How Indians Are Funding Pakistan's War Machine!

A few days ago, while the India-Pakistan fighting was ongoing, I spoke to a well-educated relative who was vacationing in Turkey.

I casually asked him,
“Why Turkey? You know they’ve always taken an anti-India stance.”

He got offended and asked,
“What’s wrong with going to Turkey as a tourist?”

He even started attacking me personally, calling me "EXTREME."

This conversation stayed with me. How can we be so naive?

And no, this is not a made-up story!

1/9

Did you know that Turkey is Pakistan’s 2nd largest arms supplier?

On May 8–9, India faced an unprecedented drone attack:

Over 300–400 drones crossed the border from Pakistan. Some even targeted army bases. Our civilians died in the attack!

According to our armed forces, these were Songar drones, supplied by Turkey.

Let that sink in.

The Turkey-Pakistan Military Nexus

In just the last decade:

1. Pakistan signed a $1.5B deal with Turkish state firm ASFAT for 4 MILGEM-class stealth warships.

2. In the same year, Pakistan ordered 30 T129 ATAK helicopters from Turkey — another $1.5B deal.

3. A few years ago, Turkish firms helped modernize Pakistan's F-16 fighter jets.

4. Recently, Turkey supplied Bayraktar TB2 drones and Kemankes cruise missiles to Pakistan.

5. It was also reported that a Turkish navy ship docked in Karachi during the last week, when the clashes were ongoing

All of the above points to one simple fact: Turkey is arming our enemy, systematically and openly.

Adi Shankaracharya: The Sage Who Rescued Sanatana Dharma

Why does Hinduism still thrive after millennia? I’m sure most of us have asked this question not just once, but several times, considering all the onslaught we as a nation have faced over the last 1000 years.

Yes, we’ve had several heroes who fought for Dharma. But there is one name that stands out, an extraordinary sage, Adi Shankaracharya.

Born in Kalady, Kerala, this boy genius restructured monastic orders, revived the Advaita Vedanta philosophy, and unified the essence of Hindu worship. And he did all this before the age of 32.

Today is Sankaracharya Jayanti Day, a special day that is forgotten by most Sanatanis around us.

Here are a few interesting facts about the life of Sankaracharya.

1/9

From Kalady, Kerala to the Himalayas

At the age of two, he could fluently speak and write Sanskrit. At the age of four, he could recite all the Vedas, and at the age of twelve, he took sanyas and left his home.

By 16, he had completed commentaries on the Brahma Sutras, Gita, and Upanishads.

His life was nothing short of remarkable, traveling across Bharat, engaging in philosophical debates, and reviving Sanatana Dharma.

Timeless wisdom in a brief human life.

2/9

Vedanta in One Line

"Brahma Satyam, Jagan Mithya, Jeevo Brahmaiva Na Para."

Meaning: Brahman is the only reality, the world is an illusion, the individual soul is none other than Brahman.

Shankara condensed the vast ocean of Hindu scriptures into this thunderous Vedantic truth.

The $1 Million Mistake: How Nehru Gave Away Gwadar to Pakistan (and China)

If India and Pakistan go to war today, there’s one location that could have tilted the balance in India's favor. But tragically, it isn’t under Indian control.

We are talking about Gwadar. India could have been in control of Gwadar. Instead, we let it go for $1 million.

Here’s how Nehru lost us one of the most strategic ports in the region and perhaps in the world.

1/15

Imagine a full-scale Indo-Pak conflict in the near future.

Naval blockades.
Oil supply choke points.
A race to secure trade routes and coastal access.

Now imagine if India had control of a deep-sea port just outside the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil flows. We almost did.

2/15

That port is Gwadar. Located on the southwestern coast of Pakistan’s Balochistan province, Gwadar sits at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, opposite Oman, near Iran, and just a few hundred kilometers from India’s western coastline.

Maligning Dharma: The Hidden Agenda Behind the Isha Foundation Allegations

We all know how the left lobby works overtime to malign the Hindu way of life. In Tamil Nadu especially, this happens with a vigor rarely seen in other Indian states. Not very long ago, the current Deputy Chief Minister spoke about eradicating Sanatana Dharma, equating Hinduism with diseases like dengue and malaria.

Just three weeks ago, senior DMK leader A. Raja urged party cadres to remove Hindu symbols such as the tilak, pottu, and holy ash while wearing DMK dhotis, stating that this would help differentiate them from “Sanghis.”

1/15

It’s not just the DMK—liberals across the country target Dharma whenever they get an opportunity. Hindu gurus and organizations working to revive Sanatana Dharma among the masses are frequently targeted by this lobby.

For quite some time now, the Isha Foundation has been at the receiving end of relentless propaganda and targeted attacks.

2/15

Yesterday, India Today published a news article about POCSO cases being registered against four Isha staff members.

The report states that a woman has alleged that her child was sexually assaulted at the Isha Yoga Center. In connection with this, an FIR has been registered against four staff members of the center.

Shocking, isn’t it? After all, we’re talking about a child—and we should be shocked, shouldn’t we?

Barnaun Raghubar bimal jasu, jo daayak phal chari

I clean the mirror of my mind with the dust of my Guru’s feet and sing Ram’s pure glory, which gives the four blessings of life.

2. बुद्धिहीन तनु जानिके, सुमिरौं पवन-कुमार। बल बुद्धि विद्या देहु मोहिं, हरहु कलेस विकार॥

Buddhi heen tanu janike, sumirau Pavan Kumar
Bal buddhi vidya dehu mohi, harahu kalesh vikaar

Buddhi heen tanu janike, sumirau Pavan Kumar Bal buddhi vidya dehu mohi, harahu kalesh vikaar

I, lacking wisdom, remember Hanuman. Please grant me strength and knowledge, and remove suffering.

Jai Hanuman gyan gun saagar Jai Kapis tihu lok ujagar

Hail Hanuman, ocean of wisdom and virtue! Your glory lights up all three worlds.

Mahabeer Bikram Bajrangi
Kumati nivar sumati ke sangi

Kanan kundal kunchit kesaa

Golden-complexioned, handsomely dressed, wearing earrings and curly hair.

Story of Pazhassi Raja: The Lion of Kerala who defied Tipu Sultan and the British Empire

You've likely heard of Chhatrapati Shivaji's bravery, the Cholas' greatness, and the mighty Guptas and Mauryas.

But have you heard of Pazhassi Raja? If you've visited southern Kerala, you've probably noticed the region's remarkably well-preserved ancient temples, which seem to have withstood the test of time.

While much of India was ravaged by invaders, how did Travancore, in southern Kerala, manage to safeguard its heritage and preserve Dharma?

Although northern Kerala briefly came under Tipu Sultan's rule, his dream of conquering and looting wealthy Travancore remained just that, a dream!

Here's the fascinating story of Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja, who stood between the invaders and Dharma, something that our textbooks never told us.

1/16

Born on January 3, 1753, Pazhassi Raja is celebrated for his fierce resistance against both Mysore's rulers, including Tipu Sultan, and the British East India Company.

This fearless king from Kerala led one of the earliest and fiercest resistances against British colonialism in India.

His war wasn’t sparked by ideology; it was about dignity, sovereignty, and protecting his people from unjust foreign control.

2/16

Pazhassi Raja, also known as Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja belonged to the Kottayam Royal Family (present-day Wayanad, not Central Kerala).

His kingdom lay in the forested hills of Malabar, rich in spices, gold, and timber, making it a hotbed for colonial interest.

His rule combined traditional authority with tactical brilliance, especially in managing local alliances.
