[Amit Schandillia @Schandillia]

When Muslim rulers demolished Hindu temples, they either built mosques on site or used materials from the demolished temples to build mosques elsewhere. Terrible, but some did even worse.

They built graveyards.

Sikandar Shah Miri demolished Hindu temples and earned the title of Butshikan or “idol breaker.” One of the temples he tore down was turned into a tomb for his wife.

On site.

Later his son would be buried within the same complex.
Imagine a literal burial ground right where a place of worship hitherto stood. Can’t blame Zain-ul-Abidin though, he did all he could to undo his father’s crimes. Abolished jizya, invited Pandits back to the valley, and even sponsored major temple restorations.

The travesty Kashmiri Pandits have suffered is beyond comprehension.

Now that they have finalised the headline introducing Pallavi Joshi as ‘Vivek Agnihotri’s wife’, they can quickly move on to writing that essay about women’s agency and smashing patriarchy.

@Schandillia history classes were a literal snoozefest back in school. today, when no one is forcing me to study the subject, i am getting drawn to it all the more.

[Tunisha Mehta @tunishamehta]

[DE-POLITICIZE HISTORY]

Don’t fix history. Introduce historiography. History will fix itself.

Don’t teach them who wronged whom. Teach them how to find out. Teach source hierarchy…primary, secondary, tertiary. Teach reference management. Teach bias engineering. Teach evidence. Teach textual interpretations. Teach etymology. Teach falsifiability. Teach corroboration. Teach deduction. Teach educated guesswork. Teach logical fallacies. Teach research.

Teach first principles.

Give kids the mechanics of inference instead of a finished script for passive consumption. A mind trained in logic and reason naturally rejects manufactured narratives. It learns to interrogate its sources and reject what doesn’t track.

What we do right now in academia is storytelling, that too in the most dead-end this-is-it format possible. This makes history curriculum both boring in consumption and fertile in propaganda.

Bring the rigor of science to humanities.

For your own good.

Most people treat a zero-failure record as a flex. In computer science, there is a sharper perspective famously known as "Umeshisms."

During his PhD at UC Berkeley under quantum computing pioneer Umesh Vazirani, computer scientist Scott Aaronson noted an aphorism his advisor loved to repeat:

"If you have never missed a flight, you are spending too much time in airports."

The math logic is simple: a 0% miss rate often means you are overpaying in friction, prep time, and missed opportunity. Occasional failure is often the price of a better expected-value tradeoff.

Aaronson named these "Umeshisms" in a 2005 blog post and penned a few sequels in the same spirit:

- "If you have never been rejected, you are not asking enough."

- "If you never cut yourself while shaving, you are not shaving close enough."

The lesson is recognizing when extreme risk aversion costs you more than the risk itself.

Hating on a guy , whose entire life has been devoted to building our national security infrastructure because he is human and did what most humans do- eat a snack in between a gruelling schedule

Congress main opposition to BRICS
1) why no mutton burra
2) why eating snacks

Next Time:

GoI should label the snacks as
“Not for eating, only for decoration”

Where the lord #Ganesha sits in calm atmosphere. 1100 year old Ganesha idol in Bastar #forest. The idol, made during the time of Nagvanshi dynasty, is placed atop a ‘dhol’ shaped hill that lies 14 km inside the forest.
