Sahadeva, the unsung hero of Mahabharata!
Noticed these while writing the book Geography of Mahabharata. Not many know, among Nakula and Sahadeva - the twins, Sahadeva is stronger. His military expedition to the south was the longest of all the four Pandava brothers! It took 22 months.
He traveled from Indraprastha to southwards to defeat many kingdoms in the south including Matysa where the Pandavas later lived incognito.
He used both deplomacy and tactics to win kingdoms. Surasena - Krishna's native kingdom governed by Kritavarma, Patachara, Apara Matsya, Nava Rashtra, Karusha, Nishada Bhumi, Gosringa, are among the kingdoms he defeated.
He was supported by the king of Kunti Rasthra his maternal grandfather, father of his step mother Kunti.
He also defeated Jambhaka near Charmanvati, a former enemy of Krishna.
He had to face near defeat at Mahishmati (Maheshvar city) along Narmada, due to the fire weapon (agneya astra or agni baan) expertise of its king Nila. He used deplomacy to win over the Mahishmati king.
Sahadeva then marched eastwards along Narmada to Traipuri and also the tribal population living around Dandakaranya to its north east.
This aligns with the Valmiki Ramayana identification of Dandakaranya along the Satna River (a southern tributary of Ganga flowing into Madhya Pradesh).
Sahadeva then retracted back along Narmada to its post city Bhrgukaksha (Barauch) from where he sent messengers to Lanka. This aligns with the identification of Lanka as the Bhagatrav, another sea port in an isolated island inside Narmada mouth, in the Dakshina Samudra (a term used to denote sea around Gujarat).
Sahadeva then marched southwards upto Surashtra (Surat). He sent messsngers to Bhishmaka ruling at Vidarbha capital Kundina, his son Rukmi ruling at Bhojakata and Ashmka capital Potana. These where the new kingdoms that sprang up to the south of Narmada after Rama Era, in the Pandava Era.
Sahadeva reached as south as Sanjayanti (Sanjan) and Surparaka (Sopar) near Mumbai. Some islands of Mlecchas are mentioned after this which could be the former islands that were joint to form the current Mumbai.
The remaining of his expedition potentially included some later additions:-
From Surparaka Region, Sahadeva sent messengers to southern kingdoms like Karanataka, Pandya, Kerala, Chola, Andhra, Talavana etc.
He is mentioned as sending messages to Yavana cities like Antakhi (Antioch) a Greek port city in Turkey, which is only founded by kings later to Alexander. Hence it is clearly a later addtion.
Similarly in this expedition, port cities in Kerala like Kollagiri (Ezhimala) and Muraci Pattana (Musiris) are mentioned.
Here the ancient name of Srilanka is mentioned as Tamra Dvipa ( Note, it is not mentioned as Lanka!).
Ramdas Athawale owns and uses multiple cars worth crores as he's a union minister. He is among the most privileged people in his caste, yet he still plays the victim card.
High time we reject this victim card!
Rice bag convert, Christians burned more than 4,00,000+ women, labelling them as witches, while sati was stopped by Hindus themselves. Everything this niqqa mentioned was done by Christians themselves
According to this fool @DivijaBhasin, Rakhi is patriarchal because "only sisters tie Rakhi to brothers.".
Someone tell this idiot. Rakhi is tied not just by sisters.
Traditionally, Brahmans tied Rakhi to Kshatriyas. Sons tied Rakhi to mother. Students tied Rakhi to Guru. Wives tied Rakhi to husband.
The ritual was never gendered. It was about protection, devotion, and bond across every relationship imaginable. The "sisters only" version is a colonial-era folk reduction, not the tradition.
Calling a 2000-year-old ritual patriarchal based on a folk reduction is not feminism. It is ignorance with a blue tick.
Bollywood needs to die. Each and every movie 2000 onwards (at least) shows a glorified loser lecturing the audience to spend not save, don't marry, waste yourself. Damn, what a shitshow.
Mallu hindu born and raised
We have special vamana worship for 3 days around onam and day after
Grew uo with it and vamana jayanthi traditions
You dont get to dictate our religion to us , sudapi erapali
Rich dominant(mahar) bheems explaining the concept of MERIT to poor non-dominant(matang) bheems that are demanding sub-categorisation of SC/ST quota.
Can't get any funnier ЁЯдгЁЯдг
Not surprising to find Mallu Christians readily explaining Hindu traditions and texts to Hindus - keeping up with the age-old missionary tradition, no doubt.
On the other hand, they seem unable to escape the good/evil hero/villain binary. If there is god, there must be satan, if Mahabali is good, Vamana must be bad.
Maybe Mallu Hindus should start giving some enlightenment in return on the faith system of such observers.
