Q: What was Krishna's position in Dvaraka?

Krishna was not the king of Dvaraka, that was Ugrasena. So what exactly was Krishna's position in Dvaraka ? Was he a minister, Yuvaraja,advisor etc. Why was he called Dvarkadish ?

An Insight on Aryan Invasion theory

Initially there were three presidency of British rule, they were Madras(Now known as Chennai), Bombay(Mumbai) and Calcutta(Kolkata). Once in Madras presidency.

During a procession, a governer was going in a buggy and a Brahmin was holding an umbrella for him. Whoever were peresent there, they came and touched the feet of the brahmin.

The governer was shocked to see, he asked why they are touching feet of brahmin and not mine. Then they said it is because in India, Brahmins have high regards because they are knower of Vedas.

On listening to this, he sent a letter to head office saying , we have conquered India politically, but if we want to take full control, we have to conquer it culturally.

Thanks @TheLittleNaruto Happy Deepavali....

Then they sent Lord Macaulay to spoil the education system of India. He brought Max Muller and asked to create this Aryan invasion theory in order to create inferiority complex within Indian so that they would feel themselves as outsider.

Not only that, he also announced whoever studied English till matrics i.e class 10th, they shall get white caller jobs i.e. jobs in offices. Since brahmins were master of Sanskrit, they had to work as a peon or lower category of job. And that is how they were able to create a vacuum wherein they could push Christianity and English.

Now talking about Max Muller he studied Sanskrit one and half years. In just this sort span of time, he was able to translate Vedas. This is very funny as we know how much cryptic Vedas texts are in nature. People take ages to learn Sanskrit then also they make mistakes when translating these highly cryptic texts. Then how come a person who is not even native to India, can do that? This is surprising.

And that is the reason why people in the west believe this theory as correct and not as a myth.

Q: Does Taylor Swift's 'Karma' song even remotely have anything to do with the Hindu notion of Karma?

Not a Hindu here, but I'm wondering if this new song is getting under the skin of Hindus the way Alanis Morrissette's 'Ironic' annoyed English teachers. In the song, she mentions several dozen things that even in may naivete don't sound much like Karma: Karma is my boyfriend Karma is a god Karm...
