“A Hindu who is a kafir, worshipper of stone & monkey, drinks cow’s urine & eats cow dung in name of religion is a barbarian in every sense of the word”
These words by Kasem Razvi formed the ideological DNA of Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen, predecessor of Owaisi’s AIMIM today. ImageImage
2
In 1926, the Nizam’s minions created the Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen to unite Muslims & ethnically cleanse Hindus to a minority. MIM created a paramilitary force of volunteers - “Razakars” to brutally terrorize Hindus & ensure Hyderabad became an independent Islamic nation. ImageImage
3
In Nizam’s Hyderabad, Hindus couldn't even practice their own language, religion or culture. Out of 16 Million, 86% Hindus were administered by 12% Muslims. 95% of police force was Muslim. Hindus needed special permission for religious processions/festivals or to build temples. ImageImage
4
In 1946, Kasim Razvi lawyer & graduate from Aligarh Muslim Univ. was elected to lead the MIM & Razakars. To him it was a holy mission to liberate Muslims of Deccan from India by first annexing the east coast of Madras & marching to Delhi to put the Islamic flag on the Red Fort. ImageImage
5
Razakars declared they were the army of Islam carrying out holy Jihad. Their 1st pledge was “In the name of Allah, I promise to the last to maintain the supremacy of Muslim power in the Deccan”. With sword in one hand & Quran in other, Razvi was to lead them to conquer Delhi. ImageImage
6
"Muslims are not content with 1 Pakistan in Deccan. We will knit India & the world into Pakistan as our forebears did 1300 yrs ago. We ruled Hindus for 900 years. If I wished I could have exterminated you." roared Razvi, reminding how Muslims were grandsons of Ghaznavi & Babar Image
7
The Nizam provided latest weapons & military training from Pakistan & abroad for war as 1000s of Arabs & Pathans joined the Razakars. They would pack their bags & guns to go "Hindu-hunting". Anyone speaking Telugu, Marathi or Hindi was targeted by the "soldiers of Allah". ImageImageImage
8
Razakars would loot, burn, torture, murder & rape Hindus on a massive scale by surrounding villages, shooting all men, snatching women’s jewelry, raping & burning down homes. Blood stained bundles of gold earrings, snatched Mangalsutras, & nose-rings became common daily loot. ImageImageImage
9
From 1947 to 1948, 100s of villages were destroyed, & Lakhs of Hindus massacred, tortured & raped by Razakars. Entire districts were burnt to ashes, while the Nizam’s Islamic police covered up evidence of genocide. To this day, the number of slaughtered Hindus remains unknown. ImageImage
10
On Aug, 28, 1948, Razakars targeted the village of Veera Bairanpalli, forcing Hindu women to play Bathukamma naked, mercilessly raping them, lining up multiple men to maximize kills with each bullet & looting several temples, massacring over 100 Hindu victims in that village. ImageImageImageImage
11
Earlier in March 1948 , Razvi had delivered a blood curdling speech declaring Hyderabad an Islamic state & threatening that 4.5 crores Muslims in India would join the Razakars to become the 5th Column against Indian Union. He was ensuring the Exodus of Hindus to other states. ImageImage
12
Razvi openly threatened that any Hindus who remained would be used as hostages “If the Indian Union enters Hyderabad, the ‘invaders’ will see the burning everywhere of bodies of 1 crore & 65 lakh Hindus. We Muslims will not spare others”. 40,000 had already fled from Telangana ImageImageImage
13
What made Razvi so bold?
Nehru's weak indecisiveness. Plus he had support from divided Hindus - Harijans & Lingayats. He threatened India with anarchy as 4.5 crore Muslims would not be content with Pakistan, but rewrite the map of India as descendants of Ghazni & Babar. ImageImageImage
14
But by May 1948, the Lingayats bitterly regretted their support for Razvi when the Ittehad Harijans & Razakars devastated Gorta & 129 villages in Bidar district of Karnataka, raping, burning, looting & massacring thousands of Lingayats. In outrage, they left Razvi’s coalition. ImageImageImage
15
Meanwhile, 7.5 Lakh Muslims flooded into Hyderabad to increase Muslim numbers while 5 Lakh Hindus ran away in terror. Razvi’s plans for ethnic cleansing of Hindus were coming true. The delusional Razakars began attacking other states & Indian Army soldiers traveling on trains ImageImageImage
16
The Nizam’s Razakars had become belligerent due to the increase in their ranks as Muslims from Punjab, Arabs, Rohillas & Pathans poured into Hyderabad. Many went to Marathwada to take over Hindu areas. Nanded became a target of repression, leading to another Hindu exodus. ImageImage
17
Communists who once fought Razakars now joined them to oppose a united India. The Nizam removed the ban on them & they began massacring Telugu villages with Razakars. Bengal Communists supplied bombs. The Red menace which would burn Telangana for decades had become entrenched. ImageImage
18
With the situation spiraling out of control, Sardar Patel & the army convinced Nehru to act. On September 13, 1948, Indian troops liberated Hyderabad in Army Operation Polo. Within days the so-called brave descendants of Ghazni & Babar surrendered. Pakistan reeled with shock. ImageImage
19
Despite overwhelming proof of Razvi leading the genocide of Lakhs of Hindus, he was tried in Hyderabad & convicted of only 7 yrs for dacoity. The High court quashed his life sentence on appeal & he was released in September 1957 to “migrate” to Pakistan, where he lived freely. ImageImage
20
Despite the evidence, Many of the convicted Razakars were also released. On his release, Razvi went to Hyderabad where he handed over charge to Maulvi Abdul Wahid Owaisi (Owaisi’s grandfather), a lawyer & Islamic “scholar” from Jamia Nizamia as President of the revived MIM. ImageImageImage
21
On Oct. 6, 1957 Maulvi Owaisi made his 1st speech about how the Prophet of Islam was opposed by Kafirs in Mecca when unfurling his flag & his long struggle. Echoing Razvi’s ideas, he told Muslims to bide their time, become strong to get demands accepted & finally capture Delhi ImageImageImage
22
In March 1958, Maulvi Owaisi landed in jail for inciting Muslims to rise against Hindus. His grandsons still carry on the legacy today as Akbaruddin threatens to kill 100 crore Hindus if police is removed for 15 minutes, while Asaduddin threatens Allah will destroy UP Police. ImageImageImage
23
Owaisis & AIMIM still proudly perpetuate the MIM ideology with headquarters at the same Dar-u-Salam where Razvi & Razakars planned massacres of Lakhs of Hindus. The brutal legacy of the savage Razakars & genocide perpetrated on Hyderabad State's Hindus must never be forgotten. ImageImage
24
The Razakar dream of converting Bharat into Pakistan still thrives among Islamic extremists salivating to make India a Dar-Ul-Islam. Hyderabad's liberation is a critical lesson for Hindus to realize how lack of unity & weakness leads to disaster & threatens Bharat's existence.

