@Telugu_Heritage@baghadharijaici Also the Urjam and Tekkali inscriptions have Odia. Even Lingaraj Temple Bhubaneswar has Odia inscription. Sanskrit was official language of Odisha until the Gajapati kings - Many inscriptions were in Sanskrit.
@Telugu_Heritage@baghadharijaici Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Temple: Situated in Simhachalam, it houses a massive collection of records. Several pillars contain eulogies written in Sanskrit and Odia, detailing donations made by Ganga queens like Nilamani Pattamahadei.
Latur, Maharashtra Police !
Are we waiting for people to die at the hands of such Police Officers ?
When are we going to say enough is enough ?
The role of the traffic police is to regulate traffic, enforce road safety, and issue penalties (challans) for violations.
They do not have the authority to inflict physical punishment on citizens. Any act of physical violence by an officer is a violation of the law and human rights.
Right to Due Process: If a rider fails to stop, the legal recourse for the police is to note the vehicle's registration number, track the owner, and issue a challan or summon the individual to court.
Gurugram-based Vivek Agarwal and seven of his family members were staying at Hotel Flourish Stays because Vivek's father was undergoing treatment in the ICU at the nearby Max Hospital.
All eight died. Entire family wiped out!
And now the ritual begins, ₹4 lakh compensation, an inquiry, promises of strict action. None of it matters now.
These were not accidental deaths. They were preventable deaths caused by greed, negligence, and a complete collapse of accountability. If the hotel owners had even a shred of conscience, if the officials responsible for inspections and enforcement had done their jobs honestly instead of looking the other way, this family might still be alive.
We are the last generation of Hindus in Odisha, who were middle class and could go to Shri Mandira as many times as we wanted in a day. If in Puri, it used to be four to five times a day. Go in do darshan, come back, go in evening, stroll around take the feeling of evening
Proto-Elamite?
The Pashupati seal has an elephant, a water buffalo and a rhinoceros. Ancient Elam was centred in southwestern Iran. Elephants, water buffalos and rhinoceroses are not native to ancient Elam. BTW, they are native to India. Also, the figure is seated in a Yogic posture. Is Yoga also Elamite now? Seriously?
Your profile says you are a professor. I don't mean to sound rude, but your students deserve a refund. And seriously, Western universities need to improve their hiring practices.
Last week, had an Urban Company Carpenter visit our house to perform the following repairs.
Kitchen cabinets
• 20-30 hinges
• 2-3 channels
The young bloke, maybe GenZ, quoted ₹5000 and said he will fix the entire kitchen.
My wife said it's too much, as there is no new installation work and it's mostly fixing and tightening.
He said then please call somebody else, as he will not do it below this price. We let him go as we had no urgency to fix this.
Then, we asked for a local Carpenter reference in our RWA groups and got one.
Today, the local Carpenter came. A slightly aged man but with decades of experience.
He saw the same work and quoted just ₹800. I was amazed!!!
Apart from the kitchen work, carpenter uncle also fixed a bunch of our door handles at the same cost.
I will definitely not call Urban Company professionals like carpenter, plumber, electrician for any multiple odd jobs going forward.
Your friendly local neighbourhood professional will cost you a fraction!
PS: This single experience has completely negated my positive view on UC as an investment idea as well.
Well done, Arjun. ❤️
Proud of the way you’ve carried yourself through this season, always believing in your ability, staying patient, working hard quietly, and remaining positive despite having to wait for your opportunity till the very last match.
Cricket tests patience as much as skill, and you handled both beautifully today.
Keep your feet on the ground, and continue being in love with the game like you always have.
Love you always.👏
A prominent influencer, @theskindoctor13, was arrested by the Delhi Police today on a baseless and frivolous case. When the night magistrate gave him bail within 5 hours at 10 PM tonight, it was made clear by the honorable court that he did not do anything wrong.
Advocate @RaviSharmaTalks ably assisted by @sidcool2302 appeared on behalf of the influencer. Sources say that the Delhi Police was pulled up by the court and asked who pressured them to carry out the arrest.
The case has no legal grounds, none whatsoever. But there is more to this than what meets the eye. Why was he arrested in such haste? Who ordered his arrest? More questions will be asked and more answers will come out soon.

मैंने कभी सोचा भी नहीं था कि मेरे खिलाफ इतना बड़ा षड्यंत्र रचा जाएगा।
> सबसे पहले मेरा फ़र्ज़ी ट्वीट का स्क्रीनशॉट बनाया जाता है।
> फिर उसी फ़र्ज़ी स्क्रीनशॉट को सोशल मीडिया पर फैलाया जाता है।
> मैंने उस फ़र्ज़ी स्क्रीनशॉट के खिलाफ साइबर शिकायत दर्ज कराई।
> लेकिन उस पर कोई कार्रवाई नहीं हुई, कोई मदद नहीं मिली।
> उस फ़र्ज़ी स्क्रीनशॉट को आधार बनाकर @NCSC_GoI स्वतः संज्ञान लेता है।
> इसके बाद दिल्ली पुलिस SC/ST एक्ट का नोटिस भेजती है।
> मामले में नॉन-बेलेबल धाराएँ जोड़ दी जाती हैं।
> और अंत में Twitter से मेरी सारी निजी जानकारी माँगी जाती है।
> अब अगला कदम शायद मेरी गिरफ्तारी ही होगा।
@DelhiPolice & @NCSC_GoI - दोनों ही BJP सरकार के अंतर्गत आते हैं।
यह एक सोची-समझी साज़िश है, जिसका उद्देश्य मुझे जेल भेजना है - ताकि आने वाले समय में कोई भी सवर्ण समाज की आवाज़ उठाने का साहस न कर सके।
#SCSTActMisuse
Few days ago, common people were being insulted in front of their kids for clicking pictures at Gurudwara by Sewadars. Now a celebrity doing same with total impunity.
Gurus taught us to not discriminate between people. Make of this what you will.
Temple being maintained by ASI doesn't imply anything. It is terracotta temple of later mediaeval period. Temples are Keduli sasana are from 10th century CE and an excavation site. None of the Gaudiya Vaishnava from Odisha agrees with you. It is a Bengal specific folktale
Odisha’s iconic street food Dahibara Aloodum got completely sold out at Chef Vikas Khanna’s restaurant, Bungalow, in New York.
Just look at how people are enjoying it!
From the streets of Cuttack to the heart of New York, Dahibara Aloodum has come a long way.
So British missionaries like Caldwell invented a "Dravidian" identity for Tamils, claiming they were non-Hindus oppressed by "Aryan Brahmins."
This divide, pushed via education & politics (Periyar, DMK), separated Tamil culture from Hinduism, to ease Christian conversions.
Excellent thread by @Starboy2079
Indian cuisine conversations often revolve around Punjabi, South Indian or Bengali food. Odiya cuisine deserves a much bigger place on that table.
What struck me most was its restraint. No overload of cream, butter or chillies. Just balance, mustard, fermentation, texture and freshness.
Dahi Bara Aloo Dum (popular street food), Drumstick-Brinjal Besara, Chhena Tarkari, Chakuli Pitha (like dosa) Aloo Patra Besara… all made at home.
A Hindu girl was forced to remove her Kanthi (Tulsi) mala during the NEET exam in Surat.
Her father courageously protested: “I am the son of a Hindu and I am standing in Surat, not in Lahore, Karachi, or Pakistan."
He said — "You people cannot remove hijab and burqa, but you have the guts to remove the Tulsi mala from my daughter’s neck!”
