I wonder whether the concerned parties have taken cognisance of art historical evidence from the 17th/18th c in the @NMnewdelhi which clearly show Gyanvapi as a shiv mandir within the Kashi Vishvnath complex. Accession number of the work is attached.

Ishtur Phakda is celebrated for his bravery and laid down his life at Karla when struck by a cannon ball from Bhivrao Panse’s artillery…

Now new facets of this man will emerge in my next book…

It was not for nothing that the Marathas called him Phakda~ the brave one!

This was at Ishtur Phakda’s original cenotaph a few years ago.

Legends of Irfan Habib.
Four historians came to represent the Babri masjid action committee before the government in January 1991. They were given the VHP evidence. These historians said they had not see every piece of evidence and wanted six weeks to study the evidence. Two of them RS Sharma and Suraj Bhan went to Ayodhya to visit the site. They went to Banaras Hindu university to study the archaeological evidence gathered by prof. AK Narain in 1970 excavation. Habib was then the chairperson of Indian Council of Historical Research. He got the ICHR to finance their so-called study tours. So Habib made tax payers’ money to finance their so-called study Muslim claim.
Read many such legends in my book India’s Rogue Historians.

@WORLDMUSICAWARD @YG_GlobalVIP @IBGDRGN @FANPLUS1DOTCOM I waited ten years for this. I wish I had gone to more of their MADE tour in 2015. Moral of the story is to do things whenever opportunity presents. Otherwise, you may have to wait years for another chance.

Over 5,000 years ago, the people of the Indus-Saraswati Civilisation developed extensive methods of cultivation and processing cotton. Archaeological evidence from Mehrgarh, Mohenjo-daro, Lothal, and Rakhigarhi including charred seeds, delicate woven threads, and production tools highlights a specialized, region-wide textile economy.

This ancient expertise continues unbroken in India’s rich handloom traditions from Khadi and regional weaves to the timeless beauty of cotton sarees and fabrics used across the country every day. The thread of innovation and craftsmanship from the Indus-Saraswati Civilisation remains woven into the very fabric of Bharat’s living heritage.

राष्ट्र की स्वतंत्रता हेतु कठोरतम अमानवीय यातनाएं सहकर अपना जीवन मातृभूमि के चरणों में अर्पित करने वाले माँ भारती के अमर सपूत, महान स्वतंत्रता सेनानी ‘स्वातंत्र्यवीर’ विनायक दामोदर सावरकर की जयंती पर सादर नमन।

उनकी क्रांतिकारी चेतना और संघर्षपूर्ण जीवन हमें सदैव राष्ट्रहित में समर्पण, साहस और अटूट संकल्प का अमूल्य संदेश देता रहेगा।

Based purely on scientific evidence, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has confirmed that a magnificent temple once stood where a mosque does now at Bhojshala.

Not just 4 or 40 or 40,000 - every demolished temple must be legally reclaimed. We owe this to our civilisation. My views:

A tribute to the courageous BJP Karyakartas!

Even in the midst of celebrations at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata today on the formation of the first ever BJP Government in West Bengal, we remembered all those BJP Karyakartas who laid down their lives in the service of an ideal greater than themselves.

Their sacrifice is etched forever in the journey of the Party. Their courage will remain a source of strength for all of us.

Deeply humbled to bow in sacred veneration of the Holy Relics of Tathagata Buddha at Jivetsal, Leh.
The arrival of the revered Piprahwa relics in Ladakh is a blessing that transcends time, geography & borders, carrying the living presence of the Tathagata and his eternal message of compassion, wisdom & peace.

Witnessing the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, Varanasi. 🔥

Thousands gathered — fire, flowers, chanting, the sacred river.

Standing here, I feel what connects us across the Himalayas: two of the world's oldest civilizations, still alive and still burning bright.🇨🇳🤝🇮🇳

For the first time, an official stand of @narendramodi govt in Supreme Court - “Govt does not want to control temples at all”.

And for the first time, the Supreme Court has directly been told that it is not competent to decide on matters of belief and practices of religious denominations and should restrict itself to matters of constitution. Even the temple entry bogey has been called out.

A day of celebration for us, who have campaigned vigorously for this since the past decade. The battle will not be over, however, until every Hindu temple is freed from control of govt, politicians and babus.
