💥Until the age of 6 why are children to be handed over any kind of books based learning?

Just for the school mafia to collect CASH???

Why don't you let first the organs develop enough to be able to receive some information?

In natural surroundings, learning to touch, feel, smell, see, eat and play is sufficient and at whatever level for each of them.

Do women empowerment in some other sector. Please relieve the education sector from women teachers reading text books which has got nothing to do with market later.

[Samudra Manthana @samudramanthana]

@Maatrushree Yes. E.g., married women typically had first name followed by "Devi" (north) or "Ammal" (south).

@Fintech03 Kavala / Gandusha followed by charcoal/salt for brushing and tongue scraping give extremely healthy gums and teeth.

Mesopotamia was never the cradle of civilisation. India was.

I spent forty years in international shipping, not academia. When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I had no orthodoxy to defend. I followed the evidence, and it kept arriving in the same place: the Indian subcontinent.

Nineteenth century archaeologists dug in Mesopotamia because the climate preserved artefacts, the biblical sources pointed them there, and the Ottomans allowed the excavations. That is the entire basis for the myth of Mesopotamia as "the cradle of civilisation."

Nobody applied the same rigour to India. Mohenjo-daro was not discovered until 1922. By then the narrative had already hardened.

What was actually there was the largest civilisation of the ancient world. Three hundred cities. Fifty thousand people in each, by 2600 BC. Two thirds of them stood on the banks of the Sarasvati, the central and greatest of the seven rivers described in the Rig Veda, flowing down from the Himalayas before the river vanished entirely by 1900 BC. The Vedic kings claimed territory stretching "sea to sea," from Afghanistan to Maharashtra, some 1.5 million square miles, against Egypt's 13,000. A dock at Lothal built to handle thirty ships of sixty tons, unmatched in Europe for four thousand years. When it was first excavated, it was recorded as a bathing pool.

When the scale became impossible to dismiss, the theory was not corrected. It was replaced with a story of pale-skinned nomads from the steppe who supposedly arrived around 1500 BC and brought civilisation with them. There is no evidence. The chronology doesn't work. The Vedas describe no invasion.

In 2019 a Harvard-led genetic study revived the claim, and the press reported it as confirmation. It was not. The same study found the builders of these cities were indigenous. The Sarasvati river that the Rig Veda described had already dried up before these newcomers arrived. What the study also found is that a small group of men, arriving after the Sarasvati had already dried up, interbred with the existing population and left a genetic signature. That is all.

So, where they chose to dig was mostly an accident of climate and access. The Aryan invasion theory was constructed because an Indian civilisation that owed nothing to Caucasians was a fact the late nineteenth century could not accommodate.

We still have families.

Most efficient post partum care is a good family, and old ladies' generational wisdom. No amount of medication and doctors can replace that. Sadly family support is going down rapidly in India as well.

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

Just a decade ago, white men used to say Haldi is useless and even bad for health and educated brown sepoys agreed with white men.

Then white men did some "research" and said "Curcumin" found in turmeric is a potent antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties.

After that educated brown sepoys started seeing Turmeric as a superfood.

It is another matter that our Hindus have been using Haldi in their food for centuries.

All these people who are crying in comments and quotes about IIT Roorkee doing research on Gau Mutra will keep a bottle of it in their fridge after a decade.

[Raghava Krishna | రాఘవ కృష్ణ @Anviksiki]

AI, Interstellar, Bitcoin won't help solve this.

Only the Hindu metaphysics of Ashrama, Purusharta and Punarjanma will.

Or the asuric idea of procreating to proselytize and conquer.

That is the battle.

[Samudra Manthana @samudramanthana]

@elonmusk The "education" is British and thought process Western. Ergo. For Hindus, noble progeny is not only one of the Purusharthas but also the only way to repay Pitr Rn. Decolonising and embracing Sanatana wisdom completely alone will save the day.

India is one of the only countries where you can run to your parents w/o shame if you fail in life at any stage. They’ll help you w/ their best w/o worrying about their vacations or retirement fund getting ruined.

💥Again Globalism?

It never was Globalism. It was a dollar-led unipolar regime. Don't label your collapse as world collapse.

Why does your stomach ache to say UN will be dedollarised?

Wasn't it acting along as a primary lender with imf and world Bank to those in need of dollars with western political conditions and policy imposition?

[Dr. Shah @ankitatIIMA]

💥 Because we never had any private sector in America so we now intend to take printed dollars in your account to AI companies 😅

Instead of calling it bail-ins during crisis we will call it investment by the people 😀

[Prof. C. K. Raju @CKRaju14]

Yes inferior Western math WILL be finished. 🤣

Educate urself: West was INFERIOR even in elementary arithmetic from early Greek times till the end 19th c.

Took arithmetic ("Arabic numerals") from India but Western duffers including Goat No. 1 Euler couldn't grasp it. (pic1)

Everything starts from India no matter how much you hide it every truth will unravel one day

[Dr. Shah @ankitatIIMA]

💥Bhartiya children, at the time birth, are the sharpest and smartest lives on Earth, way smarter than their parents because they are carrying the DNA of the oldest civilisation.

The problem begins when this rich DNA is hammered to dumb down on purpose by the British classroom format and (dim colonised) parents.

Who would believe that just 400 years back the poorest, hungry, diseased europeans came searching for us, while we had 8 to 12 times size of ships they used

-and now for 70 long years we couldn't make an engine for the fighter planes?

My daughter Annika is proudly autistic and 12 years old.

She drew this butterfly from a photo she took herself — every vein, every scale, rendered by hand on a tablet.

She signs everything she makes. Dates it. Like she already knows it matters.

She's turning 13 tomorrow. Please share this for her birthday. Let's make her day.
