[shut-up-rabert]

not sure how relevant this is, but im gonna go off anyway coz im in a mood. to the previous anon who said that bjp is being extremist by removing the ABUNDANCE of mughals in textbooks.

you know what would be extremist? if they purposefully blacked out all paragraphs relating to a particular religion or dynasty.

which is what happens if you study in an indian school in some middle eastern countries. we had all (which is already the barest of bare) information related to chhatrapati shivaji maharaj, the cholas, the vedic ages etc. blackened out with thick markers. and if that wasn't enough, if they missed out on blacking something out, they'd make us do it with black or red pens. sounds fucking dystopian doesn't it? that's what extremism is.

removing chapters that glorify the rule of barbarous invaders, that too in the name of avoiding repetition, is not extremism lmao.

Lmao, not even surprised.

The truth is that Indians give too much credit to middle east because of how MBS tackles extremism in his country, which is a frustrating problem here, and UAE because they are “friendly” to other religions, right wing often uses it to put down indian muslims in various issues, but midst all this we forget that these are the same people who give their minorities the bare minimum rights so they will work, who ask immigrant workers to convert, who fund these muslim organisations that throw dirt onto us, fucking attacked Israel in support of a Palestine that wanted all Jews of the region dead.

Their communal bias is not as obvious as Pak or Bangla, because they do not have a cultural crisis ig that’s why, but believe me, their dislike for us even if we are not their priority is there.

As of what you say about Mughals being abundance and how removing them is not extremism, what can I say to that anon other than that with privilege comes ignorance. People really act like Mughal Courts singing and dancing is more important than learning about the Chola expansion, something so crucial to our history that we know nothing about, or even the dynasties of Rajputs, Marathas that played a big role in pre mughal history and mughal resistance.

These Mughals have basically eaten up our textbooks, and there’s supremacists nations out there using it to an advantage by completely deleting our indegenious history given its scarcity, because it won’t affect the current syllabus much.

The battle on January 1, 1818, where the British, with just 834 infantrymen — about 500 of them from the Mahar community — and 12 officers defeated the 28,000-strong army of Peshwa Bajirao II - It was one of the last battles of the Third Anglo-Maratha War, which ended the Peshwa domination.

While this would tempt many to suggest Mahars/Dalits always sided with British - absolutely nothing wrong if they did given the conditions they were forced to live in - but in truth, they were in fact prior to this battle part of Maratha army. During Shivaji's reign and especially prior to Peshwas. Many don't realise how Peshwas were not continuation of Marathas under Shivaji but deviation from it.

Relations between the Mahars and the Peshwas, who were Brahmins, grew strained after the death of Baji Rao I in 1740, and reached their nadir during the reign of Bajirao Rao II, who insulted the Mahar community and spurned their offer of service with his army. This caused them to side with the English against the Peshwa’s numerically superior army.

BTW notice how although in school textbooks they mention in details Anglo-Maratha wars and Peshwas, they omit Bhima-Koregaon battle where few Mahars defeated large army of Peshwas!

10 bollywood songs to groove on this ganesh chaturthi | Spardha School Of Music

Dance your way through Ganesh Chaturthi with Spardha School of Music's top 10 Bollywood songs. These vibrant tracks will keep you in the festive spirit and make your celebration unforgettable https://www.spardhaschoolofmusic.com/blog/10-bollywood-songs-to-groove-on-this-ganesh-chaturthi-2

Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha, known as the Lord of Beginnings. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva blessed Ganesha and instructed devotees to worship him before any other god or before starting anything new. This is why, in India, people often say the phrase "Shree Ganesh" before beginning an activity, as it represents positivity and asks for his blessings.

History: Becoming a Mass Festival

Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated across India, but the way it's celebrated in Maharashtra is unique. Originally, it was not a major tradition in Maharashtra until the Maratha period. It was a private affair until freedom fighter Bal Gangadhar Tilak transformed it into a public event to unite people against British rule. Tilak reinvented Ganesh Chaturthi in 1893, turning it from a family celebration into a large public festival, promoting national unity.

Rituals & Meaning

Ganesh Chaturthi begins with the installation of Lord Ganesha's clay idols (murtis) in homes and public spaces called pandals (decorative tents) and lasts for 11 days. For the next 10 days, the idol is worshipped, an aarti is sung every evening, followed by other cultural events. People also offer Modak, a sweet dish made with coconut and jaggery, believed to be Lord Ganesha’s favourite food.

