#SadarPranam to Ishvara within you @MichaelACT123. Seems you have no clue of history and method to study history.

For you, I’m pointing “India” through Al-Beruni’s sketch of world map which was drawn around 1100 YBP originally.

This “map reconstruction” is based on Al-Beruni’s… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Here @MichaelACT123 are actual versions of Al-Beruni’s map showing India (Hind)

Here are some other versions of Al Beruni’s world sketches mentioning India.

You should point us to China in the map shared by you, which dates to 1000 ybp so that we can look upon it for largest GDP.

That apart, in 1220 AD (almost 1000 years back) Hasan Nizami spoke of map of India(Hind) & China (Chin) in words:

“The whole of Hind, from Peshawar to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage

On account of Battle of Khanwa, Babur invoked sentiment of Jihad against Kafirs very clearly & even spoke about his god battle as being same one to protect Kaba from demons.

Here is the account taken from Letter-of-victory (Fatḥ-nāma) written by Shaikh Zain (appended in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Babur's army in battle agai...
Infidel standards dominated some 200 towns in the territories of Islām; in them mosques and shrines fell into ruin; from them the wives and children of the Faithful were carried away captive. So greatly had his forces grown that, according to the Hindū calculation by which one… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
“In that array no rent was frayed by timid souls;
Firm was it as the Shāhanshāh’s resolve, strong as the Faith;
Their standards brushed against the sky;
Verily we have granted thee certain victory.”

Obeying the cautions of prudence, we imitated the ghāzīs of Rūm by posting… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

1/n A thread on Kerala, ISIS & Tipu Sultan. Please read, & circulate as much as possible.

There is a reason why Kerala always had a connect with ISIS. Matter has a historic significance which largely is about fulfilment of Tipu’s dream. When I say dream, I mean it in all… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2/n In the above tweet, we have already established that largely Tipu’s policies were highly motivated by works & mission of Shāh Walīullāh Dehlavi (Deoband School of thought follows him too which is followed by Taliban) who was firm advocate for Ibn Taymiyya, and one of the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3/n ISIS has always regarded itself itself as the true successor of these theological doctrines and always accused Al-Qaeda to have
deviated. In fact, unlike Al-Qaeda, ISIS was also able to implement all these doctrines in its territories quite effectively. As an example, they… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

I’m so proud of @HarshitShastry , my colleague who recently joined us as fresh architect.
His B.Arch thesis around Hampi & ended up winning CoA. National Awards for Excellence in Architectural Thesis & JK Best Architecture Student of the Year Award, 2022.
Pl follow him in mass.
Many won’t get what is so exciting for me.

Being a student of architecture, I know how tough it is to put through “Hindu idea centric” B.Arch thesis. I had never imagined that such a thesis would end up winning best architecture thesis award.
I have asked him to post about his thesis in Twitter so that people can understand how he fused the Hindu ideas to develop an architecture thesis.
I must add, that recently I figured out that he is a big fan of @authoramish whose works have been an essential part of his journey.

1/n 🧵 It is a conscious & personal realisation, that the kernel of being nationalist goes back to the architecture of Sanatan Dharm.

Today, when most of the faith system recognise themselves first as follower of their religion, Hindus have way more nuanced idea to offer.
2/n Now one may say that if you set Nation above faith, you in a way submit to the faith systems of west & Middle East.

One may argue that it may lead to decay of idea to uphold the -ism of Hindus.

But as I stated in opening lines, we have much more nuanced case to offer.
3/n Being loyal to motherland & rashtra is primary tenet of the Dharmik values. The expansion of visionary realm Āryāvarta is core & including the of worship motherland.

Even though -ism of Hindus isn’t dependent on dictates, it relies on those wise words in Shastras.

The Khalistanis had defiled the Harimandir by worst possible ways.

When you talk of Khalistanis & their deeds who can be better to refer than their biggest nightmare KPS Gill.

This thread is based on 4th chapter of his book Punjab, the Knights of Falsehood.

RT & read.
In the name of their faith, Khalistanis all possible evils. They murdered innocents. Tortured and raped many. Extortion & desecration of temples was their trend & Gill says the list of other crimes was way above all these.
According to Gill, in words of Khalistanis themselves they did all those crimes to avenge the ‘injustices’ they deemed to have been done to the Sikhs by the Hindus. It was their war to defend their Faith (as they called) against the plotting of the “evil Brahmins.”

Kali maa on the sword of Guru Hargobind Sahib (source on Alt text)

Khalistanis can try hardest but primary sources would only keep crying loud that Sikhi is just one form of Hindu Dharma. Source: https://www.sikhsan...ImageImage
But is this all? In fact idol worship became prohibited only with the coming of Singh Sabha. The Murtis were removed from the Harimandir (what we call golden temple today) only in 1905.

Watch this interesting fresco showing a Sikh guru (possibly Nanak) seated near a Hindu religious event involving idols from Gurdwara Baba Atal, Amritsar.

Some sources say that the original painting was actually made during the Sikh rule. Image
