अलबोय-युद्धम् #३५३

Event occured on 1669-08-15 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Mogol forces under rAma siMha (son of jayasiMha) of Amber defeat Ahom forces under Lachit Borphukan in a forced challenge. 10k Ahom soldiers were killed. This would be reversed a few years later in the Battle of Saraighat, two years later, in 1671 CE.

Background: A few years after shivAjI’s escape, rAmasiMha was sent by Awrangzeb to capture assam. His efforts at psychological warfare and dissent bore fruit when King Chakradhwaja Singha gave Lachit Borphukan and his commanders an ultimatum to attack mogols the very next day. Lachit was bewildered - charging the superior Rajput cavalry would be suicidal and that a naval engagement with the Mughals would be more feasible.

Lachit Borphukan had accepted rAmasiMha’s challenge and prepared a force of 40,000 men under four commanders. However, he led Ram Singh to believe that the Ahom army was only 20,000-strong. So the Rajput king sent only 10,000 soldiers under the command of Mir Nawab and madanavatI. Madanavati’s carnage on horseback only ended after she was shot dead by a stray bullet. Lachit’s hidden reserves then turned the tide. rAmasiMha became angry and then sent in the entire Rajput cavalry along with Mughal veterans who had been standing by.

भारते स्वातन्त्र्य-दिनोत्सवः #७५

Event occured on 1947-08-15 (gregorian).

On this day, British finally quit India after splitting it into two (owing to bloody Muslim League strikes, and it’s own geopolitical interests) inimical parts - resulting in many decades of Anglicized Indian rule (which was nonetheless better than British times), rapid fall in infant mortality and sharp rise in life expectancy.

हेरम्ब-महागणपति महासङ्कटहर-चतुर्थी-व्रतम्

Special vrata day for Ganesha. In this month, Ganesha is worshipped as hēramba-mahāgaṇapatiḥ. Fast during the day and pray to Ganesha after moonrise, as follows:

गणाधिपस्त्वं देवेश चतुर्थ्यां पूजितो मया।
कष्टान्मां मोचयेशान सर्वमिष्टं च देहि मे॥

यदा सङ्क्लेशितो मर्त्यो नानादुःखैश्च दारुणैः।
तदा कृष्णे चतुर्थ्यां वै पूजनीयो गणाधिपः॥ (भविष्यपुराणम्)

श्रावणकृष्णचतुर्थ्यां प्रारभ्य कृष्णचतुर्थीषु यावज्जीवमेकविंशतिवर्षाणि एकवर्षं वा सङ्कटचतुर्थीव्रतं कार्यम्॥
अशक्तौ प्रतिवर्षं श्रावणचतुर्थ्यामेव कार्यम्॥
