    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. Jahangir's brother Daniyal had died earlier. Shahjahan now killed Daniyal's sons Tahmuras and Hoshang ― all on 23 January 1628. 2. He loves only violence and sex. He has no artistic sensibilities. *He raped his own daughter Jahanara and justified it, saying that a gardener must enjoy the fruit he produced.* 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, in sheer despair and anguish, that his son Shahjahan was a wretch and a scoundrel.

" महंगी - गरीबी " अर्थात ... गरीब दिखने के लिए आपको बहुत खर्चा करना पड़ता है। गांधीजी की गरीबी ऐसी ही थी। एक बार सरोजनी नायडू ने उनको मज़ाक में कहा भी था कि “ आप को गरीब रखना हमें बहुत महंगा पड़ता है !!” ऐसा क्यों ?...... गांधी जी जब भी तीसरे दर्जे में रेल सफर करते थे तो वह सामान्य तीसरा दर्जा नहीं होता था। अंग्रेज नहीं चाहते थे की गांधी जी की खराब हालातों में , भीड़ में यात्रा करती हुई तस्वीरें अखबारों में छपे उनको पीड़ित ( विक्टिम ) कार्ड का लाभ मिले। इसलिए जब भी वह रेल यात्रा करते थे तो उनको विशेष ट्रेन दी जाती थी जिसमें कुल 3 डिब्बे होते थे ..... जो केवल गांधी जी और उनके साथियों के लिए होते थे , क्योंकि हर स्टेशन पर लोग उनसे मिलने आते थे। इस सब का खर्चा बाद में गांधीजी

  Truth of Sufism The general impression about Sufis in the Indian sub-continent revolves around spiritual, mystic or religious thoughts and practices. This is probably because their relevance and influence in politics of yesteryears is seldom mentioned, let alone highlighted, in modern historical narratives. Actually, Islam lacks philosophy and spirituality. There was nothing but violence that is at the core of their religion. So called Sufis found that Bhakti marg attracts Bhole-Bhale hindus because of absence of rituals. They sniffing the opportunity developed a strategy. Sufism is nothing but a hodge podge of appropriated concepts from Vedanta, Buddhism & Kashmiri Shaivism (Tantra) & practises from Yoga that were Islamized with familiar Persian & Arabic terms & conventions to normalize the foreignness of these concepts. Those discerning have always known Sufism as deceit and subterfuge to lull Hindus into inaction before
