Anagpur, the (Hindu) Tomar Indian Dynasty capital: around 1,300 years ago, in modern-day Faridabad right at the Delhi-Faridabad border near South-East Delhi. 3. Lal Kot, the (Hindu) Tomar Indian Dynasty capital: around 1,000 years ago, in modern-day South Delhi's Mehrauli and Vasant Kunj. 4. Rai Pithora, the (Hindu) Chauhan Indian Dynasty capital: around 900 years ago, in modern-day South Delhi's Mehrauli. 5.

Why should Delhi, founded by illustrious Rajput dynasties like the Tomars and Chauhans, succumb to a substantial Punjabi influx? They are gradually outnumbering us and diluting our rich cultural heritage with a dominant Punjabi influence, instead of cherishing our Rajput legacy. They are unlikely to embrace and appreciate our customs, just as they cannot appreciate profound historical roots.

I am an Atheist. I do not believe in the existence of God. There is no evidence to support the belief in any gods or supernatural entities. I rely on science, reason, logic, and empirical evidence to form my worldview and have not found compelling evidence or arguments to support the existence of God. The universe is governed by natural laws and forces, rather than moral, spiritual, or supernatural ones. As an atheist, I reject religious dogma, supernaturalism, and superstition as the basis of morality and decision-making. I emphasize the social and empirical nature of inquiry and prioritize scientific solutions to intellectual problems. There is an intrinsic intellectual conflict between faith and science, and that it inevitably leads to hostility. I am engaged in a continually evolving search for truth, primarily through science and philosophy.

Nehru didn't unfurl the National Flag from Red Fort on 15th, 1947. The 15th August celebration, including his "Tryst with Destiny" speech, happened in the old parliament building. But they had to do something in front of the public, so the PM unfurled national flag from Red Fort on 16th August, 1947.
