AYODHYA AND KOREA

 Any Korean surnamed Kim (from Gimhae) or Heo, trace their origins back to one Indian Princess from Ayodhya named Suriratna (Queen Heo Hwang-ok)



According to the Samguk Yusa (Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms) text, in 48 CE, a 16-year-old princess arrived by boat on the shores of the Geumgwan Gaya kingdom (modern-day Gimhae in South Korea). She stated that the Heavenly Lord appeared in her parents' dreams, instructing them to send her to marry King Kim Suro, the founder of the Gaya Kingdom.

The Samguk Yusa says she came from a distant land named "Ayuta". Anthropologists and linguists (like Professor Kim Byung-mo) popularized the theory that "Ayuta" is phonetically identical to Ayodhya.

The royal couple had 12 children.

The Kims: Ten sons carried on King Suro's lineage. This birthed the Gimhae Kim clan.

The Heos: The queen requested that her family name not be lost, so King Suro allowed two of their sons to take her maiden name, founding the Gimhae Heo clan.

In 2000, Ayodhya and Gimhae signed an official Sister City agreement. Every year, hundreds of South Korean tourists and members of the Karak Clan travel to Ayodhya to pay tribute at the Queen Heo Hwang-ok Memorial Park on the banks of Sarayu River.


Technically North Korean Kim Jong Un could be of Indian ancestry but there is a problem. The ancient link to Princess Suriratna (Queen Heo) belongs exclusively to the Gimhae Kim clan (as well as the Gimhae Heo clan). The ruling Kim dynasty of North Korea does not belong to the Gimhae Kims. They belong to the Jeonju Kim clan.

The Jeonju Kims trace their paternal lineage back to a 13th-century Goryeo Dynasty courtier named Kim Tae-seo, who was a descendant of the royal house of the Silla Kingdom (specifically the Gyeongju Kim branch)—not the Gaya Kingdom founded by Kim Suro.

So, while roughly 10% of South Koreans (over 6 million people) can claim that maternal link to Ayodhya, Kim Jong Un and the North Korean "Paektu bloodline" come from an entirely separate genealogical tree!

THE POLITICS OVER BORDER FENCING

  When Modi sarkar came into office in 2014, 1. Roughly 1,520 km of the total 2,216.7 km border was already fenced in West Bengal. All of it by UPA-I and UPA-II under Dr Manmohan Singh. 2. By August 2025, Modi sarkar managed to fence only 127km in 12 years. 3. Pending (Feasible): 456.2 km 4. Non-Feasible/Unfenceable: 112.8 km (Rivers/Swamps/Sundarbans mangroves etc) For 12 years Modi and Shah have been screaming Ghuspethiya because they failed to fence a mere 456 kms while past govts, UPA-I and UPA-II under Dr Manmohan Singh, since the year 2000 managed to complete 1,520 km of the total 2,216.7 km border in Bengal and also the rest of the Indo-Bangla border stretching across 4,096.7 km Nobody asked when over 3,232 km is already fenced and sealed, what prevented BSF from sealing a mere 456.2 km by physical control and patrolling? Border sealing in any case is the primary responsibility of the BSF. Suvendu Adhikar says that BSF will be provided land within 45 days for border fencing ...

  CROSSING "THE THIN RED LINE" The "Thin Red Line" often means the final boundary or division between order and chaos, or between good and evil. It is also used to denote a limit beyond which someone must not go without facing severe consequences. It suggests the idea of a physical boundary marking the limits between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. The expression is part of the English language vocabulary. However, there is a military origin to this phrase which goes back to the British Crimean War, particularly the Balaklava Campaign. Though the Balaklava Campaign became infamous for one of the most infamous blunders in military history, the Charge of the Light Brigade, made immortal by Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell. They that had fought so well Came through the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of h...
