Exemplary act by Sri @AmitShah vis a vis the Dharma-Danda or Sengol (Tamil). The Dharma Danda is as old as Sanatana Dharma itself. Merely its design, form, shape, etc., varied from time to time, empire to empire.
The Dharma-Danda has a literal, symbolic, practical and ethical value. As its wielder, the king embodied Dharma in the combined realms of sovereignty, protection, military, and jurisprudence. Hindu texts dealing with the coronation ritual are both delightful & ennobling to read.
At the time of coronation, the Purohita would tap the king's head thrice with the Dharma-Danda proclaiming, "Raja Dharmiko Bhooyaat" -- May the King become an upholder of Dharma. Only after this would the king sit on the throne.
An extraordinary scene in the Kannada film, "Sri Krishnadevaraya" brings this out very powerfully. Mahamantri Timmarasu gives three tight slaps to Krishnadevaraya on the eve of his coronation. Watch it to understand the profound pulse of our statecraft.

Anyhow, hope the #SengolAtNewParliament heralds a new direction where Indian democracy might at last be imbued with Dharma. </END>

What this guy doesn't know is the brutality that accompanied Indira Gandhi's Chikmagalur campaign.
A thread 🧵 Image
Devaraj Urs was the CM back then. He had put the entire state machinery at Indira's disposal, in a way.
Massive contingents of Congress "workers" descended on Chikmagalur from all parts of Karnataka. Hardcore rowdies & goondas were enlisted & fed copious amounts of liquor and food. The Inspection bungalow, a government property was their boarding and lodging.

Shall we talk about Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's heroism? A thread follows. Source will be given at the end. All the words are quoted verbatim from the source. Enjoy! 😀😀
Maulana was a divine only in so far as his vast knowledge of Muslim religious lore was
concerned. For the rest, he was a man of the world who loved the good things of life.
In 1945, some people reported to Gandhiji that the Maulana was drinking regularly in jail.

Almost 8 years into @narendramodi's regime, the seeds of definitive changes that he had sown in 2014 are invisibly but surely bearing fruit across a variety of spheres. All spheres are united by one profound strand: civilisational self-confidence.
The infinite pity is that this point is missed by our antiquated commentariat because their knowledge of their own civilisation is synonymous with ignorance.
Their record is stuck at discarded & spurious "views" derived from a mix of cultural self-shame and the disease of seeking Western validation.

Basharat Peer, scriptwriter of the anti-Hindu movie, "Haider," is married to Ananya Vajpeyi, daughter of Kailash Vajpeyi, who served on the Sahitya Akademi Council for 5 years.
Basharat Peer's Wiki page calls him a Pakistani American journalist. He ran the short-lived India Ink blog, an arm of NYT. An important piece it ran was on the Modi visa denial: india.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/05/u-s…
His wife was also similarly busy, co-authoring a biography of Ashis Nandy, the same guy who "diagnosed" Modi as a case of clinical fascism.

At the height of Kashmir tension after Article 370, the New Yorker did a hit job against Narendra Modi. Entirely expected. But guess who fed the US journo? Rana Ayyub who actually managed to travel to Kashmir and "report" from there.

Totally sinister.
newyorker.com/magazine/2019/…
Here are some excerpts from that piece.
1. On the phone, she invited me to meet her in Mumbai and try to get into Kashmir.
2. When I arrived, she handed me a pair of scarves & told me to buy a kurta “I am ninety-nine per cent sure you will be caught, but you should come anyway."
3. Ayyub and I landed at the Srinagar airport two weeks after Modi’s decree. In the terminal was a desk labelled “Registration for Foreigners,” which she hustled me past. "Hustled me past." How? What is her source of network that enables something so brazen?
