Points to ponder about Shahjahan
1. Shahjahan was a cruel king. On becoming the king, Shahjahan imprisoned his step mother Nur Jahan. He sent brother Shahryar to the gallows. He had earlier got rid of brother Khusrau. Now he got Khusrau's sons Dawar and Garshasp executed.
2. He loved only violence and sex. He has no artistic sensibilities. *He raped his own daughter Jahanara and justified it, saying that a gardener
3. A ruffian by nature, Shahjahan refused to be tutored by the plethora of tutors appointed from time to time. His misdeeds of dacoity and arson throughout India, while in revolt against his emperor father Jehangir, made the latter record,
How dare any historian ignore the father's estimate of his own son and call the miscreant a noble lover of art and finer things.
3. There is no evidence of Shahjahan being deeply attached to
Mumtaz-ul-Zamani's name is changed by the historians to Mumtaz Mahal to suit the story of Tajmahal.
4. No historian has ever tried to verify the myth of Shahjahan's authorship o
6. How could such a man even think of
7. It is only a myth that Shahjahan ordered for dismembering the hands of labourers engaged in the construction of the Taj.
8. But Shahjahan's own official chronicle, the Badshanama, admits on page 403 of volume I, that the Taj Mahal was Mansingh's palace taken from
9. It is not known whether Mumtaz-ul-Zamani died in 1630 or 1631 A.D. And yet the whole cumbersome procedure of a disconsolate Shahjahan regaining his mental equilibrium, calling for world tender of a design, selection of the
10. In the case of the Taj Mahal, there is proof to assert that far from spending even a farthing on the Taj Mahal, Shahjahan made enormous profit in grabbing this Hindu palace. He carried away its silver doors,
11. Since Shahjahan ascended the throne in 1628 A.D. & Mumtaz died in 1630 or 1631 A.D. he could not have launched on such a fabulous project when at the very beginning of
12. Horrid famines took over the people of Hindusthan during Shahjahan's reign because of his plunder regime. Not to talk of plenty
Destitution at last reached such a pitch that men began to devour each other, and the flesh of a son was preferred to his love. The numbers of the dying caused obstruction in the road."

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ
1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE
2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n
3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)
(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)
4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.
For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3
5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
