INDIA SUMMARIZED

2014 में केन्द्र में सत्ता के परिवर्तन से बहुत कुछ ऐसा सार्वजानिक हो रहा है, जिसकी शायद किसी ने कल्पना भी नहीं की होगी।दिल्ली की जामा मस्जिद और फतेहपुरी मस्जिद के बारे में तो सुना था कि 1865 के आसपास इन दोनों की नीलामी हुई थी। लेकिन सनातन टाइम्स पर ( http://sanatantimes.com/seth-lakhmichand-buy-2-time-taj-mahal/?subscribe=success#blog_subscription-3 ) ताजमहल की नीलामी दो बार की गई पहली बार में इसे डेढ़ लाख में व दूसरी बार सात लाख में इसे बेचा गया।वास्तव में सनसनी खेज समाचार है। अपने तत्कालीन सम्पादक प्रो वेद प्रकाश भाटिया से अनुमति लेकर स्वतन्त्र पत्रकारिता, उनकी कुछ शर्तों के  साथ, शुरू की थी। रामजन्मभूमि विवाद पर दिल्ली में लगते कर्फ्यू पर एक खानदानी नेता जो तत्कालीन निगम पार्षद भी थे से साक्षात्कार में जामा मस्जिद और फतेहपुरी मस्जिद की नीलामी के विषय में प्रश्न करते ही लगभग 45 मिनट तक खूब नोकझोंक उपरान्त स्वीकारा की 1865 के आसपास ब्रिटिश सरकार ने इन दोनों मस्जिदों पर पाबन्दी लगा दी थी। इन दोनों मस्जिदों में ब्रिटिश सरकार की आर्मी और उनके घोड़े रहते थे। यह साक्षात्कार दिल्ली औ...

Nepal  and Bihar (particularly Mithilanchal) share common geographical location, culture and to some extent history too (particularly the eastern Tarai region of Nepal).  Till  Sugauli agreement between India & Nepal in 1816, Eastern Tarai of Nepal was part of the Mithila territory having capital at Janakpur, now in Nepal. We have also shared a grief of flood, drought & earthquake like the natural disaster. The rivers like Koshi, Kamla-Balan, Gandak, Baghmati etc. all originates from Himalaya & flows through Nepal & North Bihar. Catchment area of all these rivers constitutes Nepal region which causes flood in North Bihar, resultantly vast loss of lives & property every year. In fact, Nepal is the natural allies of India. India all along helped Nepal with all its resources both in peace & turmoil, natural disaster, Infrastructure development ,with great respect of its sovereignty, even though Nepal time to time has shown coldness in relation...

A history chapter titled "revolutionary terrorism" describes the activities of freedom fighters like Shahid Khudiram Bose, Jatindranath Mukherjee and Prafulla Chaki as "extremism and terrorism". The issue kicked off a blazing debate, with prominent historians in the state dubbing the move by the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education a gross distortion to India's freedom struggle. They said the flawed interpretation only reaffirmed t...

BANGALORE: The inauguration of Vidhana Soudha may have been one of the high points of Karnataka's history, but there are no records available with the state government as to when or how the much-celebrated feat was pulled off. While it is a known fact that then CM Kengal Hanumanthaiah was instrumental in the construction of Vidhana Soudha, there are no records on when or who inaugurated it. Now, the information department has decided to approach historians to find out so that a granite plaque can be installed. Even the three living MLAs have no clue about this significant piece of history. "I can't remember. But I know Hanumanthaiah, who was the architect of Vidhana Soudha, did not get opportunity to open it. Vidhana Soudha was dedicated during the period of Kadidal Manjappa," said U Mudappa, MLA who represented Chamarajnagar in 1952. But the state archives and information department have details prior to the event, including laying of the founda...

TIME and again, criticism against Mahatma Gandhi, designated as the father of the nation, used to come in light or say none care due to politicalisation of Gandhi because almost every political party is using Gandhi as a vote catcher. But apart a few exceptionals, he damaged the Hindus most. It is generally believed in India that Mahatma Gandhi through adoption of peaceful means brought Independence to India. Whereas the role of Quaid-e-Azam was limited to the creation of Pakistan by forcing the vivisection of India. This is a myth propagated by the leaders of the Congress party and the Hindus who have never cared to study how the Indian Muslim League was formed in 1906 at Dacca and how it eventually forced the division of country in 1947 on the basis of religion. The untimely departure of leaders like Bal, Pal and Lal in the early decades of the 20th century had left the political arena completely open to Gandhi. He changed the course and policies of the Indian National Congress as...
