The Rigveda comprises 1,028 hymns organized into 10 books. Scholarly consensus holds that these books were not composed in their current numerical sequence.
In this thread, we explore the chronology proposed by Shrikant Talageri for the 10 Mandalas of the Rigveda.
Dr. Talageri proposes that chronologically based on internal structure and geneologic data, the temporal order for the mandalas is
6→3→7→4→2→5→8→9→10, with Book 1 containing material from multiple periods.
This chronology is established through several criteria: linguistic features, metrical patterns, ritual development, and geographical references.
The geographical data proves particularly revealing, showing a consistent pattern of expanding knowledge from eastern to western regions (proving the Out of India theory according to Dr. Talageri)
Who supported whom in the Mahabharata War?
We mapped every kingdom mentioned in the Mahabharata based on ancient texts and modern scholarship to answer one burning question:
Did your ancestors fight for the Pandavas or the Kauravas? [Thread]
The Mahabharata wasn’t just a family feud.
It was a pan-Indian conflict, drawing in tribes from Persia to Assam, Sri Lanka to the Himalayas. This war was for all purpose and intents a world war of that time. ⚔️🌏
Using the Kisari Mohan Ganguli translation and 7+ scholarly sources, we tracked down every kingdom’s role in the war.
🟠 Kauravas
🟢 Pandavas
🟡 Both
🔵 Neither
🔥 Kaurava coalition:
The northwest, Gangetic core, and some eastern powers.
Think: elite Vedic clans, early Indo-Aryan migrants, conservative powers.
Key allies:
Gandhara (Shakuni)
Kalinga
Sindhu (Jayadratha)
Madra (Shalya)
Kambojas, Sakas, Yavanas
How is Ganesha represented in countries beyond India - a thread
According to Adi Shankaracharya, like the Shaiva, Vaishnava and Shakta tradition in India, there also was a Ganapatya tradition. In this branch of Hinduism, people knew God through Ganesha.
After Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the Peshwas came to power in Maharashtra and were mainly responsible for the popularity of Ganesha worship as their ishta-dev. While Ganesha is mentioned in the Vedas, it was Puranic times when the deity gained popularity.
Let's discuss how the infamous Lollypop Lagelu lady impacted widespread regions of Bihar and some districts of neighbouring UP and Jharkhand to sway and shake.
As we all know, the region most impacted was Aarah - which isn't technically a district. It is part of the Bhojpur district.
As the line goes - तू लगवेलु जब लिपिस्टिक लगवेलु हिलेला आरा डिस्टिक, the region is said to 'shake' when the lady applies lipstick.
The next pair of regions that fall victim to the lady are the districts of neighbouring states - Ballia from UP and far away from the impact region - Jamshedpur (Tatangar)
गालिया प बलिया झूमे मुस्की प टाटा
The lady's cheeks claim Ballia, and her smile claims Tatanagar.
There are over 1000 varieties of mangoes in India. Less than 20 are grown commercially. The World's 36% of mangoes are produced in India [18 million tonnes]. Second, on the list, China only produces 4 million tonnes.
Despite being the highest producer in the world, the share of Indian mangoes in global mango trade is less than 3% - that too in the canned form. The share of fresh mangoes exports is negligible for India.
