Since yesterday was Kashmiri Hindu Genocide Day ~
remembering Smt. Teja Dhar from Budhghair, Alikadal in Srinagar.

Assassinated: 30th June 1990.
🧵 1/3

Smt. Teja Dhar, a resident of Budhghair in Srinagar, was brutally shot inside her own home on the evening of 30th June 1990, in one of the early targeted civilian killings of Kashmiri Pandits, during the initial phase of Islamic violence in the Valley.

That evening, coinciding with the religious observance of Haar Ashtami, the family had finished their meal. Her husband, Shri Roop Krishen Dhar, a Labour Officer by profession, stepped out for a short stroll and went to a friend’s house nearby. At home were Smt. Teja Dhar and an elderly neighbour.

Around 7:30- 8:00 PM, armed Islamic terrorists arrived at the house and began shouting for her husband, demanding that he come out. Smt. Teja Dhar did not open the door and told them that she was alone and that they could meet her husband the next day. The militants forcibly broke open the gate and entered the house, conducting a violent search and ransacking the premises.

When they failed to find her husband, they beat the elderly neighbour, slapping him repeatedly. Smt. Teja Dhar protested, calling out in distress. As the militants moved back toward the main doorway, one of them, standing at close range, fired three bullets at her. The bullets struck her in the abdomen, causing severe internal bleeding. After that, militants surrounded the mohalla, trying to find her husband, in case he was attempting to return home.

Hearing this, her husband remained at his friend’s house, unaware of what exactly happened inside his house. Only after the militants left the area around 10 PM was he able to return. On reaching home and finding his wife critically injured, he rushed to seek medical help. However, he was first told that since it was a “police case,” a formal report was required before treatment could proceed. He went to the Maharajgunj Police Station to lodge an FIR, and only then could an ambulance be arranged to take her to the hospital.

By the time Teja Dhar was taken to the State Hospital, it was near midnight. She had already lost a large amount of blood. Instead of being immediately taken into surgery, she remained unattended for a long period, during which hospital staff kept questioning her about the incident. Despite her critical injuries, there was further delay on the grounds of non-availability of blood and other logistical issues. She was eventually moved to the operation theatre, but by then her condition had deteriorated severely.

Throughout the night, she struggled for life. She repeatedly expressed the wish to see her daughter, who had earlier been sent to Jammu for safety, as many families were sending young girls out of the Kashmir Valley due to fear of Jihadi kidnappings and targeted attacks on Hindu girls. So her wish to see her daughter could not be fulfilled.

Smt. Teja Dhar succumbed to her injuries at around 8:00 AM the next morning.

Due to the volatile situation and continuing threat, her last rites were performed in Srinagar itself with assistance from Army personnel. Her husband was later moved to temporary accommodation and after the immersion of ashes, he left for Jammu, where the rest of the displaced family had taken shelter. The child never saw her mother’s body.

How the Indian Wootz steel was renamed as Damascus steel, and how the ancient knowledge of making Wootz steel was destroyed by British industrial policies ~

1/3 🧵
Today, when we talk about modern steel, superalloys, or military-grade metals, not many are aware that the world’s most advanced steel was born in ancient India nearly 2300 years ago. This steel was called Wootz steel, which later was renamed in the Middle East as “Damascus steel.”

The astonishing truth is that even today, modern science has not been able to fully unravel the secrets of this steel.

📍 What is Wootz steel?

Wootz steel was a high-carbon crucible steel, produced by a unique method.

Evidence of this technology dates back to 3rd century BCE, in regions of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh in south India.

The distinctive features of this steel were ~
• Extremely sharp
• Nearly impossible to break
• A wavy, flowing pattern on swords (the “watered pattern”)
• The ability to retain its sharpness for a very long time

Because of these qualities, weapons made from Wootz steel were virtually unbeatable in battlefields. Modern metallurgy calls this technology as ‘controlled nanostructure formation,’
and ancient Indians did it without using modern thermometers or laboratories.

📍 From Wootz to Damascus ~ changing a name

Wootz steel was largely exported from India to the Middle-East.

