If you ever attend a military funeral or memorial service, you can see groups of soldiers proudly holding rifles. Then, at a specific time, they aim their weapons at the sky and fire. This practice is quite common around the world and with many traditions,

“Ayodhya” means that which cannot be conquered through war. Babur attacked, demolished the temple, and built a mosque; Aurangzeb demolished three other ancient temples there, yet until 1858 it remained under the control of armed sadhus who never permitted any Muslim to offer namaz at the birthplace of Ram Lalla. Queen Vict

The so-called 'scholars' of Europe characterized the Mohenjo-daro and Harappa 'civilization' as the oldest foundation of Indian civilization and declared it to be more advanced and ancient compared to the Vedic (pertaining to the Vedas) pastoralists—a view that our policy-makers and so-called intellectuals, especially leftist historians, continue to accept to this day. Th

In 2004, a book by Shankar Sharan titled *Marxism and Writing of Indian History* was published. The book notes that Marxists deliberately concealed facts to fabricate the argument that Muslims felt insecure on account of being a minority. The reality is that they... this 'insecurity' fe...

For the common people and sadhakas (spiritual practitioners), the injunction of the shastra (scripture) is to keep their sadhana (spiritual practice), bhajan (devotional worship), and archana (ritual worship) confidential. However, when the wealthy, the affluent, and the rajanyavarga (royalty) discharge their dharmic (righteous) duties, this extremely strict rule of "secrecy" has been dispensed with by the shastrakaras (scriptural authorities) and the leaders of society. And to p

India has made a significant contribution to the creation and development of the world's civilizations and cultures. Being among the oldest nations, this country has served as a sanctuary for numerous nomadic communities, tribes, and caravans of the world.

Rudrama Devi was a 13th-century female ruler of the Kakatiya dynasty. During her reign, she inducted people from the lower strata of society into the army and granted them jagirs (land grants) as well.

About six months ago, I read an article on Gita Press published by the BBC. The piece concocted the specious argument that the printing press known as Gita Press was working on a mission to forge a Hindu India. Subsequently, I read yet another article titled "Gita Press's Talibani Thinking on Women." Having read both articles, my mind...

Literature has always played a prominent role in society. During the swadhinata andolan (freedom movement), the flame of kranti (revolution) present in newspapers and journals was no less intense than that of the krantikaris (revolutionaries). While the writings published in them provided a strong foundation for the freedom movement, they also accomplished the vital task of jan jagaran (public awakening) among the people.

History textbooks must certainly have told you that after Humayun, Sher Shah Suri seized the throne of Delhi; in these very books you would also have read that Humayun handed over the realm for a single day to a boatman or a bhisti (water-bearer) who issued leather coins; in those same books, you might perhaps also have read...

The Indian freedom movement is an immortal saga of the struggles, sacrificial deeds, and courageous activities of numerous revolutionaries, yet modern historians have shown extreme niggardliness in mentioning these great revolutionaries who laid down everything they had for the country's freedom.

It was 6 February 1932 when hundreds seated in the Convocation Hall of Calcutta University were left stunned by a volley of bullets fired in rapid succession by a young woman, whose target was none other than the then Governor of Bengal, Stanley Jackson. Although Jackson survived, the courage of this young girl [...] the entire B—

It is impossible to speak of armed revolution without invoking the name of Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh, for not only in India but in world history, he carved out a distinct place for himself at a very young age as a traveler on the *krantipath* (path of revolution). But how many people know what inspired Bhagat Singh to choose this path of revolution—

I draw the attention of scholars affiliated with Kashi Hindu Vishwavidyalaya who are conducting research on the persona and works of Mahamana Malaviya Ji, as well as history enthusiasts, toward a matter of utmost importance. That matter is this: for some time now, it has been repeatedly observed and read that the Darbhanga royal family and Mithi...

The Saga of the Puranas (ancient chronicles), Part-1 The banyan tree of Hindu Dharma (cosmic and moral order), with its myriad branches laden with leaves, flowers, and fruits, rests upon roots that extend deep into the Vedas (sacred scriptures). But what is its trunk? Its trunk is the Puranas. If Hindu Dharma is likened to a grand multi-storeyed building, the Vedas would be called its foundation, and the 'Puranas' its pillars.

Some time ago, I contacted a coaching institute to prepare for the RAS (Administrative Service). A day or two ago, I received a call from them informing me that their new batch was starting, and that I could attend a 2-day trial class. Although I had no immediate intention of taking admission, I thought there was no harm in attending the trial class. So today, I

What is varna (traditional social order)? Who is foremost among the four varnas? In contemporary times, the Shudra (service and artisan order) varna is perhaps assumed to be impoverished people clad in wretched clothes; that is why many jatis (lineage-based communities) take issue with being designated as Shudra varna. Before I offer my view on what follows, let me clarify one thing: if tomorrow someone presents me with my true history and th—

There are two statements we all have been hearing and reading since childhood: 1. India was the *sone ki chidiya* (golden bird) 2. India was a *krishi-pradhan* (agrarian) nation. Just as the first statement is an absolute truth, the second statement is an outright lie. Yet, lacking the evidence to prove either, we find ourselves helpless. First of all, let us talk about
