1. Knowledge is Empowering & necessary first step in reclaiming lost space, given deeply inimical narratives on history of Bharatiya civilization.

In these courses I'll deconstruct historiography, show evidence-based narrative.

Enroll & help strengthen these institutions. 🙏
2. True Impact of Ignorance
Our history is deliberately corrupted, Bharatiya identity is criminally distorted, knowledge systems usurped, unacknowledged & demoted, & legions of deracinated, mind-compromised #BreakingIndia forces operate with impunity & hatred in India & abroad.
3. Can we still afford to remain in our blinkered worlds, mired in ignorance, satisfied with our good lives? The first steps to fight back and reclaim space is to acquire knowledge - irrefutable, evidence-based, for all - adults and especially youth.
4. A few institutions are now offering courses on authentic Indian history and knowledge systems. The main problem being faced is the lack of interest from diaspora to attend, patronize, nurture and strengthen the institutions offering these courses.
5. Knowledge is power goes the cliché, but is truly empowering, enlightening & is this civilization's goal since ancient times, but has unfortunately become an existential issue for the Bharatiya civilization.

After a 3-month break, I will again offer courses on Indian history.
6. Reconstructing Hindu History: The Commissions
@StudyAtHUA , Starting Jan 16th, 2022: 10 classes on Sundays, of about 2 hr duration each.
7. We examine historiography, present-day assertions on Indian deep history, examine in light of evidence from various domains, show their problems, & present evidence for the deep history of Bharat. This is part 1 of a 2-part course.

Enroll at: hua.edu
8. New course:

Knowledge Creation: A Historical Perspective.
mitvedicsciences.edu.in, starting Jan 24th, 2022: 10 classes of about 90 minutes each.
9. Blindingly parochial Western narratives position all of science and technology as originating in ancient Greece and resurfacing in post-"Renaissance" Europe. The monopoly on science and technology enforced by colonial Europe between 1600s-1900s by subjugating & destroying non-
10. -Western civilizations continues to feed this false narrative.

In this course, we make a deep study of knowledge systems around the world and how today's technological world owes much to the discoveries of the past.
11. Please discuss in your circles & enjoin on people to enroll, so that these courses can become viable, and strengthen these institutions.

A couple of questions to answer for those on the fence: "If not you, then who? If not now, then when?"

Pl share in your SM feeds.

Sir, this security lapse is totally unacceptable.

(1) Shouldn't the security team know the real-time traffic conditions either via apps or overhead security helicopters and take evasive measures? Why did the security travel on an un-sanitized route?
(2) In the stranded photos we observe PM's black car standing out in the midst of white accompanying cars. Shouldn't the PM be traveling in unmarked indistinguishable vehicles instead? This is a security lapse.
(3) In the stranded photos we see a sparse security team form a ring around the PM's vehicle. Shouldn't the PM travel with a much larger armed security complement, with electronics to jam cell-phones (to prevent remote-trigger devices), crowd-control ammunition, etc?

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.

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.

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
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
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.
