I have seen this same post from different countries all have same wordings (Chinese, English, Arabic etc). Looks like someone trying really hard to appropriate Indian knowledge and attacking from all sides.
🚨Breaking: Philippines finally waking up to their true self. Their history was buried and wiped off by the same colonizers. Now the historians are discovering their Hindu Buddhist heritage and once ruled by Hindu Kings.

Yes,BHARAT WAS & IS A VISHWAGURU🛕
I can dominate anyone in a debate if someone is denying it.
Madras High Court had ruled that teaching the Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta, and Yoga is not "religious activity" under the FCRA, calling them part of India's civilizational heritage and ethical, philosophical, and educational traditions.
Reconstruction of debate between Adi Shankra and Madan Mishra as I. have understood based on Madhaviya Sankara-Digvijaya
Sankara: Then I say this, and the whole of it follows. Brahman: being, awareness, and bliss without division, one without a second, is the sole reality. By ignorance alone it appears as this entire world of names and forms, as a shell glimpsed at dusk appears as silver. Where the silver was seen, only shell was ever present; and when ignorance is undone, where the world was seen, only Brahman is ever present, and that Brahman is nothing other than the Self, the very awareness by which I now speak and you now hear. The undoing of ignorance by knowledge of this Self is liberation. There is no other means. And the Upaniṣads, the crown of the Veda, are its authority.
Mandana: I say the contrary, and without apology, for I have spent my life in its service. The Veda is the one source of what cannot be known otherwise, and what cannot be known otherwise is dharma, what is to be done. Its living heart is its command. It enjoins action: sacrifice, oblation, the daily rites. Action is the ladder by which a being mounts toward the good. Liberation, if reached at all, is reached upon this ladder of works, not by sitting at its foot and calling the climb an illusion.
TBH, Goa was never my favourite destination. I might have been seeing it the wrong way all along.
But the next time I step into Gopakapattana, I will go not for the beaches/shacks, but for its Hindu temples. Because now I know I am not just visiting monuments… I am paying respects to a history of extraordinary courage & survival.
What’s this with the Chinese and their obsession with theft? Land theft, data theft, IP theft, fishing theft, bride theft, grave theft and now cultural theft too?
@Fintech03@sundarmail Sir, can you write about the appropriation of Indian culture by , china, pak, west and Indian adversaries recently, and why are they in such a condition? To me it looks like a coordinated effort by all of them.
Just came across a comment on @sundarmail Ji's post where some1 confidently claimed that pepper is Christian.😂
Saying pepper is Christian because Christian guilds managed its medieval trade is like saying oil is American because American corporations managed Middle Eastern oil fields in the 20th century.
When French scientists opened & examined the mummy of Pharaoh Ramses II in 1976 using advanced forensics, they found a bizarre preservation method. The ancient Egyptian embalmers had stuffed black pepper corns directly into his nostrils & abdomen to preserve the shape of his nose during mummification.
Ramses II died in 1213 BCE. That is more than 1200 yrs before Jesus Christ was born.
This pepper could only have come from 1 place on earth at that time: the wild vines of the Malabar Coast (Kerala). Indigenous Indian tribal & forest communities were cultivating, harvesting & trading pepper across the Indian Ocean via ancient Phoenician & Arab maritime networks when Europe was still in the Bronze Age.
Let us dig more...In his monumental work Naturalis Historia (77 CE), the Roman historian Pliny openly panicked about Rome's economy. He lamented that Rome was losing over 50M sesterces annually to India to buy luxury items, chiefly black pepper. He wrote: "It is quite astonishing that the use of pepper has come into such favor... it has nothing in it that can plead as a recommendation to either fruit/berry, its only desirable quality being a certain pungency... & yet it is computed by weight like gold or silver!"
When Alaric the Visigoth besieged Rome, he did not just demand gold & silver to lift the siege. He demanded 3000 pounds of Malabar black pepper. It was treated as a global hard currency.
Look at the ancient Tamil Sangam texts, which beautifully document the bustling ports of Kerala like Muziris. The text Akananuru (Poem 149) explicitly describes the trade dynamics:
"The beautifully built ships of the Yavanas (Greeks/Romans) came with gold & returned laden with pepper, making Muziris prosperous."
The people cultivating this pepper were the indigenous farmers, hill tribes & agrarian communities of ancient Chera Nadu (Kerala), operating under native Hindu lineages.
Because Syrian Christians, Jews & later Mappila Muslims had linguistic connections with overseas maritime networks, the Hindu kings granted these specific merchant guilds (Manigramam & Anjuvannam) the rights to collect institutional taxes, manage inland trade outposts & supervise river transport of spices. This is probably the only Christian connection pepper has :))
