Ye waala jaali bhi kya, di?
NO! The Mughals did NOT give us jaalis! These exquisite, unique jaalis featuring female musicians and dancers in different poses are from the 11th century Chandramoulishwara temple in Hubballi. Carved out of a single stone slab, these jaalis showcase the skill of the sculptors from the Western Chalukya kingdoms. Such jaalis or जालवातायन as they are known in Sanskrit, not only enhanced the temple’s aesthetic appeal but they also serves functional purposes, such as regulating light and air flow inside the temple. The chiaroscuro effect these jaalis give in the sabhamandapa is stunning. The concept of जालवातायन, latticed decorative windows carved out of stone predate the arrival of Islam in Bharat. Ancient Indian temple architecture texts mention them. Early examples of latticed windows can be found in structures like the 8th-century Kailasa temple in Ellora and the Pattadakal temple complex in Karnataka. These early jaalis were primarily geometric, carved directly into stone. Later on, sculptors started carving mythical animals like the Vyala and the Makara into these jaalis, and even human figures as demonstrated in these pictures. All the Mughals did was to steal this design, turn it into creeper based or geometric designs and use them into their mausoleums like the Taj Mahal, another case of classic cultural appropriation! Check these jaalis out, and compare them with the jaalis in Islamic monuments, and you will realise the difference! #HinduTemple #TempleArchitecture #IncredibleIndia #DekhoApnaDes #Chalukya #TreasuresOfKarnataka

Whoa. I never knew thus.
Volkswagen (VW) has a history of violating regulations across various countries to boost its profits. In the United States, VW was fined a total of $4.3 billion for its emissions scandal, which included a criminal penalty of $2.8 billion and a civil penalty of $1.45 billion. Moreover, there's an accusation that during the UPA government's tenure in India, someone in the administration benefited financially by allowing the import of car parts at a reduced customs duty under the guise of 'part by part import'. This practice allegedly contravened import regulations, where parts imported under a license specific to one model, like 'KDC', were used to assemble an entire car, which should not have been permissible under those terms "Volkswagen India had kept the Indian government informed of its "part-by-part import" model and received clarifications in its support in 2011"

But the criticism on the taxation has been unleashed by the constitution gress party, making the supporters aware of their own turmoil with a sharper focus.
He thinks the govt saw his five-day-old video, went into panic mode, called an emergency meeting, and decided to bring tax relief for the middle class. Lol! Governments bow down when they feel discontent among their supporters, not to the outrage of their adversaries.
