India never supported Sri Lankan Tamils wholeheartedly in the fear that they will fan separatist flames in India. But something worse is happening in Myanmar now. The Christian Mizo are daring the Central Govt to set up an independent Christian Chin state.
Will Centre stay silent or will it fix the mess before the flames spead everywhere for demands of Christian Fundamentalist Kuki-Chin and Nagalim Superstates? Manipur will be in the line of fire if we don't act in time and we don't want the Meitei to become the next Bru or Chakma.
India is lazy to implement Curzon Doctrine and South East Asia is soon becoming the new global theatre. When East Timor or South Sudan were created out of nowhere due to external pressure, do you suppose Myanmar can hold on without Indian support? Zomi and Naga state maps. ImageImage
And yes. The issue is serious. A considerable number of police defected in Chin State. Chin are 90% Christian.
And I can never forget this. Here, we have a Chief Minister who refused to recognise a foreign government and contacted the deposed Government without going through proper channels. Only Pathian can save these lands. Image
Why won't they, when they are in a position to achieve something which Chin National Army failed to achieve in decades? A Myanmar under siege and a vacillating India - can there be a better recipe for them?
This is Chin State which is trying to secede using Mizoram as base. What happens to Sittwe Corridor? If you support the Chin, Myanmar will cancel the project. If you don't, Chin terror attacks will set you back by decades. Why did we land ourselves in such a soup? ImageImage

Just think realistically. China wasn't able to maintain its position in Ladakh for one winter and it is dreaming of challening India in its backyard? 90% of Nepal's trade passes through India. Do you have an alternate?

CPEC units turned bankrupt even before the whole project is completed. The parasitic beggars's use was seen when they refused to mobilize towards Khaplu when the Chinese are stuck in Ladakh and importing Taliban into Xinjiang is the worst thing China can do.
To maintain a position in Himalayas really costs. And when you need to trudge thousands of kilometres of occupied lands to reach Indian border, you will really bleed money. Many empires collapsed trying to garrison Tibet and Tarim. The CCPoohs seem to be the next in line.

Gandhi's grandfather was the Diwan of Porbandar and his mother's family managed the main Pranami temple of Porbandar. Just think what sort of a family background Kasturba would have come from.
Gandhi forced her to do what he did - his Harijan Seva and all, he gave away all her jewel - the ones which she brought from her parents, forced her to wear that coarse khadi, she saw her son ruined before her eyes because of Gandhi's obstinacy(he died of syphillis later)
and ultimately died of depression. What sort of a life she envisioned before marriage and what sort of a life she got? I am sure she would have cursed her parents daily for sending him to England for his education.

I was supposed to look into Google BERT and here I am, reading about Arab Caliphates (in an attempt to close my reading on Shahis). And know what? The whole narrative of Arab Enterprise till the rise of Abbasids can be defined through just two words - plunder and al Hind Miskeen!
So, what's the story all about? It all started with Uthman becoming the Caliph of Islam. When Persian and Syria were conquered, those rich lands became the property of invading armies and were loosely managed by the state.
By the time Uthman came to power, the Arab expansion came to a screeching halt. And the supply through plunder of new lands came to a near stop. With this, Medina had to demand money from the already conquered provinces - Uthman appointed his relatives to senior posts and

Abdur Rahman's The last two dynasties of the Sahis is considered to be the best book over Shahis. But, I am not getting any confidence over this. Compare these two sets.
I am interested to know how knowledged this gentleman is, on Sanskrit original of Rajatarangini and other Hindu/Buddhist books on the topic.
One should be realistic enough. Pakistan has fought three wars with India and no Indian will have access to Chhota Lahore or Hund. All they can quote is from some other reference or from historic memory.

The father in law of a Khotanese king in Gosthana Vyakarana - this single line tells much about Lalitaditya Muktapida than anything else except Kalhana's Rajatarangini. But, there is no mention of Lalitaditya here. What do we know of him and his achievements?
Next bit of information, from Petech's Kingdom of Ladakh. No reference to Lalitaditya even here!!

I don't know how many times I told this story before. This is the story of the end of the mighty Kabul Shahis. When Trilochanapala became the king, Mahmud of Ghazni decided to invade the kingdom for another round of plunder.
Trilochanapala anticipated it and asked his father-in-law Tunga, the defacto ruler of Kashmir to help. Tunga marched to Nandana but on hearing the news that the passes are blocked and Mahmud can't cross the Khyber, he returned back. Eventually, Mahmud came.
Trilochanapala sent his son to hold Mahmud as long as he can and went to Kashmir to get an army. Trilochanapala's son Bhimapala, immortalized in history as Nidar Bhim took his stand in Margalla Hills blocking Mahmud's way. A spirited defence it was, Mahmud was stuck for more than
