Don't distort history.
Persian historical sources themselves admit that chess was invented in India. The original Indian game was called चतुरङ्ग (chaturanga), meaning 4 divisions of the army - with classical elements of ancient Indian warfare like the Padāti/infantry, Aśva/cavalry, Gaja/elephants & Ratha/chariots. The game simulated battle strategy, which is why its logic resembles warfare. It was played by the royalty and taught as an essential part of a Hindu king's education.

The Middle Persian (Pahlavi) text - Wizārishn ī Chatrang ud Nēw-Ardashīr (“Explanation of Chess and the Invention of Backgammon”) written in 7th–8th c. CE describes clearly how chess came from India to the Persian court. An Indian king that Persians called Dābsalm (a Maukhari dynasty ruler from Kanauj) sent the game to the Sasanian ruler Khosrow I Anushirvan (r. 531–579 CE). The Persian court had to figure out the rules. The vizier Bozorgmehr solved the puzzle, after which Persia supposedly invented backgammon & sent it back to India.

Later Persian texts like the Mujmal at-Tawārīkh wa-l-Qiṣaṣ retell the same details attributing the first introduction of chess in Persia to the Indian king. The story itself makes it clear that Persians were encountering the Indian game for the first time and had to figure out its rules.

India also has a far more ancient archaeological tradition of proto-chess type complex board games. Excavations at Indus Valley sites such as Mohenjo-daro and Lothal (c. 2500 BCE) have uncovered game boards with chess grids and gaming pieces that demonstrate how sophisticated rule-based board games were already part of Indian culture over 4000 years ago. India has a very ancient indigenous tradition of strategic board games like chaturanga.

The original Indian chess called chaturanga, spread west to Persia as chatrang, then to the Islamic world as shatranj, and finally Europe, eventually evolving into modern chess. Bottom line is that even within Persian history itself, we find that chess is explicitly described as a strategic game that was invented in India centuries before and later adopted by Persians.

Chess is a 100% Indian invention as demonstrated irrefutably by historical evidence, period.

1857. Delhi falls. Britishers appoints Looters with official orders: loot the city.

Not rogue soldiers. Not collateral damage. A government-sanctioned Prize Committee.

£500,000 recorded. Gold melted. Jalis stripped. Manuscripts shipped to London. Nawabs who spied for the Crown? Looted anyway.

Nadir Shah sacked Delhi in 1739. We remember him as the barbarian.

Britain did the same in 1857 — with paperwork. 💰🏛️📜

We call one invasion. We call the other civilization.

Colonial loot is the best-documented crime in Indian history — because the criminals wrote it down

Breaking the Left created historical lie that Portuguese introduced cottage cheese/paneer to India ~

The truth is that the Harappan/SSVC people were making cottage cheese or paneer more than 4500 years back.

In 2020, the researchers at the University of Toronto Mississauga, said that the Indus-Saraswati Valley Civilization, was the earliest known producer of dairy and dairy products.

The Harappans did not just use dairy for their household. There are evidences of large herds that indicate milk was produced in surplus so that it could be traded. This trading would have given rise to an industrial level of dairy farming.

So next time you eat paneer, remember our ancestors were eating the same thing more than 4500 years back !

@gargiuvacha All well and good until you say 'Prithviraj was betrayed'. If you are also implying that Jaichand betrayed him then you would be far from the truth. Such a careless remark from a person of your stature is unexpected. I am hoping it is not based on the bardic 'Prithviraj Raso'.

Why Every Hindu Festival Faces Court Petition?

#longthread 🧵

Thread on truth, double standards, and how Sanatan traditions are slowly pushed to the edge - not by swords, but by signatures.

Why is Sanatan always in the courtroom?

From Diwali to Dahi Handi…
From Ganesh Visarjan to Holi colours…
From firecrackers to temple processions…

Every time Hindu society prepares to celebrate,
a PIL comes. A petition comes. A ban comes.

In the name of noise. Pollution. Safety. Animals. Modernity.

No one says “Don’t celebrate.”
They just say “Not like this.” “Not here.” “Not now.”

And slowly, our entire festival life is being walked into courtrooms.

Why? Let’s open the eyes together 👇

On This Day, August 2, 1998
Chamba, Himachal Pradesh witnessed one of its darkest nights, now buried under decades of silence.

