1. The Frosty Start

Biden and Trump did not greet each other before the start debate!!

2. The Sparring starts

US President Joe Biden says he is the "only president of the 20th century" in whose tenue no US Army soldier has been killed in combat since the day he has been president.

However, it's false.

Emergency 1975 - The story of story self-entitlement and political corruption of Indian National Congress🧵

Yesterday entire opposition led by Smt S@nia G@ndhi and R@hul Gandhi was raising the slogans outside Parliament house:
"SANVIDHAN KI RAKSHA KUAN KAREGA
HAM KARENGE
HAM KARENGE"
Let's revisit the days when Constitution was reduced to an afterthought by Nehruvian dynasts and their cronies!!

1. The Reason

The President has proclaimed Emergency. There is nothing to panic about. - Indira Gandhi

These words were spoken by Indira Gandhi in the crack of the dawn of 26th June 1975, what ensued was a blot on the fabric of Indian democracy. The declaration of emergency came as a surprise to the country, even the cabinet ministers were informed about it one night prior and no one else had expected such move, opposition to this was curbed by brutal forces controlled by Indira Gandhi for a period of 21 months (June 1975-March 1977), in which she ruled with an iron fist.

Reasons for Imposing Emergency (According to Indira Gandhi):
1. She believed that the security of the nation and democracy was in danger due to the movement launched by Jayaprakash Narayan, A hero of the freedom struggle.
2. She was of the opinion that the economic development of the country had stagnated and required a radical change to uplift the underprivileged who were suffering due to the slow pace of development.
3. She was of the firm belief that there could be a threat to India's internal security due to the intervention of foreign powers which would try to destabilize and weaken India.

2. The Reality

The months preceding the emergency was a pitiful period for India’s development, riddled with growing unemployment, rampant inflation, and scarcity of food. The dismal condition of the Indian economy was accompanied by widespread riots and protests in several parts of the country.

Between 1970 and 1975 Inflation reached 28%.

India's gross domestic product(GDP) in 1975 was $98.47 billion, an increase of -1.06% over 1974, and GDP accounted for 1.6473% of the world economy in 1975, India's GDP ranked 13th in the world, 3rd in Asian countries.

FDI in India was almost 1.4 Billion Dollars.

All this was coupled with utter poverty spread across the India with more than 70% of population living in penury.

The terrible drought in East India in the mid-1960s setback India’s development and aggravated poverty. It led to the country’s greater dependence on the western powers for aid. There was massive import of food and also one of the biggest devaluations of the currency in 1966 from Rs 4.76 to Rs 7.5 to a dollar. India faced issues at its borders with wars in 1962 and 1965 and this led to a rapid increase in defence expenditures and massive import of arms which dented the fight against poverty.

The Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP) Act was enacted to check the growth of the monopolies which was a result of crony capitalism indulged in by Indian Big Business.

From the late 1960s, economic regulations were tightened. The MRTP Act of 1969, nationalization of 14 large commercial banks, the same year the Patent Act of 1970, the Industrial Licensing Policy of 1970, and the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) of 1973 are given as famous examples.

The black economy too continued to grow. From an estimate of 4-5% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 1955-56, it grew to 7% by 1970 as per the Wanchoo Committee Report. This led to growing policy failure and also the discrediting of government intervention in the economy since public services suffered. Crony capitalism flourished in this period enabling strong monopolies and oligopolies to flourish in the economy with political protection. This was concluded by the Hazari Committee Report in 1969.

To industrialise more quickly, resources were needed and the highest marginal tax rate reached 97.5% in 1971 when Mrs Gandhi was the finance minister. The attempt was not only to collect resources but also cut luxury consumption. White goods remained in short supply and there was a waiting period to buy them which led to their black marketing; there was a premium on getting a two-wheeler or a telephone. In spite of the high tax rates, resources remained short.

In 1974-75 Several changes were made into the income tax rates. Below mentioned are some highlighted ones:

1. The maximum Income tax rate was lowered to 75% from 97.75%
2. Taxes were reduced at all slabs of income tax. This was done by Y. B. Chavan
3. There was no income tax for individuals who earned up to ₹6,000.
4. The basic rate of income tax was maintained on the income slab at over 70,000 rupees to 70%.
5. The surtax rate was reduced to 10% for all levels.
6. The joint impact of income tax and premium would be 77% of taxable income in the highest slab. Wealth tax was increased.

In nutshell license Raj destroyed India's economy and crony capitalism along with Congress Kleptocracy was at its peak.

