The greatest leaders Indian independence movement produced are Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and Veer Savarkar but it's sad there birth anniversary is not known to most ppl . It's high time Netaji's birth anniversary is made national holiday and Savarkar's as Caste Unity Day

@sardesairajdeep Suryawanshi might end up like Kambli or worse like Shaw. Let him show consistency for 5-6 years and play for India then talk about his era

Cricket gyaan: welcome to the AGE OF VAIBHAV SURYAVANSHI ! Ek Bihari sab pe bhaari!😊⭐️⭐️

@indomitablesoul @bhogleharsha @StarSportsIndia @BCCI Add Ian Bishop too

Commentary by @bhogleharsha is so one-dimensional and sounds like the same script being read again and again. No newness or change. Why can't @StarSportsIndia and @BCCI look for real talent rather than sticking with those who have outlived their validity and relevance? #IPL

@indomitablesoul @bhogleharsha @StarSportsIndia @BCCI When Bhogle Shastri or Gavaskar are on commentary my TV is on mute. Too much of their same old stuff.... Need fresher perspectives - DK is good

@nimishdubey Popularity is measured by viewership and that is why it feels like T20 is popular than Test or ODI. For Test one has to watch 7 hours for 5 days, odis are 8 hours on the trot. Most people have jobs to do and so will watch a 3 hour T20 game in evening.

Test cricket began to lose popularity when batsmen started piling on the runs too easily. One day cricket began to lose popularity when batsmen started piling on the runs too easily. A pattern there. There is a bunch of people who insist that “spectators only want to watch fours and sixes” but I have a feeling that cricket is, no matter what the cliche says, not only a batsman’s game.

@rishibagree Sai Baba's original name was Chand Miya and he used to be a soldier in the army of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi, fought in the 1857 war against British. Was untraceable for 3 years from 1858 probably to avoid arrest and execution by British. Appeared again in 1861 and became a saint

Hit me with the craziest Indian history facts you know.

@labstamil @AditiIndiaFirst Cinema can at best challenge status quo often at family or inter personal level but has never created national awakening or civilizational awakening

Such a reaction from the flagbearer of Dravidawood shows that Dhurandhar has definitely hit a nerve. Even Aditya may not fully grasp the magnitude of his impact. Tamils have never watched a Hindi cinema in such droves, with such craze, ever before. Indian cinema shall no longer remain the same. What Baahubali did for civilizational consciousness, Dhurandhar has done for national consciousness. Jai Hind.

@labstamil Saying that films lead to any kind of consciousness or even a societal change is an over statement. Dhurandhar is a good film and good entertainment - it cannot lead to any consciousness. Baahubali was a bad film.

@mvmeet @madhukishwar should be arrested under UAPA for her proximity to Terrorists and terror sympathizers

Madhu ji, let me tell you one incident. A month ago, I went to a hotel. Yesterday, I went to the same hotel again. I asked the cashier if he recognized me. He said, “No, so many customers come and go every day how can I remember?” He said exactly what you are saying now. Yes, I am not a VVIP or a Star. I am just an ordinary person with values. How can you be expected to remember me? You would remember VVIPs like Geelani and Yasin Malik, of course. And as for not remembering even your cousins’ birthdays—let it be, that’s age-related Disease In none of my tweets did I say that you asked me for a Rajya Sabha ticket. I don’t have that kind of influence. What I said was that you expressed disappointment about not getting a Rajya Sabha ticket. Are you denying that? I had tweeted what you said that you worked very hard in Gujarat writing books, but someone else was given the ticket and made a minister. Show me even one tweet where I claimed you asked me for a ticket. Another truth is this: you were made to wait for 3.5 hours at a BJP leader’s house and weren’t even granted a meeting that hurt you. Rather than gaining fame using your name, I would prefer to die. And by the way, who is it that is now gaining fame using Modi ji’s name? After realizing that BJP is of no use to you after the age of 75, your attempt to seek benefits from another party is known to the whole world. And the last line for you: “Aandhi banke aaya hoon…”

@Jamomt234 @akashx1 @Ranzunjhar There is no evidence to suggest that Marathas ever married their daughters to Mughal or other Sultanate's generals. Ample evidence that Rajputs traded their daughters with Mughal kings Akbar, Jahangir Shahajahan and perhaps many more

The Maratha maps, from 1760 and 1795, created by your British daddy, not made in MS Paint. Both included Rajputana in the Maratha Empire. All you can do is cope with memes.

