Is "Tamilian = Dravidianist"???

The next time anyone makes this false conflation, remind them of these points:

1: All Dravidianists are Tamilians, but all Tamilians are NOT Dravidianists.

1/11

2: Dravidianist ideology stems from Christian evangelists such as Caldwell & GU Pope pushing "Aryan-Dravidian" divide, language-separation, victimhood, non-Vedic, non-Sanskrit past for "Dravidians" - ideas imbibed deeply by EVR whose legacy is hatred, violence & separatism.
2/11

3: Dravidianists believe in hatred of fellow Indians and harbor separatist ideas. Non-Dravidianist Tamilians are nationalists and proud of their language, culture, history and heritage, and do not see themselves separate of Indian civilization.

3/11

4: Dravidianists hate Tamil history, & work to purge Sanskrit+Vedic influences from ancient Tamil works, justifying this cultural vandalism as "returning ancient Tamil works to a pristine state". Dravidianists seek separation of Tamil people from the common culture of India
4/11

5: We celebrate non-Dravidianist Indic-Tamil culture, Tamil history, Tamil accomplishments, Tamil heritage with as much pride as that of other parts of the nation, recognizing rich variations of a common cultural heritage.

5/11

6: What the Dravidianist professor said to the Indic-Tamilian and her reply...

6/11

7: Further enlightenment of the Dravidianist by the Indic-Tamilian...

7/11

8: Love-fest of Dravidianist and Leftist professors...

8/11

9: Clarification of Tamil history and Dravidianist ideology....

9/11

10. How the global Left shenanigans are embraced by the Dravidianists....

10/11

11: Distorted worship of colonialists...

(not limited to Dravidianists)

Would it be asking too much of the state or national govt to declare Madhava's (1340-1425) house as a heritage site of greatest importance to Indian Knowledge Systems and build a museum to showcase contributions to Science & Tech? #calculus

newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/…

2/ Madhava's discoveries of infinite series, links to geometry, trig, algebra & functional approx laid foundations of calculus. 200 years later, aided by church transmissions, European mathematicians ramped up, with Newton proposing "fluxions" later becoming what we call calculus

3/
One can well imagine the Acharya teaching his shishyas outside this house. Thanks to lost works and untranslated material, we are yet to discover the full extent of their discoveries.

Pic shows Madhava's ingenious infinite series that converges in the limit exactly to pi.

@HRDministry

Glad to note. Given the aggressive schedule, suspect changes are in math+science curriculum, & NOT in history where bigotry, propaganda & distortion are fortified by special interests. Who are the scholars entrusted with history corrections? @HRDministry @DrRPNishank , @PMOIndia

@Aabhas24

2. If social studies texts are also not merely "framework"-revised, but the *content* also corrected, then I strongly recommend Prof. Meenakshi Jain to be on the panel.

Also @Aabhas24 & @TIinExile with strength in fact-checking are needed.

@HRDministry @DrRPNishank @PMOIndia

@Aabhas24

3. Social studies texts have destructive, toxic content, Std.6-12. Cannot expect old panel at NCERT to discard their ideological, spurious content.

Strongly need tenacious fact-checkers like @Aabhas24 and @TIinExile on the revision panel.

Pan-India Unity or Uneasy Mix of Different People?

Today, hostile forces revel in the manipulated, destructive amplification of neo-differences and map it to the ancient past, calling our history as one of invaders and conquered, with much to be ashamed about...
(1/12)

...with little novel knowledge content, & have manufactured spurious divisive identities that are being programmed into people from various platforms.

Evidence-based reading of Indian history shows pan-India unity of culture, heritage, beliefs, genetics, philosophies, (2/12)

...scripts, relation between languages, knowledge systems & much more, rarely expressed in public.

In my 6-part talk at Srijan in New Delhi in Dec 2019 & in Aug 2019, I examine the alleged fault-lines & highlight the pan-India unity that is lost in today's discourse.
