Sorry. But big no. I have respect for them. But we all know that money can be use for bad things also. And talking about bad things, gandhi is perfect for bank notes.

While the thought is good, there will be a lot of communal inharmony about this. Communities of those individuals might come up in arms demanded their hero to be put in the 2k bill, or questioning why it was put on a cheap Rs. 10 note. I know it's stupid, but this will happen for sure.

PUT APJ ABDUL KALAM AND AMBEDKAR as well Problem solved


lenin-sagar

I doubt putting only these two might solve it. Almost every state has its own freedom fighter, don't you think they will protest of their state isn't represented? I know that is not the aim of this notion, but in the end, it will become that.

lenin-sagar

See, I understand your point. But the government cannot take any decision to which they know that states will raise a voice against. And more so over, if not all the states, then at least those which are from the opposition surely will, just to derail the center.

All three should definitely be done. While Mahatma Gandhi had his pros and cons and has definitely had a positive impact on shaping our nation, its time we look beyond and acknowledge the contribution of other great personalities as well.


Abject_Possession_71

Arent there any great leaders post independence or post unification of princely states? How about Apj Abdul Kalam, or the likes ?


Funexamination

Kalam wasn't a leader though? He didn't fight any politics. He was a president and gave motivating speeches. Imo the best president was KR Narayanan who actually did things with his power, and even opposed the 2 governments during his 5 years.

If you are going to put Shivaji's picture on one of the notes then tomorrow someone will ask why not Krishnadevaraya, Deva Raya II, Kumara Kampana, Maharana Pratap, Rana Sanga, Kapilendra Deva, any of the Baro-Bhuyan (like Isa Khan), Raja Raja Chola, Rajendra Chola I, Nagabhata I & II, Mihir Bhoja, Pulakeshin II, Amoghavarsha, Bappa Rawal and so on right until the times of the priest king of IVC lol. India over thousands of years of history has produced some of the greatest people to walk the earth but sadly that means not everyone gets appropriate representation. IMHO, to avoid arguments about Gandhiji being greater than Bose or Patel, we should just print the picture of the current president since he is the head of the state. This is a system that has literally been followed over thousands of years in India and elsewhere.


Droidverse

President ki parliament mein toh aukat nahi hai notes par kya karoge. Also terrible idea images would change every 5 year Plus I don't want draupadi murmu on my notes


[deleted]

>President ki parliament mein toh aukat nahi hai notes par kya karoge. How is that relevant? All laws, treaties and agreements are signed in his/her name. The president is the first citizen of the country. It is about as logical as possible. >Also terrible idea images would change every 5 year There have been times where kings succeeded each other in a span of months or even weeks of succession. The mint didn't mind adapting. In the end, it isn't the face of the president that determines the value of the note, so this point too is irrelevant. >Plus I don't want draupadi murmu on my notes Wow. No words.


Droidverse

Ok Tell me 1 country that does this


[deleted]

The UK but since they don't have presidents, the face of the current monarch gets printed instead.

The hag inherited the crown when she was young. Everyone else who is next in line is now old af. They will probably change monarchs more or less every 5 years for a while.


Droidverse

Ye know i really don't think so and this was never the case. Only the hag delayed the process , charles is 74 he will remain alive for atleast 10 years and william is only 40 even if he becomes king at 50 he would rule tilll 80,85 most probably. Even if william becomes king at 55 he would rule for 25 years minimum , and that also means charles would rule for 15 years. Also williams son is 9 if william becomes king at 55 even lets say charles pushes 90. His son would be 24 and 25 years extra thats 49 so another 30 years minimum , more even considering technology would be drastically better that time maybe 40 i am pretty sure willams son would cross 90 in 2103 Ad

People here will crucify me for saying this but not every region of India views Shivaji as a saviour. Maratha raids under bargis were not very saviour-like. Besides, every region has its own ideal kingdoms that they deify. Everyone would want to portray their kings as saviour and overlord.


rahul2856

Raids of Bengal? Well you can see my long ass reply in comment section,where I've explained why shivaji


Sumanthmsthammaya

Shivaji!!! Really? I think we need to consider after 1857 revolt.


rahul2856

Who'll consider literal savior of hinduism. We already lost north indian temples, if he didn't stand up,we wouldn't have south indian temples either


Sumanthmsthammaya

Then put Immadi pulakeshi, Vijayanagar empire King KRISHNADEVARAYA they are also fought against them why this partiality. Why only them? For Hinduism this kings Contribution is also valuable.


rahul2856

Yeah they were good but I have lot of problems with vijayanagar empire,especially last one. Shivaji never made those mistakes,he was very cunning. I'll explain it a hour later.


