The atrocious images of Hindus in bangladesh is a gentle reminder of how Nixon Administration supported Bengali Hindu genocide in 1971. The same way Biden Administration is supporting unspeakable atrocities on Hindus all done by a Clinton favorite, Muhammad Yunus.

If anyone ever comes across this, please tell, what wrong I did?

https://preview.redd.it/kou68zjdr63e1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=8718841fb24a33fb59c619d9bb79ac12fc82f583

I made a post, and my post was reported and removed just because I offended Hindus who don't know Sanskrit and think that it is okay.

This is my post and please tell what is offensive in it:

Sanskrit is the language our entire scriptural library is based on. Sanskrit is the mother of whatever language you are speaking right now. From Sanskrit comes Sanskriti, from language, builds our culture. Then what are you afraid of? Your own mother who has given you a speech?

You don't need to remember all those Shabd Roop and Dhaatu Roop. You don't need to be an expert to start learning Sanskrit. Just start with the knowledge of Sandhi-Samas and jump into Shlokas and Mantras. Break the structure of those words and try to understand their meanings. Within no time you would be proficient in Sanskrit.

Sanskrit is a very mathematical language. Each syllable has a meaning and different combinations of those syllables create more meanings, and different sentences made from those combinations even make more and more meanings. It is not some rocket science that you cannot understand. Wisdom-lib is there to help you, we are here to help you, and various subs are there to help people with such things. All you need is patience and perseverance.

Before class 8, even I couldn't understand Sanskrit. The first time I realised its wonder was when I tried to break down and understand Guru Stotram. For the last 3 years, I have been into this practice so much, that most of the time I don't need a translator tool to understand the structure and etymology of the language.

But all it needed was the first step. If you are already grown up and saying that you need translations and commentaries for Itihaasas and Puranas (Vedas are a bit difficult and I understand), then sorry but it is extremely shameful. At this point, you should look for original Sanskrit shlokas and start comparative reading, instead of just simply reading the translations and commentaries.

Because in that way, you are not feeding your brain with Hindu texts, but the interpretation of Hindu texts by the authors. You are denying your mind its freedom to perceive in its own way, you are denying yourself free and original ideas of your own, you are denying yourself the original Hinduism.

For eg., the term Dharma has so many meanings and so many contexts. According to its structural analysis, it means "What sustains or supports", but modern people easily translate it to "religion".

Devas aren't demigods, all Asuras aren't demons. Demigods means "half-Gods". Demon comes from Greek Daimon which means "lesser deities or guiding spirits" but in Latin it became the "evil spirits".

Do you realise what error are you putting in your mind?

India’s inequality problem… or solution?

India is the world's fastest growing major economy.

Global investors are lining up to invest in the next big economic miracle as billions pour into the country.

But not all one billion Indians themselves feel like they're a part of this story.

What is happening in India today has happened before. The video explores the numbers as well as vibes behind India's tale of inequality and how lessons from India's past and even across the world teach us about its future trajectory.

Sanskrit needs to be the national language of India

I strongly propose that we should try and move the Govt. of India to make Sanskrit to be the national language of India. This would entail :-

  • Making it compulsory to learn Sanskrit along side a vernacular language from an early age in schools.
  • Making Sanskrit to be the official language for India and use it for official purposes.

What will this achieve?

  • Decolonization and end of Anglocracy : We will be using our civilization-al language instead of carrying on a colonial legacy that is the English.The bureaucracy that we are stuck with is nothing but a continuation of the same colonial legacy. A mark of humiliation. Yet, the bureaucrats, better referenced as "Brown Sahibs", take immense pride in being able to speak English, the language of their masters. Even the common man still believes being able to speak English to be mark of superiority and using vernacular languages as inferior. However,if we adopt Sanskrit as the official language, we can uproot the inferiority complex along side weeding out bureaucrats who just want to be seen as elite instead of connecting with the roots of India.
  • Increase in awareness about the sea of knowledge our ancestors left us : Today the common man relies on translators, and/or interpreters to explain the shastras of our own civilization to him. This system gives room for malicious actors to deliberately mutilate our shastras to suit their own agendas(Eg - Max Muller). However, when the common man can read the shastras on his own instead of relying on other "experts", it will create an increase in the willingness to try and explore the vast ocean of Indian knowledge even more, in turn increasing in civilization-al pride and help us reclaim our past glory.
  • Unifying factor : We are a dharmic civilization with hundreds, if not thousands, of subcultures under its fold. We also speak hundreds of languages. This makes communication between people of different languages sometimes difficult. We have seen recent examples where people from different states using languages different than that of the state they were residing in has sparked huge controversies. Often, we see people settle such differences by choosing English as the lingua franca of India, which is ironic considering English is a colonial shame that still have to bear with. Hence, I propose Sanskrit to be the lingua franca of India, as it not only is our civilization-al language but also a huge unifying factor, as Sanskrit is the mother of most Indian languages.
  • Birthright : We belong to the most ancient and most knowledge civilization on the face of the planet to ever exist. It is nothing but a travesty that we have not adopted Sanskrit as our national language, as it is the language most connected to our culture than anything else and have instead chosen to bear the colonial burden of English. We must correct this grave mistake at the earliest before our culture can erode beyond repair.

I realize that there might be some problems might arise while implementing this plan. I will try to answer them in following:-

  • The most imminent problem might be that replacing English with Sanskrit may have to cause a complete overhaul of present curriculum.
    • I have to say it is a bandage we have to pull at one point of the time of the other. If we allow English to be the main language of education in India then we will never be able to overcome our colonial humiliation and inferiority complex.
    • If thing prove too chaotic, we may have to resort to a phased plan for change instead of at one go. A phased plan is still better than nothing at all.
  • The bureaucracy will be brought to standstill until fresh batch of bureaucrats learned and trained in Sanskrit come
    • We can use Hindi, which is already a official language, to carry out official procedure until the new batch of Sansrit-learned bureaucrats take over
    • Like the previous problem, we can always use a phased plan of change if things become unmanagable.
  • B-but English gives us jobs in big companies, MNCs etc.
    • I am not asking to ban English outright. Just not to shove it down everybody's throats compulsorily. Those who need English to get a job can always learn English out of their own interests.
    • Countries like China, Japan don't make it mandatory to learn English, yet manage to have jobs in their own countries as well as worldwide. Why can Indians not follow their leads? Why must we always bend over in front of our Western "masters"? I think its about time we stop putting ourselves through trouble to please them.
  • There will be huge controversy over this
    • Let me ask you, when is there no "huge controversy" in India? Abrogating of Article 370 was controversial, building Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was controversial,even the marriage of a well known person doesn't go down without a huge controversy. This is our civilization-al battles,they won't be won without pushback from the 0.5 front that resides among us.

I would like to know your thoughts about this issue, and possible plans or problems that I may have overlooked in this post. I just want start a discourse on this issue that is missing all the time in our general discourse.
