X has its origins in the folklore of North India about a princess with incomparable beauty who was so delicate that she weighed only as much as a flower. This folklore took the shape of a drama. Soon it became so popular that the name became that of the Genre itself.

The word X, comprises of two words which when translated to English means “Nine “ and a “Silver coin weighing four grams”, and thus metaphorically implies that the graceful princess weighs only 36 grams (9x4 grams). Give me the term X.

Om Singh Rathore came from the influential Rathore family of Chotila. In 1991, on the way from Pali to Chotila, he drove into a tree and his motorcycle fell into a ditch which killed him on the spot. The motorcycle was seized by the local police and taken to the police station but was found the next morning at the accident spot. The bike was seized and taken back to Police station again where it was locked and chained, but it was found at the same place next morning again. The legend says that the bike without fail made it out of the police station even when the fuel tank was allegedly emptied. It is popularly believed that no matter what the policemen did Om Bana's Bullet returned to the accident site before dawn. This was seen as a godly miracle by the people who continue to worship the Bullet Bike still.

Meluha Trilogy by Amish Tripathy

Legend has it that Akbar once goaded Tansen into singing Raga Deepak. Tansen reluctantly obliged. And when he sang, all the lamps of the court lit up. However, the Raga heated up his body and caused severe burns. Tansen’s search for an antidote ended in Vadnagar, Gujarat where two sisters, Tana and Riri were known to be proficient in a certain Raga. That Raga duly summoned the clouds causing to rain over them, thereby relieving Tansen off his misery. But that’s not it. The original version of Vande Mataram in Bankim Chandra Chattopadhay’s Anandmath was also set to music in this Raga. It was set to its present form in Raga Desh by Rabindranath Tagore much later. Which Raga is being talked about?

Raga Malhar

The symbol preserves unique and essential features of Devanagari script. It explicitly states the Indianess of the symbol.

The two horizontal lines with an equal negative white space between them create a foreground and background effect of three strips subtly representing the tricolor of our Indian national flag flying at the top.

The symbol is designed with minimal of three strokes making it very easy to write, construct, reproduce and design.

Which Symbol am I talking about ?

The Sentinelese tribe, are possibly considered the most isolated tribe in the world. The Sentinelese people are a tribe of about 100 people that live completely secluded on North Sentinel Island.

They are thought to be directly descended from the first human populations to emerge from Africa.

X was born on 16 August 1968 in Haryana. X studied mechanical engineering at IIT Kharagpur and then from 1989 he worked for Tata Steel. He left that job in 1992 . He is a former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) and former Joint Commissioner in the Income Tax Department.

X won the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership in 2006 for his contribution to the enactment of the Right to Information Act and for his efforts to empower the poorest citizens of India. In 2006, after resigning from the IRS, he donated his Magsaysay award money as a corpus fund to found an NGO, Public Cause Research Foundation.

X was a close associate to Anna Hazare and in November 2012, he launched a political party named Aam Aadmi Party(AAP).

The dude is Arvind Kejriwal

X received powers from seven gurus who trained and blessed him with "yogic shakti which was natural power.". He was the chosen warrior against evil by siddha gurus of a cult named Suryavanshi. They are followers of the star Sun. As part of training he trained with Kundalini Yoga to waken the 7 chakras of body and gain 'super natural' powers from them.

He also performed Yajna in which he entered the fire himself and dissolved his body in fire. Then, the five elements of life, i.e. fire, wind, water, earth, sky revived his body giving him special powers from them. Thus after leaving his mortal body he was given a super human form to fight against the evil in the world as X.

After X was created he set out to destroy his archenemy Tamraj Kilvish. But, as the Mahaguru explained, Kilvish can only be defeated after evil is destroyed. X's mission is to destroy the sin within people, not the sinned people.
