There is zero contemporary evidence of Buddha’s birth. Yet Buddha is believed to have lived and is now worshipped. There are no evidences of St. Thomas bringing Christianity to Kerala around 52 CE, and is in all probability a fake narrative created by evangelists. Yet

Here's the woman showcasing yet another dance gesture in a nritya mudra. She likely held a significant role in her era. Regrettably, our historians have simply reduced her identity to calling her Yakshi.

Vaishnavi on Garuda. This image of a powerful goddess on a robust creature challenges the "civilizations" introduced by both I$lamic and xitian invaders. Here lies the distinction.
The depiction of Goddess Lakshmi riding Garuda highlights a rare representation of divine femininity commanding a traditionally masculine symbol, illustrating the empowered roles of women before external forces disrupted India's societal structures. Enhanced through AI for

Consider if the wealth taken by the West from Asia, Africa, and America had remained with the natives; Europeans might have been the ones seeking entry to witness our grandeur. It's crucial to address internal weaknesses before achieving true superpower status.

@asigoi said "before Akbar's time, the higher ridge was uninhabited," But then the excavations proved that @asigoi was lying. And Saraswati below shows how fake the story of Fatehpur Sikri is! This too needs to be reported to @narendramodi ji @asigoi is yet to apologize to
Fatehpur Sikri was ‘built’ by Akbar (not a Hindu) in 1571, on the ruins of a pre-existing settlement that included Jain and Hindu temples. Archaeological excavations have uncovered numerous Jain murtis, architectural fragments, and a 1000 year old foundation stone of a Jain

GDP: The Ultimate Idol of Today's Economic Systems™ Funny thing—ancient Hindu wisdom delved deeply into the Purusharthas (four core life objectives: Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha), but contemporary economists seem to have settled on a simpler narrative: "it's all about the money,
