Research (CSIR) publication.
"I owe everything to the mechanical education I received from that American magazine," he told a newspaper many decades later.

Heard the name #JamesMill?
James Mill's highly influential History of British India(1817), most particularly the long essay 'Of the Hindus' comprising ten chapters – is the single most important source of British Indophobia and hostility to Orientalism.
Dear Readers, this thread

with brief history and quotes will leave you distraught for sure and in the end, all you can do is weep, blame the destiny and will be searching for words in the end.

By 1802,

unable to find a parish and disillusioned with a religious career, he "emigrated" to England. There he quickly obtained a position as editor and writer, married, and began to raise a family. To secure his position & to defend the reason behind British intervention in Indian

Reportedly, his last words were "I'm okay!".

Perhaps no military general in the history of independent Bharat has ever captured the national imagination in the way #FieldMarshalSamManekshaw did.

One of the chief architects of Bharats's 1971 victory against Pakistan, Manekshaw

was born on this day in 1914 at Amritsar for Dr. Hormusji Maneckshaw & Heerabai.

In July 1932, he joined the Indian Military Academy as part of its first batch. It is believed that he did this as an act of rebellion against his father who refused to send the young boy to London

to study medicine.

Manekshaw joined the first intake of the IMA, Dehradun in 1932. After the partition of Bharat he was reassigned to the 8th Gorkha Rifles. Manekshaw was seconded to a planning role during the 1947 Indo-Pakistani War and the Hyderabad crisis.

In 1961,

When released from prison after serving 1 year R.I., he was felicitated by Motilal Nehru.

On his jayanti, let us know more about
#KeshavBaliramHedgewar, the man behind Sangh.

In May 1921, Hedgewar was arrested on charges of “sedition” for his “objectionable” speeches in

Maharashtra. The hearing of the case began on June 14, 1921. After a few hearings, he decided to plead his own case and read out a written statement on 5/8/1921.

After hearing it, Justice Smelly said: “His defense is even more seditious than his original speech!” In his

August 19 judgment, the judge ordered Hedgewar to give an undertaking in writing that he would not deliver seditious speeches for 1 yr, and furnish a bail bond of Rs3,000.
Hedgewar’s response was terse: “My conscience tells me that I am completely innocent. A policy of
