Oh come on! The Indian government should care for the interests of India and not the interests of BJP. It is absolutely correct that the PM made positive overtures to Biden and Harris. Whether they reciprocate or not is their problem. India must work to build strong ties with US.
Kamala Harris is far to the right of the Democrats as far as Israel is concerned. So why is she Anti-India? Why are we Indians getting the dumpster thrown at by the Democrats? Because we have been idiots, that’s why. Not engaging with the new administration will be more idiocy.
One thing is clear: the Democrat party has a serious Anti-India rhetoric and specifically a Anti-Hindu rhetoric. This is a consequence of the liberal media in the USA, which has a horrible Hinduphobia. Why would they change when they have no consequences internally?
It is absolutely the wrong strategy to connect India-US ties to a specific party. India must get a strong bipartisan support. Pro-India voices (and Pro-Hindu voices) must be cultivated in both the parties, similar to how Pro-Israel voices have a bipartisan presence in USA.
Let’s see if the Republicans are any better in favoring ties with India than the Democrats. No, they are not. In fact, they are worse.

India must get a clear understanding of who its enemies are, and try all its best to promote its friends within both the parties in USA.
See this profile of Kamala Harris as a friend of Israel. Why should she be an enemy of India? Because we have been idiots, that's why. 🤦‍♂️

What a ridiculous sham for the first education minister of India! A Mullah Moulana religious scholar, who was apparently so hypocritical that he was an alcoholic addict. Instilled by Mr. “Scientific Temper” Nehru on India. Mr.Azad never had even a university degree!
It is absolutely horrendous that such a religious nut case idiot was chosen by Nehru to lead the education ministry, in a country that already had Nobel laureates! Sheesh 🙄! And why give him Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award!? India became a joke for the Nehru clan.
Maulana’s birthday, the 11th of November, is apparently “National Education Day” in India. Since when did this happen!? Can anybody please tell me? I don’t remember any such Tamasha when I was studying in India.

What a joke! How about celebrating it as the National Loser Day!?

The Hinduphobia in US media and academia is not limited to the post BJP era, or even to the period of rich Indian immigrants in the tech sector. It is an ancient American tradition rooted in racism and missionary propaganda, going back to the time when India was a British colony.
These narratives in American universities have been running without any counter for several decades now. Until now, Indian Americans have been blissfully ignorant of the nonsense, trying to focus on making money or whatever. But the nonsense will bear fruit and come to bite them.
This misrepresentation of Hinduism and India has nothing to do with the supposed wealth of Indian Americans. After all, India is still a poor country and most Hindus are dirt poor compared to the other religions. No, the narrative is simply a continuation of age old racist crap.

Dumbass English language. Indian languages would have distinguished nouns from adjectives. The sad thing is we are borrowing the names of nationalities from English into Indian languages, instead of even using their own names. Like “French” फ्रेन्च instead of “Français” फ्रानसे.
The correct method is to take the morphological root for a country and construct the words in our own languages. E.g: “Frānsēya” फ्रान्सेय ఫ్రాన్సేయ for French people and “Frānsa” फ़्रान्स ఫ్రాన్స as an adjective for French products. Similar to “Ānglēya” and “Āngla” for England.
Such grammatical niceties are non-existent in the barbaric language with the barbaric spelling (forget about the grammar altogether) that is lording over our country now. 😒

Let me guess. It will be exclusively in English, like all your other programs right?
Because obviously, there is a desperate need in India for hospital management staff, and managers in small and medium scale companies (MSME, in a less pretentious lingo) who all speak English and would not understand the same damn thing in local languages?
#Colonialism 2.0?
Now you wonder why parents want to send their kids to English medium schools? Because the kids would not be able to get a job in hospital management or even a small/medium scale company if they are unable to brainwash their entire brain into English. That is future by design.

In the second part of the essay, I describe how a Dharmic ethical framework provides Dharmic alternatives for the notions of causality, legal regulation and individual rights, that are being proposed for driving the behavior of AI in a responsible manner.

pragyata.com/arya-prajna-ar…
Not many people understand how deeply Christian are the ethical notions of causality, legal regulation, or individual rights. In our current secular world, the Christian roots of these ideas are obscured.

A Dharmic ethical framework for AI need not align by these ideas.
In this part of the essay, I can see that my effort to write the original in Telugu paid off. What I suggested as an alternative to legal regulation: Āryabhāshāsaṃvṛddhi ఆర్యభాషాసంవృద్ధి is very hard to translate into English, and wouldn’t have appeared if thinking in English.

The Iranian word “Kuruš”, which is written as Cyrus and pronounced incorrectly as “sairas”, is related to the Sanskrit “Kuru” - the very family which is immortalized in the Mahābhārata epic.
My opinion is that the word “kuruš” is also at the root of the word “Kurd” - the tribe speaking an Iranic language and living also in Turkey and Iraq. The word “kuruš” is most likely related in meaning to Sanskrit “karša” कर्ष meaning “farming”. These were farming civilizations.
Calling themselves “farming people” is a very common endonym of various nations. Another example is “Poland” (literally, the country of “field people”). This is a simple way to contrast themselves, especially if they are surrounded by nomadic tribes relying on hunting-gathering.
