Why Rajapaksa's victory a setback for India but good for Pakistan

[Protest_again]

India was ruled by Mughals till British arrived. Though kingdoms like Marathas, Sikhs etc rose up, they were only recent ones that rose in 1700s jsut before British came (1757). Calling Brahmans as ruling class in such era of turmoil is a joke.

Brahmins were elite class because mughals followed manusmriti as hindu law code. They adhered to the same laws till British changed them. They didn't try to reform it. They left it alone. They were not bothered. Because it made their subjects obedient. They were not to be part of empire making. They were just subjects paying whatever tax the rulers imposed on them. Brahmins helped mughals in such taxation.

Also that is why Sati practice sustained through out mughal period. It took Lord William Bentick to abolish it.

Manusmriti was never followed in India in a major way. That is why it is a "smriti", not "shastra". Smritis are inferior and not considered universal. Now, you show me the evidence of Manusmriti being implemented by Mughals, Marathas or any major kingdom in the past

Why would British translate manusmriti then? Why was it considered the hindu law code initially when they took over? Only when they realised the inherent discrimination, did they abandoned it and introduced common law.

That's how social reforms started. Please obviously you are taken into glorious hindu civilization absurdity. I tell you today, Indians were always poor, only ruling class were rich.

I had wasted enough time on this. I can't be spoon feeding you. I'll leave it to your judgment how you perceive our history. Please don't bother me.

Stop insulting religion when you only know it from afar. Yes, Hinduism is old and it has its vices. No one is denying it. Yet a billion of us follow the religion. So called racist were brahmins of the time. Their population is only 5% in India today. Rest are all oppressed 95% still in the religion for its openness and spirituality. When you are commenting on ganesha, you are only commenting on superficiality of it. I could explain the significance of that elephant chimera but I know you are an idiot who can't grasp it. So I suggest you to stfu and don't need to parade your ignorance.

Manusmriti suggests pouring molten lead into ears (not penises) for those lower castes who indulge in veda and its recitation. It's a rotten text ignored some 500 years ago.

I think i just opened a can of wormz. Lol

Yet Pres, Gotabaya is making India his first foreign trip rather than Pakistan. Interesting.

Funny how Pakistanis are more interested in Sri Lanka's election than the Lankans themselves. They are going to be disapointed though, because Sri Lanka will always be an important strategic partner of India.

If thats the case, then why is India so worried about the Rajapaksas? Lol. There is a Chinese saying, hiding a knife behind a smile.

India isn't worried about the Rajapkshas. Don't let the media hype fool you. This isn't the Congress gov., relations between India and Sri Lanka are much different now. Long before the election, Modi has been reaching out to the Rajapakshas to end any Congress-era baggage. Both of them have expressed strong support for close ties with India and Modi. If you think about it, Rajapaksha and Modi actually share a lot in common.

BTW, I don't think the the Rajapaksha government will be a s good for China as some are saying. Allowing excessive Chinese investments into crony projects was what got him kicked out of office in the first place, he will be careful to pursue a more balanced foreign policy this time. Although China got the contract for Hambota, the contract for Colombo Port has been given to a joint Indo-Japanese venture. Personally, I think Rajapaksha has the right idea of balancing Chinese and Indian ties while maintaining Sri Lanka's traditional strategic relations with India.

A longggg explanation only shows your desperation. Hahaha. This isnt about Congress or Bjp, its about India, Modi did shit too, not just Congress. Tamil Nadu lobby is strong in India, you aint fooling anyone. The rajapaksas know China is their only hope and survival, couple that with western threat if war crimes, only we can shield them. Common sense bhai

 

[God Parshuram]

Hahhhaa. We all know the truth, i can bet with you, the Chinese intelligence is planning with Rajapakssa now. We were the ones together with Pakistan helped destroy the Indian tamil card. In front of you he will appear friendly but we all knw the truth.

Your string of pearl is demolished by Modi merely with his diplomacy. We are expanding in South china sea with our alliances. You have lost your importance in sub-continent except pakistan.

lol whatever you say. What the Rajapakshas themselves have said and done backs up what I said. Things change, this isn't the 90s anymore. And do you seriously think Modi cares about the "Tamil Nadu lobby" after al the $hit it gives him?

Pakistanis for sure crave what they never got.

Kinda agree on that.. Modi won with a overwhelming mandate without the support from the Tamil Nadu polity, So he is not bound by pandering to their demands viz a viz foreign policy like what Congress had to, Like wise Gotabaya Rajapaksa for the first time since 77' won with overwhelming majority solely on the back of a wave of Sinhala Buddhist vote base, He accounted for less than 10% of Muslim and Tamil votes hence he's not bound by Minority party politics.. So the Modi govt knows they will have work with a govt of national interests and not concentrate on appeasing the Lankan Tamil polity via Tamil Nadu

Hence one can expect a more balanced and conciliatory approach from both govts

like I said, I find it interesting how some Pakistanis care more about Lankan elections than Lankans themselves. I have a lot of respect for Sri Lanka, and I wish the Rajapaksha bros. the best of luck. I think they have also personally matured as politicians, so I for the most part think they will do good for SL.

Gotabaya is an proven technocrat if he has a free hand he will do a lot of work but his main obstacle i see will be his brother Mahinda the newly appointed PM a quintessential politician and with all the political garbage of 40 years as a politician he will bring in to the govt.. It wont be easy
