The Lost Temples of Ancient KASHMIR

Temple of Meruvarddhanaswami at Pandrethan near Srinagar Pandrethan, now mostly in ruins, is one of Kashmir's historic capitals, said by Kalhana in his poetical account of Kashmiri history called Rajatarangini to have been founded by king Pravarsena in the 6th century AD. Its name thus derives from Puranadishthana or 'old town'. The small stone Shiva temple in the picture dates from the mid-10th century, reputedly erected by a minister named Meru. It was set in a spring-fed tank and its plinth is now submerged. Its interior has one of the finest surviving temple ceilings in Kashmir, consisting of three intersecting squares formed by diagonally placed lintels, the soffit decorated with a lotus. This general view of the temple, showing the collapsing state of the pyramidal masonry roof, is reproduced in Henry Hardy Cole's Archaeological Survey of India report, 'Illustrations of Ancient Buildings in Kashmir,' (1869), in which he wrote, 'The small village of Pandrethan is situated on the Jhelum, about a mile and a half to the south-east of Srinagar...The Temple is close to the village, and stands in the centre of a tank of water...At the time of my visit, the water was about two feet over the floor of the Temple, and I had to obtain a small boat to enable me and my surveyors to take measurements. The stone ceiling is elaborately carved in bas-relief figures, and it is one of the most perfect pieces of ancient carving that exists in Kashmir...The pyramidal roof is divided into two portions by an ornamental band. The corner pilasters are surmounted by carved capitals, and the pediments of the porches appear to have terminated with a melon-shaped ornament. The ceiling is formed of nine blocks of stone; four resting over the angles of the cornice, reduce the opening to a square, and an upper course of four stones still further reduces the opening, which is covered by a single block decorated with a large lotus.

J Sai Deepak VS Owaisi On islamic

"The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. It is the brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only. There is a fraternity, but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation. For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enemity."

Was Gandhi Really A Mahatma

As Indians, it is important to recognize that Lincoln-like figures should be idolized in our country, rather than Gandhi. Our heroes should include figures such as Shivaji Maharaj, Sardar Patel, Subhash Chandra Bose, Chandra Gupta, and the Cholas, who served Bharat and upheld its cultural identity while pursuing national interests.
On a side note, I found the video to be very impressive, and I look forward to seeing more videos like it in the future. Perhaps...Sir, you could consider creating a video that explores the history, present, and future of the Anglo-Saxon Empire.
This was so crisply explained with facts. I used to be a hardcore Lutyens specimen because of being educated in a Christian school. It was only during 2005-06 when my interest in reading changed to history from thrillers and espionage etc., that I learned the true history of my country. Since then, I’ve become humbler and developed a strong sense of pride in being an Indian and a Hindu.
OMG what a coincidence today! This morning I saw a short video where you explained about Eichman (and I watched the movie yesterday about him) and now the explanation whether Gandhi was a mahatma (I was just discussing this with my friend from India). Thank you Sir 🙏🏻 I love India and I have been watching you from Switzerland for quite some time now.

The Unheard History Of The Khotan Kingdom

Abhijit Chavda, he is a theoretical physicist by profession, whose work/readings pan upon a lot of astrophysics and some in the quantum domain. Given the complexity and highly scientific nature of these works, I am inclined to believe his approach is similar to History and Hinduism.
In the multitude of the Ask Me Anything sessions, he does weigh his opinions based on some categorical and circumstantial evidence. He mostly finds incoherent findings and points out alternate theories than mainstream ones.
Coming to how I evaluate his knowledge, I feel he fits into the new age, right-leaning content makers, who use the internet as an alternate to the existing academic channels. This is because, during the cold war times, many academia ( esp in India ) underwent left alignment, which now is beginning to change. Some motivated and interested, even non-academic historians like Abhijit are using this rising interest on the internet for their content.
However, I am of the opinion, history is an art of finding a narrative, looking at a few pieces of evidence. Therefore personal biases are bound to creep in. Abhijit's USP is finding some overlooked and incoherent evidence and using it to speak about alternate theories. This is a great tool in theoretical physics, to disprove hypotheses.
So, I tend to read both sides of the stories and form a balanced opinion. And yes Abhijit Chavda has a good podcast to tune in to.
