Suicide is not an option. This is a recent case and a lot many that don't get reported. I have helped 3 people personally. I'm not a lawyer, and a lot of lawyers view men as cash cows in divorce cases. Each case is unique. I will explain comments on how to fight back rather than suffering biased laws.
Over the next few years, the Odisha government is set to publish revenue records from the era of our Gajapati rulers, and the data completely flips the script on how we view our ancestors' economy. Sooner I will post more actual data from the old revenue records of medieval eras, but here's a quick overview one should know.
Kalinga was primarily an export-driven economy rather than an agrarian one. Historical records from the reign of Gajapati Kapilendra Deva show that only 10% to 30% of the economy relied on agriculture! Maritime trade was thriving through a network of major ports along the coast, including Palur (Ganjam), Kalingapatnam (on the Odisha-Andhra border), Konark, Gopalpur, Puri, and Manikapatna near Chilika.
Operating under the umbrella term Boita, these ancient vessels were among the biggest ships of their time. They featured multi-story rooms built over a massive base of cargo containers. True to the artistic heritage of the region, these ships were intricately designed with animal-shaped prows and sterns—most notably featuring majestic duck or lion heads.
Back then, merchant navies and defense navies weren't separate entities. The massive Boitas were specifically owned by Mangaraj Khandayats. Business guilds and merchant groups would lease these ships for long-distance voyages.
Every year, right after Karthika Purnima, these fleets would set sail for Southeast Asia to export a vast array of local goods, including fine jewelry, metal-based items ranging from everyday cutlery to high-grade swords, 64 distinct types of fabrics, and precious spices and various other things like scented soaps, herbs, dhoops etc.
Who fought: King Narasingha Deva I (Kalinga) vs. Tughril Tughan Khan (Bengal Governor, Delhi Sultanate).
When: 1244–1245 CE.
Why it happened: Retaliation and expansion following Kalinga's victory at the Battle of Katasin.
The outcome: The Kalinga's Khandayat forces besieged Lakhnauti, causing panic and forcing Bengal to call Delhi for reinforcements.
The aftermath: The siege broke when Delhi's relief army arrived, but internal rivalry led to Tughan Khan losing control of Bengal.
I posted yesterday's video and by this morning the level has increased significantly.
This sound is from a data center in America
It can be heard for upto 5-8 km (as far as AI itself tells me)
Indian govt is showing increasing interest in building these in India, do you think we should have them. Reminder they also require lots of electricity, water etc
More specifically at first gear, When I try to take turns The bike tends to overbend and I had to immediately stretch out my leg to the ground and stop it. Makes me feel like I'm a new rider. I had rod for past 10 yrs and started with ronin 4 days ago. Is it normal or I'm yet to gain reflex for ronin specifically.
I upgraded from Hero Glamour that I rode for last 5 yrs, hitting 1lac plus KMs. I was looking for something like Ronin only, that to me it gives a hint of both retro scrambler and cruiser. Already 45kms this morning, initially I struggled a bit for taking turns but it went all smooth later.
