This is the condition of the Punjab mansion of Hindu businessman Todar Mal who paid 7,800 gold coins and bought 4 yards of land from the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to bury the bodies of the 2 young sons and mother of Guru Gobind Singh on December 13, 1705.
The Mughal faujdar Wazir Khan had ordered the two young children be bricked alive as they refused to accept Islam. When they died, their grandmother died of shock
The Mughals did not want to allow the cremation to humiliate the martyrs. They stipulated that the buyer can take only as much space as he could cover with give gold coins for the land. All the Sikh chiefs just stood helplessly
That's when Todar Mal produced the coins and bought the piece of land, and cremated the three bodies.
This is biggest irony of life, India is only country where its true heritage is hidden from next generation and falsehood Is taught.
@AirIndiaX, today one of your pilots, Capt. Virender Sejwal, assaulted me physically at T1, Delhi Airport.
Here are the facts of the matter,:
๐ธ Me & my family were guided to use the security check that the staff uses (also the PRM check), because we had a 4 month old baby in a stroller.
๐ธ The staff was cutting the queue ahead of me. On calling them out, Capt. Virender, who himself was doing the same thing, asked me if I was anpadh (uneducated), and couldn't read the signs that said this entry was for staff.
๐ธ A verbal scuffle broke out.
๐ธ Not able to excercise restraint, the AIX pilot proceeded to physically assault me, leaving me bloody. The blood in the photograph (first comment) on his shirt is also mine.
Here are my issues with the whole thing:
๐น My holiday is ruined. The first thing I have done here is see a doctor.
๐น My 7 year old daughter, who saw her father get assaulted brutally, is still traumatized & scared.
๐น I have no clue how @DGCAIndia & @AirIndiaX can allow such pilots to fly. If they can't keep their cool in a scuffle, can they be trusted with the lives of hundreds of people in the sky?
๐น How can @DelhiAirport get away with such mismanagement, combining staff entry with passengers carrying infants, creating chaos at a sensitive security area? I thought Airports were safe places!
๐น I was forced to write a letter stating that I will not pursue this matter further ... It was either write that letter, or miss my flight and throw the 1.2 lakhs holiday bookings down the drain. @DelhiPolice, why can't I file a complaint after coming back? Must I sacrifice my money too, to seek justice? Will the CCTV footage disappear in the 2 days till I make it back to Delhi?
To my friends & well wishers, I am pretty shaken, but nothing permanent. Can't say the same about my daughter though. ๐ข
28 year old guy. 29 days. 490 km.
One man walked the MumbaiโGoa highway, documenting every pothole, every failure, every danger and submitted a report to Nitin Gadkari.
11 years in power. Endless speeches. Zero accountability on this highway. Nothing will change.
Respect to the citizen. Shame on the Minister.

There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.
The great Dombivli Palava flyover. Took 6 years and โน250 crores to build. This is its state within two months of inauguration.
There canโt be a better example of blatant corruption, incompetence, or daylight robbery. Everyone involved deserves to be behind bars, but thenโฆ

A gold mangalsutra is purchased by an elderly couple on a pilgrimage to Pandharpur from a jewelry store.
Unaware of the cost, the wife naively offers her meager savings.
"Please keep your money. Just bless me, and may Lord Pandurang bless us all," the shopkeeper replied
My son has been pulled from all teachings of Islam, and they are teaching it EVERY week.
He takes his bible and reads that instead in a separate room!
Parents MUST resist this and speak out! I am interested in any other parents in the same position
#WATCH | Washington, DC | On India-Pakistan conflict, former Pentagon official and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Michael Rubin, says, "...Pakistan went running to try to achieve a ceasefire like a scared dog with its tail between its legs. There is absolutely no spin that the Pakistani military can put on what occurred to shield themselves from the full reality of the fact that they not only lost, but they lost very, very badly. Clearly, there's a problem within the Pakistani military, both because it's a cancer on Pakistani society and because as a military, it's incompetent. Is Asim Munir going to keep his job?... Basically, Pakistan needs to clean house, but it's an open question whether they are too far gone to do that..."
