Gangi Jamuni Tehzeeb Wali "historian" Rana Safvi writes an article about a temple in Shahjahanabad which she claims was built in capital Shahjahanabad during Shahjahan's reign.

ranasafvi.com/shahjahanabad-…

Is it true? Was Shahjahan so secular that there were temples in capital? (1)
Of course, it is false.There were 28 Mosques in Mughal capital but not one temple. Attached Snippet is excerpted from American Historian Stephen Blake's research on Shahjahanabad(The table from ASI).
There was not a single temple in Mughal capital until their decline in 1739 (2)
Clearly, @iamrana's claim is false. ASI's archaeological record shows there was not a single Hindu temple built in Mughal capital Purani Delhi(Shahjahanabad) until Mughal decline in 1739.

Where does she get this fake info? Of course, Wikipedia! (3)

Anarkali was a favorite wife of Mughal emperor Akbar. Akbar's son Jahangir (Salim) had a secret sexual relationship with her. When Akbar came to know about this illicit affair, he buried his wife Anarkali alive

Contemporary testimony of English merchant William Finch (1608-1611)
English Merchant William Terry(616-1619) corroborates the testimony of William Finch.He even reveals that Akbar threatened to disinherit Prince Salim( Jahangir) if he did not keep away from Anarkali. Further, we know from Abul Fazl that Jahangir wandered about the harem of Akbar
The story of Salim and Anarkali as depicted in Bollywood films like Mughal--Azam is fake and most of it is recently fabricated.

Jahangir had 300 wives, and the total number including concubines was about 1000 ( Terry and Finch ) . Many of them hailed from lower social strata

A view of Rangamandapa of Koppeshwara temple in Khidrapur, Maharastra (old name: Koppam)

The construction of the temple commenced during the reign of Silahara king Gandaraditya (c.1120 CE) and was completed by his grandson Bhoja . Bhoja was defeated by Seunas and Konkan annexed
Although the Seuna king Singana continued donations, he did not erect any new structure.

The temple has a star shaped Garbhagriha, Antarala and Gudhamandapa on the outside. The architecture of the temple shows that it was visited and worshiped especially during solar eclipse
Temple is around 100 feet tall (excluding pyramidal Shikhara).It was extensively destroyed by an army of Islam during one of Aurangzeb's invasions of Maharashtra. The remains are its ruins.

While the temple is primarily Shaivite, there is a mutilated image of a huge Adivaraha

American historian @audreytruschke claims that the word "Hindu" referred to any non-Muslim Indian and did not denote any specific religious community until 19th century. This is a blatant lie. It is a very widespread myth that in Pre-modern India "Hindu" meant any non-Muslim (1)
Many people claim that the word Hindu in Medieval Muslim Chronicle refers to any Non Muslim and Non Christian. This myth has also been lapped up by Hindu nationalists who claim that "Hindu" referred to any to any Non-Muslim Non-Christian Pagan of India. Is that really so? (2)
As always, primary sources debunk the whole myth on first look.Take the description of Arakan(Rakhine) on Bengal border in the medieval Indo- Muslim historical chronicle "Riyaz Us Salatin"

He describes the population of Chittagong hills,who are primarily Buddhist even today. (3)

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

A small thread about Univision, The Clinton (Foundation), Hill-n-Bill flying coach, The Onion, Gizmodo,
hopefully SEIZED ASSETS
etc..
Univision partnered up with the Clinton Foundation in massive ways years ago.
This was well known.

politico.com/story/2015/05/…
A couple months before HRC announced her campaign in early 2016, Univision purchased The Onion, and Gizmodo, and a bunch of other media stakes.

(1) "SPYFALL"
(2) There is an origin story for everything. And so, to understand the origins of SpyGate, we must first go back a few years.
(3) In mid-2000, the energy company Enron in Houston, TX had a stock price of $90.75, only for it to plummet by the end of November 2001 to less than $1, and end up in bankruptcy on December 2, 2001.

Bored at work today
1.) Kirin Ranger's Daisuke Tsuchiya was originally cast as Ryuu Ranger, but was changed after doing some test shooting
2.) Most of the Showa Sentai actors fell out of touch with each over the years and mostly connected again through Facebook
