I overheard my mom during her online class to state medium middle schoolers-

ഏകബീജ പത്രസസ്യങ്ങലെ ദ്വീബീജ പത്രസസ്യങ്ങലിൽ നിന്നുo വെർത്തിരികുക്ക.

"Differentiate dicotyledons and monocotyledons"

I am astonished by the Sanskrit scientific vocabulary, my heritage, I was denied.
"ജാലികാസിരവിന്യാസം, സമാന്തരസിരവിന്യാസം എന്നിവ തരം തിരിക്കുക"

I can't even understand what botanical concept that stands for! I never thought I'd be reading a middle school textbook this eagerly.
These students are doing more for preserving our heritage than most of us can ever do in a lifetime. The least we can do is strive to create a society where they are not discriminated or disadvantaged in any way.
The Sanskrit scientific terminology in all Indian languages will be near identical. This is the reason why language was never a barrier to science and Math in India for thousands of years. It is modern India that has created such barriers.
The only traditional barrier I see is script! Most of you cant read malayalam and I am slow in reading Devanagiri. This is a problem.

Did Immanuel Kant(1724-1804) study/steal Indic philosophy?

-Distinct similarities with Chandrakirti(600 CE)
-His "categorical imperative" is niṣkāmakarma
-Vedic 'maya' & Kant's 'thing in itself'
-According to Hermann Jacobi(b 1850), Kant's 'Aesthetics' relies on Hindu treatises
-Kant talked of Indian culture in his lecture at königsberg university
-Helmuth Von Glasenapp's book 'Kant and religions of the east' has Indic religious passages from Kant's writings that no one knew of.
-His student Johann Fichte(1762-1814)published a book influenced by Advaita
What is the use of a philosopher who talks of high ethics if he practices none of it?

"Portuguese, Dutch and English have been, year after year, shipping home treasures of India in their big vessels. We Germans have been left to watch it. Schlegel, Bopp, Humboldt etc are our East Indian sailors. Bonn and Munich(Universities) will be good factories"
-Georg Brandes
The west is drunk with a false notion that their 17th century philosophical explosion is an independent achievement. A neurotic & successful self-deception. But the truth is, from Kant to Nietzsche, Vedic-Buddhist philosophy and logic was ripped to shreds to make it happen.
Which is fine. Its wisdom after all. Take & share. Just as the Rishis and Bodhisattvas intended. But to drain the mind of a civilization for centuries, even as you colonize it into ruin, deny the intellectual debts while corrupting every page of its history with racist garbage...

History of the Solar Year

Celestial wheel turns in 360 days
Dirgatamas~2600BCE

True year is between 365 & 366
Yajur,2400BCE

366 for civil use!
Lagadha,1370 BCE

Correction month in 2.5 yrs!
Kautilya,300BC

365.2588
Surya Sid-200CE

365.2585
Aryabhata

Modern sidereal-365.25636
1560-Christopher Clavius sends several Jesuits to Kerala to learn Jyotisha, accurate trignometric tables etc

1582-Gregorian calendar adopted with Indian Ahargana system('Julian numbers'); 11 October days dropped

1752-British empire adopts Gregorian

1956-India adopts Gregorian
Aryabhata's value is off by just 3mins 20sec. The true solar year is the sidereal, not the Tropical one which the Gregorian continues to use, along with many unscientific & arbitrary absurdities such as '28' Feb days.

'Jan 1' has no significance whatsoever. Well, Happy new year!

Here are reasons for inadmissibility of 'Subtrate' arguments-
1. Many(including Lubotsky) themselves admit that they are arbitrarily using the word 'Substrate' as against 'adstrate'. This invalidates any attempt to use it as evidence of AIT.
From Talageri- Image
2. The vast majority of words tortured up- and all of so called BMAC words- are either late or post Rig Vedic

3. If these adstrates are proof of AIT, then the HUGE Semitic, old European and Uralic loans in western branches which are ABSENT in Indo-Iranian & Tocharian proves OIT Image
4. It is known that Austroasiatic/Munda immigrated into India after~4000BP. Irrelevant to OIT. Witzel's 'Para Munda' falls flat.

5. Isidone Dyen has demonstrated co-development between PIE and Proto-Austronesian. This is possible ONLY in OIT scenario.

The Govt should commission a new Purana in Sanskrit. It should cover the entire recorded history of the civilization state of Bharatam in the native perspective. From the spread of Indo-European tribes from Sapta Sindhu(3500-2000 BCE) to the 1st war of Independence in 1857 CE.
It should then be translated to every vernacular. The Puranas are the world's oldest historical tradition originally created by 100s of Vedic era court bards/Pauranikas. There is no need for us to blindly follow the colonial methods of histography whose pollution must be removed.
Purana writing continued even till modern times. True, lots of ahistorical stories, mythology, exaggerations & chronological errors have crept into the major puranas over the last 3500 years. These shortcomings must be corrected while we extract history from original Vedic texts.
