"Constitutionalism is the modern political equivalent of Rajdharma, the ancient Hindu concept"
- says Michael Kirby, ex- judge of the Australian apex court in a @the_hindu article today.

Do you agree?
If I may, Rajadharma is the sacred onus on those in positions of power to discharge their responsibilities righteously- not just 'lawfully'

Constitutionalism, through the lens of Indian tradition, is only another smriti philosophy taking over whence Manu & Yajnavalkya faltered.
According to the author of this article, a 49% reservation does NOT kill merit NOR threaten the principle of equality of birth. But if just you push it to 59%, it suddenly and miraculously destroys meritocracy & equality.

Do you agree?

"The Hindu right struggles to prove that Indians are direct descendants of Harappans"

Mr 'Vir Sanghvi', 5 million Harappans (~25% of humanity in 2000 BCE) did not vanish into thin air. No struggle is required. Common sense. You should try it sometime.

"Very little evidence to suggest there were horses in the Indus Valley while early Hindu texts mention Arya riding horse-drawn chariots."

The author seems extremely confused. He says this and yet the picture on his article is of the Sanauli Chariot! Let's not beat a dead horse.
"Aryans came from steppes & brought early Hinduism. How are they different from Muslims?"

Vedic is North India's OLDEST recorded cultural layer. Not even ONE Vedic place/river/Fauna/Flora name is Dravidian. There is ZERO evidence that North Indians once spoke an older language.

Why learn Sanskrit?

Because it is the oldest recorded language on Earth
Because many of the greatest intellectual strides were scripted on its palm leaves
Because an ocean of information & wisdom remains untapped in its granthas
Because it is the only bhāṣā that can unite India
Because it has the potential to turn all Indians irrespective of his/her religion into patriots
Because it can resolve many of the conflicts plaguing us if revealed & taught truthfully
Because the most glorious pages of our history remain condemned to oblivion yet preserved in it
Because it has the most perfect grammar ever laid down
Because it is the closest daughter of PIE, the source of 445 IE languages spoken by over 40% of humanity.
Because, too great to die, it is still spoken by thousands
Because most of the words in your mother tongue is sanskrit!

Indians like blind fools celebrate the Gregorian calendar's new year

They have forgotten the ancient panchānga & its history
That colonialists forcibly replaced it with their imperial yet inferior calendar
That the Gregorian reform was done with it's help

Teach it to everyone!
The Gregorian calendar with it's superstitious AD-BC notation was used as an imperial & religious tool to hammer church history on the world. Today it is taken as an unquestionable fact by all of humanity that this system validates the life of Jesus.

Why does no historian with 'secular credentials' protest this? Why is it that even the best scholars, once indoctrinated with western version of history, is mentally unable to question so many flawed decisions? Why?

Won't there be another wave of #IntoleranceDebate if we try?

I am frequently asked (usually offline) about which Bible translation(s) I recommend. I realized that some of you on here might be interested.
I'll list them here and then I'll say a bit about why I recommend each.
-CEB
-NRSV
-JPS
The CEB (Common English Bible) is my top rec. It's one of the only committee-based translations that include black women. That type of inclusivity is important when making translation choices.
The CEB is also a hybrid translation, meaning that it strives for verbal equivalence while also achieving dynamic balance with common language. This is incredibly important for reading something like a biblical text - it captures the meaning while remaining readable.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Laugh at your own ignorance @RifatJawaid @vikramchandra
Study:
histories by medieval Muslim historians,

Chapter, ‘Hindustan ki Masjiden’ in
Maulana Hakim Sayid Abdul Hai’s,
‘Hindustan Islami ahad mein’

‘Epigraphia Indica’ by Archeological Survey of🇮🇳

1-Maulana Abdul Hai in the chapter, Hindustan ki Masjiden,describes each principal masjid in few lines;

“Qutub-Din Aibak, after demolishing Temple built by Prithviraj, leaving certain parts, built Quwwat al-Islam in 587”,👇🏻
2- In 592,Aibak returned & under Shihabud-Din Ghori’s orders, started building a huge masjid of red stone including certain parts of the Temple.

When Shamsud-Din Altamish became the king, he built edifices of white stone on both its sides & on one side, the lofty towers..

Today's thread

Measurement of time.
How current calendars can't match ancient Hindu timekeeping.

Why a day isn't always 24 hours long

Why a year doesn't have 365.25 days

#science #astronomy #Time
1/n
How long does a day last everyday? 24 hours? Wrong.

We define day as the time taken by Earth to complete one rotation around its axis.
But with respect to what is the measurement made? 2/n
Since Earth is also revolving around Sun while it is rotating, it needs to rotate a little extra when rotation is measured w.r.t. sun (solar day) than a distant star (sidereal day)
