@Rustum_0 In this hypothetical, there would be Civil wars one second after establishing "independent state", two second after the state formation, 95% of so called rajput states will go financially bankrupt, three second after establishing independent states, Pakistan will invade.

So Raja Gulabh Singh was a traitor for not serving an army which murdered his nephew Hira Singh, his son Sohan Singh & his cousin Labh Singh?

The Purbias are bad because they served the Company which employed them? Sikhs themselves served in great numbers during & after 1857.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh died in 1839.
He was succeeded by his son Kharak Singh who died in 1840, the latter's son Nau Nihal dying the same day.

In the years to follow, till 1845, intrigue at Lahore & an increasingly unruly army, resulted in constant armed strife & assassinations.

The Battle of Aliwal, 28th Jan, 1846 sapped much material strength from the Sikh forces. Having lost 67 cannons & 40 swivel guns, replenishment was necessary. The Lahore government turned to the Dogra Raja of Jammu, Gulab Singh for aid, whom so recently they had tried to destroy.

When Bajirao I won the Battle of Bhopal 1737, the Nizam who had forsaken it all at Delhi & ruled in the Deccan asked him

"Are you the Peshwa because you're a military genius or are you a military genius because you're the Peshwa?"

The Banaras Hindu University was the brainchild of Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya.

Recently people have become interested in the personages whose monetary contributions went towards making the University a reality. This is a thread to show how the money for BHU was raised :

@FURLENCO ongoing worst customer service experience, been trying to return furniture for months now, but the customer service either has been lying or just non-helpful. Any resolution would be appreciated.

By around 1857, the single largest element of the Bengal Army was its infantry, being 74 regular-native infantry regiments totaling around 86,000 souls. When discussing the 1857 Mutiny it is important to understand who these men were, beyond a mere number of paper.

Diff between an 'expert' and a 'researcher'.

Facts are sacred for the researcher, while experts rein on hollow words.

To get the sense of it, read today's debate on Sanatan Dharma by J Sai Deepak and @jaffrelotc in @IndianExpress!

Good article comparing China today with Japan in the late 1980s, but I think this understates the problem: "President Xi Jinping is ideologically opposed to increasing government support for households and consumers, which he derides as “welfarism.”"

@Sargon_of_Akkad @HHMaharajaSawai Even in the simple sense of efficient usage of wealth even that paltry sum of aid is being better used to send stuff to unexplored parts of the moon by the Indians, than throwing it at useless NHS.