Holi is famous as the Hindu festival of joyous revelry with colors, but beneath all that revelry lie ancient Vedic astronomical rituals deeply tied to the motion of the Sun and cosmic renewal.

In this thread I will attempt to explain how the various aspects of the festival of Holi are rooted in very ancient astronomical concepts like the Sun’s oscillation, the Vedic New Year ceremony, and the cyclical nature of time.

Today, we consider January 1st as the start of the New Year, but there was a time in ancient Vedic tradition, when the year once began in Phalguna (Holi’s month). Texts like Tilak’s Orion reference Vedic calendar systems where Phalguna marked both the end and beginning of the year, leading into the vernal equinox. This was a clear astronomical transition, where the Sun shifted northward, bringing longer days and renewed energy. So the festival of Holi, was not just a celebration of spring but a marker of time itself, rooted in the solar cycles of renewal.Image
Image
Image
Even today in Braj, Bengal and Odisha, Holi is celebrated as Dol-Yatra/Poornima, the Swing Festival, where Krishna is ceremonially rocked back and forth on a swing (hindola). This Vaishnavite festival represents the sun as a form of Vishnu. The celestial swinging motion is not arbitrary though, it symbolizes the pendulum like oscillation of the Sun as it moves across the sky between the two solstices of Dakshinayana (Sun’s southern journey, leading to winter, shorter days, and darkness) and Uttarayana (Sun’s northern journey, leading to summer, longer warmer days, and vitality)

Just as a pendulum pauses before reversing direction, the Sun reaches a turning point where it pauses before moving into its brighter phase. Holi marks that final swing before the Sun fully ascends into its strongest months. The Sun’s journey is cyclic, and Dol-Yatra preserves this cosmic motion in ritual form.

