RM Roy is a major figure in India's colonial history with many contributions to society.
Watch "Ram Mohan Roy & Decline of Sanskrit". Then vote in the polls below.
1) People criticize Macaulay for replacing the traditional education with Anglicized education. Should they also know that Roy pioneered that proposal a decade before Macaulay, and wrote to the British asking them to replace Sanskrit with English medium?
2) Should people know that Roy worked as an employee of the East India Company in a senior capacity, helping them rule over his fellow Indians?

My next video is a 19-minute crisp discussion on Ram Mohan Roy & the decline of Sanskrit in India.
I also explain that Rashtra comes first & we must transcend regional identities like “Bengali”, “Punjabi”, “Tamilian”, etc.
My video explains that transcending regional identity does not mean denying/ignoring it. But have priorities right - first Yajna, second Rashtra, third Rajya. Regional identity comes after.
As I explain in forthcoming video (tomorrow), I enjoy the Punjabi chola-bhatura & occasionally do bhangra (not yet good at it). But never saw Pakistani-Punjabis as "Punjabi bhai bhai". Never felt we should help them cross border into India. Priority must be Rashtra First

RAM MOHAN ROY wrote following letter to British Prime Minister William Pitt asking to replace Sanskrit with Anglicized education in India. This was 12 years before Macaulay's campaign. Roy did many good things also. But what do you think of this action? groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/…
RM Roy PIONEERED the de-Sanskritizing of Indian education by arguing that Sanskrit was anti-intellectual. Macaulay implemented this. Attached excerpt from @sanjeevsanyal book shows he blindly follows RM Roy. I dont want fight with Sanjeev - he is also doing good things.
Let us focus on policy issues: Do you agree with the Roy-Macaulay-Sanyal camp that removing Sanskrit was good for India?

#China backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.

In 2012, Tim Cook announced Apple would make a Mac computer in the US.

But when Apple began making the $3000 computer in Texas, it struggled to find enough screws. By the time the computer was ready for mass production, Apple had ordered screws from China nyti.ms/2HBT2QK
Apple CEO Tim Cook: “The skill here is just incredible. In the US, you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I’m not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields.” (h/t @scottlincicome)
"Caterpillar said costs tied to new US tariffs on foreign goods, including steel and aluminum, were just above $100 million over the 5 months of 2018 that they were in effect.

The company expects more than $200 million in tariff-related costs this year." wsj.com/articles/cater…

#India can't ban #bitcoin. Bitcoin will happily and easily move underground and the resulting premium will draw in more.
Countries will eventually get it, trying to ban bitcoin incentivizes civil disobedience.
It's also interesting that the two gold loving countries of China and India fight bitcoin so much.

Will they be on the wrong side of a monetary shift once again?
