1. I wish well-meaning people stop mentioning Israel’s adoption of Hebrew as a model for us. They don’t realize, it was only made possible by Jews **abandoning** their mother tongues, replacing those with Hebrew as the new mother tongue. Want to abandon Tamil, Avadhi, Bangla etc?
2. I also wish people stop thinking of Sanskrit as a standalone monolithic ingua franca. It was Sanskrit+Apabhramsha+Desha Bhashas together as inseparable parts of the Sanskritic lingua franca. Start promoting that integral lingua franca. Hindi is

today’s national Apabhramsha, and all the regional languages are today’s Prakrits. Unfortunately only English is today’s Sanskrit. Change that - promote Sanskrit to eventually replace English as our intellectual language.

The number of articles is only half the measurement of wiki activity in a language.

Stats on language wise readership and editing activity in the next few tweets.

French 751M
Chinese 394M

No indic language has more than 100 mill views, and only two had more than 10 mill

Recently in a social gathering I lost patience with a gentleman who was going on and on cribbing about ‘greedy pandits’ who according to him having made paurohitya a trade and so on were the biggest reason for Hindus downfall. Such ignorant people expect purohita to be a
vItarAga vAnyaprasthin with no financial responsibilities? They don’t realize purohita also has a family to support, children to educate, parents to care for, daughters to marry, sisters houses to send gifts to, and other social responsibilities to address. Ignorantly many people
also incorrectly think dakShiNA to be a charity. dakShiNA is not a charity - it is a “fees” for the purohita. More or less like a fee for other professional like a lawyer or doctor or a CA. Besides, strangely some exhibit a subtle dveSha towards their purohita just by nature!

Mullawood can feature Khusro’s lovesong जिहाले मिस्कीं मकुन् बरंजिश but not a single Hindi lovesong written by Sumitra Nandan Pant. Even Premchand camped in Bollywood for a year but returned dejected. I think Bharatiya Hindi poets/writers dont need developing but promotion and
the Urdu film industry of mullawood applies selective pressure to cull out the Hindi creative content. I only hope the more evolved filmmakers in Telugu, Bangla etc will recognize Hindi also as another of their own language and promote its poets/writers. Saryajit Ray for instance
while primarily doing his work in Bangla, but he did recognize Hindi and did extend his creativity to Hindi as well, by both featuring Hindi in his Bangla works as well as making Hindi films in Calcutta

Life is too “politicized” these days. I think most people sense this but it’s a frustration that goes nowhere, because the cultural language that creates it is incapable of formulating an escape from it
Why is it that every mundane act takes on a political dimension? And why does the tension seem to eternally escalate, each day more heated than the last? Some possibilities, maybe all true:
Possibility: Real economic growth is dead and fiat money and propaganda hide this fact. Fighting gets nastier as the real pie gets smaller

Tagging companies on the list of Planned Murderhood contributors. I am DISGUSTED with every single one of you on this list. Some of the names are really shocking considering the business you are in and the fact that income form those businesses you would spend on killing babies
You ALL participated and most are STILL participating in MURDERING of innocent AMERICAN lives. Your resources could be spent on medical care, childcare, playgrounds, education... Instead you choose to follow the leftist agenda and POWER over doing the RIGHT THING.

1/21 From the very beginning #Israel planned to usurp #Palestine
#OsloPeace didn't manage to dismantle a single Settlement,to the contrary, #Israel started taking more #Palestinian Land
During the 7 yrs following #Oslo,the Settler Population within the #WestBank increased by 90%
2/21 Following Intl pressure to stop Settlements #Israel began new tactics,under the pretext of natural growth,they expanded & fattened,the existing settlements & connected them to each other & to Israel
Slicing the land blocking any possibility of a contiguous #Palestinian State
3/21 #Israeli Settlements along with their Road Network & Security Zones, occupy about 42% of Palestinian Land.
Roads btw Settlements can only be traveled by Settlers,the basic Human Right of Freedom of Movement within ones Home Country has been taken away from the #Palestinians

THE WATCHMAN

[...] "The watchman’s task has always been a thankless one.
"There are treacherous fifth column elements, who are really working for the #defeat of the #nation, at the hands of its enemies.
"These subversive elements readily gain and hold the #public’s ear, because they soothingly tell the people what they want to hear. Go back to sleep, no danger can come, and there is nothing you can do.

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.

1- Thread: Why should you join over 4000 people who believe #Israel may be committing #genocide against the indigenous #Palestinian people?
israelgenocide.com/take-action/
2- In the past two years, Israel has executed over 400 Palestinians in the streets of the West Bank. A fourth of them children, the majority of them youth. Tens of thousands have been injured.
3- There are currently over 6000 Palestinian prisoners in Israel's prisons. It is estimated that in the past two years over 14,000 Palestinians have been imprisoned (that's 20 new prisoners every day on average).
