GANDHI’S LAST FAST

Image
  GANDHI’S LAST FAST SARASIJ MAJUMDER     It was not merely a co-incidence that compelled Gandhi to stay   in Delhi during September 1947. Delhi was getting ready to accommodate migrated HINDU REFUGEES mercilessly butchered and   driven out from newly formed ‘PAKISTAN’. They were   trying to get a shelter, and Muslims of Delhi came in ‘CONFLICT’. Muslims ambushed the vehicles carrying Hindu Refugees, Supply of Ration, and other materials.   Newly formed Government failed to provide security to the HINDUS. And I can’t blame HINDUS, for this violent retaliation. RIOT broke out. On the 18th of September, Gandhi appealed to both the Government to maintain peace. On October 2nd 1947, Gandhi turned seventy-eight. He lamented concluding the morning prayer, “..I am the same person whose word was honoured by the millions of the country. But today nobody listens to me…” Gandhi’s talk at the AICC focused on religious harmony. ‘India does no...

RANI KARNAVATI OF GARHWAL- “NAK KATI RANI”

Image
  RANI KARNAVATI OF GARHWAL “NAK KATI RANI” SARASIJ MAJUMDER   There are many blunders in the teaching and writing of Indian history by the Historians of Nehruvian Era.   The losers are Indian school students. They couldn’t know about our courageous legacy. Under many of the Muslim Education Ministers during Dynastic Rule,   the Historians   were   obsessed with the exploits of the Muslim and Mughal invaders rather than the glorious deeds of our brave defenders. More pages are written on ALEXANDER, than ‘KING PORUS’. Greek historians wrote a fiction, and we parroted it in our history books!! Unfortunately, no Indian chronicled the battle of Hydaspes. The problem gets compounded in India by the fact that our past historians tend to ignore the history of the regions far away from Delhi or the big adjoining   cities. What is even a bigger tragedy is the fact that the role of brave women in Indian history hardly    ( if they do) find pa...

He came to Assam in the 13 th Century   after crossing the Patkai mountains,   liked the place, and settled there. The Tai prince used farming and not war, to establish the   kingdom that ran 600 years..!! Ahom kingdom! Which was one of the longest running kingdoms in India! The rule of this dynasty ended with the Burmese invasion of Assam and the subsequent annexation by the British East India Company following the Tre...

SOME FACTS ABOUT PARSIA / IRAN

Image
  SOME FACTS ABOUT 'PERSIA' / IRAN ALSO KNOWN AS 'PARASYA' SARASIJ MAJUMDER   IRAN is today on the NEWS for all wrong reasons. Let us look at the some of the ancient GLORIES of the place. It is a nice place to visit—only problem is, if you ever visit IRAN, you may not get VISA for many countries including USA. I off course visited in early nineties, and enjoyed my stay. 1. Iran is home to one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, Susa. and part of the site is still inhabited as Shush, Khuzestan Province, Iran. Excavations have uncovered evidence of continual habitation dating back to 4395 BCE but that early community grew from an even older one dating back to c. 7000 BCE. 2. The world's highest number of   face & nose jobs per capita is recorded in Iran, making cosmetic surgery surprisingly common. 3. Iran boasts the world's oldest monotheistic religions, Zoroastrianism, which dates back 4,000 years and influenced the developmen...

Hemchandra Vikramaditya

Image
  Hemchandra Vikramaditya THE FORGOTTEN LAST HINDU KING SARASIJ MAJUMDER THE STRAY ARROW: He was a capable administrator, a military genius, a shrewd politician and a far-sighted statesman. In the true sense, he was the follower of the great Hindu ruler Prithvi Raj Chauhan who fought bravely in the battlefields and sacrificed his life for the independence of country. Hemu was one of the greatest freedom fighters in the annals of Indian history, who fought   hard against the foreign rulers. In short, Hemu was a man of ideas and ideals as well as a man of prompt actions, with brilliant and courageous deeds. He had won 22 battles for Adil Shah Suri defeating the Afghan rebels and Mughal forces of Humayun and Akbar. He assumed the title of 'Vikramaditya' after taking the control of Delhi. He was defeated by the Akbar's army in the second battle of Panipat on 5 November 1556, by chance!. Akbar's generals were Khan Zaman I and Bairam Khan. He was conducting the...

