@fawadchaudhry @GovtofPunjabPK @NYCMayor You mean that Pakistan is the inheritor of the Indian civilization ! Maharaja Ranjit Singh was a secular Sikh ruler who never differentiated between any religion . Your country is based on a religion . How can you compare yourself to be the custodians / inheritors of anything ?

Mayor sahib! The #Kohinoor belongs to the history of Punjab. As the last sovereign owner was Maharaja #RanjitSingh, whose capital was Lahore, the diamond should be repatriated to the @GovtofPunjabPK. It is a matter of historical accuracy and regional heritage. @NYCMayor

Around 1900s, a striking photograph was taken in Bengal, British India, showing a Sikkimese (Bhutia) woman carrying a European man in a large wicker basket strapped to her back... The image offers a rare glimpse into the interactions between Europeans and local populations during the colonial era.
According to photo sources, the image was taken in the hilly regions of West Bengal, British-India (likely Sikkim or nearby Himalayan foothills area). The woman is a local Bhutia porter wearing traditional patterned attire and going barefoot, which was typical for hill people skilled at navigating steep, rugged mountain paths where roads, vehicles, or standard palanquins weren’t practical. The man is a French (some source said Greek) merchant associated with Ralli Brothers, a Greek-owned jute trading company based in Manchester with operations in Calcutta). He’s dressed in period Western clothing: a suit, dress shoes, and a boater (straw) hat, with a mustache.
Local porters (often called “coolies” or using “doko”-style or similar burden baskets) in the Himalayan foothills and Northeast hill regions were renowned for extraordinary strength. They routinely carried heavy loads—goods, people, or supplies—using forehead straps and back baskets over difficult terrain. This photo appears to capture a demonstration of that strength or a lighthearted/touristy moment rather than routine forced labor (baskets were mainly for goods, not passengers). Similar scenes exist from the era in places like Darjeeling, Sikkim, or Assam hills.
In recent years, this photo went viral on social media tittled as 'The Face of Colonialism in India' as "A Sikkimese woman carrying a British man on her back, West Bengal, India, circa 1900 or A Bengali woman carrying her British ‘master’ during British colonial rule in 1903 India.", in others there’s even a claim of the man being an officer. This photo gets quite a bit of attention whenever it is shared, at first sight it appears to be a typical example of colonialist oppression; a poor native woman being forced to carry her British master. During this time, the British Empire had a significant presence in India, with regions like West Bengal attracting many Westerners. These travelers often interacted with locals, resulting in photographs that contrasted Western and indigenous ways of life. According to John Kelly PHD, the photo does not show a British coloniser forcing a Bengali woman to carry him at all, but that what we see is actually a local woman willingly demonstrating her strength to a French colonial administrator of French Indochina called François Pierre Rodier during his visit to Myanmar (Burma) after he had mentioned how impressed he was by her being able to carry such heavy loads.
However, the story of this being a typical depiction of colonial oppression of women being forced to carry their masters is unfounded in this case, as she is not carrying her British or French master. There is no evidence that she is being forced or coerced to carry the man but there is also no proof that she is doing this voluntarily or as part of an innocent demonstration. The carriers from that region were indeed known for their strength and ability to carry heavy loads, these baskets meant to carry heavy loads and sometimes or rarely used to transport humans whenever the ground conditions due to weather not suitable for journey. But this photograph still debatable among the scholars and researchers.
In the end, this photo highlights the unusual representation, complexities and contradictions of colonial relationships.

Revered Ramchandra Dongre Maharaj…
A saintly narrator of the Bhagavata, who once said that even for his wife’s last rites, he had no money and might have to sell her mangalsutra.
It is deeply moving to know that saints like Dongre Maharaj truly lived in our times. He never accepted even a single rupee for reciting the Bhagavata. He would only accept a tulsi leaf. Whatever donations came during his discourses were distributed in that very town or village for the welfare of the poor. He never created a trust and never made disciples for personal legacy.
He cooked his own meals, first offered them to Thakurji, and only then partook of the prasada. Dongre Maharaj was truly a Karna of Kaliyuga.
At one of his final discourses at Chowpatty, nearly one crore rupees was collected, and the entire amount was donated for a cancer hospital in Gorakhpur. He kept nothing for himself.
Dongre Maharaj was married. On the very first night after marriage, he told his wife:
“Devi, I wish that you and I complete 108 recitations of the Bhagavata together. After that, if you still wish, we shall enter household life.”
Wherever he went to recite the Bhagavata, his wife accompanied him. It took nearly seven years to complete 108 discourses. Afterward, he gently asked her:
“If you permit, we may now enter grihastha life and have children.”
His wife replied:
“After hearing 108 Bhagavata Kathas from your sacred lips, I have accepted Gopal Himself as my son. We no longer need children of our own.”
Blessed was such a husband. Blessed was such a wife. Blessed was their devotion and their love for Krishna.
His wife lived in Mount Abu while Dongre Maharaj continued spreading the nectar of Bhagavata across the country.
He learned of her passing five days later. When he went for the immersion of her ashes, a wealthy businessman named Ratibhai Patel accompanied him. Later, Ratibhai tearfully recounted that Dongre Maharaj had said:
“Rati Bhai, I have nothing with me. The rites will require some expense. Let us sell her mangalsutra and earrings, and whatever comes from that can be used for the immersion.”
The same saint for whom thousands would have given everything was quietly saying he had no money even for his wife’s final rites.
Ratibhai said he could do nothing but weep.
Such detached souls are the rare jewels of Sanatana Dharma.
To bow before the feet of such a saint even a million times still feels too little.

Simranjeet Singh @SimranjitSADA advocates Nobel Peace Prize for Failed Marshal Munnir at Amritsar.
Remember Munir's Army fired missiles at Darbar Sahib (Golden temple) during OP Sindoor.
No wonder his grandfather Arur Singh honored General Reginald Dyer with a siropa (robe of honor) at the Akal Takht shortly after the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
