Pandit Benimadhab : The Slayer of Muslim Invaders.

Pandit Benimadhab : The Slayer of Muslim Invaders.


Benimadhab Ray was a Kulin Barendra Brahman. He was a resident of Tarash Chalan-Beel in the Rajshahi kingdom of Bengal. He had a very beautiful wife. Once a Pathan warlord abducted his wife. This angered Benimadhab a lot and he decided to take revenge.


He became a Bandit and acquired some followers of different castes, whom he organized into an armed outfit. Benimadhab Ray was related by marriage to the Sanyal's of Satore. The Sanyals and the Kayasthas of Satore had therefore joined his army in large numbers. He set up his base in a desolate island within the Chalan Beel where he also erected the famous Yavanmardini Kali temple.


His followers used roam about the countryside and abduct Pathans on the night of Amavasya and offer narabali of them in front of Maa Yavanmardini Kali.


His two principal aides were Jugal Kishore Sanyal and Chandi Prasad Ray. They had unleashed a reign of terror on the Muslim invaders of Bengal. The Pathans used to call them Kal Jogla and Kal Chandeya respectively. He became popular as the slayer of Pathans.

Why I do not support Modi Government?

Image
Why I do not support Modi Government? A King/leader is judged on the basis of mainly 3 things: 1) Condition of the Military. 2) Condition of the Farmers. 3) Condition of the Workers. Now let me talk about all these three one by one. And you will get the answer. 1) Condition of the Military  Powerful Militaries are those which have domestic weapon manufacturing . Modi government has not done anything to boost domestic weapon manufacturing. But Shiva, news channels and many leaderes were saying that defense exports of India are rising and india is on the path of being self reliant in defense sector. No , what you are seeing is weapons assembled in India with not all but main parts imported from Foreign nations. So it is not make in India. It is assemble in india. A lot of so called manufacturers in India are just traders or assemblers. One more thing. Modi government has increased percentage of FDI in defense sector from 49 percent to 75 percent. Which means MNCs companies will be pa...

Rooftop Koreans: An example advocating for the importance of citizen ownership of firearms

Image
Rooftop Koreans: An example advocating for the importance of citizen ownership of firearms   Rooftop Koreans or Roof Koreans refer to the Korean American business owners and residents  who armed themselves and took to the rooftops of local businesses to defend themselves  during the 1992 Los Angeles riots .  The unrest in urban areas was sparked by the acquittal of four Los Angeles Police Department officers in the beating of Rodney King and resulted in rioting, and looting, along with widespread violence and arson throughout the city. For years, there had been tensions between the Los Angeles Korean community and the African American communities, including the killing of Latasha Harlins, an African-American teenager who was controversially fatally shot by a Korean-American convenience store owner who received no jail time. Following the Rodney King verdict, Los Angeles police were unable to provide protection to many affected areas due to the overwhelming scale of t...

Amul: The Cooperative Model that Empowered India's Dairy Farmers

Image
Amul: The Cooperative Model that Empowered India's Dairy Farmers. In the world of dairy production, Amul stands as a shining example of how the right business model can completely transform an industry, uplift an entire community, and create a self-sustaining ecosystem. Amul, short for Anand Milk Union Limited, is not just a dairy brand; it is a cooperative revolution that has empowered millions of farmers across India. The Birth of Amul: A Revolutionary Idea The story of Amul begins in 1946 in Anand, Gujarat, where farmers faced the harsh realities of unfair prices set by middlemen and large milk traders. In response, Amul was created under the leadership of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Tribhuvandas Patel to give dairy farmers a fair chance to thrive in the market. The goal was simple: empower farmers by providing them with a cooperative platform to directly market their milk and dairy products, bypassing the exploitation of intermediaries. With the establishment of Amul, farmers ...

