When Patel got the news that Junagadh has fallen, Munshi was by his side. He said to Munshi, Now Somnath Can be Built. That is called clarity of thought.
A Christian writes to Gandhi asking how India can spend money on building temples and Gandhi concurs 🤦🏻‍♀️ While Nehru completely opposed building of Somnath Temple, Gandhi wanted it to be funded by Hindu public and Patel wanted state to build it.
Forgot to tell. That Christian fellow said even the exchequer of Junagadh shouldn't fund the temple. But love for Gandhi was more than anything else. When Gandhi asked him to, Patel concurred and said Centre will not fund Somnath reconstruction.

The debate over law and order comes to the forefront yet again. Law and order - both can be maintained with equal zeal. One needs to take precedence over the other. Will that be Order over Law or Law over Order?
In other words, what do governments prefer - looking away the other side when law is broken with impunity in the fear that acting against the offender will lead to large scale rioting on the roads?
Or will the government gear up to uphold the sanctity of law and punish every single one trying to break it? There are many examples. Take the Tablighi Wuhan Wave. Or Bangalore Riots. Or the destruction of Temples in Andhra.

The more you read about of Hitler, the more you curse those who let him grow. Another tidbit. In the first weeks of German occupation of Austria, 79000 people were arrested. Guess who were the first two? The two sons of Archduke Franz Ferdinand,
whose assassination led to First World War. Why did he hate the Habsburgs that much? For two reasons.
1. He was shovelling snow when the Royals were partying in Vienna.
2. Austro-Hungarian open border system which allowed people of "inferior races" encroaching upon the
facilities which Germans should enjoy.
Franz Ferdinand was a symbol of that liberalism which Hitler hated - the one which differentiated the European Monarchies from Nazi Mental State - rather than marrying into an exalted German Noble family,

Well, I was looking into some old files on my computer and see some unfinished project over Nazi Stamps. That sucked me into another round of reading over Second World War. The question is this. What caused Second World War? If you want an answer in a single word, it's EGO.
When kings fought wars, there was never a concept of personal glory and they knew when to call quits - on one side, they can't afford destruction of their own country and on the other side, everyone is related to everybody. These are just the big three. Image
Victoria is called Grandmother of Europe and Christian of Denmark was called Grandfather of Europe - literally everyone is descended from them!! In fact, Kaiser Wilhelm was a pall bearer for Queen Victoria - that close they were. Let's ignore why the First World War happened

One very imporant and oft forgotten fact in world history is the role of Scottish Crown Jewels. They are probably the last European Crown Jewels of a major kingdom manufactured before Colonialism kicked in. Almost untouched except for the four gold strips, one would notice that Image
the crown is not as rich as the British crown or even the Bavarian Crown and other European regalia. ImageImage
The sceptre. Silver Gilt. Gifted by the Pope. Image
