Qutbuddin Aibak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty in the Delhi Sultanate, died after falling from a galloping horse.
But is it really possible that a general who rode a horse for the first time at the age of 11 and fought countless battles on horseback could die from a galloping horse?
Real History vs. Fabricated Story
When Qutbuddin Aibak plundered Rajputana, he killed the king of Mewar and captured Prince Karan Singh. Along with the looted wealth and the prince, he also took the prince's horse "Shubhrak" to Lahore.
In Lahore, Karan Singh tried to escape and was captured. Qutbuddin ordered his beheading and, to add insult to injury, ordered a polo match played using the dead prince's head as a ball.
On the day of the beheading, Qutbuddin arrived at the venue riding Shubhrak. Upon seeing its master Karan Singh, the horse bolted uncontrollably, causing Qutbuddin to fall from the horse. Shubhrak kicked the fallen Qutbuddin with a powerful kick. The powerful blows to the chest and head proved fatal. Qutbuddin Aibak died instantly in 1210 CE.
Everyone was stunned. Shubhrak ran towards Karan Singh, and taking advantage of the ensuing chaos, the prince jumped onto his valiant horse, which immediately took off running and began the most arduous race of his life.
It was a continuous race for almost more than three days, finally stopping at the gates of the kingdom of Mewar. When the prince dismounted, Shubhrak stood still like a statue. Karan Singh lovingly stroked the horse's head, but was shocked when Shubhrak fell to the ground.
The powerful horse managed to save its master and safely escorted him back to his kingdom before succumbing to his injuries.
We've read about Chetak, but the story of Shubhrak is beyond belief! Facts like this never make it into the curriculum of our modern education system. Most of us haven't even heard of it. Have we?
It is permanently buried in history. It's time to share the glory.

India's Biggest Economic Challenge Is not Inflation, Oil, or War - It is an Unskilled Population Addicted to Distraction.
Every time oil prices rise, economists panic. Every time a war breaks out in the Middle East or Europe, television studios declare that India's economy is under threat. And yes, both matter. But neither represents India's greatest economic challenge. The real crisis is unfolding much closer to home.
It is a generation that spends more time consuming content than creating value. A workforce that debates geopolitics without mastering spreadsheets, artificial intelligence, coding, welding, precision manufacturing, sales, finance, communication, or even basic problem-solving. An economy where attention has become the most wasted national resource.
India is one of the youngest countries in the world. That should have been our greatest competitive advantage. Instead, we risk turning our demographic dividend into a demographic liability.
The Age of Endless Consumption
Never before has information been so accessible. Yet never before have so many people spent so much time learning so little. Hours disappear into political debates, celebrity gossip, cricket controversies, influencer reels, conspiracy theories, and outrage cycles that have absolutely no impact on an individual's earning potential. Ask someone how many hours they spent on social media last week. Then ask them how many hours they invested in acquiring a new professional skill. For many, the answer is uncomfortable. We have become experts at commenting on the economy while contributing very little to it.
Degrees Are Not Skills
India has no shortage of graduates. It has a shortage of employable graduates. Companies repeatedly report the same problem: vacancies exist, but suitable candidates are difficult to find. Not because people lack certificates. Because many lack practical skills. The world is rewarding competence, not credentials.
- Can you solve problems?
= Can you communicate effectively?
- Can you sell?
= Can you lead a team?
- Can you analyze data?
- Can you use AI to improve productivity instead of merely asking it amusing questions?
- Can you create something that another person is willing to pay for?
Those are the questions that determine economic success. Not the number of degrees hanging on a wall.
Attention Is the New Currency
The biggest theft today is not of money. It is of attention. Every notification fragments concentration. Every endless scroll delays mastery. Every hour spent consuming outrage is an hour not spent building expertise.
Modern economies reward deep work, specialized knowledge, creativity, and disciplined execution. Algorithms reward emotional reactions. Unfortunately, millions choose the algorithm.
The Coming Divide
Artificial intelligence is not replacing everyone. It is replacing people who refuse to learn. The future will belong to workers who continuously upgrade themselves. Those who combine human judgment with technological tools will become dramatically more productive. Those who stop learning will find themselves competing for fewer opportunities at lower wages. The divide will not be between rich and poor. It will increasingly be between skilled and unskilled.
National Growth Begins With Individual Discipline
Governments can build highways. Businesses can build factories. Universities can build campuses. But none of them can force an individual to develop skills. Economic transformation begins with personal responsibility. Spend one less hour arguing online. Spend one more hour learning. Read instead of scrolling. Build instead of complaining. Acquire one valuable skill every year. Become indispensable.
If millions of Indians made that simple choice, the country's economic trajectory would change more profoundly than any fiscal stimulus, any election promise, or any temporary fall in oil prices.
Wars will end. Oil prices will rise and fall. Markets will recover. But a nation that neglects skill development while surrendering its attention to endless distraction will struggle long after those headlines have disappeared.
The strongest economy is not built by the loudest voices. It is built by the most capable people.

