Nathuram Godse's statement that, "...the 7 conditions that Gandhi had set for breaking the fast started in January 1948 were all anti-Hindu..." We were never told exactly what these terms were when we were taught history in school.
In January 1948 Image
Gandhi was trying for Hindu-Muslim unity through fasting etc. there are superficial references everywhere. So why should Godse say in his speech that all those terms were anti-Hindu?
January 19, 1948 issue of 'The Yorkshire Post' mentions
these 7 conditions. What were the conditions?

Condition 1 - Muslims should be allowed to celebrate their Urus at Mehrauli near Delhi. (There was a mosque of Khwaja Qutbuddin in Mehrauli. It was destroyed in the riots. The Hindus and Sikhs drove out
the Muslims around it. This Khwaja Qutbuddin was supposed to take place on January 26, 1948. But there was a possibility of obstacles in doing so. Gandhi did not want this.)

Condition 2 - Muslims who fled from Delhi should be allowed to return safely.
Condition 3 - Those 118 mosques in Delhi which have been converted into temples should be given back to the Muslims.

Condition 4 - Entire Delhi should be made safe for Muslims.

Condition 5 - Safety of Muslims traveling by rail should be guaranteed.
Condition 6 - Financial boycott imposed by Hindus and Sikhs on Muslims should be withdrawn.

Condition 7 - The remaining parts of Muslim settlements in Delhi should not be used by Hindu or Sikh refugees from Pakistan.

My first thought was, why is protecting Muslims, anti-Hindu?

But then in 1948, why not the same thing for Hindus?Moplah Riots,Direct Action Day,Noakhali etc. saw Hindu Genocide.Violence was happening on both sides.
Didn’t the other sides have the right to protect itself?

⚔️ Dharma vs Ambition: Where One Stands

This thread will shake you. It holds a mirror to our politics, parenting, careers, and choices.
If you think betrayal is just history or just in politics, think again.
Are you living by Dharma, or disguising desire as duty?
Let’s begin 🧵👇Image
A Mirror for the Modern Man
We often read history like a book on a shelf. But what if it’s not a book, what if it’s a mirror? What if the betrayal within the Maratha Peshwa family that led to the fall of the greatest Hindu empire is no different than a CEO selling out his workers for a merger today? What if the illusion that “I’m right, and I deserve power” repeats like an echo in every office, every parliament, and even every home?
This is the story of our times. It begins in the past but leads straight to our present. It asks one simple question:
“Are we living by Dharma, or by desire?”Image
1. Ambition Without Dharma: From Peshwa Betrayal to Today’s Politicians
As the Maratha Empire stood at its peak, internal ambition began to poison its core. Members within the Peshwa family, hungry for individual power, began to ally with British officers and regional rivals. They convinced themselves it was necessary, that they were more capable leaders, and that the empire needed a shift.
But what followed was not glory, but the slow colonization of Bharat. The betrayal opened the gates for the British, who used these internal cracks to gain control over the entire subcontinent.
Today, the same drama plays out. We see leaders undermining dharmic figures, those who serve silently, work without craving credit, by painting them as outdated or ineffective. Power-hungry individuals whisper to foreign lobbies, adopt enemy narratives, or use media to assassinate character, not for the country, but for the chair.
Then and now, the mistake is the same: confusing ambition for service. Without svasthāna parijñāna, awareness of one’s true place, Adharma enters.Image

⚠️ They’re Sneaking GM Animal Feed Into Bharat Using “Self-Certification” — A Backdoor Entry for GM Produce

On July 9, India did not sign the GM clause in the US trade pact.
But the pressure hasn’t stopped.
Warnings. Lobbying. Self-certification tricks.
Here’s how your food, farmers, and exports are at risk 🧵Image
1.🇺🇸 The US wants India to import:

• GM soybean meal
• GM DDGS (Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles)
• GM alfalfa hay

These are animal feeds made from genetically modified corn/soy/alfalfa.
Cheap. Subsidised. Highly risky.Image

2.🇮🇳 On 14 July, the Coalition for GM-Free India (@GMWatchIndia) issued a formal warning to Commerce Minister Shri Piyush Goyal
✉️ Subject: India should not accept GM feed imports or “self-certification” from the US

The man who shared rotis with Sam Manekshaw… and retired at 108 after helping India win two wars
🐪🇮🇳Image
1.

“Paagi–Paagi!” the doctors asked one day, “Sir, who is this Paagi?”

And Sam Bahadur himself smiled and told them the story…

This is not just a tale. It’s a legend of loyalty, bravery and sheer desi genius.
2.
India had won the war. General Manekshaw was in Dhaka.

He ordered, “Call Paagi. I will have dinner with him tonight.”
A helicopter was sent to fetch him.

While boarding, Paagi forgot a small cloth bag. The chopper turned back to get it.

When Modiji thinks, he thinks long-term.

And right now, he’s slowly choking the Dollar, the world’s bully, through UPI.
A digital weapon, not a bullet fired.
This is why the cabal, the 0.5 anti-Bharat crowd, has launched a war on UPI. Their masters ordered them to.

🧵👇🏽Image
1. Domestic Dominance
UPI is now the spine of India’s economy.
• 650 million transactions per day in July 2025
• ₹80,131 crore transacted per day in June 2025
• ₹24 lakh crore in a month
Once mocked by Chidambaram. Now, it runs Bharat. (2/12)
2. Crushing the US Dollar
UPI handles:
• 51x more transactions than the US
• 3x more in value
India is still the world’s 4th largest economy, but No. 1 in digital payments.
Modi’s decade-long strategy is now global muscle. (3/12)

1. They Lost Everything. And They Chose Dignity over Victimhood.
Their homes were gone. Their temples desecrated. Their language mocked.
Yet Sindhi Hindus didn’t riot, didn’t demand.
No time for victimhood. No space for reservation politics.
Only one instinct, “We’ll rebuild. Right now.”
And they did.Image
2. One Night… Everything Was Lost
A warm summer evening in Sindh, 1947. Families gathered, laughter echoed. Children played in courtyards.
No one knew it was their last sunset in their homeland.
By morning, everything would change—forever.
3. The Knock That Split Their Lives
She heard a knock at the door. “Run,” a Muslim neighbour whispered, “I can’t protect you after today.”
Panic. A grab for jewellery, a few clothes, no time for tears.
Some left barefoot. Others in nightwear. Sindh was no longer theirs.

Mother Cauvery has overflowed, after 94 years. Let that sink in. When we revive our rivers, we don’t just bring back water, we bring back life, fertility, culture, memory. This is the story of a river reborn. This is the story of Cauvery Calling.

It began with one man. In 1998, Sadhguru noticed Tamil Nadu’s land drying up. Forest cover had collapsed. Rivers shrank. He travelled across the region and saw firsthand the death of soil. The idea was seeded—restore the river by restoring tree cover. Image
3
In 2017, Sadhguru launched Rally for Rivers. He rode 3,500 km across 16 states. Politicians, celebrities, citizens joined. The campaign got 162 million missed calls. A national river policy document was submitted to the PMO and NITI Aayog. A movement was born. Image
