This data from Mythic Society is a great tool to combat the nonsense that is often posted on X, saying Karnataka was all "Jaina faith" and other faiths usurped it due to some "conspiracy".
Since I can post only 4 images in one post, let's look at the data in the 4 images - corresponding to 4th, 6th, 8th & 10th centuries - Pre-Hoysala times.
Here are the cumulative numbers, by what is indicated in the invocatory verses:
4th C - > 3 Shaiva, 1 Vaishnava, 1 Jaina
6th C -> 8 Shaiva , 7 Vaishnava, 2 Jaina
8th C -> 38 Shaiva, 24 Vaishnava, 39 Jaina
10th C -> 160 Shaiva, 57 Vaishnava, 140 Jaina
So where is the "all Jaina" period in the history of Karnataka? Don't get me wrong. Jainas were part of the Karnataka population for a long time, but the area was NEVER EXCLUSIVELY Jaina, as it is made out to be by some handles here.
How does it follow in later centuries? See the reply.
Karnataka's gods and faiths, on its stones, century by century. Nearly 8,000 dated inscriptions from every district of Karnataka, 4th to 19th century, and over 3,000 more not yet dated. Shiva is named most, then Vishnu, the Jinas and the Goddess. Watch them spread across the state in the video, and see the numbers in the flyer. Explore every stone: nakshe.mythicsociety.org

Much appreciated
Taj Agra has banned a guest for life after he allegedly slapped a waiter, Kanti, over a communication issue because he wasn’t fluent in English. Kanti, who comes from a farming family, reportedly stayed silent out of fear of losing his job. Paritosh Ladhani, who manages the hotel, revealed the incident in a LinkedIn post and said the decision was taken after learning that the employee had been assaulted while doing his job.
No amount of money gives anyone the right to abuse another human being. Kudos to Taj Agra for taking a stand, but a hotel ban isn’t enough. The accused should face legal action. Such behaviour must have consequences.

Paper ballot chor , cries .@RahulGandhi
NDA sweeps all FOUR MLC seats that went to polls in Karnataka on October 23! And here is the plot twist: Every single vote was cast on BALLOT PAPER. Looks like the ballot paper forgot to follow the Congress' EVM script!

In the colloquial parlance of North India it is Daama instead of Daana and sequence SDDB
The book explains the colloquial choice over the classical in it’s introduction

Escape the crowds and head to north Bali -
Perched ~3950 feet (1200m) up in the mountains of Bali, Lake Buyan offers cool breezes, misty rainforests, and zero beach traffic. The twin lake view hits different.

Why would Muslim refugees flee into India? According to Al Jazeera Muslims are persecuted in India.
And why does Qatar, the savior of Muslims, not airlift all of them to Qatar and give them refuge rather then expecting kafirs to take care of them?

Why dont you take to your country, @AJEnglish ?
‘Where will we go?’
Rohingya refugees say they are being forced to dismantle their homes in Indian-administered Kashmir, following a court order.
After living there for more than a decade, many now fear being returned to Myanmar, where they face persecution.

Great effort
A week since launching Samskritam.ai, and the Library has grown from three texts to eight: the Kumārasaṃbhava, Ṛtusaṃhāra, Kaṭhopaniṣad, Aṣṭāvakragītā, and the whole Rāmāyaṇa, all 18,715 verses of the critical edition. Every word comes with its grammar, checked against Pāṇini’s rules, and now with its meaning too. English translations of the Rāmāyaṇa are going in one kāṇḍa at a time.
The Verse Reader, where you paste any verse, has new tools:
• It suggests the verse’s rasa, showing the words that build it.
• It shows how the words join, with the sūtras behind each sandhi.
• It sets an AI’s scansion beside the rule-based one, so you can see where the model slips.
• If the verse is already in the Library, it compares the AI’s word split with the scholars’.
Try it at samskritam.ai. Corrections are welcome on every page.
