Understanding Halal Economics: why Hindus/Non-muslims are losing their spaces in the markets.

🧵 1/3….

Rajendra Sachar was the biggest liar to emerge in post-independence India. Those who cite his report to prove that Muslims in independent India are in a dire state are either hypocrites or know nothing of economics. Muslims possess around 12% of the global purchasing power. So who is buying the remaining 85% of halal products? Of course, the Kafirs (non-Muslims).

The size of the halal economy exceeds the GDP of countries like India, Germany, or Japan. Then why wouldn’t there be halal banks? This leads us to three core questions:
1.Interest (usury) is forbidden in Islam, so how will a halal bank generate income?
2.If they open their own bank, how will it concern us?
3.Why would anyone deposit money without earning interest?

Answers:

First, in Islam, while interest is haram (forbidden), profit-sharing is not. So if someone takes a loan, they must share profits. The borrower will need to present their company’s financials. That means the bank will have insider knowledge of most businesses.

Secondly, halal banks will only invest in halal businesses — and that too, without interest. This implies that the same product, if produced by a halal-certified company, will have access to cheaper and lower-risk capital. Consequently, over time, non-halal companies will be forced out of the market due to losing in fair competition.

Thirdly, who and why would anyone deposit money without earning interest? For the same reason people deposit in Swiss banks — they pay a fee for privacy. In this case, a local halal bank offers the same benefit with no fee and no need for hawala or hundi transactions to move money overseas. So why not keep money here instead of Swiss banks?
… 2/3

Now comes the idea of a Halal Stock Exchange. To understand this, Suppose 57 Muslim countries launch such exchanges. A vast amount of surplus capital will be available for investment. Suppose two Indian companies get listed there to raise funds. Here, halal companies get exemptions from all types of fees. So if investors gradually avoid non-halal companies, the latter will be pressured to obtain halal certification. This way, one after another, Indian companies will start conforming to halal norms, and non-halal companies will disappear from the market. We are already seeing this, where from dairy products, to toothpastes, to fish, to diapers, to spices, grains , and many more things are suddenly appearing with halal certification labels.

After independence, within four decades, the Shekhawati Marwaris replaced Bengalis from Burrabazar (Kolkata’s major trading hub). Now, Bengali-speaking Muslims — once Marwari employees — are replacing the Marwaris. Where did this money come from?

Answer: From the Halal Economic System.

History will remember this Islamic State leader for the rapes and torture he inflicted on women and children!

Just one case example: 1/3 🧵 …

The Islamic regime in Iran under this evil leader punished peaceful protesters during the 2022 “Woman Life Freedom” uprising, where women and children were protesting against gender based discrimination and oppression.

From the Amnesty Report 2023, of the 45 survivors, including 26 men, 12 women and seven children, were subjected to rape, gang rape, and/or other forms of sexual violence by intelligence and security forces after their arbitrary arrests.

Sixteen of the 45 survivors whose cases were documented in the report were raped, including six women, seven men, a 14-year-old girl, and two boys aged 16 and 17. Six of them – four women and two men – were gang raped by multiple male agents.   

The State agents raped women and girls vaginally, anally, and orally; while men and boys were raped anally. Survivors were raped with wooden and metal batons, glass bottles, hosepipes, and/or agents’ sexual organs and fingers. Rape took place in detention facilities and police vans, as well as schools or residential buildings unlawfully repurposed as detention places. 2/3

Farzad, who was gang raped in a van belonging to the Special Forces of the police told Amnesty International: “Plainclothes agents made us face the walls of the vehicle and gave electric shocks to our legs…They tortured me through beatings … resulting in my nose and teeth being broken. They pulled down my trousers and raped me…I was really being ripped apart…I was throwing up a lot and bleeding from my rectum.”  

Maryam, who was gang raped in a Revolutionary Guards detention centre, recounted that her rapists told her: “You are all addicted to penis, so we showed you a good time. Isn’t this what you seek from liberation?”

An interesting analysis on the ‘nationalisation of bank’ scam under Indira Gandhi ~

Do read the entire 🧵
This is Especially important for those who grew up in post Indira Gandhi era.
1/4….🧵

Analysing how ‘Bank nationalisation’ was one of the biggest forms of corruption that India saw, and how the common people of India were looted.

Indira Gandhi nationalized banks and increased the interest rates, which at that time made the common people very happy.

📍question 1 : Did the common people get loans from banks at that time?

