As discussed earlier, I am writing a #Thread on how Swαmy entered Harvard University. As per claims, Swαmy got full scholarship frm Harvard. I took this SS from official VHS website which says Swαmy got full scholarship frm 'Rockefeller Foundation' & not frm Harvard University 🤷🏻‍♂️

What is Khαlιsταn..?

Through my detailed #thread I am going to make some shocking revelations to you all. It may send shivers down your spine. Conspiracy is much bigger than what you imagine

This thread is based on journalist Conor Cruise O'brien report for The Atlantic in 1988

First we need to understand where did the idea for Khαlιsταn come from. Sικhism was formed in 15th century by Guru Nanak who was a Hindu & his followers were also Hindu, to unite against Mυghαls. But it was the 6th Guru which made religion enter into politics, later into military

6th Guru 2 terms Miri & Piri, 10th Guru Gobind Singh is called as Miri Piri ka Malik, means he brought military & spirituality in Sικhism, he said God is sword & sword is God. Hence, Khαlιsταnιs chant Raj karega Khalsa
Hence these words are used by Khαlιsταnιs to justify violence

During British Raj, Sικhs started considering themselves as partners in governance. British were impressed by courage & martial powers displayed by Sικhs in Anglo-Sικh war, they recruited Sικh in military & Sικhs supporterd British in 1857 mutiny by going against fellow soldiers

During the time of independence, Sικhs were in dilemma coz MυsIims didn't want Sικhs, in independent Khαlιsταn they would have been outnumbered by Paxtαn whereas India offered them equal rights, hence they decided to join India. But they always wanted autonomy from India.

Whenever we discuss about Mahabharata, we discuss same characters again & again. I thought we should discuss about lesser known but significant characters.

My #thread on Shalya, he was Charioteer of Karna & how he played an important role in the duel between Arjun & Karna. 👇🏼

Shalya was King of province called Madra. He was also known as Madra Naresh and he was the brother of Queen Madri, 2nd wife of King Pandu & Maternal Uncle of Nakul & Sahdev.

Pandavas called him Mama. Mama Shalya had pledged his supports to Pandavas, but then comes a twist.

Pandavas had gathered 7 Akshauhini Sena, while Kauravas had 9 Akshauhini Sena

According to epic Mahabarta, one Akshauhini contains four different types of armed forces
 21,870 chariots
 21,870 elephants
 65,616 horses
 109350 infantry

Pandavas knew Shalya has 2 Akshauhini Sena

With Mama Shalya joining Pandavas, things would have been squared at 9 Akshauhini Sena each. But Shakuni tricked him.

While Shalya was travelling towards Kurukshetra, Shakuni arranged excellent hospitality for him along the road for him & his Sena. Shalya was highly impressed.

Shalya was under the impression that this has been arranged by Yudhistir. After Madri went Sati, Nakul & Sahdev lived with Kunti instead of living with their uncle. Hence Shalya barely got chance to meet his nephews

He met Duryodhana on his arrival & he thought it was Yudhistir

I would like to present on my #Thread on highly overrated Prime Minister from Congress, PV Narismha Rao. Many BJP supporters also get carried away with some asking for Bharat Ratna 🙄

I will try to present few facts on how PVNR was nothing but yet another failure from Congress.

I would first like to start on why Rao was chosen for the job in 1991.
Forever Prime Minister in waiting Shri Sharad Pawar has alleged in his book that Arjun Singh convinced Sonia Gandhi that Rao will be lame duck Prime Minister & Rao will make way for Arjun Singh to be Cong head

But Rao, didn't step down frm the position of the Party President and this started an internal tussle between then senior Congress leaders & they all formed regional parties. There are two reasons for it, one they were against Rao & 2nd they wanted to get minority votes post 1992

Now lets looks at Rao's role in Barbie demolition, many say Rao was in favour of demolition & some Congress ppl allege that Rao could have saved the demolition by suspending the UP govt, some say he was happy with the demolition.

Its all lie, I will explain you in detail

PVNR was basically in checkmate situation in 1992, whr he had 2 options:
1- He could hav used military against Ram Bhakts, whr he feared military will not fire on ppl chanting Jay Shree Ram
2- Take strict action post demolition to pacify Mυzlims by taking action

He went for 2nd

This is slightly a different topic, but I thought this is important topic to be discussed. In my opinion Indian culture is totally different than western countries & our economy can never be compared to theirs. I may be wrong, but I am going to list out top 15 reasons in #Thread

1st

Bread vs Roti

Homemade Roti is good is taste & very healthy food, but in western countries including lsIamic countries mainly rely on bread. Bakery business in US is worth $450 billion

If Indians switch to bread instead of rice/roti then we add $1 trillion to economy 🤷🏻‍♂️

2nd

Fast Food Industry

While we Indians love our mom made & homemade food, western countries mainly rely on fast food or processed food industry for their daily meals. Fast food industry in US is worth $250 billion

With Zomato culture creeping in, but we will stick to roots

3rd

Processed food

If you are bored of eating pizza or sandwiches, just walk to the nearest supermarket and pick your favourite packaged from the shop and save your cooking efforts.
You will get almost everything you could imagine
Packaged food industry in US worth $800 billion

4th

Processed Meat

Trust me this is my last tweet on food in this thread 😐

Processed meat industry is worth almost $400 billion.

So by not cooking food at home, can fetch US around $2 Trillion 😅. We Indians will stick to homemade shudh desi food and rightly so.

My Op-ed on yesterday's attack on Shobha Yatras across many states.

I will try to cover why a particular community is feeling so agitated in the present scenario.

This is my personal opinion, so you can feel free to counter, make suggestions or add your own points.

