I can never take Americans who fetshize yoga and ashrams and Ayurveda and Hindu spiritualism shit in general seriously because if you Google basically any prominent yogi in India you will almost always find them saying some absolutely absurd/fucked up shit. There’s another yogi in India who opem discusses exterminating Muslims. Like I can’t square this reality with the “peace and love” image that Americans (honestly non-American white westerners are even worse I think, like europeans/israelis/aussies) have of India and yoga and Hinduism in their head. Like talk about rose colored glasses lmao

Having India on the internet has been fascinating for getting to see (often) English-speaking cultures that have just not internalized “modern” norms against cheerfully celebrating like, rape, or exterminatory social cleansing.
