In Feb. 1824, Ram Mohan Roy wrote a letter "Prospects of Christianity" to Harvard's Henry Ware where he recommended bribing "outcast" Hindus to convert & of his offer to send "as many" Hindus as possible to a Christian neighbor, to convert Hindus with a salary of Rs. 8 per month.

The letter titled "A Letter on the Prospects of Christianity & the means of promoting its reception in India" was a reply to Unitarian Christian preacher Rev. Henry Ware of Harvard who sent him a list of questions to work out a strategy on how Hindus of India could be converted. Image
Ram Mohan Roy discussed how Hindus were refusing to convert to Christianity & made recommendations to promote it. His suggestion was to establish English schools as a sneaky way to introduce Christian ideas so that the minds of Hindus could be prepared for eventual conversion. Image

One of the biggest myths is that Mughals invented the miniature school of painting in India. But Akbar under whose rule miniature "Mughal" painting supposedly developed had 17 eminent court artists - out of which a whopping 13 were Hindu, due to their superior artistic skills.
🧵

Image
Image
Image
Artists like Baswan, Lal, Daswanth, Kesu, Mukund, Haribans, Jagannath, etc. from castes like Kahar, Kayastha, Chitera, Silavat & Khati, show Hindus from all castes were the creators of the best "Mughal" miniature paintings, but the credit was given to Persians in Mughal courts.
Image
Image
It is said that Mughals like Akbar appointed Persian painters to teach Hindu artisans how to paint on paper, but even before Mughals entered India in the 1520s, the Malwa school was producing intricate miniature paper paintings of scenes from Bhagwat Puran & other Hindu epics.

Siraj ud-Daulah impregnated Madhavi, his own Hindu official Mohanlal's pretty sister. Terrified that his grandfather Alivardi Khan would find out, Siraj tied his newborn baby to a horse’s back & shot an arrow at its leg to ensure the horse would bolt wildly & kill the baby.
🧵
Image
Image
A panicky Madhavi begged her brother Mohanlal to save her baby. Mohanlal immediately rode off, somehow managing to stop the horse & rescue the infant. Mohanlal, a Kashmiri Pandit, was shocked by Siraj’s action & left Murshidabad with his sister Madhavi & her baby for good.
Image
Image
Alivardi Khan heard the news & discovered why Mohanlal had left. He knew Mohanlal was a loyal & trustworthy asset for the kingdom. So, he shrewdly decided to stall his decision at any cost by putting the condition that if Madhavi converted to Islam, he would let her marry Siraj. Image

Chaitra Shukla Pratipada is NOT just regional.
Ugadi - Yug (era) + Adi (new start) or Samvatsarādi is the 1st day of Hindu lunisolar New Year & the day when Sri Brahma created the universe
Gudi (flag) + Padwa (Pratipada) refers to ancient Vedic Indradhvaja festival on this day
🧵


Image
Image
Image
Also called Samvatsārambha-utsava it was when rituals of eating Neem, offering cool drinks, offering oil to Brahmans & women, reading omens, presenting gifts to scholars, listening to the almanac were all specified in Sanskrit texts Sāmrājyalakshmīpițhika & Jayasimhakalpadruma

Image
Image
Image
On this day, Vedic Indra-Dhvajapūja (Śakrācā) festival was celebrated where Kolams were decorated, auspicious Maņgalāśāśana was recited & the decorated red banner (Dhvaja - Gudi) was raised on a bamboo staff or wooden post to honor Indra & start the new year on an auspicious note

Imagine if Be****liity, pedo, necro, sexual slavery, marital r@p3 - were NOT punishable by legal code. Such legal code from the authoritative Islamic Hanafi lawbook Al-Hedaya STILL guides Sharia in courts & is taught to scholars in Madrasas in India TODAY.
🧵 Image
Over 90% of Muslims in India, Pakistan & Bangladesh follow the Hanafi school of Islamic law. Their most authoritative text is Al-Hidaya by Al-Marghinani (12th c.). Hidaya is the primary guide for Hanafi law in Sharia courts & several years of study are devoted to it in Madrasas.
Image
Image
The Hidaya says that If a man has two wives one of which is an INFANT & the other adult & if the adult wife feeds her breast milk to the baby wife, then both wives become prohibited to him. This clearly shows that by law, pious Momins can “marry” even milk drinking infants! Image

Time to bust your pathetic LIES portraying barbaric Mughals as syncretic saints celebrating Holi. Your own source Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri itself proves Eid-e-Gulabi/Aab-e-Pashi is NOT Holi but a Persian festival called Ab-i-Pashan held in in Persian months Khordad/Tir (June-July) 🧵


Image
Image
Image
Mughals who never identified as Indians but identified with Islamic Persian culture used the Gulab Pash - an elongated rose water vase with a perforated sprinkler. Akbar introduced the festival Ab-i-Pashan in Tir/July to his court, where Gulab Pash is used to sprinkle rose-water.

Image
Image
Image
In his autobiography Tuzuk-i-Jahangir, Jahangir clearly refers to celebrating the Persian festival Gulab Pashan on the 13th of the month of Tir (July). This simply CANNOT be Holi which is celebrated in March - Jahangir himself mentions later that "Hindu" Holi is held in March. Image