So, amazingly the Dol Utsav symbolizes a profound astronomical observation which marks the occasion where the sun is "rocking" into a new phase of the year in his journey across the sky - symbolized by Krishna in his Hindola!Image
Image
Image
Fascinatingly, even the central Holi ritual Holika Dahan, where an effigy of Holika is burned in a bonfire is not just from the legend about Prahlada and Bhagwan Narasimha saving him from his demoness aunt Holika - it is also a remnant of the Vedic Yagnas or fire sacrifices that marked the burning of the past year. The ancient Vedic New Year’s first yagna was called Agrahayana (which literally means the first month of the year in Sanskrit) and performed to burn away the impurities of the previous cycle to reset time itself. Agni is a cosmic purifier, ensuring that disease, disorder, and misfortune were consumed before the Sun entered its new phase. In several texts Holika herself is referred to as the sister of Samvat (year) who is cremated to usher in the new year. The word Holika itself likely comes from the combination of “Homa” (burnt offering in Yagna) and “Loka” (mankind), where it refers to humans gaining prosperity and good fortune from the performance of the Yagna itself.

Therefore, beginning the festival with the fire of Holika is not just a ceremonial destruction of all the bad things from the previous year, it is a cosmic reset, a purification of time itself in anticipation of a fresh start for the new year.Image

Hey @asadowaisi why are you resorting to quoting Richard M. Eaton - when Aurangzeb’s own official Islamic biography Maāsir-I-Ālamgiri itself lists him proudly destroying 300+ Hindu temples in Mewar in just one year alone (1680)! In his hateful quest to forcibly convert India into Dar-al-Islam, nothing was sacred. He desecrated innumerable Hindu gods, destroyed 500+ temples including Hinduism's holiest shrines, and built ugly mosques on top of them. Being a famous lawyer you should at least have looked up documented Islamic sources and respected Indian translators like Jadunath Sarkar who reference Aurangzeb’s destruction in great detail first.

As for the rest of your nonsensical lies about Pushyamitra Śunga and Raja Śaśanka destroying Buddhist sites - I will give you a history lesson on each one of these claims in next couple of days and debunk all your lies on them with meticulous references too. Hope you will read them just like this thread and apologize for falsifying history.

If you have the guts then go through this entire thread detailing all of Aurangzeb’s evil & horrific destruction of 500+ Hindu temples - entirely based on Islamic sources. After that If you have any shame left, apologize or else I challenge you to disprove a single incidence.

Aurangzeb hated Hindus so much that he destroyed Mandirs even BEFORE becoming king! At the young age of 27, Aurangzeb destroyed the beautiful Chintaman temple, then forcibly converted it into a mosque & slaughtered a cow there. He then destroyed the temple of Khande Rai in Satara & proudly declared that he had gotten many temples in Gujarat demolished.Image

Aurangzeb was practically salivating to destroy the sacred Somnath Mandir, which he did early in his reign & when Hindus tried to rebuild it, the vitriolic monster ordered it to be completely annihilated. In 1661, he ordered all Hindu temples in Cooch Bihar to be destroyed & mosques built on top of them. His general Mir Jumla himself broke Bhagwan Narayan's image with an axe.Image

Madanamahotsava: Bharat’s Ancient Festival of Love and Spring
Centuries before St. Valentine or even Christ, Hindus celebrated love - not for a single day, but for nine joyous days of devotion, romance, and revelry in spring’s embrace. This grand festival called Madanamahotsava, also known as Vasantotsava, honored Kamadeva (Madana), the god of love, alongside his consort Rati and Vasanta, the spirit of spring. Referenced in Vatsyayana’s Kamasutra (400 BCE) and called Suvasantaka, it was a grand celebration of music, dance, playful festivity, and sacred rites dedicated to the spirit of love, beginning on Vasanta Panchami and culminating in the Vasantanavratras.

Let's explore the history of Bharat's festival of love 🧵Image
Image
One of the earliest mentions of Madanmahotsava is found in Vatsyayana's Kamasutra (400 BCE). Clad in resplendent attire, men and women gathered in temples and royal courts at the advent of spring, seeking the blessings of divine couples for love and prosperity. Hemadri’s Vratakhanda (13th c.) recounts in detail the legendary tale of Kamadeva awakening Shiva from deep meditation to tempt him into union with Gauri. Furious at his Tapasya being disturbed, Shiva reduced him to ashes with a single fiery glance. Kamadeva's distraught wife, Rati begged and pleaded with Lord Shiva for his revival. Moved by Rati’s unwavering devotion and Gauri's persuasion, Shiva, in his boundless compassion, granted that Kamadeva would once again regain his physical form every year on the 13th day of the bright half of the spring month. Thus, the annual festival of Madanamahotsava was born - enshrining the triumph of love and renewal.Image
Image
Image
Rituals described by Hemadri included intricate kolam paintings, worship of the Ashoka tree, and offerings of sandalwood, incense, and flowers to Kamadeva, Shiva, Vasanta, and Vighnesvara. The king and his court led grand ceremonies, distributing sweets, delicacies, and paan as dakshina. Couples exchanged fine garments, jewelry, and floral gifts, culminating in the Rasa-mahotsava, a divine dance in honor of Krishna and Radha.Image

