No group has done more internal damage to Hinduism than these fanatic Vaishnavites. And almost nobody names it. Here's their operation: 1. Derive all legitimacy from the Vedas. Quote them, garland them, claim continuity and in-group membership. 2. Absorb tribal cults from abhira pastoralists, Narayana traditions, regional folk deities and rebrand them as "avatars" of one Supreme God who barely appears in the Rigveda. 3. Having looted the prestige of the Vedas, turn around and call the Vedas themselves "tribalistic." Discourage study by saying it is all "too vast, too complex, nobody can understand without a guru" and push the Upanishads as the "distillation." Which is a blatant lie. That's where the Vedic spirit is quietly extinguished and replaced with the self-denying machinery of karma and moksha. 4. Manufacture story after story to defame Indra. Reduce him from civilizational hero to a rotating post. Kill the symbol of aspiration itself. They hate Indra because they hate excellence. And like Mamata Benrjee threatening anyone who questions her and saying without us one community will finish you, this guy also is threatening that "without us you sissies would have been crushed," the enforcement is always the same: shut up, or we make you the villain. This is why Indians are trained into dishonesty. We use gaslighting and selective memory to manufacture peace, and call the result "tolerance." A civilization that runs on a thousand-year-old lie, where the source text says one thing, the marketing says the opposite, and everyone agrees not to notice produces people who cannot tell the truth from lie. And such people who cannot tell the truth never achieve excellence and that is why we rot in this mediocrity.
