A secret buried in the family. There was this famous writer who died in 1940s. He was my mother's brother-in-law. After marriage, his in-laws funded his law education and there, he loved a girl there. Forgot the name. The name of that girl starts with S.
Because Hindu marriage doesn't accept multiple marriages, he converted to Islam and married her. His brothers and sisters didn't accept that marriage stand by his original wife and eject him out of the house. They reconciled a decade or so later and I never heard of any friction
between the two women after that. Another fact not known outside the family - his first wife's brother is the traditional trustee of one of the main temples in India - it is reputed that the Lord came in the dream of one of the family members in 1800s and
asked them to dig at that place to reveal the idol. That's another thing not commonly known - that temple is only 150-200 years old. Another brother of her's was a noted Professor in one of the front ranking universities in India. Sorry, no names please. This is all family lore.
Sorry. It's 1990s. He studied in 1940s and died in 1990s
No need of even doing that. All they need to do is to ensure state govts don't hijack Modi's achievements and they become talk of the town. Just get out of your cocoons, talk to people, make them aware where the credit should lie. More than enough.
There is this incident. Nirmala Sitharaman suddenly stops at a ration shop in a remote village enroute to her destination. She sees the CM's face printed on the provisions. The discussion goes thus.
NS to the Dealer: Who is giving this rice to you?
Dealer: CM
To a customer: Who is giving this rice to you?
Customer: CM
The District Collector and MLA were squirming at what's happening.
Another thread on the mental acrobatics behind the Aryan Invasion and Sudra Invasion Theories. There is a chance that such sort of an invasion exists in historic memory. There are three kinds of invasions which happened in Europe -
the kind of Mongols and Huns - who came, pillaged everything and were pushed back, the kind of Magyar and Vandals who entered Europe but didn't exactly topple Empires - they carved their own kingdoms and surely, didn't impose their culture on the civilized Rome.
The third one is that of Yamnaya or the Celtic invasion which no one remembers - this is the actual Aryan invasion. The local culture and even genetics is wiped off and the invaders brutally imposed their culture and genetics on European Women.
This creature is a perfect example of what socialism is. It comes from a uber-capitalist country flush with money which is diverted to social spending - other words, irresponsible and impractical socialist ideas from those whose futures are secure.
We tend to forget that every socialist country is a capitalist country before it became socialist. Wealth redistribution happens only if wealth exists. And socialism proved it time and again that it can't generatr wealth. Sitting in the cozy luxury of a capitalist funded longue
and maintained by the polluting industry is easy. The realisation that she will freeze into non-existence if she relies on solar power and there is a snow blizzard or on wind power and wind suddenly stops is hard.
Wow!! Till now, I am assuming Mahatma is a honorific given to Gandhi out of respect. But, it turns out that was formally passed as an order by someone who wanted to curry favours with the high command!!
NB Khare became the Premier of Central Provinces and Berar in August 1937. Some reason, Sardar Patel was against him and a lobby was formed against him in the cabinet.
The politics against Khare went on with Rajendra Prasad also joining the bandwagon along with Patel and Gandhi. The three who refused to resign(led by Ravi Shankar Shukla) were sacked. A new ministry was formed without the three and this made Congress even angrier.
Let's not forget that Tejaswi Surya and others had to open their mouths because there is no action coming against the likes of Owaisi and Sarangum. Rather than fixing the cause, we specialise in wasting energies over the effect.
Both Tejaswi Surya and Haridwar Dharma Parishad said what they said because Constitution failed to protect their interests and they vented their frustration. Are they correct or wrong is irrelevant here. Why did they say what they said that is the only thing which matters.
Its been more than a decade Akabruddin ranted. He became an MLA two times after that. His brother silkily sidesteps the discussion whenever that rant is referred to. Kamlesh Tiwari is executed in broad daylight. In India, illegal infiltrators entering through
I don't know how to read this but this is my synopsis of the video by @DanDavisWrites.
Stage 1: Isolated settlements plagued with internecine warfare
Stage 2: Invasions and consolidation. What was no more than 2 hectares before grew to settlements
as big as a rare 60 hectares. Another reason for this is collapse of a civilization which moved South into Po Valley.
Stage 3: Stability and extensive trade routes - the first time in history in Central Europe and beyond.
Stage 4: Over exploitation of nature and drastic change in climate(consequence of over-exploitation?).
Parallel to this, the old world saw a major tectonic shift - the Hittites. Their long drawn wars with Egypt forced kingdoms to gang into groups to protect their trade routes -
