1/ My three-volume history places the Indian subcontinent at the centre of world civilisation. On the question of continuity, it is the most impressive case on earth, and the one Western scholarship has most consistently underestimated.
2/ At Bhimbetka's 30,000-year-old paintings, a dancing deity with bangles and trident immediately recalls the dancing Shiva of today, as Michael Wood observed, and as I cite in my own work. A 14,000-year-old yoni stone near Allahabad was recognised on sight by local villagers. This demonstrates continuity. Therefore the seal is a middle chapter in the whole story.
3/ The argument that Indian sacred symbols require a Elamite or steppe source was constructed in the 19th century by Max Muller, who never visited India. He later called his 1,500 BC date for the Rig Veda 'merely hypothetical.' Subsequent historians copied the original date and ignored the retraction. Voltaire said 'everything has come to us from the banks of the Ganges.' He was wrong about most things but right about this.
Proto-Elamite?
The Pashupati seal has an elephant, a water buffalo and a rhinoceros. Ancient Elam was centred in southwestern Iran. Elephants, water buffalos and rhinoceroses are not native to ancient Elam. BTW, they are native to India. Also, the figure is seated in a Yogic posture. Is Yoga also Elamite now? Seriously?
Your profile says you are a professor. I don't mean to sound rude, but your students deserve a refund. And seriously, Western universities need to improve their hiring practices.
Days after DMK MLA Thiru Udhayanidhi Stalin spoke about eradicating Sanathana Hindu Dharma on the floor of the legislative assembly, TVK MLA Thiru VMS Mustafa came in support of Thiru Udhayanidhi Stalin’s remarks. Not only is this very unfortunate but also it shows the level of hatred they harbour in their minds towards an eternal Dharma that helps us to lead a meaningful life!
DMK & TVK, in their very short history, have proven to the people that they are two sides of the same coin. DMK has forgotten what their constant attack on Sanathana Hindu Dharma has brought them to. TVK will also soon remember.
If either DMK or TVK had the courage of conviction, they should have openly declared during their election campaigns that targeting Sanathana Hindu Dharma would be central to their politics. Instead, they hid behind secularism & theatrics, only to reveal their true intentions after seeking votes from the very people whose faith they now insult with arrogance and impunity.
Please be reminded, Sanathana Hindu Dharma is not your punching bag! I sincerely hope their remarks will not go unpunished by our people.
@KarthikRam1974 Now that we have gotten rid of a vile ideology, can we respect each other religion and stop hurting sentiments. As individuals can we call out people who use benefits inspite of conversions. I hope that trend catches up.
Be an optimist who'd rather be proven wrong than a pessimist who'd be right. Life has enough negativity and reality checks anyway. Kashtam varrapo paathukalam, why pre-empt it? Wish our new CM well and pray he delivers better governance. Nalladhey nadakkum, confident ah irunga!
A shout out for this handle @Fintech03 . Just bringing out these forgotten scientific heroes of India, is doing yeoman service to the nation. Why, oh why, were we never taught about any of these scientific giants?
Our education system, even now, ignores Indian scientists and that's a crying shame.
Do follow him, folks.
The biggest modern day brand ambassador for all gullible South Indian Smarta Brahmins. If you want to capture their attention and sound remotely religious or "spiritual" in order to appeal to the gullible Iyers, you use His photos for your business - be it wedding contract business, catering, canteen menu, real estate, calendar printing, pooja store etc etc everything . He is your all-in-all 'model' for advertisements targeting the gullible Iyers
You need to drop words like Mahaperiyava miracles, Periyava Jayanthi, Anusham
They won't know Brahmana Swadharma such as learning Vedas, or atleast doing daily Sandhyavandana or Brahmayagyam, but in their defence they will talk about their "Bhakti" to Him driving such business behaviour
Assume that in their minds, their Bhakti towards Him is so great that such "Bhakti" can surpass all the sins of skipping Nityakarmas or the sins of selling food
Not just using Him as a brand ambassador but also building temples for Him. I personally know of a genuine Veda Patashala where boys reside & learn and right adjacent to it, is a temple built recently for Him at the cost of 8 Cr. I heard. Building temples for Him is a very good money-making business today (btw building temples for Sanyasis is forbidden in Agama Shastra and is nowhere written in any Shastra)
The biggest ever sage of modern India and almost solely responsible for resurrecting Vedas and Dharma, Shastra in South India. I get gooseflesh as I think about ALL that He has done for the Vedic cause in one lifetime!
