#BabasahebAmbedkar is the only Indian who tops the world's 1st talented person, according to Cambridge University, England 2011.
Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was a master in 64 subjects. He had knowledge of 9 languages like Hindi, Pali, Sanskrit, English, French, German, Marathi, Persian, and Gujarati. Apart from this, he studied all the religions of the world in a comparative way for almost 21 years.
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar is one of the most complex personalities in recent history. Read this thread to know more about #Savarkar, the man, revolutionary and #Hindutva demagogue.

Unfortunately, when the debate is polarised between the extremes of black & white, it does not do justice to the complex personality of #Savarkar as a man, revolutionary, reformer, #Hindutva ideologue & an accused in the assassination of #MahatmaGandhi.
What makes #Savarkar stand out among his contemporaries is his strong hero complex bordering on narcissism, and the extreme and often contradictory elements of his personality.
It is claimed that #VDSavarkar had no relationship with the #RSS. But, this is not borne out of historical evidence. Read this thread to know more.

While in the Ratnagiri jail, where Savarkar was shifted in 1921 from the Cellular jail in the Andamans, he wrote his seminal work ‘Essentials of Hindutva,’ which laid the foundations of Hindutva as an ideology.
It laid emphasis on cultural nationalism as against a territorial one, and said that India was for the Hindus alone, and not for the Muslims or the Christians.

Executions of 23RD MARCH 1931 marked the collapse of the hopes of millions of Indians who had believed that #MahatmaGandhi would be able to save the lives of the three young heroes - Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru.

@RahulGandhi has been sentenced to two years in prison in a criminal defamation case. He was convicted by the court in #Gujarat state for 2019 comments about Prime Minister @narendramodi surname during an election rally.
In the speech, #RahulGandhi referred to the PM and two Indian businessmen, all surnamed #Modi, while talking about alleged high-level corruption in the country. “Truth is my god,” he tweeted after the court verdict, quoting India’s iconic freedom fighter #mahatmagandhi .
The two are not related He will not go to jail immediately - he was granted bail for 30 days and will file an appeal against the conviction. The @INCIndia party MP was present in court for sentencing, which comes a year before general elections are due.

#Maharashtra produced some of his staunchest supporters like Acharya Vinoba Bhave and Sitaram ‘Appasaheb’ Patwardhan, who was referred to as the ‘Konkan Gandhi,’ and his most bitter critics, like Dr #BabasahebAmbedkar and V.D. #Savarkar.
Sardagriha opposite the office of the Commissioner of Police, #Mumbai was #LokmanyaTilak's lodging and base in the city. It is here that he took his last breath in the wee hours of 1 August 1920. Tilak's mortal remains were kept for darshan on a chair in this balcony.

Thousands braved the pouring rain for his darshan. Women did their artis before the wicks were extinguished. Tilak's procession to Girgaon Chowpatty was joined by around 2 lakh people including mill workers. One of the bearers of his mortal coils was #MahatmaGandhi & the other
was Maulana Shaukat Ali. The Parsi merchants of #Mumbai ensured that necessary permissions for his cremation on the beach were secured & provided sandalwood logs. As Tilak was being cremated, a grieving Muslim youngster threw himself into to the fire & was singed.

Born on March 25, 1920, in Saras, Gujarat, Usha was just 22 when she helped establish the underground station Congress Radio, which amplified #MahatmaGandhi’s message of rebellion.
After the clarion call to #QuitIndiaMovement was blown on 9 August 1942, a young Usha told her father that her education would have to wait and left her home to contribute to the freedom movement.
For a fortnight, there was no knowledge of her whereabouts.

In which @HinduAmerican exposes its true colors. For HAF, the Mughals were the enemies. Just why? Half the Mughals were born in India. They were Indians. But Hindutva bigots like HAF see Muslims as non-Indians. In true sense HAF is Godse’s ideological progeny.
You never ever hear @HinduAmerican say one word about the brutal violence being carried out against Muslims and Christians in India by Sanghi mobs. You have to assume that HAF supports all this bigoted violence by Hindu extremists in India.
While @HinduAmerican claims to follow #MahatmaGandhi why doesn’t HAF ever talk about Gandhi’s vision of a composite Hindu-Muslim India? What is HAF’s view on the @RSSorg whose member #NathuramGodse killed Gandhi?

India's relations with the outside world will be the other test before we can claim to be on solid ground. This essentially means dealing with other countries, especially our neighbours and the big powers, in a manner that ensures peace and security.

According to the theories that currently carry conviction, there are three basic ways of achieving this result—
>>coercion,
>>payment
or
>>attraction.
This mix is regarded as the mantra of a good national

Bhawanrao 'Balasaheb' Pantpratinidhi (1868-1951) who ruled Aundh in #Maharashtra was an unusual king. His work at reforming criminals & convicts inspired V.Shantaram's acclaimed ‘Do Aankhen Barah Haath’ (1957). Balasaheb was born on 24 October 1868

Unlike rulers who tried to cling to power even when the end of British rule was evident, #BalasahebPantpratinidhi handed over the reins of the state to the people much earlier in an experiment inspired by #MahatmaGandhi. He also helped freedom fighters & revolutionaries.
In a sense, #BalasahebPantpratinidhi was among the reformist kings who tried to birth welfare states in colonial India. He was also associated with one of the most popular forms of exercises—the suryanamaskars.

On 30 January 1948, three bullets fired by #NathuramGodse claimed the life of #MahatmaGandhi as he was walking to his prayer meeting at the Birla House in #NewDelhi. However, even before that fateful day, there were multiple attempts to assassinate Gandhi.
In 1897, Gandhi was assaulted by a mob of Europeans in Natal. He was attacked by a group of Pathans in South Africa (February 1908). In 1914, some Muslims were upset that clauses in a bill that formalized the Gandhi-General Smuts agreement had denied polygamy, which amounted to
"If Bose comes with the help of Russia, neither Gandhiji nor the Congress will be able to reason with the country"

Pulitzer-award winning US journalist Louis Fischer met Gandhiji in July 1946. Govt of India financed, Oscar-winning movie "Gandhi" was based on Fischer's biography of Gandhiji. No one knew what transpired in the meeting in 1946.

After Fischer's death, his papers reached Princeton University, and lo, tumbles out the secret. There was a letter written on behalf of Gandhiji by his secretary Khurshedben Naoroji, granddaughter of the great Dadabhai Naoroji, first Indian to become an MP in the UK. 3/
A little-known nugget about Netaji #SubhashChandraBose. At a time when most politicians supported prohibition, he was among the few who opposed the idea. #Netaji #SubhasChandraBose #history
The Bombay Presidency Government under Balasaheb Kher (Congress) had decided to impose prohibition from 1 August 1939. Netaji, who had then had quit as the Congress president, stood by the Parsi community which was opposed to prohibition & criticised the govt for this decision.
However, #MahatmaGandhi was upset at this & issued a statement from Abbotabad (he was touring the NWFP). Earlier #MahatmaPhule had pointed to the adverse social effects of liquor. #LokmanyaTilak had joined forces with Muslims & Christian missionaries to clamp down on liquor vends

The story begins when Vallabhbhai Patel heard about a leader, Mahatma Gandhi his reaction to this was “We already have too many mahatmas” & when he heard that the Mahatma believed that India can gain Independence from Satyagraha and Ahimsa, Patel laughed and made others laugh.
Even more with his ridicule of the “crank” and sarcasm about Gandhi's “brilliant ideas.”
