Synchronized statements by Western powers on the events in Washington—all within hours of each other.

And shouldn't India be expressing concern about peaceful transition of power in the US. 😏 Or whoever is coordinating this doesn't want uppity Brown people to weigh in.
Great. Still it looks like a very coordinated effort. Biden transition team has been calling world leaders to speak?

Or it must just be the standard racism of @twitter "progressives." @narendramodi's statement is not part of their world leaders' story.
If Biden team is calling world leaders for public support it shows that they're really concerned about their govt being considered legitimate. How the wheel turns.

Violence at US #CapitolBuilding
International observers called for peace after violence racked the capital city. Recent elections drew charges of widespread rigging from the losing side. Results remain bitterly contested with the incumbent autocrat unwilling to relinquish power.
Human Rights groups repeated calls to ensure the safety of the civilian population and ask the regime to abjure use of violence on protestors.

Recent protests have exposed the ethnic and political divides in this fragile nation state, created by White squatters.
@ruchirsharma_1
It's a satire in line with how @nytimes or other Western media covers "third world" elections. I thought most people would catch on. 😏

Today we take the Decimal System for granted. But this Indian invention revolutionized the world. No modern math or science is possible without it. Imagine doing astrophysics with Roman Numerals! Western Science remained primitive till the Indian import.

That's not all ...1/
It took Europe over FOUR CENTURIES to understand and accept the decimal system. Now advanced calculations could be done "algorithmically", i.e. rather than by the abacus—an extension of counting fingers and toes. The resistance shows how alien and revolutionary that was. 2/
The "backwards Nordic people" of Europe learned this from the Moors and the Arabs (who also took centuries to understand it).

The Church was deathly opposed to these numbers, and forbade their use. The numbers were called ciphers (or code) as opposed to the plain Roman numbers.

Hindi/Sanskrit nomenclature for colors based on hue and saturation unlike arbitrary English naming. A name exists for every color in the color map.

From a 1955 dictionary. We lost 70 years chasing English. Imagine advancement if this had been implemented from 1947. Still time.
Dr. Raghuvira dictionary. Looking to create a project to bring it online. Are there updated GOI technical vocabularies?

Yes, we should be clear. India did not become स्वतंत्र in 1947. The तंत्र is all British. It was a mere transfer of power from White Sahibs to subservient Brown Sahibs.

The freedom struggle is now.

From the archives. In Japan 2016, staying with Japanese friends in their home. They made an all vegetarian meal for me!
They took me around for 2 days visiting all the sites. Baby is so cute 🥰
Japanese style toilet and bath. Bath is often communal, entire family bathes together.

Nori also took me to a public bath later.

Big move. The govt APEDA manual required halal, which means the meat industry in india had to be certified by (paid) Islamic clerics. It made no sense for a secular state to mandate a religious rule. There was a big push by original #HinduCharter for this. @zeneraalstuff
This is the most important part. Halal meat mandates that the animal must be slaughtered and the meat processed and labelled only by Muslims. Thus it creates an enormous religion-based employment discrimination in the industry, rendering many Hindu butchers out of business.
Imagines if Hindus mandated that their food processing must not involve Muslims (e.g. jhatka must be non-Muslims). There'd be a big hue and cry about "fascism" and "discrimination."

But this kind of religious discrimination is built into #Islamofascism. But no one calls it out.

Ok, test your Sanskrit knowledge.

What is the meaning of the following phrase? (If you know the reference, hold back).

भद्राम्बुधिसिद्धजन्मगणितश्रद्धा स्म यद् भूपगीः
सही।

लेकिन इसका संस्कृत में कुछ और भी अर्थ बनता है क्या?

हम संस्कृत में (या अन्य भारतीय भाषा) में एक स्वयं कविता लिख सकते हैं क्या जिसका भी मूल पाई निकले?

Now this will blow your mind. In the Sanskrit verse where Pi is calculate to 32 decimal places, the claim is the known universe could be calculated to 1 molecule level. If true, they clearly they did not get this value by measurement. How? @MeruPrastara
