DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUGHALS SULTAN- DHAVA AND MARATHAS GANIMI KAWA

A 🧵u must read

Sultan Dhava is a word for large scale battle

Here two armies will meet each other at a point prior to the battle with a huge manpower.

1/12

There will be battles at daybreak, rest in night, and the entire battle field will be felt like a game of chess between the opposing armies.

Here one unit attacks other unit and only strategy and numbers matter. Along with other factors such as technology.

2/12

These kinds of battle are great if two empires are similar in size or there is a seige battle on land forts and castles. ( but, it's not suitable for seiges if the castles are on hills or near water bodies, example failed seige of Ramsej)

3/12

All this is very dependent on logistics and strategy which is time consuming but very effective.

4/12

GANIMI KAVA - guerrilla warfare

Used initially by Maharana Pratap to recover his kingdom .

While in full scale battle the military would have state of the art armour and weapons, the guerrilla force has what's most easy to make yet effective like simple lightweight swords .

WHY DID THE GUPTA EMPIRE FALL ?

A🧵

There are many reasons for the fall of Gupta rule in India.

One of the most prominent answer is due to a series of invasions carried out by the Hepthalites and later the alchon huns.

Guptas at their maximum extent 👇

1/10

During the reign of Skandagupta (who is considered the last great king of Gupta dynasty).

He is most famously remembered for his defense of the empire during the Hepthalite invasion of India.

Gupta light Skirmishers 👇

2/10

You have to know that the Hepthalites were no easy EMPIRE. They had defeated the Persian empire of the Sassanian dynasty multiple times and at one point even took their king at ransom.

Hepthalite empire 👇

3/10

So you can see how strong the Hepthalites really were. Skandagupta’s defence is a remarkable feat of achievement but it drained the empire's coffers.

After the Skandagupta mostly later Gupta kings took control but many were considered drastically weak.

4/10

And then again as the empire was reeling in, the alchon huns came to destroy it.

Once the again the king marched their armies and Bhanugupta defeated the Hunnic King Toramana.

EXPLANATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF DARK MATTER AND DARK ENERGY !

A 🧵 u must read

What Is Dark Energy ?

More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the universe's expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery.

1/9

But it is an important mystery. It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the universe.

2/9

This diagram reveals changes in the rate of expansion since the universe's birth 15 billion years ago. The more shallow the curve, the faster the rate of expansion. The curve changes noticeably about 7.5 billion years ago, when objects in the universe began flying apart as

3/9

a faster rate. Astronomers theorize that the faster expansion rate is due to a mysterious, dark force that is pulling galaxies apart.

WHAT OUR SANATAN DHARMA SAYS IN THIS CONTEXT LET’S TAKE A LOOK

The verses of Taittiriya Aranyaka say that only one pada of the Lord

4/9

is this manifested universe and the remaining three padas are outside it.

According to the observations and realizations of ancient seers, nearly eighty percent of this universe is yet of unknown nature which remains inactive during the process of creation (rather, evolution).

Do u know in olden times Kashmir was called Satidesa & was a vast lake ?

Kashmir was once a part of a land that remained submerged in the Tethys Sea for about 900 million years during the Geological Period.

1/

During the Pliocene Age, this area emerged as a vast sweet-water lake covering almost the entire valley of Kashmir. As per findings of the geologists, the age of this ancient lake was more than a million years.

2/

The depth of the alluvium had been nearly 6,000 feet and also the vast Karewa deposits abounding in the area points towards the existence of a vast lake (which nearly was 1000 feet above the present level) that filled the entire length and breadth of the Valley.

3/

The physiography of Kashmir therefore indicates that the Valley and the great lake that preceded was of tectonic origin. This lake was traditionally known as Satisar (The Lake of the Goddess Sati). While referring to Satidesa (Kashmir) and its formation,

4/

the Nilmat Purana the most important source of information on ancient Kashmir says:

“With the body in the style of a boat, goddess Sati becomes the earth and a lake of clear water, known as Satidesh, six yojnas (about 90 kms) long and half of that in breadth (about 45 kms),

WEAPONS OF MAHADEV

Sarvaripati Shiva is one of the most fearsome manifestations of Mahadev. Assigned with destroying all of the universes at the end of time, Shiva is one of the most fearsome warriors. He is the Mrityunjaya.
Here are some weapons associated with him:

TRISHULA: the 3 pointed blades denote creation, maintenance, and destruction or the 3 Kalas – Past, Present and Future. They also represent 3 Gunas – Sattva, Rajas and Tamas).
Shiva’s trishul can only be stopped by Shiva himself.
@onlyonenetra @DetheEsha

Trishul is also said to represent Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. These are the three basic nadis – the left, the right and the central – in the pranamaya kosha, or the energy body of the human system.
@iamkamyabuch @unever_followme

PARASHU: axe with 4 cutting edges which Shiva gave to Parashurama. In his anger, Parashurama used the parashu to get rid of the all the Earth’s tyrannical kshatriya caste twenty-one times over.
@harshasherni

CHANDRAHASA SWORD: The divine sword Chandrahasa literally means ‘the laughter of the moon’. Ravana gave this sword to Indrajit on different occasions especially to fight against Devas.
GIRISH: A special sword of Shiva with unique characteristics.
