1. Thread on the family lineage Nehruvian India's first Minister for Education, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad - which is also intertwined with the family lineage of Jawaharlal Nehru himself.
2. Maulana Azad's maternal great-grandfather Shiekh Qazi Sirajuddin, came to India from Herat (Afghanistan) with Abdali's invading army. Abdali appointed him Qazi of Punjab and advisor to Nuruddin, his viceregent in Abdali's 'Punjab Sultanate'.
3. He later died during at Multan in a battle with Maharaja Ranjit Singh's #Sikh army - a fact that Maulana Azad notes bitterly in his memoirs, though takes pride in his martyrdom.
1. Next 21 tweets on #Sikh tradition's relationship with different languages & scripts in Indic core & extended MidEast/Mongol/Tibet/E.Asian family.
What were the cultural undercurrents of the first Sikh movement towards Indicization?
What derailed this?
What about the future?
2. #Sikh Guru Angad ji pioneered the re-introduction of Indic script in Punjab. Rolled back imposition of modified-Arabic script.
#Gurmukhi is derived from Sharada script of #Kashmiri Hindus. Related to far flung Tocharian script. Is only surviving member of that script-family.
3. #Sindhis, Hindus from #NWFP & Hinglaaj (present-day #Balochistan), + today's #Kashmiri Hindus' Indic scripts have lost currency. Most now use modified-Arabic script.
These groups should consider adopting #Gurmukhi as script for their languages as they reclaim their identity.

ETHNIC CLEANSING & CULTURAL GENOCIDE IN #KASHMIR
Since the coming of #Islam to #Kashmir, since 1389 there have been 7 recorded exoduses of Kashmiri #Hindus and #Sikhs due to genocide and persecution at the hands of radical Islam.
2/n The first exodus OF #Hindus from #Kashmir (AD 1389-1413) was under the Shah Mir Dynasty. Tourists may not notice that the iconic Dal Lake has a mass grave of Kashmiri Hindus known as "Bhatt Mazar" or "grave of Brahmins".
3/n The second mass exodus (1506-1585) of Kashmiri #Hindus and #Buddhists was under Ali Shah Chak Dynasty, which made the persecution of Kashmiri Hindus a royal policy.
They boasted that they killed 900 Hindus daily for refusing to convert to Islam.
1/n A thread:
Illuminating #Bible passages on how a #pagan deserves only deceit, dissimulation and to be taken advantage of - even when he extends help.
Even if fellow-#Abrahamics are mortal enemies, a Pagan who extends shelter to one never really wins their loyalty or trust.
2/n The scene: David flees Israelite territory. King Saul is trying to kill him, no matter how much David tries to prove his bona fides.
David + 600 soldiers (w/ families) take shelter with Philistine King Achish of Gath - pagans the Israelites hate.
