The stunning Vat Phou Temple of Lord #Shiva Tells Secrets of Laos' Past.
Laos is a country that we know little about, it is only in recent years that the nation has opened to the outside world. But the country has many important archaeological sites
@ibishwal
One of the most significant and important is Vat Phou, the ruins of a Khmer Hindu temple complex which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site
Based on archaeological evidence there was a temple on the site, which is on a mountain, since the 5 thcentury AD
@hathyogi1
At this time, the region came under the cultural and religious influence of India. Vat Phou was associated with the Chenla or #Champa kingdom . The temple was not far from the important city of #Shrestapura, which is now a ruin.

Let's start with meaning of "Hindutva".

We all know, the word "Hindutva" coined by Veer Savarkar.
He described "Hindutva" in his book "Hindutva".

1/n
आसिंधु सिंधु-पर्यन्ता यस्य भारत-भूमिका।
पितृभूः पुण्यभूश्चैव स वै हिंदुरिति स्मृतः॥

A Hindu means a person who regards this land of Bharat, from Indus river to Indian Ocean as his/her fatherland and holyland that is the cradle land of person's religion.
This is HINDUTVA.

2/n
The real meaning of "Hindutva" can be found in our Dharma Granths & Itihaas Granths.

Now, let's come to Vedas.
Bhoomi Sukta from Atharva Veda praises Matrubhoomi. Bhoomi Sukta tells us to respect Matrubhoomi.
Atharva (Kand 12, Sukta 1, Mantra Sankhya 1 to 63)

Secret Script of Sindhi Merchants
Among the Sindhi language speaking merchants of colonial India a secret script named Hat vāṇikī हट वाणिकी was used to keep accounts & business correspondence. The word "Hat vāṇikī" literally translates as "language of market traders".
This Brahmi based script was related to Khudawadī (another script used by Sindhi merchants) and Gurmukhi, the main difference being, absence of vowels markings (like an Abjad script) in Hat vāṇikī. It was more like a short-hand used by the global diaspora of Sindhi merchants.
An interesting anecdotes related to Hat vāṇikī is - a girl got married & went to live with her in-laws in another city. Some weeks later her in-laws sent a little note in Hat vāṇikī to her family saying that ‘Hiri miri veiahe’(‘She’s doing well’)...

When this regime is now hell bent on one nation, one language, I think it is high time to shed some light and rewind the Constituent Assembly debates on national language.

Listen to Sri. T. A. Ramalingam Chettiar

"...they (Hindi People) will have to realise that we too may have some patriotism like that, we may have some patriotism and love for our language, for our literature and things like that."

#StopHindilmposition
Chettiar added further

"After all, where do we stand ? We have got languages which are better cultivated and which have greater literature than Hindi in our areas."

#thread Gather round, my children, harken to my tale. So I'm hanging out at a bar full of furries & nursing a bottle of my favorite drink. It's time to begin the story of Date Masamune: epically flamboyant pansexual badass & 16th century Japanese warlord. It's #drunjhistory time!
Alright, so let's get this thing rollin, shall we?

The year: 1591. The place: Kyoto. Toyotomi Hideyoshi- this guy right here- rules most of Japan as imperial regent, and he is *pissed*.
See he's been trying to unify Japan for awhile and drag it out of nearly a century of constant war. His former boss, Oda Nobunaga, died trying to do it. But Hideyoshi is damn near close, and it's almost a done deal, when there's a revolt in the north.
