1) Forgotten Hindu tirthas of Western Punjab. A silent chapter of our history, religion and civilization that we erased from our memory in 1947.

Part I - Forgotten "Golden Temple" of Punjab - Sun temple of Multan
2) Multan - a provincial town in Pakistan...hardly rings any bell to most of the Hindus today.

But what if I tell you that once upon a time Hindus from all over Aryavart were flocking there with offerings of aloe wood from Assam? Hard to believe isn't it?
3) This thread is the story of that glorious temple of venerable Aditya, dark shadow of jihadi barbarians that fell upon it, its tragic disappearance into the pages of history but not before the civilizational resistance of 1000 years to that Islamic barbarism..

1) A brief thread about the remarkable continuity of sartorial traditions of women of pre Islamic medieval India, regional variations and related issues
History of rich sartorial tradition of India is very interesting. From most ancient times to modern times - rich Indian dressing ranging from the turbans and dhotis to sarees defines not only our civilization but also its inherent unity in diverse traditions of Bharat.
3) Unfortunately it is also the target of very widely propagated myth - That Pre Islamic Indian dressing was very liberal to the extant that women didn't worn Ghunghat/veil and even used to roam half naked/ bare breasted in public!

1) India Extra Gangem.... India beyond Ganga as Greeco Romans used to call it...

Brief thread about the earliest Indianized kingdoms of Indochinese peninsula which ignited eternal flame of dharma in the direction of Agni (South East Asia).
2) Once upon a time Indians carried eternal flame of Dharma & Sanskriti to the far shore of South East Asia. Prosperous Hindu/Buddhist kingdoms flourished there which left behind the legacy as rich as any other kingdoms/empires of India.
3) As it is impossible to fully appreciate the legacy of our ancestors without studying thier history, this thread gives introduction about some of the earliest Indianized kingdoms that appeared on the canvas of Indochinese peninsula/ mainland south east asia.

1) Stolen antiquities, museums, national treasures, celebration of heritage and more...some thoughts/introspection...
2) When it comes to antiquities of our civilization especially artistic heritage of our past I have often seen Indians lamenting about how great many of our treasures have made their ways to the international museums either during colonial rule or due to recent smuggling.
3) While it is very valid feeling some moderation is desired.

Smuggled artifacts should be brought back to country without any exception. & so are some rare antiquities of great importance such as Kohinoor, Amaravati Marbles, Sultanganj buddha & so on.

I am astonished at low quality vulgar lies perpetrated in this article to suit Islamist agenda of the author!

Because if anything History of Karnataka gives completely diff pic than this fiction. Let me briefly narrate activities of this "peaceful traders" 1/n
Article starts with romantic tell of conversion of Hindu king of Malabar coast in the lifetime of Prophet himself & foundation of mosque which dates back to 7th century.

That myth however has already been rebuked by @TrueIndology in this article.
trueindology.wordpress.com/2016/04/10/exa… 2/n
History of Malik Kafur's raids on south Indian temples is well known to be repeated here..

But I won't be surprised if this same tribe claims tomorrow that he was just a peaceful trader sent by Allaudin Khilji to buy diamonds & Jewels from Hindu temples of south! 3/n

1) Magnificence of the golden past - Brief introduction to the great universities/mahaviharas of medieval Eastern India....Forgotten monuments of past...
2)We take great pride in our ancient universities like Nalanda. But beyond that they are just the dark pages of our history for most people (courtesy to our schoolbooks). Present thread gives very brief look into that glorious past of ours.

Image: Seal of Nalanda University
1) Nalanda or "Sri Nalanda Mahavihariya Arya Bikshusamghasya" as the seal in previous image reads was unarguably one of the most celebrated of the universities of the Medieval India.