If only He were alive to see all this Tamasha and antics done today in His name!
Khela ho gaya !
Xi Jinping to Vladimir Putin : As agreed, send seven crude oil tankers to China.
Putin : Da.(Yes)
PM Modi on phone to Putin: How are you, my dear friend...India needs your support once again. My people urgently require fuel and LPG. The disruption of supplies from the Gulf has led to panic and a demand for more....
Putin : Of course, my friend. But there will be a delay of about a month. We have already dispatched seven tankers to China.
PM Modi : That's great news. Have a great day, my friend.
PM Modi phones Mota Bhai :
Mota Bhai, Kem cho, can you poach oil tankers the same way you negotiate some others....?
Amit Shah : Hardeep ne phone karu che, Sir......
Amit Shah to Hardeep :
Let me handle the negotiation. You just give me an idea of their base price. We wont overpay. Let a Gujju handle the negotiation.
Coast Guard to Amit Shah :
Sir, contact has been established with the captains of the seven tankers.
Mota Bhai : Dekho bhaiyya, Tel aur paisa bachana hai kya. Toh yahi utar jao. Mumbai ka Vada Pav khaya hai kabhi. Ek bar aao toh kabhi humare Maharashtra mai.
Next day.....Breaking News :
Seven tankers carrying Russian oil have switched their destination from China to India.
Xi Jinping : Pata Karo....Who leaked the news......
Putin smiling.......
In 2020-21, a 9th-grade student named Anujath Sindhu Vinaylal from Thrissur, Kerala made this painting titled it "My Mother and Mothers in the Neighborhood"
There is a popular story that he did it when his father told him that his mother doesn't work....not sure of this.
Whatever it is, more importantly the picture captures a relentless, often invisible labor that women perform every day - a work that is unpaid.
Respects to all women on #WomensDay2026

Listen carefully to what Maulana Hasan Ali Rajani, VP of the All India Shia Personal Law Board says.
He clearly states: grief is understandable, but exporting protests into other countries is wrong. Shias follow Ayatollah Sistani of Iraq, not Iran. Loyalty must be to one’s own nation.
You won’t see this going viral amongst common Muslims because it disrupts a convenient narrative.
Masi Magam is usually an auspicious day in the Tamil calendar, celebrated with grandeur in temples across Tamil Nadu. Yet, in the annals of Tamil history, it is also remembered as a day of deep tragedy — particularly at Arunachaleswarar Temple. Why? 🧵
After repeated invasions from the Delhi Sultanate, the Hoysala king Veera Ballala III shifted his capital to Tiruvannamalai. He undertook extensive renovations at the temple of Annamalaiyar and is credited with constructing a majestic gopuram. His devotion was profound — tradition holds that he regarded Lord Annamalaiyar as his own son
yesterday I visited the Harish-Chandra Research Institute in Prayagraj for some work. While I was there, someone casually mentioned the name Ashoke Sen
I had never heard of him before.
But the more I asked, the more I was stunned.
So I researched everything about him
here is what I found 👇
> he is a Indian Theoretical Physicist & String Theory Pioneer
> born in a middle-class family in Kolkata
> No elite background. No connections. Just pure brilliance
> studied at Presidency College, Kolkata
> moved to IIT Kanpur, then Stony Brook University, USA
> spent years on problems most physicists considered unsolvable
> colleagues doubted the relevance of String Theory
> governments didn't fund it. Industries ignored it still he didn't quit
> In 1994 he proposed S-duality a breakthrough that shook the world of physics
> changed how scientists understood the universe at its deepest level
> opened the door to the String Theory Revolution
> cracked the mystery of Black Hole Entropy using String Theory
> did what even Einstein couldn't fully do
> the world finally noticed
> In 2012, awarded the inaugural Fundamental Physics Prize 3 times bigger than Nobel Prize
> $3 Million (₹35–36 crore) the largest individual prize in science at the time
> chosen among the greatest minds on Earth
> never left India permanently. Chose to work from first Allahabad now Bangalore
> proved that world-changing science doesn't require Silicon Valley or Harvard
> became India's greatest living theoretical physicist
