Searches for ‘Shalya’ in Google shot up dramatically after the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech on critics of his government's handling of the economy
Once seen as a fading presence on India’s investment & startup picture, the state is slowly moving up the ladder, with policy reforms & infrastructure building.
Agreement signed during 17th Joint Working Group (JWG) on defence cooperation. Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh met Director General in Israeli Ministry of Defence Amir Baram Tuesday.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Shalya was neither namak drohi nor any negative character . What ever he did it was action of tit fot tat_jaise ko taisa or sathe shathyam samacharet. Duryodhan and Shakuni cheated Shalya and got his favour so did Shalya with his intelegency. Shalya main purpose was to help to Pandavas like Shakuni to Kauravas. But I dont see that PM is as Dhritrashtra and Yaswant Sinha is as Shalya. Both desire to make India stronger.
Lot of factual incorrectness in this article.
1. Ashwathamma was the last commander not shalya
2. Shalya died before duryodhana
3. Charioteer was the low job but karna has actually requested shalya to be his charioteer as he has very good charioteering skills. This is as same as krishna being chariotteer to Arjuna
Last, was somebody give reference to a person from history it is about his special traits not the exact background about his role. If we say somebody acts like ravana, doesn’t directly means that his enemy is Rama
When we say “Bhishma Pratigya” we want to convey the intensity of the oath, it need not be by a son for his father. Similarly, “Shalya Vrutti” means intentionally demoralizing one’s own group/team. Particular context does not matter. Here PM has conveyed very effectively what he wanted to convey. It is clearly understood by people who do not google also. Most of the Indians are simple minded who do not complicate any matter. This kind of over analysis is a good example of “Shalya Vrutti” :).
The incumbent PM never has control over his tongue and he is at liberty to use such derogatory metaphors against his opponents, which the people are accustomed and also takes enjoyment.
I am a fan of De dutt Parnami but here I disagree with him, not because he is not correct for putting the facts but for not understanding the context. Modi clearly meant that Shakya was a person who was a charioteer of Karna but kept on demoralising him. The same is being done by Jaswant Sinha. He is with BJP but trying to create the same atmosphere for them. Take another example. Everyone knows that Vibhishan was on the side of ‘dharma’ but being a Vibhishan is not considered to be good. Modi is first to present Shakya like this. Tomorrow people will follow him.
People like me have respect on those epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana! Requesting you guys not to compare with the current generation politics and insult those epics please! This generation has the worst politics!
A very very disappointing analysis,not expected from Devdutt Pattnaik- the PM simply meant that his detractors are engaging in a psychological warfare, trying to de motivate him and his team – when a former BJP FM , describes his own party president and PM to Dussasana &Duryodhana,no matter it’s pure jealousy and nothing more- while the economy has certainly slowed down,subtler means could have been used,to alarm his party,if he still thinks he belongs to BJP, in spite of his new zeal to discharge his duty towards the nation
absolutely expected. his first article on swarajya got him off their list. he wanted to establish himself to the indic network, got slapped nicely.
All comparisons are invariably odious. If you compare yourself with Rama, should the bad attributes also get linked in. This becomes a meaningless and trite debate.
There is a channel called “Epic” @EpicChannelIn where all the stories related to Hindu mythology. There is one dedicated show related to Mahabharata. This show is covering afterlife of Kaurvas and Pandavas. After they were dead, these people are sitting in a court and asking (blaming) each other questions like who did wrong. The story of Shalya was also demonstarted in one of the episodes. Mama Shalya did it well, because he deserved respect. He was a dignified man. And why did Mama Shalya use psychological warfare is another question. He used it fight evil and take side of his nephews. I think he did wrong. But when in the real world “WE” use it for wrong reasons, it is actually taking out the dignity from psychological war itself.
Plus this piece reeks of ill-knowledge and hatred of that that is hindu. using mahabharata to write articles and make his accusatory pointers to current dispenstion who has kept him at arms length, rightfully.

Shayla was the last commander for kaurav
Shalya also means pointed Wepon and asushruta was the first ancient shalya chikitsak that is surgeon.

“Shalya was the last commander of the Kauravas.”
No
it was Ashwathamma

Shalya fought war against pandav with kaurav camp.
Yashwant sinha means to fight Modi camp with congress camp. No further analysis is required.
Shalya is a “NAMMAKAdhrohi”.Assuringly harms.

Mythology? Mahabharat is itihaasa not myth.
Plus this piece reeks of ill-knowledge and hatred of that that is hindu. using mahabharata to write articles and make his accusatory pointers to current dispenstion who has kept him at arms length, rightfully.
