One telltale sign of tarded opinion of Hinduism is creating a dichotomy between Ritual and Bhakti.  This is an opinion typical of people who aren't religious but somehow taken an interest in religion, regrettably.

Ask any Yajnika or Agnihotri or Acarya.

"Gangu V1s were the first to ditch traditionalism in favor of minimum ritual maximum bhakti variant of Hinduism, while simultaneously rejecting Western education, making a perfect recipe for losing hold on Hinduism." (9/11)

"It led to LCs believing Hinduism is a religion where anything goes and further accelerated the degeneracy thanks to Bhakti movement. Absence of regionalism also led Brahmins and subalterns alike to import heroes from Pune which was the final nail in the coffin..." (10/11)

In 1973 Legendary actor Pran, refused to accept #Filmfare best supporting actor award on the grounds that the Filmfare award for Best #Music should have gone to "Ghulam Mohammad " for his outstanding score in #Pakeezah (1972) and not 'Shankar Jaikishan' for "Be-Imaan" (1972)

Am making an alt-list to show how old classics can stand up to quickies and kitschies following varied views on #Heeramandi ..I had talked of #Pakeezah. @ashoklalla suggests Shyam Benegal s Mandi. Here's a beautiful song from another contender, Bahu Begum

Those who are watching #Heeramandi should also watch or revisit #Pakeezah. The beauty of Kamal Amrohi's Meena Kumari starrer is that it is not an escape into an exotic past but a progressive, modern work in which there is serious contemplation beyond the colourful aesthetics.

Later today @TNWJackson and I are going to discuss Jung, his reception, and his relevance today; which is why I’m re-reading some of his key essays.
