    Today in India, it has become a tradition for some so-called liberals and woke people to blame culture, rituals, and tradition for every unfortunate event taking place in the country. We can see them shouting “India is stepping towards becoming a HINDU RASHTRA” and “Intolerance has increased in the country”, “Hindutva is not Hinduism”, “Mughals made India Rich”, etc. over every random issue. What kind of narrative are they trying to create in India?

    I see many pseudo-feminists mocking temples, Hindu gods, and Manusmritis in the name of their so-called women empowerment. While manusmritis itself says “Yatr narayastu pujayante, ramyante tatr devta”, which means where their women are worshipped/respected, there is the abode of god.
    But, they also never say a word upon Halala and Triple Talaq. Even, once I asked a pseudo-feminist girl, about her stand on triple talaq, she replied that triple talaq and halala are justified, and she was looking so convinced with it.
    There are also so many untold stories of many unsung warriors in history, which are gonna be prove a huge source of motivation for the youth of the country. I bet if they once dive into the history of these warriors, they will never dare to mock their own nation, they will never ask what India has given us.

    — We were never taught about the Bappa Rawal, who defeated an Arab Muslim Invader, Md. Bin Qasim so badly, that no Muslim Invader dared to Invade India for 300 years.
    —Why they are teaching about Khilji and Babur, who plundered the culture of India, destroyed many temples, raped as many women he wanted?
    And in addition to that, I also wanna say, they will always say that they were so powerful and were always victorious, but will never tell that how they won the wars by betraying the Kings who followed every rule of war because of their dharma/ethics/culture.

    I have a lot to say. But for now, I just say that, start exploring who you actually are, your ancestors/we have done so many great things which are never gonna happen again. So, just start exploring.

    Alexander claimed himself to be a son of God, but I say, everyone here in India, all of us, are the son of gods.
    Our Sanatan Culture is the most ancient civilization of the universe, we have given birth to humanity.

    Note: This post is based on facts and my personal opinions.
    Dharma here means Duties/Responsibilities/Ethics.

    Good one. The historians and some politicians changed the truth. There are unheard anecdotes are coming out which is out of the books. Recently Archaeological Survey of India found a 10th-century sculpture of sun God in an agriculture field in Andhra Pradesh. I hope we will see many of the same soon… which define India in the true sense.

    Well, it’s a tough one, yes we can say that some of the truth might be hidden from us.
    This post is looking as an anti-Mughals or some kind of way too right wing. Because Mughals also provide us many monuments which are beautiful and contributing to national GDP also.
    Our prime minister also hosted flags that were made by Mughals and the beautiful taj mahal which a symbol of love isn’t adorable?
    Why are you pointing only negative things??

    India was very much rich before Muslim Invaders started ruling India & you think Mughals made India Rich?
    Mughals looted India, destroyed temples and raped women, and many people try to portrait them as a hero, just because they made some monuments, and that too because of us Indians only. If Islamic/Arab architecture was so amazing, then would you please tell me how many Qutub Minar and Taj Mahal were built in Arab?
    I am not so weak that I would start praising Invaders just because they are so-called builders of such so-called monuments.
    This is the misfortune of India I was talking about, that Indians start praising Mughals and start to defend them.
    Mughals were never Indians, rather they invaded India, and yes, being an Indian, I am an Anti-Mughal, that’s why my post also seems to be anti-Mughal.

    Though I mentioned Mughals in my post because as invader they also contributed to the distortion of the culture and history of our India.

    Yes, it is the misfortune of India that we’re taught only about the Taj Mahal and Qutub Minar. There were so many wonderful temples and monuments in India before these so-called Great Emperors of India.
    Many of us may not have also heard about the Nalanda University, where students from many countries used to come to India, but an Invader Bakhtiyar Khilji burnt the university. It is said that there were so many books that the university kept on burning for several days.

    Ramayan and Mahabharat are also considered as Mythology, but actually, they are our History. They just want us to believe that there was no India before the foreign rule.
    We were called the country of snake charmers but they would never tell that we were so much developed that Indians used to calculate the position of Planets and Nakshatras thousands of years ago before NASA.
    We were already the Vishwaguru before the foreigners invaded India.
