Yes, this is an excellent move. Had met @nsitharaman in the last term and given her a copy of my book "The English Medium Myth."

Anything that dismantles #EnglishApartheid is a real pro-poor and Indic move.
Most important that English requirement be removed from the SSC exam to allow rural youth to compete fairly. Every central examination must be made language-neutral to provide greatest access. @AmitShah
Why just regional rural banks? Why not extend this for all bank exams, which are currently only in English and Hindi. If there is a language requirement, make that part of the training NOT an entrance test.

So, now TikTok by Chinese company ByteDance is the new Social Media viral app, with a valuation in the billions of $s.

How many Indian tech companies have launched a popular global product?

(India has #EnglishAdvantage or #EnglishLiability?)
A list of Chinese technology unicorns in the over $10 billion range. Remember this is TECHNOLOGY. Remember all of Chinese education is in Chinese medium.

How many from India with "English Advantage"?
asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Star…
Of the top 20 market cap leaders in Internet/Technology today, USA has 11 and China has 9. India has ZERO. But India is a "technology leader" due to English because we got some BPO jobs. 😏 A slave civilization aims low, is proud of "English Advantage."

Across the world, Islamic and Christian conquerors burnt vast libraries. From the Mayans, to the Library of Alexandria to that of Nalanda, all were destroyed. Since "One Book" was enough.

Then we were told we had no sense of history, and history was manufactured for us.
In fact, the sense of history of ancient Indians is remarkable. Even histories of families are precisely traced in Haridwar. The Puranas and Itihasas are rich sources, many with precise embedded astronomical dating, since India was far ahead of the world in astronomical science.
@RajivMessage has been working on Swadeshi Indology. We really need a coming together of indigenous history from primary sources discarding the entire phase of Western Indological history for a new chronology. But this needs sustained institutional efforts over time.

This is “development.” As we ape Western society we ape their values, discard Samskar.

Children won’t care for parents. In the “Left-liberalism” State provides Social security. All relationships atrophy but for Individual and state.
When the State takes primacy over dharma this atrophy of values is natural. Read my cross-cultural comparison of dharma vs law.

People who haven't studied either society, ignorantly project a fantasy of the West. They could neither list what is of value in India, nor what it could actually learn. Here is the other side, of what to learn.

Yes! It’s the season of huge groups of school kids in little yellow vests being herded onto the tube by sweating teachers.

I *love* these little guys.

Commuters, stoney-faced, pretending a pack of tiny, excellent comedians haven’t just joined us.
I love that they are dressed as tiny little builders in those yellow vests. Like one of them might fix a pot hole on the way to Madame Tussaud’s.
One of them is eating his packed lunch. Standing up. He’s lost his “partner” which is impeding the head count. The sweating teachers count heads at each stop. Endless counting.

Presumably in case one of the little legends goes rogue and alights at Liverpool Street.

Do you believe in 📈 progress? Here's why you're wrong.

(A thread)
1/ The world is more materially abundant than ever, we’ve eliminated several diseases, lifted millions out of poverty.

Yet, people aren’t reporting higher levels of meaning or happiness than before.
2/ Why is this happening? Rising income or material abundance does not automatically lead to a higher satisfaction.

And not just at a global level, but also at a personal level. Why?

Last week, I put out a call to Christian singles, asking if there was anything they'd like to say anonymously about being single in the church. They delivered. Between now and Wednesday (2/13), I'll be posting their responses on a rolling basis. 1/
If you're single, this thread is to give voice to your perspectives. If you're married, this thread will open a window into what your single friends are dealing with spiritually, relationally & emotionally. If you're a pastor/leader, this thread can inform your ministry. 2/
Everyone's perspectives & experiences are different, of course, but I'd encourage you to approach this thread w/ a listening & learning posture. Instead of saying, "Well, singles at OUR church aren't experiencing THAT," double check by asking singles which tweets resonate. 3/

Given that there's all sorts of speculation that this radio signal might be from an alien civilization, it's time for my long-promised UFO conspiracy theories/far right/Nazis THREAD. ctv.news/IUQvQUX
That’s right, y’all, it’s time to talk about ANTARCTIC NAZI UFOS!
(This was also inspired by this report about a QAnon Proud Boy who stabbed his brother because he thought he was an alien lizard, which, I argued, was due to the influence of David Icke, but we’ll get to that in a minute.) thedailybeast.com/proud-boy-memb…

1/ I finished @nntaleb's new #book Skin in the game, and here are my learnings, insights and notes.

Warning: this thread is going to be huge.
2/ Human systems are systems within systems, interacting in complex ways. No article / paper / logic can capture all interactions of such systems and their evolution over a non-trivial amount of time.

So fear one shot, large scale interventions (such as invasions, UBI, CRISPR)
3/ People with fuck you money should call out famous or powerful people when they are wrong
