THE RISE OF KHALISTANI SLOGANS
In 1980's and early 90's, The demand of Khalistan in Punjab was at peak. B/w 1979 - 1989, 5000 civilians were killed in Punjab by Pro Khalistani Terrorists. In 1990 - 1991, more than 5,058 civilians and hundreds of police personnel were killed.

 This was the worst period of voilence in Punjab, Militants and Pakistanis were claiming that Punjab had liberated zones. These zones existed in the regions of Punjab called "MAJHA", which was the worst effected district of Punjab.
On 30 September 1990, around 200 Pro Khalistani Militants attacked BALWINDER SINGH SANDHU'S house and the security provided by State Government ran out of fear. Undaunted, the Sandhu brothers and their wives fought the terrorists with their pistols and sten guns
provided by the Government. The resistance shown by the Sandhu brothers and their family members forced the terrorists to retreat.
Family has displayed courage and bravery of a high order in facing the attack of the terrorists and foiling their repeated murderous attempts.
Mr. BALWINDER SINGH SANDHU & Mr. RANJIT SINGH SANDHU along with their wives Mrs. JAGDISH KAUR & Mrs. BALRAJ KAUR was attacked around 20 times in between 1988 - 1991.
They were awarded the SAURYA CHAKRA in 1993 for their armed struggle against militancy in Punjab (Pro Khalistani Terrorism) through the 80's and early 90s. The civilian family has been on the hit list of militants ever since.
On 16 October, 2020; BALWINDER SINGH SANDHU was shot dead by two motorcycle - brone unidentified assailants at his residence in Bhikhiwind, Tarn Taran, Punjab.
Sandhu’s family alleged that his security had been withdrawn earlier this year and they had been constantly trying to get in touch with Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Dinkar Gupta to redeploy the police with them.
Only one person had been attached to him who too remained absent for weeks. (As per statement given by Widow JAGDISH KAUR)
Family of BALWINDER SINGH believes that he was killed by Khalistani militants as he was the one who fought against them even managed to put a stop on Pro Khakistani activities in Punjab.
Where as, the Police connected the assainiation with personal enmity and  with his son who is an office bearer in the Student's body of Khalsa College in Amritsar and Police are also looking it as a result of students politics. Other possibilites are also looked out.
However, Police has arrested 16 accused yet. On 8 December, 2020; Special Cell of Delhi Police said that he was assassinated for being vocal against terrorism and extremism. His death was an "ACT OF TERROR".
The probe suggests that the two arrested assassins, Gurjit Singh alias Bhaa and Sukhdeep Singh alias Bhura, were roped in by Dubai-based gangster Sukhmeet Pal Singh alias Sukh Bhikhariwal through gangsters Ravinder Singh alias Gyani and Sukhraj Sukka, who are lodged in Ferozepur.
Bhikhariwal was asked by ISI to kill Sandhu as he became a soft target after his security cover was removed by the state government a few months ago.
Now, The CM Mr. Amrinder Singh is supporting #FarmersProtest where we can hear Pro - Khalistani Slogans and several banners are also at display demanding division of India.
Journalist Seema Mustafa called Aroosa Alam (alleged ISI Agent) a former Journalist as the FIRST LADY OF PUNJAB. Writer Sobhaa De called Aroosa Alam as Amrinder Singh's live - in - partner.
Aroosa met Captain Amarinder Singh in 2004 when he visited Pakistan. A former journalist, Aroosa is the daughter of Akleen Akhtar, a socialite who influenced Pakistan's polity in 1970s. Aroosa's mother was considered very close to the military establishment.
Aroosa Alam inherited her mother's network. When she became a journalist, she chose reporting on the military where she had an inside view.
Now you may easily connect dots. The #Farmersprotest in India is fuelled by Pro - Khalistani Militants and ISI along with the help of CCP.
Disclaimer:- I rest my case here. These all are my research. I am not putting allegations on anyone. I just wrote what I have observed. I collected the data and informations through several news articles, news videos and some of my perceptions.

The Panch Kedar Mandirs are amongst the most divine pilgrimage sites for followers of Sanatan Dharm. Apart from being Bhagwan Shiv`s abodes, they bear a strong connection to our history. Let`s explore their origins. #Thread


As per legend, the Panch Kedar Mandir relate directly to the Mahabharat and are an important part of our history. At the time of Mahabharat after the Kurukshetra Yudh, the Pandavs committed the sin of “Gotra Hatya” and “Brahmanahatya” by killing the Kauravs and Guru Droṇacarya.


