What if I tell you that the Fort in the picture was captured using Monitor Lizard....?

That's the story of Tanaji Manusare conquering Sinhagad using his pet Ghorpad, Yashwanti.

The story is written as a Ballad by Venu Gopal Narayan and originally published in @Swarajya

Once upon a benighted age,
Our land lay under a foreign horde.
Hampi had fallen a century before, and,
Even the Rajputs now rarely roared.

A Turkic sultanate ruled the Northern Plains,
Which itched to expand its empire south.
It eyed the Adil Shahis of Bijapur,
Who reigned from

Nasik to The Pennar’s mouth.

Under these trammels lay ancient Bharata,
With her traditions in tatters, and her head bowed.
Infidels in our own homes, ‘kafirs’ to our liege,
Our spirit was broken; we were cowed.

Zakat and Jiziya were our new ways of life,
After hammers had

The 24th Maharaja of Mysore, #Rajarishi #NalwadiKrishnarajaWodeyar shouldn't be confined to just 1 region Mysore, his life and times should be celebrated across Bharath and there's a reason for it.

Can Industrial Revolution, Economic Progress & Sanatana Dharma be linked?

Yes!

it can be and our Maharaja proved it.

That's the reason, we Kannadigas of Mysore region worship the Arasu's even after 75 years of getting independence.

Brief 🧵 on our benevolent Nalvadi Maharaja on his 139th Jayanti.

04:06:1884 - 03:08:1940

Before proceeding further,

we should
remember that, they were under Madras Government & even after being a vassal state, they achieved what British could dream of....

Let us divide Maharaja's contribution into People Welfare, Health Care, Industries and Education.

It was May 1974 and one man asked 17 lakh Railway Staff to stop working and brought India to a halt for twenty days.
“always for the people and never with the establishment”.
This is how one can tell about George Fernandes in a single sentence, and that was his clout.
#Jayanti

Fernandes was already an iconic anti-establishment figure when he organised the strike of Indian Railway workers in 1974, which was possibly one of the reasons Mrs Gandhi declared the Emergency.

Before that, he had made a name for himself as an organiser of strikes that would

bring Bombay to a halt.

George Fernandes is arguably the most important non-Congress and non-Hindutva politician in post-Independence India.

Often described as a rebel, he pursued every cause he took up with passionate devotion, heedless of the many ups & downs in his life.

The Tragedy was HIS DEATH.

He was Executed By Joseph Stalin on 28 October 1937 and his death was acknowledged only after 20 Years.
Along with him there was another victim, Virendranath Chattopadhaya, the younger brother of Sarojini Naidu.

#AbaniMukherjeeJayanti.

In their quest to destroy the land of Sanatana & to appease 1 particular dynasty, Communists of India Forgot their own founder who died fighting for Bharat's Freedom.

This is an inspiring story of Abaninath Mukherjee, an Anushilan Samithi freedom fighter & 1 of the 7 people

who established Communist Party of India.

For a set of freedom fighters, the lure of Marx & Russia proved fatal. They were drawn to Bolshevism by Lenin and met their end at the hands of Joseph Stalin.

#RaniAhilyabaiHolkar

The Queen of Malwa, apart from being a brave queen and proficient ruler, was also an erudite politician. She observed the bigger picture when the Maratha Peshwa couldn’t pin down the agenda of the British.

Ahilya (Born : 31 May 1725), Jamkhed

did not come from a royal lineage, most deem her entry into history a twist of fate.
Her father, Mankoji Rao Shinde, was the Patil (chief) of the village.
Malhar Rao Holkar, spotted an eight-year-old Ahilyabai at the temple service feeding the hungry and poor, he decided to

ask her hand in marriage for his son Khanderao. She was married to Khanderao Holkar in 1733.

Khanderao was killed in the battle of Kumbher in 1754, leaving her a widow at only 29.

When Ahilyabai was about to commit Sati, her father-in-law Malhar Rao refused to let it happen.
