๐ Built by ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐ค๐ (1520sโ30s), this was a Vijayanagara frontier fort controlling movement between AP & Karnataka. Colonial historians later downgraded it as "minor". Minor? A 2,700-ft citadel controlling two regions. But the empire narrative couldn't accommodate decentralised power. So it became "minor".
2/ From 1900 BCE to 1900 CEโ2,500 yearsโhistorians found fewer than 500 verified Sati incidents.

2๏ธโฃ Built by Junga Nayaka under Vijayanagara rule, but the site's earlier story is messier.
2๏ธโฃ Hiuen Tsang described Rakta Mrittika Mahavihar as having 'red brick walls' with over 1,000 monks studying here in the 7th century. A major Buddhist learning center in Eastern India, predating Nalanda's peak fame.
2/ This wasn't just dirt. A 3,000-year-old cemetery fused with a fortified temple, etched stepwell boasting fish, turtles, scorpions. Hoysala pillars, Vijayanagara scripts, a bicentennial Hanuman shrine, and a peepal tree clinging to granite like ancient defiance. But highways wait for no history. ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ณ๏ธ๐ฟ

2/ Located in Ujjayini, โMrichchhakatikaโ focuses not on deities or royalty, but on everyday individualsโan altruistic yet impoverished Brahmin named Charudatta, an astute courtesan called Vasantsena, as well as ambitious politicians and street scoundrels. 
2/ Raised in royal grandeur, the daughter of Hussain Nizam Shah I excelled in a diverse array of languages like Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Marathi, and Kannada. Her talents extended to the sitar, painting, and even the game of poloโskills that were exceptional for women of her stature during that era. #GemsOfIndology
2๏ธโฃ In 1520, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan, sailing for Spain, first saw Tierra del Fuego, naming it the "Land of Fire" due to numerous coastal fires lit by Indigenous peoples. Among them were the Selk'nam, also known as Ona or Onawo, one of the four tribes present when Europeans arrived.
2๏ธโฃ Fast forward to 3000 BCE, the Bronze Age Steppe migrations changed everything. These male-heavy migrant groups (up to 14 men for every woman!) swept across Europe, bringing patriarchal Indo-European cultures. This massive male influx reshaped societies and sidelined earlier goddess-centric beliefs. Could migration be a key driver of social change?
@narendramodi @PMOIndia @mygovindia @IndicMeenakshi 2. ๐บ๏ธ In Vedic and classical Indian texts, this vast water body was called "Mahodadhi" (the great ocean), "Vangasagara" (Bengal Sea), and "Purvapayodhi" (Eastern Sea). These names reflect the immense cultural and maritime legacy of the eastern coast

2๏ธโฃ An ancient inscription traces back to Mahasamanta Shashankadava, believed to be connected to Shashanka, the Gauda monarch. Around the 13th century, the Khayaravala dynasty, which likely had ties to local Kharwar tribes, governed the area. A notable inscription from 1223 CE references Shri Pratapa, who triumphed over a Muslim "Yavana" force. The royal seal features a humped bull as its emblem.
2๏ธโฃ The revered structures are termite mounds, not ant hills, as termites and ants are biologically different species. In Konkani, "roโin" signifies anthills, which historically connects to the Austric-rooted word "Rono," meaning "full of holes."
