Lol never realized china borders with india three fuckjng times until now

Not an accident! British Raj was very valuable to the British not only for the labour & resources of the Raj itself, but also its proximity to China. Most Sino-Indian border conflicts today are based off this.

#the jammu/kashmir conflict is also heavily influenced by powerplays of the british raj #even beyond the 'splitting the region in the first place' thing #jammu kashmir & aksai chin are basically the same territorial conflict in a lot of ways #both go back to gulab singh & his principality devolving into a sikh puppet state to the raj after defeat

Sanatan Shastar Vidya is an ancient Indian martial art that dates back thousands of years, but was eventually banned by the British Raj who feared the skilled warriors.

This whole @virginnotsaint-deactivated20220 and @faaeish-deactivated20220718 situation is so confusing to me because these were two ppl I followed and interacted with and they seemed genuine to me (but idk I can be naive at times). So I just didn't expect them to just act like they are open to conversate and then just deactivate after they get backlash.

Sorry if this is vague but I can't bother with linking everything for anyone that doesn't know what's going on 😅

#i tend to try and give ppl the benefit of the doubt so i just always end up like this #like idk im still making up excuses in my head but yeah #raj definitely deserves better Ive never seen a townie get changed so much and its because he's sikh #i think im just horrible at judging ppl's character #kai.txt #nonsims

"ANOTHER SCORE OF HINDUS IN," The Province (Vancouver). November 27, 1913. Page 1. ---- Party Reached Victoria Today and Are Held for Examination ---- Chicago Maru Had Tempestuous Trip Across the Pacific. ---- Victoria, Nov. 27. - After having just completed the examination of a contingent of fifty-six Hindus and unravelling a great immigration problem, the officials at the Victoria detention buildings are now face to face with another similar task.

When the liner Chicago Maru berthed from the Orient this morning it was learned that there were twenty natives of the Indian empire booked to this port and after a brief examination they were permitted to disembark and escorted to the detention buildings, where exhaustive examinations will be made as to their health and certificates.

Some of the Chicago Maru's contingent are returning Hindus who have been back home on a visit but quite a number are newcomers. The twenty Hindus joined the vessel at Hongkong. Of course they did not come direct from their native land and therefore the old immigration trouble will once again be argued, but following the judgment of a few days ago, it is possible that all the newcomers will be permitted to gain admission to Canada.

Another tempestuous passage across the Pacific was reported by the Chicago Maru, which was conquered in the race from Yokohama to this coast by the liner Awa Maru. She brought a light cargo and discharged 300 tons of general merchandise at this port. Her silk shipment was valued at $500,000. She proceeded to the Sound at 1 p. m. today.

[...] I do not know of any fictional narrative in Urdu, in roughly the last two hundred years, which is of any significance and any length (I am making an exception for a few short stories here) in which the issue of colonialism or the difficulty of a civilizational encounter between the English and the Indian has the same primacy as, for example, in Forster’s A Passage to India or Paul Scott’s The Raj Quartet. The typical Urdu writer has had a peculiar vision, in which he or she has never been able to construct fixed boundaries between the criminalities of the colonialist and the brutalities of all those indigenous people who have had power in our own society. We have had our own hysterias here and there – far too many, in fact – but there has never been a sustained, powerful myth of a primal innocence, when it comes to the colonial encounter. The ‘nation’ indeed became the primary ideological problematic in Urdu literature only at the moment of Independence, for our Independence too was peculiar: it came together with the Partition of our country, the biggest and possibly the most miserable migration in human history, the worst bloodbath in the memory of the subcontinent: the gigantic fratricide conducted by Hindu, Muslim and Sikh communalists. Our ‘nationalism’ at this juncture was a nationalism of mourning, a form of valediction, for what we witnessed was not just the British policy of divide and rule, which surely was there, but our own willingness to break up our civilizational unity, to kill our neighbours, to forgo that civic ethos, that moral bond with each other, without which human community is impossible. A critique of others (anti-colonial nationalism) receded even further into the background, entirely overtaken now by an even harsher critique of ourselves. The major fictions of the 1950s and 1960s–the shorter fictions of Manto, Bedi, Intezar Hussein; the novels of Qurrat ul Ain, Khadija Mastoor, Abdullah Hussein – came out of that refusal to forgive what we ourselves had done and were still doing, in one way or another, to our own polity. No quarter was given to the colonialist; but there was none for ourselves either. One could speak, in a general sort of way, of ‘the nation’ in this context, but not of ‘nationalism’.

Hari Singh Nalwa Birthday 1st May

 Hari Singh Nalwa was a prominent Sikh general and commander during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh of the Sikh Empire. He was born on 1st May 1791 in Gujranwala, Punjab (now in Pakistan) and was the son of Gurdas Singh Uppal.

Hari Singh Nalwa served as the governor of Peshawar and was known for his bravery and leadership qualities. He was instrumental in expanding the Sikh Empire's territory and played a key role in many battles, including the Battle of Multan, Battle of Jamrud, and the Battle of Nowshera.

He also built many forts, including the famous Jamrud Fort, to protect the empire's territories in northern areas. He was considered a fierce warrior and was known to fight in the frontline alongside his soldiers.

