While global corporations setting up GCCs in India continue to express confidence in availability of skilled AI engineers, the panel argued that India’s real challenge lies elsewhere.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
Oh! What a major revelation! What is new? Anyone who had read (not just heard from others) knows this. Probably, the knowledge of mythology is scanty in the present generation.
The Ramayana is a racist story of invaders from Uttar Pradesh taking over large parts of southern India with the help of various Vibhishans. That this tale of northern Indian imperialism is still seen as a reference point for religion, ethics or morality speaks very poorly of mainstream Hindu society itself. Time to recognise that Ravan was only defending his territory against the trespasser Ram. For too long the real identity of the heroes and villains of this propaganda passing off as a ‘religious epic’ have been deliberately obfuscated.
This is a racist, nonsensical attempt to impose 19th century Western concepts of race into a completely different part of the world, from thousands of years ago. Rama and Ravens belonged to the same Vedic culture, religion, and sociopolitical structure. Ravana kidnapped Rama’s wife, and therefore Rama had to get her back. This isn’t “imperialism” at all, a meaningless term when applied to a culture when kings were frequently at war with one another. You are the only one obfuscating things with your racist revisionist propaganda, Sagar.
The way mythology describes Vibhisana, Joytiraditya appears to be Vihishan to Ravan Rahul rather than Kamal Nath! They studied together, have been friends for years and started political career together and Rahhul was always the big brother. So hopefully, the aim now may be not just to hit Kamal Nath but eventually, to destroy Ravan’s lanka in Delhi!!
Bania Janatha Party converted today’s Indian politics into commercial one like with money buying lawmakers to topple the democratically elected government. Buying a lawmaker like buying soap in the market or buying a cattle in the Shandy.
Now please tell what happened after Vibhishana became the King ? How did he rule ? Who were is descendants ? Did he ever meet Ram again ? Did he visit India later ?
