In 1990, Sarla Bhat, 27, was working as a staff nurse at Srinagar’s SKIMS hospital to support her family, even as fear forced her community to flee.
On April 15, 1990, Sarla was abducted from her hostel. For four agonizing days, JKLF terrorists subjected her to brutal torture and sexual assault. When her body was dumped in Mallabagh on April 19, her killers had carved the acronym "JKLF" directly into her flesh from a knife.
The horror continued for her family. When Sarla’s bullet-ridden body returned to Anantnag, the neighborhood was already a ghost town emptied by the exodus. Marooned and helpless, the grieving family could not find enough people to carry her to a funeral pyre. As they attempted her final rites, a grenade was hurled at their home. This targeted terror forced the last remaining Hindu families to flee.
Systemic apathy followed. Though a police complaint was filed in 1990, the file was buried. It took until 2025 for a Special Investigation Agency to reopen the case, naming four terrorists. Two are dead, one is absconding, and one is imprisoned: Yasin Malik, who was once pampered as a Damaad by New Delhi, invited to the high table as one of the esteemed "stakeholders in the Kashmir peace talks." Yesterday, chargesheet was filed in this case.
Sarla’s case is not isolated. Thousands of women faced similar brutality in Kashmir during the late 1980s and 1990s, leaving behind stories that have been completely erased from the records today.
A cartoon being circulated on X says Indians should thank the British because James Prinsep deciphered the Brahmi script & helped recover our history. :))
Do you know before he became a so-called expert on our ancient scripts, Prinsep’s primary day job was serving as the Assay Master (chief metallurgist & currency controller) at the Banaras & Calcutta Mints. He was not an academic; he was an economic agent sent to fundamentally alter India's wealth distribution system.
Until the 1830s, India had a beautifully diverse, highly resilient decentralized currency system. Local kingdoms, merchant guilds & regional mints issued their own silver and gold coins. Local money-changers (Shroffs) evaluated coins based on pure metal weight. James Prinsep was the literal architect who destroyed this system.
Using his position as Assay Master, Prinsep spent yrs systematically studying the purity of native Indian coins. He did not do this out of cultural curiosity, he did it to calculate how the East India Company could completely monopolize India's money supply.
His efforts directly culminated in the Coinage Act of 1835: The Elimination of Indian Heritage: Prinsep spearheaded the policy that completely banned all local Indian regional coins & traditional designs. He personally oversaw the design of the new, uniform colonial Silver Rupee. He forced the removal of traditional Indian symbols, replacing them with the cold, imperial face of British King William IV.
What makes this a financial "thug" operation is how the transition was enforced on ordinary Indians. By passing laws that declared traditional regional currencies invalid for tax payments, the British forced Indian merchants, farmers & citizens to bring their centuries-old ancestral coins to Prinsep's mints. Under Prinsep's direct technical supervision, the British mints engaged in massive institutional exploitation:
- They took the pure, high-quality silver coins of Indian states.
- They melted them down in giant cauldrons.
- They charged the native Indians a heavy seigniorage (a minting fee/tax) just to exchange their own ancestral silver for the new British currency.
This artificial bottleneck triggered a massive shortage of circulating cash in rural India, causing local economies to crash while systematically vacuuming pure silver out of Indian hands & placing it directly under East India Company control. It was 1 of the largest state-sanctioned currency manipulation schemes in world history.
But what is often sold to us is the idea that Prinsep was a polymath who single-handedly deciphered our ancient scripts. Ask the same people who Rathnapala was & you are likely to be met with complete silence. :(
@JethmalaniM@sportslawyerIND@impriyankabjp@UnSubtleDesi 17. So when you celebrate the victory in Bengal, think of and thank all those victims of brutality who paid the price for their religious and political beliefs literally with blood, sweat and tears. Never again should this happen anywhere in Bharat.
"It is incredible how much mass slaughter one can get away with when you have the protective cover of the intellectual class."
This is the most important line about Bengal from another post by @IndiaSpeaksPR. As @jsaideepak documents below, after the 2021 election, BJP voters and even some CPM voters were murdered or raped, and the "intellectual media" looked the other way because they wanted to "save" Bengal from a party they disliked. That was it.
Bengal was a heroic win for the BJP, paid for with blood. I cannot imagine the sacrifices made.
My salute to the brave warriors who fought hard to get here🙏
I was watching the FIDE Candidates 2026 tournament.
Divya Deshmukh is playing Goryachkina Aleksandra.
Notice the flag.
Goryachkina is playing under the FIDE flag because Russian and Belarusian players are not allowed to play under their respective flags.
Why? Because of the Ukraine war. Fide has banned
- The Russian flag 🇷🇺
- The Russian national anthem
- Official state representation
But look at how these goras give us lectures about how "sport" and "politics" shouldn't be mixed.