INDIA’S FIVE TRAITORS

Image
  INDIA’S  FIVE   TRAITORS SARASIJ MAJUMDER   There were several notable betrayals and acts of treachery that shaped the course of history of INDIA. Here are some of the biggest traitors and their acts, and undesirable consequences. Surprisingly—our history book touched them mostly like foot notes. 1.0 King Ambhi Kumar (4 th CENTURY BC)  Ambhi Kumar of Gandhar was a very rude, greedy and stubborn king. Ambhi was the son of king Gandhar Raj. He was also thrown out of Takshashila University because of his behaviour towards teachers or his gurus and also his fellow students. King Ambhi Kumar, the ruler of Taxila in the 4th century BCE, welcomed Alexander the Great into India and ceded his territory to him. Ambhi's intentions were to see the rival kingdoms of Porus and Abisares fall. After enjoying Ambhi’s hospitality, Alexander sent a word out to the neighbouring kings to meet him and pay him a tribute. While few did go, one king staye...

  CHHATRAPATI SAMBHAJI MAHARAJ A WARRIOR KING IGNORED IN HISTORY SARASIJ MAJUMDER The legendary fights between Shivaji, an Aurangzeb is somewhat chronicled in the history books,   but his son-SAMBHAJI didn’t get the place he deserves. I will share you his acts, and deeds which immortalized him . And he carried forward the fight for independent ‘MARATHA EMPIRE’, till his death. THE LEGACY OF A FEARLESS MARATHA MONARCH : Sambhaji Raje Bhosale, known as Chhatrapati Sambhaji, was frequently referred to as Shambhu Raje,  Second Maratha ruler , particularly in Maharashtra, he earned the epithet “Dharamveer” for his unwavering devotion, love, and sacrifices for the  Hindu Dharma .

GENESIS OF 'PAKISTAN'

Image
  CHAUDHRY RAHMAT ALI GENESIS OF 'PAKISTAN' SARASIJ MAJUMDER     Two Muslims can be credited for the generation of concept of ‘PAKISTAN’. One is generator of TWO NATION theory, and the other is Ch. Rahmat Ali. SYED AHMED KHAN: REF:-“Roots of Muslim separatism in Colonial India (17th century–1940s) ---M. S. Jain and others”--- have traced the origins of the two nation-theory to Syed Ahmed Khan and the Aligarh Movement, consisting of his followers such as Mohsin-ul-Mulk. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (1817-1898) founded the Aligarh Movement to improve the social and intellectual status of Muslims in British India. The movement's main goal was to introduce Western education to Muslims. He, and his followers later started PROPAGATING, AND PROMOTING THE ‘TWO NATION THEORY’. He spoke this   to British Governor, at Lucknow—from which British identified the existing ‘Fissure’ and conceived the ‘Divide and Rule’ policy, and implemented. Unfortunately, ori...

OPERATION SINDOOR ||| ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN

Image
  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN

Image
  UNDERSTANDING WOMEN SARASIJ MAJUMDER   In a poem titled   ‘ বিদায় অভিশাপ ’—(FAREWELL CURSE)--, Tagore wrote: ........ রমণীর   মন   সহস্র বর্ষেরই   সখা সাধনার ধন । । [ ( To understand) Mind of a woman, my dear, ||You need a devotion of thousand years. ]—- Translation is mine. In simple language—‘One Life is not good enough to understand the mind of a Woman’—that is what, Devyani—the heroine of the poem said to Koch, her beloved. And I agree after completing 46 years of married life! However, based on my experience—I wanted to write an article on the subject, sharing my understanding for Romeos of future generations. This BLOG is an attempt towards that. Before I start—I want to share an interesting dialogue I had in an evening, with one of my American friend, ( married, and was living with wife and kids,) at his Ranch at Texas. When the darkness of evening started falling upon us, he told me: “….Mate—I understand Machines, Horses, Dogs…...

Image
  RISHI,MUNI,SADHU,GURU SADHAK,SANNYASI,YOGI SARASIJ MAJUMDUR In our country, all the persons listed above are not generally differentiated much, by us. Writers also, somewhat loosely used the nomenclatures in their writings. Though they have many commonalities, each one   of them is different, in their PRACTICE,   PURPOSE OF LIFE, AND LEADING   THE LIFE.   We will discuss about them, with the basic differences, in short. The one thing common about them is- that all of them are ‘Spiritual Persons’, and carry the higher form of ‘Sanatan Dharma’, or ‘Hinduism’—as we may understand easily. 1.0   RISHI: He is connected to, and composer of   VEDA, Vedanga, Vedanta--or Knowledge. There are a few higher stratas as well e.g. MAHARSHI (KANWA), RAJARSHI (King Janaka), DEBARSHI (NARODA),   ‘SHRUTORSHI’—who learned, and remember VEDAS by hearing, e.g. Vasishta; or only ‘Rishi’-e.g. Gautama.   There are 18 ‘VEDABYASAS’—and all are ‘MAHARSHIS’. ...
