#PrithivRajChauhan as our forefathers as rulers of Mahaban, took part in his first battle against Gauri - I must share the stories told to us by our Jagas. 1. Gurjar Prthivi was king of Ajmer and Anagpal Tomar of Delhi. 2. Armies of almost 104 kings of North India gathered to
fight Gauri . 3 As Anagpal was old could not lead in battle and had no son. Dispute over who will lead battle against Gauri erupted. 4 Jaichand laid strongest claim and had support of almost all powerful kings of North India. But dispute still could not be resolved.
5 As armies of Gauri were near, matter was left to Anang Pal to decide. 6 Anang Pal nominated Gurjar King Parthivi Raj as holder of Kachtra in battle because he was son of his daughter and two he was king of a small faraway state of Ajmer and had no local influence. 6.
6 Armies of 104 kings of Jats, Gurjars and other kings fought against Gauri -- Rajputs did not exist then as caste. 7. Gauri was defeated. In this battle army of Jaichand also fought against Gauri. 8. After winning battle Parthivi dethroned Anang Pal Tomar by treachery and
captured Delhi. 9 It annoyed almost all powerful Kings of North India. On top Prithivi kidnapped daughter of Jaichand. It then became issue of honor bringing permanent division among warriors. 10 Second time when Gauri attacked, Prithvi did not get support of other kings and
had to fight with limited support from some kings of Rajasthan. Our Forefather did not take part in second battle. Naturally he lost. 11. Other kings not supporting Prithvi proved to be a military blunder. 12 After defeating Prithvi, Gauri attacked next powerful king Kulchand.
Kulchand ruler of Mahaban and our forefather. Surprisingly local Brahmins supported Gauri and attacked Kulchand. Kulchand besieged in Fort lost after a protracted battle. For the services of Brahmins, Gauri rewarded this fort to them.
Even today Brahmins control fort and operate temple of 84 pillars. They write title of Chaudhary. 13. After sacking Mahaban Gauri attacked Kannauj & sacked Jaichand. The most surprising aspect of this war is support of Brahmins to Gauri against kings whom they called Mlechas

If you read history, you find in many battles Indian defenders mobilized much larger army against invading force & yet they lost in home ground? Why? Let me explain 1. Indian defenders were always like crowd - soldiers on contract #TourofDuty of Modi 2. Gave unorganized battles
Halla Bol was favorite battle strategy of Indians. Just gather crowd with arms and just stand wait. Could never develop idea of organized battles. like Peshwa moving his Muslim arty as vanguard against Abdali defying every mil tactics.
3. Centralized command in King and if kind died-U Army dispersed. 4. Using animals as shield. War elephants are excellent offensive weapons but were always used as defensive shield. Result they could never prove fatal rather turned back and routed ur own army. 5..Caste system.

Do you know? What is main reason of stopping recruitment in army? It was due to #FarmersProtest . Surprised? Yes. Reports of many young soldiers and youths aspiring to join army from farming communities supporting #FarmersProtest made certain lobbies nervous. recruitment stopped
#TourofDuty is brain child of such nervous lobbies to dismantle such regimental pride of army.. This scheme plans to take away your pride, your self respect, your history and your political stakes. It will hit Mahar, Maratha, Rajputs, Gurjars, Ahirs, Sikh, Jat pride badly.....
Idea is to dismantle these social group based regiments with all India Class and that too hiring soldiers on contract so that they don't develop any pride. I am all for development of idea of India. I support inclusiveness and doctrine of equal opportunities but ..

#TourOfDuty I once again warn.. Just to provide low cost military trained manpower for corporate security don't screw up whole system.. Cost of pension can be reduced anyway.. There are betterways of doing things. Let me explain what are the main objective of this scheme, why
Is this being forced by PMO on Military and what are its pitfalls.. Certain lobbies controlling political power in this country do not like backward villagers and soldiers shouting 'Sada Hak Aithe Rakh' so whole idea is to steam them out by making them corporate dependent..
Some people also feel it will help them more in so called strategy of Coup Fencing of Army.. In addition it provides cheap trained manpower for corporate security and cuts cost.. But if compared with such man power joining CAPF.. Then cost is still more..

Is war in Ukraine war for India too? Our honorable foreign minister raised this issue recently in an interview.. Well in Hybrid war scanario trade wars are also part of war efforts... Considering that we must see is war in Ukraine having any military or trade impact on India?
Honourable Foriegn Minister @DrSJaishankar ji let us see impact of war in Ukraine on India 1. Oil prices are today at 120, screwing Indian trade balance 2. Certain critical mil hardware supply from Ukraine is effected specially engines for navy ships 3
3 It has pushed to India to possibilities of West putting sanctions on India which India can not bear. So naturally if this war has put India in tight spot thn its India's war too. In my views its time to negotiate avoid too bold and dangerous statements. Like defending China

Please note.. 1. Indian growth history is closely linked with western order 2. Nehru isolated India with western economic order just to promote himself as global socialist leader.. Result in first 50 years of Indep our growth rate was horrific.. 3. It is only when India
3. It is only when India opened to western economic order India made rapid progress.. 4. We are now a highly integrated shadow economy of western order.. We like it or not.. That the truth.. 5. Don't forget China also made rapid growth with western support..
The biggest reason of China making rapid growth is western support... West gave more preference to China over India.. Naturally China grew faster... 6. Indian foriegn trade gives you net deficit.. Its only contribution of NRIs and OCIs which makes it profitable.. 7.

@DrSJaishankar do not commit same mistake which Nehru did. Nehru ignored India in lust of promoting himself as global leader. Though he stood as leader from third world but Indians lost. Modi has done the same mistake and your are now supporting it.
Modi has promoted himself globally as a Brand for his own political gains. He has ignored India and Indians. How? By offering good defense deals ....In Global market you are being treated as a client with deep pockets naturally they will fool you by pumping your ego.
#Trumph made fool out of Modi. India has deep pockets of foreign reserves because Indians working abroad has contributed immensely and mind you they have done it without any Govt support. In actual trade India is in deficit .. Mr Honorable Foreign Minister you cant take pungga?