- - —-The answer is NO. They would take loans from moneylenders or go bankrupt by pawning their jewellery. The common people of India started building houses, buying cars, and educating their children with loans from banks only after Atalji became the Prime Minister.
…. 2/4

📍question 2 : So who took loans at that time?

---- People like Tata, Birla, Ambani, Bajaj etc., took loans, along with the bank employees. As a result, at that time the banks did not have much workload. After the money went to the government, where and at what interest did the government lend it? Even the general managers of the banks did not have an answer to that.

📍question 3: But what was the interest rate of loans ?

-----18% to 24%

📍question 4: Businessmen took loans at such interest? How did they do business?

-----There was no competition at that time. When business houses increased the Prices, the buyers had no option but to buy at those high rates. In 1984, when Indira Gandhi died, only few houses in India had TV, refrigerators, or personal vehicles. People would borrow expensive suits when it was necessary, while two shirts and one pair of pants would work fine for most people for the whole year. Only few people could afford to own/ build pucca houses, even in cities. That was because the high interest rates being charged were beyond the purchasing power of the common people.

Not everyone could do business, and even if someone was interested in starting a business, it were only those who reached the Gandhi family by bribing the big network of corrupt IAS officers, could start and continue doing businesses. As a result, everything was highly and arbitrarily priced.

Why we need new Hindu Temple Act -

📍Let’s take the case of Tarakeswara temple.
Do you know who decides who will head the Tarakeswar Temple Trust? The District Judge. The temple committee includes the District Magistrate, and a few political leaders.

However, the same district has the Furfura Sharif and Bandel Church. Who appoints the heads there? Does the District Judge have any authority in these two cases ? The answer is a definite NO.

📍But why does Tarakeswar have a separate law?

In 1817, the British government brought a bill in the Madras Presidency to loot Hindu temples. Over the next 100 years, they introduced several laws to strengthen this control. To Continue with this loot, post -independence, Nehru passed the ‘Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act,’ 1951. When the Madras High Court and the Supreme Court declared this Act unconstitutional, Nehru brought an even stringent law in 1959. The control and looting increased further.

In 2012, Swami Dayananda Saraswati and Swami Paramatmananda filed a case in the Supreme Court regarding this issue. That case remains unresolved even today.

📍What we now need is a new Hindu Temples Act. Government looting MUST stop. Even if that requires a constitutional amendment. If Al-Ameen Mission can independently run JEE/NEET coaching, why can’t Tarakeswar or Dakshineswar temples do the same? If Christian medical colleges can run hospitals in Vellore, why can’t we? Why does Ramakrishna Mission have to beg for minority status? Why must they be buried under layers of government red tape?

It is time for us to reflect. There’s a lot of work for us Hindus to do.

[ ✍️ Sudipta Guha in Bengali. I have translated it keeping the essence as much as I could ] 📍I will just add a bit about RKM and why it was forced to declare itself a minority organisation - the CPIM government after coming to power initially would try to control it, failing which, it forcibly shut down Rahora Ramkrishna Mission for 11 months to teach them a lesson.
After this, RKM was forced to ask for the status of a minority organisation in order to function.

Of course did CPIM dare to do this with any Islamic organisation ? We all know the answer.

📍Along with a new Hindu Temple Act, we also need to remove the Article 30, 30 A.

It now seems the Harappan culture was not the start of Indian civilisation, but just another dot in our long story of human civilisation.

New studies have revealed that humans lived in Gujarat's Kutch area over 12,000 years ago, predating the Harappan culture by 5000 years. These people ate molluscs found in the region’s mangrove forests, and used a variety of stone tools to hunt.

This new discovery suggests that instead of any sudden external influence, there has been a gradual, locally rooted process of adaptation and cultural development in human civilisation in the Indian subcontinent.

‘The accumulated knowledge of local geology, water resources, and navigation of these pre-historic humans may have later helped the Harappans plan their settlements more effectively and engage in long-distance trade.’

So now we push back our civilisational timeline to 12000 years from BP, leaving behind the SSVC. Personally I think, even earlier, around 40-50,000 years back, India likely had one of the largest Homo sapiens population (beyond Africa), and this is supported by various evidences (climatic and archaeological). While much of the northern parts of Europe and Asia remained uninhabitable during Ice Age; the Indian subcontinent had mild climate, innumerable rivers, fertile valleys, and coastal areas. With plenty of water sources, unlimited food, and safe shelters, early humans would have thrived here.

