1 The district has important history far older than Aurangzeb. Naming the district and city Aurangabad took away from the glorious past and gave the impression it's all about the 17th century jihadi. Paithan, one of the oldest inhabited cities on earth, was capital of
2000 yr old Satvahana dynasty that ruled large parts of India.
2 Spiritual leaders : Some of the most important saints linked with Hindu revival are linked with the district. Changdev, Dyaneshwar, Sopandev, Muktabai, Eknath etc have nothing to do with Aurangzeb.
3 Ajanta Ellora caves : One of the greatest architectural marvels on earth, Ajanta & Ellora reside in the district and pre-date Aurangzeb by a millennium. In fact Aurangzeb tried to destroy the temples. It's an insult to our great traditions to carry the name of that vandal.
4 Devgiri was capital of formidable Yadava dynasty that lasted 5 centuries. The place was always important and when Tughlaq moved his capital from Delhi to Devgiri (Daulatabad, 1327 to 1334), he was not creating anything new. Aurangzeb moved his court to the district for same.
5 Grishneshwar Temple : One of the Jyotirlingas as per Shiv Purana, this ancient temple was repeatedly destroyed by Muslims but finally rebuilt by Ahilyabai Holkar. Every trace of terrorists like Aurangzeb must be removed from such sacred land.6
6 The name Sambhajinagar, after Sambhaji Maharaj, who gave his life for Dharma is an apt recovery of OUR cultural space. Maharashtra reveres Sambhaji Maharaj, not Aurangzeb. Words and names are important. Aurangzeb spent 27 yrs in Maharashtra but as a terrorist, not a hero.

4 years ago today, two Sadhus were brutally lynched at Palghar by a mob. As horrific as the visuals of an old Sadhu smiling wistfully to his death were, the reality was even worse.
Read to the end, the last tweet will shock you.

The Sadhus were in police custody. The Maha Vikas Aghadi police handed over the Sadhus to the mob to lynch them. Can you imagine the hate liberals have for Hindus?
But it gets worse. 2/5
Congress Uddhav government was so hell bent on saving the attackers, they deliberately didn't file cases in time, thus making sure the attackers were out on bail.

1 Unite across castes to defeat mlechchas 2/8
2 Accept that conversion is politics. Congress knows it, Christians know it, Muslims know it. It has NOTHING to do with religious freedom, that's the BS they fed us. It is POLITICS 3/8
This was Ram Babu Shukla. A very decent man. Spent all his life teaching, retired as Principal, took tuitions to support his family in Kanpur.
He never shared any stories about Muhammad or Nupur Sharma. Didn't trap any Muslim girls.
In 2016 he was shot dead.

Here is his son, grieving but also absolutely baffled why would anyone kill his harmless middle class retired father who used to ride a bicycle?
His crime? He was Hindu and wore a Teeka.

Muhammad Saifullah, Muhammad Faisal & Atif Muzaffar were normal peace lovers. Like every youth, they wanted to move to Syria to clean toilets of ISIS with their tongues. Serving the Arab master was their dream.
But Arab master was not impressed because they looked like THIS 3/5

The girls came from stable families in Vienna, one of the most beautiful cities on earth, in one of the most advanced countries. They had everything they needed. But they attended a local Mosque and saw Islamist propaganda online and ran away to Syria to join ISIS. 2/6
Islamist brainwashing can be this effective, especially on young women and criminal minded men. This is observed from the fact that most conversions in the west happen in case of women at a young age and for men in prisons. 3/6
Young people don't know what a TOP con artist Lalu family is!
Lalu literally destroyed not just Bihar but also Railways and in the process fooled Harvard bozos too. Harvard sent their students to learn from Lalu because 'he turned around rail as 1/4
#TejashwiYadav
rail minister'. Suddenly railway had cash surplus. Liberal media went mad with admiration. Harvard included him as case study. Their students came to meet him. It was glorious. 2/4
Except it was a fraud too. He was just doing land scam and posting fake nos & destroying railway. Imagine, fake nos in our national budget under greatest ‘economist” MMS! We became global laughing stock! His numbers trickery meant Modi govt had to clean up that mess for years 3/4