-#India’s former Foreign Sec Nirupama Rao recently made headlines for showing her love for #Pakistan
-I am putting a picture of hers with Paki Foreign Sec Salman Bashir laughing in Jul 2011
-13 Jul 2011 Mumbai triple bombings had just taken place killing 26, injuring 130 at Zaveri Bazaar, Opera House, & Dadar by Paki terroists
-Then, on 7 Sep Delhi High Court bombing killed 15, injured 74
-Before that in 2010 Pune German Bakery bombing (17 killed, 54 injured), Varanasi Sheetla Ghat bombing (2, 37), numerous Maoist attacks linked to Pak-China
-Even now at the age of 75 she wants to start a "parallel tracks" of engagement
-She is hobnobbing with Paki ex-FM Hina Rabbani Khar
-Hina is the same person who called India a belligerent, rogue, terrorist state
-Even though anytime anywhere in the world if a terrorist attack takes place there would be a Pakistani involved but Hina continues with her propaganda “No country has used terrorism better than India”
-Yet, here we are… trying to mollify the same hydra that is swallowing the world
These folks sipped wine with the enemy while Indians got blown up in malls, railways stations, markets, temples and buses. They do not give a shit about the civilian or the soldier. Their decades long lackluster career is proof of that. They deserve no respect, no honor.
India signed a document saying it was involved in Balochistan and Pakistan is a victim of Terror, within 6 months of 26/11 - July, 2009
At the Summit in Egypt, Pakistan asked India to do more on curbing Terror in Balochistan - again repeating within 6 months after 26/11 - when we were supposed to take revenge we were doing this cuckery
Shivshankar Menon, the foreign secretary at that time, later regretted the meeting

Beautiful post, let me add a little further. To the Greeks & later the Renaissance Europeans, a number was a length.
They believed, you can draw a line that is 5" long. You cannot draw a line that is -5" long. To a European mathematician like Francis Maseres (as late as 1758), negative numbers darken the very whole doctrines of eqns.
He argued that if you have 0 apples, you cannot take away 1. To him, the Indian concept of debt was a linguistic trick, not a mathematical reality. Also, When our numerals system reached Europe, the concept of a negative asset was so threatening to the Church's worldview (which associated nothingness/less than nothing with the Devil) that the City of Florence actually banned our numerals in 1299.
Indian mathematicians like Brahmagupta (7th Century) were the 1st to treat numbers as abstract entities rather than things you can touch. They decoupled math from the physical world 1000 yrs before the West did.
Almost 2000 years before Leibniz, the binary system was already developed by Pingala in India who used Zero & One to represent Sanskrit poetic meters. It later spread to China via Buddhism and its Sanskrit sutras. Interesting to note Leibniz was expert in both Sanskrit & Chinese.
They have discovered a paper by Indian scientists that first explored the effects of Dhoop & Havan on air borne pathogens. A finding ridiculed by colonized Indians then. Now the west have their own paper inspired by Indian scientists, am sure, and soon we will have "Sammy's smoke method" to purify indoor air with chemical isolates from cow dung and frankincense (सांब्राणी). The "Greek Yoghurt is so much better than hung Desi dahi" Colonized Indian losers will buy and use it for $$$.
Indeed.
(Read the attached post first, then till the end of this post).
Carl Sagan (Legendary Cosmologist) - "The Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes birth and death in cycles."
Neils Bohr (Atomic model) - "I go into the Upanishads to ask questions."
Robert Oppenheimer (Father of Atomic bomb) - "Access to the Vedas is the greatest privilege this century may claim over all previous centuries."
Erwin Schrodinger (Quantum mechanics) - "Atman = Brahman. The multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads."
Nicola Tesla (Legendary inventor) - "All perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles, all things and phenomena."
Fritjof Capra (Particle physicist) - "For the modern physicists, Shiva’s dance is the dance of subatomic matter."
Albert Einstein - "When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous"
Carl Jung (Analytical psychology) - "Our unconscious definitely prefers the Hindu interpretation of immortality."
Nietzsche (popular philosopher) - "There are so many dawns that have not yet broken" (from the Rig Veda).
Arthur Schopenhauer (pessimistic philosophy) - "In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life—it will be the solace of my death."
Then there are so many other legends in science, philosophy, and other fields who were highly influenced and inspired by Indian philosophy, like - Mark Twain, Victor Cousin, Alfred North, Romain Rolland, Rudolf Steine, Humboldt, Voltaire, Huxley, Emerson etc.
But the average Indian ignorant programmed by communists, imperialists, and racists by education, then thinking they are very educated and smart - "The vedas are mythology, Indian scriptures are religious rubbish, there is no use for them, we need to burn the bhagavat gita and eradicate sanatana dharma."
If you are someone still thinking like the above, or asking "what's the use now", first find out for yourself why some of the greatest modern minds read them and swear by them. And they do this even in the age of AI. Ask Sam Altman what he believes is the ultimate truth.
Jai Somnath!
2026 marks 1000 years since the first attack on Somnath took place. Despite repeated attacks subsequently, Somnath stands tall! This is because Somnath’s story is about the unbreakable courage of countless children of Bharat Mata who protected our culture and civilisation.
Here is my OpEd on this issue.

Image shows the d€ad body of a r*ped Hindu woman in the 1971 war.
It is said that the number of mass r@pes in the 9 month long war was between 200,000 and 400,000. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟭 𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗿^𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶 𝗥𝗮𝗷𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗹-𝗕𝗮𝗱𝗿.
Total murdered were around 40 lakhs, and until date there has been no justice served to the dead and r@ped.
This is the reality of Pakistan army that Bollywood’s ‘Aman ka Tamasha’ gang try whitewashing in their propaganda movies, like Ikkis.
Dharmendra’s character in Ikkis asks the question - Dushman kaun ?
The correct answer to this will be- the enemies of India are sitting inside the country and working against India, while pretending to be movie directors and producers, journalists, politicians, and academicians!
