Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior review- Great acting by Ajay, Saif, Sharad Kelkar, Kajol and others. A lot of CGI/effects put to decent use(watched in 2D). Good build of the story in creating the visuals of 16th century, showing the greatness of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in building hindavi swarajya in those critical times. Everything is fine until last minute of the movie, I couldn't believe they made a disappointing twist to the story at the end. Almost every Maharashtrian kid grows up reading the original story and I kept waiting for the moment where shelar mama cuts (or orders to cut and Suryaji cuts) the ropes which never came. The movie ends abruptly after Tanaji-Udaybhan fight. That to me, misses the spirit of this historical battle which Suryaji and others fought back hard after losing their leader. I am not writing what was exactly shown in the movie to avoid spoilers.
Original story: "In March of 1670, in the middle of one night, Tanaji Malusare attacked Kondhana(later Sinhgad) on Shivaji’s orders. He, his brother Suryaji and his maternal uncle Shelar mama, and the soldiers climbed the cliffs to enter the fort and caught the fort army by surprise. In the battle that ensued, Tanaji was killed. The soldiers started running back to the ropes they used to climb. At this time, Shelar mama ordered to cut the ropes, cutting the only retreat option of soldiers. Soldiers turned back and Maratha army won the fort."
There is no question about dedication and bravery of Tanaji. However the award for excellent military tactics goes to Shelarmama/Suryaji. Sadly after 100 years, Maratha army lacked any Shelarmama on the battleground of Panipat. When Vishwasrao fell, Maratha army dissolved, leaving giant wound on Marathas that would take decades to heal.
May it be battleground, or may it be personal life. One thing is clear. History cannot be made unless the ropes to retreat are cut off.

Joe Moore, inspired by a Persian (sic) (Maratha in actuality) general Tanaji Malusare decided to sneak into The Citadel and take it over in a similar fashion. He strapped a rope to a lizard that was going to climb up the wall and allow the gang to climb it. - Source
Link describing the battle This is really well known among the people native to the region (Maharashtra India) yet I can't find much information about it online. If it is true, was this tactics used at any other time in history.
I would appreciate any sources describing the event or the origination of the myth.
The reason I ask about the Gauntlet swords is it seems like it would be really hard to use two of those at the same time.
Ok Since Today's India's Independence day I thought I should post a Hatsu for that matter
Name:- A warrior destined to loose:- Fight for Freedom
Type: Conjuration
Explaination:- The user conjures two different outfits for himself and he leaves all hope to Survive in battle. These Outfits are related two Of very brave and greatest moments of Indian History that are world renowned for how epic they were and how the soldiers who fought gave there own despite knowing that they will die.
1)The Mardani Khel armour.
It's a relatively light weight armour focused on movement rather than defense. This is Inspired by the story of Maharashtran warriors Specially from the story of Tanhaji and Shivaj. You can read about it from here basically this is Inspired from the Battle of Singhad which was led by Tanhaji Malusa and in which he did score the victory but lost his life. He has known to have fought without one of his arm in battle and even then Fighting like a true warrior. This armour comes up with 300 soldiers (esitamed soldiers that have accompanied the proud warrior) each soldier is not much stronger than an Average person and certainly not Stronger than any average nen user, but what they lack in strength they make up in speed the user and the soldiers are well versed in the tactic of Mardani Khel an art form that had many Weapons such as Talwar, Shamsheer, Katar, Spears, Shields and horses. They get Mastery over all of them. It is said that a Maharashtran Army was undefeatable at there time, they used Guerrilla warfare to win. These soldiers are very persistent and cutting limbs or gutting them will not stop them inspired by the legend of Tanhaji and how he fought even with one arm. Each soldiers death and pain is felt by the user and the pain only increases as each Soldier dies. But as the soliders die the power of each individual increases though by very small margin.
2)The saragarhi Armour:-
The Battle of Saragarhi is one of the greatest known battles in the history of mankind. This was fought by 21 Sikh Soldiers fought against an Army of Afgans(Literally thousands and Thousands of Soldiers) all alone and held them at bay till reinforcements came to help and stopped the Afghan Invasion. One of the Soldiers Ishar Singh has said to have fought against an entire army in hand to hand Combat all alone and

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For too long we've only referred to Anti-Maratha IT Cells indirectly. But here is some evidence for everyone's entertainment
A sense of shamelessness and vulgarity distinguishes Sub-Altern Plebeians from Highborn, as is evident in these screenshots.
This handle operated by a Casteist Chauvinist IT Cell is equipped with all British, Portuguese, Dutch sources and other sub-altern historiographers' trash books.
It openly abuses and degrades an elite 96 Kulin Maratha Nobleman (descendant of Kanhoji Angre, Shri Raghujiraje Angre) by using his OWN picture, then having the audacity to jeeringly "correct" him when he opposes this bullshit that Angres are coastal Mahadeo Kol*s!
Citing from "India's Naval Traditions: The Role of Kunhali Marakkars
By K. K. N. Kurup" Chapter: Admiral Kanhoji Angre Pg. 73 Para. 2, Line no. 4:-
"The Angrian, whose family name is Sankhpal (Shankhapala, Sankpal, Sakpal, Sapkal) hails from a tiny village, Angarwadi, in the Mawal hills, six miles from Poona. They are *blue-blood Marathas* and would *spurn their noses to marry in families lower* than those of Deshmukhs, Jadhavs, Jagtaps and Kshittaules."
LET ALONE BE HAVING ANY RELATION TO KOLI CASTE!
Next this Twitter Handle went on to abuse the generation of Angres born after Kanhoji Angre as "unofficial" bastards, yet like a true hypocrite worthless baseborn, they later presented the Angre dynasty as Mahadeo Kol* with the full chart upto 19th Century CE and also presenting the copyrighted photographs of Angre Royals.
Wikipedia is already hijacked by these IDPOL subhumans, so are countless books tossed about in mainsteam academia. From Sarkhel Kanhoji Angre to Subehdar Tanaji Malusare to Sarnobat Yesaji Kank as well as Surgana Pawar Kingdom, these IT Cells have begun devouring the Maratha identity via multiple Blogs, Facebook Articles, Wikipedia Edits, and so on and so forth.
Now Angres are Shankhpalas, Kanks are a branch of Raghuvanshi Nikam clan that ruled Baglana in Khandesh till 14th century before the Rashtraudha Baguls took over and Malusares are a clan of Malla Kshatriyas.(Malusures were considered a minor clan back in the day)
These shameless scallywags even repeatedly harassed filmmaker Ajay Devgan over Tanhaji Malusare being depicted (correctly) as a proper authentic Mard Maratha.
They approached the courts with their prostituted sub-alternist history books and compelled the filmmakers to add a horseshit notice before the film that "Maratha" refers to
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!

It was about a weak back.
