On Feb 1935, Bose attacked the Nazis as he was angry as Indians were described as Sub-Humans in Mein Kampf. The British arrested Bose in April 1936, because he insulted the Nazis.

The West at this point had a soft spot for the Nazis. France, Great Britain, Netherlands, Poland all gave the Nazi Salute during the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

Even during the Spanish Civil War (1936 - 1939), the Western powers observed neutrality as the Fascists rose in Spain.
In 1937, Hitler told British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax that one of his fav movies was ‘The Lives of a Bengal Lancer’. Why?

‘The Lives of a Bengal Lancer’ depicted a handful of "superior race" Brits holding sway over an entire Indian subcontinent (Sub-Humans).
"Shoot Gandhi. If necessary, shoot more Congress Leaders (Nehru & Bose)."

- Hitler to Lord Halifax, Britain's Foreign Secretary

This statement by Hitler in 1937 angered many pro-Leftist leaders of the INC including Bose.
Bose reached London in Jan 1938, and he met many leaders of the British Labour Party including Attlee.

1938 & 1939 were two huge years for the Indian National Congress. As i always say, the 10-year phase from 1938 - 1948 shaped modern India and it began in 1938 Haripura session.
Jan 1938 : Labour Politician George Lansbury greeting Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in London.

Conservative Tories refused to meet Bose. During his inaugural speech in Haripura in 1938, Netaji quoted Lenin and Trotsky and praised the British Communist party.
On March 1940, Bose approached PC Joshi of Indian Communist Party and Ram Singh Dutt of Kirti Kisan Party.

The aim of Bose was simple: To meet the Soviets.

But the Soviets refused any help.

For the Soviets, the war was between Nazi Germany and France-Britain (The two Superpowers). The Soviets were neutral and didn't want any involvement. The Americans were also Nuetral.
Things changed in June 1940.

The world strongest Army (The French Army) was defeated by the Wehrmacht (German Armed Forces) in six weeks in June 1940, and then the Germans kicked out the British from Western Mainland Europe at Dunkirk.
With the defeat of the French, everyone thought that the Axis victory was more or less secured.

On July 2nd 1940, Netaji Bose was arrested by the British and was detained in Presidency Jail (Calcutta).
On 16th Jan 1941, Netaji escaped from Jail

He & his nephew Sisir Bose, sat in a car (on display at his Calcutta home) and managed to make their way to Peshawar, with the help of Punjabi revolutionary Chain Singh Chain (The forgotten Hero).
Sub-human comment was asked by Netaji to Ribbentrop.

Operation Barbarossa (German Invasion of Soviet Union) on June 1941 changed everything.

One must remember that in the first 3 years of World War 2, the Germans were undefeated till Stalingrad

The Hanging of Bhagat Singh, the INA, WW2 and the 1946 Bombay Naval Mutiny were the events which triggered India's freedom

When your own Native Armed Forces turn against you, then it's time to leave. The British Knew it and were afraid of it since 1857 revolt.
Netaji Bose made a mistake of 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' but calling him a Nazi is ridiculous.

He was the first Indian leader to question sub-human comment in Mein Kampf. He was an admirer of USSR. His wife was Jewish.
During the 1946 Royal Naval Mutiny;

a) The Sailors left their posts and went around Bombay in lorries, holding aloft flags of Netaji Bose and Lenin.

b) Several Indian Naval officers who opposed the naval strike and sided with the British were thrown off the ship by mutineers.

Indians had Algebra BEFORE Mμslim prophet & religion was even born.

Here is Bakhshali Manuscript dating back to 3rd century CE. It is an Algebraic treatise. Have you anything like this from the Arabian desert? No, you simply plagiarized Algebra from Indians! https://t.co/cWXRNYMgDt


The Bakhshali manuscript, which has been carbon dated to 3rd century CE, is an ancient Hindu treatise on Arithmetic and Algebra.

The Algebraic problems deal with simultaneous equations, quadratic equations, arithmetic
geometric progressions & quadratic indeterminate equations.


Bakhshali isn't earliest Indian Algebraic treatise. Early Algebra is found in Shulba Sutras dating back to at least 800 BC. Traditional Algebra reached its pinnacle in the works of Aryabhata & Bhaskara.

What makes Bakhshali special is it offers mathematical proof to its theories


It is surprising to see that even after the ancient Indian algebraic treatise has been carbon dated to 3rd century CE by Oxford, they persist with "oh we invented Algebra. It is Halal".

A brief examination of the origins of "Halal Algebra" follows

https://t.co/eFIZ98FDrI


The earliest work of "Arabic Algebra" is the "Al-Kitāb Al-Jabr wal-muqābala" by Al Khwarizmi. The term "Algebra" comes from this book ("Al Jabr").

Before writing his treatise, Al Khwarizmi visited India. His book is a plagiarism from Indian Mathematics and an obvious one at that
THREAD: With #silversqueeze trending on Twitter, it appears that this week's market spectacle may well be in the silver market.

A perfect moment for a thread on the Hunt Brothers and their alleged attempt to corner the silver market...


1/ First, let's set the stage.

The Hunt Brothers - Nelson Bunker Hunt, William Herbert Hunt, and Lamar Hunt - were the sons of Texas tycoon H.L. Hunt.

H.L. Hunt had amassed a billion-dollar fortune in the oil industry.

He died in 1974 and left that fortune to his family.


2/ After H.L.'s passing, the Hunt Brothers had taken over the family holdings and successfully managed to expand the Hunt empire.

By the late 1970s, the family's fortune was estimated to be ~$5 billion.

In the financial world, the Hunt name was as good as gold (or silver!).


3/ But the 1970s were a turbulent time in America.

Following the oil crisis of the early 1970s, the U.S. had entered a period of stagflation - a dire macroeconomic condition characterized by high inflation, low growth, and high unemployment.


4/ The Hunt Brothers - particularly Nelson Bunker and William Herbert - believed that the inflationary environment would persist and destroy the value of their family's holdings.

To hedge this risk, they turned to silver.

They began buying the metal at ~$3 per ounce in 1973.
