त्वन्मुखनरव्याघ्रेभ्यो प्रतापारिप्रतापक। तिष्ठति भारते धर्मो तुरुष्कास्तत्रसुर्भृशा:।। It is because of men like you oh Pratāpa, the man who burned his enemies, that Dharma still has a foot in Bhāratavarsha. It is such lion-like men that frightened Turks witless. Jai Bhawani ❤️

Remembering brave Rajput warrior Maharana Sangram Singh I on his 539th birth anniversary. Maharana Sangram Singh I is also known as Rana Sanga. He is known for his bravery & courage with which he fought against his enemies. Maharana Sanga was one of the bravest warriors of Mewar.

The historians and people who supported this idea that Rana Sanga invited Babur gave a very feeble logic. Babur was invited by Daulat Khan Lodhi, Ibrahim's uncle. He wanted to take advantage of the weak leadership in the Lodi dynasty and usurp power with the help of Babur’s army.

This rare relief depicts the three principal deities - Brahma, the creator; Siva, the destroyer; and Vishnu, the preserver. Each deity stands on a lotus accompanied by his vehicle: Garuda for Vishnu, bull for Siva, and gander for Brahma. The Hindu Trinity, 10th century, Bihar

One cannot imagine Rajputs without weapons because they have had a long standing martial tradition and weapons are inalienable part of being a Rajput. Rajputs must demand the government to allow them to carry swords and other sharp weapons much like Sikhs do, on similar grounds.

Wedding songs of Bihar dwell mostly on religious themes. Mata Sītā is the central figure in almost all such songs. These songs have descriptions of Sītā's birth, marriage, journey to in-law's home, and youthful relationship with her husband Prince of Ayodhya - Bhagavān Shri Rāma.

The history of holy land of Bihar is very ancient and also one of the most varied in India. Bihar witnessed emergence of first republic. Ancient Bihar remained centre of power, learning & culture in India. Bihar is celebrating its 110th foundation day. Proud Bihari ❤️ #BiharDiwas

‘It is no exaggeration to say that for centuries, the history of Bihar was but the history of India writ large.’ The quote from our first President Rajendra Prasad, reminds us of how different Bihar's story used to be. ~ Source :- 'Bihar Through the Ages' by R.R. Diwakar

We fought against the greatest army of that time to defend the temple. Maasir-I-Alamgiri tells us how 'Rajputs' vowed to give up their lives. Saqi Mustad khan writes "first one came out to fight, killed many and was himself slain, then came another till all the 20 Rajputs fell".

This is not only a song. This song gives goosebumps in every Bihari marriage. Her songs dedicated to Chhath Puja and weddings are especially popular in Bihar. Sharda Sinha's contribution to music has left an indelible mark on India's folk genre.

The deep rooted impact of this tradition of resistance on popular consciousness can be gauged from the folk song in the Bhojpuri belt. 'बाबू हो कुँवर सिंह तेगवा बहादुर, बँगला में उड़ेला अबीर. आ हो लाला बंगला में उड़ेला अबीर. बाबू कुँवर सिंह तेगवा बहादुर, बंगला में उड़ेला अबीर.'

Rajputs still controlled sand mining in Bihar and coal mining in Dhanbad, Jharkhand. Much of the land of Koilwar along river was owned by owners of Kulharia estate, one of the most important Rajput families in the region. Asli paisa yahi Business mei hai, baki ka bhaukal hai bas.

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, 2nd President and 1st Vice President of India expressed his concern that many Muslims consider themselves with descendants of Muhammad and Arabs more than their Hindu ancestry. They regarded themselves as culturally and socially distinct from Hindus.
