Project Samudra Manthan (Thread)

Most Indians know about ISRO, Green Revolution, nuclear tests.

But almost nobody is talking about India's biggest bet for the 21st century.

It's happening 3,000 metres below the Indian Ocean.

It's called SAMUDRA MANTHAN.

[Sann @san_x_m]

His name is Harekala Hajabba.

For decades he has sold oranges from a small cart near the bus stand in Mangaluru, Karnataka. He earns around a hundred and fifty rupees a day.

He has never been to school and cannot read or write. By every measure the world uses, he is a poor, unlettered fruit seller.

One day, sometime in the 1990s, a foreign couple stopped at his cart and asked him, in English, the price of his oranges. He could not understand them and could not answer. They walked away.

The moment did not anger him. It shamed him. Then it changed him.

He decided that no child in his village should ever have to stand there the way he had, unable to understand a simple question, locked out by language and the lack of a school.

His village, Newpadpu, did not have one. The nearest school was about seven kilometres away.

So an illiterate orange seller earning a hundred and fifty rupees a day set out to build a school. He saved his coins, approached officials and donors, and donated his own land.

In the year 2000, the school opened with twenty-eight children in a place that had never had one.

Today that school teaches up to Class 10 and has around a hundred and seventy-five students. Children from his village now study in classrooms he helped build from the price of oranges.

People began calling him Akshara Santha, the saint of letters.

In 2020, the Government of India awarded him the Padma Shri, one of the nation’s highest civilian honours. He walked up barefoot, wearing a plain white dhoti, to receive it.

He said it was not his award. It belonged to the school.

He still sells oranges and has said he wants to use whatever he earns and receives to build a college next.

A man who could not answer one question in English made sure thousands of children after him would never be left speechless the same way.

Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

The connection b/w the South Indian Murukku (that crunchy, coiled, savory snack we all love) & the ancient medical treatise of the Sushruta Samhita is 1 of the most brilliant, hidden examples of how ancient Indian snack food was originally engineered as preventative medicine.

When people think of the Sushruta Samhita, they immediately think of plastic surgery, rhinoplasty & complex surgical tools. But Sushruta was a holistic genius. He knew that the ultimate goal of medicine was to ensure a patient never needed surgery in the 1st place.

Volume 1 (Sutra Sthana, Chapter 46) contains an entire, massive section dedicated to Ahara-tattva (the nutritional science of food). And this is where the fascinating origin story of the Murukku begins.

In the Sushruta Samhita, Sushruta categorizes deep-fried pastry items under the broad family of Bhakshyas (cooked, chewable foods). Among them, he singles out a distinct item called Śaṣkulī. Over centuries, as the Sanskrit word Śaṣkulī traveled across different regions of India, it underwent phonetic shifts: In the North & West, the word evolved through Prakrit into Chakli (retaining the circular, coiled meaning).

In the South cultures translated the physical action of making it, twisting the dough giving us the beautiful descriptive name Murukku (which literally means twisted in Tamil).

Sushruta was deeply concerned with the concept of Agni (metabolic digestive fire). He categorized foods based on whether they were Guru (heavy to digest)/Laghu (light to digest). He noted that deep-frying grain dough in ghee makes it highly caloric & strength-giving (Bala-vardhana), but it can be incredibly heavy for the stomach.

To fix this chemical problem, ancient Indian cooks did something brilliant that Sushruta documented: they introduced Masha (Black Gram/Urad Dal) into the rice flour matrix. By mixing rice flour with roasted, ground urad dal, they created a complete amino acid profile (rice is low in lysine but high in methionine, while dal is high in lysine but low in methionine).

A few might think why did Sushruta spend time documenting a fried, coiled snack in a medical text meant for surgeons? Because of shelf-life & thermodynamics.

In ancient India, monks, traders & soldiers traveling across vast empires needed food that met 3 strict scientific conditions:

- It could not contain moisture (water causes bacterial spoilage).
- It had to be compact & physically rigid so it would not crumble into dust in a horse carriage.
- It had to be nutrient-dense to sustain high physical exertion.

By taking the Śaṣkulī dough, piping it into tight, concentric, interlocking coils (which structurally reinforces the snack against breaking) & deep-frying it until 100% of the water content evaporated, ancient Indians invented the ultimate preservative-free, shelf-stable survival ration.

When you hear the crunch of a Murukku today, you are literally tasting a recipe that was vetted, chemically balanced & medically approved by the Father of Surgery himself, Acharya Sushruta, 1000s yrs ago.