The festival concludes on the 11th day with Anant Chaturdashi (Ganesh Visarjan), a grand farewell ceremony where the idols are carried to local rivers, oceans, or other water bodies, along with celebrations filled with dance, music, and a lot of joy and enthusiasm. Meanwhile, people pray for Lord Ganesha’s early return the following year by chanting "Ganpati Bappa Morya, Agle Baras Tu Jaldi Aa" which means "Come soon next year."

The act of immersion represents the circle of life as the idols dissolve in the water. It signifies that the universe is in a constant state of change and that eventually, everything returns to formlessness.

More than just a festival, Ganesh Chaturthi is also a social and community event that brings people together to sing, dance, and pray. To add an extra spark to your celebrations, here is a perfect playlist of 10 songs for this Ganesh Chaturthi:

Fort to Fort: The Aguada-Chapora Circuit Bike Ride in Goa

Biking in Goa offers a completely different way to appreciate the beautiful beaches, winding roads, green woods, and historical landmarks. If you want to have an unforgettable experience, the Aguada-Chapora circuit needs to be at the top of your list. Between two old forts, Fort Aguada in the south and Fort Chapora in the north, this route provides beautiful views, sleepy villages, and captivating tales woven throughout Goa's rich past. And the freedom of the wide road is yours to enjoy with easy bike rental in Goa.

Setting Out from Aguada Fort

Entering Aguada Fort to begin your journey is like traveling back in time. Aguada Fort, which was built in the early 17th century, has an amazing view of the Arabian Sea. The Portuguese purposefully constructed the fort to stave off Maratha and Dutch invasions. The fort is a great place to start your trip because it offers incredible views of the ocean.

It's important to start early, particularly if you wish to escape the midday sun. You'll experience the refreshing morning wind and get a view of the glittering sea as you leave Aguada Fort. You're prepared to explore the Goan countryside, which is situated between these old forts, with the ideal Goa bike rental at your side.

Riding Through the Goan Countryside

Some of Goa's most picturesque scenery may be seen along the road that leads from Aguada Fort to Chapora. Riders will love this route because of its calm rural lanes, green fields, and coconut trees. Traditional Goan housing is frequently painted in vivid tones of red, blue, and yellow as you travel through tiny hamlets. A peek of Goa beyond its beaches can be found in the laid-back and welcoming village environment.

The Nerul River is a short distance from Aguada and is a lovely place to stop for pictures or just to take in the peace. Mangroves flank the river, and if you're fortunate, you may see some local fishermen going about their regular business. Take your time, take in the lush surroundings, and experience the true spirit of Goa—this stretch is perfect for unhurried riding.

Stopping By Candolim and Calangute Beaches

Without visiting a beach, no Goan trip is complete, and the Aguada-Chapora circuit offers two popular choices: Candolim and Calangute. As you ride through Candolim, you'll see bustling stores and loud beach shacks that will remind you of Goa's lively, welcoming attitude for tourists. Before the people gather, you can enjoy a calm moment by the ocean on this beach, which is quieter in the morning.

Calangute Beach, called the Queen of Beaches, comes next. This stretch is perfect for a little rest, possibly accompanied by a cool coconut drink from a local seller or a quick dip in the sea. The route's biggest and most tourist-heavy section is Calangute, which provides an opportunity to experience Goa's vibrant side before returning to the peaceful sections.

Making Your Way to Anjuna Village

Following Calangute, the path heads toward Anjuna, a community renowned for its historic charm and bohemian atmosphere. Anjuna is well-known for its weekly flea market, which features everything from exclusive clothes to jewelry made by hand. Take some time to browse the market and buy a few items if you're riding on a Wednesday.

The road through Anjuna is a beautiful ride, with farms and massive palm trees on each side. The sound of waves breaking against the rocks provides the ideal background as you approach Anjuna Beach. Along the route, there are a few lovely spots where you may pause and take pictures of your journey. If you choose a bike rental in Goa your ride will be enjoyable.

Enjoying Vagator Beach and the Chapora River

Vagator Beach is waiting for you as you leave Anjuna and travel toward Chapora. Because of its gorgeous cliffs and calmer atmosphere, this beach is a local favorite. Vagator is divided into two parts: Little Vagator, which is more remote and only requires a short walk to reach, and Big Vagator, which is nearer the main road. Stop here, take in the amazing cliffside views, and allow the refreshing sea wind to rejuvenate you for the last part of the journey.

