Whereas that Gandhi who was responsible for partition is world famous, there was another Gandhi who faded into oblivion after bringing Junagadh to Bharath.

#SamaldasGandhi was the son of Laxmidas/Kalidas Karamchand Gandhi, elder brother of MK Gandhi, Samaldas was a close
follower of his uncle, Mohandas.
He was initially part of Gujarati evening news paper Janmabhoomi. Due to some differences he left Janmabhoomi and started new news paper named "Vande Mataram".

When the Nawab of Junagadh acceded his state to Pakistan in 1947, Samaldas headed a
government-in-exile, "Aarzi Hukumat" or "Temporary Government" created by citizens of Junagadh with Rajkot as its capital to reflect the wishes of its majority population who wished the state to become part of India instead.
Samaldas was invited by Nawab’s Dewan Sir Shah Nawaz
Bhutto to accept the reins of the state of Pak based Junagadh, but Samaldas deferred to Bharath and asked Patel to send forces for Junagadh and its principalities, Mangrol and Manavadar.
What Patel did was a coup, he neither consulted Mountbatten nor Nehru, overnight troops
occupied Junagadh and with the help of Samaldas, held a pebliscite and Junagadh joined Bharat with 99% + people favouring it.( The above material I got from a book, India’s Bismarck written on Sardar Patel)
Unfortunately, Samaldas Gandhi remains unknown except for mentions here
& there. Infact, we have hardly very few photos of his & more disturbing is, there's no record about his life & death.

Yes, nobody knows where he died or when.

#Raghuveera – The distinguished scholar, Constituent Assembly member and Bharatiya Jana Sangh president who has been forgotten.
Congress, OK. Even BJP Forgetting Him?
Our tragedy is that successive governments denying Bharatiyas from knowing about people whose contribution was
ENORMOUS but erased so that there's only ONE FAMILY left to worship.

At a remarkably young age, he acquired two doctorates, one of them from Leiden. He made his mark as a Sanskrit don, but by that time, he had acquired proficiency in nine Indian and seven European languages.
His proficiency was such that he could not just read and write, but also conduct full-fledged lectures and orations.
One of his many monumental contributions was the collection of ancient Indian Sanskrit texts from different parts of the world — Mongolia, China, Malaysia and

ಎಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲು ಸಂಗೀತವೇ.....
ಎಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲು ಸೌಂದರ್ಯವೇ

ಕೇಳುವ ಕಿವಿ ಇರಲು ನೋಡುವ ಕಣ್ಣಿರಲು
ಎಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲು ಸಂಗೀತವೇ.
ನಿಸ ನಿಸ ರಿಗ ಸರಿಗ ಸರಿಗ ಮಪ ದಮ ನಿಸ
ಧನಿ ಧನಿ ಸನಿನಿ ಸರಿಗ 'ಮಗ ಸನಿ' ನಿದದ
ದಮಮ ಮಗಗ ಗಸಸ ಎಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲು ಸಂಗೀತವೇ.

ಭ್ರಮರದ ಝೇಂಕಾರ ಮುನಿಗಳ ಓಂಕಾರ
ಈ ಜಗ ತುಂಬಿದೆ ಮಾಧುರ್ಯದಿಂದಾ

On #Christmas, introducing few Jesus's flock who harmed Bharat in unpardonable ways.

Before that, a brief preface.

WE ARE STILL STUDYING WHAT CHURCH WANTED US TO IN 18TH CENTURY.
A text book claimed “The Advent of Europeans brought Light & Civilisation to India”.
I don’t think there’s any other country in this planet which has brutally stabbed its own glorious past like we Indians have done.
Century after Century, Church (Church of England, Scotland, France and Portugal) has spent Billions on India to extract Multi Billions from Donors.
How?
On one hand, they showed Little Existing Sati as India Burning, they showed Indians are Poor, they showed Indians push their Daughters to Prostitution, they showed Indians are always suffering from diseases without cure, they showed Indians as illiterate and the ignorant