In the Syrian region, the Indian Wootz steel was used to make swords, which was labelled by them as Damascus steel swords.

When European warriors encountered these swords during Crusades, they were terrified because the Wootz steel swords could easily shatter other swords, yet they themselves would not break. These swords, which shook Europe, became famously known as Damascus swords, while the Indian wootz steel that made the swords took a backseat.Image
Image
📍 Who discovered this steel?

Wootz steel was not the invention of a single individual. It was the result of collective knowledge of ancient Indian metallurgists, particularly artisans of south India.

These ancient artisans knew ~

•Which iron ore to use
•At what temperature it should be melted
•How to maintain the precise amount of carbon
•How slow cooling would create the internal microstructure

How the Islamic State of Pakistan treated a Buddhist actress from Bangladesh ~
🧵 1/3

13 March 1978, Lahore

In Gulberg, one of the city’s most upscale neighbourhoods, a famous actress returned home from a late night shoot. After freshening up, she sat down to eat dinner with her husband at around 1 am. Their only son, Roni, a minor, was sleeping in the adjacent room.

Suddenly, seven miscreants broke through the back lawn door and stormed inside. Before anyone could grasp what was happening, they tied the woman’s husband. Amid screams and chaos, Roni woke up and came out of his room; he was also tied up. Then, in front of her husband and son, the men gang-raped the woman repeatedly. After the brutal assault which lasted the whole night, the rapists finally left at dawn.

This was one of the most shocking gang-rape incidents in the entire Indian subcontinent at that time, and it took place on the so-called “holy” soil of Pakistan.

Who was that actress ?Image 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.

She changed her name and became known on screen as Shabnam. At that time it was hard to find another actress in the subcontinent who achieved such fame and respect. She acted in more than 160 films across Urdu and Bengali cinemas. She won the country’s Best Actress (Nigar Award) 13 times. Her on-screen pairing with Nadeem and Rahman became hugely popular in both Pakistans (East and West). She married, for love, renowned music director Robin Ghosh, a Christian by faith.

The horrific incident of the night of 13th March shattered the bright future of this immensely talented artist. After the assault, Jharna Basak survived in a state that was virtually half-dead. Her husband and child were left traumatized but they continued fighting for justice.

The main accused in the case was Farooq, nephew of the then Punjab Chief Secretary F.K. Bandial, along with his friends Wasim Yaqub Butt, Jamil Ahmed, Tahir Tanvir, Jamshed Akbar Sahi, Agha Aqeel Ahmed, and Mohammad Muzaffar; all from wealthy and influential families.

Under pressure from people connected to the Lahore film industry, an investigation began, and a case was initially filed under Section 412 of the Pakistan Penal Code, with trial held in a special military court. Five accused were sentenced to death, and one to ten years of imprisonment, while Mohammad Muzaffar was acquitted.

Relentless pressure was exerted on Shabnam and her family to pardon the accused. Eventually, Pakistan’s then President General Zia ul Haq commuted the death sentences of the five convicts. Under his intervention, the gang-rape charges were dropped and replaced with ordinary robbery charges, turning the entire judicial process into a joke.

These pillars were not built by Ashoka. The Ashokan era edicts were inscribed on pillars that had been sculpted much earlier than Ashoka, and they already had religious connotations. These were labelled as ‘Ashokan pillars’ arbitrarily, without proper understanding of history.

There is a line of thought by reputed scholars that these were stambhas in front of Hindu temples, much like the Garuda stambhas. This view was removed from public knowledge by later Marxists ‘historians’ for obvious reasons. A stambha with a lion on top would denote an offering for the Devi.

These pillars were a part of age old Hindu religious tradition of cosmological significance; the pillar symbolised the world's axis, the separation between earth and heaven. There are pillars, such as Garuda stambha, Nandi stambha, etc.

So these stambhas were venerated at one point of time in history ! It’s an ancient practice still continuing.Image
Image
Image
For those interested, do search for papers by John Irwin on pre-Mauryan pillars that pre-date Ashoka.

