"NO WOMAN ever had to hug a tree to protect it," says Chandi Prasad Bhatt, the founder of Chipko. The concept of hugging a tree to defend it was so powerful, it brought in a new consciousness to the country that put environment at its centre
Today while running through deep searches for some specific content regarding Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi I came across mention of this author Ramchandra Guha. So, when Amazon was showing books written by him, there was this one book which caught my attention immediately "Chipko Movement". Excited to know what this movement was all about as I have never heard of any such andolan before in my life, I started going through many articles and synopsis submitted on the topic. We have always been told that as a Sanatani, that we pray nature, but does it mean one would be ready to giver his/her li...

‘The basis of the obligation of jihad is the universality of the Muslim revelation. God’s words and God’s message is for all mankind; it is the duty of those who have accepted them to strive (jihada) unceasingly to convert or at least subjugate those who have not. This obligation is without limit of time or space. It must continue until the whole world has either accepted the Islamic faith or submitted to the power of the Islamic state.’ [Bernard Lewis, The Political Language of Islam]

But the loss at Panipat had far-reaching effects. The Maratha plan to invade Awadh and Bengal was aborted. The Nawab of Awadh invited the EIC. Panipat III gave the English a respite
The Marathas deploying for action in the dim winter dawn: the Vazir, in full armour; whither do you fly?’: the choking dust: the combatants rolling on the ground, locked in a deadly embrace: the cries of ‘Din! Din!’ and ‘Har, Har, Mahadev!’ and lastly, the dramatic annihilation of one the most splendid and gallant armies that ever took the field. A defeat is, under some circumstances, as honorable as a victory; and never, in all their annals, did the Maratha armies cover themselves with greater glory, than when the flower of the chivalry of the Deccan perished on the stricken field of Panip...

It is a matter of utmost disgust that Shastri Ji’s death is still a secret. During his visit to Tashkent, he breathed his last. The reason for his death is still unknown to the common man. Several Politicians and other groups asked the Government to put forth the facts and evidence, but Congress Govt rejected it citing security reasons

According to Afif, he had collected 180,000 Hindus boys as slaves; ‘Some of the slaves spent their time in reading and committing to memory the holy book, others in religious studies, others in copying books’
Will talk here of the most revered and tolerant Sufi saints of medieval India. All indications suggest that, instead of taking on a missionary profession for propagating Islam through peaceful means, the Sufis were invariably the spiritual and moral supporter of bloody holy wars that were waged by Muslim rulers. They were even prominent participants in them. In Kashmir, it is the Sufis, who inspired bloody Jihad that involved whole-sale destruction of Hindu temples and idols, slaughter of Hindus and their forced conversion to Islam. The mentality, attitude and actions of these illustrious S...
