It's funny how many self-professed "Hindutva" is actually wannabe-Angrez. With little understanding of culture, civilization or even economics of the world.

They say "vishwa guru" but their highest dream is for the country to be "vishwa coolie." 😆

Like this. They still think "English medium"="progressive." 😆

If you are counting on call centers for your employment, don't worry, the Chinese programmers, who study in Chinese-medium, are writing chatbots to replace you soon enough.

Your "English" won't save you.

Meanwhile, this is what the Chinese, studying in Chinese-medium, are doing.

Zooming head of the US even in Computer Science and AI.

Indians are being taught to be "rapidly speaking English" to get vanishing call center jobs. Highest aspiration.

“Your kids” may grow up speaking English at home, have an environment to learn.

Most of these children won’t. They will sit uncomprehending in class, not understand math or language, won’t be in any position to compete with China.

How to destroy talent and civilization #101.
This is what will happen with this children @harshmadhusudan.

It is a formula to destroy the country and civilization. No major country has succeeded by converting the entire population to a foreign language. India won’t either.
The little bits of English they pick up won’t let them think or speak fluently. Those who win Nobel Prizes learn in primary in their mother tongue.

Of course, if Indians” highest aim is to be (bad) coolies, this may work. Till chatbots written by Chinese programmers replace them

A big underlying assumption coming from Abrahamic-origin thinking is the myth of linear progress. Ancient inventions are scoffed at is because they violate the idea of linear progress.

But is progress really linear? Do new generation always build on the knowledge of old? 1/
If you look at nature, everything is cyclical. Life is cyclical, seasons, growth of plants, water cycle, planetary orbits. There is no linearity. We talk of economic cycles. Is knowledge linear or cyclical. What is its periodicity?

Pyramids were built perhaps 5000 years ago.
Now, whenever the pyramids were built, it is clear that later generations did not know how they were built. The Egyptians of 1000 years ago could not build the pyramids nor did they know how they were built. Scientists still don't know fully.

Clearly knowledge was *lost*. 3/

Remember the Modi Govt has put disproportionate emphasis on religion-based schemes and scholarships to enable more such fundamentalists.
See:

Some people get upset when I criticize religious discrimination by the BJP Govt.

If appeasement and “pseudo-secularism” is bad when done by the Congress it doesn’t suddenly get good when the BJP does it. Both must be called out.

Remembered visiting this incredible Shiv Temple in Bhojpur.

If we were not still rules by a colonial state all these places vandalized by invaders would be restored to Hindus.

Invaders destroyed and the colonial state denies. Image
Hindus are not allowed to perform their rituals here. They persist sometimes but offerings are barred and removed.

Colonial State tramples on basic indigenous rights. Image
No, the Shiv Linga is intact. Image

Hardly want to send any views to the propaganda site Wire, but this article is hilarious in its contortions at Islamic hagiography (is this a full time occupation of “South Asian Studies” now?)

First they argue that Mughal Temple destruction was due to “secular” reasons… 1/
Then @CMarrewa spins away all that to claim how tolerant Mughals were in giving grants to the Nath Yogis.

When it is evident even in her examples that this is not due to any “religious ecumenism” but wanting favors like cures (Mercury concoctions.)

2/
Naths were powerful, both as ascetics and as a militant force. Mughals were currying favor with them with grants while they destroyed other Hindu temples when they could.

This doesn’t make the Mughals “great”, they were simply trying to ingratiate themselves.

Who said White imperialism is over?

It is especially bred in that CIA-originated “South Asian Studies” departments. They have also mastered the use of sepoys.
These are largely toxic front organizations with no community support. Attacking “Hindutva” by these toxic front orgs is a fig-leaf for the eradication of Hindus which is part of the agenda of religious and cultural imperialism that the likes of @CMarrewa support.
Read "The Compromised Campus." A lot of the "area studies" departments were setup with State Department assistance as a way to "study" the other for imperial utility.
