BBC News - Bhoot Vidya: India university to teach doctors Ghost Studies. Sorry BBC, Bhuta Vidya भूत विद्या in आयुर्वेद means "Psychotherapy" and not "Ghost Studies". Is UK so financially strapped that BBC can't even hire competent journalists?

Bhoot Vidya: India university to teach doctors Ghost Studies

The course would teach doctors how to treat people who claim to see ghosts or be possessed by them.

It's true that the British stole $47 trillion from India. India's share of the world economy plummeted from 20-25% to 1.4% under their watch. And then they pinned it on caste, an artifical construct that sadly Indians have internalized under the force of relentless propaganda.

Celebrities don't brag about eating pork or beef or chicken or dogs or snakes or vegetables. Because what one eats doesn't concern others. But why do Bollywood actors declare that they love eating beef? It is crass. 1/n

They ruled continuously for 1,500 years. That does sound like the longest rule by any dynasty in human history. How were they this enormously successful?

"Pakistan has to pay $8.3 billion for debt servicing in the next 3 months and foreign reserves stand at $5.8 billion." It spends twice the world average on military and half the world average on education. In a globalized world, it just can't compete. What can Pakistan do?

In my view, the GREATEST unknown book in all of WORLD LITERATURE is योग-वासिष्ठ, Yoga-Vāsiṣṭha (= Mahā-Rāmāyaṇa). It's about Prince Rāma receiving instruction from Sage Vasiṣṭha, a period left out by Vālmīki. It is a book of the deepest wisdom written most charmingly.

The New Education Policy says medium of instruction till class 5 should be in regional language/mother tongue. I think this is an excellent idea. You need your own language to get started in education for confidence and for deeper understanding.

What is wrong with India? Why is govt treating priests worse than slaves? "A priest at the Vilvanathar temple in Pathamadai is paid a salary of Rs. 19 per month while at the historical Kailasanathar temple, the priest is paid a salary of Rs. 215."

Petition on temple priests’ salary

Salary is abysmally low denying them the right to a decent living, says a writ petition
