How can anyone who claim to be Indian name their children Taimur or Babur, invaders who killed so many inhabitants of our land.
Why this love for Mughals & over emphasis on their rule when Mughal power was at its peak only from 1526 (invasion by Babur) to 1707 (Aurangzeb killed)
#Taimur incidentally was lame. Taimur-Lang (or Langra).
One of the most brutal tyrants with a long history of massacres where ever he ruled.
1387 to put down a rebellion in #Ishfahan he is reported to have ordered massacre of 70000+ people. Several pyramids of human skulls made.
Pyramids of human skulls were not restricted to #Ishfahan.
1385 the #Sistan revolt was put down & human skulls and in some instances human bodies mixed with brick & clay used to erect a minaret to send out a clear message to those who rose against him.
In 1398 he attacked Delhi
(Taimur's) conquests were characterised by exceptional brutality. #Isfahan surrendered in 1387. Taimur ordered complete massacre of the city killing a reported 70000 citizens. An eye-witness counted more than 28 towers each constructed of about 1500 heads.

As per Malfuzat-i-Timuri, #Taimur targeted #Hindus. In his own words: excepting quarter of the Saiyids, the ulama & other Musalmans, whole city was sacked. In his descriptions of Loni massacre he wrote:next day I gave orders that the Musalman prisoners should be separated & saved
100,000 people were massacred by #Taimur in #Delhi (some accounts put the toll much higher) but the cruel beast did not stop at #Isfahan (Iran) or India. He then sacked #Baghdad (Iraq). By some accounts more than 90,000 people were massacred by #Taimur’s army in Baghdad in 1401. Image

In 2010 #India under Dr Manmohan Singh Govt gave #Pakistan US $ 25 million for flood relief.
* This was 2 years after 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
* Pak had not punished #HafizSaeed let alone State actors in 26/11 terror.
* Was Pak grateful?
* Did Pak stop India centric terror?
No. Pak shamelessly not only took $ 20 million of Indian tax payers money & another $ 5 million through UN, Pak terror continued to bleed India.
* In 2011 Pak terror hit Mumbai with multiple blasts at Zaveri Bazar, Opera House & Dadar.
* Sept 2011 there was a blast outside Del HC
In 2010 despite taking $ 25 million of Indian tax payers funds, Pak Mil Jihad complex continued to kill Indians.
* 11 killed & 50 injured in 2011 Delhi High Court blast blamed on Pak terror.
* 20 killed & over 100 injured in the multiple blasts in Zaveri Bazar Opera House, Mumbai

Fact 1: Ismat Chugtai's Lihaaf. Lesbian characters: Begum Jaan & Rabbo. In Bollywood film changed to Radha & Sita (Random names? Radha & Sita are names of women Hindus worship)

Fact 2: Student of The Year: Radha has a Sexy Body (Random selection?) Why only names Hindus worship..
Fact 3: Film PK: Character playing Lord Shiv (The Destroyer) is shown running scared. Try showing characters playing divinity of any other religion running scared. The producers, directors, actors will be running to save their lives.
The List is long.
Some saying enough is enough
Since the conversation is on Films, permit me to quote Ian Flemming in the 1959 James Bond movie Goldfinger:
Once is happenstance
Twice is Coincidence
The Third Time it is enemy action

*Media ran Kangaroo Courts on fake *Hindu Terror* cases for decades.
*Ecosystem tried to pass off Pak sponsored 26/11 & Samjhauta blast as Hindu terror.
*An army officer spent 9 years in jail without bail.
*No outrage then by those crying themselves hoarse today on *bail no jail*
*LeT mole was called Bihar Ki Beti. Kangaroo Courts tried to white wash Pakistan State sponsored radical Islamist terror & nail those who were combating enemies of the country
*Questions are now being asked on the basis of court documents & not what some *fixers* say or want done
An officer in MHA said he was tortured, singed with lit cigarettes to change his affidavit on #IshratJahan. MHA initial affidavit spoke of inputs from Central intelligence agencies on her #LeT links. Who ordered changing of affidavit to water down inputs? @RudraVS stuck to truth.

RB Sreekumar, former Gujarat top cop, accused of fabricating evidence in #Gujaratriots case is also accused of framing #ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan in a false espionage case.
The year was 1994.
Sreekumar was then working as Dy Dir Subsidiary Intelligence Bureau (SIB) in Kerala
Narayanan was working on the cryogenic engine technology at #ISRO. He was falsely accused of selling top secret documents to foreign handlers including in #Pak. The aim was to arrest The scientist & sabotage India's efforts to make cryogenic engine.
The scientists were *tortured*
The High Court said there was not even a *scintilla of evidence* regarding the scientists being influenced by any foreign power.
Supreme Court in 2018 said the case against Nambi Narayanan was malicious & awarded a compensation of Rs 50 lakh. Narayanan was a successful scientist

#TeestaSetalvad: Gulbarg society residents had filed a complaint against the activist, her husband Javed Anand & her NGOs Sabrang Trust & Citizens For Justice & Peace.
Funds collected for reconstruction of their homes & #GujaratRiots Memorial were diverted for personal expenses.
March 2013 complaint filed. Gujarat police took 10 months to file an FIR. Gujarat Police wanted arrest for custodial interrogation. The powerful ecosystem is alleged to have tried every trick in the trade to avoid joining investigation in such a serious case of funds embezzlement
High Court had said Teesta Setalvad was not cooperating in probe. Funds collected to build *Museum of Resistance*
Gujarat police probe reveals purchase of wine, whisky & Rum were billed under *Secular Education* & legal aid expenses. Husband too claimed sanitary pad reimbursement

#TeestaSetalvad arrested. #RBSreekumar arrested.
After #SupremeCourt upheld the clean chit to then CM now PM @narendramodi action initiated against those who ran a malicious campaign after the Gujarat riots. RB Sreekumar has some answers to give in the ISRO case too. #IndiaFirst
How fake narrative was built & peddled in #GujaratRiots2002.
Naroda Patiya case: fake narrative pimped about womb of pregnant woman being ripped open & fetus taken out.
Post mortem report exposed lies. Fetus in womb. No sword attack. Stellar report by @UdayMahurkar in @IndiaToday
Dr JS Kanoria who conducted the post mortem on Kausar Bano on Mar 2, 2002: the fetus was intact in the womb. The woman had died of burn injuries in riots.
(Did anyone except @UdayMahurkar bring out facts of #GujaratRiots2002. Multiple instances of fake narrative on riots pimped.)
