Absolutely bunkum @thewire_in

Jha ji cites, Romila Thapar & Shokoohy to claim that Arabs defended Somnath.

Truth is that the primary source , Al-Biruni doesn’t talks about such incidence.

Both Thapar & Shokoohy have just fabricated a story.

I dare any historian to prove it
Dear @thewire_in , in this review of of Romila Thapar’s
"Somanatha, The Many Voices of a History" #MeenakshiJain ji destroys the propaganda so well.

The same book is one of the source of Prem Shankar Jha in this non-scholarly article.
web.archive.org/web/2014121804…
Interestingly, author Jha, claims in the article that Kathak & Khayal Gayaki were born in period of Amir Khusraw.

What a joke.
The roots of Kathak is found in "Natya Shastra". Even the conservative Marxist historians place this text 3-4 centuries before so called birth of Jesus
Dear @thewire_in we find, Kathak in Bharhut stupa. Again the conservative dating places it two centuries before the so called Jesus was born.

Tell your author, Shri Jha to not make such claims that Kathak was born in period of Amir Khusraw.
The Mudras found are "Pataka Hasta" as shown in the quoted tweet.

I really feel sorry for people for @sardesairajdeep etc who get fooled by these eminent historians.
The term "Kathakas" as the "reciters of sacred lore" is found in "Adi Parva ".

"कथकाश्चापरे राजञ्श्रमणाश्च वनौकसः |"

And the term Kathaka actually comes from "Katha" itself.
The author of @thewire_in talks about "Architecture."

Does he even know what he is trying to talk about?

The amazing trait of Kailasha Mandir can out do any architecture like Taj. We dealt with fractals ages ago.

If they were so great then why no Taj in Samarkand?
And since they are talking about Architecture, how are they going to deny the documented 40K+ Mandirs which were destroyed by the Islamic Invaders?

The structures that you build by demolishing traditions can't be called "Architecture". The are symbol of tyranny.
I don't know for how long are they going to drag this lie that Khilji saved India from Mongol invasion?

Khalji identified himself as a Muslim Turk & the so called Mongols fought on Turkic mercenaries.

That apart they all were Trurco-Mongols in reality.
In terms of brutality, Allauddin Khilji was no different than any Turk who were prepared to attack India on the side of Mongols.

And one of the major reason for failure of Mongol Invasion was the series of plagues. This paper may clear it a bit carnegiescience.edu/news/war-plagu…
This argument is one of the most laughable.

So just because some Rajputs were given place in courts, it would wash off the massacres of Garha, Chittor and so on and on.

They themselves have penned their intention to destroy Kafirs clearly.
Again a nonsensical statement.

Though I can cite thousands of primary sources, I cite one to refute it.

"... he (Mahmud) issued orders that in the places conquered, mosques be raised and Hindus be converted to Islam." - Zayn al-akbar
And then comes this useless claim about Islam being anti-case and hence voluntary conversion.

Who can be better person to quote than Dr Ambedkar who goes on to say that Islam is no alien from caste & it was cause for slavery too in India (image 2, 3).
Dear @thewire_in evidences for Ambedkar showing caste-system in Islam is contained in this thread. This thread also has part of Ambedkar's book where he says that Slavery existed in India only because of support by Islam.
What @thewire_in @JhaPremshankar ? Bhakti Movement and Sufism being compared?

What is wrong with you? Sufism mellowed Islam?

Aurangzeb was a Sufi and the Islamisation of Kashmir at force of sword occurred at hands of Sufi Bulbul Shah.
It seems that author has no clue about "Islamic Tradition."

According to Ibn Taymiyya, "the primacy of the sharia forms the soundest tradition in tasawwuf (Sufism)."

Al-Ghazali's works set the structuralism of Sufism. Read this book books.google.co.in/books?id=ppiuQ…

The root of racism is in Christian Theology. Black people according to them were beasts & hence deserved to made slave.

As per the Christian Identity theory, Adam and Eve were only the ancestors of white people.
hey say that before, Adam & Eve lived non-Caucasian races which are identified as "beasts of the field"(Genesis 1:25).

As precedent, the 'beasts'which wore sackcloth & cried unto God (Jonah 3:8) are identified as black races.
Now, interestingly to support this, Christians direct us to the Hebrew etymology of the word 'Adam' which is = 'be ruddy, red, to show blood'.

James Strong's Hebrew Dictionary talks about it.

1/n #SadarPranam to Ishvara within you @dhume

Once, it was considered that Greece was "mother of democracy". But recent discoveries have contested

If not all, "Democracy" seems to have certainly originated first in India as/ latest researches.

2/n We came across the Rakhigarhi Excavations.

It took the whole world by shock for the revelations it brought.

It happened to be a civilization (6.5+2.0) KY BP*

*Thousand years before present
3/n Here as stated by Dr Shinde, the Panchayat found on the site is around 5.5 KYBP.

We do not find any evidence of Monarchical Set-Up across any Indus Saraswati Civilization belt. tribuneindia.com/news/archive/f…

SR Goel also said:

"The Arya Samaj was the first Hindu movement to take up a bold stand in this context. Maharshi Dayanand himself had showed up Muhammad for the sort of man he was."

in his book, "Freedom of expression: Secular theocracy versus liberal democracy."
SR Goel writes, "He (Dayanand) made a positive contribution when he pointed out that India had inherited a spirituality and a culture which were not only indigenous but also intrinsically superior to the imported creeds and cultures...
...He encouraged and enabled his people to reawaken to their own inner sources of strength, and hold their heads high in the face of foreign invaders. He was the first to use the terms Swadeshi and Swarajya.

There was a period, when every Hindu Organisations including Ramkrishna Mission, Hindu Mahasabha, Arya Samaj spoke of Shuddhi (re-converting to Hindu Fold) & wanted Hindus to give away shackles of caste for same.

Instead of blaming them as reformist & Christian stooges+
One need to understand Politics, situation of that period.

Why all were on same page?

Recently we came across a case where a BJP’s MLA’s mother converted to Christianity.+
A thing was observed that a child deemed to be Shudra by birth ran into the Mandir & heavy fine was imposed (₹25,000).

It is high time to realise that such incidence don’t lead to conversion.

Well let me simplify my stand.

1) There is no historic evidence for Euclid

2) Elements was actually a work of empirical proofs & not deductive (1st proposition itself is proof of two arcs by empirical method)
3)Post Crusades (after 7 centuries), Church brought logic in play & declared that metaphysical Mathematics began with Euclid, although they couldn't notice that it was actually dealing with empirical proofs.

4)It became an error for metaphysics of church
but went on being unnoticed till 19th century.

5) It was admitted that other empirical proofs (such as the proof of Proposition 4 or the side-angle-side theorem) are essential to the proof of the “Pythagorean” theorem in the Elements.

Today, b'coz of our understanding of particular context, time, history wrt affiliations,may end up setting differences with Hindutva.

But get in drilled in mind, today they are attacking word "Hindutva",tomorrow they will do same to"Hinduism" too.

They have problem with Hindus.
They have issues with exactly that parts of Hinduism, that touched few parts of our history aided by British misinterpretations.

You claim that preserving "Jati System" would preserve "Hinduism", but there they are hitting you exactly there in name of Hindutva.
It is high time that we get over our obsession with seeing superiority as prescribed by Sampradaya that we subscribe too.

The merger of Sampradayas for common cause, with own ideas being limited to not superseding others should be the idea.
