In Centre, busting both Raita and Lafda wingers coz they both hide truth. You can help me https://patreon.com/gemsofindology
Female kawach. Warriors in metal. Before invasion, Indian women wore armor openly.

Not hidden. Not forbidden. Not erased from record.

Then colonial narratives rewrote them as passive.

This is what they tried to bury. 🛡️

AI restorations of Kizil Cave Buddhist paintings reveal something deliberate.

The reatored faces heavily Indian features (AI influence)

But look closer: a central figure surrounded by covered attendants. The same pattern appears in Ajanta frescoes from the same period.

As per historians, this is the famous battle: fake Aryans from Germany on horse chariots 🐎, crossing Alps 🏔️, leaving no Sanskrit trace, drove 50 million Dravidians south 4,500 years ago. How many Dravidians can you count ? 🔍

Wife of, daughter of, son of. 🚺

Wait. "Wife of"? Why not "husband of"? 🤔

Coverture doctrine: a married woman's legal identity absorbed into her husband's. Her surname erased. Her property transferred. Her contracts void. ⚖️

Language reveals the system. 📜

A woman. Playing veena. Carved in stone 2000 years ago.

Not hidden. Not shamed. Not "illegitimate."

Just... a musician. 🎶

Before invasion rewrote what women were allowed to be.

Misclassification and misdating.

In archaeology, dates are not just numbers.
They shape narratives, hierarchies, and legitimacy.

Leaders now pushing population growth to counter threats.

Show me one Indian epic that said: multiply to defeat the enemy.

Breed to win? That's Abrahamic.

Indian philosophy said: act without attachment to outcome.

If number wins Kaurav would have been victorious.

Saraswati Paleochannel. The "lost" river that wasn't myth.

2024 excavations at Bahaj, Rajasthan: 23-meter-deep buried channel discovered beneath the surface. Settlements dated 3500–1000 BCE along its banks.

Rigveda praised her as "best of mothers, best of rivers."

Anuradhapura, Ceylon (today's Sri Lanka) during colonial times, when woman still had some autonomy.

Mughal empire by 1857: ceremonial authority within Delhi's walled city. The Peacock Throne still stood. The territory it commanded? You could see its edges from the ramparts.

The Pandavas fought the Mahabharata war 5,000 years ago after 14 years of exile...
Only for a British clerk in 1933 to exile them again—permanently—from Delhi’s map.

96 years later, bureaucracy still winning. 😭🛐

When even the Pandavas can’t beat Indian bureaucracy.

India needs food security.

So we spray pesticides on every crop. Agrochemical industry adds ₹42,000 crore to GDP.

Then those same chemicals give us cancer. Punjab's cancer belt treats 80,000+ patients yearly. Oncology market? ₹12,500 crore in 2023. Growing at 12% annually.

1/ 8000-year-old grooves found at Srivilliputhur. First in southern Tamil Nadu, they say.

First? 🧐

Keeladi showed urban Tamil life at 600 BCE.
Adichanallur had iron by 3345 BCE.
Porunai had trade before Harappa was even mapped.

So who exactly kept calling it first?

Ever heard of "Adam" teasing Eve?

Kondane Caves, Pune. Ancient stone. Three figures. A man flanked by two women, holding hands openly.

Before invasion taught us shame, our ancestors carved intimacy into rock.

What did they know that we forgot?

Excavation suppression and selective archaeology.

Archaeology is not only about what is excavated.
It is equally about 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭.

/1 Pataleshwar Caves. 8th-century Rashtrakuta temple carved from ONE basalt monolith, buried underground in Pune's heart. Roof collapsing in 2025.

Older than Peshwa Pune. Predates Maratha empire by 950 years.

Yet bureaucrats call it "protected." 🧵

Facts matter. Here's what changed — and what we need to watch. 📋⚖️

Nagini. 10th century CE.

Serpent deity. Female. Standing openly. Adorned.

Before invasion:
🐍 Serpents = wisdom
🚺 Feminine divine = worshipped
👗 Bare torso = sacred

Then colonial morality arrived.

Serpents became evil.
Goddesses needed covering.
December 26, 2025 at 2:30 AM
A deity. Probably part of the original temple complex.

Installed by invaders along the stairs of Bhuleshwar Temple.

A sacred murti—placed at ground level.

Should it be removed? Elevated? Restored to its rightful place?

Or does nobody care anymore?

The DEAD language Sanskrit has 10 million words by conservative estimates.

If you coined 1,000 new words every year, you'd need 10,000 years to match it. English? 170,000 words. Mandarin? Around 370,000.

1/ Every December, lights appear worldwide.

Diwali: diyas blaze during Kartik's darkest new moon (late Oct/early Nov).
Hanukkah: 8 candles in December.
Christmas: trees glow on Dec 25. (Merry Xmas)
Yule, Dongzhi, Saturnalia... all cluster around winter solstice.

Why? 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. 🕯️

Delhi CM won on one agenda: pollution.

One year later, AQI still breaches 400. Stubble burns continue. Vehicle restrictions failed. Odd-even died quietly.

But thank you @gupta_rekha and @BJP4India for "trying". We'll check again next winter when throats burn and schools close. 💨

𝐍𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐥 #𝟏𝟏𝟓. 𝐀𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚, 𝐜. 𝟓𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐲. “𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞.”

Real pigment. Real hierarchy. Fictional myth of “timeless poverty.” 🎨🔥✨

The foreigner sits grounded, bowl balanced with intention; five figures, one economy.
Attention flows inward.

Vaishnavi ? 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚, 𝐜. 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐲. “𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬.”

Real sculpture. Colonial silence. Fictional prudery. 🪨🔥✨

**She** stands carved, not posed—weight shifted, torso alive, breath implied; one body, many arguments.
