1/n #SadarPranam to Ishvara within you @urvish2020 ji.

Perhaps you have no clue about history of Timurids (Mughals). In this thread I show you a few maps from various period showing the extents.

Prove us, you aren’t WhatsApp uni kid.

1st map showing extent till 1530 Image
2/n This map shows till maximum extent of Akbar. At peak it was around 0.75 million square miles. It was 1/5.5 th of Mauryan peak. Not even 30% of what Hindustan had been seen as by Babur. Image
3/n Till 1635, Timurids hardly could hardly go beyond Vindhyas & towards east. By 1680 Marathas were quite small. But Image
By 1770, Marathas had gone huge & Timurids were limited to Delhi only.

So effectively it was only for effective 2 decades under Aurangzeb thar Timurid extent was beyond 50% of India.

2 decades in millenniums of Indian history, & @urvish2020 wants us to designate a period? 🤦🏾‍♂️ Image
5/n The maps are from "Historical Atlas of the Muslim Peoples', by R. Roolvink (Harvard University Press, 1957, pp. 32-33)". One can access them from below link

1/n Enough!

You should have cared to read what exactly Irfan Habib has produced based on Ain-i-Akbari.
Prof Habib had clearly spoken of subas not aligning mentioned in Italics, hence no Jama from them.
If you exclude them, total area is 0.85 million sq miles. Check explanation. Image
2/n In this case-2, I take out complete Kabul, as in overall "Jama" calculation, Kabul Sarkar too gives "0" Jama.

So technically, it shouldn't be part of Akbar's territory. In the case-2, the effective area of Akbar's territory would be 0.815 million square miles. Image
3/n The case is very well explained in the map given by prof Habib himself, showing the principalities which are not actually under control of Akbar.

That's the reason why many scholars, conclude the territory of Akbar to be 0.75 million sq miles in totality (one eg, 2nd pic) ImageImage

1/n Sir Sayed Ahmed, founder of AMU, was not only main proponent of two-nation theory but was also an absolute British Loyalist.

In this thread I bring in light his booklet " The Causes Of The Indian Revolt" which not only shows his anti-India stand & similar appeal to Muslims.
2/n In the preface itself he clarifies that he is writing this booklet as a loyalist.

He also defines this "1857 issue" as a rebellion against government (he recognizes British as one).
3/n Like any other loyalist, he lives in a belief that the "1857" was a small mutiny with no large planning.

He even undermines the "Chapati Movement" just like how many British officers did by painting it in hue of superstition.

Truth: August 16 & 17 continual massacre of Hindus happened.

Suhrawardy had it all planned & in official records he was seen as key behind riots. He ensured support didn’t come for Hindus.

But then 18th morning rose the warrior, Gopal Mukherjee, who led grand retaliation.
He along with his team of ~ 700 wrestlers went by the target of 10 for 1.

He first ensured to secure all localities with hindu majority. Each Muslim rioter who came was killed. By 19th each localities were secured.

His team spotted each Jihadi who had killed Hindus from 16-17.
Messages were circulated to Hindus. By 21st a lots of Hindus had joined Gopal & then began the actual retaliation.

The toll of Muslims having killed rose like anything. The game had gone against expectation of Muslim League by August 22.

I gave you two content out of many which are

Subhas called Gandhi an old obsolete furniture & also thought that Gandhism can take free India into ditch.

Do you want more content?

He says, “He (Gandhi) has failed because the strength of a leader depends not on the largeness
—but on the character—of one’s following. With a much smaller following, other leaders have been able to liberate their country…He has failed, because…he has not understood the character of his opponents. The logic of the Mahatma is not the logic which appeals to John Bull.
He has failed, because his policy of putting all his cards on the table will not do…in a political fight, the art of diplomacy cannot be dispensed with…

I found a few abuses thrown at Biharis by a few language fanatics (eg @GargaC ). I can only pity there ignorance.

Bihar is the land which contributed abundant to the growth of Bharat intellectually, by wealth & also by art.
Rishi Kapila, the founder of Samkhya Philosophy & Yoga comes from Mithila, Bihar.

The first Upanishads traditions began in Bihar. One must be aware of Yajñavalkya, considered to be first Upanishad Scholars. The ideas of Vedanta began here.
One of the greatest Mathematician Aryabhatta was from the soil of Bharat.

Who can forget that the biggest set of universities Nalanda, Vikramshila etc thrived here in Bihar.

1/n #SadarPranam to Ishvara within you @GautamGambhir ji!

Nizamuddin Auliya was as much jihadi and kafir hater as any Islamist Ulema.

Here is a thread. I’m ready to apologise should you prove me wrong,

By singing praise to him you have chosen a path followed by dhimmis.
2/n “In his khutba, Nizamuddin Auliya condemned the infidels as wicked, saying:

‘He (Allah) has created Paradise and Hell for believers and the infidels (respectively) in order to repay the wicked for what they have done.’”
3/n “Auliya’s thought on Jihad against non-Muslims can be gleaned from his statement that Surah Fatihah, first chapter of the Quran, did not contain two of the ten cardinal articles of Islam, which were ‘warring with the unbelievers and observing the divine statutes...’
