@archana2210 @thebetterindia The post claims it as a ‘Game Changing Indian Innovation’ which it isn’t.

@manas_muduli I’m sure the car had a driver and was not programmed by MG to plough into those people. Why is the car highlighted and the driver not mentioned?

Why is the husband of IAS important? The other poor soul didn’t mean much??

@Fintech03 Indian scientists should dress Indian. There is something very attractive about dressing Indian and science.

Really appeals to me!!

[Facts that Matter @hamaraitihas]

@Fintech03 UPI is a great example of how India’s opportunity can be uniquely exploited by Indian tech. Same applies to AI.

Indigenous AI will be more suitable to the majority of humanity’s need than the developed world’s.

@aravind You are right, but so is he.

There will be a crash and then it will build again!

AI will deflate and inflate again

@InvestRepeat @nsitharaman This will increase outflow in the short run.

As long as the opportunity outside of India is better they will not stop.

[Facts that Matter @hamaraitihas]

I believe the govt should sit this one out!

FPI outflow is driven by better opportunity elsewhere, like always, mostly AI driven if you see the markets and companies it has been going to. Govt should wait for the bubble to burst and only then introduce measures to make India more attractive.

Lack of opportunity elsewhere, undervalued India, continued growth and less taxes for FPIs would be like bees to flowers.

These combination of factors coming to play together has the potential to give us a bull market like never before and probably sustained.

@aravind She is opinionated in the first and preachy in the second para.

Who does that sound like?

[Facts that Matter @hamaraitihas]

@YTKDIndia @anshikashukla_ Imagine, the worlds, soon to be, third largest economy will have cities which still look like sub-Saharan Africa and to top it all there is nothing happening to correct the situation.

We don’t have a single city or town to be proud of.

The man on Jinnah’s right hand side is his right hand man, Nawab Mohammad Ismail Khan.

A Cambridge grad with aristocratic descent, Khan started off with Congress but quickly segued into separatist politics with Jinnah’s Muslim League.

Man was not a mere member, but a veritable high-priest of Islamic politics second only to Jinnah in influence and authority. When Jinnah temporarily relocated to London in the early 1930s to attend the Round Table Conferences, Ismail Khan essentially took over the sole leadership of the Muslim League in India.

Was also instrumental in reorganizing the League in 1930s and was a key backer of the 1940 Lahore Resolution, where the demand for Pakistan was formally announced.

Died at the age of 73 in 1958 and today lies buried in Delhi, not far from the shrine of Nizamuddin Auliya. Wait a minute...Delhi?

Why Delhi?

Because he died in Meerut.

That’s right, Nawab Mohammad Ismail Khan, one of the founding signatories of the Pakistan Resolution and Jinnah’s closest confidantes...

Never moved to Pakistan. His three sons did. But he didn’t. Despite several invites with incentives of ministerial positions. Why?

He wasn’t alone. TWENTY-SEVEN other champions of the Pakistan Movement not only refused to migrate to the country they armtwisted into creation at the cost of 2 million lives, but even went on to influence our Constitution as members of the Constituent Assembly.

Some call it patriotism, others call it conquest. I lean in favor of the latter, your mileage may vary.

Bakhtiyar Khalji ended an unbroken Hindu rule over Bengal in 1204 when he defeated Lakshman Sena. But 200 years later, the Muslim rule too faced an interruption.

When Sultan Bayazid died around 1414, an immensely influential zamindar named Raja Ganesh decided to make his move.

Raja Ganesh was already a bit of a kingmaker in what was called the Ilyas Shahi regime. With the death of Bayazid, he realized there was no starting enough successor and he didn’t really need to crown another Ilyas Shahi dynasty.

The coup was a cakewalk.

Of course the Muslims did not like the development. Enter Shaikh Nur Qutb Alam, the most influential Sufi saint in Bengal.

Don’t let the word “Sufi” warm your cockles. Think whirling dervishes and Ganga-Jamuni mysticism? Lose all such ideas. This one here was every bit as political, as fanatical as the garden variety Ladens and Baghdadis of today.

The saint was so disgusted by the “infidel” takeover that he wrote frantic, pleading letters to Sultan Ibrahim Shah Sharqi of the neighboring Jaunpur Sultanate, practically begging him to invade Bengal and save Islamic rule.

If this sounds familiar, it’s probably because you’ve read about one Shah Waliullah Dehlawi who wrote similar letters to Abdali after Aurangzeb’s death.

Sultan Sharqi happily obliged and marched a massive, overwhelming army toward Bengal. Realizing he was totally outgunned, Raja Ganesha panicked. He went straight to the Sufi and begged him to call off the invasion. Nur Qutb Alam gave him a non-negotiable ultimatum: “I will stop the army, but only if you convert.”

Ganesha had no choice.

He said yes.

Which made his wife very angry. She absolutely vetoed the idea.

Caught between an invading army, a jihadi Sufi, and a furious wife, the royal couple reached a desperate compromise. They had a 12-year-old son named Jadu. They offered to convert him instead.

Jadu was handed over to the saint, officially converted to Islam, and renamed Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah. Raja Ganesha abdicated, the young Muslim boy was placed on the throne, and the Jaunpur army went home. But the drama? Far from over.

The jihadi Sufi died in 1416, leaving Raja Ganesha with a second window of opportunity. With his primary religious rival out of the picture, Raja Ganesha boldly came out of “retirement.” He deposed his own teenage son and took the throne back, ruling under the grand title “Danujamarddana Deva.”

But what to do with the newly Muslim son?

According to legendary accounts, he desperately wanted to bring Jadu back into the Hindu fold. To cleanse him of his conversion, Ganesha organized a bizarre, incredibly extravagant Vedic purification ritual known as the Suvarna Dhenu or “Golden Cow.” Craftsmen were commissioned to build a life-sized cow out of solid gold. Jadu was literally passed through the golden cow’s mouth and pulled out its rear to simulate being “reborn” as a pure Hindu. The golden statue was then broken into pieces and distributed to the local priests as alms.

All happily back in Hindu fold now, right?

lol no. That’s not how Islam works.

Despite the golden rebirth, the ritual didn’t stick. Raja Ganesha died shortly after, around 1418. His younger, Hindu son Mahendra tried to succeed him, but Jadu, now firmly identifying as Jalaluddin once again, violently overthrew his brother.

Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah reclaimed the throne as a fanatical Muslim ruler. He gave the remaining Hindu aristocracy the chilling ultimatum of “Quran or death.”

In a wild twist of fate, the boy who was forced to convert to save his Hindu father’s kingdom ended up ruling for 16 years and became one of the most aggressive proponents of Islamization in Bengal’s history.

Muslim rule in Bengal may have started with Khilji, but meaningful Islamization of the territory? Ironically that credit…

Goes to a Hindu who abandoned his roots.
