How Indira Gandhi's greed looted Rajput Royals during the emergency days 🧵

History is a great teacher to those who want to learn!!
Today Rajaputs of certain parts are raising the crescendo of dethroning Modi Ji by portraying him as anti-Rajput prime minister, so let's see how Congress treated Rajaputs during emergency!!

1. The Love story of Royal Lineage
Indira Devi of Baroda was considered one of the most beautiful women of her time. Born to Sayaji Rao Gaekwad III and his second wife Maharani Chimnabai in 1892, Indira Devi was a prize catch for any of India’s eligible royal bachelors.
Her parents agreed to an alliance with the State of Gwalior – one of India’s premiere royal households – with a 21-gun-salute, the ultimate act of acknowledgement from the British Empire. In 1911, however, when the 18-year-old Indira Devi was attending the Delhi Durbar, she fell head-over-Ferragamo-heels for Prince Jitendra of Cooch Behar. The younger brother of the Maharaja of Cooch Behar, Jitendra was a far cry from the Maharaja of Gwalior, Madho Rao Scindia.
Taking matters into her own hands, Indira then committed the gravest breech of royal protocol when she wrote a letter to Madho Rao Scinida, professing her love for Jitendra and requesting the Maharaja to dissolve their engagement.
Perturbed by their daughter’s brazen flaunting of rules and etiquette, the Maharaja of Baroda tried everything he could, even calling the Prince for a scolding, but to no avail. The couple were ultimately allowed to marry in London, without any member of their family in attendance.
This, only after the Maharaja of Baroda had received a letter from Madho Rao Scindia stating that he understood the situation and would not hold it against the Baroda family.
Once married, Indira Devi and Jitendra moved to Cooch Behar where, within a few months of the wedding, the Maharaja of Cooch Behar passed away, making Jitendra the ruler of the State and elevating Indira Devi to the position of Maharani.
The couple famously sired Gayatri Devi, who would go on to marry the Maharaja of Jaipur, and later become a force in her own right.

2. The marriage
In 1940 marriage of Maharani Gayatri Devi (Then Princess of Cooch Bihar Ayesha) was solemnized with Maharaja of Jaipur Sawai Man Singh II. Thus, begun the chapter of history which would be unique and full of intrigue.

Nehru and his dystopian Legacy 🧵

Though volumes have been written to expose Nehru's socialist narcist way of thinking but still there are lesser-known truths which we shall explore to know that how much harm a dynasty did to Bharat and Sanatan Dharma!!
Nehru prospered a toxic political (dynastic and undemocratic), economic (socialistic), industrial (inefficient and burdensome public and state sector), agricultural (neglected and starved), geographic (most borders insecure), administrative (incompetent and corrupt babudom), historical
(Marxist and Leftist distortion), educational (elitist, and no universal literacy), and cultural (no pride in Indian heritage) legacy.

1. The transition

During the transition of governmental rule in Bharat just before the independence, interim govt was formed on 2nd Sept 1946. Nehru was made to sign a document admitting allegiance to the King of England and he did!!

2. The Third Person

Every communication sent from Nehru to the king of England till 26th January 1949 was supposed to be written in using his name as a "Third Person" pronoun as though officially the Union of India, Bharat was an independent dominion in the British Commonwealth of Nations existing between 15 August 1947 and 26 January 1950.

How Leftist Historians betrayed the legacy of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar 🧵
🪔
Though Congress portrays Veer Savarkar as the one who betrayed the freedom struggle and did seek clemency from the British Government, we will see the real history of Veer Savarkar's mercy petitions and how a nation betrayed one of its biggest freedom struggle Icons!!
🪔
Here i am trying to present a rational and evidence based argument that Veer Savarkar was true nationalist who sacrificed his life and everything for Sanatan and Bharat.

1. Veer Savarkar was born on May 28, 1883 in Bhagur, a city in Maharashtra’s Nashik.
In his teenage, Savarkar formed a youth organization. Known as Mitra Mela, this organization was put into place to bring in national and revolutionary ideas.

