A lot of people call me Tattiveer. Am proud of it. Even @narendramodi must know about this.

My childhood was spent in Kolkata where waterlogging was common. Since childhood I saw my father and grandfather (who are no more) take long bamboo skin (baanspatti) + Image
They would get out to lane and road to unclog all drains. Even after IIM convocation, we had waterlogging next day. And we happily celebrated cleaning the entire area. Then, as always, we cleaned toilet before bath. Even till date, I am proud of superior tatti-cleaning skills. +
Even when I stayed in hotels, I always made point to clean my tatti and not outsource to housekeeper. Yes, my khandan taught me this valuable skill. Am proud of it. Feel free to call me tattiveer for my cleaning skills. Or Agniveer for other things I do. Its all same for me. 🙏
No, cleaning drains was not a profession of my father or grandfather. We were traders. We cleaned clogged drains because we didn't like disease breeding and dirt. Someone must take lead to clean it away fast.

जी हाँ। जो सनातन धर्म की आर्य पद्धति में विश्वास रखता है वह पहन सकता है। भारत में अनेक कन्या गुरुकुल हैं जहां बालिकाएँ इसे पहनती हैं। वाराणसी के पाणिनी कन्या गुरकुल ही चले जाइए। सावरकर ने कितने ही जनेऊ यज्ञ किए थे दलितों में।

किंतु @thewire_in से हो आप। आप को क्या लेना देना?
यह देखिए वीर सावरकर का सर्व जाति जनेऊ यज्ञ। हमारा @agniveer भी सावरकर की प्रेरणा से सर्वत्र जनेऊ संस्कार करवाता है। स्त्री पुरुष सब पहनते हैं। जन्मना जाति नहीं मानते। किंतु कर्म व मानसिकता अवश्य देखते हैं। @thewire_in को धूर्त एवं शठ मानते हैं।
यह देखिए @agniveer का यज्ञ जहाँ सब जनेऊ पहनते हैं। ऐसे सैकड़ों उदाहरण साझा कर सकता हूँ।
आप @thewire_in को छोड़िए। हिंदू घृणा वालों का कुसंग त्यागिये। आपका भी स्वागत है।

Hindi, English, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu and Tamil have more speakers than Urdu in India. (If we consider those who can "read" Urdu, the number will be much lesser)

Why does NCERT then publish books in Urdu? Why there is an Urdu promotion council under Central Govt since 1996?
Some morons justify neglect of Sanskrit by citing number of speakers. This is foolish.
1. Sanskrit is actually the most popular language of India because all Hindus use Sanskrit for religious/ cultural purposes
2. Almost all languages are derivatives of Sanskrit. +
3. Sanskrit is a framework. Technically, a form of Sanskrit can be spoken that is mutually intelligible with other Indian languages. Hence, Sanskrit is the root or the mother, other languages are children. And Urdu is a divisive imposition

There is no evidence of beef in any of the 4 Veda Samhitas. On contrary, there are ample mantras that declare cow as fountainhead of all prosperities. In fact, as per Vedas, nothing must be done to trouble animals.

Refer my book "Hindu's Fight for Mother cow" for details

ये नव वर्ष हमें स्वीकार नहीं
- रामधारी सिंह दिनकर

ये नव वर्ष हमें स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
है अपनी ये तो रीत नहीं
है अपना ये व्यवहार नहीं

धरा ठिठुरती है सर्दी से
आकाश में कोहरा गहरा है
बाग़ बाज़ारों की सरहद पर
सर्द हवा का पहरा है

1/n
सूना है प्रकृति का आँगन
कुछ रंग नहीं , उमंग नहीं
हर कोई है घर में दुबका हुआ
नव वर्ष का ये कोई ढंग नहीं

चंद मास अभी इंतज़ार करो
निज मन में तनिक विचार करो
नये साल नया कुछ हो तो सही
क्यों नक़ल में सारी अक्ल बही

2/n
उल्लास मंद है जन -मन का
आयी है अभी बहार नहीं
ये नव वर्ष हमे स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं

ये धुंध कुहासा छंटने दो
रातों का राज्य सिमटने दो
प्रकृति का रूप निखरने दो
फागुन का रंग बिखरने दो

3/n

Thread:
Swami Shraddhanand was star of Satyagraha movement and faced near-death situations to make it success.
However he dissociated from Satyagraha for following reasons:
1. Gandhi accused Satyagrahis for being responsible for being shot by police (like Godhra victims)
2. Lala Shankar Lal was falsely accused of inciting mob to beat a Muslim police officer Faquir Mohammad. Gandhi wired an order asking Shankar Lal to offer no defense. This prejudiced the court against Satyagrahis.
3. Gandhi would sent posters in bulk asking Satyagrahis to get arrested if police wants so. Other experimental posters were also sent (from safe zone).
Swami Shraddhanand had to burn these posters

When Swami Shraddhanand was murdered by Abdul Rashid, Mohandas Gandhi said: "..I have called Abdul Rashid a brother and I repeat it. I do not even regard him as guilty of Swamiji’s murder. Guilty indeed are all those who excited feelings of hatred against one another."
Gandhi had been blaming Swamiji for launching the largest Shuddhi (Ghar Wapsi) movement in history and hence upsetting Islamists.

There is no way I can even pretend to admire a person who makes murderer of my Gurudev his brother. I share same views on Gandhi as BR Ambedkar
Congress party made sure that name of Swami Shraddhanand, the most influential and respected leader of his time to whom even Gandhi owes his brand image, is completely wiped off from education and historical references.
