Hinduism is a minority religion in Punjab.
During the Khalistan movement, the minority Hindus and Jains were subjected to several attacks. Hindu and Jain temples were frequently vandalized and desecrated. This thread documents a few instances.

According to the regional Hindu tradition recorded in the "Survey of Amritsar", Amritsar got its name from Amrit immersed by Lava and Kusha in a pond.
It was used to house the Murtis of Vishnu and Durga which were thrown out from the Parikrama of Harmandir Sahib in 1905.
Because of its presence in Amritsar, it became a frequent target of radicals during the Khalistan movement.
Coins of ancient Yaudheyas dating back to 100 BC have been found at this ancient temple.
On November 21 1983, two bombs were thrown on this temple. A damaged section was later rebuilt by funds collected from devotees
On May 5, 1984 Jain temple in Amritsar was looted and desecrated.
On February 28 of the same year, another Jain temple was looted.
They bombed Hindu fairs like Shivaratri & Ramnavami where Hindus gathered in large numbers to ensure maximum Hindu kiIIings.
Shivala temple of Amritsar was bombed on Shivaratri

This is THEFT!
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

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

A thread on the voting pattern in border districts adjoining Bangladesh.
These districts have experienced a significant demographic influx due to illegal Mμslim immigration from Bangladesh and high M growth rate.
Due to this illegal Mμslim immigration, Hindus have been fleeing
Bhagabangola seat is a part of Murshidabad district bordering Bangladesh.
It once had 55% Hindus & 44% Mμslims (1872 census).
Migration from Bdesh changed demographics to Mμslim majority (66% in 2011).
No Hindu won since 1971.
Today they elect a man responsible for 2007 riots
Idris Ali was arrested in 2007 Park Circus Kolkata riots. He incited riots and targeted Hindu localities when Taslima Nasreen came to Kolkata
Today he wins this seat.
Ironically, no Hindu even contested. Even BJP fielded a Mμslim ex CPM candidate
https://t.co/I3Fv1uxKwh
This is same district that witnessed the brutal murders of the RSS worker and his family.
The case was hurriedly declared an unrelated property feud by the ruling state administration.
The same ruling state party which withdrew riot charges against Idris Ali & gave him a ticket
Raninagar is another seat in the Murshidabad district.
No Hindu candidate ever won in Raninagar.
No Hindu candidate even contested the seat in this election.
Even after BJP fielded a Mμslim candidate, it could hardly get 10% of the votes.
Abdul Soumik Hossain of Trinamool won

This is nothing but THEFT and appropriation of Indian Heritage.
While this might look very trivial at the outset, this is a very major cultural appropriation.

What is Golden ratio?
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.
If two numbers be designated by a and b (a>b>0), then they are aid to be in Golden ratio if a/b=(a+b)/a
Thus, Golden Ratio is solution to quadratic x2-x-1=0(assuming a to be x and b to be 1 in the same ratio).
This approximates to 1.618033.
Since in a Fibonacci series every number(except first & second) is sum of the previous two, golden ratio approximates ratio of larger/smaller
How is Golden ratio important?
Golden nature is everywhere in the nature. Infact, Golden ratio is called Divine proportion.
According to latest research, universe is governed by Golden ratio.
Universe has a golden ratio that keeps everything in order.

Infact, the Golden ratio of Fibonacci series can be seen everywhere around us in the universe.
The petals of a flower and seed heads follow a Fibonacci series where each consecutive cycle is in golden ratio with the previous one

Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

The prince Dhruv greeted the sages and continued on his journey. At last, he reached a beautiful forest Madhuvan on the bank of the river Yamuna. It was the same forest, which was later occupied by a demon Madhu.
Shatrughana, the youngest brother of Sri Rama had killed demon Lavan, son of Madhu in the same forest & founded the township of Mathura. In the same forest, prince Dhruv decided to carry out his penance. As per the dictate of the sages, he began to recite the mantra continuously
Very soon, the earth began to move because of Dhruv’s severe penance. Even the seat of Indra could not remain stable. A stampede resulted among the gods. The gods then hatched a conspiracy to disturb the penance.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
