Respectable DCM @DKShivakumar - How was this 1100 crores spent to make Bengaluru pothole free? This was announced 7 months ago.
Is Bengaluru really pothole free? Is Bengaluru garbage free? Is Bengaluru having functioning rain water drains? Are we prepared for the monsoon yet?
Beyond the national level numbers, it is important to appreciate the universal nature of poverty eradication across India. This is how it looks across NSS regions (clusters of districts within states) for Rangarajan Poverty Line. This is unprecedented!
An experiment at one of India’s most elite engineering colleges changed how scientists look at the Bhagavad Gita.
There is a college in India called BITS Pilani where getting admitted is harder than getting into most Ivy League schools. The students there are trained to think in equations and evidence.
Between 2012 and 2019, over 2,000 of them signed up for an elective course on the Bhagavad Gita. Nobody forced them. Nobody had to. The results were so consistent that it became a peer-reviewed study published on PubMed Central, the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
300 of those students voluntarily wrote about what changed. Clarity of thought. A shift in attitude. Better ability to handle pressure. Sharper decision-making. These are not the kind of things you expect a 5,000 year old text to deliver to engineering students. But that is exactly what happened. Across twelve batches. Over seven years. The same result showing up again and again.
Here is what makes it interesting. These students are trained to be skeptical. They do not take things at face value. Yet batch after batch reported the same thing. An inner calm that helped them stay focused. A framework for thinking that nothing else in their curriculum had offered. When skeptics arrive at the same conclusion independently over seven years, that is not anecdote. That is a pattern.
Most people think the Bhagavad Gita is a religious text. It is not. It is a conversation between a man who is paralyzed by anxiety and someone who teaches him how to think clearly anyway. Krishna does not tell Arjuna what to believe. He teaches him how to act when everything feels impossible. That distinction matters. It is the difference between a prayer book and an operating manual.
There is a concept in the Gita called Nishkama Karma. It means doing your work without being consumed by what happens next. That sounds like philosophy until you realize that modern Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is trying to teach people the exact same thing. Detach from outcomes. Focus on process. Manage your response to what you cannot control. The Gita had this figured out a few thousand years before therapists started charging for it.
During COVID, researchers ran a clinical trial on healthcare workers. Frontline doctors and nurses drowning in stress. One group learned Bhagavad Gita teachings. The control group did not. The Gita group showed statistically significant reductions in anxiety. And here is the part that stopped me. The effects were still holding strong 45 days after the intervention ended. Most stress management techniques fade within a week. This one stuck.
The Bhagavad Gita was written on a battlefield for a man standing in the worst moment of his life. It was not written for temples or retirement. It was written for the moments when your mind is falling apart and you need something that actually works. 2,000 of India’s sharpest minds found that it did. The only real question is why most people will still never open it.

@dpradhanbjp Your ministry is making ALL efforts to bring down the quality of education. Expectations were v high after the edu policy, but everything is on JUST PAPER!!@narendramodi
@dpradhanbjp संस्कृतभाषा को जिस प्रकार माध्यमिक, प्राथमिक स्तर से विद्यालयों के पाठ्यक्रम से निकाला जा रहा है वह अत्यन्त खेद का विषय है। संस्कृत-शिक्षण का विकास है या ह्रास की साजिश है? इस सरकार से ऐसी उम्मीद नहीं थी! @narendramodi
योग्यता हो तो ऐसी..अदभुत 👍👍
अध्यापक की भर्ती के लिए दो पेपर हुए, जिनमें कुल मिलाकर 500 अंकों के 250 सवाल थे।मात्र 6 प्रश्न हल करने वाला अध्यापक चुन लिया गया।
अब यह अध्यापक स्कूल में क्या पढ़ाएगा, कितने योग्य बच्चे तैयार करेगा, जो 33% अंक भी नहीं ला सका।
फिर कहते हैं कि सरकारी स्कूलों में बच्चे पढ़ने के लिए नहीं आते।
वोट भी देता हूँ, टैक्स भी देता हूँ…
90% लाकर भी बाहर रह जाता हूँ,
गरीब होकर सामान्य कहलाता हूँ,
सामान्य हूँ इसलिए जेल भी जाता हूँ!!
क्या यही समानता है??
