I wonder whether Indians who speak English consider themselves cut from the Indian culture. Sindoora (tilaka) is not vermilion. Vermilion is mercury sulfide (in ayurveda HgS formulation is rasa sindura, diff from sindura for tilaka). Vermilion is toxic. Sindoora is not.1/2

Among the rubbish that this guy is speaking, he mentions this 1, "This policy is trying to impart Indian values(policies) through education." Now if Indian DNEP will not impart its own country's policy, do we expect it to impart Vatican's policies? @arvindneela @HRDMinistry

That a narrative is being built that music can separately exist as "art music ", disassociated from Hindu Dharma, spirituality is mind boggling. Unfortunate.

If what I read about Nalanda Univ under Dr.A.Sen slurping off a whopping 2700 crores in 7 years with a 100 or odd students n faculty members in single digit is true, im aghast! Daylight robbery by a Nobel laureate n scholars. Justice n accountability, my foot. #NalandaUniversity

Coming soon our next episode of Manoranjani. Theme is Bhakti through anecdotes. 1st is from Sri Tyagaraja extolling both Deva n Guru Bhakti. Its indeed timely that the krithi v chose is an epitome of Guru-Shishya bhakti much 2 the chagrin of woke naxals! Can u guess the krithi?

Our Mylapore Maverick, activist mama playing mischief again on the #MeToo aspect n calling to quash the guru-shishya parampara. He takes the name of Gundecha brothers to tarnish Hindus and brings about a North-South divide. He is on a mission. Let us c how far we can resist!

The most interesting part for me is the brevity with which Pingala had communicated this triangle of binomial sequence: परे पूर्णम् । thats all. It is through the commentator that v get to see how these two words come to mean the triangle sequence.

To all those crying sour on the removal of #AbideWithMe tune, masquerading as harbingers of conserving tradition I ask then why are you tooth and nail in abolishing traditions like non entry of women in #sabarimala or hindu rituals like kanyadan? #JustAsking

High time you see the writing on the walls and engage in course correction rather than playing the victim card. Scholarship's face will be saved at the end if the misdoings are acknowledged and corrected!

The fact that our own scientific heritage stuns us (myself included) screams the deplorable nature of our education system. N sad to note that #DNEP 2019 is not doing anything substantial to mitigate this.

Recd on WA : Stunned to learn that Sushruta had identified mosquitoes as the cause of malaria as far back as 1500 BCE. For the next 3300 years, the West thought that malaria was caused by bad smells (mala aria).
