A Letter from a Wronged Hindu Father Destroys Portuguese Power in the Persian Gulf   Narottam, the Muscat-based Hindu businessman decides to outwit and punish the Portuguese commandant, Pareira who lusts after his daughter.   Accordingly, he wrote a long and precise letter to Sultan bin Saif, who was waiting to capture the two forts at Muscat from the Portuguese. The letter had its impact.   And with that, 150 years of Portuguese power in the Persian Gulf sputtered to death. The weapon that caused it was a letter written by a wronged Hindu father. -- Read the full thrilling story! 💪📑🛕🪔🕉   https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/a-letter-from-a-wronged-hindu-father-destroys-portuguese-power-in-the-persian-gulf

Meet Narottam: The 17th Century Hindu Merchant who Refused to give his Daughter to a Christian Portuguese Commander   This is the story of the 17th Century Hindu Merchant named Narottam who lived in Muscat and had a business relationship with the Portuguese commandant named Pareira.   Pareira lusted after Narottam’s beautiful, unmarried daughter. He sent word to Narottam through a Pastor: I want to marry your daughter. Narottam's reply to the Pastor is a lesson to all the present-day Hindu parents of “interfaith marriage.”  “The thing which the commandant requires is unbecoming of him and me. He is a Christian, whereas I am of a different religion. He and his co-religionists hold it lawful to drink wine, and to eat ox-flesh and the flesh of other animals. Neither in ancient nor modern times have Christians intermarried with us.”  --- Read the full story and share widely for maximum reach! 💪📑🙏🛕🪔🕉 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/meet-narottam-the-17th-century-hindu-merchant-who-refused-to-give-his-daughter-to-a-christian-portuguese-commander

The Generational Glory of the Sindhi Bhāṭiyās in Muscat and Thatta The second episode of the series tracing the history of Hindu mercantile dominance in the Persian Gulf deals with the role played by the Sindhi Bhāṭiyās who pioneered maritime and inland trade in the region. This community prospered continuously for about three centuries. It outclassed and outlasted the Portuguese, it was untouched by a series of Islamic civil wars and violent disruptions. It bequeathed a glorious legacy of intrepedity, cultural expansion and the art of survival amidst savage odds. -- Read the brilliant piece in full! 📑🛳🕉🛕🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/the-generational-glory-of-the-sindhi-bh%C4%81%E1%B9%ADiy%C4%81s-in-muscat-and-thatta

Muscat, Thatta and Kutch: A Saga of Three Centuries of Hindu Mercantile Glory --- It was not coincidental that Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Motisvar Temple in Muscat in 2018. The visit in a way, was a celebration of a rather thrilling history.   THE EARLIEST KNOWN HINDU SETTLEMENT in Muscat is no later than the 15th century. Archaeological digs have revealed that there was thriving maritime trade between the ancient Sumerian and the Harappan civilisation.    In the 16th century, Portugal directly controlled the whole of northern Oman. Muscat became the headquarters of this Portuguese mercantile imperialism. Its teeming population of talented Hindu businessmen aided Portugal in establishing a monopoly over the lucrative commerce between the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Gulf.  --- Do read the full essay and share it widely! 📑🕉🛕😀🪔⛵   https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/muscat-thatta-and-kutch-a-saga-of-three-centuries-of-hindu-mercantile-glory

De-Hinduizing the History Syllabus: The Secret Directive of Nurul Hasan's Deputy, H.S. Khan   Nurul Hassan was education minister in the Indira Gandhi regime. He claimed to be a Marxist, but pursued an anti-Hindu agenda like a Muslim Fundamentalist.   Through his control of the powerful NCERT and NIEPA, Nurul became the education Czar in India. He gave patronage to the Marxist JNU and the separatist Aligarh Muslim University.   His deputy H.S. Khan thought India became civilized only through the introduction of Islam. These are the people who rewrote and de-Hinduised our history textbooks.   This H.S. Khan was the head of the head of the NCERT's History and Sociology Department for 20 years! In 1986, Khan sent a directive to all states to change Indian history textbooks to suit the anti-Hindu model.   The more we dig the worse and the more copious amounts of evidence emerges. ---   Do share this article widely! 📑🛕🕉🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/commentary/de-hinduizing-the-history-syllabus-the-secret-directive-of-nurul-hasans-deputy-hs-khan

Rama Rajya is an exquisite conception of the beauty of life because it is an attainable goal instead of being a finished product. A continuous quest for it, the effort to attain it, and a single-minded penance upon it is the greatest profit that our soul can obtain. https://thedharmadispatch.substack.com/p/the-true-essence-of-sri-rama-rajya

Surrendering Katchatheevu: The Latest Revelation of the Congress Policy of Pleasing Foreigners   PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI’s revelation of how the Indira Gandhi-led Congress Government in 1974 surrendered the strategic Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka, while new, is unsurprising. It is entirely consistent with the Congress party’s record of harming India’s national interest after independence.   And the roots of this awful record are located in the Congress party’s DNA of always looking to please the foreigner by sacrificing Indians.    The Congress and its leaders suffer from a deep-seated lack of confidence in Indians and Indian heritage. Their own inferiority complex has made them look for solutions abroad.    The Congress party and its followers have no conception of nationalism. They seem to think of the Indian nation as a colonial administration run by Indians rather than Europeans. -- Do read the brilliant piece in full! 📑🛕🕉🪔   https://www.dharmadispatch.in/commentary/surrendering-katchatheevu-the-latest-revelation-of-the-congress-policy-of-pleasing-foreigners

Sangita Kalanidhi goes Woke The overwhelming public opinion in the Carnatic music circles has been against T.M. Krishna ever since he morphed himself into a Far Left activist. The most unfortunate fall out of this is that a sublime musical tradition steeped in sacred antiquity has become the undeserved casualty of a sick fracas scripted and played out by radical actors determined to see its destruction. T.M. Krishna has already gathered quite a following among impressionable youth. They see him as some sort of a Carnatic music equivalent of Che Guevara and Pablo Neruda combined. Add to this toxic mix, a mishmash of “Periyarism,” “social justice” and woke, the ugly picture has a self-fulfilling quality to it. —— My commentary.
