We actually have mail FROM the big Nasir to others as well
In one, he writes a few coppersmiths to warn them about people who will come about asking questions and warning them to keep calm and not say anything
To quote the man himself
“Do not be critical, and do not fear!”

Dadra and Nagar Haveli, despite being Portuguese territory, wasn’t liberated in 1961 Op Vijay
It actually happened 7 years earlier in 1954, when Local Freedom fighters who wanted to join with India teamed up with 2 different groups- the CPI, and another who I will mention later
Between the two of them, they gathered more than 2 lakh volunteers, and prepared to storm Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
At this time, Partially because Nehru still wanted a diplomatic resolution and partially because the INC wanted to curb the influence of the CPI, they had the leaders arrested just before they could do so. Thankfully, the other group took charge
Who is this other group you might ask? It’s the RSS.
Somehow the Goan freedom fighters manned to get both the CPI and the RSS on the same page. Crazy in itself.
The combined forces of the RSS CPI and the local freedom fingers would surround the Portuguese forces and force them to retreat.
Captain Fidalgo, the Portuguese in charge of defence would attempt to concentrate his forces into a single town as a last ditch effort to hold onto the territory, but the rebels attacked so hard that he was forced to retreat
On 11th August 1954, he would cross the Daman Ganga river into Indian territory and surrender to the police.
For a while, it was governed partially by the RSS and partially by local freedom fighters leaders until 1961 when it formally joined the Republic

1) Its shorter
2) Its trending and more commonly used, esp on social media
3) Who cares? I dont mean this in a disrespectful manner, just pointing out that for most people, convenience and the urge to fit in triumphs over using the proper term.

We had landed on this mud ball planet to scout it out for expansion.
Its primary inhabitants, the humans were a relatively primitive race. They were spread thin across the planet.
We were advanced enough to cover every inch of our worlds in urban sprawl, housing trillions and producing the future through mass industrialisation.
(Think Coruscant from Star Wars)
These primitive humans made tiny settlements. Even if I were to combine all their cities and towns and villages into one, it would cover less than a tenth of this planet.
Our factories produced 80 billion bombs every single rotation. Enough to bomb every single human 10 times over.
This planet would give us a base of operations for further expansion in this galactic region. All that stood between us was a primitive space who could be scorched by a single fleet.
Our victory was guaranteed.
Is it worth it
I looked at my squad mate. He looked oddly contemplative.
What?
Is this whole war worth it?
I looked at him odd. He knew as well as I did how important it was we gained a foothold in this region. Maybe he had apprehensions about the casualties involved?
Look, these humans are primitive. They can’t hit us. They don’t even fully rule their own planet.
Exactly
WHAT?
Exactly. Look around you
We stood on the side of a geographical elevation. My smart visor showed the terrain outline. Behind us it rose taller and taller, pinnacling in a peak.
I don’t get it. It is a geographical elevation. Many exist, even on nearby planets like Mars, or the moon of Titan. Let us proceed
We walked downhill. The slope seemed to even out. My partner went ahead. He seemed to take great interest in the ground.
Do you see a mineral deposit?
No, look at the ground
I looked at the ground. It was flat. My smart visor showed a slight tilt of about 10 degrees.
What instrests you on the ground
Look
I see nothing.
Are you on smart visor mode?
Yes. The GUI provides exact coordinates and instructions to proceed
Take it off
No.
Cmon
It is against standard protocol. Our visors
“Oh come on” he said as he ripped my helmet off
I screamed. This planets atmosphere could be poisonous. Its air could contain viruses or bacteria, I covered my face. The air smelt weird. What had that fool done
YOU IDIOT. SMELL THE AIR. IT’S NOT BREATHABLE AIR
I have had my helmet off for the last hour
What
The air is breathable
But it smells-
The air is free of containments found on our homeworld
I slowly removed my hands, and squinted as my eyes began to adjust to the light
Oh my
In the back stood the geographical elevations I was standing on. It rose higher and higher. It went from green to plain black to white, as snow covered the mountains tops.
I tried to keep steady. Looking at the mountains had an odd effect on me. A massive cognitohazard. My partner looked up with me. I could tell he was also trying hard to keep steady
It really makes you think doesn’t it. How tiny we’re truly are in the grand scale of things.
I agreed. The longer I looked at it, the more I realised I was looking at something unimaginably bigger than me. I had a feeling It was older than our entire civilisation, and that it would stand long after we all died
I turned away. I couldn’t look anymore. I looked down.
Wow
We stood in a field covered in organic plants. A massive plane of green. Wait, it wasn’t all green. It had colours sprinkled in between. Bright yellows, deep purples and vibrant reds.
I laid down and felt my muscles ease. I looked up at the sky. Without any orbital megastructures,it seemed so vast and endless.
The sun was going down. It painted the sky in various colours. I saw orange and yellow, with the occasional tint of green and purple
My partner lied down beside me
Perfect place for a hive city isn’t it?
Something in me snapped. The idea of tearing it all up for a hive city disgusted me.
So do we tell high command that this planet is ripe for the taking?
No
Then?
We keep this
What do we tell them then?
Nothing
What do you mean nothing?
For the first time in my life, I found myself saying something from the bottom of my heart
We just stay silent. We never report back. Let them mark us AWOL
Then where we go?
Nowhere
What??!!
We stay right here
(Edit: While it’s not letting me post pics, the scenery was inspired by Valley of Flowers National Park in India.)

And chinese audience
Maybe its just the 3d lobby and stuff, but I feel the chinese playerbase got much more attention than the the rest of the wrold
