India’s caste system
I did a search on India’s caste system, and this is what I found:
‘India’s caste system is a hierarchical social structure rooted in ancient varna classifications, further divided into thousands of hereditary jatis, influencing social, economic, and political life for centuries.
Historical Origins
The caste system in India originated in ancient times, primarily through the varna system, which divided society into four broad categories: Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (traders and merchants), and Shudras (laborers and artisans) Wikipedia+1. Outside this hierarchy were the Dalits (historically called “Untouchables”) and Adivasis (tribal communities), who faced social exclusion Wikipedia+1. Over time, the varna system became more complex with the emergence of jatis, localized hereditary groups often linked to specific occupations, customs, and marriage rules Encyclopedia Britannica+2.’
Is this mentality what we want brought to Australia? Of course, the multiculturalists have nothing to say. They’re too preoccupied with de-whiting and de-Anglosising Australia.
Modi and his expansionist plans
You thought a whole lot of nice Indian people were coming to Australia to join in and be part of the nation. Modi’s nationalist rally in the heart of Melbourne, supported by Labor’s multiculturalist duo, PM Albanese and Premier Jacinta Allan, should have undeceived you. India is not what most Australians think it is.
Ideology cannot change observable, tested truths
No, not even bullying, cancelling, and jail can change them.
Woke crackpottery possesses Australia’s universities
Students, particularly males, wishing to achieve a useful vocational qualification would do well to choose something from TAFE before the woke crackpots get a hold on that, too.
Robert Menzies’ prescient warning
Only a drooling ideologue would deny the key argument here. Only homogeneous societies possess the unity to survive. Multiculturalism is incoherent. Present-day Australia shows Menzies to be essentially correct. A survivable nation cannot tolerate imported colonies whose members publicly proclaim their allegiance to another nation.
The Indian PM greets his ecstatic Australian colony
The Indian PM Narendra Modi was all satisfied smiles as his Indian colony greeted him at a rally in Melbourne. Our leftist Prime Minister obsequiously copied Modi’s Indian greeting as they walked through the ecstatic crowd. A humble bow with hands together was appropriate for this prime minister. Australian custom and tradition are a distant last with Albo.
The larger the colony, the more influence it has on the electoral process. Albo knows this.
Has AI ruined it for novelists?
Lee Child’s critique of writing rules
Thriller author Lee Child sells millions of books per year. Few authors sell more books. I was immediately interested in the video below that challenges some of the rules most editors and book experts prescribe for beginning writers – and there are many on the internet – because I’m sceptical of some. One rule I think is overdone is the ‘show, don’t tell’ rule. Lee Child thinks so, too. This video is one of a series that Child has done for the BBC on writing.
Jean Shrimpton – more to her than her iconic status
I was doing some research on the 1960s for my latest title (Book 6) in my Sixties Series when I came across references to Jean Shrimpton, an Icon of the 1960s. I shouldn’t have been surprised to find numerous videos about her on YouTube. Below is a video that shows there was more to her than the stunning model that entranced the world.
She was incomparable. The girls (in Sydney) I knew at the time were crazy about her. I remember the Melbourne Cup incident well. I was nineteen in 1965. The irony is that hems at the Melbourne Cup the following year were above the knee – even those of the matrons who were so insulted the year before. Incidentally, I don’t believe the Orlon dress was above the knee because the company provided too little material. It was planned and carried out to perfection. No one has surpassed Shrimpton’s natural, unaffected beauty and the aura she projected.
