Raid of Surat by Marathas under the leadership of Shivaji

Image
Raid of Surat by Marathas under the leadership of Shivaji Shivaji demanded tribute from the ruler of Surat, which was rejected by the Mughal Sardar. This angered Shivaj and he decided to attack Surat. The Mughal Sardar was very surprised by the suddenness of the attack and not willing to face the Maratha forces, he hid himself in the fort of Surat. However, there was an attempt of life on Shivaji by the emissary sent by the Mughal sardar. Surat was under attack for nearly three days, in which the Maratha army looted all possible wealth from Mughal and Portuguese trading centers. The Maratha soldiers took away cash, gold, silver, pearls, rubies, diamonds and emeralds from the houses of rich merchants such as Virji  Vora, Haji Zahid Beg, Haji Kasim and others.  The business  of Mohandas Parekh, the deceased broker of the Dutch East India Company, was spared as he was reputed as a  charitable man.Similarly.  Shivaji did not plunder the  houses of the foreign m...

When Bhagat Singh was invited by Joseph Stalin

  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 ...

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...

Judiciary and the Nation

Judiciary and the Nation A society or a nation progresses when it rewards the good and discourages the bad. "Anti Social Elements in human Society are the biggest obstacles to achieve principles of Dharma in true letter and spirit. This creates a situation of 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙮𝙖-𝙉𝙮𝙖𝙮𝙖(Anarchy), which means might be right.  Big Fish swallows a small one.  Thus in order to maintain the order of the society, Dand Nitis is needed, 𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙉𝙞𝙩𝙞 means punishment or use of force to control Anti anti-social elements in human society and persuade them to follow the dictates of 'Dharma'. " Now, a common question that might come to your mind is-  Who will punish the bad? The answer is the judiciary. It is the duty of judiciary to punish the bad and protect the innocent.  The failure of judiciary to deliver justice will lead to anarchy or lawlessness. Criminals will commit crimes when they don't have the fear of the judiciary. Rapes happen, politicians do corrup...

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

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...
