Today is phālgun amāvasyā. Today in 1689, Sambhaji Maharaj was murdered by Aurangzeb. 🙏

Here is the report from maāsir e ālamgiri:

“Mushrik, jahannum-nasīb, harabi qāti-up-tariq kāfir’s son was sent to deepest hell along with Kavi Kalash as per rulings of Sharia on 11/03/1689”
He was tortured from 03/03/1689 (phālgun krishNa Saptami) until 11/03/1689 (phālgun amāvasyā)

Skin flayed & hanged on walls of fort. Eyes gorged out. Tongue cut. Hands, legs cut. Ears, nose cut. Countless burns, cuts, bruises all over the body

Standard Sharia manual I suppose.
The charges were “looting Islamic cities, waging war against Islam, Killing Muslims” among few.
They finally beheaded him on phālgun amāvasyā. His head was desecrated and tossed around.

Tomorrow is guDHi pāDvā. It is Chaitra krishNa pratipadā. It is Hindu New Year.

Marathi people raise guDHi (a consecrated kalasha hoisted with saffron flag on roof to welcome new year).
Aurangzeb chose to behead Sambhaji Maharaj deliberately on this day. So his head was hoisted on a spear as a mockery of Hindu guDHi (new year) next day

It was a statement - An abhishikta vaidik Hindu king was killed by Islamic king. It was supposed to be a triumph over infidels
A typo. Tomorrow is Chaitra Shukla Pratipadā. Not krishNa.

Chaitra Shukla Pratipadā is Hindu New year.

what if France had invaded Germany just when Germany invaded Poland? in 1939?

War would have been over in few weeks, not 6-7 years.

Wonder what was France thinking in September of 1939.

They had divisions lined up on Maginot line anyways. They squandered a very good chance.
In September of 1939, France had 110 divisions on Franko-German border. Germans had 23.

If all those 110 divisions were mobilised to enter Germany, history would be different.
Hitler must have had balls of titanium to pull off this stunt. The sheer brazen audacity of it all is amazing. And the bugger pulled it off.

By end of September, Poland was done and dusted. All armies back on a French border. Window for quick war over.

On 9th April 1669, Shri Kāshi Vishwanāth Mahādèva was desecrated by Mlenchhas upon Aurangzeb’s order.

It was a day of solar eclipse. People had gathered to bathe and offer pūjā to vishvèvara mahādev. That is when suddenly Mughals attacked amd dismantled the temple.
The kufrashikan (killer of infidels), butshikan (breaker of idols), ghazi (religious Islamic warrior) that was Aurangzeb was doing what was right thing to do as per his religion. Killing Hindus and desecrating their temples.
The keshavdèva temple of Mathura (the last iteration built by a Bundela king named Narasimhadeva) too was razed similarly in the Ramzan of 1670.

The original vigraha of kèshavadeva is buried beneath the mosque built by Jahan Ara in Agra. He is still lying there somewhere.

This line of kālidāsa from kumārasambhava shows how Hindus looked at the word “Prthvi”.

उत्तर दिशा में हिमालय नामक देवताओं की आत्मा पर्वतों का राजा है, जो पूर्व और पश्चिम दिशा में स्थित दोनों समुद्रों में पृथ्वी के मानदण्ड की तरह प्रविष्ट होकर खड़ा है.
pRthvī is not just a generic word for planet earth or land.

It is also a specific word for India (land from himālayas to the (two/three) oceans is one rāshTra - पृथिव्यै समुद्रपर्यन्ताया एकराळिति).
Interestingly, one of the coolest regal epithets was of sātavāhana emperors found near paiTHaN (their first capital - which later moved to downstream of godāvarī) is त्रिसमुद्रतोयपीतवाहन. tri-samudra-toya-pīta-vāhana - one who’s mount/horse has drunk the water of all three seas.

He is actually right on this one IMO. This is not his idea anyway. Shesh Rao More has written on it in detail in Marathi.

Post WW1, question of independence was settled. Whom to hand over power to - was the question.
Gandhi’s role is to be acknowledged in this aspect. He made a case (like Jinnah) that secular Hindu dominated India was a contender just like a Muslim-nation case.

Islamic nation case is obvious and self evident for Xian British.

Hindus as one nation - Brits never understood
All important leaders post 1920 are in process of trying to prove to Brits that they are “nation”.

Nation as per Abrahamics is a self governable group of people with sense of belonging ness towards each other owing to some common features - language/race/religion/caste/something

MVA ki itni aukaat nahi hai. This is even beyond 🦊

MA was and is congress supporter (at least opposes Modi for some very important key reasons). Remember “congress to apni dukaan hai”, Nira Radia tapes?

This has globalists written over it. Soros types. MVA are useful fools
Few things cannot be shared. MA would like anyone in BJP but Modi and Shah to be PMs for 2-3 very specific reasons.

His support was instrumental in formation of abomination that is MVA. Anyways it is past now

He is a national asset. And someone wants it threatened.
The mahaul that Pappu has created against Hindu business tycoons is part of this strategy

How smart or dumb Pappu, his sister, jamaai, father and mother is - is irrelevant. They are the pawns of much sinister breaking India forces. They do as they are briefed by their handlers.

चिमणीला सापडला मोती. A very beautiful children's story (don't know its origins, reminiscent of Panchatantra though I've read Ramesh Mudholkar version) which introduces to children concepts of

1. Leverage of Power
2. Politics
3. Interweb of dependencies and weak-spots of targets
The sheer genius of Shri. Vishnu Sharma for composing Panchatantra to teach deep intricacies of politics to children and grown-ups alike is mind-boggling.

Short synopsis of it is thus :

A sparrow and Crow are friends. While foraging for food, Sparrow finds a beautiful Pearl.
Crow bring big, snatches it from small sparrow and refuses to give it back. Sparrow pleads but crow refuses to give it back

Sparrow goes to the tree on which they have nests. requests tree to shake crow's nest. Tree refuses - Why should I do it, crow hasn't done anything to me?
