All the major rivers originate from the Himalaya is the result of Glacial activities.
The Himalaya is a fold-mountain, therefore it's mother rock isn't stable like a volcanic mountain.
When the glacier breaks and fall with lots of boulders with different sizes.

Nepal’de bir dağda buzullar çökerken, birileri de sanki sıradan bir olaymış gibi çekim yapıyor. Akıbetleri ne oldu acaba?

@sisupalagarha Pattnaik and Mohanty were close to Moghals and these two communities were the middle-man between Mughal Subah of Odisha and native Prices- Zamindars of the region.

@sisupalagarha Pattnaiks and Mohanty looted the State for 80 long years after independence without opposition from the people of Odisha.
Most of the mining and land mafias belong to these two communities.
If Centre takes the revenue, that would be used for larger cause.

20 BJP MPs in Lok Sabha and not one of them raised their voice against the MMDR Amendment Bill.

This Act transfers the control of all mineral bearing lands of Odisha (& other States) to the Centre.

Odisha can't levy any tax or cess or royalty without the Center's permission

@Frithnkr Kalinga was a narrow coastal strip stretching from Hugli river in West Bengal to Krishna river in Andhra Pradesh. Highlands of Odisha were not included.

@Frithnkr I appreciate your attached map. The place Dantapura in Eastern coast is highly controversial. Historians are unable to trace the exact location of it.
Some says it is Kalinganagara in Srikakulam
Other locate it near Puri
Very few scholar identity Dantapura with present-day Vizag

@Frithnkr I have noticed "Trishuls" in and around the Buddhist monastery in Mongolia.
Some scholars suggested that Shaivasm is a form of Tantric Buddhism spread to Iran by the Mongols.

It seems opposition parties in India have gained noticeable momentum by aligning with the youth-led "Cockroach" protests....

@Frithnkr The city of Junagarh has a connection with Greek Ionians ( Yona Ghar).

Loot at the "melting doorstep" at Ratnagiri monastry. It gives an impression that it was abandoned very recently and used for a long period of time.
Ratnagiri functioned as a major Buddhist monastic centre between 8th-12th centuries A.D.
