Siraj ud-Daulah impregnated Madhavi, his own Hindu official Mohanlal's pretty sister. Terrified that his grandfather Alivardi Khan would find out, Siraj tied his newborn baby to a horse’s back & shot an arrow at its leg to ensure the horse would bolt wildly & kill the baby.

A panicky Madhavi begged her brother Mohanlal to save her baby. Mohanlal immediately rode off, somehow managing to stop the horse & rescue the infant. Mohanlal, a Kashmiri Pandit, was shocked by Siraj’s action & left Murshidabad with his sister Madhavi & her baby for good.

Chaitra Shukla Pratipada is NOT just regional.
Ugadi - Yug (era) + Adi (new start) or Samvatsarādi is the 1st day of Hindu lunisolar New Year & the day when Sri Brahma created the universe
Gudi (flag) + Padwa (Pratipada) refers to ancient Vedic Indradhvaja festival on this day

Also called Samvatsārambha-utsava it was when rituals of eating Neem, offering cool drinks, offering oil to Brahmans & women, reading omens, presenting gifts to scholars, listening to the almanac were all specified in Sanskrit texts Sāmrājyalakshmīpițhika & Jayasimhakalpadruma

Imagine if Be****liity, pedo, necro, sexual slavery, marital r@p3 - were NOT punishable by legal code. Such legal code from the authoritative Islamic Hanafi lawbook Al-Hedaya STILL guides Sharia in courts & is taught to scholars in Madrasas in India TODAY.
🧵 Image Over 90% of Muslims in India, Pakistan & Bangladesh follow the Hanafi school of Islamic law. Their most authoritative text is Al-Hidaya by Al-Marghinani (12th c.). Hidaya is the primary guide for Hanafi law in Sharia courts & several years of study are devoted to it in Madrasas.

Time to bust your pathetic LIES portraying barbaric Mughals as syncretic saints celebrating Holi. Your own source Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri itself proves Eid-e-Gulabi/Aab-e-Pashi is NOT Holi but a Persian festival called Ab-i-Pashan held in in Persian months Khordad/Tir (June-July) 🧵

Mughals who never identified as Indians but identified with Islamic Persian culture used the Gulab Pash - an elongated rose water vase with a perforated sprinkler. Akbar introduced the festival Ab-i-Pashan in Tir/July to his court, where Gulab Pash is used to sprinkle rose-water.

To say Vedic women were not educated is a blatant LIE.

Both Panini (>6th c. BCE & Patanjali attest to women studying in Vedic schools (Charanas) proven by specific terms. A female student of Kaṭha school was called Kaṭhī, one of Bahvṛicha school was called Bahvṛichī, etc.

Image
Image
Kātyāyana & Patanjali refer to women studying grammatical system of Āpiśali as Āpiśalā Brāhmanī or a female student studying Panian grammar as Pāninīyā Brāhmanī. Women students studying Mímāmsā works of Kāśakritsni were referred to as Kāśakritsnī.

Can you name the Hindu temple where this Shiva-Parvati pandal is located?
Well - this is not a temple in India at all but a recreation of the reception area of a 7th c. mansion in Penjikent,Tajikistan with paintings of Weshparkar & Nana - the Sogdian versions of Shiva-Parvati.
🧵 Image Almost 80 houses from 720-30 CE were excavated in Pendjikent, Tajikistan with exterior pillared porches & outdoor paintings depicting Weshparkar (Shiva) with Trishula & Nana (Durga) with sun & moon in her hands along with Panchatantra stories & Hindu gods like Surya on chariot.

4000+ years ago, brick houses in SSC site Kalibangan had courtyards, 6/7 rooms, & staircases to upper floor. Ritual brick fire altars were found in many houses, which were not for cooking as they had a long, thin raised column in the middle.

Each house faced 2 to 3 streets & was part of a grid layout in the township. The main doorway opened onto the street. There were covered drains in the street made from kiln fired bricks so that they were waterproof. Terracotta pipes along walls drained extra water from roofs.

1) Vijayanagar kings used temple taxes to build, serve & protect 100s of temples while Aurangzeb DESTROYED 1000s of temples after taxing Hindus.

2) Aurangzeb's Jizya tax on Hindus was RANSOM just to be able to live in an Islamic state. But Muslims under his rule paid NO taxes.



Image
Image
Image
Image
100% of Jizya collected by torturing Hindus went to Muslim charities & stipends. The stipends went to the Ulama or Muslim theologians - the same virulent fanatics hell-bent on humiliating Hindus & doing Jihad on them. Even Aurangzeb's sister & son begged him to remove Jizya.

Those who threaten that ASI should excavate Hindu temples for Jain ruins conveniently IGNORE 100s of Islamic mosques built on top of mutilated remains of Jain & Hindu temples, like the Jami Masjid of Ahmedabad where a black marble Murti of Pārasnātha lies desecrated.

In 1411, Ahmed Shah 1 ravaged Karnavati, decimating 100s of Jain & Hindu temples. Every desecrated deity, pillar, niche & stone was savagely broken & used to "build" the Jami Masjid as a trophy over Kafirs, glorifying Islamic fanaticism & iconoclasm just like Gyanvapi.

If Mughals were such great builders & recorded everything unlike us - how many manuals on architecture did they write?