@BanCheneProduct There is a factual error in this story. What transpired between PM Rao and Vajpayee cannot be ascertained however it is a fact that BJP opposed and voted against the Liberalisation budget presented by MMS in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha both

In 1991, India's economy was in dire straits. Prime Minister Narasimha Rao summoned Finance Minister Manmohan Singh and asked him how much money was left in the treasury. Manmohan Singh replied that there was only enough money to run the country for nine days.  Narasimha Rao then asked how they should deal with this situation, to which Manmohan Singh replied that the value of the Indian rupee would have to be devalued by 20%. Narasimha Rao said, "Okay, call a cabinet meeting." Manmohan Singh got up and started walking towards his office. After a few steps, he turned back and told Narasimha Rao that if a cabinet meeting was called, they wouldn't be able to make this tough decision, as all the ministers would be focused on their vote banks.  Narasimha Rao told Manmohan Singh to go to his office, and 20 minutes later, a secretary delivered a letter to Manmohan Singh's room. In that letter, Narasimha Rao had simply written, "Done."  Later, when it was revealed what had happened in those 20 minutes that led to the decision being made without a cabinet meeting, surprising even Manmohan Singh, Narasimha Rao said that he had spoken to Atal Bihari Vajpayee and finalized the decision. This shows the trust he had in Atal Bihari Vajpayee, even more than in his own cabinet. He knew that Atal Bihari Vajpayee would only say what was in the best interest of the country.  That's what a nationalist opposition looks like. After the announcement of that tough decision, the BJP did not launch any protest movement; instead, they supported the then-Congress government to bring the country's economy back on track. And now, look at the attitude of the opposition parties lead by Congress. Salute To Atal Bihari Vajpayee. 🫡🫡

@5n0wl3op4rd @ash_sayyy If UT status could make Mumbai 100x better then why Delhi Chandigarh or Puducherry not able to achieve what Mumbai did in terms of economy. The only UT India should have is Delhi as its the national capital. Rest there is no point of having UT cities

@ash_sayyy Mumbai should've been a UT man. This local political issues constantly drag down Mumbai. They say they want to make Mumbai a global city but harass shopkeepers for not having a signboard in local language. UT could've been 100x better see chandigarh, pondicherry, new delhi

Marathi anglicized elite will support the rights of the Native Americans in the US but will turn cosmopolitan when it comes to “Bombay”. If you have never lived in chawls of Mumbai, you don’t know the reality of ordinary Marathis in the 1960s when the nativist movement started.

@AditiIndiaFirst @Mahesh10816 For the govt to rectify the false Aryan Invasion Theory, the govt needs to have educated people in it. Sadly the NCERT babus k ow nothing other than British-Nehruvian propoganda and the ministers are mostly angootha chaaps or with purchased degrees

@Mahesh10816 It’s an absolute failure of the government to not have rectified this massive wrong even after 12 years!

Fair skinned Aryans / Brahmins crossed these mountain ranges on HORSE PULLED WHEELED CARRIAGES across these khyber mountains and pushed the dark skinned ones to flee. That's the official stand of GOI as it is still in agreement with the Aryan invasion theory You should be a genius to understand this logic

@suktabombil @AditiIndiaFirst Remember it's not just the Rajputs who are at the core of this. The Marwari community that is from Rajasthan have the power of money and they are using that money to suppress Maratha history.

Rajpoots can’t digest the fact that there was a superior Hindu(Maratha) Empire who ruled them. What a jealous community it is! Can’t accept Hindu rulers with open hearts. Removing a Maratha Empire’s map is what their bravery 😭.

@nimishdubey @schoudhury3703 This India vs England series saw the emergence of two players Azharuddin the batsman and Manoj Prabhakar the medium swing bowler. Both played for India for the next many years and both exited due to match fixing allegations. Quite a series

