Why do distorians like Audrey Truschke twist history & try to link Hindutva to Nazism without proof, but never discuss factual evidence of how the Nazi regime allied with Muslim groups? Thousands of Muslim soldiers fought in the Axis army & Adolf openly admired Islam Image
2
Albert Speer, who was Reich Minister of Armaments wrote a memoir called “Inside the Third Reich”, in which he records Adolf’s views on Islam. The German leader didn’t just admire Islam, he wished that ancient Germans had converted to Islam instead of Christianity.
3
Speer refers to Adolf’s talks with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini in Nov. 1941, to discuss shared interests. As a result of that meeting, Husseini would help the Secret Service by raising a group of thousands of Muslim volunteers to serve the German Army.
4
Al-Husseini (Arafat's ancestor) joined the payroll as a secret agent & instigated a pro-Nazi coup in Iraq later. He actively urged regimes in Europe to transport Jews to death camps. He trained several Muslim brigades for Adolf’s army & funneled their loot into Arab countries.
5
In his talks with Husseini, Adolf openly regretted that Germany did not become Muslim in the 8th c. during Battle of Tours, when Islam almost conquered Europe. He believed Arabs were racially inferior, so Islamized Germans could have headed the global Muslim Empire.
6
In "Hitler’s Table Talk", a collection of his private, informal words behind closed-doors that were recorded by his closest Nazi aides, Adolf repeatedly expressed contempt for Christianity as a “Jewish invention,” & openly admired Islam, wishing Germans had converted to it.
7
Historian David Motadel, in his book "Islam and Nazi Germany's War," reveals the deep links between the Third Reich & Arab groups. Muslims were treated as allies & explicitly exempted from any racial discrimination by command of the Supreme Leader himself.
8
The Nazi regime patronized allied Muslims with a wide range of religious policies & propaganda. As early as 1941, the Wehrmacht distributed the military handbook "Islam" to train its soldiers to behave well towards Muslim populations. Many admired Adolf as a hero.
9
They ordered the rebuilding of mosques, prayer halls, & madrasas to mobilize Muslims. The Wehrmacht army & paramilitary SS recruited tens of thousands of Muslim soldiers to fight on all fronts. They were granted religious concessions & exempted from the ban on ritual slaughter.
10
Muslims in Syria publicly hailed Hitler as a hero in 1940. Evidence indicates that Nazis also forged an alliance with Arab nationalists to plan to extend the Holocaust to the Middle East. Mufti Al-Husseini was funded to create unrest in Palestine & later sponsored Arafat.
11
Truschke completely ignores historical facts about the alliance between Muslim groups & Nazis; based on Anti-Semitism. Instead, she demonizes Hindutva, using guilt by association, without any proof. Her motivated attacks & lack of scholarship indicate a clear malafide agenda.

One of the biggest myths is that Mughals invented the miniature school of painting in India. But Akbar under whose rule miniature "Mughal" painting supposedly developed had 17 eminent court artists - out of which a whopping 13 were Hindu, due to their superior artistic skills.
🧵

Image
Image
Image
Artists like Baswan, Lal, Daswanth, Kesu, Mukund, Haribans, Jagannath, etc. from castes like Kahar, Kayastha, Chitera, Silavat & Khati, show Hindus from all castes were the creators of the best "Mughal" miniature paintings, but the credit was given to Persians in Mughal courts.
Image
Image
It is said that Mughals like Akbar appointed Persian painters to teach Hindu artisans how to paint on paper, but even before Mughals entered India in the 1520s, the Malwa school was producing intricate miniature paper paintings of scenes from Bhagwat Puran & other Hindu epics.

