[Nandini @NBDwrites]

I was fourteen, walking home from school in Paris with my French-American friend. Summer was around the corner and the heat was relentless.

‘You must be used to this heat,’ she said.

‘Not really,’ I replied. ‘We lived in the hills in India before we came to Paris.’

‘Hills? I didn’t know India had hills.’

‘We have the Himalayas,” I had replied. ‘The highest mountains in the world.’

She stopped dead.

‘You’ve got to be kidding! The highest mountains are in America.’

That expression of absolute certainty is etched into my memory even today.

Twenty years later, when I met her again in New York, I reminded her of that conversation. We couldn’t stop ourselves from laughing.

So anyway that afternoon we went home, and I opened my Philips Atlas and showed her the Himalayas.

‘You know,’ she said thoughtfully, ‘ I’d always wondered about that weird name. I just assumed it was some Native American name.’

A few weeks later, in geography class, while studying the Alps, our teacher announced they were the highest mountains in the world.

My newly enlightened friend proudly corrected her.

‘Actually, the Himalayas are.’

The teacher shot me a look that instantly identified the culprit behind this inconvenient fact.

Then, without missing a beat, she recovered.
‘Yes… but the Himalayas are the newest highest mountains. The Alps were the oldest highest mountains.’

Case closed.

At fourteen, I learnt one of life’s great lessons: The West doesn’t just write history, geography, science. It often decides it.

If something is ancient, extraordinary or foundational, somehow it must have originated in Europe or at the very least be explained through a European lens.

The Rig Veda became “Aryan.” A Middle Eastern Jew named Jesus acquired blond hair and blue eyes.
Even Panini, at one point, seemed to belong to everyone except India.

Now, apparently, Panini is Pakistani.

Progress, I suppose.
From ‘ that’s impossible’ to ‘it was ours all along.’

The script changes. The narrator doesn’t.

Why investments started moving out of Bengal? -a true story that many do not know!

Such must be the passion and drive of our fore fathers who protected the land from invading muslims

[Siddharth's Echelon @SiddharthKG7]

He is a dedicated worker of BJP.
He never changed his party.
He went to J&K with Shri Shyama Prasad ji and his leader lost his life there.

Those eyes saw division of Bengal. Those ears heard news of Netaji’s plane crash.

He saw Congress Govt there in his state. Then he saw Naxalism. He saw Communist takeover of Bengal & one of the longest rule of Communists anywhere in world. He saw Emergency.

He saw his land getting deindustrialised and his Kolkata losing on development bit by bit. He saw TMC rule. He saw increasing Bangladeshis in his countryside.

Cannot even imagine what all he saw in his entire life. Ramjanambhoomi Movement, BJP’s ascendancy, Modi’s rise, Modi’s PM oath, and now finally, BJP Govt in his own state at the age of 98.

Such a fine moment that India’s PM hugged you in gratitude to have faith in an ideology for so so long under all adversities.

Maybe we will never understand what all he is feeling inside him. There must be hundreds of his friends who could not see this day and how he must be remembering them all on this day. ♥️

Once the Trinamool Congress is removed from power in West Bengal, one of the first orders of business must be the constitution of a Commission of Inquiry to examine the conduct of police officers and other law enforcement personnel who perpetrated atrocities against ordinary citizens and political opponents alike.

"It is incredible how much mass slaughter one can get away with when you have the protective cover of the intellectual class."

This is the most important line about Bengal from another post by @IndiaSpeaksPR. As @jsaideepak documents below, after the 2021 election, BJP voters and even some CPM voters were murdered or raped, and the "intellectual media" looked the other way because they wanted to "save" Bengal from a party they disliked. That was it.

Bengal was a heroic win for the BJP, paid for with blood. I cannot imagine the sacrifices made.

My salute to the brave warriors who fought hard to get here🙏

@readswithravi Churchill to Amery: 'I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.' On 1943 Bengal Famine (millions dead): Indians 'breeding like rabbits,' aid js pointless. Amery's diaries expose his dehumanizing views on Indians

"Boy throwing balloon water on others." 😡

"A person narrowly escaped an accident." 🚨

A boy sitting in a car in Delhi was throwing water balloons at people on BIKES. When a man objected, his mother ignored him while smiling. Poor upbringing. Police must act.
