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
Akbar himself had a large harem of wives and concubines which amounted to about 5000 women.When Mughals changed wives and concubines as frequently as clothes, why on earth would Akbar object to a courtesan?Apart from the fact that it has no source, Bollywood story is totally fake

Picture of Krishna Janmabhoomi taken in 1949. This place was considered by Hindus since thousands of years as birthplace of God Krishna. There used to be a grand temple here to Lord Krishna, whose ruins can be seen in this pic

Aurangzeb destroyed the temple and built this Eidgah
A closer look of this Shahi Eidgah built by Aurangzeb in 1670. Look closely at its base. We can see brick structures which are the ruins of the real Janmabhoomi temple. The mosque was built on top of the ruins.Hindus continued to frequent the ruined site and offer their devotion
Today, a new Krishna Janmabhoomi temple exists just outside the Mosque. This was built recently and its construction was completed in 1982.Hindus were allowed to build this temple after 1968 agreement in which they gave up all their rights over the land on which the mosque stands

Utter trash written by someone who is absolutely clueless about history or recent historical Genetic studies. False and illiterate historical claims(which I show below). Equally illiterate and clueless is this tweet. No facts. No objectivity. Only false claims and Hindu hatred(1)
2) No, Genetic studies make no such claim and prove no such thing. You (and the author) have not bothered to read anything and lack basic comprehension . Recent Genetic studies say Harappan BLOOD runs through veins of BOTH North Indians and South Indians

3) This is the most recent genetic paper written by world's renowned experts across various academic disciplines . It says the Harappan component ("Indus Periphery) among ANI(Ancestry North Indian) is 72% and ASI(Ancestral South Indian) is 39%

I tweeted a John Huber thread yesterday and also tweeted the link to this article. quillette.com/2018/09/07/aca…
But this thing kept me up all night. I didn’t sleep worth a crap, thinking about all the ramifications. So, I’m going to comment on it.
Here’s the basics. A mathematician was troubled by the fact that the Greater Male Variability Hypothesis was not backed up by math. There is plenty of evidence that the hypothesis is correct, but he felt compelled to prove it using mathematics. (Stick with me. I’ll explain.)

Idol Omega Jimin's heat strikes on full blow in the middle of a concert,

His manager Alpha Yoongi is freaking the fuck out. Having to take care of Jimin, shoo away other hungry alphas and think of the success of the concert all at the same time.
i'm starting this!

- do not reply to thread, only rt w/ comment

- if you spot any similarities to other works, it is by pure coincidence as i'm not some bitch who steals the fruit of other's hard work.

- do not read if uncomfortable
It wasn't like they never saw it coming, everyone who came 15 feet near Jimin could easily figure out that he was on the brink of it.

"You know you didn't have to continue with the concert right?" His stylist Taehyung spoke as he put hairspray in Jimin's blonde locks.

207. UCHE DIKE was an odd ball with a mild distasteful sense of fashion when he first gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe university in Anambra State, Nigeria.

Uche was one of those students in school who occasionally wore bogus long sleeved shirts...
208... and carton-coloured trousers that looked like something that came out of a thrift shop in the
1980's.

A geek eyeglass, an afro, a black duffle bag and a brown shoe that shares the same oddity with Uche's choice of clothing, was also part of his signature appearance.
209. Uche was an awkward young man which made him an easy target for bullies.

Sometimes he felt there was a mental sticker on his head that screamed
'Bully me. Bully me. Bully me'.

Uche was the real definition of "Fashion makes you stand out." His mentality...

(1) Your logic is just fine.

I must tell you that the hysterical rumbling about Mueller is sometimes incomprehensible to me.

There are several reasons for that.
(2) First, people forget who put Mueller where he is now.

He was not appointed by Obama.

He did not parachute from Mars.

He did not pop up after a rain.

He was appointed less than a year ago by the Trump administration.

(3) Who appointed him?

Rod Rosenstein, sinse the AG had recused himself from this matter.

It has come to my attention that not enough of you are familiar with the original story of “The City of Brass” from the 1001 Nights. This is awful. There are death-dealing statues and screaming jinn. Gather, dear ones, it’s story time.
(You may want to mute me if you’re not interested. This is going to be long.)
A little background. “The City of Brass” is one of the many tales in the 1001 Nights. You know, the stories Shahrazad tells to try and convince her horrible royal husband not to execute her the following morning.
