The Poisonous Harvest of Englandโs India Raj
Lord Curzon had sucked Maharajah Sir Madho Singh of Jaipur of several lakhs for his pet scheme, the Victoria Memorial, in Calcutta. And after he returned to England, wrote a personal letter to Sir Madho Singh asking another donation, when the Maharaja had been dead for two years!

In the pre-Independence period, there was the tyranny of the wealthy classes in some regions. But we must grasp its underlying reality. These wealthy folks said, โYou must do what I say.โ However, none of them said, โYou must eat less than I do.โ

There's a little known side to this. After Titan started, it systematically poached & bribed mid - to - high level designers in HMT to filch watch designs, etc and made record profits. It made headlines in the late 1980s - early 1990s. Several HMT officials were arrested.

Xerxes Desai had first proposed the idea of making watches in 1970s but the company Titan couldnโt start operations before 1986. Thatโs all you need to know about the socialist hellhole that India was on the watch of Congress.

My respected friend Sri @VikasSaraswat brought an important topic to my attention: the explosion of semi-literate "food influencers" spreading lies about the "Indonesian" origins of Idli. In reality, Idli has its origins in the Vedic Yajna. Here's why.

"One can reel out the names of any number of such giants but these are biographies that should be written in pages of gold. And it is this iridescent legacy that Mohandas Gandhi destroyed in ways that weโre yet to fully understandโฆnotwithstanding the fact that he respected them." - writes @dharmadispatch
How Mohandas Gandhi crushed the Vindhyan Kshatra of Hindus by misleading the Freedom Struggle. This painful story is largely unknown because it is buried in details. ๐ก๐

From Sindh to Devagiri @dharmadispatch reconstructs the 500-year saga of Islamic invasions with the rigor of a scholar and the pen of a storyteller.
Books 1 & 2 of Invaders and Infidels are an essential read for anyone serious about Indian history.

Aurangzeb's gold-standard bigotry has shielded the fanaticism of his vile brothers. Most notable is Shuja who pitilessly ravaged Hindu temples in sacred Sitakund, an inseparable Kshetra of Sitayana. Here's what Shuja actually did:

The towering seven-storey Gopuram that greets you in the Belur Chennakesava Temple is not the original Gopuram. It is the pious restoration done by Gunda Dandanatha. ๐๏ธ๐ช

The restoration of the Belur Chennakeshava Temple in 1397 is an exemplary demonstration of where the true strength of the Hindu community lies โ in uncompromising unity driven by a spiritual purpose sans any anticipation of reward.

There is a special place in Naraka for all those morons who spoil the tranquility of secluded natural havens and Raurava Naraka for compulsive show offs who ruin the sanctity of unknown temples by popularising them on social media. Quietude is a gift to be contemplated.
