S Jaishankar: You're asking the wrong minister. Ask the minister of Pakistan, "how long". The world is not stupid. You can't confuse anybody anymore
Pak Jouno was trying to be smart; he had no idea who he was dealing with😂😂
From the BBC archives, a rare interview of #Amberdkar in 1955, where he outlines that Gandhi had been artificially kept alive in the memories of Indians by the the Congress Party. In reality he was a mere episode in our history & one that should have been exposed for the hypocrisy that he truly represented.

Inspiring story of Devdasi Vellayi 🙏
It was the year 1323 CE.
Srirangam was attacked by the Delhi Sultanate during the Tamil month of Vaikasi. Nearly, 12,000 residents of Srirangam island had laid down their lives fighting to protect the temple. The forces attacked the temple and Lord Ranganatha's jewels and the temple gold were taken away.
The forces also wanted to seize the murti of Vishnu. They searched for the murti but the Vaishnavite Acharya, Pillailokacharya had taken the murti away and fled to Madurai. (The murti of Vishnu, called Namperumal that left Srirangam in 1323 returned back only in 1371).
Unable to locate the murti, the Sultanate forces killed the temple authorities and later launched a massive hunt for Pillailokacharya and Namperumal.
Fearing that the forces would capture the Acharya and the idol, Vellayi, a temple dancer performed a dance before the commander of the forces thus gaining time for Pillailokacharya to escape with the image.
Her dance lasted for hours together and finally she took the commander to the eastern gopuram and pushed him down. After killing him, Vellayi jumped to her death from the tower of the eastern entrance chanting the name of Ranganathar.
Hailing Vellayi's sacrifice, the chief of Vijayanagara forces, Kempanna, who drove away the Sultanate forces, named the tower after her. The gopuram continues to be painted white in her memory and now called as Vellai Gopuram.
1) IIT Kanpur: Burning of firecrackers one of the least contributors to air pollution in Delhi. Firecrackers are not even in list of top 15 contributors to air pollution.
2) IIT Delhi: Biomass burning emissions, rather than fireworks, drive the poor air quality in Delhi during the days following Diwali.
This is going to be a huge score by New Zealand (Iceland II). The full emergence of Rachin Ravindra has been one of the joys of this tournament.
As for Pakistan, what balls were they given today?
These terrorists first provoke a conflict and when their asses ket kicked, they play victim. Thats the template. Add to it the Western liberals and left who will shed copious tears and scream blue murder when Israel hits back
The country that lies north of the oceans and south of the snowy mountains is called Bhárata, for there dwell the descendants of Bharata. Bhárata is the land of works, in consequence of which men go to heaven, or obtain emancipation. - The Vishnu Purana, Chapter III [400 BCE]
By the early 1700s, Muslims were a defeated people. The British took India from the Marathas, not the Mughals.
The secular and Islamist view of colonial history is that the British had snatched India from the Mughals, and therefore the Muslims should have been the rightful rulers of the country after the British exit. This is wishful thinking resulting from incorrect knowledge of history. In reality the British had taken India from the Hindus and not the Muslims.
Islam was a spent and defeated force in India by the mid-1700s, with the Hindu Marathas having liberated vast swaths – around 70 per cent – of the country from Muslim rule. The Mughal emperor became a protectee of the Marathas, and in 1771 the Marathas defeated the Mughals and Delhi came under Maratha rule.
By 1780, the Mughal ‘empire’ barely existed outside Delhi. (See attached maps)
The Marathas were the masters of Delhi until 1803 when the British defeated them in the Battle of Patparganj. S.M. Ikram writes in Muslim Civilization in India that “the Mughal empire, long a dependant of the Marathas, passed into British control.”
Similarly, Urdu poet Mohammad Iqbal, who became the chief ideologue of the Pakistan movement, was a bitter man who lamented the failure of the Muslim invasion of India. He mourned that the invincible armada of Hijaz (the holy land of the Muslims) that defeated so many civilisations had met its watery grave in the Ganges. He literally wept over the defeat of Islam in India and looked forward to a re-conquest. Iqbal’s biographer Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi wrote that the poet was frustrated because “instead of breaking idols….stretching a begging hand for a loaf of bread has become the Muslim’s profession.”
And here’s the most unequivocal evidence of Hindu ascendancy. Of the 584 kingdoms (or princely states in colonial terminology) that comprised India, only 56 (or less than 10 percent) had Muslim rulers, indicating that by the time British started taking control, Islamic rule was already on the decline and effective political power had shifted to Hindus.
