🧵 on the freedom fighter,
who also wrote 14 books about Vaishnava sect at Assam on his Jayanti.
Sonaram Chutia, popularly known as "Vaishnav Pandit" lived for 98 years but went down without even a stamp in his name.
Throughout his education, Chutia witnessed insulting comments from upper caste boys
and instances of disrespectful mistreatment from religious establishments towards certain communities.

Casteist Hindus, Missionaries, Jihadis and Unresponsive Govts...

On 30th January 2013, the less appreciated Sonaram reached Lotus feet.
Yes, there was One.
On this day in 1964, he took charge as Prime Minister of Bharath.
In this thread 🧵, we will visit the timeline of the last nationalist PM Congress produced.
In his first broadcast as PM on June 11, 1964,
Adaraneeya Lal Bahadur Shastri said..

The life story of #UshaSundaram is divided into 2...
One as an expert Pilot & another as a compassionate mother for animals.
Will briefly explore both in this thread 🧵.

ಹಿರಿಯ ಸಾಹಿತಿ, ಬಹುಭಾಷಾ ವಿದ್ವಾಂಸ, ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ ಹೋರಾಟಗಾರ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಏಕೀಕರಣ ಚಳುವಳಿಯ ಮುಂಚೂಣಿಯ ನಾಯಕ, ಕಾಸರಗೋಡು ವಿಲೀನೀಕರಣ ಕ್ರಿಯಾಸಮಿತಿಯ ಪ್ರಧಾನ ಸಂಚಾಲಕ..
