i come from a very liberal secular progressive family background,
a family where i was never forced to do any pooja of fast...where i was told the only difference betweena hindu and a muslim is just that he folllows another god just as mummy follows krishna..father follows shiva...similarly a muslim follows allah....nothing more than that.....
a family where nobody scolded or even prevented me from making joke on gods....and even encouraged sometimes (i remember i was in 5th class) like my uncle asking me to tell the joke on gods in front of my father and his friends.....nd they used to laugh....
a family where feminism came very naturally to me...as my father took no dowry...not even a penny nd as i hav 5 elder sisters nd myself alone brother....."5 ladkiyo mei aklela sabse chota ladka....still no bhed bhav between ladka ladki"(as mummy's friends used to praise her)
when i grew old in 6th 7th class...i was one of the guys in class who used to make most vulgar jokes about most sacred gods among hindus nd felt that i m very rebellion, rational, thought provoking nd progressive.(my ego was super satisfied abusing regressives)
i was good in maths physics chemistry so made into a govt college (NIT) via AIEEE....but my history polity nd current affair awareness was absolute zero....
when such a guy reaches college...then everybody knows what happens....totally into the left circle.... ladkibazi nashebazi daru ganja nd what not.....so my current affair awareness remained big zero....
after graduation.....my political thoughts were as follows (just perception no knowledgeof the subject) :
1. I used to boast if i became prime minister ever, i will make babri masjid there again.(a muslim friend of mine had shown me a documentary on it named "Raam k Naam" on youtube...and i was touched)
2. Used to belive that these "pakistan jindabad" chants are RSS conspiracy....(this continued till the i heard them first hand in WAJIRABAD DELHI while living in PG for UPSC coaching in a barber shop during india pakistan semifinal in ASIA CUP 2016)
3. We got freedom bcz of mahatma gandhi's peace nd non violence nd had no idea about Aajad Hind Fauj nd Naval Mutiny 1946 not knowing that BHARAT CHODO AANDOLAN 1942 was a total flop.... (i respect gandhiji till now on many points but also disagree on many)
4. Arvind Kejriwal is a revolution in itself. (even distributed AAP pamphelets in Delhi 2 times)

5. No idea whatsoever about communism, naxalism, cultural marxism, postmoderninsm and urban naxalism.
6. Belived a government distributing 1 2 3 rs/kg is gods own image on earth.... (didint knew that nothing comes free in this world...if one gets free some other is paying)
As i started my UPSC studies...i got to know communism socialism maoism naxalism nd all that stuff....started liking virtues of capitalism nd free market.... got to know the classic dichotomy between liberty and equality......between social justice nd indivisual justice.....
(but even till now TIPU SULTAN was my idol)

But the turning point which made me a "sanghi gobar andh bhakt"....was when i watched your this video suddenly.....



and then Buddha in traffic jam movie......
then i started connecting all the dots.....started identifying the hidden motives, justures and tones of many urban naxals like arundhati roy, nandini sundar....jnu incident, ashoka university petition, sterlite protest, NGO naxal church nexus.....and also media academia nexus...
(as i had already studied a lot theory for upsc by this time )

Now i m out of that traffic jam....thank you @vivekagnihotri sir.....!!!!!
this was the story of my transition from a liberal secular progressive tolerant person to "sanghi gobar andh bhakt"....
and the most profound understanding of world's socio political knowledge came to from the very talented decicated intellectual @RajivMessage alwys indebted to him for the knowledge he gave....videos "india grand narrative" and book "Breaking india forces"
