2w ago
I have revived the one-shot comic strip titled “Aaj Ka Popat” which made a brief appearance in 2010 i.e 14 years back. How time flies! I aim to produce this on a regular basis, at least a couple of them a month. The first point of publishing the cartoons will be on http://www.aajkapopat.wordpress.com Depending on the frequency with which I can create and release the strips, I will be publishing them here in a digest form once or twice a month. This is to avoid spamming subscribers who will visit both this blog and the Popat blog. Feel free to leave your views in the comments ..read more

New Video Series: The Destruction of Roman Temples by Christians

This video series will shed light on the wholesale loot and destruction of Roman temples by Christians during the 4th and 5th centuries of the Common Era. Ancient Rome/Greece/Egypt were extensions of the Sanatana Dharma of India and this is easily perceived by understanding their Devatas and the rituals they practiced when worshiping the Devatas. That connection has been deliberately forgotten and erased in the last 200-300 years. This video series will highlight some of the connections I can perceive with my limited knowledge. The first video in this series will explore the history of Serapeu ..read more

The Slavery of Bharatiyas (Indians) by the British- The case of Forced Labour in British India Part 4

This is continuation of the series on Forced Labour by the British in Bharata. The earlier parts can be accessed here: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. 1.  British Official Attitude towards Forced Labour The British attitude towards forced labour is quite interesting. In most of the documents in the Dharampal collection, the one thing that comes out very clearly is that the British officials saw the practice as illegal. There are very few exceptions to this rule. After accepting that the practice is illegal, most collectors then either rationalized the practice as a “necessary evil” or de ..read more

The Slavery of Bharatiyas(Indians) by the British- The case of Forced Labour in British India Part 3

1. Effects of forced labour Desolation of villages: The most damaging effect of forced labour was that entire villages and settlements were abandoned as people ran away to escape being brutalised by the Christian whites. The problem was particularly acute in villages which bordered major highways. Tradesmen such as blacksmiths were particularly vulnerable to being dragged away by the British soldiers[i]. A very early record of villagers abandoning settlements is available from a Board of Revenue proceeding from 1795. This was a direct consequence of the fear generated in the people’s mind ..read more

Eminent historian Sri Dharampal (Image taken from here) Before launching into the article, I would like to remember the legendary historian of Bharata -Sri Dharampal. Readers will probably be familiar with his ground-breaking work on Bharatiya society on the eve of British occupation. Over the course of decades, he diligently collected original material on British India and brought to light how the Christian British destroyed our industry, education system, distorted our culture and subverted Hinduism for their own ends. Most the material he collected from the India Office records ( stored in ..read more

Of Indological Frauds and False Gods : Book review of “Truths- 500 Years European Christians in History”

Indological Frauds and False Gods   Prologue: I was first sent this book for review nearly 4 years ago, around 2016, but life intervened and every time I sat down to write a review, something came along and derailed the process. Given the nature of the book, I kept coming back with the intention to read and review it every year. This led to me reading through it 4 times over an equal number of years. This year I decided that it had to get out of my “To do” basket. Here is the review of a worthwhile book which makes us rethink some of the crap we have been fed by our useless education sys ..read more
