📍 Who discovered this steel?
Born in 1942 in Dhaka into a Bengali Buddhist family, the actress’s name was Jharna Basak. Her father, Nani Basak, was a well-known football referee of that era. Her elder brother was associated with Dhaka Radio, and using his connections, Jharna entered the world of acting. Her career began in 1968 with the film Samudra. With the support of the legendary Pakistani actor Waheed Murad, she soon entered the Lahore film industry. From there on, there was no looking back for her.

For those interested, do search for papers by John Irwin on pre-Mauryan pillars that pre-date Ashoka.
Understanding that 1857 was primarily a Muslim uprising, the British soon moved towards keeping Hindus as their staff. This created a middle class Hindu Bengali segment, who were given British education through which they learnt the modern principles of Democracy and Freedom. This later led to rise of nationalist movement in Bengal led by Hindu Bengalis.

📍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.
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.

📍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.

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'

There are two more narratives that were started by him to show Hindu -Indian civilisation as an inferior one -
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.


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.
