Factually incorrect. He wrote a series of essays in Vol 1 of the 2-volume "Hindu temples: What happened to them" under the editorship of his mentor, Rishi Sita Ram Goel.

Now you see why the people of India don't trust journalists?
Because I'm in the mood to educate you, here goes: One of the superb essays Shourie wrote in Vol 1 is: "Fabrications on the way to the Funeral," first published as an article in The Indian Express, June 26, 1998 where he predicted the impending funeral of secular discourse.
And given your tweet, it's clear that you didn't even bother to *Google* it -- would've taken all of 5 seconds to find the truth widely available in public domain. See why people distrust journalists?

Throughout @realDonaldTrump's 2016 campaign, the max crowd he attracted was less than 10000 people. Just ONE event by a foreigner, Sri @narendramodi in #Houston brought 50000 Indians in one stadium.

Think about it.
These 50000 folks didn't drop out of the sky. Why did they come there? Sure, for @narendramodi. But what brought them there is that subconscious Sanatana gene which identifies with him. THIS is why we are the ONLY civilization.
It's not an accident that @realDonaldTrump got perhaps the ONLY standing ovation in his life when he merely verbalized "Islamic terrorism" from a long suffering people who contributed so much to the US, parched to hear the words.

Does our educational system give children the unfettered flight of imagination that allows them to summon Balagopala at will?
That "education" used to be given by grandmothers. A handful of such grandmothers are still around I guess and hope.
Amid the mad rush towards stuff like AI, Data analytics, technology, etc a basic question arises: what exactly is sought to be achieved by it? unscrutinized endeavours can and will result in disastrous consequences.

Thread: Q's Army

Do you think #QsArmy is just a bunch of people sitting at the computer doing nothing?

Do you think #Anons are stealing valor?

Do you think #DigitalSoldiers are wasting their time, not doing anything to help?

My article on #Maidan massacre in #Ukraine, its cover-up and stonewalled investigation, and its misrepresentation by @nytimes and US architectural company 3D model. #UkraineElection #UkraineElections2019 consortiumnews.com/2019/04/22/the…
Maidan massacre was a watershed event, not only for politics and history of #Ukraine but also for world #Politics generally. This mass killing in downtown Kyiv set the stage for violent overthrow of the pro-#Russian government in Ukraine and a new Cold War between US and #Russia.
Therefore, it is remarkable that five years after this massacre shook the world, no one has been sentenced for any of the Maidan killings. This was the best documented case of mass killing in history, broadcast live on TV & the internet, in presence of thousands of eyewitnesses.

In the proper cynicism of anyone white and/or male (which, historically, is absolutely earned), I'm leery of trusting too much in white dudes with power. I've done a poor job in the past in choosing which guys to think highly of - I'm trying to be better.

So, Mr. Rogers.
I grew up in the era of Mr. Rogers, but I don't think I spent much time in his neighborhood. I grew up on Sesame Street, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day while surrounded by puppets. I didn't think of Mr. Rogers at all until I worked at a christian bookstore.
While I was there, I read every book we had on the shelf. Well, at one point, at least. That's when I was told, repeatedly, that Mr. Rogers and his ethos had destroyed America. Never mind the fact that he was a minister - he was the wrong kind, and taught the anti-christ spirit.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

1...#QCHistoryEngages On why I chose an MA in Library Science and History - My love of History was not sparked from a single visit to a museum, but rather continuous interactions with educational institutions.
2...My first memory of such a place was a visit to the @FloridaMuseum in Gainesville. The two exhibits I recall from the trip were displays on #bats and #dinosaurs, two things many 8 year olds enjoy. Still have the bat book from the trip.
3...My parents would always encourage visits to the #library as I had an interest for reading from a young age (not sure how they inspired that from the beginning - gladtheydid). This turned into an opportunity for me to discover new topics such as astronomy and other sciences.

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.
