Don't have the energy to rage at this but it is common scholarly knowledge that the Mahabharata did grow out of Brahmanicial reaction towards Mauryan Heterodoxy. So it is not unlikely at all that later parts of the text attempts to synthesize diverse religious systems/values.

If you are in Madison @ACSAMadison I will be discussing how this seven headed beast from the Book of Revelations ended up in Puri in the 17th Century. In the spirit of Halloween, I talk a bit about the devil, the apocalypse, Hinduism, and European travel writing! 📌Saturday 1:30.

Dear @MajorPoonia , if you're such a 'veteran', then how come you deleted your own tweet with the same video that @majorgauravarya posted. Isn't it because you two were making contradicting claims? Or you trust @AltNews more than yourself? READ: 1/3

@tjoseph0010 @TVMohandasPai @AbhijitChavda @GautamDesiraju @gchikermane @sangamtalks I think the Right wing's obsession with "open debate" stems from their incompetence to execute academic rigor. Rhetoric is their last hope.

@TewariAlok @ShekharGupta Well because you need money to print money. Useless to have 30, 40 when you have immediate higher denomination. Also the logic to not have a 1000 given was that higher currency will lead to more hoarding. Yet after that we have 2000. So what's the point of not having a 1000?

The only canadian citizens that need an Indian Visa are Indian Canadians who may want to return home to families. Modi's "Ballistic Missile" like all his programs hurts Indians the most.

India just activated a diplomatic ballistic missile. Visa services for Canadian citizens suspended. Massive escalation. Modi Govt not taking unsubstantiated charges of the Trudeau Govt lying down. Choosing to go on an all out attack mode against Canada, which has been harbouring

Why do Brahmins like to exoticize themselves? Always find this surprising about them. They will spin the most mundane act (oral transmission of knowledge) with an esoteric spin and claim it as a monumental achievement.

No wonder why they want to destroy Brahmins. Amazed at how they have preserved this ancient system of imparting vedas. He is embedding muscle and sense into audible memory. This is how the oral tradition was carried forward purely. Each sense was involved and moved to a rhythm.

Sabyasachi Das’s paper was attacked by BJP leaders and the university quickly distanced itself from his study, prompting accusations of 'democratic backsliding in the academia'.

@UrsulaKPenguin @nabihaiderali Absolutely! I am not contending that. I am just suggesting how this idea of teaching Gita as a way to educate about Hinduism is a modern construction. No religious text should be imposed by a secular government. That is the fundamental principle we should abide by.
