• Muslim Corridor:

Back in the mid 20th century when the whole world was in awe with mainstream media's appraisal of Gandhian ideologies like "sacrifice" and "turning the other cheek", the same ideologies were turning out to be highly detrimental for India's future.

Contd..

As Gandhi was determined to go the extra mile in appeasing certain sections. The best example which illustrates this point is none other than that of his nod for Jinnah's idea of a "Muzl!m corridor"!

When the British had finally come up with the latest maps related to partition, Jinnah was furious, since the parts of Indian subcontinent which went into the formation of Pakistan were much smaller than, thus giving rise to his infamous phrase "Moth eaten Pakistan".

Moreover, the maps depicted his nation comprising 2 different regions (West & East Pakistan), separated by 3000 kms of Indian territory, which caused further heartburn, as it would mean extensive challenges in administration & military.

Hence, as compensation, Jinnah demanded Gandhi to give up a long belt of land within Indian territory, stretching all the way from Rajasthan, to UP, through Bihar & WB, which could be carved out as part of Greater Pakistan.

So that the entire stretch could be used as a corridor to connect West & East Pakistan and it was decided to name it "Muzl!m Corridor".

As expected, Gandhi had no qualms in giving up that entire stretch of Indian land, without realizing how it could end up splitting India itself into multiple parts, further creating several "mini pakistans" within India, and thus threatening national security.

Fortunately, Sardar Patel, who was the HM of interim govt, immediately intervened and strongly opposed the idea & even went stating that no such fantasies will be entertained anymore, and thus Jinnah & Gandhi were forced to dropped the idea of "Muzl!m corridor" altogether.

Truth Bomb:

Dowry is bad. But Alimony is worse. In case of former you have the choice. In the latter case, you have no choice but to pay alimony. If paying someone to marrying you is illegal then paying someone for divorcing you should also be illegal.

Contd..

On one fine day feminists are modern independent individuals for whom dowry is demeaning to their self respect and on the next day they're helpless victims/ abla naaris whose demands for alimony (legalized extortion) is justified.

Kind of getting the feeling that feminists want all the perks of being men but not the responsibilities/consequences of being men.

It's high time people realize that third wave feminism isn't asking for gender equality but "Heads I win, tails you lose" scenario.

The story of "India's biggest betrayal" goes back all the way to 1970s, when Morarji Desai had finally managed to fulfill his long cherished dream of becoming the PM.

Contd..

The geopolitical situation back then was highly volatile, since Pakistan was desperately trying to develop nuclear weap0ns.

Interestingly, our RAW officers (who were operaring as spies in various parts of Pakistan) had already managed to find out details of how and where exactly their nuclear weap0n was developed.

When the devastating second wave hit India, he was rightly questioned for lack of preparedness and an approach that was unscientific. Being the leader of the government, his approach indeed caught the country off guard, and led to a humanitarian crisis.

Contd..

Continuing with election rallies, festivals, lack of focus on sequencing, not paying heed to scientific advice for preventive measures further compounded the problem that the devastating delta variant posed.

This is what separates a good, strong and sensitive leader from one who isn't. He corrected the course very quickly. Realising the scale of catastrophe that hit India in the last part of April, he provided the leadership the country required.

"I go into the Upanishads to ask questions." - Niels Bohr

During our schooldays, we were taught about the extensive contributions of western scientists like Niels Bohr, who had come up with theories related to atomic structure, wave-particle concepts, etc.

cont'd..

However, one vital aspect which our school textbooks forgot to mention was that most of his research was deeply influenced by our Vedas & Upanishads!

Despite being born & brought up in a Chr!stian environment in Europe, Bohr had started showing interest in ancient Indian scriptures during his research as scientist from 1920s.

THREAD: #GaneshChaturthi

Why do we immerse Lord Ganesha idol into water after worshipping it?

- In India, for thousands of years Hindus have made idols and then immersed them in water. Many foreigners feel it is a strange thing to do.

Contd..

Why is the God Ganesha decorated ceremoniously and worshipped lovingly for several days and then immersed in the sea, river, or lake? There is a beautiful concept behind this immersion.

The real secret of worship is in making an idol and then letting it disappear; giving a shape and form to the idol, and then letting it vanish onto the formless. It is all symbolic, the act of making an idol of Lord Ganesha, worshipping it, and then immersing it in water.
