The serial "Punyashlok Ahilyabai" depicts her as ultra secularist feminazi icon who questions Hindu rituals & Pandits while patronising Sufis.
This is far from historical truth!
Today is Jayanti of Ahilyabai Holkar
She was a widow who became Malwa's greatest queen. Defended our country & personally led armies into battle.Never plundered anyone. Developed Malwa into a prosperous kingdom. Rebuilt temples destroyed by Mughals. Built Dharmashalas at Tirthas
The serial "Punyashlok Ahilyabai" depicts her as ultra secularist feminazi icon who questions Hindu rituals & Pandits while patronising Sufis.
This is far from historical truth!
She was from Dhangar clan(classified as OBC today). While Dhangars were traditionally into herding, they took up arms & held several military /civil roles in various eras of history(especially during Maratha resurgence)
By the time she was married, fortunes of Holkar family had already waxed.
Malhar Rao was a Subedar of territory comprising 30 Parganas yielding a revenue of at least 7 Lakh
This began rise of Indore from its background as modest trading town Indrapuri to a great city
She had already become extremely popular due to her policy of mercy and justice towards people.
The siege failed. The great Jat Maharaja Suraj Mal even constructed Samadhi for his opponent. But Ahilyabai became a widow
People requested her not to commit Sati.
But she said
" He pledged to accompany me life long. Now he has left midway. Hence, it is proper for me to commit Sati"
He said
"Daughter, my son left me. If you leave me too, I will be without support. Let me die first"
This fervent appeal forced Ahilyabai to give up her decision of committing Sati.
This letter in 1765 from Malhar Rao addressed to Ahilyabai throws light on the situation. He sends her on a military expedition to Gwalior with big artillery
This is a fitting testament that a woman from a humble origins could run important departments of the state in premodern Hindu India
During the same time, Ahilyabai Holkar captured Gohad fort (near Gwalior). Malhar Rao in his letter instructed her to "manufacture gun balls and balls of smaller size".
Malhar Rao's letters clearly show it was Ahilyabai who captured Gwalior and secured it for Holkar kingdom.
Ahilyabai's strength was her artillery.
Ahilyabai's son Maloji then became Governor. He was distressed at the loss of his grandfather & unprepared.
Ahilyabai sent a very hearty & inspirational letter urging her son not to think of past & direct his thoughts to management of state
Then, rather than adopt an heir, Ahilyabai petitioned the Peshwa to rule the Holkar lands herself.
Ahilyabai already had an established record of military & civil competence.
She was now the defacto Holkar ruling queen of Maheshwar
She pardoned rebel Chandrawat chiefs and granted them 31 villages. But they rebelled again. She crushed them militarily, forced a treaty & punished the rebel chiefs. Complete victory was secured.
However, even after crushing the Chandrawats, she chose to stick to her policy of mercy & pardon. Once again, she forgave and reinstated the Chandrawat chief and a dress of honor was given to him.
The Chandrawats did not rebel again
She frequently wrote letters asking about the welfare of women and children of rival chiefs who were imprisoned in jail.
She made sure the prisoners received adequate amount of food.
Such a benevolent gesture is hardly with a parallel in those days of loot, plunder and mayhem.
While she worked hard to run the affairs of the state, she never burdened people.
When a specific year did not witness much rain,she did not tax her farmers even a penny.
People saw Rajmata as their own mother
Her "palace" is shockingly modest & simple
She used to live in a small residence in Maheshwar. She never built anything for herself.
Her "throne" was just a simple chair & did not have a single ornament
She then heard the recitation of Puranas and donated to brahmins before consuming breakfast.
She forsake non-veg food, onion and garlic.
Except during durbar, she never sat on throne.
She wore plain white and slept on the floor.
Without her, ALL Tirthas would have been in ruins and there wouldn't be any standing temple.
Map showing temples built by her
She constructed Somnath Mahadev Mandir opposite the (erstwhile) mosque and installed the Linga there.
Many Hindus believe this temple houses the original Somnath Jyotirlinga
She rebuilt temple & constructed Pushkarini.
Wherever possible, Ahilyabai honored local tradition and built the temple according to regional style and custom
The present temple at Omkareshwar was built by Ahilyabai Holkar. She also presented the silver murti
Here is the letter from Maratha ambassador requesting the intervention of Ahilyabai Holkar to rebuild the temple and construct repair works.
The present standing temple was built by her
It was Ahilyabai who constructed the current temple of Kashi Vishvanath right next to mosque.
It is all thanks to Ahilyabai Holkar that Hindus can still worship at Kashi Vishnvanath
The present Manikarnika Ghat with its temples was built by Ahilyabai Holkar
The Taraka linga is intalled in this temple. It is believe that Shiva here chants Taraka mantra in the ear of departed which leadrrs to liberation.
The present Tarakeshwara temple was built by Ahilyabai Holkar
Inside Brahmapuri she built Annapurna temple where 24*7 Annadana (even at night) was provided to pilgrims.
It was rebuilt by Ahilyabai Holkar.
Today, most tourist to Ellora caves situated less than a kilometer away do not even know of this temple
It is believed by many devout Hindus that Bhimashankar linga is the original Lingodbhava Murti
It is believed by devout Hindus that this temple houses footprints of Vishnu.
After the reconstruction of this temple, Hindus were able to commence their shraddha and Pinda funeral rites in Gaya again.
She promoted weaving and textiles by offering them concessions, advance and security.
The famous Maheshwari saree industry owes its origin and growth to her.
According to a tradition, the first saree was designed by her
Scholars from all over India flocked to her court where they were given due respect and rehabilitation. She personally crowned Vedic scholars & washed their feet
Ahilyabai's own letters show that she styled herself as "Protector of cows and Brahmins"
Indore became a very safe and prosperous city under her rule and people from Bombay, Surat and Pune used to settle here
According to this scheme, farmers had to pay no fixed tax but 5/12 only when there were rains and the crop was abundant!
Farmers prospered. No trader tax beyond custom. Her subjects weren't afraid to display wealth.

The official name of this mosque is "Atala Devi Masjid".
It still stands on the pillars of the Hindu temple that originally stood at this site.

"Even in the 19th century, no Hindu called it by the name 'Jaunpur'".
"The local Sharqi Sultans were great destroyers, and every mosque in Jaunpur was built on an existing Hindu temple"
- Archaeological survey of India report
"There is a Sanskrit inscription dating back to 8th century in the Southern Gate of the Jaunpur's Jami mosque".

He ordered the temple to be destroyed immediately.
But Hindus violently attacked the workmen & pelted the emperor with stones.
Hindus were initially victorious"

Jama Masjid of Jaunpur is regarded as an eye-catching, creative and artistic attraction. It is adorned with Egyptian style engravings.

FAKE quote!
Such a verse is NOT FOUND in any authentic Ravidas Bani.
Nowhere in his poems does Sant Ravidas say "I proclaim all Vedas as worthless".
This is a new scam in the market. Appropriation of Hindu history and Hindu saints by anti Hindus to boost their own legacy.
What Sant Ravidas actually said (when he was asked to convert to Islam by Lodhi):
"The religion of the Vedas is the greatest. It is the treasure trove of matchless knowledge.Why then will I abandon the Vedic Dharmic and read the untrue Quran?"
From Ravidas Ramayana(16th cent):
False quotes denigrating Hinduism are circulated in the name of Sant Ravidas as he was a great Hindu Sant from Dalit background.
This represents a challenge to people who want to spin the caste narrative of opposition of Dalits to Hinduism. They want to break this connection

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.