Archaeological evidences from sites like Jwalapuram, Attirampakkam, and the Narmada Valley, suggest continued human habitation from antiquity. India also likely served as a main point for human migration into Southeast Asia and Oceania.

So it can be said that India was a key center in the history of early human habitation, especially during the revolutionary time when Homo sapiens undertook global dispersal.

Why is Islam and beef synonymous in the Indian subcontinent, despite cows not being plenty in Saudi Arabia ?

🧵 1/4…
Almost 98% Indian subcontinent Muslims are converted from Hinduism/Buddhism/Jainism at some point of time in history after the invasions started. They were converted forcibly, by being force-fed beef in many cases.

Yet today Beef is synonymous with Islam here. In fact, after marrying into a Muslim family, often the first thing done after conversion to Islam, is being fed beef. This eating beef is an essential step in conversions of Hindus to Islam in the Indian subcontinent, and elsewhere.
… 2/4

In Saudi Arabia, the main livestock consists of Sheep (63%), Goat (30%), Camel (5%) and Cattle (2%).
These figures are despite a huge push in Saudi Arabia's cattle and dairy industry in recent times.
Yet when the foreign Muslim invaders came to India, they suddenly started considering cow as an important part of their diet. The invaders who were used to eating goat and sheep meat, (remember Bakr-i-Eid), suddenly became voracious proponents of cow meat. Why?
The answer lies in Islamic invaders' need to not just forcefully subjugate the Hindus but also to humiliate them. They realised they can achieve this by widespread Destruction of temples and Cow Slaughter. That is how Beef was first connected with Islam.

This false claim that the term Hindus was coined by the Arabs in the 8th century CE, was a fertile imagination of Romila Thapar and D.N. Jha. They however did not explain the basis of their conclusion, nor did they cite any evidences in the support of their claims. Even Arab Muslim writers did not make such claims.

Another popular theory among these category of writers is that the word Hindu is a Persian corruption of Sindhu, resulting from the Persian practice of replacing S with H. Even this theory has no supporting evidences. In fact the word Persia itself contains S which should have become Perhia, if this theory was correct.

📍Epigraphic Evidence of the term Hindu prior to 8th century CE -

The Hamadan, Persepolis and Nagsh-I-Rustam Inscriptions of Persian king Darius, mention certain people Hindu, as included in his empire. These inscriptions are dated between 20-485 BCE. This establishes that the term Hi (n) du was in use more than 500 years before the Common Era.

📍Hind and its derivative forms are used more than 70 times in Ashokan inscriptions. For instance in the Jaugadha, separate rock edict II, the lines 3 & 4, read-
“All men are my people. I desire for my people that they may be provided with all welfare and happiness. I desire for my people, including the people of Hind and beyond and I desire for all men.”

The Edict further, says in lines 7 & 8 - “Dhamma may be followed and the people of Hind and beyond may be served.” The Ashokan inscriptions establish the antiquity of the name Hind for India to at least third century B.C.E.

📍Evidence from Pahlvi Avesta:

In the Avesta, Hapta-Hindu is used for Sanskrit Sapta-Sindhu, the Avesta being dated variously between 5000-1000 B.C.E. This again indicates that the term Hindul is as old as the word Sindhu. Sindhu is a Vedic term used in the Rigeda. And therefore, the term Hindu is as ancient as the Rigveda.
In the Avestan Gatha Shatir, 163rd Verse speaks of the visit of Veda Vyas to the court of Gustashp and in the presence of Zorashtra, Veda Vyas introduces himself saying [man marde am Hind jijad. (I am man born in Hind).

No way is the word Hindu Arabic in origin!
It’s an absolute lie or distortion of facts, whichever way one wants to see it! 📍The Greek term Indoi is a softened form of Hindu, where the initial H was dropped as the Greek alphabet has no aspirate. This term Indoi was used in Greek literature by Hekataeus (late 6th century BCE) and Herodotus (early 5th century BCE), thus establishing that the Greeks were using this derivative of Hindu as early as 6th century BCE.

📍The Hebrew Bible uses Hodul for India , which is a Judaic form of Hindu. The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) is considered earlier than 300 BCE. Today the Hebrew spoken in Israel also uses Hodu for India.

