WRONG.

The British were NOT the first to ban sati in India.

Hindu Peshwas banned Sati 29 years BEFORE Lord Bentinck. Hindu Maratha Kingdom Savantvadi abolished Sati by an official order dated May 6, 1821. 8 years BEFORE Lord Bentinck.

Shri Swami Narayan was campaigning

When Anchor said 'Mughals destroyed Hindu temples'

Rajdeep Sardesai retorted 'What about Buddhist temples destroyed by Hindu kings?' (at 2.05)

No, YOU are wrong.

Which Indian wife?

Humayun's mom Mahan Begum was a Persian. Akbar's mom Hamida Banu Begum was a Persian. Aurangzeb's mom Mumtaz Mahal was a Persian.

And yes, Mughals definitely knew of their Turani homeland and dreamed of getting it back. Which is why

Hello Liar!

Rama Navami violence on Hindus has a recorded history of 300 years.

In 1680, Sambhaji Maharaj issued strict orders preventing 'Turks' from burning pandals and creating disturbances.

There was no BJP back then.

Blaming Hindus when they have been victims for 300

Gurudwara Bangla Sahib was originally Bangla (palace) of great Hindu King Raja Jai Singh.

When Aurangzeb summoned 6 year old Sikh Guru Har Krishan, Jai Singh protected the Guru & offered him residence here. He donated Bangla to Sikhs.

How Hindus protected & nurtured Sikhi🧵

Not Gandhi. Not Nehru.

Hindu King Krishnaraja Wadiyar was the pioneer of India's development.

He pushed India towards modern development.

The prosperity of Bangalore's software sector and lives of millions today is indebted to his vision.

The film earned an Oscar.

This film was inspired by a Hindu Sanyasi named Alluri Sitarama Raju.

Alluri Sitarama Raju used to travel from village to village & preach Bhagavad Gita among tribals. He urged Hindus to revolt against foreign rule.

26th February 1411 is NOT the foundation day of Ahmedabad.

Rather, it is conquest day.

On this day, the city of Karnavati established by Karnadeva was destroyed. Citizens were conquered and enslaved. The new city of Ahmedabad was built from the ruins of the erstwhile Karnavati.

In 2012, a case of corruption amounting to 2 lakh crores in Karnataka WAQF board was unearthed.

The WAQF beneficiaries and middlemen were violating their own rule of 'once a WAQF...always a WAQF' and selling those lands.

According to the WAQF board, 77% of Delhi belongs to WAQF.

This includes:

CGO Complex
Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium
Delhi High Court
Delhi Public School

This means that the WAQF board is planning more land grabbing and your property could be next.

A panicked Telangana State Government knocked the doors of Supreme Court for help.

Fortunately, the Supreme Court ruled in the favor of state.

This was an extremely rare case of Supreme court overturning WAQF decision.

This is precisely what happened to India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani.

Ambani's home Antilia is one of the world's largest and most elaborate private homes, at 27 stories, 173 metres (568 ft) tall, over 37,000 square metres.

Today the WAQF board is staking claim on his house.

Such is travesty of this law that you have to plead your case before the very board that set its rapacious eyes on your land in the first place.

The most draconian aspect of this law is that the decision of the WAQF board (which comprises ONLY Muslims) will be final and binding
