(1/14) 712 C.E #BinQasim invaded Sindh - 1030 C.E #MahmudGhazni died 'distorians' do 3 disservices - Lionize invaders, sideline heroes & hide brutalities. This film reverses that - - Read on for uncomfortable truths & unsung heroes @fgautier26 @singhsahana 
(2/14) 712 C.E Mohammed Bin Qasim of #Ummayid Caliphate invades Sindh, kills #RajaDahir & sends his 2 daughters to Damascus as slaves. But did you know that the daughters tricked the Khalif & had Bin QAsim killed? @ShefVaidya @neha_aks - example of naari shaktitva
(3/14) So why did no Arab invade India for 300 years? Because India was blessed with kings like #Lalitaditya, #BappaRawal, Dantidurga & Nagabhatta 1 who thrashed jihadis so bad that they disappeared for next 300 years. @vivekagnihotri - theme for your next movie maybe?
I reported this: 1 month, 3 #Punjabi pop #singers harassed by #Hindutva workers for condemning caste, religion. Punjab's Dalit population at 32% is 2x national average. Researching a film in 2016, I learnt of ongoing wave of Punjabi Dalit-pop @TheSwaddle

These singers assert their caste by naming it in songs as pride-filled identity: subverting the abusive connotations dominant castes (DCs) had stuck on #Dalit caste names. Rajni Thakkarwal survived DC men’s attempt on her life while she was singing #ChamaarPop.
Rajni isn’t alone. “We were given a court notice for singing about Babasaheb [Ambedkar] and against Brahmanvaad, Manuvaad,” says Roop Lal Dhir, possibly first Punjabi #Ambedkarite #musician in 1986. @BawaRanjit ‘s recent song 'Mera Ki Kasoor' questioned caste and religion
