Let’s talk about your baseless assumption that literature on the Himalayas is a Sino-Pak monopoly or that such literature is merely rhetoric.

Those not born in the cradle of the Himalayas obviously fail to grasp that the Himalayas represent the soul of a nation.

[THREAD] 1/n The Himalayas are not tools for political rhetoric. They encompass a profound sentiment of devotion.

Innumerable ancient Sanskrit texts beautifully expound the magnificence of the Himalayas, but I'm choosing excerpts from one of the masterpieces, Kalidasa’s Kumarasambhavam. 2/n

While I believe that we should celebrate women everyday, it’s always special to have one whole day dedicated to recognize their profound impact on our lives.

Before #InternationalWomensDay2020 ends, I’d like to pay my respects to 4 remarkable women. #SheInspiresUs Thread: Ahilyabai Holkar (1725-1775)

Maratha Queen. Mother of Hindu Renaissance. Fearless Warrior. Skilled Administrator. Profound Dharmic.

She single-handedly led armies into battle, regained lost territory, rebuilt temples plundered, desecrated, & destroyed by Islamic invaders (1/n)