📍The Chinese used the term Hien-tu for Hindu about 100 BCE; While describing movements of the Sai-Wang (100 BCE). The Chinese annals state that the Sai-Wang went towards the South and passing Hien-tu reached Ki-Pin.
Later Chinese travellers Fa-Hien (5th century CE), and Huen-Isang (7th century CE) use a slightly modified term Yintu , but the affinity to Hindu is still retained. This term Yintul continues to be used till today.

I Have often seen Leftists and mlecchas mocking Sri Krishna about His 16108 ‘gopinis.’

Here is the story of what really took place.
1/6 🧵….

The story is from Dwapara Yuga -

A cruel asura name Narakasura had kidnapped sixteen thousand girls. His cruelty was so well known that everyone trembled at his very name.

The gods were helpless against this asura. The asura had a boon that he would not die at the hands of anyone, except his mother.

This was a strange gift of immortality. Can a mother be a son-killer?
….
2/6

With the thought of saving the girls, many kings, rishis, and gods went to Dwarka to seek help from Sri Krishna.

As they narrated, Vasudeva listened to everything with a calm and smiling face, but said nothing. Something of a smirk even appeared on His face. Seeing this smirk Indra deva lost his patience, and he spoke up sharply and sarcastically. Hearing the sarcasm, Dwarkadhish's smile vanished for a moment, and Indra had a vision reminding him of how as Gopala, Krishna had crushed Indra’s pride by carrying the Govardhan hill.

As Indra restrained his anger, suddenly the queen of Dwarka, Satyabhama, entered the assembly hall. She had heard all about the torture and pain of the 16108 girls and was red with anger. It was then the queen of Dwarka promised to fight Narakasura.

Mother of Frauds - as 🧵 1/6

"Turns out she (Mother Teresa) was a child trafficker, selling babies and funnelling between $50-100 million/year to the Vatican. Mother Teresa's connections include Baby Doc Duvalier, the Haitian dictator, Saving's and Loan criminal Charles Keating, and Robert Maxwell (the father of Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking partner, Ghislaine Maxwell).

And here's the kicker! Mother Teresa opened the D.C. based Home for Infant Children with none other than Hillary Clinton. This orphanage of sorts was quietly closed in 2012."
MT's Christianity was based on an obsession with suffering and death and that influenced her 'care giving' work. She saw the struggles of those in poverty as admirable, and believed that it brought them closer to God. She likened their suffering to Christ on the cross and encouraged and practiced it within her 'hospitals' and 'orphanages'
Doctors who visited her institutions were shocked at their terrible conditions. Medical care was administered by volunteers who had no medical training, hygiene was almost non-existent, needles were reused until they became blunt, pain management was non-existent, and the caregiving staff were not able to differentiate between those who were dying, and those who had curable illnesses.

📍Another site found, comparable to Sinauli.

Recent Excavations at the Tilwara Sakin in Baraut, District Bagpat, Uttar Pradesh, by the @ASIGoI have found burial remains from the Chalcolithic period.
These findings are giving a more detailed look into the Copper Age burial rites and customs. An important finding includes detailed geometric design engraved onto copper, which shows presence of advanced metal artistry in India during the Chalcolithic era.

This Tilwara site is just 10km away from the Sinauli site, which had earlier revealed Copper Age burial customs and chariots.


Some more photos from the site.

In my previous post that showed the Christian leanings of Max Müller, I was asked to show how Max Müller mistranslated the Vedas, here are two examples ~

📍Katha Upanishad (Chapter 1, Verse 23)
नायमात्मा प्रवचनेन लभ्यो न मेधया न बहुना श्रुतेन। यमेवैष वृणुते तेन लभ्यस्तस्यैष आत्मा विवृणुते तनूं स्वाम्‌

Max Müller translated it as -‘That Self, cannot be gained by the Veda, nor by understanding, nor by much learning. He whom the Self chooses, by him the Self can be gained. The Self chooses him (his body) as his own.’

Now check the translation by Sri Aurobindo ~ ‘The Self is not to be won by eloquent teaching, nor by brain power, not by much learning: but only he whom his Being chooses can win Him: for to him this Self bares His body.’

Max Müller in his translation modified ‘Pravachan’ to represent ‘Veda’, which was corrected by Sri Aurobindo, as ‘eloquent teaching.’

Thus, Müller’s version downplays the importance of the Vedas for self-realization, giving them an inferior position.