Wanting to repent, Pandavs handed over the control of their kingdom to their kin and left in search of Bhagwan Shiv to ask for his forgiveness. Initially the Pandavs went to Kashi in search of Bhagwan Shiv but couldn`t find him there.


Bhagwan Shiv was furious at the deceit, death and destruction taking place during the Kurukshetra war. He was indifferent to the Pandavs prayers and took the form of a powerful bull and hid in the Gharwal Himalayas.


As Pandavs did not find Bhagwan Shiv in Kashi, after wandering for a bit they went to Gharwal Himalayas. The second eldest Pandav Bhim spotted a large bull grazing near GuptKashi in Kedar Kantha.

Mines had always had a large female element in their workforce; women were generally employed to carry coal to the surface. It was only in 1842 – with the Mines Regulation Act – that women and young children were banned from working below ground.


The following passage is an extract of a book that was published by Robert Bald, a mining engineer at Alloa, in 1812.

Robert Bald, A General View of the Coal Trade of Scotland, Chiefly that of the River Forth & Lothian, to which is Added an Inquiry into the Condition of the Women who Carry Coals under Ground in Scotland, Known by the Name of Bearers, Edinburgh: Oliphant, Waugh and Innes, 1812

In those collieries where this mode is in practice, the collier leaves his house for the pits about eleven o’clock at night, (attended by his sons, if he has any sufficiently old), when the rest of mankind are retiring to rest. Their first work is to prepare coals, by hewing

them down from the wall. In about three hours after, his wife (attended by her daughters, if she has any sufficiently grown) sets out for the pit, having previously wrapped her infant child in a blanket, and left it to the care of an old woman, who, for a small gratuity,

one of the things i like about Batman is that it's fundamentally about being orphaned, and being an orphan — how this guy stays tethered to the world in his own weird, abstract, extrajudicial way when he feels that his link to it has been violently severed

Batman does this by permanently recapitulating his own trauma: solving crimes for other people, protecting them. But that's actually just the beginning; he also recapitulates his own experience of orphanness by essentially raising several orphans

Dick is an orphan in the traditional sense: dead parents. Batman sees it happen. Jason, less so: missing dad, known mom who eventually dies. Tim, even less so: parents are around a while, and involved, before both dying. Carrie, even less than that: negligent parents.

Steph: evil father, who openly works against her. And then there's Damian, whose parents are both alive and yet both have identities that totally obliterate their role as his parents. He doesn't relate to them as a mother and father; he can't, and neither can they.

In all these different cases, Batman tries all these different ways of making orphanness for them not what it was for him: Either by trying to teach them the (arguably poor) coping skills early that he learned over a very long time, or by literally legally adopting them, etc.

1/Politics thread time.

To me, the most important aspect of the 2018 midterms wasn't even about partisan control, but about democracy and voting rights. That's the real battle.

2/The good news: It's now an issue that everyone's talking about, and that everyone cares about.

3/More good news: Florida's proposition to give felons voting rights won. But it didn't just win - it won with substantial support from Republican voters.

That suggests there is still SOME grassroots support for democracy that transcends

4/Yet more good news: Michigan made it easier to vote. Again, by plebiscite, showing broad support for voting rights as an

We seem to have accepted electoral dysfunction in Florida as a permanent thing. The 2000 election has never really

Do you know?

Multiverse is mentioned in several of Hindu Scriptures.

In 1927 came a theory named 'Big Bang' which was a scientific effort to provide some explanation about how our Universe came into existence. It suggested that Universe started as a tiny, hot and dense...


...something that expanded rapidly from the singularity with a big explosion or Big Bang from which formed the galaxies, stars and the rest of the Universe.
However, the science in our Vedas explained these concepts since millennia. Rig Veda mentions Hiranyagarbha and Brahmanda..

...Visphotak which talks about a similar theory.
The concept of Parallel universes may be novel to the modern scientists but it rests very comfortably in ancient Hindu Cosmology. The Puranas are replete with descriptions of many worlds whose inhabitants are ruled by kings in...


...the human plane and Gods in a higher plane. The many Gods in turn belong to many different worlds and planes of existence. At the highest level of hierarchy are the trinity namely Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesha, ruling the divine Kingdoms. Brahma is the creator who dreams...


...the Universe into being, which is maintained by Vishnu. What Humans perceive as reality is in fact the dream of Brahma, misled by matter. Brahman( not to be confused with Brahma) is the ground of all reality & existence. Brahman is uncreated,external, infinite & all-embracing.
