@Im_Ritikaa Netaji 'Father of the Nation',
Tagore 'Mahatma'
At one call the entire nation stood behind him,
Einstein, Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr. Ho Chi Minh called their idol,
At whose Samadhi world leaders bow their heads
That Mahatma never claimed freedom came from charkha alone
@ripper_dhruvaa he said it in BBC 1955
it was ideological, not hate:
After Poona Pact 1932, he called Gandhi 'Mahatma' & thanked for 148 seats.
on Gandhi's death he said "My father has died."
He included Article 40 only to respect him
Hope it helps you to see history in right perspective
@Imdead108_ybc Savarkar:
1. Wrote 6 mercy petitions to British
2. Took Rs 60 pension from British
3. Opposed Quit India Movement
4. Told youth to join British Army
Godse:
Never fought British, but killed an unarmed 78-yr-old fasting for unity.
Hate first eats the brain that shelters it.

He proved:
You can fight hate without becoming hate.
You can oppose power without loving power.
You can be soft and still be unbreakable
The world tried to bury Gandhi. It ended up living in his shadow.
ये देश गांधी का है, और अंतत सारण भी गांधी का ही लेना पड़ेगा।

@mannan_pathan@Paul_Koshy From Atharva Veda's 'Dakini' to Santhal trials in 1792 to 2026
Target is always the widow, the single, the property-owning woman
We worship women as Goddesses and brand them as Dayans in the same breath.
Both are tools to control women in the name of religion.That's patriarchy
Upanishads:
In Shvetashvatara Upanishad [400-200 BCE],for the first time Rudra-Shiva is called the Supreme God.
• Puranas: Full story of Shiva - Kailash, Ganga, Trishul, Damru, family, Lingam worship -comes only in Shiva Purana, Linga Purana around 500-1000 CE.
Yajurveda [1200-1000 BCE]
People start calling Rudra as "Shiva Rudra" - Means "The auspicious form of Rudra". To calm his anger.Namah Shivaya first appears here.
• Atharvaveda:
Rudra becomes more important, now protector of animals - Pashupati.
The moon hides behind the clouds,
yet the world below still glows.
A quiet night, soft light,
and the sky watching in silence.

বৈদিক সাহিত্যকে ৪ ভাগে ভাগ করা হয়:
১) বেদ: ঋক, সাম, যজু, অথর্ব।
২) ব্রাহ্মণ: এগুলো গদ্যের আকারে লেখা। বেদে যে যজ্ঞের কথা বলা আছে, তার নিয়ম
৩) আরণ্যক: এগুলো দর্শনমূলক লেখা। যারা বনে জঙ্গলে গিয়ে তপস্যা করতো, তাদের
৪) উপনিষদ: গভীর দর্শন। আত্মা কী, ব্রহ্ম কী, মোক্বা মুক্তি