📍Katha Upanishad (Chapter 1, Verse 25)

यस्य ब्रह्म च क्षत्रं च उभे भवत ओदनः। मृत्युर्यस्योपसेचनं क इत्था वेद यत्र सः ॥

Max Müller’s translation- ‘He to whom the sages are as meat and heroes as food for his eating and Death is an ingredient in His banquet, how thus shall one know of Him where He abides?’

Sri Aurobindo writes : ‘He for whom priesthood and nobility both are as food and death is as a sauce, who really knows where it is?’

Here Müller adds the word ‘meat,’ when the Sanskrit word ‘Odan’, simply means cooked rice, and has no association with ‘meat.’ Müller’s addition of ‘meat,’ puts in a word that is not there in the original verse.

Max Müller helped the British in slowly cutting off the Hindus from their original religious and cultural heritage. His translations with their subtle distortions alienated the Hindus from their ancient heritage. Since he did a lot of translations, these got widely spread, causing irreparable damages. There are two more narratives that were started by him to show Hindu -Indian civilisation as an inferior one -

1. AIT theory, which claimed Aryans came from outside, starting the Aryan-Dravidian rift, and

2. Sanskrit was a foreign language.

Müller’s translations and narratives unfortunately have had a long lasting negative impact on the collective consciousness of the Hindus. Not only was the Hindu society divided, there was created a strong sense of cultural inferiority.

This was later further reinforced by the Marxist-I$lamist ‘academicians’ post independence.

Witch hunting in Europe was very much associated with the Church.

From Legal POV (as per UC Berkeley Law) :
‘Historians have identified a number of legal developments that led to the hunting and subsequent trials of w!tches in Early Modern Europe.

1. One was the idea of “heretical fact,” by Pope John XXII (1316-1334), that made heresy to be seen as an act or a deed, and not merely an intellectual crime.

2. Another one was the establishment of a link between witchcraft and heresy, a link that had not existed before the end of the 15th century, which emerged because of a new theory of “diabolical witchcraft” that held that the practice of malefice (such as using religious objects to curse one’s neighbor) involved an active pact with the Devil, and was therefore a heretical act and not just a ritual performed by misguided country folk.

These views of witchcraft was then spread throughout Europe by handbooks like the Malleus Maleficarum.

The first wave of w!tchhunting occurred in the 15th and early 16th centuries, and the second wave came in 17th century. Witch hunts were seen across all of Early Modern Europe, but the area that saw maximum w!tch hunting is said to be the southwestern parts of Germany, where the highest concentration of w!tch trials occurred between 1561 to 1670.’ The witch hunts in Europe took off in the 15th century and lasted for almost 300 years, resulting in the prosecution of roughly 90,000 people, with nearly 45,000 executions.
Belief in witches and witchcraft had been present in European culture for centuries, but the level of systematic, widespread persecution that occurred during this period was unprecedented. It is said the printing press helped in the fast spread of books like ‘Malleus maleficarum,’ that led to mass scale witch hunting.
Malleus maleficarum was both a theoretical and practical guide for identifying, interrogating, and prosecuting witches.

You are lying @kirawontmiss !

Mu$lims DID NOT invent Algorithms or Algebra, or for that matter anything associated with Mathematics.

In 1974, IBM through its Advertisement had acknowledged the historical fact that 1500 Years back three Indians, Bhaskara, Brahmagupta and Aryabhatta, had developed Algebra.

The origins of algebra, however, go further back than just 1500 years. Roots of Algebra can be traced back to the ancient texts known as the ‘Shulba Sutras,’ the earliest of which was compiled around 800 BCE. The four major Shulba Sutras, which are mathematically the most significant, are Baudhayana, Manava, Apastamba and Katyayana. It is in these Shulba Sutras that one finds early forms of algebraic formulas with reasoning, and the problem solving methods.

It is from the Shulba Sutras that the world learned Mathematics, including Algebra.

The word algorithm, came from the Arab mathematician/astronomer Al-Khwarizmi who wrote a book copied from Indian mathematicians, and he had acknowledged that too.

In 12th century, Latin translations of al-Khwarizmi's textbook on Indian arithmetic (Algorithmo de Numero Indorum), codified various Indian numerals, and introduced the decimal-based number system to the Western world.

Today Mu$lims are claiming they invented Algebra and Algorithms, and entire Google is filled up these Mu$lim lies!

|| An example of Nexus between Criminals and Politicians, and Police Failure in W•B ~ the Murd€r of DCP Vinod Mehta on 18th March 1984 ||

The police in W•B botching up investigations (eg: Kamduni gang-r@pe case), or failing to carry out their normal duties is not new. From CPI-M to T-M-C, the trend continues.

