Chandragupta Maurya’s Liberation of North Western Bharat – Punjab and Sindh from Yavana occupation : a #thread
Three and a quarter centuries BCE. Punjab and Sindh to NW of Bharat had been overrun by the Yavanas. 1/n

When most Bharata janapadas looked the other way, a Brahmana acharya from Takshashila observed how a foreign conqueror drained the country of its wealth (apavdhayati) and squeezed out as much as possible by exaction and taxation (karshayati). 2/n

Finding the perfect foil to carry out his mission to liberate Bharat from alien domination in a young boy, he took him under his wings educating him in arts, sciences and warfare in Takshashila. The young boy then set out to carefully mobilize military resources 3/n

Vijayanagar (1336–1646 AD) was one of the greatest Hindu empires of India. When N.India was enslaved by Islamic savagery, Vijayanagar followed Hindu tradition to empower women with education, property rights, & financial/administrative control.

Inscriptions, historical texts & foreign traveler's accounts describe the women of Vijayanagar as possessing property & financial independence. Many donated property to worthy causes such as temple improvements, civil works & welfare schemes. Others volunteered their services.

Women were educated from a young age to become literate in Sanskrit, Kannada, Telugu, etc.. The great king Krishnadevaraya himself patronized several female writers and poets & encouraged centers of learning. Women authors wrote timeless Kavyas & literature during this era

The word “Dharma” has multiple meanings depending on the context in which it is used. These include: conduct, duty, right, justice, virtue, morality, religion, religious merit, good work according to a right or rule, etc.

Religion applies only to human beings and not to the entire cosmos; there is no religion of electrons, monkeys, plants and galaxies, whereas all of them have their "Dharma" even if they carry it out without intention.

The equivalent of Dharma in English is considered "religion". If "religion" means the condition of belonging to a religious order,then "Dharma" has nothing to do with religion. In this sense, the Sanskrit word for "religion" can be "sampradaya" or "Mata", but not Dharma.

असं मानलं जातं की देवी पार्वती महादेवांचा शोध घेत अघनाशीनी नदी काठी तपच्छर्या करू लागली.भगवान प्रसन्न होऊन भयंकर व्याघ्र रूपात प्रकट झाले.देवींनी "त्राही मां गिरीश"असा पुकारा सुरू केला.भगवान शिव मुळ रूपात प्रकट झाले.पार्वतीने त्यांना मांगिरीश या नावाने इथेच राहाण्याची विनंती केली

या मंदिराचे छप्पर ताम्रपत्र्यांनी मढवलेले आहे.या देवीची अख्यायिका अशी आहे की समुद्रमंथनाच्या वेळी चौदा रत्नांच्या वाटणीच्या वेळी देवदैत्यांमध्ये झालेले युध्द मिटवण्यासाठी भगवान विष्णूंनी मोहिनी रूप धारण केले तोच श्री महालसा देवीचा अवतार मानला जातो.

Cuncolim - The land of freedom fighters. Cuncolim is a place that have great significance in the history of Goa. It is the land where the first revolution had begun. A place with the aroma of traditional soil.

#OurTrueHistory
@ShefVaidya

There were so many unsung heroes born on this land of cuncolim. They fought against the white colonisers and since then this land is known as the land of freedom fighters.
#OurTrueHistory

Name Cuncolim originates from the name "KUNKALLY" which is derived from the word "KUNK" - similar to term "KESER" which is a symbol of bravery, which gives the literal meaning of Kunkali as 'Land of Bravery'

जिसे पहला स्वतंत्रता संग्राम कहते हैं, वो 1857 का बताया जाता है, फिर हम अपनी बात उससे सौ साल पहले से क्यों शुरू कर रहे हैं? क्योंकि इस दौर में बाबा तिलकामांझी ने फिरंगियों के शोषण के खिलाफ़ हथियार उठा लिए थे। ऐसा माना जाता है कि बाबा तिलका मांझी का जन्म 11 फ़रवरी 1750 को हुआ था।

इस हिसाब से 1784 के दौर में वो करीब 35 वर्ष के होंगे। विश्व इतिहास में ऐसा एक ही बार हुआ है कि कोई निजी कंपनी - ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी, इतनी बड़ी आबादी को नियंत्रित करे। इस कंपनी के बोर्ड ऑफ़ डायरेक्टर्स ने विलियम पिट (यंगर) के प्रभाव में ज़मींदारी का लगान वसूलने की व्यवस्था बदली।

ये 1770 के अकाल का दौर था और तब के बिहार के लिए और शोषण झेल पाना नामुमकिन हो गया। बचपन से ही फिरंगियों का जुल्म देखते आ रहे तिलका मांझी ने आखिर फिरंगियों का और लगान भरने और जुल्म सहने के बदले हथियार उठा लिए। हथियार भी कैसे? फिरंगी तोपों-बंदूकों के खिलाफ तिलका मांझी के गुलेल-धनुष!

