QUAD was the forethought of Modi and Abe which turned Asia-Pacific into Indo Pacific and made India the centre of powerful global actors. Once passiveIndia playing active global power game. Asokan India becoming the Arjuna India newsonair.com/News?title=Fou…
Arjuna &!Asoka had the same syndrome of despair. Asoka after Kalinga war & Asoka before Kurukshetra war. Krishna removed Arjunn’s confusion. None to remove Asoka’s. Result India became pacifist. Only a victorious Asoka could give up the war. A defeated Asoka couldn’t have.
Not understanding that a defeated Ashoka couldn’t have given up the war, and also he didn’t disband the army, independent India’s PM shocked the British commander telling him we don’t need an army, just police is sufficient. Within 2 months we needed an army
China taught Pacifist India need for an an efficient army. Till 1998 Pokharan India didn’t understand global power politics. That was the turning point. India would never go for war. But it’s strategic policy has to be Ayodhya. That is no one should think of a war against it

Here is a call to save the Devine Carnatic music being systematically destroyed by trivializing it into a pop Music by promoting such icons. Sangeetha Gnanamu (SM) movement has taken up the sacred mission. Pl contact +91 94511 99663 or sangeethagnanamu@gmail.com and join SM.
Sangeetha Gnanamu is a force-multiplied group of devotees of Carnatic Music who (hurt by those who mock the divinity in Carnatic Music being honoured and dishonour the icons of high honour like MS Subbulakshmi) want to work to restore divinity and devotion back in Carnatic Music
SM is a positive movement to spread awareness among Music lovers about the sacredness of Carnatic music which is being trivialised as just an art and commercialized to rob it's divinity

Quote – Unlike other countries, India can claim that philosophy in ancient India was not an auxiliary to any other science or art, but always held a prominent position of independence”
"In all the fleeting centuries of history in all the vicissitudes through which India has passed, a certain marked identity is visible.
It has held fast to certain psychological traits which constitute its special heritage, and they will be the characteristic marks of the Indian people so long as they are privileged to have a separate existence" – Unquote

Now Gandhi. His basic text is ‘Hind Swaraj’. He it wrote in 1909. As late as in 1938 [July 13, 1938] Gandhi said that “after thirty stormy years though which I have since passed, I have seen nothing to make me alter the views expounded in Hind Swaraj
Gandhi said: “We were one nation before the British came. One thought inspired us. Our mode of life was the same. It is because we were one nation they could establish one kingdom. Subsequently they divided us” and explained how we were one nation
He said: “What do you think could have been the intention of those farseeing ancestors of who established Setubandha [Rameshwar] in the South, Jagganath in the East and Hardwar in the North as places of pilgrimage? You will admit they were no fools”.

This long thread challenges the detractors of RSS who have been abusing it for decades as chauvinist & anti-Muslim. By confronting them with the unchallengeable truth about the RSS philosophy which they either don't know or they conceal
The context is self-evident. The RSS just entered its Centenary year on Vijay Dasami Day last week. As an RSS insider and as one in public life for 5 decades without accepting any position I owe a duty to tell the public about what the RSS is.
My deep involvement with a mix of strange and diverse domains – religion and spirituality to law, journalism, economics, politics, anthropology academics and geopolitics for half a century enables me to look at RSS from outside as from within

In an arguably most statesmanly Vijya Dasami address founded on high moral ethical and nationalist grounds the RSS Chief Mohan surveyed the entire global and national scenarios, issues challenges and responses which the Prime Minister Modi tweeted as a must listen one.
Important takeaways from it are: Dharma not religion is the foundation of Bharat; Hindu Dharma is universal;our diversity is used to create divisions amongst us to dominate without physical presence; deep state, wokeism cultural Marxism are a great danger. Here are some extracts
“Dharma is the Sva (self) of India,not religion. There are many religions, but the religion and spirituality behind these religions is what Dharma represents. Dharma is the life of India; our inspiration. In our history, for that, people have sacrificed themselves,

My last meeting with Iravatham Mahadevan. He used to call me his colleague in pursuit of truth. We always disagree on his view Indus valley as pre Vedic. In 1978 When we were looking at an Indus seals he said "Guru this matches with Somapana Yagna in Rig Veda" Image
He submitted his finding as a paper in an epigraphist meet in Tokyo in 1983. He began to view the Indus civilization as convergent with Vedic civilization at some stage. He tracer Bharat name is in Indus seals. We discussed this in his unpublished papers in his last days
Our association led to his joining Indian Express as Executive Director and then as Editor Dinamani. Thereafter he began working whole time on Tamil epigraphy. His Magnum Opus was published by Harvard University in 2003. His theory was there was no pre Sanskrit Tamil script