Hari Singh Nalwa died in the Battle of Jamrud in 1837, fighting against the Pashtun tribes. His death was a huge loss for the Sikh Empire, and he is still remembered as a legendary figure in the Sikh community. His legacy lives on through the many forts and structures he built and the sacrifices he made for his people.

justice for raj rasoya - a quick rant about townie makeovers

so i was casually scrolling on my dash and i saw someone playing with the city living townies. i was appalled when i realized that one of these sims was intended to be raj rasoya, a sikh chef living in the spice market of san myshuno. the sim in the post looked drastically different to raj, he was barely recognizable until i checked the tags. i then began looking at his tag on tumblr, and it’s lowkey making me sick to my stomach.

i don’t know why i’m uncomfortable with this, or it it’s just me but it’s so unsettling to see people either white wash, slim down, or remove raj’s turban when they make him over. i don’t understand the need that people have to change raj into something completely unrecognizable because he doesn’t fit western beauty standards. why must we make him have a chiseled bod and lightly tanned skin? why do we feel the need to make his nose smaller and remove his nose bridge? why do we feel the need to remove his turban?

the turban and even the kara (bracelet raj and geeta wear) are both symbols of their faith. it begs me to ask the question, would the perpetrators that have white washed raj do the same to an EA townie that’s hijabi? probably not - at least, i would hope not. 

this is weird and lowkey not okay. it’s quite clear that EA intended for the rasoyas to be sikh. why are we trying to erase their ethnic features and backgrounds?

now before you guys come at me, i’m going to say that - it’s your game i’m not policing you - however, i am pointing out how weird and disrespectful it comes across to actively erase the features and religious qualities of townies that were specifically given these identities. 

thank you for coming to my ted talk. please let me know if this is just a me issue, i’m genuinely curious to see how other people feel about this. my inbox is open, and i’d be happy to chat. it says my comments are enabled, but people have had trouble with commenting on my posts before, so just shoot me an ask instead!

#ts4 #simblr #ts4 discussion #sims discussion #raj rasoya #i'm hoping i'm not coming off as a karen or anything it's just something i've noticed and wanted to share #i'm willing to take criticism and i'm open to other points of view tbh this is just my initial thoughts on the matter #nat.txt

like y’all… it’s embarrassing bc sims but because i knew raj wore a dāstār i was able to compliment a sikh man in my store on the color of his and he and his wife absolutely lit up when i knew the distinction. it is important and it has real world meaning.

The Jammu Genocide

The Jammu Genocide refers to the period in Autumn 1947 where an estimate of over 200-250 thousand Muslims in the Jammu region by paramilitaries such as RSS Hari Singh ( the man in the picture) .

Around April 1947, RSS + other extremist paramilitaries began plans for Muslim genocide.

Following this, the Maharaja visited Jammu province but there would be no Muslim officers in the touring. Days later, he visits Rawalakot, but he would visit Hindus in the area not Muslims.

Upon return, he created new units, made of of Dogra's and Gurkha's and banned meetings of 5+ people.

He would also demand Muslims surrender their weapons...WHILE those weapons were redistributed to non-Muslims. Hari Singh viewed it as necessary for the Dogra's planned genocide.

Worth noting 60,000 from his state fought in WW2 (from the Sudhan tribe, for the British army.) and got kindly 'repaid' by disarmament and rejection from the Maharaja's army.

In August the British Raj would be partitioned on the basis of religious demographic, by this time Dogra's and Mahajan's would be desperate to exterminate Muslims and make the territory Hindu.

Many Hindu and Sikh refugees would temporarily reside in Jammu and would give highly exaggerated accounts of suffering, serving as propaganda to get a good amount of the population on board, including the refugees who had arrived recently at Jammu. These two events together would lead to a plan to exterminate Jammu's Muslim population.

October 1947, the genocide planned out for months would begin in Bhimber tehsil, with attacks beginning with the slogan "Jai Maharaj." A common tactic was the arson of houses, this happened in 4 villages. In Kotli tehsil similar events would unfold in villages. Many would die

1 day later, a massacre would take place at Akhnoor bridge. 15k Muslims from Akhnoor and nearby would be forced to leave for Pakistan through the bridge, but Dogra soldiers opened fire killing masses of them.

Many claiming the killing was so bad blood was flowing on the bridge.

On the same day, a massacre would take place in Kathua district, with a considerable death toll of over 8000. It is claimed that women and children were not spared from these massacres and were killed to.

Only 100 of these 8000 would actually survive the massacre.

Another massacre would take place in Sambha, with Hindu & Sikh soldiers sieging it, containing 14k Muslims. Soldiers would cut rations and water.

The Maharaja would visit & after women were taken by state soldiers & men were slaughtered.

15 would survive, fleeing to Sialkot.

It's not over. Another massacre happened at Miran Sahib, where about 25k Muslims were SUPPOSED to be evacuated to Pakistan. As it was happening Dogra troops took away belongings and the women. Men were made to line up and be shot by machine guns.

100 survived, hiding in fields.

During November, the Maharaja demanded all Muslims leave the state, lying that Pakistan had asked for them.

They assembled at the parade ground thinking they would be sent to Suchetgarh but the convoy went to Kathua road and they were also massacred. 8000 were killed over 4 days.

As mentioned earlier, aside from the massacres, the abduction of women also took place.

These especially happened in Jammu, Kathua, Reasi and Udhampur. The number of abductions is estimated at 25k

This would all lead to mass migration of Jammu Muslims to Sialkot, Pakistan due to its closeness and a pre-established road and railway connection.

Some also went due to previous financial and familial ties to the city.

It is worth noting throughout this that the goal of the genocide was for Dogra's + RSS to take advantage of the partition's religious majority criteria (making it Hindu majority) to get accession to go one way.

This demographic idea is still used now through settler colonialism.

This website covers the genocide in more depth.

A memorial page is also under construction.
