@mathemerizing19 Most of feminism is useless bullshit. Useful feminism is something that is already mentioned in religious books.

It is more about appearance than substance.

On the auspicious occasion of Durga Ashtami, we bow to Maa Durga in her formidable form as Mahishasura Mardini - whose divine power embodies the victory of good over evil.

This finely carved ivory sculpture at Hazarduari Palace portrays the ten-armed goddess seated on her vahana, the lion, wielding the celestial weapons granted by the gods. Beside her are her children, Ganesha, Kartikeya, Lakshmi, and Saraswati, symbols of prosperity, wisdom, and divine protection.

The intricate arch and floral patterns reflect the refined ivory craftsmanship of Murshidabad, a renowned center of art under the Nawabs of Bengal. Together, they capture Bengal’s rich artistic blend of devotional themes and courtly elegance from the late Mughal-Nawab era.

Caste system was not created by Brahmìns. First learn the difference between Vedicx-brahminist & Hìnduism before speaking.

Hinduìsm is not even a real thing. The real faith is called Vedicx or Brahmìnism.

This is the story of a french astronomer, stranded after missing the Venus transit, watches a Tamil Brahmin compute the December 1768 lunar eclipse in < 45 mins with cowries and palm-leaf booklets, matching the Paris ephemerides.

In 1768, a man named Nana Moutou walked into a French astronomer's house in Pondicherry and offered to compute an eclipse in front of him.

The astronomer was Guillaume Le Gentil of the Royal Academy of Sciences, Paris. He had come to India for the 1761 transit of Venus and was stuck at sea on the day.

He waited 8 years for the next one. On 3 June 1769, a single cloud covered the Sun at the exact moment. Nearly 10,000 leagues, he wrote, just to be "spectator of a fatal cloud".

Hidden inside the same book is a story nobody tells...

Le Gentil had been in Pondicherry barely 8 days when Nana Moutou came with an interpreter. Le Gentil asked for the total lunar eclipse of December 1768.

Next morning the man returned with a packet of palm leaves and a bag of cowrie shells. He sat on the floor, moved the shells with a singular speed, kept consulting his little booklet, and gave all the phases of the eclipse in less than three quarters of an hour.

Le Gentil checked the numbers against the French Ephemerides. They matched. He gave him more eclipses. Same result.

No pen. No paper. The shells were the counters, laid out on the ground.

The rules were verses recited from memory while working, the way Europeans use formulas. Once a step was done it was wiped away. And they rarely made mistakes, he writes.

Nana Moutou agreed to teach him, under strict secrecy. 4 months of hard work, he said, if the Frenchman had the aptitude.

Lessons at 4.30 every evening. Le Gentil changed interpreters 3x and got nowhere. In the end it took him more than a month, an hour a day, to compute a lunar eclipse.

His verdict: for lunar eclipses, the error in several he calculated never went > 25 minutes.

Now everyone realises what a Phattu this @dhruv_rathee is.

When I was arrested by WB Govt. , few right wing groups in USA and EU had offered me religious asylum from the STSJ gang.

Many well wishers also advised me to move away from West Bengal fearing re-arrest by @MamataOfficial .

I declined both because that would have made Hindus in general look weak.

Ek baar police ne kya poochtach Kiya, German Dog London bhag gaya...😆

Khalistaniyon, Bangladeshiyon aur pakistaniyon ke sath milke ab naare lagwaa raha hai India ke Khilaaf Baapu ke statue ke saamne..😆

Delhi mein bhi Baapu ka statue hai Dhruv... London Jaane Ki kya zarrorat hai..?

Par tumko samajh mein aagaya, yahan se nahi bagha toh Bappu ka danda pichwaade mein guzayenge yeh naya India.

Such a pathetic loser. Your Youtube revenue will start falling now. No one follows a weak leader.

@Sharmishta__19 @dhruv_rathee You are a brave and a large-hearted girl, Sharmishta.

You were a huge catalyst in defeat of Mamata Banerjee.

And more girls should follow your example. We need one such agent of change in every state.

No real practical reason for most people. Sanskrit won't boost your job prospects, salary, travel, or daily communication. Careers exist in academia, teaching, translation, yoga/Ayurveda, or niche AI/manuscript work, but they're limited and low-volume. Translations cover the texts. Cognitive gains from study apply to any hard language. Learn it only if you care about original Indian sources or culture—otherwise, prioritise English, coding, or a living language.

Gandhi: inclusive nonviolent swaraj with interfaith harmony. Tagore: cosmopolitan humanism rejecting narrow nationalism. Nehru: secular democracy via unity in diversity and composite culture. Vivekananda: spiritual nationalism from Vedanta for self-confidence and service. Savarkar: Hindutva as cultural nation centered on Hindu identity and shared land. Aurobindo: spiritual nationalism as Sanatana Dharma, early revolutionary then toward human unity.
