@narendramodi @AmitShah @HMOIndia @moayush @CBIHeadquarters @MIB_India If this is how the corporate hospitals treat, do extortion, leading to patients death this should be seriously looked into. Why isn't the Ayurvedic hospital given more authority to take up surgery and other treatments. Maharishi Sushrutha is the father of surgery and Ayurvedic hospital doesn't have full freedom for surgery. this needs to be reversed..#decolonise

Reimagining the University of the Future

A Look Back to Look Forward
The history of higher education is as old as human civilization itself. From the grand halls of Nalanda and Takshashila in ancient India to the University of Bologna, Oxford, and Cambridge in medieval Europe, universities have long been crucibles of intellectual pursuit and cultural transformation.
With the establishment of Harvard and other Ivy League institutions, the United States redefined the model of higher education in the modern era, blending liberal arts with research-driven inquiry. These models evolved and were adapted globally, each country shaping its own education ecosystem to suit its cultural, economic, and political contexts.

India’s Higher Education: A Century of Change

Post-independence, India’s higher education landscape diversified dramatically. Broadly, we can categorize universities into:
•Historic Institutions (e.g., BHU, AMU, Presidency College)
•State Universities
•Old Private Universities (e.g., BITS Pilani)
•New Private Universities (post-1990 liberalization era)
In the last two decades, India has seen a significant shift. The emergence of corporate-backed philanthropic universities like Azim Premji University, Shiv Nadar University, O.P. Jindal Global University, Flame University, RV University, Mahindra university   and BML Munjal University etc etc has signalled a new wave of institutional thinking. Some were funded by individual donors, while newer models like Ashoka and KREA are supported by collective philanthropy.some are run by old academic trusts like RV University. 
In parallel, the Indian government has expanded its own network, increasing the number of IITs, IIMs, and AIIMS, aiming to provide world-class education at scale.

Challenges in Today’s University Model

Despite these developments, serious systemic challenges continue to plague India’s higher education ecosystem:
1.High Capital Expenditure Requirements
https://t.co/zutUauIIDJ Disciplinary Focus: Most new private universities focus heavily on social sciences and business studies.
3.Massive Land Needs: Most institutions are located far from urban centers.
4.Excessive Regulation: Universities must navigate UGC, AICTE, State Governments, and the Ministry of Education.
5.Faculty Crisis: Quality, consistent, and motivated faculty are hard to find and retain.
6.Affordability Crisis: Heavy dependence on student fees makes quality education inaccessible to many.
7.Weak Industry Engagement: Beyond internships and placements, industry-academia linkages are superficial.
8.Curriculum Obsolescence: Outdated, overly theoretical, and overly focused on degrees rather than skills.
9.Student Apathy: Lack of motivation due to irrelevant coursework and disconnect from real-world challenges.
10.Poor Ecosystem Support: There is little support for innovation, experimentation, or interdisciplinary collaboration.
https://t.co/ffFpaQyPHJ Market Access: Physical and cultural distance from economic hubs.
12.Faculty Disconnection from Reality: Most lack industry experience or real-world engagement.
13.Students as Passive Consumers: Classrooms dominate student life; experiential learning is minimal.
14.Skill-Context Gap: Curriculum does not address the skills needed in a fast-changing world.

Indian highways are designed for much harsher heat conditions than most European roads can handle.
It’s strange how quickly some people dismiss the accomplishments of our engineers.

European roads look more substandard by comparison.

Located in Hisar (Haryana), Rakhigarhi is the largest known archaeological site of the Indus-Saraswati Civilisation, spanning approximately 550 hectares, significantly larger than both Harappa and Mohenjo-daro.

Major excavations at the site have revealed advanced urban planning, sophisticated craftsmanship, a large lapidary workshop, drainage systems, wells, and a substantial cemetery.

Many scholars believe it may have served as a major provincial capital or an important regional center of the Indus-Saraswati Civilisation.

These discoveries firmly establish that the heart and largest expanse of the Indus-Saraswati Civilisation thrived across a vast area of Bharat.

Ongoing research and preservation efforts at Rakhigarhi continue to provide deeper insights into this ancient civilisation and its profound roots in Indian history.

[KV Iyyer - BHARAT 🇮🇳🇮🇱 @BanCheneProduct]

Qutbuddin Aibak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty in the Delhi Sultanate, died after falling from a galloping horse.

