While #Babur is under copy editing, I have decided to have my third fiction “Ayodhya Nuke Code” published & is in process.
I had finished writing it in 2014, & a lit agent had taken this project. She had refused to take it ahead after Award Wapasi event.

When the book was shelved, I was shattered & gave away writing.
It was only through push of @Sanjay_Dixit @TVMohandasPai @vivekagnihotri @RatanSharda55 @prafullaketkar @scdesh2010 & few others that I resumed putting write ups through tweets.

& then a friend @Kaushik02258399 gave me idea to write “ #ModiAgain : An Ex-Communist’s Manifesto” over morning tea in a stall at Manyata Tech Park, & @GarudaPrakashan published it in record breaking time.

#IndiraPriyadarshini perpetuated immorality in the Nehru dynasty. Intellectual Indira was admitted in Oxford University but driven out from there for non performance. She was then admitted to Shantiniketan but, #RabindranathTagore chased her out for her bad conduct.
After driven out of Shantiniketan, Indira became lonely as father was busy with politics and mother was dieing of tuberculosis in Switzerland. Playing with her loneliness, #FerozeKhan, son of a grocer named Nawab Khan who supplied wines etc to Motilal Nehru's house in Allahabad!
He was able to draw close to her. The then Governor of Maharashtra, Dr. Shriprakash warned Nehru, that Indira was having an illicit relation with Feroze Khan. Feroze Khan was then in England and he was quite sympathetic to Indira. Soon enough she changed her religion!
On this day (14th February) in 1483, the first Mughal emperor Babur was born. 14th February is also marked as an official cultural day in Uzbekistan celebrating the birth anniversary of Babur. This day is known as Babur Day.
During Babur Day, multiple events are conducted that are attended by celebrities, high ranking officials and students.
Musicians sing songs inspired by music pieces commissioned by Babur, poetry written by Babur is recited, painting competitions are held and theatre performances on Babur's life is acted.

Babur had just ascended the throne of Fergana in eastern Uzbekistan. However, his uncle plotted to take away the throne from him. He waged a war against Babur which ultimately Babur lost. He was then exiled to Afghanistan. There Babur managed to find some followers.
Along with them, he then started to figure out ways to capture his throne back.
Babur then came across an opportunity that was even better than his throne.

Vaidyanathan argues there could be some evidence that the #Muslim side offered Friday prayers at the disputed site between 1857 & 1934. "But there is absolutely no evidence that they offered any prayer after that. On the other hand, #Hindus continued to worship".
