Do you know?

Unlike popularly believed by many RW Hindus that amby was anti-Islam, Amby not only wanted to convert to Islam rejecting Buddhism he was also a partner in crime with Jinnah against Hindus.

THREAD 🧵 SOME LESSER KNOWN FACTS ABOUT AMBEDKAR ON HIS BIRTHDAY. Image
Amby in His “Bahiskrit Bharat” exhorted his community under the bold heading “If you have to convert, become Musalman”.

He asked his community to convert to islam after rejecting the futility of becoming Buddhist and arya samajist. Image
Veer Savarkar, in his kesari clearly wrote “Amby didn’t do us any favor by not converting to Islam or Christianity” just like what many RW Hindus think today.

Savarkar mentions how Amby used to sing the sweetness of Islam and considered it the best religion. Image
Amby insisted that he was drawn to Buddhist philosophy from childhood after reading a book Buddha vichara.

Savarkar ji had called out Amby’s bluff on Buddhism & asked an apt question- if amby was so fond of Buddhism from his childhood how did he ask his followers to embrace islam or Christianity which considered Buddha as Infidel & heathen?

Thus proving him as a liar.Image
According to Savarkar ji, It wasnt like Amby didn’t convert to Buddhism instead of islam or Christianity just because he had some love for Hindus. He was a Dharma Bhrast as per Savarkar ji.

It was simply because he couldn’t manage to do it or else he would. Image
Do you What was the consequence of Ambedkar’s love for Islam?

Many Mahars (ambys community) did convert to Islam by hearing speeches of Ambedkar.

This is witnessed by A chambhar leader, P.N Rajbhoj who accused Amby of misdirecting his followers in Bombay chronicle. Image
When the entire country was protesting against British for the independence of Bharat, Ambedkar had fully supported British going against the congress government.

Here’s my previous thread on the details of his open support to British and opposing Indian Independence.
Anyway, finally congress formed its government & was fighting against British for independence.

In 1939 when British government wasn’t giving any proper direction regarding independence, congress resigned in protest.
Of course Md. Ali Jinnah was celebrating it as deliverance day for the resignation of congress.
Guess who else was celebrating with Jinnah being his partner in crime?

Our so called greatest Freedom fighter Amby ji. Image
At one point even some sections of Muslims were found to be opposing “Deliverance Day” So the anti-Hindu protest ended up being a partner-in-crime protest by only Jinnah & Amby. Image
The only reason Amby didn’t convert to Islam and chose Buddhism, as per Savarkar, was only for personal ambition - if he could amass a huge number of neo Buddhists, he could establish an independent Buddhist state which wasnt possible by converting to islam. Image

I am surprised so many people didn't even read Ramayana?

Let me try & educate:

Myth 1: Ram never cared about surpanakha's appearance.

Reality: Shri Ram & Lakshman literally made fun of Surpanakha's appearance in Aranya Kanda sarga 18. Image
Image
Image
Myth 2: Sita was from Nepal & naturally brown skinned

Sita was from Mithila mentioned in Ramayana many times.

Shri Ram explicitly described Sita In Ramayana having smooth skin & complexion like rose apple.

(So She was Definitely not pimple faced like Sai pallavi.) Image
Image
Myth 3: There is no mention Surpanakha was ugly/ she initially went undetected by shape shifting.

Reality:
1. In Shurpanakha's 1st appearance in front of Shri Ram She is described as:
-facially unpleasant
-Pot bellied
-Coppery haired
-ugly featured
-brass voiced
-deplorably oldish
-crooked talker
-uncouth
-ill mannered
-abominable.

She appeared in the scene in her real ugly self & only mentioned she can shape shift. She didn't go undetected. She honestly mentioned who she wasImage

Do u know?

Sometime back Amir Khan's son Junaid made a propaganda movie, criticizing social practices of Hinduism.

In the movie Junaid's character questions why Hindu women wear Ghunghat.

Have u seen them questioning Burqa the same way? Image
Image
Image
Of course the father son duo will never question the practice of Burqa but want Hindu women uncovered.

I don't have to tell you the history why Mohamedans always want Hindu women uncovered.

Then he goes on to question the harmless Hindu practice of Agni-ahuti implying it's a superstition.

Never seen them questioning their evil practices of Halala though. Image

Is it a new trend now to paint Portuguese colonization as romantic?

Cute.

Meanwhile in Goa, the Portuguese Inquisition was a 250-year-long horror show of public burnings, mutilations, and mass conversions.

Let’s break the fantasy. Image
When Portuguese Inquisitors landed in Goa, their mission was clear: uproot Paganism and replace it with Catholicism.

The natives—proud and rooted in Dharma— obviously resisted.

So what did the church do? Image
Jesuit saint Francis Xavier converted thousands of native fishermen—not through love, but fear.

Threats to burn their boats.
Starvation.
Brutal deaths.

Imagine losing your livelihood,your life or your faith.

How romantic. 🙃 Image

1. The concept of Ahimsa comes from Vedas itself before any other religion existed. Ahimsa is considered a virtue in many Hindu scriptures.

2. There are Many Verses in Vedas that suggest the prohibition of Cow slaughter. Image
The concept of Ahimsa was first mentioned in Rig veda. Image
Image
Image
Here is a verse from Chandogya Upanishad that lists Ahimsa as a virtue.

Someone whose source is only secondary sources like Wendy Doniger & D.N Jha ofcrs has not studied any primary sources like this. Image

"Hindus used to eat beef before the Muslim invasion" ?????

Meanwhile Ibn Battuta:
"Killing or eating a cow was strictly forbidden; anyone caught doing it should be punished with death"

This is how Bharat has always functioned.Image
Manu needhi Cholan ran a chariot on his own son to give justice to a cow whose calf his son killed mistakenly.

Hindus haven't spared their own children when it came to the protection of cows.

That's how much Hindus Rever cows. Image
While Ellalan cholan sacrificed his son, Bira Gowda gave his own life to protect cows. Image

Did you know?

Bengal was such a nightmare for the British that they couldn’t trust Bengali troops for a second.

Every rebellion, every mutiny — just another reminder that Bengal never let the Empire catch its breath. Image
The Sannyasi Rebellion began in 1770 — not over politics, but famine and extortion.

It was the first war of independence against British.

Monks and peasants picked up arms against colonial loot. For 40 years, they kept British nerves fried. Image
Image
Image
Then came the Santals in 1855. Tribal, land-tied, and fiercely independent — they rose in revolt, shaking British strongholds.

From monks to Santals, Bengal showed the Empire that rebellion here wasn’t a class act. It was collective. Everyone had a score to settle. Image
