How government guide misguided people about ASI-controlled historical site Modhera

I visited Modhera, a historical site of abandoned sun temple, built in the 11th century, the other day with family friends who had come from New Jersey. Situated about 100 from Ahmedabad, I got interested in how the expert guide had sought to identify its destruction.
The guide insisted (he claimed to have been certified by the government), the temple was destroyed first by Mahmud of Ghazni and then by Alauddin Khilji, though there seemed to be little expert confirmation -- quite unlike the Somnath temple, about which a Gujarat government site points how it was destroyed 17 times over, including by Mahmud of Ghazni in the 1299 century and then by Aurangzeb in 1706.
Though it is essentially an abandoned sun temple, protected by the Archeological Survey of India, the guide talked of how it represented different gods and goddesses, including Radha and Krishna, and Ram and Sita. No expert references to the site talks of this. 
Later, we went to the museum, an elderly person was seemed quite worked up after listening to the guide. He approached me, stating, "See, Alauddin Khilji destroyed this site. But for the Mughals, who destroyed it, this would have been a live temple."
I asked him whether Alauddin Khilji was a Mughal, and he nodded. Then I told him the year when Alauddin Khilji, a Delhi Sultanate ruler of the 14th century, ruled. I asked tell me find when the Mughals came to India. And he had no India!

Anti-Rupala Rajputs 'have no support' of numerically strong Kshatriya communities

Personally, I have no love lost for Purshottam Rupala, though I have known him ever since I was posted as the Times of India representative in Gandhinagar in 1997, from where I was supposed to do political reporting. In news after he made the statement that 'maharajas' succumbed to foreign rulers, including the British, and even married off their daughters them, there have been large Rajput rallies against him for “insulting” the community.

Instilling sense of insecurity among 'fearful' millions, Modi to win comfortably

  This was one of the most interesting reports I read on the Lok Sabha elections. Titled, "If Sangam Pilgrims Are Bellwether, They Indicate Clear Majority for Modi",  published  in what is considered to be an anti-Narendra Modi site, "The Wire", it reports on interaction with boatmen and pilgrims from across India, even as pointing towards why Modi would get a "clear majority."

India 'not keen' on legally binding global treaty to reduce plastic production

  Even as offering lip-service to the United Nations Environment Agency (UNEA) for the need to curb plastic production, the Government of India appears reluctant in reducing the production of plastic. A senior participant at the UNEP’s  fourth session  of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-4), which took place in Ottawa in April last week, told a plastics pollution seminar that India, along with China and Russia, did not want any legally binding agreement for curbing plastic pollution.

Urban Naxal to Amit Shah, AAP Bharuch candidate tops ADR's Gujarat criminal cases list

  Refusing to go beyond the data released by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on the Lok Sabha candidates’ own declarations of their criminal record, educational qualification and assets, the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR), a top-notch advocacy group, has declared Aam Aadmi Party candidate Chaitar Vasava, 35, having the highest number of criminal cases of all those fighting the electoral battle on 26 seats in Gujarat.

An outright misinformation in DNA: Non-veg food is banned in Ahmedabad

I was a little surprised to read a picture story in DNA news website, which includes Ahmedabad as the first city among seven where non-vegetarian consumption is banned.  I don't know about the other cities in the list -- Pushkar, Palitana, Tirupati, Veshno Devi, Shirdi, Haridwar -- in the story, which claims that the information is not an opinion but has been obtained from media reports.  However, as for Ahmedabad, non-veg food is not only easily available but is fast becoming increasingly common for those seeking to eat outside home. Not only this, you can easily order it online -- I have myself done it several times.  Of course, there are Jain-dominated housing societies where non-veg food is "not allowed". But I am told even some Jains go out and reach up to non-veg eateries in western Ahmedabad to have "tasty food."  The DNA story is as false as the common saying that Gujarat is a vegetarian state. Officially, 42% people are non-veg in Gujarat, but a caste
