In June 1761, as the bruised Maratha power struggled to cope with the defeat at Panipat, in Pune, Nanasaheb Peshwa knew his end was near. In the city he loved, he built the Lakdi pul in a week, visiting and supervising the construction in a palanquin.
This picture - drawn in 1875, shows Pune from Bhamburda, the Omkareshwar temple across the Mutha river, Lakdi pul, Parvati and Sinhagad in the background.
Nanasaheb died soon after on Parvati hill....where a Panipat memorial is being planned now, 265 years later.

@AjaatShatrruu Considering presence of Maratha power in Bengal, we should not forget Bhaskar Ram Kolhatkar / Bhaskar Pandit.

When the Government of India announced the Padma Shri for Dr. Tapan Kumar Lahiri,
the protocol required him to travel to Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi to receive the honor from the President.

​However, Dr. Lahiri was hesitant to go. His reasoning was simple: "If I go to Delhi, who will look after my patients in the OPD?" For him, a day away from the hospital wasn't a holiday; it was a day his patients—many of whom traveled from Bihar and rural UP—would go untreated.

Finally he did go given the prestige associated with the event.

Who is Dr Tapan Lahiri?

Dr. Tapan Kumar Lahiri is a legendary Indian cardiothoracic surgeon and professor commonly referred to as the "Saint of BHU". Dr. Lahiri has done FRCS and MCh and working in BHU.

​Dr. Lahiri’s commitment to the poor is extraordinary.

In 1994, when his salary (including allowances) exceeded ₹1 lakh, he stopped taking it entirely, directing the university to use the funds for the treatment of underprivileged patients.

After retiring in 2003, he continued this practice with his pension. He keeps only enough to cover two simple meals a day and donates the remainder to the BHU patient fund.

Even in his 80s, he has been known to walk to the hospital at 6:00 AM daily, carrying a simple bag and a black umbrella, to check on his patients.

As he says
​"With the grace of Lord Vishwanath and Maa Annapurna, I will keep serving patients till my last breath."

A rare achievement by the young vedamurti Devvrat Mahesh Rekhe (19yrs). Son of Vedabrahmasri Mahesh Chandrakant Rekhe of Ahilya nagar (MH), vedamurti Devvrat completed reciting nearly 2000 mantras of Shukla Yajurveda Madhyandina Shakha, (dandakrama parayanam) and thus cleared the exam.
The parayanam was over 50 uninterrupted days. @sringerimath says “…Dandakrama- considered the crown of Vedic recitation due to its complex svara-patterns and intricate phonetic permutations - has been performed only three times in known history, with Devavrat’s recitation being flawless and completed in the shortest span.”
Dedication, discipline, focus and rigour of a high order — my namaskaram to the entire family.

1681 Aurangzeb has reached the lowest level of religious bigotry. He issued a farman to destroy Jagannath Temple. He ordered his subedar of Bengal Province ,Amir-ul-Umara to demolish it.

It seems people living in slums like Kasturba Vasahat and Indira Vasahat Aundh, are allowed to use loud speakers beyond 10 pm. @CollectorPune

If told to stop they use foul language, abuse and gather in huge numbers as if it is their right to use loud speakers.

Did you know Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj ensured that the colonial powers could not carry slave trade from large parts of the Western coast of India?

With the latest movie Chhaava, the valourous side of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and the Maratha empire is being rightfully celebrated.

But Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was far more than a fierce warrior. He is one of the most astute kings to have ever lived.

A book that goes into the depths of diplomacy, leadership and acumen of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj is authored by Dr. Kedar Phalke and is published by us. This book is an eye-opening account of what Maharaj achieved in just 9 years of reign. Here is a link to that - https://t.co/93o0XKTrNT

Sambhaji Maharaj had himself authored a book called "Budhbhushan" that talked about politics and how to live in society. We are a proud publisher of the Marathi and English versions of this book. Here is a link to the book - https://t.co/TuSz5HGYPS

In every sense, he was the heir of his legendary father. When one looks at how Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj built his kingdom, one can only be inspired and stunned. Dr. Kedar Phalke has delivered a unique course, which takes us through the principles and the policy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. - https://t.co/8ahSzGMrpB

Lastly, these are drops in the ocean of Maratha history. There is a place in Pune called Bharat Itihas Samshodhan Mandal, which houses some of the rarest and the most significant resources on Maratha history.

We would encourage everyone to visit it sometime and support the institution in every possible manner.
