The dargah of #Sufi saint Makhdoom Ali Mahimi at #Mahim in #Mumbai is revered by the #MumbaiPolice, who lead the ceremonies during the annual urs. A #thread on the patron saint of the police force and how this tradition came about. #history #heritage

Indians across faiths follow syncretic traditions. Recently, Tryambakeshwar, a jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva near #Nashik in #Maharashtra, hit the headlines after it was alleged that some Muslims tried to forcibly enter the shrine

Later, it was clarified that the men were following a decades-old tradition, where the devotees of the Sufi saint Hazrat Syed Ghulab Shahavali Baba stand outside the temple and blow the smoke from the loban (frankincense) into it as a mark of respect

تاج جھیل محل (اودے پور، ریاست راجھستان)
Taj Lake Palace ( Udaipur)__1746
منی تاج محل یعنی تاج محل (آگرہ) کی نقل
یہ نظر کا دھوکہ نہیں بلکہ وہی دودھیا، اجلے اور سنگ مرمر سے بنے جھروکے، محرابیں گویا تاج محل (آگرہ) سے قریبی مشابہت
تاج جھیل محل راجستھان کےشہر اودے

پور میں جھیل پچولا (Lake Pichola) پر 18ویں صدی کا ایک سابق شاہی گھر ھے۔
یہ محل مہارانا جگت سنگھ II کے لیے 1743 اور 1746 کے درمیان بنایا گیا تھا۔
محل کی تاریخ تھوڑی عجیب ھے کہ جگت سنگھ دوم کے والد مہارانا سنگرام سنگھ دوم نے اپنے بیٹے کو قریبی جزیرے کےکسی اور محل میں عورتوں کےساتھ

رہنے سے منع کیا تھا کہ وہ اس وقت تفریح کر رہا تھا، اس لیے اس کے بیٹے نے اس کی جگہ ایک نیا جھیل محل تعمیر کیا۔
محل نے مختلف مشہور مہمانوں کی میزبانی کی، جن میں جیکولین کینیڈی، لارڈ کرزن(1899-1905)، ملکہ الزبتھ اور برطانوی اداکار ویوین لی شامل ہیں۔

#Goa was liberated from over four centuries of #Portuguese rule in 1961. But the Portuguese occupation saw anti-colonial uprisings including the #PintoRevolt or the #ConspiracyofthePintos. It is claimed that the rebels had colluded with #TipuSultan of #Mysore
#history

The Pinto revolt at Candolim was the 1st such serious attempt by the people of #Goa to overthrow the #Portuguese. It was a protest against the racial discrimination by the Portuguese.

The conspiracy was hatched largely by the clergy, which was upset at the discrimination ingrained in the Catholic Church against native Goan Christians and a system where the Portuguese were supreme.

Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar (1872-1931) was a Hindustani classical singer. Paluskar stood up to Maulana Mohammed Ali Jauhar who opposed his musical performance in the Kakinada session of the #IndianNationalCongress in 1923
#history #heritage #music #Maharashtra

Paluskar has sung the original version of 'Raghupati Raghav Rajaram' & arranged 'Vande Mataram' India's national song. He is also credited with ensuring that #music & musicians secured the respect that they deserved.

This thread is based on the writings of social reformer & journalist Prabodhankar Keshav Sitaram Thackeray. Prabodhankar, the father of late #ShivSena supremo #BalThackeray wrote about Paluskar on 17 October 1942.

ਨੇਪਾਲ ਦੇ ਦਰਵਾਜ਼ੇ 1950 ਤੱਕ ਸਭ ਲਈ ਬੰਦ ਸਨ। ਉਸ ਸਮੇਂ ਇੱਥੇ ਰਾਜਾਸ਼ਾਹੀ ਚੱਲਦੀ ਸੀ ਤੇ ਨੇਪਾਲ ਅੰਦਰ ਆਉਣ ਦੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਆਗਿਆ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ। ਸੰਨ 1958 ਵਿੱਚ ਸਰਦਾਰ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਸਿੰਘ ਨੇਪਾਲ ਪਹੁੰਚਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਮੁੱਢਲੇ ਪੰਜਾਬੀਆਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਇੱਕ ਸਨ। ਉਹਨਾਂ ਇੱਥੇ ਆਕੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਦੀ ਆਗਿਆ ਨਾਲ ਟਰਾਂਸਪੋਰਟ ਦਾ ਕੰਮ ਖੋਲ੍ਹਿਆ। ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਜਦ ਅਸੀਂ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਵਾਰ

ਇੱਥੇ ਟਰੱਕ ਲੈਕੇ ਆਏ ਤਾਂ ਇੱਥੇ ਦੇ ਲੋਕ ਟਰੱਕ ਦੇਖ ਦੂਰ ਭੱਜਣ ਕਿ ਭਲਾਂ ਇਹ ਕੀ ਬਲਾ ਹੈ।

ਦੱਸਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਮਹਾਰਾਜ ਦੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਨਾਲ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰ ਸੈੱਟ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਤੇ ਇੱਥੇ ਰਹਿੰਦਿਆਂ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਪਤਾ ਲੱਗਾ ਕਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਤੀਜੀ ਉਦਾਸੀ ਸਮੇਂ ਕਾਠਮੰਡੂ ਆਏ ਸਨ। ਉਦੋਂ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਹੁਣ ਵਾਂਗ ਫੋਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਕਸ਼ੇ ਜਾਂ ਹੋਰ ਸਾਧਨ ਸਨ।

It's a while since I've had one of these, and not in response to anything specific - I've been very inactive on #WesternSahara lately. Must be a quiet day on a troll farm somewhere in #Morocco.

Anyway, I have a rule that whenever I'm trolled by agents of the #Moroccan state, I post photos of the Sahrawi controlled areas of #WesternSahara, to highlight the conflict & #Morocco's partition of this non-self-governing territory. Here's the view from Tin Gfuf, Southern Sector

Some thoughts that I presented at this conference on 'measuring' heritage loss & damage.

1. Use IPCC risk framework to characterise risk to different aspects of heritage (tangible & intangible). Can be quantitative or qualitative, data or experience driven.

https://twitter.com/CarbonBrief/status/1643541687413735426

2. Make sure #heritage is considered in national risk assessments & adaptation plans. Not just $ value, but inventories of tangible & intangible heritage @ risk, & registers for degrees of risk.

@UNFCCC

3. Use national assessments & adaptation plans as basis to include heritage at risk in NDCs, Adaptation Communications, National Communications etc., submitted to @UNFCCC as part of its Global Stocktake.
