Most Historically Accurate Map of the Gauda-Pala Empire 🗺️✨
From the marshes of Bengal to the mountains of Afghanistan, the Pala Empire stood as one of the greatest powers of early medieval India - built by kings whose vision reshaped the subcontinent.

West Bengal Brahmins have the highest reported R1a rates in peer-reviewed studies, reaching ~72% in Sharma et al. 2009 (small sample). UP/Bihar Brahmins often hit 50-67%. Some Khatri/Ahir samples also exceed 60% but with limited n. Northwest groups like Jats and Rors typically fall in the 30-55% range. Overall peaks occur among northern upper castes.
The Varendra Brahmins of Bengal (traditional and only surviving priestly class of Devaraja Indra) have started to bring back the glory of Sahasraksha.

Most people don’t know this, but centuries before modern Western analytical philosophy, Bengali Brahmins engineered one of the sharpest engines of formal logic the world has ever seen: Navya-Nyāya.
At the center was Raghunatha Shiromani from Nadia who shook Indian philosophy ⬇️
It's a call for all the Varendra Brahmins - Worship Indra.
November should be the month of Indra. When Sun enters Scorpio, worship Indra.
10th November is Govardhan Puja, the day Krishna stopped the Indra Mahotsava. That was perhaps the grandest festival this land ever had.
I think that was a mistake, and it’s time we fixed it.
This Govardhan Puja, and every one after, take a moment to remember Devraj Indra alongside Krishna ji. He is the king of the heavens, the king of will and desire.
He doesn’t ask for grand gestures. In a land that has almost forgotten him, two words of prayer will reach him directly:
ॐ इन्द्राय नमः
Om Indraya Namah
Ask him to set you on the path of excellence, to make you the best at whatever you desire. Ask him to make you strong, and to break every wall in your way, the way he broke the rock and set the rivers free.
The new year is less than two months away. Make him a promise that you’ll end it stronger, wiser, wealthier and happier. Then go make that true.
And every time you do something brave, something that scared you, offer it to him:
इदं इन्द्राय
Idam Indraya, “This is for Indra.”
If you want a longer prayer, chant the Indra Gayatri 7 times:
ॐ सहस्रनेत्राय विद्महे वज्रहस्ताय धीमहि।
तन्नो इन्द्रः प्रचोदयात्॥
And if you want a challenge, read Rigveda 2.12. Its refrain is स जनास इन्द्रः, That, O people, is Indra.
In the Harivamsa, after Govardhan, Indra came down, bathed Krishna and crowned him Govinda. They made their peace. But we somehow never did.
India is young and hungry again, and it wants to be the best at everything it touches. That hunger has always had a god. And he is still here, still waiting to be called by the people who once gave him a quarter of the Rigveda.
Krishna gave us the mountain.
Let’s give Indra back his sky.

Brother see what I have found

When the Naxalite unrest shut down his classrooms in 1970, he studied on his own for the board exams. He wrote the exam in Bengali
When he entered Presidency College for his BSc, he had to manually translate scientific terms from Bengali to English during exams.
His name is Ashoke Sen.
One of the greatest Indian physicists alive says he spends 90% of his time stuck with no progress. Not as a young researcher. Even Now. After receiving the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics carrying a $3 million cash reward, three times the amount of a Nobel Prize.
He grew up in Kolkata, the son of a college physics teacher.
Political unrest delayed Calcutta University exams, causing students to lose a full academic year. To avoid losing two more years during his MSc, Sen left Kolkata for @IITKanpur
When it came time to apply abroad for a PhD, he applied to exactly two universities. Not out of strategy. They were the only two he could afford, the ones that didn’t demand an application fee up front.
One was Stony Brook University. He got in.
After research stints at Fermilab and Stanford, he turned down permanent US offers and returned to India in 1988. He chose to work out of a quiet research institute in Prayagraj rather than a flashy global university hub.
In 1994, he proposed a duality in string theory that helped set off a revolution in the field, work that reshaped how physicists understood their own subject.
In 2012, he won the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.
The next morning, he donated a substantial part of the $3 million prize money, hopped on his bicycle, and rode to his humble office in Prayagraj to resume solving equations.
It amazes me how every great physicist has one thing in common - Simplicity

Did you know Unakoti houses an in situ Proto-Bengali (আদি-বাংলা) inscription dating to the 11th–12th century CE?
Located in Kailashahar—historically an integral part of the ancient Śrīhaṭṭa Maṇḍala—this site preserves a rare epigraphic link to regional Śaiva pilgrimage.
Engraved at the base of this stone Caturmukha-liṅga, the short votive label records the name of a medieval pilgrim: “শ্রী জয়দেব” (Śrī Jayadeva).

Major Gen AC Chatterjee established the right-wing Bengali nationalist party "New Bengal Association" (NBA), widely known as the 'Bengali Fascists' [Bengalische Faschisten] in 1946. It argued H Bengalis were a distinct race who needed enough territory to fulfill their destiny.
The Bengal Provincial Hindu Mahasabha, as part of an all-India organisation, could not openly advocate this kind of aggressive Bengali chauvinism, even if some of its members privately shared the Association's worldview.

They used to say- “Why always a Bong”
We say- “India is still not ready for Bengal style of Hindutva”
