No fewer than two dozen major wars were fought among the Rajputs with zero Muslim involvement. Not a single episode involved self-immolation of any kind. Not one. Neither Indian, nor foreign accounts record a single instance. Now see this:

- 712-712, Dahir of Sind vs. Muhammad bin Qasim: Jauhar committed.
1232-1232, Gwalior (Rajputs) vs. Iltutmish: Jauhar committed
- 1301-1301, Ranthambore vs. Alauddin Khalji: Jauhar committed
- 1299-1299, Jaisalmer vs. Alauddin Khalji: Jauhar committed
- 1303-1303, Chittor vs. Alauddin Khalji: 1st jauhar of Chittor
- 1327-1327, Kampili vs. Muhammad bin Tughluq: Jauhar committed
- 1326-1326, Jaisalmer vs. Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq: Jauhar committed
- 1486-1486, Kuva (Kankavati) vs. Mahmud Begada: Jauhar committed
- 1528-1528, Chanderi vs. Babur: Jauhar committed.
- 1535-1535, Chittor vs. Bahadur Shah: 2nd jauhar of Chittor
- 1543-1543, Raisen vs. Humayun: 3 jauhars committed
- 1568-1568, Chittor vs. Akbar: 3rd jauhar of Chittor
- 1634-1634, Bundelkhand vs. Aurangzeb: Jauhar committed
- 1710-1710, Daddanala vs. Mir Fazlullah: Jauhar committed

Similarly, when the British came, we had a series of gruesome engagements starting with Plassey and Buxar, then going on to the Carnatic Wars, the Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Anglo-Maratha Wars, the Anglo-Gurkha War, the Anglo-Sikh Wars, the Anglo-Burmese Wars, the Anglo-Afghan Wars, and many, many more.

No jauhar.

Now, when someone like that book reviewer condemns “Hindutva” for “glorifying jauhar,” I am fully on their side. I agree it was a morbid ritual that does not belong in a civilized society, thank goodness we no longer do that. But do you see a pattern in the above lists?

Why do you think this macabre ritual was practiced EXCLUSIVELY in conflicts involving Muslim forces?

Why didn’t women feel the need to self-immolate when their kingdoms fell to any other adversary?

You can’t be dumb enough to not draw the only possible conclusion here.

Nobody glorifies jauhar, it was not picnic.

We “honor” it. No, not the immolation itself but the debilitating sentiment behind it. With the honor we keep our alive in our collective memory. Know why?

Because the demons that drove our ancestors to such extremities still live and breathe amongst us to this day.

And they haven’t changed one bit.

When someone prefers death to your touch, what even are you?

मैं वीरपुत्र मेरी जननी के जगती में जौहर अपार।
अकबर के पुत्रों से पूछो, क्या याद उन्हें मीनाबजार?
क्या याद उन्हें चित्तौड़ दुर्ग में जलने वाली आग प्रखर?
जब हाय सहस्त्रों माताएं, तिल तिल कर जल कर हो गई अमर।
वह बुझने वाली आग नहीं रग रग में उसे समाए हूं।
यदि कभी अचानक फूट पडे विप्लव लेकर तो क्या विस्मय?
हिन्दु तन मन, हिन्दु जीवन, रग रग हिन्दु मेरा परिचय॥
I’m the son of bravehearts; the Jauhars of my mothers in this world are without compare.
Ask the sons of Akbar — do they remember Meena Bazaar?
Do they remember the fierce fire that burned in the fort of Chittor?
When, alas, countless mothers burned themselves to bits and became immortal.
That is not a fire that can be extinguished; I carry it in my every vein.
If someday itsuddenly bursts forth into a rebellion — what wonder would that be?
Hindu body and mind, Hindu life — Hindu in every vein is my description.
-Atal Bihari Vajpayee

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Judging Jauhar through a cushioned, 21st-century ideological lens is historical illiteracy wrapped in cheap academic posturing.

If Jauhar were just an invention of Hindu patriarchy or misogyny, where was it during the centuries of internal battles between Hindu kings? It didn't exist, because they fought with a certain honor that included not targeting non-combatants, including women, in any way. Jauhar emerged exclusively as a response to medieval Islamic invasions, where war wasn't just about territory, but systemic mass rape, forced conversion, and selling women off like livestock in foreign slave markets.

Feminists like Swara Bhasker preach about autonomy and choice, completely ignoring the reality of the situation. When foreign armies breached the fort, women didn't have a choice between death and living. Their only two options were a quick, self-inflicted death, or death after years of violent sexual abuse, physical torture, and horrific enslavement until their bodies gave out.

Condemning those women for burning themselves while ignoring the barbarians who drove them into the fire is pathetic victim-blaming. Jauhar was a tragedy, but the absolute onus belongs entirely on the invaders who forced that reality upon them.

जीवित त्वचा के तनिक तिली भी पास लगती है तो अनायास चीख निकल जाती है। वे कौन वीरांगनाएँ थीं, जिन्होंने अपनी शुचिता और प्रतिष्ठा को रौंदे जाने से बचाने के लिए स्वयं को आहूत कर दिया? क्या उन्हें अपने प्राण प्रिय न थे?

