In the presentation, titled ‘Aniconic to the Iconic’, Jawhar Sircar explained how the evolution of a deity in Hinduism also alters the ways in which it is worshipped.
The authors of the book, ‘Birthing the Goddess: The Feminine and the Idea of Birth’, discussed the veneration of goddesses in their divine forms versus the often lower regard for women in their human forms.
During his lecture at the India International Centre, Dr Anirudh Gaur mentioned that he found 13 idols of goddesses along Goa coast. Two of them are worshipped even today.
General MM Naravane’s memoir—Four Stars of Destiny—reveals that he was left hanging by political leadership for more than two hours as Chinese tanks drove towards Indian positions.
The key to fighting a war successfully, or even launching it, is a clear objective. That’s an entirely political call. It isn’t emotional or purely military.
Just another Bengali “intellectual” denigrating and vilifying Hinduism.
Bengal produces busloads of such “intellectuals”. Who then go on to spread negativity about Hinduism and India in every global forum. Of course, it earns them very handsome rewards from various global foundations with vested interests and they eventually start acting as the lapdogs of such NGOs and thinktanks.
Good luck to Mr. Jawher Sircar!
Traditions that dont have followers who commit acts of terror in response to perceived slights will always be treated destructively. Terrorist and their enablers use their violent acts to perpetuate cults.
This is true for all cultures not just in India. People started by worshipping natural phenomena and then animals and then humans. But did these humans exist is an all together different question.
What nonsensical analyis is this. How does such stories get qualified to be published. I am sure when the author of this paper is confronted to produce evidence and refute counter evidence to support his claim, he shall run away.