Historian Vikram Sampath On Gandhi.
"Gandhi was OBSESSED with SEX"
"He solely decided to go on celibacy without concent of Kasturba"
"At young age, he was given extreme lust."
"Moment his father was dying,
He was doing sex"
"This made him guilty & hence Celibacy"

Tonight, a prayer for the mother of Sepoy Janjal Pravin Prabhakar receiving her son’s Kirti Chakra. Young Sepoy Janjal was killed in action in July 2024 after killing 2 terrorists in Kulgam, J&K. 💔🇮🇳
By all means run a bulldozer over Delhi Gymkhana. But don’t give the bullshit of exclusivity or privilege or tax payer money. If thats the standard we are living by then shut down Constitution Club; demolish the CSOI where govt land was given at throw away price to babus; shut down DSOI; take back all newspaper properties on BSZ Marg; Take back all lands given to NGOs which are profit centres; demolish IIC and Habitat Centre; stop subsidised food in parliament. MPs get paid so why should their food be subsidised? if they cant afford it, step down from parliament and do something that pays you enough. Shut down the Air Force and Army Golf Clubs, Santushti Centre, Race Club, and the Delhi Flying Club where no one flies anything. The DGC is being targeted because someone has an axe to grind and didnt get membership. Now its being made an elite vs non-elite fight which it isn't. But since we all want to play Bolshevik commies or are inspired by CCP and Khmer Rouge to demolish everything nice, decent, genteel, lets do a comprehensive job of it. Make it all a animal shelter which would warm the cockles of Pol Pot's heart. But please don’t give the BS of security because that is total hogwash. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
My advice to the @BJP4India : don’t make a weakling the Bengal Chief Minister and create a puppet show: Haryana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh should make you happy playing with a remote! Choose someone who will change Bengal and not someone who will change for you!
Excellent video by @virsanghvi on the corrupt and boorish behaviour of @Delhicustoms. Put some body cams on them and make it a punishable offence to not wear name badges. You’ll see their manner improve instantly.
Karnataka Congress Minister Santosh Lad instantly dropped Kannada & switched to Urdu & Hindi the moment the person said his name is Saleem.
All Kannada pride fanatics won't harass you if you are
- Muslim
- Modi hating leftist
- Congress Pidi
If the Manager of the SBI Bank would have been a Muslim instead of a Hindu, would the CM of KA, Siddaramaiah transferred her for not speaking in Kannada ???
Just Asking !!
Excellent @Tejasvi_Surya so impressed by your love for Kannada. When you come to Mumbai speak in Marathi and in Gujarati in Gujarat. Thank you, we were just discussing whether to grow the Bangalore office. Now decided to open a Hyderabad office and not to grow the Bangalore office. Thanks.
Pathetic. If the compulsion is local businesses and visitor footfalls, build a war/partition museum-park and have daily performances of how Pakistan has lost every war it has fought. Instead of the dumbassery of the Attari-Wagah beating retreat rubbish. We are not equals.
We care WAY too much about western validation/endorsement. Very much me included. If Op Sindoor has taught us anything, it is that we should give two shits about the opinion of anglosphere media. Sure, play the narrative game. But de-contaminate from validation-seeking.
_Nothing political about it.._
There are several reasons to be Narendra Modi's admirer and supporter (independent of his political power and chosen goals) :
1. You can never see this leader in shabby clothes or improper hair style or confused state of mind.
2. His body language is commanding, his gait is manly.
3. He resembles a saint in saffron, a soldier in military attire and a divine prince in normal daily wear.
4. Patriotism is his breath and discipline is in his blood.
5. In whosoever world leader's company he is, his talent dominates, others appear less talented.
6. Several apparently impossible election promises were fulfilled, we have never seen of any other leader of his calibre in the past.
7. Though he is in nation's higher hieararchy, he never favours his family. Could never see siblings around him, never ever.
8. He never avails any holiday.
9. He has never fallen sick. None has seen him with woollen shawl over his head or neck.
10. He knows how much to talk and when to keep quiet.
11. Being so busy, none has seen him exhausted. Sense of humour is excellent.
12. His speech is sharp and incomparable. Fluency of his language, clarity of thought, articulation in speech all augur well for the country.
13. He is never afraid of the gimmicks and challenges of political foes.
14. He does not waste his time answering the foolishness of opponents. Yet he is wholly committed to his duty with acumen.
15. He is a fusion of the three virtues - health, tradition and honesty.
16. Not only his decisions but also his shrewedness, timing and dedication are noteworthy.
17. His grandeur resembles a holy symbol of Hindu culture.
18. His powerful eyes are capable of making him a hypnotist.
19. This man has no confusion, fear or selfishness.
20. Lastly even at 74 this man works 15 to 20 hours a day. We have not seen him yawning.
