Last week, as the national discourse became obsessed with the #Sengol, it made us think about the time when a fictional sceptre became a key element in a Tintin novel that was a satirical criticism of the fascist powers of Europe - a thread (1/18) 
King Ottokar’s Sceptre - the eighth volume in Hergé’s Adventures of Tintin - was published between August of 1938 & 1939. These were tumultuous times in Europe. Fascism was on the rise like never before with Mussolini in Italy & Hitler in Germany (2/18)
Hergé was not oblivious to what was happening around him. In March, 1938, Hitler’s forces had marched into neighboring Austria and occupied the country. Some years earlier, Hergé had used the backdrop of the Japanese invasion of China in the comic “The Blue Lotus” (3/18)

💐Clear Winner is CONgress!
Let's start with why CONgress boycotted Inauguration Ceremony? Was it really over it's opposition to “Dictator" PM Modi?Was it blind Modi-hate?
Everyone thought so.But it wasn't the case.Boycotting Inauguration was राजनैतिक मजबूरी for CONgress.

A few days back, hardly anyone outside of Tamilnadu would have heard of the word "#Sengol". Nor would many, Tamil or otherwise, would have heard about its actual existence, tucked into relative obscurity, lost to the pages of history. Yet today, the whole of India knows the word.
The ornate Sengol has become a Rorschach test.
Some see it as a symbol of divine responsibility, others see it as a a reminder of a non-existent divine right. Some see it as a symbol of Dharma, others as a symbol of drama.
Some see it as a symbol of righteouness, others see it as a symbol of religion.

Ministers & RW handles are behaving as though the leader just excavated a Chola era sceptre! He's using this because of his penchant for grandiose & drama
The Sengol signified the transfer of power from the British to the Indians

It took #India 75 years to revive an ancient tradition with the ceremonial sceptre of #Cholas called the #Sengol planned to be used once again as India inaugurates its #newparliament on the 28th of May. Read more about the ancient Indian coronation traditions in the thread..
According to #AitareyaBrahmana when a new king assumed power he was sprinkled with the purifying waters of holy rivers while he knelt next to the throne. This tradition was followed from the time of #Manu right upto #Bharat the son of Dushyant & Shakuntala & hero of my 3rd book
The crown was placed on the head of the king who was also handed over the #RajDanda in many parts of the country as in the #Tamil tradition. According to #ShuklaYajurveda the priest blessed the newly crowned king with the following words...
1. It gladdens my heart to know that 1947 was not merely a secular transition of power, but it had a ritualistic element in the form of #Sengol or Dharma-Danda given to the new head of Indian State accompanied by ritualistic performances.
2. For me this ritual establishment of Dharma-Danda (#Sengol) is more important than the establishment of independent, but secular state. However, the subsequent sidelining of it by putting in some museum under the heading of 'Golden Stick' though unfortunate is not surprising.
3. Indian State has been inimical to Hindu interests since independence, so sidelining of #Sengol is not surprising. However, I feel its re-establishment in the new parliamentary building is a good nimitta (indication) that may be there could be change of winds in coming decades.
The new Parliament building will be inaugurated by Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi on 28th May, 2023. The recall of a profound and historic ceremony that marked the transfer of power also coincides with the inaugural of the new building.

Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, who was tasked with the responsibility of transfer of power, enquired from Pandit Nehru about a powerful symbol, that can represent the transfer of power from the British to India.
