How different is this from what Bhindrawale and his goons did? A near 100% match.
Even this one. Sikhs have forgotten the excesses of Bhindrawale and his goons because non-Sikhs "desecrated" Harmandir Sahib. Are they in a mood to check why it was Harmandir Sahib and not Nanded Sharif?
Even this. Either that's how they are or someone studied Akali Movement before unleashing Bhindrawale on the world.
A slip. So, did Mahant Narayan Das fortify Nankana in anticipation of an armed attack?
Escalation matrix with no turning back
Even Shahbeg wasn't an isolated case!!
Demands for soldiers to rebel.
Ditto. Post Blue Star.
Bhindrawale's thugs creating a parallel state.

Europe was always treated to be the central pivot for the world history but the reality is, outside Roman Empire, European History before Colonialism was not even worth mentioning. Let me give you an example. How did Europe fare before the Mongols?
The whole Mongol enterprise in Europe can be divided into just four critical battles -
Battle of Kalka River, 1223
Siege of Kolomna, 1238
Battle of Mohi 1241
Battle of Legnica 1241
After the Cumans were destroyed, they fled into Kievan Rus. A combined Russian force under the personal control of Grand Prince Mstislav of Kiev and comprising units of Cumans, Kiev, Galich, Chemingov and others(18 Princes in total) blocked the Mongols on Dneiper River.
So, as like everything else, we were taught lies about Mahant Narain Das(the old man in the image) and Saka Nankana, then.
What we were told? He and his Pathan mercenaries attacked the Akalis who marched on Nankana and massacred them on Feb 20 1921. What was the trigger? Do we know?
What are the charges of the Akalis? Appropriation. Any proofs? We don't know. But, one thing is certain. Nankana's revenue is 5 lakhs and everyone would want that. But, more importantly, he refused to become Keshdhari.
Half knowledge is too dangerous. And let's not forget the Marathas who liberated Sikhs from Muslim yoke. Had Raghunatha Rao not attacked Abdali and had the Marathas not mauled Afghans beyond redemption at Panipat, there wouldn't have been a Sikh Empire.
And what did the Sikhs do in return? They stayed aloof in Panipat. That, after Raghunatha Rao diverted his troops to Punjab from Rohillakhand because Abdali desecrated Harmandir Sahib. Now, let's see what the Sikhs did. Tegh Bahadur was a Mughal commander.
At least till the time of Arjan Dev, Sikhs were formally treated as Hindus. So, when did they become separate from Hindus? Anyways. Let's not forget how Tegh Bahadur's daughter-in-law betrayed Banda Bahadur -
This single image traces the currect theological outlook of both the Abrahamics. Never thought it's this straightforward.
What does this image represent? 1. Jesus is divine is not accepted even till 700 AD completely. 2. Holy Ghost not accepted till 400 AD
With the brute force of Constantine the Wife Boiler, all these attributes were shelved in due time.
From Jesus being a human being - a just another teacher, the religion evolved over centuries to represent a union of three - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Indian Medicine for Chinese Virus - Brazil President tweeted this in response to India giving vaccines to Brazil. Almost 100 countries approached India over the vaccine for Chinese virus looks like.
Even China conceded that it lost to India.
But my topic here is not Chinese Virus or Vaccine Diplomacy but Lord Hanuman. There is a temple in Tamil Nadu at a place Ayyangarkulam for Lord Hanuman. It was built by Lakshmi Kumara Tatacharya, the Guru of Vijayanagara Emperor.