Let's look at this situation from the recently concluded 5 state elections. Whr BJP won 4 states out of 5. The 5th state which was won by AAP has very less presence of that community, so it doesn't bother them much but the biggest state which has hurt them is Uttar Pradesh.

For almost 70 years they had a dominant presence in Uttar Pradesh politics, be it Congress, SP or BSP, they had a sizeable represention in the govt & in the assembly. But in post 2017, their presence from the assembly has diminished & this pattern will be replicated across India

Recent attacks were seen in Rajasthan, MP, Gujarat which are going for state elections next. Most likely results of UP will be replicated & other state is Jharkhand whr change of guard is speculated in media. Let's see why state elections could be one of the reason of frustration

Let's look at some of their strong or so called Bahubali netas in Hindi heartland. Azam Khan, Atique Ahmad, Mukhtar Ansari, Mohammed Shahabuddin, etc

All these are criminals turned politician who enjoy tremendous support in their home constituencies & in minority dominated areas

Charles Ponzi and the Postal Service

The story of the man who put the 'Ponzi' in 'Ponzi scheme'

/THREAD/

1/ Carlo Pietro Giovanni Guglielmo Tebaldo Ponzi, a.k.a. Charles Ponzi, was an italian swindler and con-artist.

Born in 1882 in Italy, he became notorious for his money-making fraudulent schemes in North America in the 1920s.

2/ He arrived in Boston in late 1903 with $2.50 in his pocket.

After many professional failures, he moved to Montreal in 1907 and started working as a bank teller at Banco Zarossi, where he rose to the position of bank manager.

3/ This is where he first witnessed the bank's scheme, where Zarossi was funding interest payments using deposits from newly opened accounts instead of investment profits.

4/ Ponzi served 3 years in jail for check forgery and returned to the US after his release.

However, he got involved in smuggling illegal immigrants into the country landing in prison for another 2 years, moving back to Boston after that.

Here is my collective thread on Aurangzeb, the Mughal.

will elaborate in this thread how aurangzeb committed mass murders, destroyed temples, imposed jaziya on hindus, publicly ban study of vedic literature and forced hindu women to marry muslims.

Page 53, Shikan khan, faujdar of mathura was sent to demolish a temple in malarna.

Page 55 - Aurangzeb ordered his officers to demolish the Kashi Vishvanath temple.

page 106 - Great temple of Kahndela at rajasthan was demolish by Darab khan and Tahawwar khan while a group of rajputs was executed by the mughal army.

Page 60 - The temple of Kesho rai was demolished on the order of aurangzeb and a mosque was built over there in the holy onth of ramzan.

The temple was built by a Bundela Rajput chief and the ruler of the kingdom of Orchha, birsingh devo bundela.

Page 108 - Gwalior, Aurangzeb ordered to issue the law of islam and to collect the jaziya from the infidels or non-muslims.

As America celebrates its defeat of an authoritarian in the middle of consolidating power, it is critical to stay vigilant.

In my @BylineTimes interview with historian @ruthbenghiat she cautions these so-called “strongmen” often remain in the party’s

1/ Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s latest book, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present, details the precise moment in time when fascism was born.

2/ “World War One was this cataclysmic change,” she told Byline Times. “Multiple empires fell, including the Russian Empire, Hapsburg Empire, the Ottoman Empire. It created death on a scale no one had seen before. It created wounds no one had seen before because of new weapons.”

3/ In addition, the Great War led to a profound crisis in maleness.

4/ “It created this entire class of men who were damaged, many were killed, and it created this huge crisis of masculinity,” she said. “So fascist rulers came up during this crisis period of unrest and instability in their individual countries and Italy was first.”

Mines had always had a large female element in their workforce; women were generally employed to carry coal to the surface. It was only in 1842 – with the Mines Regulation Act – that women and young children were banned from working below ground.

The following passage is an extract of a book that was published by Robert Bald, a mining engineer at Alloa, in 1812.

Robert Bald, A General View of the Coal Trade of Scotland, Chiefly that of the River Forth & Lothian, to which is Added an Inquiry into the Condition of the Women who Carry Coals under Ground in Scotland, Known by the Name of Bearers, Edinburgh: Oliphant, Waugh and Innes, 1812

In those collieries where this mode is in practice, the collier leaves his house for the pits about eleven o’clock at night, (attended by his sons, if he has any sufficiently old), when the rest of mankind are retiring to rest. Their first work is to prepare coals, by hewing

them down from the wall. In about three hours after, his wife (attended by her daughters, if she has any sufficiently grown) sets out for the pit, having previously wrapped her infant child in a blanket, and left it to the care of an old woman, who, for a small gratuity,

To India! We go together with one of the most original minds of the late antique and early medieval world: Cosmas Indicopleustes. Cosmas thought that the world was a box. He thought that god resided in its lid. But he also travelled a large part of that box! 1/ #medievaltwitter

Cosmas was born at the end of the fifth or the beginning of the sixth century probably in Alexandria, the great city of Roman Egypt. We actually don’t know his real name, Cosmas the India-Sailor is a monicker he got around 9th century. 2/

We know though that he became a merchant in Constantinople. From there he traveled south to Egypt and then to the kingdom of Aksum, modern day Ethiopia. He is best informed about the topography of the region and there is little doubt that he visited it in person. 3/

He is called the India-Sailor because of his description of the current-day Malabar coast and Sri Lanka. But has he made it that far? Was it even viable in the sixth century? 4/

Cosmas does mention detailed descriptions of the South Asian fauna and flora like the hog-deer which he has “seen and eaten”. He also knows coconuts and pepper and seems to have understood if not witnessed how they were harvested. 5/
