As Joel Mokyr once said: "The responsibility of economic historians is to remind the world what things were like before 1800."
Read this review to see how bad it was . . .
Spoiler: really bad!

Giving him credit for the Hyderabad operation is the last thing one should do. Literally called Patel a “communalist” for advocating it
Plus wtf are u talking about China 😭 Forward policy was to take own territory+ he was actually outraged when Patel & Kathing took Tawang

.@4point2KILOyear took a 20-year-old pile of objection letters and turned it into the clearest account I’ve read of how a constituency map gets bent.
Boundaries First Essay On How Sharad Pawar Redrew The Map For His Daughter Supriya Sule.

Our first essay.
In 2006 the Delimitation Commission rejected every Shiv Sena objection to its draft, then adopted a plan for Pune’s four Lok Sabha seats sent by three men on the ruling side (NCP-INC Alliance).

This Deepavali, a lamp worth lighting: Smriti, @mid_org's record of India’s civilizational heritage, now holds over 11 lakh manuscript records and 1 lakh inscriptions, free to search, in one place.
That is roughly a tenth of the 1 crore+ manuscripts India’s national survey has mapped, and about a third of the 3 lakh inscriptions estimated to survive. To our knowledge, no other open platform brings Indian manuscripts and inscriptions together, at this scale.
When we, @Shreyas_mysuru, @SudarshanHS, @RahulDewanV2 & I, started on this journey a year ago, the intent was: a dataset that is public & free. What we have managed so far is owed to our donors, teammates, volunteers, custodians and partners.
This year, there are two priorities:
1. A platform for researchers and enthusiasts to add to and correct the knowledge base.
2. Fresh digitisation grants to partner institutions, for which we are raising a corpus of ₹15 crore.
A request to every donor: be our ambassador. Every hour spent fundraising is an hour not spent digitising. If you would like to help or volunteer, please write to [email protected] or DM @midf_org.

Like almost all autobiographies, Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography is NOT about what happened, but what she wants the world to BELIEVE happened.

Here read the thoughts of first Indian C-in-C KM Cariappa who also admired Veer Savarkar. You will also label him anti-Muslim now.

Proposal by Charan Singh to kick out Muslims from the UP police discharging trainees enmasse while compulsorily retiring personnel & capping future recruitment at 15%.
He was also against issuing public motor transport licenses to them

The economics segment of the recently introduced NCERT textbooks for Social Science (Grade 9, Part 2) now has a chapter on personal finance. Students are taught basics about fixed deposits, mutual funds, EMI, taxes, risk-return and so on. The idea is to provide them with useful life skills. 1/2

Still RSS and “Sanghis” are the ones that respect them in whatever capacity. The other side doesn't even bother reading them. I doubt if they even know the names of Swami Karpatri and SRG.
And also Savarkar's views were not entirely critical of RSS he has praised them as well.

For decades I have been reading about Veer Savarkar, and everytime I read I wonder if this man thought anything else other than his country. His poems, his natak's , his books, everything even outside of his political and revolutionary life are about Bharat !
undoubtadly, the greatest patriot Bharat ever produced.
The clarity 🔥
There was only one Savarkar.

Part-2 of my conversation with @jsaideepak on the history, scope, misuse, and dangers of the SC/ST Act.
J. Sai Deepak @jsaideepak & Ashish Dhar @infinitchy return to the SC/ST Act debate: presumed guilt, blatant misuse and the law that is irreversibly damaging Hindu society.