Siraj ud-Daulah impregnated Madhavi, his own Hindu official Mohanlal's pretty sister. Terrified that his grandfather Alivardi Khan would find out, Siraj tied his newborn baby to a horse’s back & shot an arrow at its leg to ensure the horse would bolt wildly & kill the baby.
🧵
Image
Image
A panicky Madhavi begged her brother Mohanlal to save her baby. Mohanlal immediately rode off, somehow managing to stop the horse & rescue the infant. Mohanlal, a Kashmiri Pandit, was shocked by Siraj’s action & left Murshidabad with his sister Madhavi & her baby for good.
Image
Image
Alivardi Khan heard the news & discovered why Mohanlal had left. He knew Mohanlal was a loyal & trustworthy asset for the kingdom. So, he shrewdly decided to stall his decision at any cost by putting the condition that if Madhavi converted to Islam, he would let her marry Siraj. Image

Chaitra Shukla Pratipada is NOT just regional.
Ugadi - Yug (era) + Adi (new start) or Samvatsarādi is the 1st day of Hindu lunisolar New Year & the day when Sri Brahma created the universe
Gudi (flag) + Padwa (Pratipada) refers to ancient Vedic Indradhvaja festival on this day
🧵


Image
Image
Image
Also called Samvatsārambha-utsava it was when rituals of eating Neem, offering cool drinks, offering oil to Brahmans & women, reading omens, presenting gifts to scholars, listening to the almanac were all specified in Sanskrit texts Sāmrājyalakshmīpițhika & Jayasimhakalpadruma

Image
Image
Image
On this day, Vedic Indra-Dhvajapūja (Śakrācā) festival was celebrated where Kolams were decorated, auspicious Maņgalāśāśana was recited & the decorated red banner (Dhvaja - Gudi) was raised on a bamboo staff or wooden post to honor Indra & start the new year on an auspicious note

Imagine if Be****liity, pedo, necro, sexual slavery, marital r@p3 - were NOT punishable by legal code. Such legal code from the authoritative Islamic Hanafi lawbook Al-Hedaya STILL guides Sharia in courts & is taught to scholars in Madrasas in India TODAY.
🧵 Image
Over 90% of Muslims in India, Pakistan & Bangladesh follow the Hanafi school of Islamic law. Their most authoritative text is Al-Hidaya by Al-Marghinani (12th c.). Hidaya is the primary guide for Hanafi law in Sharia courts & several years of study are devoted to it in Madrasas.
Image
Image
The Hidaya says that If a man has two wives one of which is an INFANT & the other adult & if the adult wife feeds her breast milk to the baby wife, then both wives become prohibited to him. This clearly shows that by law, pious Momins can “marry” even milk drinking infants! Image

Time to bust your pathetic LIES portraying barbaric Mughals as syncretic saints celebrating Holi. Your own source Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri itself proves Eid-e-Gulabi/Aab-e-Pashi is NOT Holi but a Persian festival called Ab-i-Pashan held in in Persian months Khordad/Tir (June-July) 🧵


Image
Image
Image
Mughals who never identified as Indians but identified with Islamic Persian culture used the Gulab Pash - an elongated rose water vase with a perforated sprinkler. Akbar introduced the festival Ab-i-Pashan in Tir/July to his court, where Gulab Pash is used to sprinkle rose-water.

Image
Image
Image
In his autobiography Tuzuk-i-Jahangir, Jahangir clearly refers to celebrating the Persian festival Gulab Pashan on the 13th of the month of Tir (July). This simply CANNOT be Holi which is celebrated in March - Jahangir himself mentions later that "Hindu" Holi is held in March. Image

To say Vedic women were not educated is a blatant LIE.

Both Panini (>6th c. BCE & Patanjali attest to women studying in Vedic schools (Charanas) proven by specific terms. A female student of Kaṭha school was called Kaṭhī, one of Bahvṛicha school was called Bahvṛichī, etc.

Image
Image
Kātyāyana & Patanjali refer to women studying grammatical system of Āpiśali as Āpiśalā Brāhmanī or a female student studying Panian grammar as Pāninīyā Brāhmanī. Women students studying Mímāmsā works of Kāśakritsni were referred to as Kāśakritsnī.
Image
Image
Vedic schools also had female teachers called āchāryā. Patanjali refers to the lady professor, Audameghyā & her pupils. The highest female ranker of the Kaṭha Śākhā, was termed Kaṭhī-vṛindārikā. A female student was called Adhyetrī & a female novice was called Māṇavikā. Image