For those of us in India who followed cricket in the 1980s, the defeat against England at home in 1984-85 was particularly traumatising. This was because it was, well, it was simply not SUPPOSED to happen. How could it? England had lost three series in a row, the last being a 5-0 "Blackwash" against West Indies, and had been pushed even by Sri Lanka in a one-off Test. Its best player, Ian Botham, was skipping the tour, and among the rest of its line up, only Gower and Lamb were considered dangerous. The bowling was paper thin, with the likes of Cowans, Foster, Allot, Agnew, Ellison and Chris Cowdrey. Phil Edmonds and Pat Pocock were good spinners, but were supposed to be well past their best. Bob Willis had retired and Graham Gooch, Peter Willey, John Lever, John Emburey and Wayne Larkins were serving bans for touring South Africa. India on the other hand had arguably the best batsman in the world, Sunil Gavaskar, and one of the best bowlers and all rounders in Kapil Dev. Mohinder Amarnath was back in form, Dilip Vengsakar was looking good and so was Sandeep Patil. Add to that one of the best young all rounders in the world (Ravi Shastri) and the best wicket keeper in the world (Syed Kirmani), home conditions and England's legendary inability to handle spin, and it seemed India would coast to an easy win. I mean, India had beaten a much stronger, full strength England team 1-0 three years ago. And for a while, it seemed to go to script. England struggled against the spin of Laxman Sivaramakrishnan (and the umpiring, they claimed) and lost the first Test. David Gower would later wrote that they came across a bowler they had never seen before and an umpire they never wanted to see again. England seemed set for another hammering. So much so that some spectators were seen carrying banners saying "Brownwash" as the first Test was coming to an end. And then it all went horribly wrong. A single session of careless batting, highlighted by loose shots by Kapil Dev and Sandeep Patil, cost India the second Test. And things got worse when both Patil and Kapil Dev were dropped for disciplinary reasons. The deicison generated a lot of controversy and we saw the crowd at Kolkota booing and abusing their own captain so badly that Gavaskar swore he would never play in the city again (he actually refused to play against Pakistan in 1986-87 for that reason, although he changed his mind for the World Cup). Mohinder Amarnath and Shastri continued to bat well for India, although Shastri's insistence on batting at a snail's pace led to the first chants of "Shastri, hai, hai" at Kolkota. This was the match in which Phil Edmonds pretended to be so bored that he stood and read a newspaper while fielding. Azharuddin emerged as a new batting star. But as a team, there was absolutely nothing going for India. Sivramakrishnan took six wickets in each of the first three innings of the series, but got only five more in the next six innings as England seemed to have woked him out. Most shockingly, this was perhaps the first (and only) seiries in which both Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev failed. Kapil got 10 wickets in four Tests at 43.60 while Gavaskar got 140 runs in five Tests at 17.50. What's worse, for most of the series, the two seemed barely on talking terms, although some sort of patch up did occur before the series ended. India hardly ever had a good batting or bowling start in the series, and the English batsmen made merry. Oddly enough, the two English batsmen we had feared the most, Lamb and Gower, had mediocre series. Gatting, Robinson, Fowler, however, scored by the sackful. Their bowlers too struggled most of the time, but had the advantage of playing with big scores behind them - a key factor in their winning at Chennai. It was not a narrow win - India never had a chance after losing the first Test and seemed miles behing an English team that seemed to be enjoying itself under David Gower. Interestingly, many of the English players who did so well, would be out of the team barely a few years later. For India too, many careers came to an end - Anshuman Gaekwad, Ashok Malhotra and Sandeep Patil never played for India again, and Yashpal Sharma was never even considered after a poor ODI series. In the end, India lost a series it was supposed to have won easily against arguably the weakest English ever to tour the country. Many of us still cannot figure out how on earth it happened. It shouldn't have. It couldn't have. It did. #Cricket #80scricket #Gavaskar #KapilDev #Gower #IndianCricket #EnglandCricket #Nostalgia (@Raja_Sw, @SanjayK27310177, @alawyerwrites, @WG_RumblePants, @VatsMusings, @anandkumarn)

@sudhaj12 @TVMohandasPai The foreigners who came to India never tried to alter our culture. Our culture was so strong and flexible that it could adapt and adopt to different practices coming in while maintaining the original faith and ethos.

@TVMohandasPai It’s still mind boggling how foreigners came to India trying to strip its owe natives of their traditions, practices, civilizational roots! It happened again & again & happening still. This history must be part of school curriculum!

The Brutal Goa Inquisition led by the Catholic Church. Never forget

@MakrandParanspe Betrayal of constitution . How ? It's a book which never recognized the interests of India. It's a copy of the Government of India act 1935 of the British

I hate to think of what will happen when the GCs rise to assert their rights, losing trust in a system that betrayed not only their interests but also the Constitution. Better make amends before that happens?

@Tushar_KN @AditiIndiaFirst BJP and Congress are all same from within. The politics, the debates in parliament, dharnas outside, mud slinging - it's all to fool the people. In evening they all eat chole bhature, drink cups of chai or some hard stuff and divide the share. Both BJP and Congress are same

@khanumarfa Muslims were fighting all through for bringing Muslim rule back. When they saw it was not possible in a democratic framework they demanded Pakistan. Those who stayed were either those who liked Hinduism more than islam or those who believed India too could one day be converted

No one wants to turn India into a Muslim country. And India was never a Hindu nation and never will be. We fought for freedom to build a secular, liberal, democratic republic. It’s shameful that India Today has invited such a vicious Islamophobe and brought disgrace upon itself.

@aniruddhgarg @SiddharthKG7 Is there a rule or law that it can't be done half ? Or is there a rule that everything must happen on some specific time. For centuries and centuries Hindus have been fooled thru such superstition. Purpose of muhurat was only to fix appointments for Pandit like doctors do

@sid_deshmuk @SiddharthKG7 Then why to invite him for phera at all ? Either do it fully or dont do it at all

There was this wedding I went to, Pandit ji waited till the muhurt time, bride & groom side took it casual and were late. Pandit ji quietly packed everything and left as time was over. No money. Respect!! Bride side had to arrange a young pandit quickly for the marriage.