Nalanda - Crown Jewel of Bharat's knowledge system 🧵
In this thread we will explore how:
🎭
1. Nalanda was destroyed by Muslim Invader Bakhtiar Khilji
🎭
2. How Marxist historians invented historical lies to blame then Brahmans for the destruction of Nalanda.
🎭
3. How Nalanda was originally a living magnum opus of Bharat's knowledge system
🎭
4. How Nalanda actually functioned as a universal learning seat.
🎭
Let's narrate the fateful story of mystical Nalanda which is a timeless icon of ancient Bharat to burst the myths and lies of leftist historians and unemployed makeup artists camouflaged as historians 🔎

1. Nalanda - The Meaning

Hirananda Sastri says that Nalanda comes from the word ‘Na’ which signifies ironwood tree and the name of the Nalanda might correspond to jungles of ironwood trees. He also proposes that the name might be derived from the word "nala" means lotus-stalks, found abundantly in Naalanda and adjoining regions. (Sastri 1999: 3–4)
Faxian says it, ‘Na-lo’ because it was situated around the Naga tank. He identifies the place for birth and mahāparinibbāna of Sariputta.
Xuanzang informs that etymologically the term ‘Nalanda ’ is derived from ‘Na- alam – da’ signifying abundance and perpetuity of gifts. He says that this sacred complex is known as Nalanda because the Buddha as a bodhisattva was king with his capital at Nalanda. The king was honoured with the title ‘Nalanda’ i.e., benevolent and kind. Because of his kindness, this place became popular as Nalanda. He also informs that Nalanda was developed on a Ᾱmravana purchased and donated by 500 merchants to Buddhist saṅgha for ten kotis of gold coins. However, such kind of appellation emerged when the monastic system became fully developed and Nalanda became a favorite seat of learning. Xuanzang’s information was based on the Mahasudassana Jataka which says that the Buddha was born as a bodhisattva and a benevolent king of Nalanda. The Jataka informs that the Buddha told Ᾱnanda about parinibbana of his two chief disciples Sāriputta and Mahamoggalana at Nalanda. It also informs that Sariputta was born at Nala-grama and took parinibbāna on a full moon day in the month of Kartika at village Nala.
Dey says that Bargaon may be a corrupt form of Viharagrama and may be identified as Nalanda.
T. Bloch emphasizes that Nalanda can be identified with the word Bargav, not the village Bargaon. The name has ̄ been its appellation because of the sacred vata (Ficus religiosa) tree still standing inside the monastic settlement and its worshipping is prevalent in the vicinity of Nalanda . It is difficult to perceive that the name is named after the vata tree. The Vata-Savitri worshipping was started very late in the early medieval period but Nalanda has antiquity since the age of Mahavira and the Buddha or even before.
From sources provided by the Chinese travellers, the two important arguments could be advanced in support of the name Nalanda. Faxian’s reference of ‘Na-lo’ suggests that Nalanda might have been named after the word ‘Nala’ or ‘Nali’. In early India, the word ‘Nali’ is used as a unit of measurement for agrarian land. In Magadha and Bengal region, agricultural fields were measured by Nala or Nali. In hill regions, this unit of measurement is still prevalent and land is measured in terms of Nala/Nali. References to it have been found in many inscriptions of the Sena dynasty (Mazumdar 1960: 101). The term ‘Nala’ (Nalaka) may indicate it like a stalk of local variety of long grass/wild sugarcane known as kasa (Saccharum spontaneum) and its long stalk is known as nalaka. The plant has considerable rhizomes and it is capable of reaching a height up to 8 metres.
I-Ching says that the name was derived from a serpent king, Naga Nanda1. It is difficult to say that Nalanda was named after the serpent king Nanda but the association of the land of Magadha with the serpent cult is very old. The śramaṇnic religions wasted no time understanding the popularity of the serpent cult and both Jainism and Buddhism accommodated it into their fold. The Jains associated this cult to the tirthankara Parsvanatha and the symbol of serpent became his cognizant. During his wandering, when the Buddha visited the Kassapas, they offered him a place in his hut full of nāgas. The Jatilas were fire worshipers and possessed a fire dragon. Kassapa, seeing the Buddha in his ascetic grandeur, asked him to stay overnight in the room where the sacred fire is kept and nāga used to live. On the Buddha’s consent, Kassapa offered him the room where the sacred fire was kept. The dragon resided in the room confronted with the Buddha but could not harm him. The nāga died in fury and in the next morning the Buddha showed the dead body of nāga to the Kassapas and informed them that his venomous fire has been subjugated by his sacred power. Just after the nibbana when the Buddha was still in contemplative disposition and rain started, he was saved by the nāga Muchalinda who winded his coils seven times circling the body of the Buddha and holding his hood over his head.
Buddhism made a serious attempt to associate humans and non-humans with the local pattern of weather trajectories, availability of water resources, and agriculture. The naga is a folk deity that was holding the mysteries of nature, especially the rain, which was the most important component for the survival of agriculture. In Buddhism serpent deity, an epitome of folk power and God of rain often represented sculpturally in human form with expanded cobra hoods leaping from the vertebral position of the neck. Naga Nanda may be propitiated here to protect agriculture and rain. Later on, the place itself became identified on his name and known as Nālandā.
Since the 4th–5th century, a new type of monastic organization called Mahavihara was developed under the patronage of the Gupta kings. It may be the single monastic organization as the Mahaviharas founded by the Pala rulers or the conglomeration of the monasteries headed by a supreme monastic patriarch. The traditional vihāra structure was developed in a cloistered pursuit to get expertise in Tipitakas for the growth of religion but on the scholastic tradition of Mahavihara, the canonical teachings were highly liberalized and widened in scope and character. The first such structure was developed at Nalanda i.e., Nalanda Mahavihara.