“कूद पड़ी थीं यहाँ हज़ारों पद्मिनियाँ अँगारों पर!”

वे कायर नहीं थीं। वे इतनी जीवट थीं कि शवों को भी न बख़्शने वाले मलेच्छों के हाथों उनकी राख भी नसीब नहीं हुई थी। उन शील और चरित्र की प्रतिमूर्तियों पर ये विदूषक प्रवचन देंगे जिनका जीवन केवल देह से आरंभ होकर देह पर समाप्त होता है। मुस्लिम आक्रांताओं पर आसक्त इन लफ़्फ़ाज़ अभिनेत्रियों को मालूम होना चाहिए कि जीवन केवल अस्थिमज्जा से संचालित नहीं होता।

आख़िरकार राजवीर सर NCERT की तथाकथित ‘इतिहास’ की किताबों और भारत की शिक्षा व्यवस्था की उस सच्चाई को सामने ला रहे हैं, जहाँ तथ्यों से ज़्यादा नैरेटिव पढ़ाए गए।

ऐसे आधे-अधूरे तथ्यों और भ्रामक कथाओं ने एक-दो नहीं, दो-तीन पीढ़ियों की सोच और भविष्य को प्रभावित किया।

इतिहास पढ़ाया नहीं गया, इतिहास के नाम पर एक नैरेटिव गढ़कर पीढ़ियों को सौंप दिया गया।

देखिए, कैसे। 👇

Never forget how this medical scandal began. 

Back in the 1980s, a small group of trans activists hatched a plot: to take an absurd, illogical overvalued belief—that being transgender is innate, natural, healthy—and force all of society to live in a fictional world built on it.

Given the sheer audacity of that plot, there must have been people who said it couldn’t be done. But if such voices existed, they were ignored. And the activists pressed on until they succeeded in nothing less than reshaping reality itself.

And they didn’t just persuade people to politely look the other way.

They rallied good, decent people to march in the streets demanding that teenagers sacrifice their health, their fertility, and their sexual function in the name of this belief.

They convinced governments to write laws based on a non-existent, fictional concept.

They enlisted well-meaning teachers to poison the minds of a generation with absurd lies.

And they drove doctors to amputate healthy organs and call it medicine.

If they could succeed in creating that false reality, then surely we can succeed in restoring truth.

Because our cause is not built on lies but on logic and reason. Not on ideology but on sound ethical principles. Not on harm but on healing.

My talk at @genspect’s conference in Albuquerque calls for the complete rejection of this dangerous belief.

Only by restoring truth and reality can we actually protect vulnerable people from this medical crime.

तनी सुन ल रे टीपू के सेना, तनी सुन ल!

खेल तो आप लोगों ने यूपी के साथ खेला था—भ्रष्टाचार, माफियाराज और अराजकता का। इसी खेल का जवाब यूपी की जनता ने आपको 2017 में सत्ता से बेदखल करके दिया था और सच तो ये है कि सच्चाई सामने आने पर आज भी आप बौखला जा रहे हैं। आप सोशल मीडिया का खेल शुरू करने की बात कर रहे हैं, लेकिन याद रखिए- सामने वही यूपी है, जिसने आपके पांच साल के कार्यकाल को देखा है, सहा है और भूला नहीं है।

हम आपके पूरे कार्यकाल का हिसाब लेकर बैठे हैं।आपके भ्रष्टाचार से लेकर माफियाराज और कानून-व्यवस्था तक सारे काले चिट्ठे हमारे पास हैं। और जवाब की बात कर रहे हैं तो याद रखिए टीपू भैया- जनता ने 2017 में भी जवाब दिया था, 2022 में भी दिया था और इस बार भी अपने तरीके से जवाब देने को तैयार है।

खैर टीपू भैया, अभी तनी अपने कांडों की झांकी देखिए... और हमारा गाना सुनिए। कसम से, मजा आएगा

A Dalit brother is also pointing out how the Constitution is discriminating against people from Savarna (general) castes. And I agree with him. My grandfather was a village headman (mukhiya). Then the government imposed a ban that general category people cannot contest elections, so even today we have not been able to contest elections. Equality 🥀

[Sikandar @VinamreKasanaa]

Three of the four previous NSAs were diplomats and not intelligence officers. Even M.K. Narayanan was an intelligence administrator (also headed IB). What makes Doval different beyond the BJP's obvious narrative building around him is that he actually did long undercover work risking his life. That kind of skin in the game helps in deploying Indian spies across the world in a way it's never been done before. Whenever I ask nat sec folks about the 'unknown gunmen,' they always say it is a baseless allegation. But we all know what Israel began with targeted assassinations...India is perfecting it against its enemies. In this clip, investigative journalist @AnirudhyaMitra3 describes the Dovalian approach to national security.

The BJP leader Shailendra Tripathi said, Sushant was torturéd for 4-5 hours before he was kílled.

Torturing someone for five hours indicates the killérs were in a secure, private location where they felt completely safe from interruption or discovery.

Where was Sushant immobilized with a stun gun and torturéd for hrs, was it Mt Blanc, Bandra police station or was he taken to Karjat just like Disha? Which is the actual crime scene? Shame on you @CBIHeadquarters for covering up such a heníous crime.
