Disagree with you @ChamuKShastry ji. The State is the biggest culprit in killing Indian languages. Even now @myogiadityanath has turned 5000 schools to English medium.

Language always depends on State support. India is deliberately killing Sanskrit and #IndianLanguages.
When you look at when Sanskrit flourished in India, when Persian flourished, when English became dominant, this is ALL due to State policies. @narendramodi

The Indian Govt has decided to kill off Indian languages, which is the same as killing Indian culture and civilization.
The RSS samskara has been, to not rely on the State, work on the Samaj. This is misplaced in the case of languages. What is the point of getting to power without turning around the destructive policies of the colonial state?

Where @ShoaibDaniyal continues to spin based on Romila Thapar's Hindu hate.

The so-called Aryan-Dravidian racial theory is not controversial because of "Hindutva." It is controversial because it has been used to divide people into North South and justify colonization.
@ShoaibDaniyal A tenuous theory about people thousands of years ago has been used to attack India. First it was "Aryan invasion", then "Aryan migration" now Steppe-people DNA.

All due to falsely correlating the Sanskrit term Aryan with race since Christian colonizers were race-obsessed.
@ShoaibDaniyal Of course the DNA neither shows the direction of migration nor languages. The geography of the Rig Veda is entirely centered around India not some mythical "steppes."

The only conclusion from DNA studies—Indian DNA is totally mixed, blowing any "race purity" theory of "caste".

British wanted to appropriate the Khalsa as a fighting force for heir empire. To this cause they created Brit-Sikhi. They told Sikhs that they’ve lost the true teachings of the Gurus since before that most Sikhs followed Hindu customs.

They manufactured a “religion” for them. 🙄
This was taught first to the colonized Sikh army officers and soldiers and propagated from there. It is a lifeless rootless religion. This makes Brit-Sikhs easy prey for missionaries in Punjab.

Why would one want a bad photocopy of Christianity when one can have the original.
Read Harjot Oberoi.

Pre-British Sikhs largely followed the same "Hindu" customs for birth, marriage, death etc. Sikh identity was constructed during British times and this based on Abrahamic template of "religion."
(cf Balu. there is no religion in India)

Same thing in Kerala was well.

This is why the story of "lower caste women forced to bare their breasts" is a absurd atrocity literature. It projects "convent school shame" onto a culture where bare breasts for women were normal, including for the queen and "high society."
Definitely moving backwards—from Abrahamic suppression of the feminine.

There is no logical reason why women’s chests must be covered while men’s can be bare. “Burn the bra” of Western feminists now fights for the freedom to be bare-chested.

The colonized mind is so hard to break open. This has nothing to do with being “progressive.” In fact, new gyan will soon download from the West on how forging women to cover their chest is so “regressive.”

Today is Jayanti of Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose, one of the greatest scientists of modern India. However this thread is not about his life per se, I would be focusing more on his work on radio communication, a field where he was a pioneer in many ways.
While JC Bose is more known for his work on plants,his work on radio science is not that much known. Matter of fact while Marconi often gets the credit for Radio, it was Bose who laid the foundation, came up with the original concept and implementation too.
This thread is more a look at Bose's work in radio science. And it would be a bit technical too in places, so please do bear with me here. Of course considering the fact that my Engg Major was in Communication Engg, have a soft corner for this, though in IT now.

a taekook au where model Kim Taehyung gets into a car crash and ends up with severe injuries that could’ve paralyzed him from waist down. But after a successful surgery, they hire a physical therapist to strengthen his legs again.

But it doesn’t help that it’s his ex Jeongguk.
Should i
•

When Taehyung first gets into the accident, there’s nothing.

He feels nothing, he hears nothing and he sees nothing. And once the shock disappears, there’s pain. Blinding, unbearable pain and he tries to scream but he can’t hear his own voice over the chaos around him.

leaders of the so called Dravidian Movement consider Christian Missionaries & Britishers as Saviors of Tamil Language. Let me expose the shallowness of their argument & narrate how the missionaries were instrumental in sowing the regional divide to foster their conversion agenda
1. Christian Missionaries laid the foundation of this Dravidian movement. They very well knew that its impossible to subjugate India as long as the Hindu spirit is there , so missionaries were sent to Tamil Nadu and break the Hindu spirit and destroy Hindu Culture.
2. Christian missionaries started to establish their bases slowly but steadily, in the guise of trade. The dutch established their trading bases in the following places

1609 Palaverkadu (pulickat lake) 60 kms north of Chennai
1647 In Sathurangapattinam
1660 in Nagapattinam