ZERO.

Not a SINGLE manual on architectural or building techniques by Mughals exists. In contrast Hindus have 140 + elaborate manuals on architecture alone!
🧵 Image So how did Mughals build such grand “Indo-Saracenic” architecture?
The answer is clear - they built nothing. They just took over Hindu buildings & Islamicized them or forced Hindus to make them.
Not a single one of the 30 most famous Mughal treatises is about building anything.

Lying Eyeshadow bandit claims Aurangzeb destroyed only few temples & only 80 temples were destroyed by Muslims from 1192-1729 AD. Yet Aurangzeb's OWN OFFICIAL biography Maāsir-I-Ālamgiri lists him proudly destroying 300+ Mandirs in Mewar alone in 1680!

Aurangzeb hated Hindus so much that he destroyed Mandirs even BEFORE becoming king! 27 yr old Aurangzeb destroyed Chintaman temple converted it into a mosque & slaughtered a cow there. He destroyed temple of Khande Rai in Satara & got several temples in Gujarat demolished. Image

Anyone claiming "Forced conversion by Muslims is just rhetoric." is a lying, malicious clown. Just ~200 yrs ago "Ghazi" Tipu Sultan specifically instructed his Jihadis to mass circumcise not just the living but even DEAD corpses among 80,000 Hindu prisoners from Coorg!

In a letter to Runmust Khan, Tipu gloats about how he forcibly converted ("raised them to the honor of Islam") 40,000 Hindus from Coorg to Islam by forcibly circumcising & stuffing beef in their mouths leaving no other option. This was his warning to all non-Muslims.

Ruchika LIAR is exposed by her OWN sources & scholars:
1. No Jain record of so called 7th c. impalement of Jains by Shaivas in TN exists
2. No inscription of such event exists
3. Shiva shrine in cave monastery was constructed 300 years later & REOCCUPIED as a Jain monastery again


Image
Image
Image
Image
Literary reference to this alleged incident come from 11th c. 400+ years later. Sambandar the so called persecutor himself does not mention it at all. Also there are several versions of the story, some of which say the Jaina monks impaled themselves because they lost a debate.

"Assam was originally a part of Myanmar" says Kapil Sibal. Burma temporarily ruled Assam for just 2 years from 1822-24.
Historical maps like this by Pieter van der Aa in 1720 clearly show Assam as SEPARATE from Burma/Aracan.

This John Senex map from London, 1721, titled "A New Map of India & China", during Mughal times clearly outlines Assam as "Achem" & Burma/Aracan as a separate smaller territory to the south Image

During the great famines of 1876, 1896 & 1899, the British starved 30+ million Indians, using railways to transport millions of tons of food to be exported to Britain. The Railways were built to plunder India of its resources to fuel Britain's Industrial Revolution & profits

The great lie that Britain built the railways to industrialize India is busted by statistics that show railways expansion was designed only to carry food & resources to ports as exports that fattened Europe, while destroying India's industries & spreading famine & poverty.

On Nov. 8, 1946, interim PM Nehru watched police open fire, killing 400-1000 Hindus in Nagarnausa, Bihar for retaliating against Muslims for Noakhali massacre (5000+ slaughtered, Lakhs raped) In a letter to Padmaja Naidu, Nehru expressed RELIEF that 400 Hindus were murdered!

On Nov. 4th, Nehru threatened Hindus saying the "Govt. would not show any mercy.... they will be FIRED UPON & BOMBED from the air if necessary". He exhorted Hindus whose families were raped & massacred at Noakhali to protect Muslims "even at the cost of sacrificing your all"! Image

The Āyudhā Pūjā on Mahānavamī dates back to Vedic times. All workers offer their implements of action to Sarasvatī for blessings, so that the instruments ensure success of new initiatives. But this Pūjā held special significance for Kings & Kshatriyas defending the nation Image 2
During Āyudhā Pūjā the kings would perform Nīrājanā, a ceremony where Durga is worshipped along with weapons of war, followed by doing Ārtī to horses, elephants & chariots (Vājins, Hastins, Rathas). The next day was the march of Victory of entire army called the Vijayayātrā. Image

When 1000s of Hindus were massacred by Muslims in Calcutta, Gandhi was asked what Hindus should do in such cases, he replied:
“If through deliberate courage the Hindus had died to a man, that would have been deliverance of Hinduism & India & purification of Islam in this land”
Image

In a grotesque travesty of epic proportions, Gandhi would repeat this theme again & again that Hindus should willingly die at Muslim hands. The bizarre justification was that “If we were to be killed, would we rather not be killed by our Muslim brothers?”

Brahmin haters will cancel even a great scientist like MS Swaminathan, who ensured India’s food security. The claim that “rice-heavy diets of South India were not historical” is FALSE. 2000 yr old Tamil Sangam texts prove rice-heavy diets were a staple of S. Indian cuisine.
Image 2
Rice was no “Brahminical” conspiracy but a staple across all classes. Sangam works Puṟanāṉūṟu, Poruṇarāṟṟuppaṭai, Naṟṟiṇai ,Akanāṉūṟu & Maduraikkāñci reveal it was relished with vegetables or meat & even offered to gods. Fertile Kaveri valley was abundant with rice
