English is yesterday’s skill. China is putting huge emphasis on Chinese. All countries are promoting their languages,
Investing in them.

The world of tomorrow will constitute a skilled technical elite who studied in their own languages and communicate via machine-translation:
In this world Indians will become coolies for others with no language of their own. Even in the US I see social services forms with 20 different languages but no Indian language.

Major civilizations are neither moving to English, nor destroying their languages. Only India.
The correct understanding is that English is the biggest *barrier* to socio-economic empowerment of the masses. The #EnglishApartheid system prevents their rise since all major national institutes are in English.

@Abhina_Prakash

I've a lot of respect for Abhinav, he is no one's stooge. He is probably just not aware of how things are moving in tech.

Comprehension is more important than English. Mother tongue medium increases comprehension.

It's different from Ambedkar times.

45 years ago “science” said ghee was terrible and my father switched us to dalda, marketed as a substitute, from ghee.

Now science tells us ghee is good and hydrogenated oil is the worst.

Lesson: Don’t follow 2-year old “science” studies. Follow 1000-yr old tradition.
See my thread on this.
Traditions (not religions) are scientific knowledge tested and passed down over generations.

Scientific studies are time-limited and ephemeral; their results are easily overturned by the next study and are in many cases irreproducible.

Medical arrogance.

Many "modern" medicine are also extracts of herbs. But the pharma industry relies on dismissing the original because it can't be patented and yields much less profit.

And they'll attack scientific studies which don't fit their prejudice and pocketbook. Image
Here is an example of @theliverdr misleads and misreads even their own research in even simple things like whether drinking more water is helpful for health.

With his initial list of "debunking" why drinking water doesn't help, he cites the following article:



Let's dive into it.mcgill.ca/oss/article/he…Image
@theliverdr In the article, @drlabos says, there is "no real advantage to drinking more water", and one can routinely get water via food.

In this article he cites a single study to back his claims, saying "drinking more water did not offer any benefit for kidney function."

Let's read it. Image

This is path-breaking if validated.

The IVC is Sanskrit script with Puranic references!
I will post explanations and queries from the paper. It uses a unique cryptographic approach to decipher the IVC script. More technical people need to do history. @yajnadevam

It makes the case that the script maps to a language, and uses regex to map it to Sanskrit.
@yajnadevam First question:

"The seal Dmd-1 single jar sign matches ana and eliminates other alternatives like ja and la."

Why are ja and la being eliminated? Image

Over 50% of White Liberal Women have a Mental Health issue.

This thread is not to mock them, mental health issues are serious and real. But here are some insights into why "progressives" may disproportionately suffer from mental health issues. 🧵 Image
Evie has a somewhat conservative take on this: "Progressivism is an ideology that supposedly demands quality for all, and one that keeps score to an exhausting degree.... that isn't just unrealistic, it's unsustainable." Image
In a dharmic gaze, equality is not only unrealistic, it is unnatural. So an ideological obsession for equality is a constant fight against nature.

From an Indic point of view, anything that takes us away from the Real, will lead to mental issues.

U.S. has world’s highest rate of children living in single-parent households.

If this the society to emulate? Image
“Older adults in the U.S. are more likely than those around the world to age alone: More than a quarter of Americans ages 60 and older live alone (27%), compared with a global average of 16%.”

You want this for your life?

Research shows that children raised in single parent households show impaired cognitive development and also a higher incidence of mental health issues.

So we build a less able next generation… is this a desired societal outcome?

BJP has a great fear of doing something for "their own" in case they're accused of favoritism.

So they consistently bend over to woo those who hate them and do very little for those who vote for and support them.

It's virtue taken to an extreme where it becomes its opposite.
Congress otoh starts its agenda on Day 1. It is very clear about its constituencies and its supporters and always takes care of them first.

The BJP is keen to appease the "opposite camp" instead and scared to do anything that might upset them. It doesn't mind riding roughshod over its supporters. They can even be killed, as in WB, and it won't act. Because someone could perceive it as "favoritism." It's a mental liability.

There are no "irreversible changes." Congress will change things the day that come back to power. Meanwhile BJP lost 10 years and an entire generation fed on toxic textbooks. They could have reinstated MM Joshi's books in a day. Just cowardice.
