@will_seaborn Oh they're not the same thing.
Because in most cases women don't know he's an Abdul.
Abdul changes his identity and tells the woman he's a Hindu.

Mesopotamia was never the cradle of civilisation. India was.
I spent forty years in international shipping, not academia. When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I had no orthodoxy to defend. I followed the evidence, and it kept arriving in the same place: the Indian subcontinent.
Nineteenth century archaeologists dug in Mesopotamia because the climate preserved artefacts, the biblical sources pointed them there, and the Ottomans allowed the excavations. That is the entire basis for the myth of Mesopotamia as "the cradle of civilisation."
Nobody applied the same rigour to India. Mohenjo-daro was not discovered until 1922. By then the narrative had already hardened.
What was actually there was the largest civilisation of the ancient world. Three hundred cities. Fifty thousand people in each, by 2600 BC. Two thirds of them stood on the banks of the Sarasvati, the central and greatest of the seven rivers described in the Rig Veda, flowing down from the Himalayas before the river vanished entirely by 1900 BC. The Vedic kings claimed territory stretching "sea to sea," from Afghanistan to Maharashtra, some 1.5 million square miles, against Egypt's 13,000. A dock at Lothal built to handle thirty ships of sixty tons, unmatched in Europe for four thousand years. When it was first excavated, it was recorded as a bathing pool.
When the scale became impossible to dismiss, the theory was not corrected. It was replaced with a story of pale-skinned nomads from the steppe who supposedly arrived around 1500 BC and brought civilisation with them. There is no evidence. The chronology doesn't work. The Vedas describe no invasion.
In 2019 a Harvard-led genetic study revived the claim, and the press reported it as confirmation. It was not. The same study found the builders of these cities were indigenous. The Sarasvati river that the Rig Veda described had already dried up before these newcomers arrived. What the study also found is that a small group of men, arriving after the Sarasvati had already dried up, interbred with the existing population and left a genetic signature. That is all.
So, where they chose to dig was mostly an accident of climate and access. The Aryan invasion theory was constructed because an Indian civilisation that owed nothing to Caucasians was a fact the late nineteenth century could not accommodate.

"Pakistan's problem is not just KASHMIR. It is India's RISE": Christina Fair
If Kashmir was resolved tomorrow, would Pakistan stop confronting India? According to Christina Fair, the answer is a big NO.
Fair highlights Pakistan's own military narrative: "Even after losing the 1971 war and losing half of the country, Pakistan claims it was not defeated and remains the only power capable of challenging India's rise in South Asia."
Fair argues that Kashmir is only one part of a much larger rivalry. According to her analysis, the core objective is to challenge India's growing power and prevent its rise as a dominant force in South Asia

> Dharmendra Pradhan brought UGC rules
> UCs opposed the rule
> UCs asked for permission to protest
> Permission denied, leaders house arrested
> Neeland group supported Pradhan
Now, UGC rules has been stayed by SC and the same Neeland group that supported Pradhan is out on the streets demanding his resignation
Brhamins' curse is real;
छात्रों का प्रोटेस्ट धीरे धीरे वामपंथियों के प्रोटेस्ट में बदल गया है।
वही ढपली गैंग, वही आजादी गैंग, वही सनातन विरोधी, वही भारत विरोधी, सब एक हो गए हैं।
ये सिर्फ छात्रों का आंदोलन होता तो कुछ और बात होती।
VIDEO | Indian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Sangram Singh scripted history as he defeated Pakistan's Mohammed Abid Ali via a stunning knockout in just one minute and 20 seconds to clinch the prestigious STRIKE Asia Championship title on Sunday. He says, "This victory was very special for me because wherever I go, I always try to uphold the pride of the 145 crore Indians. Our flag has always inspired and motivated us. I landed a few good punches in this bout as well. But the biggest dream was that I made my debut in Pakistan and fought against a Pakistani opponent. Today, I became the first Indian to win the Strike MMA Asia Championship. We won this bout against Pakistan in just 20 seconds. I believe this victory will inspire many young people. Age is just a number. Passion has no age. We can fulfil our dreams at any stage of life."

She is Neha Bora, president of AISA, a far-left student org from JNU. Today is the 22nd day of her indefinite hunger strike.
The left picture is from the day she began the hunger strike; the right one is from today. That's not how someone who hasn't eaten for 22 days would typically look. She should have lost around 8–10 kg by now and be looking much more frail, lethargic and toxic. Instead, she looks almost the same, maybe have added a kg or two instead.
What sorcery is this?