2. Budhist Monks vs Brahmana Conflict - A historical distortion invented Marxist Historians

Chinese Traveller Fa-Hien wrote in his chronicles that Lord Budha had two disciples known as his right hand and left hand.
Sariputtra (Right hand) is known as found of Abhidharma. He was a brahmin by birth and later on he was converted to Buddhist monkhood when he joined Lord Budha's monastic entourage to seek knowledge from him. Later budhist followers condier him as founder of Abhidharma.
The Abhidharma are a collection of Buddhist texts dating from the 3rd century BCE onwards, which contain detailed scholastic presentations of doctrinal material appearing in the canonical Buddhist scriptures and commentaries. It also refers to the scholastic method itself, as well as the field of knowledge that this method is said to study.

Mugalan of Sinhalese origin (Left Hand) was another famous student and attendant of Lord Budha. He was of Tamil origin from Sri Lanka.

Kashyapa Budha who is known as founder of Chinese Buddhist literature was also a brahman from Magadha kingdom who joined Lord Budha's monastic entourage by getting converted to Buddhism. He was the chief upholder of Buddhist philosophy and its spread after the demise of Lord Budha.

And this shows us that how Brahmans laid foundations to the Buddhism in ancient India.
Infact there were hundreds and thousands of Buddhism monks who were born as brahman and later on got themselves converted to Buddhist monkhood to study Abhidharma (Budhist canonical scriptures of knowledge which was deduced from Vedas and Vedangs with a new version of metaphysics paraphrased by Lord Budha).

EVM and Circus of Indian National Congress and I.N.D.I. Alliance - A lame attempt to misguide common people 🧵
🎭
Is it not startling that Man who is projected by Congress as its Prime ministerial candidate to lead India, is indulging in whataboutery to rake in populism based on misleading and fraudulent claims regarding Electronic Voting Machine and 2024 Lok Sabha election process!!
🎭
Let's revisit technical whataboutery of Indian National Congress about EVM in this thread right from Syed Shuja to Shirish Vaktania!!
You might be wondering who are Syed Shuza and Shirish Vaktania?
Let's go through the next parts of this thread!!

1. Q1. Who started EVM in India?

Answer: Indian National Congress

The Electronic Voting Machine was proposed in 1977 and Electronics Corporation of India (ECIL) was tasked with the development of the same.
Indira Gandhi was at the helms of power in 1977.
In 1979, a working model had evolved and was showcased to various political parties on 6 August 1980. Bharat Electronics (BEL) and ECIL were tasked with manufacturing EVMs. The EVMs were first trialed in 1982 in the by-election to Paravur assembly constituency in Kerala in a limited number of polling stations. In a ruling on a case filed against the usage of EVMs in the by-election, the Supreme Court of India ruled that the sections 59–61 of the Representation of People Act 1951 specified paper ballots and it, therefore, forbade the use of any other technology including electronic voting. The court stated that the use of an alternate technology would require the Indian parliament to amend the law.