A particularly h0rrific incident that comes to mind was the 1984 murd€rs of Vinod Mehta, a 35 year old IPS officer, then DC (Port) of Kolkata Police, and his bodyguard Mukhtar Ali.

In broad daylight, Vinod Mehta (35), and Mukhtar Ali (36), were dragged into a narrow lane in GardenReach, by a mob. Four hours later, their mut¡lated bodies were discovered.

Vinod Mehta's nak€d body was found in a drain with his eyes g0uged out. His hands and feet had been tied, and the body had multiple burn and stab wounds. Mukhtar Ali’s arms and legs had been sev€red, and what remained of his torso, was only a charred heap.

Vinod Mehta, an IPS officer from Punjab, was known as an honest officer, who could not be bribed.

1/4 … 🧵👇🏼
2/4

On the morning of 18th March, 1984 (it was a Sunday), after receiving input from the Home Secretary Rathin Dasgupta that trouble was brewing in the Garden Reach area, Mehta immediately rushed to the spot.

The local police station was informed of the DC’s visit to GardenReach (a no-go Mu$lim area), yet the police made delays, and went to check half-hour an hour later.
As they entered GardenReach, they were met with bombs and bricks. As the police stood there, they suddenly noticed Mehta's parked car, but he or his bodyguard were nowhere to be seen.
Few policemen then went to his house to check if he was there. Not finding him at home, finally the police was forced to launch a manhunt in the GardenReach area.

Re-Reading the 1971 Indo -PK war atroc!t!es on Hindu women.

It is said that the number of mass r@p€s in the 9 month long war is between 200,000 and 400,000.

Most of the r@p€ victims of the Pak!stan! Army and its allies (razakars), were Hindu women. Many of these women di€d in captivity, or later committed suic¡de, while others migrated to India.

During the war, a fatwa was declared in Pak!stan that said Hindu women could be taken as the "booty of war". Imams and MsLm religious leaders of Pak!stan openly declared that the Bengali Hindu women were 'gonimoter maal' (war booty) and they openly supported the r@p€ of these women by the PK Army.

Given below is a documented account of a young Hindu bride (17 year old) who was gang r@p€d by Pak¡stani soldiers -

“Two went into the room that had been built for the bridal couple. The others stayed behind with the family, one of them covering them with his gun. They heard a barked order, and the bridegroom's voice protesting. Then there was silence until the bride screamed ... In a few minutes one of the soldiers came out, his uniform in disarray. He grinned to his companions. Another soldier took his place in the extra room. And so on, until all six had r@p€d the belle of the village. Then all six left, hurriedly. The father found his daughter lying on the string cot unconscious and bleeding. Her husband was crouched on the floor, kneeling over his vomit.” (Bina D’Costa, pp. 121-122)

Almost 200,000-400000 women were r@p€d, giving birth to thousands of war-babies. The Pak!stani soldiers and razakars also kept Bengali Hindu women as s€X-slav€s inside the PK Army camps.

(Image is of a teenage girl r@p€d by a PK soldier who left her war baby with the missionaries of charity for adoption) Author Bina D’Costa tracked down the Australian doctor, Geoffrey Davis, who was brought to Dhaka by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and the UN. Davis was tasked with performing late-term ab0rt¡Ons, and facilitating large scale international adoption of the war babies born to the r@p€d Hindu Bengali women.

D’Costa’s conversation with Dr. Davis was published in a Bangladeshi publication. There are details of women being t!ed to trees and gang r@p€d, breasts hack€d off, dumped in mass graves, and held in Pakistani r@p€ camps.

Dr. Geoffrey Davis said that the 200,000 to 400,000 r@p€ victims were an underestimation. The Pakistan army would “keep the infantry back and put artillery ahead and they would shell the hospitals and schools. And that caused absolute chaos in the town. And then the infantry would go in and begin to segregate the women. Apart from little children, all those were s€Xually matured would be segregated..And then the women would be put in the compound under guard and made available to the troops ... Some of the stories they told were appalling. Being r@p€d again and again and again. A lot of them died in those r@p€ camps. There was an air of disbelief about the whole thing. Nobody could credit that it really happened! But the evidence clearly showed that it did happen."

Hinduism in China.

