In this thread, you will see an example how they are trying to paddle fake agenda by citing "laughable/substandard references" in the field of #History
• Wiki Page - Battle of Haldighati
• Fake Agenda/Claim - Mughal Victory
1/6
2/6
To substantiate the claim "Mughal Victory", two references are cited
• 1st ref. - The Mughal Empire at War (pic 1)
• Writer - Andrew De La Garza (pic 2)
This book released in 2016 only and has only 4 lines for this battle p56 (pic 3)
Issues with this citation are ...
3/6
Issues in 1st citation -
• Cited reference is absolutely insufficient as it doesn't contain any primary material to support claim of Mughal victory
• Writer has no credential on his name to get cited on subject like "Battle of Haldighati".
• Place = Manda village, Zanskar Valley (#Ladakh)
• Dating = 50 BCE (~2000 yrs ago)
Pic 1 – Zanskar Valley on Map
Pic 2 – Found Petroglyph
2/3 ~0.6 mtr stone piece has a carving of स्वस्तिक using a sharp stone tool. Such an art is first time discovered in this region and probably in #India too.
3/3 From a nearby sanctuary, स्वस्तिक variant carved on a stone plate (See the image) is also found (~50 BCE)
It is not a petroglyph but an important connecting link of Swastika with #Ladakh region from the same era as of the petroglyph depicted in the above tweet