Post the court ruling, as there was no existing law permitting the usage of EVMs, it could not be deployed immediately. In 1989, the Representation of the People Act, 1951 was amended by the Parliament of India to permit the usage of electronic voting. But the deployment was further delayed as general consensus could not be reached with the political parties and other stakeholders on the usage of EVMs.
Congress won highest number of seats in 1989 though it could not form the government due to the revolt of V.P. Singh.
In 1998, the machines were used on an experimental basis across 25 state assembly constituencies during the assembly elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi.
In May 2001, EVMs were used in all constituencies for the state assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry and West Bengal.
In 2004, in the General Election, the EVMs were used in all 543 Parliamentary Constituencies for the first time. Since the time, all state assembly and parliamentary elections are held using the EVMs
Congress won 2004 elections!!
After a ruling by the Supreme Court, the Election Commission appointed an expert technical committee in 2011 to study the feasibility of a Voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) in EVMs to counter the charges of tampering. The committee was tasked to examine the possibility of showing a printed paper to a voter with the symbol of the party to which the vote was cast.
On the recommendation of the committee, a VVPAT system was developed and was put on field trials. In July 2011, field trials of the system were conducted at Ladakh, Thiruvananthapuram, Cherrapunjee, East Delhi and Jaisalmer to test the performance under various weather conditions.
Congress was ruling the country in 2011.

2. How does EVM works?

If you want to understand how EVM works, please refer to the below link. It has all the details of EVM functioning.
()

The EVM was designed by a team led by A.G. Rao and Ravi Poovaiah, professors at IIT Bombay. An EVM consists of two units, a control unit, and the ballot unit which are joined by a cable. The ballot unit consists of labeled buttons which facilitates voting by a voter with the control unit responsible for the operational control of the ballot units, storing of vote counts and display of results on LED displays. The control unit is pre-programmed at the time of manufacturing and cannot be altered later.

The machines are powered by a six volt alkaline battery which enables the use of EVMs without a secondary power source. The designers intentionally opted for battery power, to prevent the possibility of power cables interfering with the functioning and to enable the EVMs to function where a secondary power source is not available. The two units work in tandem and cannot work independently. The EVMs do not have any communication components or internet interface. The ballot unit has an internal clock and a pre-programmed protocol by which it records every input-output event with a timestamp provided it is powered.old.eci.gov.in/files/file/899…

Lajja Gauri - Devi Swarupa of creation and Fertility demonized by Western Indologists as "Shameless Woman" 🧵
🔎
Did you ever pay attention to the plagiarism of Vedic scriptures, symbols, icons by Western Indologists?
🎭
They could translate almost everything they could lay their hands on, but they could not create the context.
So, they demonized or distorted some of the most iconic symbols and deities of Vedic era.
🎭
Devi Lajja Gauri's renaming as "Shameless Woman" is one such classic example of Western appropriation of Hinduism.
🔎
Lets explore the mystic world of Devi Lajja Gauri.

1. The Maa Devi of creation - Aditi as Lajja Gauri

Devi, the Great Mother Goddess of creation of ancient Vedic times, in Her form as Lajja Gauri, is also known as Aditi, AdyaShakti, Renuka wife of sage Jamadagni, who is worshipped for fertility as Matangi and Yallamma(everybody's mother), Kotari, Kotavi (a nude folk goddess), KottaMahika, Kotmai, and many other names.She is the most ancient Goddess form in the religious complex that is today referred to as Sanatan Dharma.

Rig Veda, I.89.10 says that:
अदितिरद्यौर आदितिरन्तरिक्षहं आदितिर्मता स पिता स पुत्र .
विश्वे देव आदितिः पञ्च जन आदितिर्जतं आदितिर्जनित्वम् .
Meaning:
Aditi is the sky - Aditi is the air - Aditi is all the gods - Aditi is the Mother, the Father, and Son - Aditi is whatever shall be born.

2. Aditi Uttanapada - The Devi maa of fertility and
creation and most ancient form of Lajja Gauri

The most elemental and symbolically potent Lajja Gauri representation is the birth giving (uttanapad) pot goddess. This imagery is characterized by human legs in uttanapad pose with a shape above the legs that resembles both a pot and a female’s lower torso. The figure has no upper torso and there are no breasts, arms, or head. The pot torso resembles a brimming vase, or purna kumbha.

Rig Veda, X.72.3-4 says this about Devi Aditi:

देवअं युगे प्रथमे.असतह सदाजयायत
अदास अन्वजयन्ता तदुत्तनपदस परि

भउर्जजना उत्थानपदो भुव असा अजाय
न्तादितेर्दक्षोअजायता दक्षद् वदितिः परि

Meaning:
In the first age of the gods, existence was born from nonexistence. The quarters of the sky were born from Her who crouched with legs spread. The Earth was born from Her who crouched with legs spread, and from the Earth the quarters of the sky were born.
