NSA Ajit Doval appears in Discovery’s upcoming docuseries Declassified: Operation Sindoor, offering a first-hand look at the decisions, objectives and resolve behind India’s 88-hour response.
On Operation Sindoor, he recalls:
“Prime Minister returned. The Foreign Secretary had come to receive him. Then, at the airport itself, we had a meeting. First, he wanted to know all the facts. And then his first question to me was, who has done it? Who is responsible? He made it very clear who the perpetrators are. I wanted to image it. Thanks to our intelligence agencies, I think they did a brilliant job. And within a very short time, we were able to arrive at the conclusion…”
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.
1. You choose to be a Muslim, you don’t choose to be Black.
2. You are supposed to be killed if you announce that you’re no longer a Muslim. You’ll at worst be laughed at for saying you’re no longer Black.
3. Islam has the stated objective of making everyone Muslim. The Black community does not have a mission to make everyone Black.
4. You are an evil, jihad-adjacent piece of shit that doesn’t belong in a non-Sharia society.
@alpha_defense I have full confidence in them ,they can take such decisions too,
If they are considering Pantsir system then I can expect anything from them
@Theatultiwari@ranvijaylive अरे Producer साहब, थोड़ा हल्का हाथ रखिए इस चूतिये सूअर पर
ये बहुत पहले से खुन्नस रख रहा होगा क्योंकि ताऊ ने सभी पार्टियों को कभी ना कभी धोया है, और ये तो वामपंथ और कांग्रेसी mixture है, इसको तो वैसे भी ताऊ की बातों से सबसे ज्यादा मिर्ची लगती होगी
इसे जाने दीजिए
@sharmakundan_ पहले का हिन्दू धर्म को ज्यादा मानता था , उसका आस्तिक होना उसकी आस्था पर टिका था, ईश्वर जिस भी रूप में धरती पर आए उनके बारे कुछ ना कुछ तो पता ही होता था
अब आप सिर्फ डर के कारण हिन्दू है , सामने वाला मुस्लिम है इसलिए आधे से ज्यादा लोग हिन्दू है , सरकार भी उसी को बढ़ावा दे रही है
@abhinaymaths चचा हम भी समर्थक थे तुम्हारे
गगन प्रताप और आदित्य रंजन जैसे लोगों को दूर से ही पहचान जाते थे कि ये टीचर नहीं है लेकिन मियां बच्चों का प्रोटेस्ट तुमने और आदित्य रंजन दोनों ने मिल कर खराब किया है अपनी राजनीति के चक्कर में
अब कितना भी बोल लो , कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ने वाला
