Congratulations @vikramsampath and @sanjeevsanyal

You are the pseudo historians mentioned here.
Gate keeping 101.

Book is available for anyone to purchase for nominal price and trash with proper sources. No that we won't do.. instead we will insist on University Press and peer reviews.
What about the converse ? Supposedly peer reviewed and Academic seminar vetted Grandees who get their " research" demolished on Social Media ?

Oh wait, that doesn't count.

A rather unfrequented fort near Karwar (about 50km off) , in excellent condition. One of the best ΰ€­ΰ₯ΰ€ˆ ΰ€•ΰ₯‹ΰ€Ÿ you can see.

In fact only half hour from Gokarna.
Lot of Nag Sculptures can be seen stacked under a tree on the fort.
Crenellations and bastions in good condition.

Although Urdu was developed in the twelfth century, it never had a courtly status till almost 1750 !

Whole of the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal empire stuck to Persian as the court language. Image
Persian was the language of the elites. Not Urdu. Even though someone like Amir Khusro existed right from the thirteenth century.

Even Hindus, who wanted to join clerical jobs in the Muslim empires, learnt Persian - the official language of correspondence.
Urdu was developed in the barracks, consisting of common soldiers, riff raff and stragglers.

The places such folks frequented also became a place where Urdu grew.

At Delhi, it was adopted by Mohammad Shah Rangila around 1750.

Happy Dussehra
Dussehra 1741

Bhosales of Nagpur began their campaign to liberate Jagannath Puri
On Vijayadashami, military campaign would start after worshipping weapons and the Shami tree.

Pandavas in Mahabharat had hid their weapons in a Shami tree and took them after their exile to go to war

Someone explain how these ICSE schools work ?

What's the board there for ?

This passage is from a book used as a textbook for Class 7 , ICSE.

Max nonsense in ten lines :
Meanwhile Namdev
Namdev lived from 1270 to 1350. Exactly the time Maharashtra got exposed to equality and brotherhood.
