How are prices determined? While I slept, Claude made me "History of economic thought since Aristotle." I asked it to use my favourite textbook (Blaug, Economic Theory in retrospect). The result will astonish of you. Even top economists here will learn something, I promise.

Very happy to know that the International Airport in my hometown WARANGAL, is finally becoming a reality. ❤️

My suggestions for the name would be: Rudrama International Airport (RIA), Kakatiya International Airport (KIA).

It would be truly meaningful to give this airport a name that reflects the glorious legacy and cultural spirit of WARANGAL. 🔥

Thank you, Shri Revanth Reddy Garu, Hon’ble Chief Minister, for making this a reality. 🙏

My word. my mind has just shifted in real time.

Dear Mr Javed Akhtar. Alhamdulillah. The quote is from Maulana Azad's Calcutta Speech. The speech was published in Khutbat-e-Azad. Here is the link: https://t.co/yXkvYTTW1j

The Maulana is exhorting the Indian Muslims to unite with Muslims around the world and save the Caliphate. He begins by stating that all relationships in the world can break down, father can turn against son, brother against brother, mother can shun her child but the relationship of a Muslim with a Muslim can never be severed.

The Maulana then continues: if even a grain of the soul of Islam is still alive in its followers, then if a thorn enters the foot of a Turk on the field of battle, I swear by Allah that no Muslim of Hindustan is a Muslim until he feels that prick in his own heart. For the Millat of Islam is one body, and Muslims, wherever they are, are its limbs. If a finger of the hand is cut, the rest of the body cannot remain at peace until it has felt the blow. This is not rhetoric. It is the plain meaning of the well-known hadith which Imam Ahmad related: the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said that the likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy and compassion is that of one body: when one limb complains, the whole body responds with sleeplessness and fever. And there is the other hadith, related by Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari: The believer to the believer is like a building; each part supports the other. This is the first and last distinguishing mark of the people of Islam, to which the Qur’an itself has pointed.

Then, to reinforce Muslim unity, Maulana Azad provides his commentary after quoting the Quranic verse 48: 29.

The Messenger of Allah and those with him are severe against the Kafirs, merciful among themselves.

Whatever hardness they have is for falsehood and unbelief; whatever love and tenderness they have is for truth, sincerity, Islam and Tawhid. So be extremely hard against disbelievers but extremely sympathetic and kind among ourselves; take heed, then, and do not pass over this as if you had not heard it.

P.S. This is the second time I am enlightening you on your heroes and their lifelong sociopolitical stances. The first time was when you refused to believe that books were banned, editors sacked, films blocked, and Majrooh jailed, under Nehru's rule. Please don't ask me about Gandhi next - the Mahatma, not Rahul, though both are probably your heroes. Cheers, WDTP

Sam Dalrymple is upset that "..the world of Hyderabad state has been so thoroughly erased from popular imagination that its difficult to imagine the Indian state of Telangana being considered the epicentre of the Islamic world.."

Why should I keep that memory and celebrate it by recollecting it every now and then bro?

What is the upside in this for me as a Hindu?

In the same article he says..

"In time, Hyderabad came to be regarded as ‘the most prominent Muslim city outside of the Holy Land’, its name uttered in the same breath as Mecca and Jerusalem"

Why should I cheer for this as a Hindu? I have no positive association with Mecca or Jerusalem.

All this while chinna Dalrymple gaaru is simping for a book ('Indian Caliphate' written by some Imran Mulla) in flowery prose.

He concludes by saying..

"Indian Caliphate re-establishes India’s place at the centre of global Islam in the interwar years, when the poet Muhammad Iqbal described India as “the greatest Muslim country in the world.”
(For the uninitiated - Yes the same 'Saare Jahan Se Accha' guy).

Why should I get all sentimental about all this as a Hindu?

I understand there are uber secular Hindus who love reading such and express joy on the glorious days of syncreticism and diversity and the warmth of being under the rule of a benevolent Indian Caliphate (or Mughals for that matter!)

Am not among those Hindus.

So kindly excuse. Not interested in this gloating over these so called cultural memories.

Also what an abomination to start the article with Kailasanatha temple in Ellora and wonder why visitors don't go to burial place of the last Caliph of Islam which is closeby.

Isn't it self explanatory?

Yes, I visited the Kailasanatha temple more than once. Never went to this burial place. Not going there next time as well. Even if I do am not going to feel super awesome about that visit.

Thanks, but no thanks!

Crazy minds.

But I know there are enough Hindus who simp for such content. So there is a market for this teary eyed trash.

One of the most vocal US lawmakers in spreading anti-H1B hysteria over the last several months now wants to keep the predatory proselytization spigot flowing. Not hard to connect the dots and figure out that some Indian-origin Xtians have been in his ear to stick it to Hindus
