A solution to India's many problems...
Mother tongue as the medium of instruction; a simple Sanskrit as India's national language; and English as the international language for the time being. This was Sri Aurobindo's idea when he talked about education.

That which is not pedantic, language of a scholar, also not a simplified Sanskrit...but simple with its original force, flavor and spirit. Not the language of Magha or Bharavi, but the language of Valmiki. A language that can apeal to people's heart.

Read Secret of the Vedas by Sri Aurobindo's and symbolism of Vedic God's by Kashyap.
You will find less history in Vedas than upanisads or bagavad Gita. Other than names of rishi's everything else is esoteric spiritual poetry.

#Sabarimala Reading Madhavi Menon @AshokaUniv “A History of Desire in India”. The chapter on #ayyappan is most educative and should be read by all those who know very little on the subject & are yet floating opinions.

#MeToo And The Making Of A Liberal Patriarchy.
In a rootless and derivative academic climate such as one we have in India, liberalism has become an alibi to justify perversion and also a tool to demonise everything intellectuals do not agree with. https://t.co/vXFzEL1Vdn

Saar, Katju J is an authority on Mimansa Rules of interpretation used in ancient India to interpret karmakanda. Its rules are far more refined and fine-tuned than Maxwell's rules of interpretation. He had delivered judgements applying the Mimansa. Maxwell has gaps. Mimansa, none

चुप वाले अर्बन नक्सलियों की पहचान भी अलग होती है। वे वाचाल होते हैं, अच्छा बोलते हैं, अच्छा लिखते हैं, बड़े सफेदपोश, बड़े सभ्य नज़र आते हैं। बड़े सुलझे विचारों वाले, बदलाव की बात करने वाले, आधुनिकता के साथ जीने वाले होते हैं।

उनका व्यक्तित्व आपको सहज ही आकर्षित करता है और यही ट्रैप है जिसमें आप फंस जाते हैं, और नक्सलियों को पसंद करने लगते हैं। यही उनकी मार्केटिंग की चाल है।
सावधान रहें ,ये सब जगह हैं ..
इन्हें पहचाने और चिन्हित करें .. #UrbanNaxals

''Periyar had worked tirelessly towards creating a casteless society. RSS too advocates and practises the same ideology”, said Dr Vaidya
Aim is creation of Utopia. Just that method is different and is via brainwashing and coercion, unlike revolution of commies.
"as both advocate equality in society without caste and communal differences and class distinctions"
I understand your anger. But That words are not mine but of Vaidya. And I will take Vaidya a better person to describe what is RSS ideology than you or me. He thinks that RSS and Dravidean ideolgy go hand in hand and aim is a casteless classless society.

This is the problem of the brainwashed lot. They themselves start believing in certain propaganda and will claim that they are bigger authority on that org than those people who run it.

I have interviewed so many people who are put into nursing homes or hospices and are just waiting to die. It's a very lonely situation to just sit at a window and watch life go by.

just the latest in a series: #jallikattu, #dahihandi, #diwali, #ayodhya. SC is not innocent. it chooses anti hindu PILs to hear, quickly makes sweeping judgments; but rejects kashmiri pundit's petition. i think impeachment of SC should begin. oh wait, who'll start it? @BJP4India?
https://twitter.com/RajeevSrinivasa/status/1062333672018259968?s=19
today's sabarimala hearing was such a farce! even by layman logic, the impugned judgment should have been stayed while taking stock of the situation on the ground. by not doing that, SC is doing trench warfare against hindus, to attack modi by proxy.

[The question betrays impatience — I myself am not sure as to the form my work should take, though I have some ideas within me. I am constitutionally an anarchist and a communist and try to form plans according to my bent and this has become an obstacle to the real Truth-Force organizing its work.
