Russian soldier allegedly executes unarmed civilian in Donetsk Oblast, video shows -- Ukraine's intel chief warns of Russian disinformation wave ahead of Zapad-2025 military drills -- Russian units surrounded near Dobropillia -- "We are already in conflict with Russia," Merz says Putin destabilizing Germany ... and morehttps://activitypub.writeworks.uk/2025/08/sunday-august-31-2025/
Michael Crichton's Dragon Teeth is an entertaining Wild West quest for dinosaur bones set amidst the war between US Army and Native Americans. Easy quick read, but lacks the depth of his famous books.
My rating: ★★★☆☆

⬆️ @vidyarthi
>> If there's evidence for some structure built over an ancient one, it should be contested in the judiciary
You continue to obfuscate and conflate.
The claim to #RamJanmaBhoomi still remains unproven
Religious zealots forced #SCOINDIA to give it a veneer of respectability despite any proof that #Rama was born at that specific geolocation in #Ayodhya.
That set an ugly precedent, and we are already seeing #DragonTeeth appear in other locations, most recently in #Varanasi #India
⬆️ @vidyarthi
>> existence of a past structure is not enough evidence of existence of someone
That strikes at the HEART of #RamJanmaBhoomi claim. That's where #SCOINDIA massively erred, & that's why #DragonTeeth will continue to grow in #Indian soil
>> existence of the said character is "irrelevant"… what's "important" is the underlying social/spiritual message presented by the literary work.
Legal disputes are settled on evidence, NOT on "social/spiritual message presented by literary work"
⬆️ @vidyarthi
It’s OK to disagree with someone and use #belief or #faith as your argument, but it is not OK to give that a veneer of #truth by presenting questionable evidence, as you did with #Swastika and as you continue to do with #India’s #DragonTeeth problem.
Your selective choice of evidence ONLY when it suits you puts your dishonesty on display for the whole world to see.

#DragonTeeth grow in #India's soil
#Indian #Muslim leaders urge government to end #mosque-#temple disputes
"We urge the government to put an end to such disputes and save the #secular fabric of the nation"
The fight over holy sites has divided India, which has a #Hindu majority but also the world's 3rd-largest Muslim population since independence from #British in 1947. Critics accuse ruling #BJP of discrimination against Muslims
⬆️ @vidyarthi
>> it's best to let the judiciary decide on this matter
Sure, let 34 justices decide everything in a land of 1.4 billion.
The 34 justices of #SCOINDIA will crap their pants and sarees if a credible dispute ever arises over #TajMahal or #JamaMasjid.
This is the point you keep missing and are unable to engage on.
⬆️ @vidyarthi
>> If someone takes over your house
Juvenile analogies don't work here. That's why you have no answer to my question about #TajMahal or #JamaMasjid
These are not simplistic real estate issues involving contemporaneous parties. Separated by centuries, this is more than "your house". These are historic, cultural, and religious monuments as well.
And who has standing here?
34 justices of #SCOINDIA have opened #Pandora's box with #BabriMasjid #Ayodhya #DragonTeeth
⬆️ @vidyarthi
>> medieval overlords themselves mention these details in their court autobiographies, so there's nothing new here.
Oh, there is definitely something new here.
#FarRight #RSS is flexing its muscles under virulent #Hindutva #religiousExtremisn with friendly #BJP in tow
Civilization builds in layers, burying earlier ones. #Progressives move forward; #Reactionaries turn back time.
Wonder what #India would do for claims against #TajMahal or #JamaMasjid #DragonTeeth
