What historical fact sounds fake but is true?

U.S. sanctions bill backed by the White House could allow tariffs of up to 500% on countries that continue to buy Russian oil, putting India once again in the crosshairs of the U.S. and raising the threat of punitive levies on Indian exports. 👉Swipe #IndiaUS #TradePolicy

Got an idea. Let's just rename the Mughals only, as we say. Babar: Bhaskaravarman Humayun: Hemendrayavana Akbar: Amritakaalesvara Shahjahan: Sahajananda Aurangzeb: Audavarajan etc... The Mughals, ofc, can be the Mangalavamsa Solvitur simpliciter. Baat khatam. #MughalGardens

Always been curious about the Indian English word "almirah" (=wardrobe). I had simplistically assumed that it had some Arabic root (bc of the "al-" at the beginning). But no! It's from Hindi "almari", a corruption of the Portuguese "armario", derived from the Latin "armarium." /1
