while writing about #MalabarRebellion101 I came across MP Menon. He was called Malabar’s Abu Talib & Mapaila Menon due to His kindness and helping nature towards the Mapila tenants..
here is a Brief thread on him (sourced from The Hindu Article)
Narayana Menon was a man who displayed bravery in bringing the movement frm upper-class elite to the underprivileged ppl, he ws feared & despised nt only by the British bt also by som of the Ldrs of the freedom struggle, was shunned by thm fr his association with the lower class.
The British labeled Menon a "Confirmed criminal" a HONOR reserved for only few Freedom Fighters and sentenced him to 14 years in prison. He was imprisoned for twelve years as a result of his support for the Mapila Rebellion in Malabar in 1921. #MalabarRebellion101
He was known as Malabar's Abu Talib because of his helpfulness and goodwill for the Mapila tenants. When he was referred to as the Mapaila Menon, Menon overlooked the Sarcasm and Instead, he took satisfaction in it. #MalabarRebellion101
Menon, the founder of the Kudiyan Nivarana Sangham, won a case against Zamorin and thereafter gained a lot of support from the tenants. #MalabarRebellion101
His time spent in jail made him acquaintances with many socialists in the North. Menon, who was widely regarded as a socialist Gandhian, had a large following, including E.M.S. Namboothiripad.The former Kerala Chief Minister wrote a book on Menon, describing him as his guru

आज मीर क़मर-उद-दीन सिद्दीकी की 350वीं जयंती है; इतिहास में निजाम-उल मुल्क आसफ जाह प्रथम के रूप में जाना जाता है, जो राजवंश के संस्थापक थे, जिन्होंने 18 वीं शताब्दी की शुरुआत में हैदराबाद पर सितंबर 1948 में आक्रमण तक अपनी स्थापना के बाद से #हैदराबाद पर शासन किया था।
आसफ जाह प्रथम का जन्म आगरा में, 1671 में, सम्राट औरंगजेब आलमगीर (आरए) के शासनकाल के दौरान हुआ था, और उन्होंने अपने जीवनकाल में कम से कम 7 मुगल सम्राटों की सेवा की।
उनके दोनों दादा उच्च कोटि के मुगल रईस थे, उनके नाना सम्राट शाहजहाँ के वज़ीर थे।
निज़ाम-उल-मुल्क के पिता, गाज़ी-उद-दीन बहादुर फ़िरोज़ जंग मुग़ल सिंहासन के प्रति अथक वफादार थे, और बादशाह औरंगज़ेब (आरए) के पसंदीदा थे, जिन्होंने सम्राट बहादुर शाह प्रथम के अधीन गुजरात के राज्यपाल के रूप में कार्य किया था।

#Delhi Special Cell claimed to have arrested a man who was funding terror outfits like Lashkar via Hawala.
When @htTweets visited the house in Turkman Gate,neighbours had a different story to tell.
A humble kind man of few words,a prominent voice in #AntiCAA protests,religious.
Neighbours said they were shocked at the news of his arrest and said that the man and his family are “extremely kind” people. They said that the family has been living in the house for generations and Yaseen was born here.
Mohammed Islam, 48, who runs a mechanic shop opposite the house said that Yaseen is a religious man and a prominent voice in Meena Bazar where he runs his shop. “He is a simple man. He doesn’t even know how to ride a scooter. I have never heard of him ever visiting Kashmir".

An often overlooked aspect of Hindu nationalism (Hindutva) is its territorial aspirations.

These aspirations can include India eventually annexing contemporary Muslim states (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh) and Buddhist states (Sri Lanka, Myanmar)
Of course, such proponents of Hindu nationalism argue that these countries are ancestral Hindu lands, and India is merely defending its borders by annexing them.

Similar arguments are made by other nationalist movements (eg Russia annexing Ukraine, Israel annexing Palestine)