Among other eminent scholars, Jitendra Nath Banerjea, whose books and papers on Hindu iconography are well known, had opined that these pillars had religious connotations and likely belonged to temples, just like the stambhas we still see in front of many temples (Garuda stambha, dvaja stambha, nandi stambha, etc). Ashoka most likely had used these pillars to write his edicts knowing their religious importance and expecting that many people would read them.

I am giving the image of another academic paper that discuses this topic a bit. This paper is available on Google.Image

Since I was asked why Hadi’s sister spoke of ‘200 year war,’ -

Looking back at Titumir, the first Islamic terrorist of the Indian subcontinent, and his immense influence on BD Muslims ~
1/3 🧵 …

While Titumir remains unknown to most Indians, the name is of great reverence for Muslims in Bangladesh. Titumir was born in 1782 in 24 Parganas (West Bengal), and under his mother’s religious influence, became a Hafiz at a very young age. He had a chequered career, from being a farmer, to the leader of a dacait gang, to being a prized wrestler, to becoming the muscleman of a Hindu zamindar that finally landed him in the prison of the East India Company.

After he was released, in 1822-23 he went to Mecca for Hajj, where he met Syed Ahmad Barelvi, and under his influence he became a Wahabi Islamic preacher. Syed Barelvi was a direct disciple of Abdul Wahab, who had initiated a fundamentalist puritanical movement among Sunni Muslims. The chief aim of this movement was to remove all non-Shariati elements from the practices of Muslims and regain Islam's glorious past. Syed Ahmad believed that India had turned into ‘Dar-ul-Harb,’ or a land ruled by infidels under Hindu and EIC rule, and Indian Muslims had deviated from the path of true religion. The Muslims, therefore, needed to wage jihad against Kafir rulers, i e, the Hindus and EIC, and re-establish 'Dar-ul- Islam,’ in India. Soon Saiyad Ahmad asked Titumir to go back and work among the Muslim peasants in his local area.

After Titumir returned, he immediately set about on his Jihadi mission, and began a conflict with the Hindu Zamindar, Krishnadeva Rai of Purha, accusing him of bias against Muslims and for imposing illegal taxes on them. However, there are no historical records of such biased acts by the Zamindar.

Titumir had earlier worked as a lathial. Using his skills as a lathi fighter, TituMir created a Mujahid army that skilled in wielding lathis and other indigenous arms, to fight against the Hindu Zamindars, using the populist narrative of ‘social oppression.’

Soon Titumir acquired a RobinHood like status amongst the Muslims in Bengal. He started an Islamic Revivalist movement, aiming at turning Bengal into a pure Islamic state under Sharia laws.

Titumir had built an army comprising of 15000 Muslim men, and he built a fort made of bamboo near Barasat. He declared independence from the infidel Hindu zamindars and British- EIC, and with his army defeated their combined force.

Finally in 1831, a British force under Lt Col Stewart that consisted of 100 cavalrymen, 300 native infantry, and two cannons attacked Titumir’s ‘Bansher Kella’ (bamboo fort).

In this 1831 skirmish, Titumir died, which was later labelled by the Marxists and Muslim ‘historians’ as the ‘first war of independence,’ when in reality Titumir’s entire rebellion was a jihad against ‘Hindu’ zamindars and Christian EIC. His ‘movement’ was a part of the Wahabi Islamic Revivalist movement, and largely comprised of conversions through fear and force, and abductions of Hindu women who were forcibly married off to his mujahid men .

While Titumir didn’t last long, his jihad laid the foundation to the 1857 Mutiny, where Muslims took part in it to reclaim power and re-establish the Mughal Empire. For them independence from the EIC was not a ‘war of independence’ but a ‘jihad’ against non-believers : Hindus and Christians (EIC).
….Image 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.

With growing nationalism among Hindu Bengalis, the British felt it safer to shift their capital from Calcutta to Delhi. To weaken this freedom movement they decided to partition Bengal (1905), which was widely supported by the wealthy Muslims of Bengal. The zamindari system was mostly with the Hindus, and the Muslims greatly resented this. With partition they thought they could assume control, especially in east Bengal, which had Muslim majority.