Indeed, Aurangzeb was not just any ordinary evil king - he epitomized the demonic savagery of Islamic fanaticism powered by hatred against infidel Hindu Kafirs. Aurangzeb was obsessed with such virulent hatred against Hindus that his official biography Maāsir-I-Ālamgiri itself lists him proudly destroying 300+ Hindu temples in Mewar in just one year alone (1680)! In his hateful quest to forcibly convert India into Dar-al-Islam, nothing was sacred. He desecrated innumerable Hindu gods, destroyed 1000s of temples including Hinduism's holiest shrines, and built ugly mosques on top of them. If you have the guts then read this entire thread detailing all his evil - entirely based on Islamic sources, and then do some soul searching for calling such a barbaric monster "Great".

The insidious agenda and lack of academic integrity of Ruchika Sharma, PhD in history from JNU & self-proclaimed academic expert, stands thoroughly exposed when we analyze her peer-reviewed paper (bit.ly/4h1tcSv) in the Journal of Archaeological Studies in India. Let's deconstruct her paper claim by fallacious claim and scrutinize it against factual evidence. I have created a summary table for easy reference. Please read entire thread for full details.🧵

False Assertion 1: Ruchika's primary claim in her paper is that Malwa Sultan Mahmud Khalji built a grand Islamic general hospital (Dar-us-Shifa) at Mandu, MP in 1443 CE which she identifies with an existing monument called “Gada Shah’s Shop” in Mandu. (Img 2)

Reality: Shockingly, Ruchika deliberately leaves out contradictory evidence from her OWN cited source (Ghulam, Yazdani (1929), Mandu: The City of Joy) which states that the structure Ruchika tries to misappropriate as an Islamic hospital was actually the royal Durbar/audience hall of Hindu Rajput King Medini Rai. (Img 3: Yazdani, p. 28, 79) Gada Shah is none other than Medini Rai. Medini Rai’s Durbar Hall was later called Gada Shah’s Shop by the Muslims. Rajput Medini Rai overthrew Mahmud Khalji’s son Mahmud 2 and ruled Mandu as a vassal of Rana Sangha from 1519 - 1528 CE. Ruchika’s source Yazdani also points out that both Gada Shah’s Shop (which she claims is Khalji’s hospital) and Gada Shah’s House (Palace) were built AFTER Khalji’s death by Medini Rai in the same architectural style. Two huge mural paintings of Medini Rai and his queen are still to be seen in Gada Shah’s House. The world-famous German art historian Dr. Hermann Goetz, an expert on Indo-Persian architecture, also clearly identified Gada Shah’s Shop and Gada Shah’s Palace as Rajput Medini Rai’s Durbar/Audience hall and palace residence in Mandu. (Img 4: Goetz)

Thread Continues....🧵Image

False Assertion 2: Ruchika’s entire identification of Medini Rai’s Durbar (Gada Shah’s Shop) with Khalji’s Islamic hospital is based on her personal architectural observations that the building is divided into two chambers which she assumes represent separate male and female patient chambers. She also cites that the “existence of small rooms but also big halls” matches Khalji’s Islamic hospital. (Img 5)

Reality: Ruchika’s own Islamic sources don’t even specify whether the hospital was located in Mandu. Her unsupported conjectural claim again completely ignores her own source Yazdani who points out that Medini Rai’s Durbar (now known as Gada Shah’s Shop) was built for the purpose of serving as a grand audience hall (durbar). In fact her source Yazdani even specifies that it was a Durbar-i-aam built for granting audience to the public while the nearby Hindōl Mahal served the purpose of a Durbar-i-Khas (Audience hall for select assemblies). (Img 7) This explains exactly why the architecture has such grand arches and separate small rooms because they were often built as showpieces of royal prestige. The usage of such grand arches makes no sense for the purpose of a building built as a hospital. Like Yazdani, Dr. Goetz also clearly states that Gada Shah’s Shop (Medini Rai’s Durbar) has “massive sloping buttresses because of the lateral pressure of the huge arches supporting the roof of the Audience Room”. (Img 8) Even the ASI website clearly labels the structure as an audience hall. Yet Ruchika ignores all this insurmountable proof, and makes the bizarre claim that this was Khalji’s Islamic hospital without a shred of objective evidence.

