COCKEYED MORAL POLICING STARTED BY VHP

Who the hell will decide which Durga is "sanskari" and which is not "sanskari"? Based on what parameters?

Who're these Saffron Jamatis to give fatwas on Art?? Our civilization never shied away to portray our deities in various andromorphic forms of Art. They should also ban Gīta-Govindam then.

Who the hell "cooks" non veg inside the puja pandals/inside place of worship? Who're they to give fatwas on non-veg to those who offer fish & mutton to their deity!!

The Bengali dashabhuja Durga is Tamasic as opposed to the Hindi belt ashthabhuja Durga

Bengal's Shaktism is heavily rooted in the Tantric Kalikula tradition. In Shakta Tantra, worship during the peak of battle (Mahishasuramardini) or deities tied to Maha-Tamas (the dark, transformative primordial force required to destroy chaotic asuric energy) uses Tamasic rites.

Dashabhuja (Active Combat & Ugra Form): The 10-armed form depicted in Bengali Pandals portrays the exact instant of the slaughter—the spear piercing Mahishasura's chest as he emerges from the severed neck of the buffalo. This raw, fierce act of destruction (Samhara) directly invokes the Tamasic aspect of cosmic dissolution to eliminate evil.

This is reflected in rituals like Navapatrika (botanical/animistic worship), blood/symbolic Bali (sacrifices), offering cooked fish/meat to the Devi, and midnight Sandhi Puja.

Durga image in different art form in Puja pandals are not worshiped. 99% puja is Ghot Pujo and not murti pujo. Bishorjjon is also Ghot Bishorjon. The Murti Bishorjon is just a festival.

Ashtabhuja (Royal & Protective Form): The 8-armed version commonly seen across northern India typically presents a post-battle or protective stance. Riding her lion calmly, holding her weapons in posture rather than violent thrust, she embodies Rajas (royal power and activity) or Sattva (divine peace and protection after order is restored).

In northern and central India, Durga worship is predominantly governed by Smarta, Puranic, and Vaishnava-influenced traditions. The focus is on Sattvic (pure, ascetic) or Rajasic (royal, action-oriented) worship. The rituals emphasize strict vegetarian fasting (Vrata), peaceful Aarti, and Garba/Kanya Pujan.

THE POLITICS OVER BORDER FENCING

  When Modi sarkar came into office in 2014, 1. Roughly 1,520 km of the total 2,216.7 km border was already fenced in West Bengal. All of it by UPA-I and UPA-II under Dr Manmohan Singh. 2. By August 2025, Modi sarkar managed to fence only 127km in 12 years. 3. Pending (Feasible): 456.2 km 4. Non-Feasible/Unfenceable: 112.8 km (Rivers/Swamps/Sundarbans mangroves etc) For 12 years Modi and Shah have been screaming Ghuspethiya because they failed to fence a mere 456 kms while past govts, UPA-I and UPA-II under Dr Manmohan Singh, since the year 2000 managed to complete 1,520 km of the total 2,216.7 km border in Bengal and also the rest of the Indo-Bangla border stretching across 4,096.7 km Nobody asked when over 3,232 km is already fenced and sealed, what prevented BSF from sealing a mere 456.2 km by physical control and patrolling? Border sealing in any case is the primary responsibility of the BSF. Suvendu Adhikar says that BSF will be provided land within 45 days for border fencing ...

  CROSSING "THE THIN RED LINE" The "Thin Red Line" often means the final boundary or division between order and chaos, or between good and evil. It is also used to denote a limit beyond which someone must not go without facing severe consequences. It suggests the idea of a physical boundary marking the limits between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. The expression is part of the English language vocabulary. However, there is a military origin to this phrase which goes back to the British Crimean War, particularly the Balaklava Campaign. Though the Balaklava Campaign became infamous for one of the most infamous blunders in military history, the Charge of the Light Brigade, made immortal by Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell. They that had fought so well Came through the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of h...
