Pandit Ramachandra Kak is a legend we should all know. Unfortunately, pop history doesnโt talk much about him. We should all read his first hand account of the tumultuous days of J&K. Smt Radha Rajanโs Jammu & Kashmir Dilemma of Accession is a #MostRecommended #MustRead 2/2

Today is J&K accession day. Hereโs my attempt to profile three main actors about who we donโt know much or have a lot of misconceptions. Please read and comment.

Honoured to have participated in the platinum jubilee celebrations of my alma mater, Seethalakshmi Ramaswami College in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu. Memories are fresh and I drew inspiration from the enthusiastic students and teachers. Wishing the college several more jubilee celebrations.
Smt @nsitharaman participated in the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of Seethalakshmi Ramaswami College in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu.
During the event, she inaugurated the Platinum Jubilee Exhibition, paid floral tributes to the founders and released the Platinum Jubilee Souvenir.
There cannot be a crueller joke than this!
Leftist distortians like Romila Thapar, who drew heavily upon Western and colonial historiography and promoted contested narratives such as โAshoka ruled before Yudhishthiraโ through their writings and even in school textbooks, are now making such claims!
It is, in fact, Indic scholars who have sought to correct these distortions through indigenous primary sources, including our scriptures, inscriptions and literary traditions, who are qualified to make such a statement.

Congratulations on a wonderfully organised event! The sessions were truly outstanding and insightful. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

As we wrapped up the 5th edition of the @GhatsLitFest, my heart filled with joy and pride. This year we had minister @sarbanandsonwal addressing us online and HE Thiru @rajendraarlekar, Governor of TN presiding over the valedictory session. We also had very interesting sessions by @sanjeevsanyal @ARanganathan72 @LtGenDPPandey @drrbalu @6amiji @abhijitmajumder @subbubooks @Sai_swaroopa M R Venkatesh, @tskrishnan, the princess of Travancore, Padmashri Gowri Lakshmi Bayee, @Ashwinsampathk @nandinisgTOI @anandasjayant and many others. Had a full house on both days. Look forward to the 6th Edition to be held on 6th and 7th of November, 2027 in Coimbatore. Watch this space! @jaggu916
The reigns of Aditya I and Parantaka I witnessed the construction of numerous temples along the banks of the Kaveri. One such remarkable example is the Vada Thirthanathar Temple at Andanallur, near Tiruchirappalli.
This Shiva temple was built by Sembiyan Irukkuvel, also known as Poodi Parantakan. An inscription in the temple records that the chieftain sought land from the king for its construction. Having obtained the land, he built the temple and performed โJala Samprokshanamโ (the consecration ceremony).
Interestingly, the inscription specifically mentions Jala Samprokshanam, not Kudamuzhukku.
The chieftain also made extensive land endowments to support the temple's daily rituals and upkeep. These included provisions for:
- Sennadai (food offerings)
- Eight perpetual lamps
- Four Manis (temple accountants)
- Two conch blowers and two trumpet blowers
- two flower garlands every day
- Temple cleaning and maintenance
- Recitation of Thevaram Pathigams
What makes this inscription particularly fascinating is that the temples were not merely constructed and consecrated; they were endowed with resources to ensure the continuity of worship, music, offerings and daily services.

No Swayamsevak convicted in 1993 Chennai RSS HQ bomb blast case, where 9 killed.
No Swayamsevak has been convicted or charged in 1997 Chennai train bombings, 9 killed, 70 injured.
No Swayamsevak has been charged or convicted in 1998 Coimbatore serial blasts case, 58 killed, 900+ injured.
No Swayamsevak was charged in Kaliyakkavilai SSI Y. Wilson murder case in 2020.
The suicide bomber who exploded near Sangameswarar Temple, Coimbatore, was not a Swayamsevak.
None of the 5 life convicts who came recently out on a 60 days parole, is a Swayamsevak.
Have handed over your gift to @ARanganathan72 ji !