Thread Continues....🧵Image
Image

3/7
False Assertion # 3: Ruchika’s Islamic source mentions a Hammam (Bath house) adjoining Khalji’s hospital. But since no such structure exists near Medini Rai’s durbar (Gada Shah’s Shop) - Ruchika claims that “scattered remains of a tank exist … which could have been the bath houses (hammam) that Shihab Hakim (1968, p. 64) points to.” She also claims the building is far away from the palace area but in close proximity to Khalji’s other buildings like the Madrasa and the Jama Masjid. (Img 9)

Reality: We can refer directly to Google Maps which clearly demonstrate that the only water tanks/reservoirs near Medini Rai’s durbar (Gada Shah’s Shop) are the Ujala baodi, the Prachin Hindu Baodi and Kapur tank. These were all obviously built as reservoirs for the Durbar halls and palaces and show no evidence of being used as Hammams. (Img 10) Google Maps also busts Ruchika’s false claim that her so-called “hospital” is located near Khalji’s Masjid & Madrasa. As can be clearly seen on the map, Medini Rai’s durbar (Gada Shah’s Shop) is a good distance away from the cluster of Khalji’s buildings which are further South. (Img 11) Clearly there is no evidence of any Hammam near Medini Rai’s durbar, but there are Hindus Baodis (wells) and Water tanks (Kapur tank). Thus Ruchika’s desperate attempt to retrofit her utterly flawed claim by misrepresenting geographical facts falls flat on its face.

Talk about a nasty bag full of distortions and outright lies. That Shree Rama existed centuries before Buddha was even born is attested directly by authentic Buddhist sources themselves. I will methodically dissect and disprove every deceptive claim by fact checking it against authoritative and authentic sources. Please read all parts of the entire thread to the end including the screenshots which provide crucial evidence. 🧵

Claim # 1:
Ram is a mythological character, whereas Buddha was a real historical figure—there’s simply no comparison.

Fact: False. This claim is disproven by the oldest & most authoritative Buddhist biography of Buddha’s life itself - Aśvaghoṣa’s (2nd c.) Buddhacharita. The Buddhacharita documents that Buddha belonged to the same Suryavanshi Ikshvaku dynasty as Rama; it pays homage to Valmiki as the Adikavi and mentions Janaka too. After he renounces his family, Buddha’s father sends a wise advisor to the forest to try & convince him to return back home. The advisor tries to persuade him to return by mentioning Rama as an example - as someone from older times, who returned after penance in forests to protect his kingdom against evil. In response Buddha himself says he cannot do what Rama did & refuses to return. This clearly proves that Rama was already revered as an ancient historical personality to be emulated in Buddha’s times.Image
Image
Image
Claim # 2: Buddha was not a descendant of Ram because Ram never existed in reality.

Fact: False. Disproved by the very first chapter on Buddha’s Birth in the authoritative biography Buddhacharita which records that Buddha was a descendant of the Suryavanshi Ikshvaku dynasty - from the same lineage to which Rama belonged millennia before him. An even older account of Buddha’s ancestral family tree is found in the Buddhist text Mahāvastu, a composite multi-life hagiography of the Buddha (2nd c. BCE) which details how the sons of Ikshvaku built Kapilavastu and were the forefathers of the Shakyas - the clan of the Buddha.Image
Image
Image
Image
Claim #3: In fact, Buddha lived long before the Valmiki Ramayana was compiled.

Fact: False. We already know that Rama lived many millennia before Buddha from irrefutable evidence in the Ramayana itself & many other Hindu texts.Authoritative Buddhist texts like Mahavamsa also clearly record the Shakya clan as part of Suryavanshi Ikshvaku dynasty with the line of succession from Rishi Sagara to Dasharatha & Rama who lived many generations before Suddhodana (Buddha’s father). Moreover Princeton historian, Robert Goldman's comprehensive comparative analysis of the Ramayana proves that the descriptions of history & geography of Kosala in the Ramayana clearly reflect an era BEFORE the Buddha thus dating it prior to 5th c. BCE (time of Buddha) even by Western standards. His work is considered the most comprehensive & authoritative Western analysis of Ramayana’s historicity. As mentioned before the Buddhacharita also testifies to Valmiki already being revered as the ancient Adi Kavi during Buddha's era.Image