Im going to point out three neglected rulers of Karnataka history who changed the course of Southern Indian history #OurTrueHistory @ShefVaidya

1. The Mayurasharma of Banavasi.
Mayurasharma - the founder of Kadambas(The first kingdom established by a Kannadiga) hailed from Banavasi in present-day North Karnataka. As he belonged to a Vaidhika Brahmana family, he went to Kanchi of Tamilnadu for his Vedic studies.

There he was humiliated by ruling Pallavas when he showed interest in learning martial arts being a Brahmana. To seek revenge, Mayurasharma moved to Srisailam and formed an army of tribes, and defeated mighty Pallavas.

As I am from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Will start from the temples of my city.

1. Teli ka Mandir
Teli Ka Mandir is a temple located within the confines of Gwalior fort. This is one of the most misunderstood temples as it seems as a combination of Nagara and Dravida style but

but this temple is of Nagara Architecture with 'Vallabhi Shikhara' .Taking the height of 100 feet, this is the tallest temple in the Gwalior fort complex This temple is mainly dedicated to Lord Vishnu in the form of his mount Garuda.

Debugging some prominent lies of our history...

According to communo-leftist,darbari historian, "Tabla" was invented by Amir khusrow(1253-1325).But this is a 3rd century Gupta era sculpture from Vishnu Temple at pawaya,Madhya pradesh,clearly shows

a musical instrument like tabla in a sangeet sabha playing by a woman.
There is another sculpture of 200 BC from Bhaje cave, Maharashtra;where it shows that a woman are playing tabla

Another lie of history is "Briyani was invented by Mughals or muslim invaders".really?
Nala was a king of Nishad kingdom,specially known for his love-story with Damayanti & his skill with horses.But he is also known for his cooking skill.He wrote the first-ever book on cookery-

Unlike lies spread by Left ecosystem, the original copy of the Indian constitution had profound allegiance to Dharmic civilization. A thread.

#OurTrueHistory @ShefVaidya
In Fundamental rights, a beautiful illustration of Ram, Sita & Lakshman is found. Bharat is land of Rama.

In the beginning of the section of Directive State policy, there is the iconic picture from Gita of dejected Arjuna listening to Krishna about what Dharma is.

To sum, Indian state AS PER CONSTITUTION derives its inspiration of governance from principles of Dharma.

In Part XII i.e. Finance, Property & Contracts; the image of Lord Shiva as divine cosmic dancer Nataraja and sacred symbol Swastika is found.

Hindu philosophy on attainment and management of finance was widely accepted in Constitutional debates.

अप्रैल 1669 में औरंगज़ेब ने दारुल-हरब यानि हिन्दुस्तान को दारुल-इस्लाम बनाने के लिए फ़रमान जारी किया। जिन मंदिरों की वजह से बुतपरस्ती होती थी, उन्हें तोड़ा जाना था। इस आदेश पर इलाके की हिन्दू जनता भड़क उठी और विद्रोह हो गया।
#OurTrueHistory
@ShefVaidya

जाट बहुल इलाकों के इस विद्रोह में स्थानीय मीना, मेव, अहीर, गुज्जर, नरुका, पंवार सभी शामिल हो गए। मंदिरों को तोड़ने आई सेनाओं का सशस्त्र विरोध होने लगा। मथुरा के इलाके का फौजदार, अब्दुन नबी खान, विद्रोह को कुचल कर मंदिरों को तोड़ने आगे आया।

गोकुल जाट के नेतृत्व में हुई लड़ाई में शाहजहाँ के काल में बने शादाबाद के फौज़ी ठिकाने को जनता ने ध्वस्त कर दिया और 12 मई 1669 को हुई लड़ाई में गोकुल जाट और उसके साथियों ने किसानों के औजारों से ही मुग़ल सैनिकों को हराकर, अब्दुन नबी खान को मार गिराया।