Crypto Christianity: Rome's Downfall and India's Warning

Image
Could a hidden force reshape civilizations? One did before... Is India's Hindu civilization vulnerable, as the Roman Empire once was? Let's examine the evidence..... Credit: FB/TrishulOfShiva Crypto Christians are those who convert to Christianity secretly, remaining "Hindu or Muslim" on paper. They blend in, aiming to spread their own propoganda from within. Official documents don't tell the whole story. A converted Crypto Christian may hold government positions but secretly work to undermine other faiths. "Crypto" means "secret" in Greek, and this tactic is ancient. The Roman Empire, a vast polytheistic civilization, began in 600 BC and fell by the 15th century. Was Crypto Christianity a factor?........let's see. Romans, like Hindus, worshipped many deities. Conflict with Jews led to Roman conquest of Israel. Jesus Christ was born around 4 BC, and Christianity began its spread. Emperor Trajan (98-117 AD) banned Christianity, which didn...

When Bhagat Singh was invited by Joseph Stalin

Image
  When Bhagat Singh was invited by Joseph Stalin A lesser-known event from the annals of the Indian revolutionary movement is the “invitation” that was sent to Bhagat Singh by the Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin. This invite could not reach Singh, so we can only speculate about what might have happened if it had been received and accepted. There is no doubt that had it all gone as planned, it had the potential to change the course of our freedom struggle. It was Shaukat Usmani  who connected Bhagat Singh and Stalin. He was  one of the founding members of the Communist Party of India established in Tashkent in 1920. Usmani was sent to India by MN Roy to establish contact with the Indian nationalists. He came in contact with the revolutionaries through Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi, the famous editor of the Hindi daily, Pratap, which was published from Kanpur in 1920s. Bhagat Singh worked as a sub-editor at Pratap. He even reviewed Usmani’s political-cum-travel memoir, Peshawar to ...

Problems in Real Estate sector and its possible solution

Image
In this article, we will discuss about Indian Real Estate Sector. However, it's obvious that real estate sector around the world is facing more or less similar issues. Problems in the real estate sector include: Rising prices : Continuous and exponential rise in the price of real estate has made it unaffordable or hard to afford for common people and small businesses in many parts of the nation. Inefficient use of Land : A large amount of land is lying empty because of its unaffordability or because of its owners wanting to earn more profits in future. This land does not add any value to the society or to the national economy and it often hampers the Industrialization of the nation. The reasons behind these problems include: Over-Financialization : Over-financialization in the real estate sector has led to its commodification of it. Land is being treated as a commodity to earn huge profits instead of a social property. An influx of huge sums of money by investors has resulted in it...

How BJP use Waqf board to fuel its politics of hate despite Waqf board being a defacto government body?

Image
How BJP use Waqf board to fuel its politics of hate despite Waqf board being a defacto government body?   Recently I have been seeing many posts and discussions against the WAQF Board and their Illegal, immoral occupation of Public and Private property. But the problem with these posts is that they purposefully hide the important facts about this WAQF board.    WAQF board is a government body created through an act passed by the parliament of India. The government has the right to suspend the working of the WAQF board or even correcting its decision if they feel like it is going against its principle. The current Chairperson of the Central WAQF board is BJP=RSS Leader Smriti Zubin Irani who oversees all the actions performed by the WAQF. All the members of Central Waqf council too are BJP=RSS members.    According to the WAQF ACT 1995 the Union Minister in charge of the Central Waqf Council can through the council of ministers make rules related to the working o...

The Great Indian Brain Drain: Who Really Benefits from the IIT Dream?

Image
Every year, lakhs of India’s brightest young minds compete in one of the world’s most grueling exams — the JEE. The reward? A seat at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), institutions hailed as the apex of academic brilliance in the country. IITs are our pride. We speak of them on Republic Day. We build coaching empires around them. We speak their names with reverence. But here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: The IITs are burning the midnight oil — but not for India. 🚨 Built by India, But for Someone Else Let’s look at the numbers. The Government of India spends ₹10–15 lakh per student during a 4-year B.Tech program at an IIT. The total IIT budget for FY 2024–25? Over ₹9,660 crore. Students pay a small fraction. Many pay nothing, thanks to scholarships and subsidies. So who pays the rest? You do . The Indian taxpayer. And how does the country benefit? ✈️ The Silent Exodus of Talent ● 30–36% of IIT graduates leave India for jobs or higher education ab...