But is it really possible that a general who rode a horse for the first time at the age of 11 and fought countless battles on horseback could die from a galloping horse?

Real History vs. Fabricated Story

When Qutbuddin Aibak plundered Rajputana, he killed the king of Mewar and captured Prince Karan Singh. Along with the looted wealth and the prince, he also took the prince's horse "Shubhrak" to Lahore.

In Lahore, Karan Singh tried to escape and was captured. Qutbuddin ordered his beheading and, to add insult to injury, ordered a polo match played using the dead prince's head as a ball.

On the day of the beheading, Qutbuddin arrived at the venue riding Shubhrak. Upon seeing its master Karan Singh, the horse bolted uncontrollably, causing Qutbuddin to fall from the horse. Shubhrak kicked the fallen Qutbuddin with a powerful kick. The powerful blows to the chest and head proved fatal. Qutbuddin Aibak died instantly in 1210 CE.

Everyone was stunned. Shubhrak ran towards Karan Singh, and taking advantage of the ensuing chaos, the prince jumped onto his valiant horse, which immediately took off running and began the most arduous race of his life.

It was a continuous race for almost more than three days, finally stopping at the gates of the kingdom of Mewar. When the prince dismounted, Shubhrak stood still like a statue. Karan Singh lovingly stroked the horse's head, but was shocked when Shubhrak fell to the ground.

The powerful horse managed to save its master and safely escorted him back to his kingdom before succumbing to his injuries. 

We've read about Chetak, but the story of Shubhrak is beyond belief! Facts like this never make it into the curriculum of our modern education system. Most of us haven't even heard of it. Have we?

It is permanently buried in history. It's time to share the glory.

I always thought why the cultural right has historically lost ground despite having truth on its side. IMO, the Right & Center have suffered from a self-imposed handicap: let us call this "Yudhishthira Paradox"

They bring the rules of a Dharmayuddha (righteous war) to a street fight, while the Left plays by the rules of absolute, asymmetric annihilation. The Left does not want to win a debate; they want to destroy your livelihood, cancel your credentials, dox your family & completely wipe you out from public life.

In the Mahabharata, the Kauravas systematically broke every single rule of traditional Dharma. They tried to poison Bhima, burn the Pandavas alive in the house of lac, publicly disrobe a queen & trick them in a rigged game of dice.

When the war started, Yudhishthira initially wanted to stick to chivalrous, rule-bound warfare (Prakasha-Yuddha). But Bhagavan Shri Krishna explicitly rejected this naive approach. Krishna introduced Kuta-Yuddha: strategic, asymmetric warfare where the rules of the enemy are turned against them to ensure their absolute elimination.

When the enemy has already abandoned Dharma, sticking to abstract moral superiority is not virtue; it is suicide.

Acharya Chanakya, the master of statecraft in the Arthashastra, devoted entire chapters to Kantaka-Shodhana, which literally translates to the "clearing of thorns" from society.

The biggest mistake the modern Right makes is confusing Dharma with Western pacifism/weak sentimentalism. "If they abuse me, I will be polite, because my culture teaches tolerance."

Our culture teaches Kshatradharma. Dharma comes from the root word Dhri (to sustain). Anything that destroys the balance of truth & survival of society is Adharma. Allowing a toxic, malicious bully to destroy your life, family & heritage while you sit back & claim moral superiority is actually Adharma because you are enabling evil to win.

As Rishi Vishwamitra taught Sri Rama & as Samarth Ramdas taught Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj: Evil must be met with overwhelming, decisive force.

The Left operates on the rules of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: "Freeze the target, personalize it & polarize it." They attack the person, not the argument. When you are fighting for Dharma in the intellectual space, your goal should not be to get a "good job" certificate from the Leftist elites. Your goal must be the complete, data-driven & structural dismantling of their fraudulent narrative.

As the Rig Veda (10.84.2) says in the Manyu Suktam:

अग्निरिव मन्यो तविषितः सहस्व सेनानीर्नः सहुरे हूतेधि |
हत्वाय शत्रून वि भजस्व वेद ओजो मिमानो वि मर्धोनुदस्व ||

Flashing like fire, be thou, O conquering Manyu, invoked, O Victor, as our army's leader. Slay thou our foes, distribute their possessions: show forth thy vigour, scatter those who hate us.

[Parimal @Fintech03]

The immediate defense mechanism to my this post is/was: 'I did not read the article, the article is only calling reincarnation research pseudoscience, not Ayurveda/Mathematics.' 1st of all, thank you for admitting, even if reluctantly that Ayurveda, Paninian grammar & Indian mathematics/astronomy are no longer 'pseudoscience' to you.

