Most countries have adapted Rama Story acc. to their own culture with a local setting; the Indian names are used for important towns, sites, mountains, rivers, and lakes.
The adoption of Valmiki Story in Asian countries was selective and influenced by local values

The Buddhist work Mahavibhasa (150ce) is oldest record of Ramayana. Hsuan Tsang stated "There is a book called the Rāmāyaṇa...[it] explains only two topics:
1. Rāvana carrying Sītā off by violence
2. Rāma recovering Sītā and returning."

With @SpeakerPelosi rumored to be arriving in #Taiwan tonight, let's remember: kindling the fire of Beijing's #psyop is only helping the CCP.
People in Taiwan need to take preparedness seriously, but hyperbolic headlines and performative panic are only aiding our adversary. 🧵👇

We can expect more sabre rattling, more incursions into ADIZ which asymptotically close to the median line, more petty bans on our agricultural products. But these are not insurmountable challenges to our sovereign democracy. #IslandOfResilience
Of course, it would be naïve to discount CCP's brutality in #HongKong, #EastTurkestan, #Tibet, #SouthernMongolia... But 🇨🇳 communists already administer these regions. This shows that regime survival is a primary concern.
This is an excerpt from a report supportive of Chinese government actions in #Xinjiang #EastTurkestan. It points to an expanded #China #PRC understanding of #CT #counterterrorism #GWOT, namely "cultural security." eurispes.eu/wp-content/upl…
The 2015 Anti-Terrorism Law specifies the government’s opposition "to the use of any form of 'distorted religious doctrines' or other ideologies that incite hatred or discrimination and/or promote violence and other forms of extremism, with the aim of eradicating the ideological
basis of terrorism from society. This should be understood as an attempt on behalf of the Chinese legislator to go beyond the simple prevention of the criminal act as such, in what could be defined a form of preventive prevention or pre-prevention."

#Uyghur scholar and author Sheikh Muhammad Qasim Amin al-Turkistani passed away at the age of 93 in Saudi Arabia.
#Uyghurs #SaudiArabia

The CCP is continuously destroying the Uyghur race in #EastTurkestan. Please help us to stop them. Please #SaveUyghurs from #CCP. Thank you!
YouTube version of the above video:
A relative of Roshen’gul Abdurishit (below) asked me to share these photos on Twitter. Large number of Uyghurs are still missing, including the close relatives of the Uyghurs who are currently living abroad, even after “Xinjiang” authorities claimed all the detainees
in China’s concentration camps have been released. In 2015 - 2017, CCP reported the Uyghur population in #EastTurkestan as 11.3 million, & in Sep 2018 a CCP central government official said it is 6 or 7 million. Our only wish now is those missing Uyghurs are still alive.
Should be "A relative of Rozigul Abdurishit (below)", sorry for that.
A Han couple in an Australia store. It shows how the future world of the humans looks like if the CCP is allowed to achieve its goal.
Here is another real story that I wanted to tell for a long time:

In 2010, two Uyghur youths were crossing a street thru an underground tunnel filled with shoppers. Elbow of one Uyghur softly touches a Han lady by accident. The lady starts to shout: “Help me! They gave me a shot!” There was nothing in the hands of the 2 Uyghurs.

Despite of that, the nearby police comes and arrests them. Later, the 2 Uyghurs’ fate was decided in a high-level “Xinjiang” party officials’ meeting, attended by then Secretary Wang Luochuan and then Chairman Nur Bekri: Death sentence to one, & life-in-prison to the other.

Edinburgh Place is full for the #HK rally in solidarity w #Uighurs . In our nearly 800 protests since 6/9, this is only the 3rd to stand for others. There was a small 1 at CUHK for Uighur uni pres rumored sentenced to death & 1 for Catalunya.
Great to see the #EastTurkestan & #Tibet flags flying at the #HK solidarity rally for #Uighurs. Our fate is tied to theirs. We all have to fight together for our freedom & our rights.
Free #IlhamTohti , Free All Political Prisoners at #HK rally for #Uighurs . Ilham just received EU parliament’s #SakharovPrize this week. He’s serving life in prison in China on the entirely false charge of ‘separatism’. His daughter @JewherIlham accepted the award on his behalf.
[Thread] A Chinese student group, likely CSSA, threatened Columbia University to cancel a panel discussion on #humanrights in #hongkong #tibet #EastTurkestan #Uyghurs and #China. And they successfully blocked the discussion. An extreme insult to free speech in this country.
[Cont.] A statement co-authored by all panelists and the moderator will be out soon. Even in recent months, many similar things happened in US, Australia, Canada and other countries. #CSSA is definitely a weapon of Chinese government.
Here are two flyers we posted on Eventbrite:
The cancellation explains the importance of this panel discussion. Chinese government successfully prevented this discussion, as it did numerous times in the world. [cont.]

Clip 2: There are more "witness testimonials" coming right out of #Xinjiang aka #EastTurkestan. They don’t saying anything but it's written all over their faces, clearly sending a message to the outside world that all is not good.
