This isn't Shiva. It's more likely adapted from proto-Elamite iconography, showing an Eurasian deity "lord of animals."

Indian history is amazing, wonderful, and fantastic -- It's well worth getting it right.

No serious historian would deny that Akbar was an empire builder or that his policies were shaped by political calculations. Yet the same may be said of virtually every successful ruler in history.

@HardeepSPuri Never thought that you too were an idiot? How can a jocular comment, whether in bad taste or good, be taken as ‘slur on Sikh community’?

@RituRathaur Well perhaps the expectations of this non-professor fraud were not met!

Statement of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in New Delhi

On the occasion of the Iranian nation's victory in the face of military aggression by the Zionist regime and the United States, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in New Delhi extends its heartfelt gratitude to all noble and freedom-loving people of India — including the esteemed citizens, political parties, honorable members of Parliament, non-governmental organizations, religious and spiritual leaders, university professors, members of the media, social activists, and all individuals and institutions who, in recent days and in various forms, stood firmly and vocally with the great nation of Iran.

The messages of solidarity, moral support, public statements, and active participation in peace-oriented gatherings and initiatives, during a time when the Iranian people were under brutal military assault by the occupying Zionist regime, have been a source of deep encouragement. These gestures clearly reflect the awakened conscience of nations and their commitment to justice and the principles of international law.

The steadfastness of the Iranian people in the face of this blatant aggression was not merely a defense of their homeland and national dignity, but a symbol of resistance against the grave violations of the United Nations Charter, humanitarian principles, and the foundational norms of international law. The solidarity of world nations with the people of Iran is not simply a political stance — it is an affirmation of the universal values of justice, legality, and global peace.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently emphasized the need to uphold the principles of international law and to resist expansionist and aggressive policies. We firmly believe that the unity and solidarity of nations serve as a powerful bulwark against war, violence, and injustice.

Once again, we express our sincere appreciation for the genuine and invaluable support shown by the people and institutions of the great nation of India. Undoubtedly, this solidarity — rooted in the longstanding cultural, civilizational, and human ties between our two nations — will further strengthen the cause of peace, stability, and global justice.

Jai Iran — Jai Hind

Here is an explosive account, unearthed by @churumuri, of how CIA was funding the Jansangh/RSS to destabilise the Congress govt.

https://t.co/reN20cPVMG

Explosive excerpts :

‘John Smith revealed the RSS’s “close ties with CIA” to overthrow the Congress government of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

Smith made two more key charges:

▪️One, that CIA had provided "large sums of money" for RSS's anti-cow slaughter rally held in 1966
▪️Two, the attempt to assassinate Congress president K. Kamaraj that day had been the work of RSS.

M.S. Golwalkar was the RSS chief at the time.’

I recently traveled just 300 kilometers and ended up paying ₹500 in toll charges—that’s an outrageous ₹1.5 per kilometer!

This comes on top of hefty Income Tax, GST, taxes on petrol, and countless others.

It feels like nothing short of daylight robbery by the central government. How much more will you squeeze out of us in the name of highway maintenance?

After paying nearly ₹5 lakh in income tax this year, plus GST on petrol, these exorbitant tolls amount to nothing but #TaxTerrorism / #TaxLoot .