You will cross the Chapora River just before you arrive at Fort Chapora. The calm beauty of this river has served as an inspiration to countless photographers and tourists. You might take a brief diversion to spend some quiet time by the riverbank while observing the boats as they pass by. Because of the beautiful mirror-like image created by the reflections of the Goan sky and the rich flora, the Chapora River also offers great photo opportunities.

The Final Stop: Chapora Fort

The amazing Chapora Fort, made famous by Bollywood and famous for its expansive views, is where your ride comes to an end. Like Fort Aguada, this 16th-century fort was strategically vital to the Portuguese. Perched upon a hill, the fort provides expansive views of the Chapora River and the Arabian Sea.

The views at the top make the short trek to the fort on the last section of the journey well worth the effort. You may observe the junction of the river and the sea from here, as well as the miles of coastline. It's the ideal place to relax, think back on your trip, and take in the famous views that Chapora Fort is famous for.

Why Choose a Bike for This Circuit?

Biking is one of the greatest methods to see the Aguada-Chapora circuit. Goa's coastal roads, gorgeous views, and winding lanes are perfect for exploring on two wheels. You may travel at your speed, pause at undiscovered attractions, and take detours to see less visited places when you choose a Goa bike rental. Additionally, riding a bike across the open roads of Goa, enjoying the breeze in your hair, and embracing the state's relaxed vibes is greatly exciting.

Conclusion: Reliving the Magic of Goa’s Fort-to-Fort Ride

The Aguada-Chapora circuit is more than simply a bike ride; it's a tour of Goa's cultural treasures, beautiful surroundings, and dynamic past. Whether it's in the serene Chapora River, the busy Calangute coastline, or the calm alleyways of Anjuna, there's a story to be found around every corner.You can take full advantage of this amazing experience by exploring at your own pace and making memories that will last long after the journey is finished with the ease of a Goa bike rental like Rentnhop. Prepare yourself, get on the road, and allow the Aguada-Chapora circuit to amaze you with its timeless beauty. Have fun while riding.

Late-Night Meeting in Delhi Sets Stage for Maharashtra’s New Leadership

A crucial meeting between the leaders of Maharashtra’s ruling alliance was held in Delhi late Thursday night. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leader Eknath Shinde, and Ajit Pawar of the NCP attended the discussion. The meeting focused on finalizing the next Chief Minister and the cabinet structure, aiming to resolve any remaining disagreements before an official announcement. 

Chief Minister’s Post: A Key Decision 

Sources indicate that BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis is the frontrunner for the Chief Minister’s position, with Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar likely to serve as his deputies. Shinde, addressing speculation about his role, said he would fully support the BJP’s decision. “I have told Prime Minister Modi that I will not be an obstacle. We will go with whatever decision is made,” Shinde stated, signaling his willingness to step down for Fadnavis if required. 

The BJP is reportedly considering various factors, including caste dynamics. Fadnavis belongs to the Brahmin community, which had sparked debates in 2014 due to Maharashtra’s predominantly Maratha political base. Amit Shah has consulted senior leaders, including Vinod Tawde, to ensure the decision is well-received across communities. 

Cabinet Distribution and Portfolios 

The meeting also addressed the composition of the state cabinet. Maharashtra can have up to 42 ministers, and sources suggest the BJP could secure 22 portfolios, the Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) 12, and Ajit Pawar’s NCP 10. The BJP is expected to retain key departments like Home and Finance, while Sena and NCP will handle Public Works, Agriculture, and Cooperation. 

This division reflects the seat-sharing arrangement from the previous election, where the BJP emerged as the largest party with 132 seats. 

Challenges Ahead 

While progress has been made, questions remain about Eknath Shinde’s future role. If Fadnavis is named Chief Minister, Shinde could either stay on as Deputy CM in Maharashtra or move to a position at the Centre. Sources within the Shiv Sena have suggested he will likely remain part of the state cabinet. 

The BJP appears keen to resolve all issues before making a formal announcement. Political observers see this as an effort to ensure stability and avoid backlash, especially from Maratha leaders critical of Fadnavis in the past. 

An official announcement on the Chief Minister and cabinet structure is expected after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s final approval. The ruling alliance is preparing to focus on governance and upcoming elections once the leadership structure is in place.
