Today is Mahanavami. The Goddess appeared as Mahishasura Mardini today. Let me collate how Goddess Bhadrakali of Warangal is depicted these nine days. Names, I am not completely sure, though.
1. Bala Tripura Sundari
2. Annapurna
3. Gayatri
4. Mahalakshmi
5. Lalita Maha Tripura Sundari
6. Bhavani
7. Saraswati
8. Rajarajeshwari. This form, I wasn't able to get an image from this year as Ashtami and Navami came on the same day. This image is from the last year.
9. Mahishasura Mardini.
The Navaratri forms from the last year.

If I say Garba and all those, whatever their origins are, the only purpose people take a part of it is for community bonding and Hindu power projection?
It is a well attested observation that the collapse of Hindu Empires before Islam replaced Yagas with carnivals. A private affair involving a ceremony became a carnival where the king or whoever it is started the celebrations. It's not that they weren't there before (Prabhalu in
Andhra for example). In two words, religion hit the roads as a response to Islamic invasions. Were the people reveling in it pious? Were they really interested in puja or bhakti? Who cares, till the goal is to bring all Hindus onto the roads?

Jokers can never be any better than jokers. Take Gobar Times, for example. What it sees is the overall capability while it is supposed to look at what happens in case of a quick, sharp war?
Now, let's have a closer look at the second plot. Looking at the overall military picture, one would see that India has an overwhelming edge in Experience and Command and Control. On the troop strength and economic resilience, both are on par. And this is China's situation
when it's defence expense beats India's by a scale factor. That's not the end of it. When theatre of engagement is Ladakh or Arunachal Pradesh, what exactly is Chinese Navy going to do? Indian Navy still has a use because it can block Chinese shipping through Suez and Malacca.

If a kingdom crashes from the peak of it's power to non-existence, do we ever think of their heroes? There are very few kingdoms whose heroes are known but nothing is known after the collapse of the kingdom. Take Kakatiyas for example.
Prataparudra's career was victory after victory with a few reversals. What happened to all those great commanders? He defeated the Yadavas, Pandyas, Hoysalas, Kampili and even the Delhi Sultanate. But then the kingdom fell crashing down, what happened to those people?
Let me name some of them.
Induluri Annayadeva, Kolani Gannaya(Tripurantakam), Adidamu Mallu(Nellore), Gona Vitthala(Raichur) - Tripurantakam Campaign 1289-1294

This is what Amir Khusro said over Malik Kafur's Warangal expedition. One shouldn't have any problem with this paragraph. But, there is a problem. Where is this Anamkanda Hill?
This is not what is equated to the hill from which Hanumakonda got it's name(Padmakshi Gutta) simply because the hill contains a 2000 year old temple and there are at least three main Kakatiya Temples in that area -
Padmakshi Temple on the hill itself, Siddheswara Temple and Bhadrakali Temple. Now, with their penchant for destruction of Hindu temples, one would be surprised that none of three temples are desecrated. Why?

India vs the World. While we diss everything Indian, the world laps up everything Indian, however improbable it is.
Another one. Iran says Ayurveda is 5000 years old, India says Ayurveda is a quackery.
And this one. I came across this story of Gestapo picking an Indian Vedic scholar Viswanatha Sastry from Rajahmundry area to use his knowledge of Indian scriptures to make weapons many times, whatever the truth in it.

Was going through Burton Stein's Vijayanagara from Cambridge History of India. My rating? 3/10. Any opinions on his writeup?
I saw two major flaws in his writing.
1. His derision of anything Indian, this despite the fact that Krishna Raya's Vijayanagara is
the second largest city in the contemporary world and Vijayanagara "gifted" the mighty Portuguese Goa.
2. The kings of Vijayanagara didn't have any control on the kingdom except for the immediate vicinity of capital city. They survived on token vassalage and share in collections.
A few snippets.
Ekachatradhipatya mocked by saying a part of Karnataka is not the whole world. Care to check the title of the King of Portugal in 1500 or may be, the Treaty of Tordesillas? Image