Thus, Muslims led by Nawab Sallimullah of Dhaka welcomed the partition. To create a narrative they followed Titumir’s principles and portrayed the entire Hindu Zamindari system as an oppressive villainous entity, and the division was welcomed as a part of removing the burden of Hindu rule.

Thus, this 1905 partition gave the impetus to Muslim separatism and demands for a separate Muslim nation, and the plan for creating Pakistan took firm shape, because this was the first successful division based on Muslim majoritarianism. The British also helped in the growth of Muslim separatism by holding separate elections for Muslims and Hindus in 1909. This created a distinctive political entity based on religion for the subcontinent Muslims.

Since I am seeing some posts denying the Direct Action Day killings and calling the ‘Bengal Files’ a propaganda movie, here’s some real history lessons for these progeny of Suhrawardy -

📌Starting point of Direct Action Day by the Muslim League members : 16th August 1946.

[See Image 1]

4.30am - Stabbings started.

6.30 to 7 am - large numbers of ML members gathered at Maniktala area.

7am - Riots start at Maniktala Bazar. Point of aggression was from the Karbala Mosque.

📌Bengalis, Oriyas, Biharis, Marwaris all were mass slaughtered by the Muslim Mob.
See Images 2 and 3.

📌Names of two famous Bengali families, who lost their sons in the riots.

A) Sir Jadunath Sarkar's (eminent historian) Son was Murdered.

B) Bhim Nag Lost His Son - Bhim Chandra Nag Sweet Shop is famous.

[See image 4]

📌Quoting the Islamist Suhrawardy -

"Bloodshed and disorder are not necessary evil in themselves, if resorted to for a noble cause. Among Muslims today, no cause is dearer or nobler than Pakistan".

Ref: Suhrawardy, in an article in the Statesman, Calcutta, 5th August, 1946. Page 63, of the book (name given at the end).Image

📌 Interesting to note (first two images here) that the Communists were warned and protected beforehand, by their Muslim comrades.

Jyoti Basu was warned - "You may be attacked too. You better leave the place".

Read excerpts of what the Communist leaders wrote about the riots, in the first two Images here.

Yet Today these "Bengali Shariah Bolsheviks Chinese dalals” are denying the History of the Great Calcutta Killing, just to appear Secular !!

📌Check the count of the dead bodies disposed, in the third image.

Check the count of Hindu Vs Muslim.

Our freedom did not come from non-violence, or protest marches, or dharnas. It came because many young men and women decided to pick up arms and die while fighting the British.

One such name was 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘆𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗻.
1/4 🧵 …

Surya Sen, better known as Masterda, had brought together a number of revolutionary youths, which included names like Anant Singh, Ganesh Ghosh, and Lokenath Bal, and formed the Chittagong branch of the ‘Indian Republican Army’ or IRA in 1930. Their aim was an armed revolution against the British.

On 18th April 1930, 65 IRA members, led by Sen, destroyed the telephone and telegraph systems, breaking down the railway communication between Chittagong and the rest of Bengal. They main aim was to seize arms by capturing the police armoury, but after the capture they did not find the ammunition. However, before leaving, the revolutionaries hoisted the Indian flag outside the British police armoury, amidst shouts of ‘Bande Mataram.’

This attack famously known as the ‘Chittagong raid’ had major impact on the people of Bengal, and it fuelled the nationalist fire, with strong demands for immediate Independence.
Image 2/4
Realising that the British would come after them after the raid, the revolutionaries left Chittagong and shifted to the hilly areas. Surya Sen kept changing his identity to fool the British, and continued with his activities from the Jalalabad hills.

On 22nd April 1930, thousands of British troops surrounded the hills, and a fierce bloody fight took place, which led to the deaths of more than 80 British troops and 12 revolutionaries.

After that, Sen kept the group dispersed and spread in neighbouring villages, while continuing with the raids on British government properties and personnel.

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?
Image 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.
….Image 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 ]Image 📍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.Image 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.
Image 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!Image 📍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?

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."Image

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.Image

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.Image 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.’Image 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.Image

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.

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.
