Also note the main entrance on the eastern side. When entering an important building, one should face the Qibla. This contrasts with other buildings like Hyumayuns tomb and the Taj Mahal, which follow the Indian system of the southern gate and the strict North-South orientation.

Shah Jahan built the Jama Masjid with the Qibla correct to under 1 degree. The exact Qibla is 266.67 degrees. So at least by Shah Jahan's time, the mughals did know how to calculate Qiba extremely accurately and did care about it.

The Rise and Fall of the mighty Kushans, who ruled an area from Peshawar to Benaras, and whose sphere of influence extended till Pataliputra and Bodh-Gaya.
They gave us the famous 'Gandhara School of Art'.
Kanishka, Huvishka and Vasudeva-I are considered three of the prominent rulers of Kushans.
By 4th century, however, they came under the influence of Persians, and later under Samudragupta.

Temple Committees in Gupta era.
Akshya- Nivi was a gift of cash or kind by the donors, for requisites such as oil for lamp, flowers, incense, etc.
This permanent fund was never used, but the interest on these gifts was used for requisition on the objects mentioned by the donors.

Ascension of Skandagupta to the Imperial Gupta throne in 455 AD.
Reference: Junagadh Rock inscription of Skandagupta, dated to 455, 456, 457 AD.
There was no civil war for the throne, as some historians have postulated.
Kumargupta-I's last inscription is dated to 454 AD and Skandagupta to 455 AD.
This proves that the succession was immediate and without any troubles.

The Rashtarkuta dynasty.. One of the greatest dynasties of medieval India... !
Under their kings like Govinda-III, the Rashtrakutas held sway from Himalayas to Narmada, and even to the South.
Ruling from Manyakheta, they were patrons of art, literature and constructed the great Kailasa temple at Ellora, and many temples & other monuments.
By late 10th century, they became weak and Tailapa-II defeated their last ruler to being an end to this great dynasty.

I have said it earlier that conditioning is being done to encourage mass migration of Pakis, Kanglus + other subcons to West in coming years
Even the Indians that emigrate tend to be disproportionately minorities

Daily SNEAKO@dailysneako
SNEAKO breaks down the two different categories of Indians: Jeets and non-Jeets 😭🇮🇳 "There's different categories of Jeets. Modi is a Jeet, but Mamdani is not a Jeet. Bengalis and Pakistanis aren't Jeets. You have to make a distinction. Not all Jeets are created the same."
