The Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, has recently found itself at the center of a heated historical and legal controversy. Allegations that the mosque stands on the site of a former Harihar temple, supposedly demolished by Mughal emperor Babur in 1529, have reignited debates about India's layered history. The court-ordered survey to investigate these claims has not only brought legal complexities but also sparked protests and unrest in the region. Built in the 16th century, the Shahi Jama Masjid is a testament to the rich architectural and cultural legacy of the Mughal era. However, the claims that it replaced an ancient Hindu temple have polarized communities, with some citing historical texts like Baburnama and Ain-e-Akbari to support the petitioners' argument. Conversely, many question the intent and timing of the controversy, suggesting it risks deepening societal divisions. As the matter awaits further judicial review, it is vital to approach such disputes with sensitivity, ensuring that historical interpretations do not become tools of discord. Preserving peace, respecting all communities, and relying on facts over narratives are critical steps forward. What do you think should be the way to handle such sensitive heritage disputes? Let's discuss. #HeritageControversy #ShahiJamaMasjid #IndiaHistory #CommunityHarmony #India #Uttarpradesh #UP #Sambhal #Violence #Politics #Judiciary #courts #administration

According to Jain , Mahavir was born on the thirteenth day of the bright half of the moon in the month of Chaitra in the year 599 BCE (Chaitra Sud 13). Most modern historians consider Kundagram (which is today's Kundalpur in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar) as his birthplace. Mahavir was born in a democratic kingdom (Ganarajya), Vajji, where the king was chosen by votes. Vaishali was its capital. Mahavir was named 'Vardhaman', meaning "One who grows", because of the increased prosperity in the kingdom at the time of his birth. In Vasokund, Mahavir is revered by the villagers. A place called Ahalya bhumi has not been ploughed for hundreds of years by the family that owns it, as it is considered to be the birthplace of Mahavir. Mahavirswami was born into Ikshvaku dynasty as the son of King Siddhartha of Kundagrama and Queen Trishala. During her pregnancy, Trishala was believed to have had a number of auspicious dreams, all signifying the coming of a great soul. Digambara sect of Jainism holds that the mother saw sixteen dreams which were interpreted by the King Siddhartha. . It is said that when Queen Trishala gave birth to Mahavir, Indra, the head of heavenly beings (devas) performed a ritual called abhisheka on Sumeru Parvat, this being the second of five auspicious events (Panch Kalyanakas), said to occur in the life of all Tirthankaras. #broadband #WIFI #internetserviceprovider #homewifi #BroadbandForAll #HighSpeedInternet #fibre #FastInternet #mbps #fiberoptics #InternetConnection #MahavirJayanti #MahavirJayanti2024

https://lnkd.in/dNknPyVi A man on the way to change Bihar - again a very powerful & insightful interview by Prashant Kishore (PK) Few insights- 1. Stability scares me -change is only constant. 1.India has 7 lakhs villages but 90% population lives only in 1 lakhs villages. 3. Bihar has 40000 villages but 80% population lives only in 12000 villages. Bihar and Bihari do deserve better. Jansuraj Conversation for a positive change

"The People's Throne: A Leader's Journey in the World's Largest Democracy" Power is a double-edged sword. It can be wielded for the greater good, uplifting the lives of millions, or it can be used to enrich the few at the cost of the many. In the political landscape, these choices often define the legacy of leaders. This book is a work of fiction, yet it is inspired by the real world we live in—a world where leaders rise on the backs of noble promises, but their paths can diverge dramatically once in power. The People’s Throne is a tale of two leaders, each representing opposing sides of the political spectrum. It is about a leader who faced unimaginable hurdles, but through his dedication and commitment to his people, came out stronger. On the other hand, it reflects the fate of a leader who, despite all the riches and media influence, saw his empire collapse due to corruption and greed. From the challenges of governance and the manipulation of the media to scandals and public opinion, this story takes you behind the scenes of political power. It shows how the very institutions meant to protect democracy can sometimes be bent to serve private interests. And in the end, it is a reminder that true power lies with the people.

This is not about North or South India, it’s about the faith and sentiments of millions of Hindus. How can we stay silent when our sacred beliefs are under attack? The previous @ysjagan govt hurt the very essence of Sanatana Dharma.

This Rare Historical material is the Golden heritage of "Bharatiya Sanskar for the World" "I am Niranjan M Mehta, the grandson of Nautamlal B Mehta. With great respect, I dedicate www.NautamlalMehta.com to my grandfather, My father, and two uncles for their great sacrifice for Bharat Mata (Mother India). Despite belonging to one of the wealthiest families in Gujarat, he has committed to Independence for hundreds of years. The movement was remarkable. They never sought publicity or took advantage of their connection. This is a valuable piece of historical material that belongs to the unsung heroic family of Nautamlal B Mehta from Jetpur. The family made significant contributions to India’s freedom from British rule as early as 1900 by following the Gandhian path for the betterment of the world. This material is a priceless heritage that reminds us of their sacrifices and dedication. It was their karmic duty, and they never considered it a sacrifice. The noble sacrifice of Manilal and Vajubhai, two brothers, demonstrated their “Mahanta” and “Atma sarpan,” which means sacrificing with nobility and grace. They accepted their compromising circumstances with incredible respect and refinement without mentioning their sacrifice. We could have employed a book writer, film producer, or journalist to add more drama and publicity to our historical material. However, such an approach would go against our values and is unnecessary since the documents are self-explanatory with just a few lines. This historical material is a priceless part of India’s rich history and can only be appreciated by those who deeply understand Bharatiya Sanskar. Understanding its significance is ultimately up to your sense, logic, and judgment. www.nautamlalmehta.com "

After all, what is at stake is an India that is stained with blood as prompted by Golwalkar and Godse or one with a promise of fraternity, peace and justice as Gandhi and Ambedkar hoped for, Rajendran Narayanan writes. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/grPXpg5z #GandhiJayanti

Do you think the negative perception of West Bengal is the actual drawback for our growth? While we all agree that West Bengal is economically much behind than most other Indian States, the negative perception about the State actually does more harm. Most of this perception is created because of choosing to ignore the good things that have happened here over the last 20 years. So, the reasons are not solely political. Do you have a different opinion?
