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

THREAD 🧵

Both RW & LW eulogises Ambedkar as the epitome of equality & social justice specially towards downtrodden depressed class.

BUT DID HE REALLY HELPED IN UPLIFTING DALITS & ENSURE EQUALITY?

The answer is a BIG NO as has been exposed by many other Dalit leaders themselves who actually worked for Dalit cause but didn’t receive the over hype like amby.Image
An article in Bombay chronicle exposes the piled up testimonies from amby’s own writings that the sanctions of the scheduled caste have been misused & exploited for building up political image of Amby’s own group.

Justice have been sacrificed at the altar of consolidating power & group interest.Image
The article goes on to accuse that Ambedkar neglected the interest of not only all other depressed classes like mang matangs etc, he even let his own mahar community remain backward.

He also let Mangs remain stigmatised as “criminal tribe”. Image

Many people asked me this question that if Ambedkar wanted to convert to Islam initially, why did he later wrote against Islam in his book Pakistan & Partition?

When did he change his views? What made him change his stand against Islam?

THREAD 🧵 Story behind Ambedkar’s change in mind about Islam.

P.S his change of mind against Islam wasn’t any form of love towards Hindus.Image
Throughout his life he ws confused about which religion to choose from.
Let us first look at the Timeline:

1927- he wanted to convert to either Christianity or Islam
1929- he dropped Christianity & settled for islam. Many of his followers converted to islam because of him.
1935 - after being mistreated by Muslims he dropped Islam & convert to sikhism. He realised his ambitions wont be fulfilled if he converted to islam.
1956 - Finally settled for Buddhism.

1. Ambedkar’s own Bahiskrit Bharat edition 15 march 1929 under the editorial “Notice to Hinduism”
2. Muknayak (1920) by Ambedkar
3. Secondary source: Vasant MoonImage
Amby used to lie that he was drawn to Buddhism from childhood after reading a book Buddha vichara.

The truth is he would have happily converted to Islam & because of his influence many from his community had already embraced Islam.

Did you know?

There was a practice in England where a man could parade his wife & children with a collar/halter around her neck and publicly auction her to a bidder to end a marriage.

THREAD 🧵 The wife selling British who claim to civilise us Indians.
Around that time women literally had no rights and were considered property of husbands.

Legal Historian Blackstone explains “By marriage, the very being that is the legal existence of a woman is suspended” Image
That was the position of women in Britain. And today’s feminists claims that British gave rights to Indian women. The Irony! Image

THREAD 🧵 debunking these eternal British-Marxist propaganda to guilt trip general caste.

1. SURNAME:
Do you know Laloo Prasad had once launched a campaign- “Bhurabal Hatao” to wipe out upper castes. It wasn’t meant to improve the condition of depressed class but a campaign to literally obliterate general caste.Image
The result of this campaign was that most general caste people stopped using their surnames that can identify them as general caste.

So Madhurji @ThePlacardGuy please let us know if not being able to use surname to avoid violence from another caste is a criteria for reservation why should the general castes of Bihar who were tortured by laloo Yadav not get the same reservation?
2. EDUCATION:
Not only the claim that upper castes didn’t allow shudras to study is false, shoodras were much much higher in number in schools colleges than ever other castes. Image

Do you know?

The Ibn Sina(Avicenna) whose impact on modern science they are talking about was himself Impacted by Indian science.

🧵 THREAD 🧵

Image
Image
Ibn Sina didn’t come to India. But during his time Indian science was widely known in Baghdad & his own work contains reflection of indian science just like his other contemporaries.

Ibn Sina himself writes that there were discussions in his time on philosophy, geometry and Indian arithmetic.Image
Image
Ibn sina’s father wanted him to learn Indian arithmetic and sent him to a grocer to learn it who was in a habit of using Indian method for calculation.

There is evidence that Ibn Sina introduced in his work the Indian method of testing the simplest functions by using the number 9 and generalised its use for finding the cubes of numbers.Image

THREAD 🧵 AYURVEDA

Do you know?
Once upon a time in Bharat, Ayurveda was a mainstream medical science & taught medicine to the entire world, until it was British who banned Ayurveda & branded it as non-medical in favour of their own European medicine.

This land that gave birth to Ayurveda & taught the entire western world medicine & surgery, is heckling ayurvedic practitioners in their own land just for linking Ayurveda with medical cure.

Are we still living in colonial times?Image
Image
When the entire world was unaware of “Medical cures” our Charaka was teaching us cellular structure of the body & microscopic organisms that causes disease.

Sushruta’s method of rhinoplasty is still practiced all over the world. We taught the world plastic surgery.
Image
Image
After Alexander’s invasion when Greeks started pouring into Bharat they learnt Ayurveda & developed their medicine. Image