So, the next time you serve Murukku/Chakli with tea, you can proudly tell your guests: You are not just eating a snack. You are consuming a highly engineered, ancient Ayurvedic military ration designed to preserve human tissue :))

Congress High command made life hell for these 63 MLAs from Madhya Pradesh

First, on suspicion of horse trading, they were sent to a resort in Bengaluru, and while they were there, Meenakshi Natarajan's nomination got rejected

Today, they came to Delhi to protest, hoping for relief from the Supreme Court

But at 1 PM, the Supreme Court also dismissed Meenakshi Natarajan's plea

Now they are heading back from Delhi like cattle being transported.

Mr. Anil Rajput, Chairman, Bharat Ki Soch, writes that the Mahabharata does not condemn intelligence, it cautions against intelligence that is not guided by dharma.

Using the story of Shakuni, the article examines how manipulation, resentment and unchecked ambition can corrupt even the sharpest minds, while emphasising that character, restraint and moral responsibility remain the foundations of enduring leadership.

[SANATAN @Eternaldharma_]

The year was 1734, in Lahore. A 10-year-old Hindu boy named Haqiqat Rai was studying as usual with other students at a madrasa. He had recently joined the Persian class. The festival of Vasant Panchami was just around the corner, and he clashed with some Muslim children over the same topic. The Muslim children hurled some profanities against Goddess Saraswati, which the entire class supported. Unable to tolerate, Haqiqat Rai single-handedly opposed them.

Seeing the situation escalate, Haqiqat Rai and the other children were taken to the madrasa's cleric. There, all the Muslim children lied, claiming that Haqiqat had hurled profanities at Bibi Fatima. There was no evidence to support Haqiqat, and considering it a heinous crime, the cleric decided to punish Haqiqat Rai without even knowing the truth.
The cleric reported the incident to the Qazi, and considering it an insult to Islam, the young boy was publicly sentenced to death. His family pleaded for mercy with the then king, Zakaria Khan, but he, without knowing the truth, justified the punishment. The day of execution was deliberately set for Vasant Panchami.
Before his beheading, he was offered the option of converting to Islam, but Haqiqat refused. In 1734, when the entire country was celebrating Saraswati Puja, the beheading of this young child, only 10 years old, was beheaded in Lahore.
It is said that in her final moments, his mother urged him to convert to Islam, as at least he would remain alive. But Haqiqat Rai, smiling, bowed his head to the executioner.
Until the partition of India, both Hindus and Muslims gathered at Haqiqat Rai's tomb in Lahore every Vasant Panchami. It is no wonder that it was because of self-respecting Hindus like Haqiqat Rai that Sanatan Dharma stood tall against the invaders even in such difficult times.

Nalanda University , the renowned ancient Mahavihara in Bihar, India, was destroyed by fire around 1193-1200 CE, an event largely attributed to Turkic invader Bakhtiyar Khilji. The destruction occurred during Khilji's military campaigns in the region, aimed at consolidating power. The assault saw the university's massive library, known as Dharmaganja (comprising three large multi-story buildings named Ratnasagara, Ratnodadhi, and Ratnaranjaka), set ablaze.

Reports, including those referencing the Persian historian Minhaj-i-Siraj in Tabaqat-i Nasiri, suggest the library housed millions of precious manuscripts covering philosophy, astronomy, medicine, and Buddhist studies. The library reportedly burned for several months, with thick smoke hanging over the region for days, destroying irreplaceable knowledge.
Alongside the library, monks and scholars were massacred, and the monastery buildings were demolished, dealing a massive blow to Buddhist education in India.

While this was not the first time Nalanda faced destruction-earlier damages occurred in the 5th and 7th centuries - the late 12th-century invasion resulted in its final, irreversible decline, turning the flourishing international intellectual hub into ruins.
The site remained largely forgotten until its excavation.

Today, she fell into the hands of the public, and people made her wear the same white saree.

At first, no one understood why she was so eager to drape a white saree over another woman. 🙄

Later, it emerged that this TMC leader had allegedly stocked white widow's sarees, planning to distribute them to Hindu women after an expected victory on May 4.

Today, locals welcomed her with the same white saree. Irony writes itself. 👀

540 Janapadas! 🔥

This is the total number of Janapadas - kingdoms- in Bharata Varsha, as per Mahabharata.🔥

This will blow your mind as this is several times more than the number of Sixteen Janapadas that the mainstream history taught you!

Itihāsa Mahābhārata is inseparable from Bhāratavarṣa. No other ancient text contains this much information about the Geography of Bhāratavarṣa.

Mahābhārata mentions around 540 Janapadas, more than 100 cities, towns, & villages, 230 rivers & lakes, 100 mountain ranges & peaks, 20 forests, 59 regions, and 280 holy spots (Tirtha Stanas).

But what did we learn in schools?

Just 16 Janapadas!
