Did you know?

"Valentine's day" is named after Saint Valentine .

He was a Christian bishop and a physician. He refused to treat his own fatally sick mother because she would not give up her belief in pagan God Jupiter and get baptized.

The disease kiIIed her! #ValentinesDay
According to the Catholic Chronicle Legenda Aurea (compiled in c. 1275 CE), Saint Valentine was described as "destroyer of non Christian pagan idols"
Valentine was abusing Non-Christian Gods & creating communal conflict.

He was jailed. Romans promised to release him if he toned down.

"What is your opinion on (our) Gods Jupiter & Mercury"- they asked. '

"Wretched and foul men. Filthy. Carnal. Of filthy birth'-He answered

A thread on WAQF: History of India's biggest land scam🧵
The word "WAQF" is NOT FOUND in Quran. (NOT found even in Indian constitution). There is a reference only in much later Hadiths.

The milords who ban Diwali crackers on premise of their alleged absence in Hindu scriptures must be asked: Will they ban WAQF on the same premise??
Earliest archaeological reference to WAQF is only in the 10th century. No recorded proof of WAQF before that.

However, this WAQF was totally different from WAQF boards that exist today.

To appreciate the difference, let us understand what WAQF meant then and what it means now

A Bengali Hindu widow named Hotee established a School in Varanasi for ALL women. She taught Poetry, Law, Mathematics and Ayurveda. She was awarded the title "Vidyalankar" by Kashi Pandits.

This was BEFORE Savitribai Phule was even born.

First Indian female teacher who?
India has had a very rich tradition of female teachers right from the Vedic age.

Why is this entire history and tradition intentionally buried to glorify a British Missionary Savitribai Phule as the first female teacher of India?

Harkunwar Sethani was an orthodox Jain lady. She built Maganlal Karamchand School for girls in Ahmedabad. The construction was started in 1847 (completed 1850) which was one year BEFORE Savitribai Phule's "school".

Why are hundreds of women like them ignored to hail Savitribai?

Gorakhnath temple has a recorded history of at least 800 years.

The temple existed even before Nawab Asaf-Ud-Daulah was born in 18th century.

How could the Nawab grant land for construction of a temple that existed for hundreds of years before his own birth?

Fake news!
Gorakhnath temple is much older than the Nawab. It was believed to be established by Gorakhnath himself.

Whatever the case, the temple was already destroyed by Khilji in 13th century,meaning it already existed by then

From "Gorakhnath and the Kanphata Yogis" by George W Briggs Image
Far from being built on the land donated by Nawab Asaf-Ud-Daulah, the Gorakhpur Imambada itself was built on a former temple site.

Following Cunnigham's Archaeological survey of India, Sita Ram Goel lists the Imambada among former temple sites in his book "Hindu temples" Image

Vivekananda-"The Aryans must have come to India from way to the North"

He believed Hinduism came to India from outside.

I've been told that anyone who disagrees with Swami is anti Hindu and anti Bengali racist. But the same people get all worked up on hearing the word "Aryan" Image
Vivekananda-"Originally the immigrating Aryan race had only three castes.

Native aborigines called Shudras were not a caste at all. 'These aborigine Shudras were civilized by foreign Aryans" Image
Vivekananda-"Bengalis and Irish are only good at talking and bandying words. They make grandiloquent speeches. They are nowhere when real, practiccal job is required.

They are only barking at each and fighting amongst themselves Image

1) In 2016,a Mosque was partly demolished for road widening and it revealed a structure underneath. People shared it widely across social media as a temple buried under mosque.
@AltNews came up with an article rubbishing these claims as fake.Let me verify

altnews.in/temple-discove… ImageImageImage
2) In this thread, I shall verfiy Altnews’ claims. AltNews claims to have contacted District Magistrate and quoted his words ad verbatim. Assuming this to be true, I shall conduct with a historical examination
3)Magistrate says these are Muslim carvings and constructions.Mosques have such carvings and it cannot be a non muslim structure on the basis of one pillar.

Is it really so?

The Magistrate is factually incorrect on many accounts. It is NOT one pillar but there are eight pillars Image
