Nowadays, if you turn on your television, you’ll hear news related to either of these topics: cows, Hindutva, lynchings and crimes against women. And despite the seriousness of these issues, the discourse around it’s pretty juvenile. Some are creating ids for cows, some are urging women to eat mangoes to give birth to sons and others are simply refuting credible data on violence. However, one BJP politician has topped them all by changing the face of India’s history.
While attending a press conference, Rajasthan BJP President Madan Lal Saini talked about the recent rise in lynchings under suspicion of smuggling cows. However, his speech quickly derailed into a botched history lesson.
“When Humayun was dying, he called Babur and told him, ‘if you want to rule Hindustan, you must keep three things in mind- respect cows, brahmins & women.'”
Now, if you read that and think “what’s wrong here?”, then we do have a problem here.
However, if you think there’s something wrong with Madan Lal’s history, you’re absolutely right. That’s because Humayun was Babur’s son and Babur died 25 years before Humayun. Additionally, since there’s no record of this conversation, Madan Lal’s historical accuracy is zero.
Netizens were taken by surprise but they soon calmed down to give Madan Lal a combo of trolling and history.
1. Abb Ravi Shastri kaha se aa gaya?
When Lal Bahadur Shastri was dying, he called Ravi Shastri and told him " If you want to remain the coach of team India, you would need to do laundry for Kohli" https://t.co/Z1f6JU46SV

6. That’s what is called a ‘sick burn’!
Humayun originally called Alexander but his ISD was deactivated owing to excess love jihad. Then they formed a whatsapp group called destroy Hindus with the Pope as admin. Then they caused a drought that created #Rajesthan out of the Indian Ocean. Stop lynching #IndianHistory https://t.co/UWfYKT1iAe

8. He’s probably going to invoke Donald Trump in a few seconds.
Er, dear Sir, Babur was the father and Humayun the son !
and Humayun died in an accidental fall while descending a staircase, not in bed . https://t.co/bm3gxQmUtG— Mrinal Pande (@MrinalPande1) July 25, 2018
9. They had CCTV back then? That’s so awesome!

11. Why didn’t anybody tell me there’s a secret sequel to ‘Ouija’?
Summoned him using an Ouija board. And instead of asking him questions, gave him advice. Typical Humayun.

12. That’s true because it takes almost 25 years to receive a message.
Must have used BSNL to call him back in time 🤣🤣

15. Vedic phones sounds cool.
And he was only able to do it because Vedic phones had still not been banned by the Mughals. https://t.co/YF7kmQ0o9I

16.That’s some high-level sci-fi happening here.
I can vouch for this. Humayun sent a DM to Babur, which was later hacked and leaked to the wikileaks. #💯original 🤦😂 https://t.co/qf4RtojeQT

19. Is he the kid from ‘Sixth Sense’ all grown up?
Humayun was talking to Babur's ghost and this man was eavesdropping. https://t.co/M5b2g1vqYT

So, what did you think happened back in the 1500s? Did Babur really come back from the dead and talk to Humayun? Did he have access to the Philosopher’s Stone? So many questions, so little time.