Hinduism is still present in China, though it is now in minuscule numbers. However archaeological evidences suggest there was once a thriving presence of Hindus in different provinces of medieval China.

In photos is the Kaiyuan temple, in Quanzhou, a province of southeast China. According to the historians, there were more than a dozen Hindu temples, including two big shrines, in Quanzhou and the surrounding villages, which were built by a group of Tamil traders who lived here during the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) periods.

In 1271, a visiting Italian merchant recorded that the Indian traders "were recognised easily. These rich Indian men and women mainly live on vegetables, milk and rice, unlike the Chinese who eat meat and fish."

The Kaiyuan temple show many Shaiva motifs, similar to the ones seen on temples in Tamil Nadu of the same period (10th-14th centuries).

@LostTemple7


In the 1930s, many murtis of Narasimha were unearthed from Quanzhou during an archaeological excavation by Wu Wenliang. Among other Hindu artefacts, images depicting Puranic stories associated with Vishnu and Shiva were also found, showing a style similar to what is seen on temples in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh of the same period (10th -14th centuries).

Besides the Tamil traders, Indians entered China through the Kamrup route (Assam) via Burma into south Chinese province of Yunnan, as well as other southwestern regions of modern China. This is supported by by the discovery of Shiva-linga and yoni in Jianchuan caves, while many other Hindu artefacts were found during excavation of Dali temple in Yunnan.

Another route to enter China was through Kashmir, and it was this route that carried Buddhism to China.

FYI @ambedkariteIND
The first photo is that of the Hindu Devi Sri - Gajalakshmi. The two elephants that are bathing her are the two nidhis- Sankha and Padma. This iconography is clearly defined in the Vishnudharmottara (III. 82, 7 ; and 82, 10).
Sri is also found described in Sri-Sukta of the RV and in the Taitttiriya Upanishad.

The wrong identification of Sri-Gajalakshmi images as Maya, the mother of Buddha, was made by Alfred Charles Auguste Foucher (1865–1952), a French scholar, who had made another wrong claim- Buddha image had Greek origins.

Read Anand Coomaraswamy’s article on “Early Indian Iconography” for correct history and interpretation of Gajalakshmi. Two BCE era Gaja Lakshmi coins depicting the Hindu Devi Gajalakshmi

1. Kaushambi: Copper, 300 BCE, Gajalakshmi.

2. 1st c. BCE era Gajalakshmi coin, refer: J. Allan catalogue on coins.

3. Coin of Azilises showing Gaja Lakshmi standing on a lotus, 1st century BCE.

One of the earliest iconography , frequently found on coins, is that of Gaja-Laksmi, i.e., Laksmi standing (rarely seated), being bathed by two etephants . It appears on an uninscribed coin from Kausambi (3rd century B.C.E), coins of Visakha-deva, Sivadatta and probably also of Vayudeva of Ayodhya (1st century B.C.E), and uninscribed coins of Ujjayini (2nd-3rd century B.C.E).

Gajalakshmi was so popular that many Indo-Scythian satraps of northern India like Azilises, Rajuvula, and Sodasa had Her inscribed on their coins.

The Azad Hind Sarkar was the first 'swadeshi' government of India. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had formed this government and taken oath as the Prime Minister on 21st October, 1943. This makes him the first PM of India.

The Azad Hind government was not a token government. This provisional government was recognised by Japan, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Burma, Thailand, Philippines, Manchuria, and the Republic of China (under Wang Jingwei), while a note of congratulations was sent by Eamon de Valera (the then PM of Ireland).

The Azad Hind Sarkar had presented policies-opinions on several important matters pertaining to Indian life. It also had its own postal stamps, bank, civil code, court, currency, territory (Andaman Nicobar islands), and intelligence service. Developing all these things in a short time frame, with limited resources, and with the British still in control was no mean feat.

The Azad Hind government started working from Singapore. It had 11 ministers and 8 representatives from the INA. This government was formed with the objective of freeing India from British rule, and it was necessary to bring together all political and military resources under one government for that purpose. The Azad Hind government also allowed Netaji to hold talks with various countries, while helping in mobilising NRIs to join and support the war of independence.

FYI @INCIndia not accepting this basic truth, the history that had actually happened, is being a perfect British slave. Of course, it suits you that way. One must not forget that Allan Octavian Hume, a former British civil servant, was one of the founding members of the Indian National Congress.

|| 31st January- the 45th anniversary of the forgotten mass*cre of Dal¡t Refugees in WB under CPI (M)- Left rule ||

On 31st January in 1979, the Marichjhanpi mass*cre took place, when the police under CPI (M) led communist government Ki!!ed Dal¡t Namashudra refugees living in Marichjhanpi island in the Sunderbans.

