"I was slut-shammed by my ex-boyfriend just before entering the stage for promotion of my film 'Parada' and I felt ashamed to be an actress and ashamed to have PERIODS being a WOMAN!"
Anupama shares more deep on the traumatic experiences of her past relationship ๐ฐ
Christians have been in India since St. Thomas the Apostle traveled to the Malabar Coast just decades after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ย
But despite this long Christian history, Indiaโs Parliament is considering amending Foreign Contribution Regulation Amendment (FCRA) rules to permit government takeovers of churches and religious charities.

This is a clear attack against Christians. If this bill proceeds in this way, it would be a point of major concern in our bilateral relationship with India.

If in Putin's Russia people can jump from windows or collapse after eating food, what stops it from happening in India? Learn something from others.
Mesopotamia was never the cradle of civilisation. India was.
I spent forty years in international shipping, not academia. When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I had no orthodoxy to defend. I followed the evidence, and it kept arriving in the same place: the Indian subcontinent.
Nineteenth century archaeologists dug in Mesopotamia because the climate preserved artefacts, the biblical sources pointed them there, and the Ottomans allowed the excavations. That is the entire basis for the myth of Mesopotamia as "the cradle of civilisation."
Nobody applied the same rigour to India. Mohenjo-daro was not discovered until 1922. By then the narrative had already hardened.
What was actually there was the largest civilisation of the ancient world. Three hundred cities. Fifty thousand people in each, by 2600 BC. Two thirds of them stood on the banks of the Sarasvati, the central and greatest of the seven rivers described in the Rig Veda, flowing down from the Himalayas before the river vanished entirely by 1900 BC. The Vedic kings claimed territory stretching "sea to sea," from Afghanistan to Maharashtra, some 1.5 million square miles, against Egypt's 13,000. A dock at Lothal built to handle thirty ships of sixty tons, unmatched in Europe for four thousand years. When it was first excavated, it was recorded as a bathing pool.
When the scale became impossible to dismiss, the theory was not corrected. It was replaced with a story of pale-skinned nomads from the steppe who supposedly arrived around 1500 BC and brought civilisation with them. There is no evidence. The chronology doesn't work. The Vedas describe no invasion.
In 2019 a Harvard-led genetic study revived the claim, and the press reported it as confirmation. It was not. The same study found the builders of these cities were indigenous. The Sarasvati river that the Rig Veda described had already dried up before these newcomers arrived. What the study also found is that a small group of men, arriving after the Sarasvati had already dried up, interbred with the existing population and left a genetic signature. That is all.
So, where they chose to dig was mostly an accident of climate and access. The Aryan invasion theory was constructed because an Indian civilisation that owed nothing to Caucasians was a fact the late nineteenth century could not accommodate.

๐ The Crocodile Killer โ Machali (T-16)
Born around 1997 in Ranthambore National Park, Machali quickly became one of the most famous and beloved tigresses in India. She wasnโt just beautiful โ she was incredibly strong and fearless, ruling a huge territory around the lakes.
Her most legendary moment happened in 2003 at Rajbagh. A massive mugger crocodile, around 12โ14 feet long (nearly 4 meters) and almost twice her weight, entered her territory near the water. It was threatening her cubs.
Machali didnโt hesitate. She charged straight into battle. The fight was long, brutal, and intense. The crocodile used its powerful jaws to drag her into the water, but she fought back with raw strength and speed. In the chaos, she lost two of her canines, but in the end, she killed the giant crocodile. The old video of this fight is still going viral even today.
Even after losing her canines and later becoming blind in one eye, Machali kept hunting successfully, defending her territory, and raising multiple litters. She lived to 19 years old โ an insane age for a wild tigress. Her bloodline still runs strong in Ranthamboreโs tigers today.

@Starsoftheveda6 Houses=Bhava
A Bhava 30 degrees
A navamsa= 3 degrees 20, A navamsa= 9 divisions of a bhava.
Software shows it like that because its easy to show positions of the Graha. Navamsa is not a chart.
