Brahminical Supremacy 

Colonial British construct rooted in 19th C scientific racism such as the Aryan Race theory which is since discredited.

Predominantly upheld by colonised Brahminical natives educated under the British Imperial system who secretly believe that they are rightful heirs of The Raj and must civilise the indigenous Hindus as the ruling class from South Asian departments.

They truly believe they are descendents of a mythical Aryan race, normally from highly privileged backgrounds, and to avoid giving up their privilege, they pretend to care about structural inequality by self loathing condemnation of their culture and by looking down on all who refuse to deracinate themselves.

They hate traditional Brahmins who are rooted in their traditional indigenous Hindu culture. They look down on and have extreme hate for India's low-caste Hindu PM and the President who is a Dalit.

Brahmankind 

Brahmankind (noun):

A term coined to capture the essence of unified diversity within mankind, highlighting the interconnectedness and shared humanity among individuals from various cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds.

Derived from the combination of "Brahman," a Sanskrit term representing the ultimate reality or universal consciousness, and "mankind," the collective term for the human race, Brahmankind symbolizes the inherent oneness that transcends the superficial differences among people.
“We’re all Brahmankind.”
BRAHMAN is the Unconditioned Source of all Being. It is called Nirguna, without knowable qualities.

It is to be distinguished from Brahma, which is Saguna, of knowable qualities.

Whereas Brahma is represented by statues, BRAHMAN is represented by space.

Whereas Brahma is worshipped with pujas, BRAHMAN is worshipped with an exemplary way of life.

A relationship with BRAHMAN is present in all beings. But that relationship is destroyed through evil conduct.

BRAHMAN is the source of absolute safety. Realising it is the summit of human life.
Realise Brahman through a lifetime's virtue.

Cut off from Brahman through a lifetime of evil.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