The namashudra refugees from East Pakistan had fled the Islam!c persecution, & settled in Dandakaranya & other parts of India, both after 1947 and 1971. During early 70s, the communists had spoken largely in favour of these refugees.

1/n 🧵.. Hearing the supportive statements by the communist leaders, in early 1978, the Da!it Bengali H¡ndu refugees started moving out from Dandakarnya and settled in the islands of Sunderbans, the main centre being at Marichjhanpi. By June 1978, about 30,000 refugees had settled in Marichjhanpi and started various livelihoods, becoming self reliant.

However by then, having used the sympathy wave for the refugees to win elections in WB, the policy of the communists towards the Dal¡t refugees changed, and they took a complete U turn.

|| Hinduism in Armenia and how Christianity destroyed it ||

India and Armenia have recorded historical relations dating back to 149 BCE, which included Hindu settlements in Armenia. This region back then was a part of Turkey and Iran, and two princes from India (Kannauj) had travelled there carrying with them a group of people who were Krishna worshippers, and with the Armenian king’s help they established a city named Veeshap or Odz (a reference to their Indian Takshak ruling house : Takshaka means Naga King, & Odz also meaning snake).

The descendants of the two princes later erected two temples, which held two brass murtis, 5 and 7 metres high, of a god named Kissaneh (Krishna), as recorded by the Syrian historian Zenob Glak in his “History of Taron” written in 4th c. CE.

Under the pagan Armenian government the Hindu colony flourished for a considerable time in Armenia. It was a fairly large one comprising over 15,000 members. The Hindu-Indians in a short period of time built twenty towns, and in each of them they erected their temples. Some of these towns, mentioned by Zenob, retained their names and stood till the middle of the 19th century. Until early 20th century one of the villages in Taron was called Hindkastan. The names Hindubek, Hindu, Hindukhanum, Hindumelik were often used by the Armenians of Taron.

However, things changed when Christianity was brought to Armenia, the religion which was imposed by fire and sword. As per Zenob, the two temples were destroyed in 301 CE by St. Gregory, the Iluminator, after killing more than 1000 resisting Hindus and priests. The ones that survived were forcibly baptized. The followers of Christianity demolished all other heathen temples and erected churches on their site.

On the site of the two Hindu temples in the town of Veeshap or Odz, St. Gregory built a Christian monastery in 301 CE where he placed relics of St. John the Baptist and Athanagineh the Martyr. This edifice still exists and is known as St. Karapet of Moosh (now in Turkey, near Lake Van). It is noteworthy to mention that almost till the end of the 19th century, not far from this monastery there was a settlement, which used to be called Odz.

With brutal Christian impositions, the Hindu colony that had peacefully existed in Armenia for more than 450 years, came to an end.

A forgotten freedom fighter- Bagha Jatin.

After retirement Sir Charles Tegart, an Irish police officer who served in British India as the 12th Police Commissioner of Calcutta from 1923–1931, wrote “if this revolutionary was born in England instead of India his statue would have been placed at the Trafalgar Square beside Nelson.”

Who was this revolutionary that Tegart had praised despite being from the enemy camp?

In 1905, to break down the Bengal nationalist movement Lord Curzon adopted the divide and rule policy of breaking Bengal. Bengal youth revolted against it and under Rishi Aurobindo formed a group named Jugantar, which soon spread across India with many branches sprouting at many places. At its head was a young 20 year old man named Jatindranath Mukherjee (better known as Jatin). The slogan at that time was “amra morbo, jogot jagbe”. Translated it means- we will die, world will wake up.”

It was the start of a new era in Indian freedom movement known as Agniyug or the era of fire. At various places these young revolutionaries started bomb making factories, and to inspire other young men, attacks were made on the British high officials. At this time Aurobindo along with Jatin was taken into police custody for involvement in the Alipore bomb case. After spending 11 months in jail, Jatin realised such small incidents will not bring freedom. What was required was a pan India revolution on the lines of the 1857 mutiny.

In 1912 when the German prince Wilhelm came for a visit to India Jatin met him, as an enemy’s enemy, and explained why the revolutionaries needed arms and other assistance against the British.
