Is Hinduism inseparable from casteism?
2025.01.22 07:40 lafulusblafulus Is Hinduism inseparable from casteism?
For context, I was born in India but raised in the U.S. with privileged Brahmin parents, and we still live a relatively privileged upper middle class life in the U.S.
I've recently been more interested in my own faith and what it entails, and what I've found hasn't really impressed me much. I've also stumbled across this sub a few times, and since I'm leftist-sympathizing at the very least (and at the risk of sounding too sheltered, though I probably am), I decided to make this post.
The possibility of everything I've ever learned about Hinduism from my parents being casteist and the religion itself being casteist is something I've never even considered and genuinely is blowing my mind. My parents are very religious (understatement of the century), and they've raised me to do traditions like the thread ceremony, sandhyavandanam, etc., and I'm only now discovering truly what it means, that the thread ceremony is acknowledging one's own place within and continues to propagate the caste system, though I'm kinda scared of what my parents' reactions will be if I tear off the thread.
I've been pretty deep into Carnatic music, and since most songs are some form of devotion, is Carnatic music itself casteist? I've learnt the mridangam, and I genuinely like playing it, though I don't really think I'll go forward with it if the artform itself is a form of oppression. If Hinduism itself is inseparable from casteism, is Carnatic music itself inherently casteist?
While we're on the topic, is Hinduism also inseparable from classism, misogyny, etc.?
Are there any resources for learning more about how Hinduism is/isn't intertwined with all of these forms of bigotry?
Again, sorry for seeming so sheltered. If this post is not suited for this sub, by all means keep the hate comments flowing, but I didn't see any explicit rules against these kinds of posts so I assumed it was okay.

2025.01.22 07:40 Rare-Plenty-8574 What's happening with my crocs so sad bistro pro.
 | Hi there so I've been wearing crocs bistro pro since I could get them the last 9-10 years been great love them get 8-12 months from them. The last two pairs the tops are coming off and out of warranty. First pair after 4 months ...my new pair are doing it after a month I've had to use shoe repair glue to stick it back down but it looks ugly as. I love the shoe but I can't have this keep happening why did they change the quality control. I want new pairs please see image such a shame. Other co workers hate them now to for comfort and quality. I'm the last man standing but yeah I will not be buying another pair for kitchen environment whixh they did so well until they cheaper out on the glue on the tops. I bought from Amazon thought I got a dodgy pair but the 2nd purchase was from crocs itself one month in and started so disappointed 😞. If anyone knows what's happening please tell me how to prevent or fix. They have always lasted 8-12 months for me the treads fine only last 2 pairs have done this. submitted by Rare-Plenty-8574 to crocs [link] [comments] |
2025.01.22 07:40 ZodiacRooster0 Tobirama should be THE most feared person during war times and have a "Exile on sight" order during war times
Tobirama already being one of the top tiers of non SoSP characters but doesnt edo tensei + tandam paper bombs essentially make it so he has unlimited nukes that can wipe out armies at his disposal thats arguably compared to a tailed beast bombs in terms of ap that he can deploy at multiple places at once.
We know that its not that uncommon for him to use edo tensei + tandam paper bombs as a combo since he himself said he made edo tensei for tandem paperbombs, Hiruzen said that it was Tobirama's "specialty", Madara saying edo tensei was made to wipe the map clean and the previous kage from his generation knowing of the jutsu.
Now Tobirama can use this is multiple ways by just deploying one in a battlefield and setting it off when no allies are around or use it as a trap/ambush. Tobirama is undoubtedly a top tier in IQ + military strategy and along side that he is an exceptional sensory ninja so how i would imagine him using it would be placing a FTG mark/kunai in a area where he knows where the enemies would advance to and when he senses them in that area he would teleport a edo and set it off wiping them out.
Now we know Minato has a flee on sight order and that people like to theorize that he would just mark someone and at the middle of the night FTG to them and kill them but couldnt Tobirama do the same thing expect he would FTG a Edo and nuke the whole village hence the "exile on sight" since village leaders wouldnt want to risk that for anyone who has encountered him.
OFC morally this is fked up committing war crimes but the threat is always there and that he should be one of THE most feared and goes to show if he was a villian who knows what fked up things he could do.

2025.01.22 07:40 MongooseMission528 AITA for rejecting their wedding invitation?
My partner (43F) and I (44F) were invited to a wedding last year for a couple who is tying the knot this October. I’ve known both of them for many years, so naturally, I’d be bringing my partner as my plus one. Since I pretty much grew up with them, they’ve also met a few of my former partners over the years, including one who was a long-term girlfriend. I have absolutely no issue with this, and they’re actually friends with that ex of mine. To be honest, things just didn’t work out between us, and while we both wanted different things—she dreamed of a lavish wedding and a marriage on paper, while my values shifted over time—we parted on fairly amicable terms. There was some hurt, as with any breakup, but nothing that was insurmountable. We’ve both moved on, and as far as I know, she’s happily dating someone else.
So imagine my surprise when I received an email just yesterday from the bride and groom, informing me that since my ex will be at the wedding, they felt it best that I don’t bring my partner, just to avoid any potential drama from the past. Now, mind you, my partner and I have been together for five years, so this isn’t some short fling. We’ve built something real and solid, and I think it’s absurd that at our ages (we’re all in our 40s and 50s), the couple would feel the need to make such a request. It seems rather inconsiderate, and my partner, who’s always been supportive, even thinks it was a bit of a backhanded decision. She suggested I go without her, but I know it’s been bothering her.
I ultimately decided not to attend the wedding. I made it clear to the couple that this was an event I wanted to share with my partner, and if they’d rather have me attend without her, I simply won’t be there. I had no idea my decision would cause such a stir. The couple was genuinely shocked that I declined the invitation, and they expressed disappointment, saying they thought I would be there for them on their special day. But in all honesty, if this is how they were going to handle the situation, it wasn’t the kind of support I was prepared to offer.
AITA?

Been following the game for some time and I'm thinking about jumping in but I can't find a clear answer on exactly what's in the game right now. No I don't expect it to be a complete game, just curious what is really available right now and how many hours you'll probably get from current content.