Islmst trrorists from Hizbul Mujahideen stormed the remote villages of Satrundi and Kalaban in the dead of night. Armed and ruthless, they gathered 35 Hindu villagers, lined them up, and executed them on the spot for no other reason than their faith.

𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻, 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗩𝗲𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘀:

🧵 1/2 …
I have often seen Leftists-Islamists put in the argument that Hindu Women have no right to recite mantras. One of the quotes they use to validate their argument is from Manusmriti, which says:

“Nāsti strīṇām kriyā mantreiriti dharme vyavasthitaḥ।
Nirindriyā hyamantrāśca striyo’nṛtamiti sthitiḥ॥”
— Manusmriti 9/18

Meaning: Women cannot perform rituals that involve mantras. Their inner self cannot be purified through such rites since they are not eligible to study the Vedas. Therefore, they cannot be considered learned in religious matters. They have no right to chant mantras, and if they sin, they cannot cleanse it through mantra recitation. Hence, they are considered insignificant or unworthy.

📍However, while quoting such words one needs to know that

Rishi Manu himself was well versed in the Vedas, and in Manusmriti itself, he clearly stated :

“Vedokhilo dharmamūlam”
— Manusmriti 2/6

This means, the Vedas are the root of Dharma (righteousness). In matters of Dharma, the Vedas are the highest authority.

📍📍 𝗔𝗻𝘆 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱.

📍Vyasa muni also states in ‘Vyasa Smriti’ (1/4):

“Shruti-smriti-purāṇānāṃ virodho yatra dṛśyate।
Tatra śrautaṃ pramāṇaṃ tu tayoḥ dwaidhe smṛtirvarā॥”

Meaning: If there is ever a conflict between Shruti (Vedas), Smriti (like Manusmriti), and Puranas, the words of the Shruti (Vedas) must be accepted as final. Between Smriti and Purana, Smriti is preferred.

📍The Vedas themselves clearly state that both men and women have the right to study them:

“Yathe māṃ vācaṃ kalyāṇīm āvadānī janebhyaḥ।
Brahma rājyābhyāṃ śūdrāya chāryāya cha svāya cha raṇāya cha।
Priyo devānāṃ dakṣiṇāyai dātur iha bhūyasam ayaṃ me kāmaṃ samṛdhyatām upa mādo namatu॥”
— Yajurveda 26|2

Meaning: The Divine says—“O people! Just as I impart this sacred and benevolent Vedic knowledge to Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras, women, and others, you too must spread this wisdom equally. Just as I have become dear to the wise by spreading the Vedas, you too should strive for the same. My wish is for the Vedic wisdom to spread everywhere, bringing liberation and happiness to all.”

📍If women truly had no right to chant mantras, how could female sages like Gargi, Lopamudra, and the 33 female seers (Rishikas) had become seers of mantras (Mantra Drashtas)?

📍In Valmiki Ramayana, when Sri Rama visited his mother Kaushalya during his exile, it is mentioned that she was chanting mantras:

“Agniṃ juhoti sma tadā kṛtamangalā”
— Valmiki Ramayana 2|20|15

Meaning: She was performing an Agnihotra fire ritual while chanting Vedic mantras.

📍Similarly, in Shatapatha Brahmana 2|6|2|13, women are seen chanting the famous Mahamrityunjaya Mantra during rituals.

Why Must Hindu Rituals Always Prove Themselves to Be Respected?

#longthread

A Christian lights a candle in church - it’s devotion.
A Muslim bows in prayer - it’s discipline.
But a Hindu lights a diya or chants a mantra - the world asks,

“Is this even scientific?”
“Why are you doing this?”
“Do you even know the logic?”

Why? Why are Hindu rituals always forced to prove their worth?

Let’s break this down - not with anger, but with truth.

$200K Mukaish Coat
How Dior “Stole” the Show with Indian Craft

After Prada’s Kohlapuri controversy, French luxury brand Dior is facing backlash after unveiling a $200,000 coat featuring traditional Indian Mukaish embroidery at Paris Fashion Week. Despite reportedly employing 12 skilled Indian artisans who spent over a month crafting the piece, Dior failed to acknowledge the Indian heritage or credit the craftsmen.

This isn’t Dior’s or luxury fashion’s first controversy involving cultural appropriation, sparking debates on the ethics of high fashion borrowing from traditional crafts without recognition.
