1/n Never seen such a foolish take on #ChatrapathiShivaji’s diplomacy.

By his logic then Gandhi Ji should be a great friend to Hitler based on letter written to him.

He had clear vision & he was opposed to the rule of Musalmans which becomes evident from his own writings.
2/n Here are snippets from letter of Shivaji to Jai Singh where he mentions that he is disheartened that swords of Hindus would be against at each other just because one has chosen to side with Muslims.

He talks of how his sword thirsts for blood of Musalmaans.
3/n Why would he specify Musalamaan & Hindu had he was not clear about his views.

He also says that there Turks are like Rakshasas in the guise of being Adharmik men.
4/n #ShivajiMaharaj questions Jai Singh again for giving power to Aurangzeb by taking up to fight against Marathas, as he himself can’t face Shivaji.

He appeals Jai Singh to use his power against enemies of Dharma & abolish Islam at root & as branch.
5/n #ShivajiMaharaj says clearly that Hindus are in danger & we must pick arms against enemies & not on Hindus.

1/n Absolutely. The Vijaynagar Empire came into being as a mission to give Hindu response to invading Muslim Forces.

If I to believe assessment by K. A. Nilakanta Sastri, one of the most celebrated expert in History of South. Vijayanagar Empire=Resistance to Islamic Colonialism
2/n At the end of chapter on Vijayanagar Empire Sastri concludes that the rulers of this house did take up task to preserve Hindu political and social order that was being destroyed by Islam.

From book, "A History of South India
from Prehistoric Times to the Fall of Vijayanagar
3/n Now let me bring forth more facts right from the same book in form of snippets.

Let's look at the story around Harihara & Bukka, the founders of Vijayanagara Empire.

Being a regular follower of @BeerBicepsGuy show, came across a podcast with Prof Mohsin Khan.

Though he seemed honest, abundant points made by him were wrong,given recent researches.

The moment he said Buddha was from Scythian lineage, it became a red flag for me.
Prof said so from this point that Gautam Buddha is called “Sakya Muni.”

Prof Khan’s confusion lies because his readings (as it seemed from podcast) is only relies largely on linguistics & hypotheses propagated by the likes of Michael Witzel & Beckwith.
Michael Witzel & Christopher Beckwith without any evidence based his hypothesis of indicating Shakyas = Central Asian Iranic nomads Scythians (as called by the Greeks), because they are addressed as Sakās by the Achaemenid Persians.

Here are snippets from Beckwith’s book.

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.
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.
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)

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

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.