2. The Mitra Mela was later renamed Abhinav Bharat Society (Young India Society) in 1904. The society grew to include several hundred revolutionaries and political activists with branches in various parts of India, extending to London after Savarkar went to study law. ⁣

In 1930, MK Gandhi was getting ₹100 per month from the British for personal expenses.
At that time, the market price of 10 grams of gold was ₹18!!
The market value of ₹100 of that time is currently around ₹2.88 lakhs today!!
But why were they paying Gandhi?
To help the British crush the real freedom fighters?
It must be remembered that at that time the non-cooperation movement had reached its peak.
Gandhi was aligned with the British. Surely, Bharat did not become independent because of Gandhi and charkhas!!

1. It was the same Gandhi who enforced a minimalist life style of Satyagraha and celibacy on all his followers!!

2. Doctor Pranjivandas Jagjivandas Mehta

He coined the title "Mahatma" in a private letter written to Gopal Krishna Gokhale in the year 1909.
Gokhale waspolitical mentor of Gandhi and on his insistence Gandhi came back from Africa to India.

Is it Ayurveda vs Big Pharma or is it Baba Ramdev vs Big Pharma? The great debate of Life and Death? Part 2🧵

Let's turn back the pages of history to see how British colonialists used its Physicians to spread their trade and colonial occupation in Bharat for a 250-year sordid reign of loot and plunder worth 45 trillion Pounds with countless rapes and murders!!
Today's West is made on the ashes of yesterday's East!!

1. Cultural Copernicanism
We live in an age of cultural Copernicanism (Kochhar
1999). In cosmology the Copernican principle states that the universe has no preferred location or direction. In a similar fashion, cultural Copernicanism asserts that no cultural, geographical or ethnic area can be deemed to be a benchmark to be used to evaluate and judge others. It is in the framework of cultural Copernicanism that concerted efforts are being made in the world of medicine to identify traditional knowledge systems and accord them
the recognition hitherto restricted to the 'mainstream'.
That mainstream today is defined by the orthodox
practices prevalent in western medicine, while systems like the Ayurvedic and the Unani (known in Europe as the Arabic system) are considered peripheral.
In the pic - Copernicus’s book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium libri VI (Six Books Concerning the Revolutions of the Heavenly Orbs)

2. The Orta of Oriental World - A Crypto Jew who had conversations with Plants

Europe's introduction to Indian plants and drugs and to tropical diseases came from the work of the Portuguese physician Garcia d'Orta (1501 or 1502-1568) who came to India in 1534 and remained there till his death. Orta's parents were Spanish Jews who migrated to Portugal in 1492, when Jews were expelled from Spain. Forced in 1497 to choose between exile and conversion, the family nominally converted to
Christianity. Orta was fortunate to find a patron in Dom Fernao de Sousa, "of a noble family descended from a natural son of King Alfonso III by a very beautiful Moor, daughter of the Cadi of Faro".
Orta studied at the Spanish universities of Salamanca and Alcala de Vide from 1515 to 1525, qualified as a
physician in 1526 and worked as a village doctor from
1526 to 1532. In 1532, thanks to the help of his patrons, he was appointed a lecturer in natural philosophy at the University of Lisbon. He left the job in 1534 to accompany his young patron and friend, Martin Affonso de Sousa, to Goa.
Orta served as physician to the governors of Goa, as
also to the ruler Burham Nizam Shah whose capital was in Ahmadnagar. He had a house and garden with many medicinal herbs at Goa, and in about 1554 he was granted a long lease of part of the island of Bombay, which he sublet. He knew personally all the plants within his reach from which drugs were derived. For the rest he was indefatigable in his enquiries from native physicians, and in his examination of Yogis from the kingdoms of Delhi, and Of traders and others from all parts- "Deccanis, Guzeratis, Bengalis, Cingalese, Moors, Persians, Arabs and Malays". He was assisted in his work by "his intelligent Konkani servant girl Antonia".