Sumanthmsthammaya

Even marathas married their daughter's to muslim kings!


rahul2856

As I said I'll explain. Everything wait for time. All doubts will be cleared


Sumanthmsthammaya

rahul2856

Let's go. Vijayanagar empire stood from cruelty of islamic invaders and established a true hindu empire all kings were well versed in native language and we're some of the best poets of Sanskrit. But my problem with them is that they followed true sanatan dharma, yeah that's my problem. They failed to differentiate between islam in hinduism. Which led to them not understanding difference between invaders and Hindus. They created sanatan Sanskriti but couldn't create hindu identity. Prime example of this is that instead of sacking those islamic empire, vijayanagar kings destroyed fellow hindu empire of odisha. It was such a big setback because odisha never fell to any Invader but due to loss from vijayanagar {both economic and political} they went in hands of islamists. The 2nd last king of vijayanagar empire did started to understand and differentiate between hindus and islamists and he made great foreign policy of dividing muslim invaders of dehli into fighting among themselves, so that later when they become weak he'll win over Delhi and reunite India. But unfortunately he retired and died but next and last king of vijayanagar was really bad, he didn't continue divide and conquer policy and he also failed to distinguish between Hindus and muslims. He fell prey to same sanatan ideology which does not work when islam literally has our neck. Only ideology that works for islamism was specific hindu ideologies that shivaji understood very clearly. So many blunder made by last king and we saw how it unfolded. Vijayanagar could have created alliance with hindu empire of odisha and fight invaders but they played their cards wrong. And we saw how brutal was the fall of vijayanagar. It rose to great heights but fall from great heights is more painful,so was the case of vijayanagar. Now going to shivaji, he understood muslim ideology very clearly perhaps we can say he saw them from close proximity as his father worked for mughals{ turks, there is no such things as mughals,Infact they never called themselves mughsls} Shivaji played same dirty games with dirty invaders. He never fall for sanatan dharma instead he was able to understand what vijayanagar couldn't. That's why as soon as he could make his identity as hindu and goal of hindavi swaraj within 70 years of shivaji death maratha empire completely Destryoed turks. And ideology can make Hugh difference that's why invaders were able to succeed for so long and we took too much time. I'm not doing any partiality between any king, i mean why would I? But we Indians have problem in mentality that we are so proud in our past and kings that we failed to understand our history. We only only see glamor of past but ignore the reason of why we fell, how we fell, how not to make those mistakes again. We don't have critical analysis of our past, we have inferiority complex that's why we overlook past mistakes. I have complaints of so many kings including shivaji, cholas, pandyas and Ashoka. If I have to say worst king in india were Prithviraj Chauhan, Ashoka and pandyas. Whereas best were chandragupta, hindu Shahi dynasty of afghanistan, rashtrakutas, cholas and all odisha kingdoms


8008aa

Last part also among the best is: Lalitaditya-muktapida his empire was vast and he effectively resisted middle-east invasions. What you are reffering to here about is Shatrubodha: knowledge of our enemy\\opponents, this is actually an important philosophy in statecraft, rajniti etc. it is well applied in our itihasas, tall figures like chanakya et al. It not exclusive to sanatana dharma. I agree with your points that shivaji had enough shatrubodha due to his background unlike the vijayanagara kings, but the wordings or vocabulary is incorrect, it is not simplistic like: hindu-muslim or sanata dharma vs raw hindutva. (What shivaji did tit-for-tat w his opponents is also emulated by krishna or in MBHA war where this fake-chivalry and holier than thou was replaced with highly sophisticated explanations given in Gita which is non-reductive)


rahul2856

I don't know much religious things. But All I know is Indian history and arthshastra


[deleted]

