This is 2nd october we all know its birthday of Gandhi who is known in India as a man of principle,
According to historians his three principles were there. 1- Dont see bad 2- Dont do bad 3- Dont hear bad.
Firat read this thread and then decide about him was he overrated or under
History of Gandhi in India starts from the year 1915 but I will start from the year 1900 Boer war and he was in SA as assistant superintendent of the Indian volunteer stretcher-bearer corps.
about Boer war he wrote in his auto biography :- 👇
When the war was declared, my personal sympathies were all with the Boers, but my loyalty to the British rule drove me to participation with the British in that war. I felt that, if I demanded rights as a British citizen, it was also my duty,
From Delhi sultanate time the invaders attacked on our temple and looted them and destroyed,
Does not matter it were mughals or Britishers or portuguese.
Why?
Because from Ancient time our temples are the center of Art and culture. @Sanjay_Dixit @ElvishYadav @ReallySwara
So our temples were not only rich economically but also rich in power,wisdom and culture.
There are many temples in India which are still myth for the science or where science does not work.
Like Jagannath puri temple,
64 yogini temple,
The temple of banaras which is tilted 9.5°
So the invaders wanted to ruin our not only economically but also by culture and wisdom too.
Because our temples earning was very much high so to stop this mughals imposed jajiya tax on us because they were earning huge amount of tax from our temples.
1568,Akbar captured the fort of Chittorgarh.Rajputs fought under leadership of brave Jaimal and Patta Sisodia. To save themselves from being captured by Mughals and made slaves, 1000s of rajput women commited Jauhar on 23rd February 1568. On the next day Rajputs commited Saka.
She is Pritilata Waddedar,
On the date of today 24 september 1932 when she was just 21, she decided to be martyr than to be caught by britishers,
How many of us know about her?
Not even 0.1% Population of India.
Lets know about her in this thread. @Sanjay_Dixit @RekhaSharma1511
She was born in 5 May 1911 in Chatgaon West bengal,
She was very much intelligent and that time she completed her graduation in first division,
Soon she got inspried from the revolutionary leader of bengal Surya kumar sen.
Do you know she got her degree after 80 year?
Reason behind it was because she usually go for a meating with Ramkrishna vishwas and he was later hanged by the britishers.
She became the member of Bachar sansthan which was loyal to britishers and thats why she was furious with this samsthan. @HiteshAwasthi89 @Indigen_Apsara
We are the oldest civilization in the world,
We made Panchanga and introduced first calendar in the world.
We have given three samvats till now to the world 1- Yugabda Samvat 2- Vikram Samvat 3- Shak samvat
Now what is panchanga,
In hindi or sanskrit,
पंच+अंग Means which have 5 parts,
So our panchang too have 5 parts
1-Tithi
2-vaara
3-Nakshatra 4- Yoga
5-karana.
Tithi- Tithi means basically the day but we calculate the day from rising of the sun.
Vaara- Its basically the 7 days
