Diwan Purnaiah’s Dharma Chhatrams and the Lessons they Teach DIWAN PURNAIAH was a crafty and tenacious survivor who sprouted from the mud of penury. Nothing else explains how this humble bookkeeper at a trader’s shop rose to become the Diwan of three monarchs of Mysore — Hyder Ali, Tipu Sultan and Krishnaraja Wodeyar III. Purnaiah’s chequered career, sprinkled with darker shades of grey, was also marked by his genuine liberality. Till this day, Purnaiah is eponymous in the Old Mysore region with the Kannada collective noun phrase, Purnayyana Chhatra (Purnaiah’s Charitable Homes). This denotes the profusion of charitable homes and rest houses that he built throughout the dominions of the erstwhile Mysore State --- Read the whole interesting piece! 📑🕉🛕🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/diwan-purnaiahs-dharma-chhatrams-and-the-lessons-they-teach

Bhasker Anand Saletore: The Historian Extraordinaire This is the first episode of a series profiling the life and legacy of Bhasker Anand Saletore, the extraordinary scholar of history who lived from 1900-63. ---- Saletore was in Germany when Hitler came to power and he used to tell us how his teacher was the first to be jailed. Saletore laid great stress on the military and material strength to be developed by any country. He used to make passing references that India currently was not strong militarily and for a weak nation, the ideology of democracy may spell danger. Pat came Chinese aggression in 1962 and we could see how prophetic our professor was.

P.V. Kane’s Magnificent Guidance for Serious Scholars of Sanatana Culture and Heritage In the concluding episode of this series, P.V. Kane offers brilliant and encyclopaedic guidance to independent scholars who wish to pursue serious research in the fields of Sanskrit, Indology, Indian culture and heritage. --- In ages past, India was frequently confronted with religious, social and political upheavals. In spite of them all, India has exhibited great vitality in survival, did not give up her agelong quest of truth and always attached the highest importance to the things of the spirit. The present is full of fear and eagerness to destroy the old and construct anew after some patterns quite alien to our traditions and ways of thought and not yet sufficiently tested. --- The whole thing is worth memorising! 🙏🕉🛕🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/pv-kanes-magnificent-guidance-for-serious-scholars-of-sanatana-culture-and-heritage