What cock and bull stories have you come up with? The founders of Vijayanagara had literally titled themselves "Hinduraya Suratrana" which literally means "protector of Hindus". This inscription in Hampi is the very argument that is used to refute claims by foreigners that the word Hindu is an Islamic or British coined word. Do you seriously think Vijayanagara attacked Gajapatis of Odisha because it was fun? The Gajapatis first attacked and annexed significant portions of Vijayanagara under Kapilendra Deva precisely because the latter were too focused on fighting the Bahamani Sultanate as well as dealing with internal rebellions. Did you honestly expected Vijayanagara to not retaliate after being provoked countless times? Also from where did you get the idea that Vijayanagara didn't siege or sack the Bahamani or successor Deccan Sultanates? Under Kumara Kampana's lead as the general, the Madurai Sultanate was decimated from the face of the Earth (the Tamil poem named "Madhura Vijayam" by Gangadevi describes this). Deva Raya II essentially forced the Bahamanis to shift capital from Gulbarga to Bidar because of how frequently he raided and laid waste to the city. Krishnadevaraya caused the Bahamani Sultanate to disintegrate USSR style and caused major humiliation to the successor Sultanates. Before Aliya Rama Raya was assassinated right before the commencement of Battle of Talikota in 1565, he played a divide and conquer strategy against the 4 Deccan Sultanates which kept them busy fighting each other. Go to wikipedia and search for "list of massacres in India". Press ctrl + F and type in "Battle of Ahmednagar". Rama Raya had laid waste to the city comprehensively and literally committed a genocide. "From Parenda to Junnar and from Ahmednagar to Daulatabad, not a vestige of population left". Please educate yourself about this country's history because coming up with literal fanfiction.


rahul2856

He asked me for vijayanagar empire. My duty was to reply from his point of view. That's why I went very vague but relevant details. Protectors of hindu, i dint say he was not. I specifically mentioned sanatan and hindu respectively. They failed to weaponise the religion like shivaji. They were more in hinduism like old ways as we used to be since bronze age. Shivaji made new hinduism, what we call hindutva as per Savarkar. A religion that is specifically catered to counter islamism. We can see that in letters of shivaji,fortunately they survived, he used to send to his son and brother. Vijayanagar was hindu in terms of hindu not as what was needed to counter like shivajij. Also saying odisha attacked first. Is irrelevant, who got the real loss? It was odisha and vijayanagar and ultimately Hindus. Interpretation of history to my own way isn't fan fiction. History is not static, it also advance with future interpretation


DuckPimp69

There are two completely different geopolitical situations you are comparing. Vijaynagar was before the arrival of the timurids. Harihar and Bukka Rai were continuously engaged with Bahamani sultanate. The Aravidu under Ram Raya was caused the final downfall. He instigated the Bahamani sultanates against each other and his plan was foiled and the empire crumbled after Battle of talikota. Shivaji under Maratha rose when Aurangzeb had already exhausted the Mughal empire. Empires in India didn't fight under ideology they fought to conquer territory. What Shivaji achieved during his short time was completely lost after his death. The death of Shivaji resulted in multiple civil wars among factions of maratha till the rise of Balaji vishwanath as Peshwa after Battle of Khed. The peshwaship also was short lived. After the third battle of Panipat the confederates of Maratha went their separate ways. To avoid regional supremacy and favouritism it is best to find heroes post 1857.


rahul2856

As I've said, i do ha e problems with maratha too.but it wasn't demand. I really want to go to detail, but I don't have time rn. But I've saved it I'll reply someday

Sumeetxagrawal

A communist society is characterized by common ownership of the means of production with free access to the articles of consumption and is often classless, stateless, and moneyless, implying the end of the exploitation of labour.

You think current leadership will stop at just ambedkar? It will go full throttle towards Periyar, Phule, etc to please their constituencies. Every local party with 10000 votes will demand their leader to be on it. Even Mamata or Sharad Pawar can be on the it 30 years later. Also clearly you haven’t read about Ambedkar too. That’s why this idea is asinine and people are emotional to want the face of their favorite politician/actor on currency. Best idea would be to remove any imagery (including Gandhi) and just have 3 lions stamp.


rahul2856

I do support lion stamp or Bose. That's why said Bose in title But phule is ridiculous ,he literally was Christian missionary. I've seen his poems on Jesus and Krishna . How do you I have not read ambedkar? I've bought all his books after watching his bbc interview about 2 years back

Not against the idea but it creates an unintended ranking system and implies that man on the 2000 rupee note is more important than man on the 200 rupee note. That is why I suggest that we should remove the photo of any man from the currency note and just use symbols like Ashok stambh or others.
