Chandraprakash Dwivedi ji's Chanakya series was prematurely ended because of intense pressure on DD from Marxist "academics" who accused it of promoting Saffron nationalism. Make sure that you make more ppl watch the series. Its powerful message needs to reach more ppl.

I have a better idea. Govt should tax the rich 100%, snatch their properties, nationalise their businesses, seize their accounts, put them in front of a firing squad & make India a glorious saffron soviet socialist state. But then how will IRS guys survive on just their salaries?

The sweetness of Urdu is because of Farsi. Persian and Sanskrit have combined to produce more than five hundred words like shabnam, Zareena, kheer (as in kheer kurma). Urdu has no grammar, only words using Hindi grammer & verbs. Anyway every language has its own unique beauty.
The idea of Hindu Rashtra has become anathema only because it is not sufficiently explained and understood. It is the other side of the Idea of India. Hope, a healthy debate will follow leading to consensus.
