Only with the reawakening of IKS through Ganita and Nakshatra Vidya the real purpose of #JantarMantar will be known to the students of the nation. Else it will be used as a protest site forever!

The premise behind the extraordinary AI investment wave is this: the only technology that will matter is AI. All other technology will be subsumed by AI because they can all be reinvented and vastly improved by a powerful enough AI.

For example, AI will help find solutions to climate change. AI will help find medicines to cure cancer. AI will help solve the housing affordability problem in cities. AI will help us end war (okay, may be this one is my hallucination!)

If you accept the fundamental premise and the concrete examples listed above, the only technology worth working on is AI.

Do you accept the premise?

High school graduates today can comfortably be equipped to start building real-world solutions right away, and they don't have to choose between a startup and a degree—they can pursue higher education in parallel. Armed with digital literacy and fresh perspectives, this generation is fully ready to look at their communities, observe pressing gaps, and design impactful ventures the moment they graduate.
Balancing an early venture with higher education creates a powerful feedback loop. Theory learned in the morning class becomes the practical tool used to scale a business in the afternoon. This dual path sharpens their spirit of inquiry, turning academic concepts into tangible, hands-on problem-solving.
It fosters deep self-reliance and resilience, proving that our youth don't need to wait for a piece of paper to create value. By building and learning simultaneously, they become true innovators. This is something we strongly encourage at @anaadifdn #EarlyEntrepreneurship #BuildAndLearn

Looking at this comment, felt like sharing :
An entire generation of children grew up/ is growing up learning to associate "formal discipline" with western clothing and physical misery because every morning across thousands of schools in tropical climates, kids are forced into a uniform that belongs in a 19th-century British boarding school: synthetic socks, heavy leather shoes, and a tightly knotted tie. This setup is completely disconnected from our local ethos, our geography, and our climate, creating a sheer physical mismatch where temperatures routinely cross 35°C and trap children's feet in thick, non-porous materials for 8 to 10 hours a day, leading to sweat, bacteria, and fungal infections.
Meanwhile, a tight polyester necktie restricts heat dissipation and airflow where the body needs it most, subtly teaching children that to look "educated" they must first look like they belong in chilly Western. By enforcing this shoe-and-tie template today, schools inadvertently send a message that our traditional attire is casual, unprofessional, or backward, even though true discipline is about respect, focus, and community rather than matching a foreign aesthetic. Imagine if school uniforms instead supported the local ecosystem by transitioning to locally woven cotton, khadi, or regional handloom fabrics paired with simple, breathable local footwear like structured sandals. Instead of billions flowing to massive corporate manufacturers of cheap polyester blends, uniform budgets would directly sustain local weavers, artisans, and tailors, while drastically lowering the carbon footprint since natural, locally adapted weaves are biodegradable, don't shed microplastics, and allow proper air circulation to improve a child's physical comfort throughout the day. #LocalHandloom #SustainableFashion #DeconstructTheUniform

Taiwan solved tax evasion in 1951 with a trick so cheap it should embarrass every tax authority on the planet.

The problem was an all-cash economy full of small shops. A merchant pockets the cash, skips the receipt, and the sale never existed. Auditors can't catch what was never recorded, and hiring enough of them to watch every noodle stand costs more than the missing tax.

So finance chief Ren Xianqun flipped the incentive. Print a lottery number on every receipt. Draw winners every two months on live TV. Top prize today: NT$10 million, about $310K.

Suddenly the customer and the shopkeeper want opposite things. The merchant wants the sale off the books. The customer wants the ticket. And there are millions more customers than merchants. Every transaction now carries a built-in witness demanding the paper trail.

Year one, reported tax revenue jumped 75%, from NT$29 million to NT$51 million. Seventy-five years later, roughly 70% of Taiwanese still play. Convenience stores redeem the smallest NT$200 prizes at the register, so even a coffee receipt feels like a scratch card.

The elegant part is what the audit force costs. The prize pool runs about NT$7 billion a year, roughly $20 million. In exchange, the government gets 23 million unpaid auditors working every checkout line in the country, forever. No inspector general on earth delivers that coverage at that price.

Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Slovakia all copied it. The most effective compliance tool ever built looks like a game, and that's exactly why it works.

The brilliance of Ganita pedagogy lies in its alignment with how a young child naturally learns—through rhythm, pattern, and direct experience. Ganita treats mathematics as an active, computational art rather than a passive exercise in memorization.
In the early years, instead of confronting children with abstract, intimidating symbols, Ganita encodes mathematical principles into poetic sūtras set to rhythmic meters. Children chant and internalize these numerical patterns, embedding foundational math concepts into their auditory memory long before academic anxiety can take root.
This stands in sharp contrast to modern math pedagogy, which introduces young learners to rigid, text-heavy deductive logic and abstract axioms right from the start. Where modern methods often force children to master the complex syntax of an artificial language before understanding the underlying reality, Ganita prioritizes algorithmic agility and intuitive verification.
Through Upapatti—visual and practical demonstrations designed to remove doubt—children see why a solution works. By centering early education on mental computation and playful problem-solving, Ganita builds deep numerical confidence, ensuring children view mathematics as an accessible language they own. #iks

While we hold deep reverence for the Montessori method and its contributions to early childhood development, it is essential to acknowledge that it was born from a specific European context. It is not indigenous to India and the roots lie elsewhere.

​We are at a crucial juncture where we must embrace Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) as the foundation for #toddler and #preschool learning. Our traditions offer a profound, time-tested approach to early education—one rooted in dharma, samskaras, and a holistic understanding of the human consciousness that predates modern Western pedagogy by millennia.

​The current trend of even Hindu organisations, mathas and traditional institutions adopting the "Montessori" label for their schools creates a fundamental dissonance. We risk diluting our heritage and confusing the next generation about the true nature of India's pedagogical excellence.
​If we truly want to nurture children who are grounded in their roots while remaining globally capable, we must stop rebranding our own brilliance as with other labels. It is time to reclaim and institutionalize an IKS-based framework—one that integrates play, character building, and intellectual rigor, designed specifically for the Indian ethos. Let’s stop borrowing and start building on our own foundation. 🏛️🇮🇳

Today = 0 time for inner growth, 10 hours of work, weekend ‘outward’ happiness.

Once you start investing = 1–2 hours for self-growth, 6 hours of high-energy work, everyday happiness.

Maybe inner growth is not a trade-off with work.
Maybe it is what makes work easier.

[Nigamanth Srivatsan @salemnigs]

Most of the time, we see investment in ourselves as a trade-off with office work.

What I have realised in recent times is that the fallacy is seeing this as a zero-sum game.

We will never find that 1 hour to do our exercise, yoga, or pranayama.

#Dinacharya #WorkLifeBalance

[Nigamanth Srivatsan @salemnigs]

When I started investing that effort in myself, I saw that the ‘work’ day drastically reduced.

You have super clarity, energy, and in general, a sense of happiness. My productivity significantly improved and suddenly, I had more time at hand.
