Probably one of the biggest political mysteries for most youngsters today is: "How does BJP, a relatively newer party, manage to get such strong support base even from foreign countries and NRIs in general". The answer to it might surprise many, but it's Narendra Modi.

Contd...

Narendra Modi whose efforts during the 1980s, had laid the foundation for such a cult following abroad.

Almost 4 decades ago, when BJP was still in infancy, most of the international media had started peddling false agenda, depicting BJP as a Hindu mil!tant party which resorted to v!0lence, thre@ts, etc, which in turn had begun to sway public opinion even among Hindu NRIs.

That's when the top brass at BJP felt it was high time they worked on an image building strategy based on truth/facts, and thus formed a small team of young and dynamic, yet highly intelligent RSS workers, who were sent to the US for the project.

Interestingly, the team was headed by none other than the young Narendra Modi (1st from right in the photo), who had already gained recognition in the party for his coordination & technical skills.

Along with Modi, Ananth Kumar (4th from left in the photo) was also part of the team, and the team visited US several times to meet some of the top American politicians to explain their ideologies which were based on Dharmic principles and dispel all myths.

Meanwhile, Modi went a step ahead, and thanks to his coordination skills, he managed to bring together several small groups of like minded NRIs, and provided them all necessary help to start volunteer org which eventually evolved into chapters like "Overseas Friends of BJP".

All these volunteer organizations (whose seeds were sown by Modi & his team), went on to spread the message of BJP organically, thereby building a very strong support base for the party among most NRIs in all foreign countries.

And that's how the foundation laid by the young Modi & his dynamic team, helped BJP gain international recognition over the decades.

Most of us have might have already read about the "secularization" of Kerala, where youngsters are being radic∆lized to such an extent that many have been joining global Izl∆mic forces in the Middle East.

Contd..

One of the main reasons for it is the disproportionately high percentage of Muzl!m population (a whopping 35%). But one thing which intrigues many is: How did Kerala end up with such high percentage of Muzl!m population.

The simple answer to it is: Tipu Sultan.

Almost 2.5 centuries ago, Tipu Sultan, who ruled significant parts of Deccan, had cherished the dream of establishing an Izl∆mic Caliphate. Hence he embarked on a journey of conquering neighboring territories and using threats to convert them en-masse into his religion.

Most of the narratives about Modi's rise has been about his role as tea maker in RSS office & as event organizer. But one particular aspect which many tend to overlook, is his creative contributions to RSS/BJP as a "Voice Artist" for the party's media management team.

Contd..

Thanks to his deep voice and oratory skills right from his younger days, Modi was handpicked by the top brass for various voice recordings which could in turn be used as election campaign material to reach out to masses.

In fact, during elections, Modi used to spend hrs & days at recording studios to produce tons of audio tapes in multiple Indian languages, sometimes filled with emotionally strong messages which struck a chord with the masses helping the party garner support during the eraly 80s.

Today's millennials will be surprised to know that there was a time when almost 100% of households in India used to apply cow-dung (mixed and diluted with water) on floorings on a regular basis, to keep insects and germs at bay.

Contd...

That's because cow-dung is one of the rare natural substances which has antibacterial property and thus works as a natural disinfectant.

Interestingly, in most ancient homes, the floor itself would actually be made of a thick & dried layer of cow-dung, because it would have insulation property as well, which automatically regulated internal temperatures of homes.

Thread: #PrideMonth

In Nazi concentration camps, each prisoner was required to wear a downward-pointing, equilateral triangular cloth badge on their chest, the color of which identified the reason for their imprisonment;

1/n

A pink triangle was established for prisoners identified as homosexual men, which also included bisexual men and transgender women. The pink triangles were slightly larger than the other colored triangles so that guards could identify them from a distance.

It is said that those who wore the pink triangles were singled out by the guards, and when the guards were finished with them, some of the other inmates would harm them as well.
