The festival Eid became an opportunity for the Liberals and pseudo Secularist to manipulate Hindu history in order to peddle a wholly distorted narrative . Secularist like Yogendra Yadav and Shashi Tharoor posted an original old Rajasthani painting of Lord Krishna and others with false information in order to peddle a narrative. The secularists claimed that the painting is depicting Lord Krishna pointing towards the Moon on the occasion of Eid. Factually, the caption is misleading and false. Supposedly, educated people like Yogendra Yadav and Shashi Tharoor reminds one of Thomas Sowell’s quote. According to Sowell, “Too much of what is called ‘education’ is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.” He further states, “Emotions neither prove nor disprove facts. There was a time when any rational adult understood this. But years of dumbed-down education and emphasis on how people ‘feel’ have left too many people unable to see through this media gimmick.” 

Their lies didn’t last long. Learned authorities on Indian art completely rubbished their bogus claims. The main reason why these secularists thought, by breaking all the known rules of common sense, that Krishna is sighting an Eid moon is that person standing next to him had a beard and therefore was thought to be a Muslim. One must admit liberals are very poor at reasoning and logical thinking. They hardly allow facts to contaminate their beautiful fictional vision. It is believed that artist had depicted Krishna and his elder brother Balram along with Nanda Maharaj, the bearded Man. Krishna and Balram are pointing towards the sky (probably towards the Govardhan Parvat) and not the Eid moon.

Most likely, the painting is the depiction of an obscure passage from Bhagavata Purana. Art authorities, as well as reputed twitter handle on Indian history, True Indology, also exposed the falsehood spread by the secularist step by step with clear scriptural evidences. 

Even after being exposed Yogendra Yadav continued to make lame excuses in the defense of his act.

This is the typical method used by Liberals and secularist to undermine Hindu religion in order to pave way for the foreign culture to gain legitimacy and superiority over Hindu religion. They are just subtly advertising Islam. Their misleading captions basically propagate that, “look Hindus, your gods also accept the existence of Allah, celebrate Eid and now you also do the same. Your god also doesn’t object in celebrating Eid then how could you dare to do so.” On even days these secularists deny the existence and Krishna and call him as mythological characters but on odd days they accept and celebrate his existence and use him as a tool to propagate their political narrative.

As far as the true nature of the painting is concerned, the painting is most probably a creation of 19th century originating in Tehri-Gerhwal region. Although, some people are also claiming that the painting is in Rajasthani style. Notwithstanding the origin of the painting, it is crystal clear that contrary to the claims the painting does not depict Krishna with ‘rozedaars’ pointing towards the moon. The false narrative of the painting peddled by ‘eminent’ historians such as Harbans Mukhia, Irfan Habib, Ramchandra Guha is an indication of the sad state of Indian historiography and its manipulation by Marxist historians.