That in itself is a massive retreat from the standard narrative your brigade has peddled for decades, where anything prefixed with 'Ancient India' was routinely mocked as mythology.

You claim you support scientific validation, but your actions state otherwise. Look at what happened recently when IIT Roorkee published a rigorously peer-reviewed study demonstrating how specific formulations derived from Gomutra (cow urine) possess potent antiviral properties that can help fight the Chikungunya virus.

Did your ecosystem celebrate the scientific temper of IIT Roorkee? No. The entire brigade immediately threw a tantrum on SM, screaming that the 'IIT brand is gone' & 'scientific temper is dead.' This proves that your issue is not with 'reincarnation', your issue is with any scientific data that validates ancient Bhartiya knowledge. If a Western pharmaceutical company isolates a compound from a random plant in the Amazon, it is hailed as a 'triumph of ethnopharmacology.' If an IIT scientist does the exact same rigorous extraction on a source mentioned in our ancient texts, you label it 'cow science' & mock it. That is deep-seated, colonial self-loathing, not a love for science.

Now, let us address your panic over research into consciousness & Punarjanma (reincarnation). You call it a 'Trojan Horse' destroying Indian institutes.

If studying the survival of consciousness after death is a 'Trojan Horse' that destroys institutional branding, then please explain the University of Virginia (UVA) in the United States.

Since 1967, UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS), a fully funded, mainstream department within a top-tier Western medical school has been using strict empirical & psychiatric protocols to study 1000s of cases of reincarnation, near-death experiences & consciousness. They publish books through academic presses & papers in peer-reviewed psychological and medical journals.

Has the University of Virginia's global brand been breached/destroyed since 1967?

Is the West allowed the luxury of intellectual curiosity into the quantum & metaphysical nature of life, while Indian scientists are expected to remain intellectual coolies confined to a 19th-century materialist framework?

The bias is screamingly obvious: If a white, Western academic investigates it, it is 'cutting-edge parapsychology.' If a brown, Bhartiya scientist investigates the exact same concept rooted in Sanatana philosophy, it is 'superstition.'

True science is a methodology, not a dogma. It does not look at the origin of a hypothesis; it looks at the data. If a hypothesis whether it relates to an anti-inflammatory Ayurvedic herb/the continuity of consciousness is tested using modern empirical tools, documented & peer-reviewed, it is science.

Your outrage is not defending science; it is defending your monopoly on the narrative. You are terrified that a successful, scientifically validated Bhartiya Renaissance will permanently collapse the Eurocentric, colonial framework that your entire worldview is built upon.

@KanchanGupta Why shatrubodha is important

[Parimal @Fintech03]

For decades, the standard critique against the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) was: "Where is the empirical data? Where are the peer-reviewed papers? It is all just mythology."

Now, when institutes like the IITs, IISc, & AIIMS are setting up dedicated research wings to rigorously test, validate & document these ancient sciences using modern, empirical protocols, the critics have panicked. They have switched from demanding proof to screaming "pseudoscience!" & "the brand is gone!"

For centuries, Western medicine dismissed the idea that the mind could heal the body as superstition. Today, neuroplasticity & the placebo effect are multi-billion-dollar fields of peer-reviewed research.

If a modern scientist discovers something new, it is called a "breakthrough." If an IKS researcher uses modern tools to prove that ancient Indians already knew that exact concept 1000s of years ago, it is called "pseudoscience."

In 2015, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Tu Youyou for discovering Artemisinin (an anti-malarial drug) by looking into ancient Chinese medical texts. Similarly, India’s Ayush research ministries & global pharmacological bodies are finding peer-reviewed validation for compounds like Curcumin (Turmeric) & Ashwagandha for their anti-inflammatory & neuroprotective properties.

Why do these people have a problem with India documenting its own heritage?

If China can globally brand Traditional Chinese Medicine & the West can capitalize on indigenous knowledge, We have every right to scientifically document our own Itihasa & knowledge systems. Demanding peer-reviewed papers for decades & then throwing a tantrum when India actually starts producing them, shows intellectual dishonesty, not a love for science.

Be proud that we are witnessing the renaissance of Bhartiya knowledge. It is a long journey, but Satya always outlasts ideological noise.

Well done, IITs...Proud to be an alum.
