I hope you are joking, YoYo is a pathetic POS, he was adviser to Sonia Gandhi, but then went to AAP in hope of power, lost deposit in elections. Now he is back in his sanctimonious avatar.
Please keep on talking in AC rooms & funded by ABC. The Hindu's of this country has realized people like you were responsible for their Gulami. Please keep on these talks. This will help India find its narrative.
Where are we heading to? Has the modern science made us more constructive or destructive? Judge this from the fact that we have brought ourselves to the brink of extinction, environmently as well as militarily. Most of the people are having lavish life styles and yet they are not not happy. What have we achieved? Quality of life or quantity in our life?
my heart sinks in sadness when I see all of these 'college-educated' young people smirk and laugh at those that are trying to keep their own culture alive. NOt even SINGLE person there said anything like ' yes, I want to really learn about my own culture, my own history'.
INDIANS SHOULD LEARN MORE ABOUT ! RAJENDRA CHOLA EMPIRE , ASHOKA, THE GREAT THE VIJAYANAGARA EMPIRE AND THE MARATHA EMPIRE! THESE WERE GREAT EMPIRES OF OUR PAST ! AND WE MUST NEVER FORGET!
Indian Patriot exactly . Moral education is compulsory in all Europeon schools. This women us rubbish and obviously knows nothing about indian history and culture . Why give her so importance?
@Ram Kuber Thats the problem Indian people dont even know their scriptures it is clearly written that brahmin, kshatriya or shudra all are made by their action not birth. And if we would have studied authentic history we would have known that Britishers implied the caste system and now you will call me stupid but there is no solid proof of castesim in india before 1800's and if u can find plz tell me.
@Ram Kuber Varna is not caste and vedas and bhagwat geeta mention it clearly. This a pure example of a slave mindset that why I told you to show a historical evidence of caste based discrimination before 1800's and you just went on a rant. Britishers were the one who converted into caste and gave reservations on that basis which solidified discrimination and also passed 1871 criminal tribal law act. Britishers modernise😂 India was much modern and rich before Britishers and Mughlas. India had knowledge of maths, astronomy, philosophy , a eco friendly way of living, sophisticated architecture and medicine knowledge 1500 years before. It's from the time we have westernised our downfall has starten. To prove me wrong you just have to show a solid historical proof of caste based discrimination in India before 1800.
Ram Kuber no I am just saying that moral education is taught in European schools and even Christianity so why not Hinduism in India. Then at-least people won’t only point out distorted history of India like you , but also know abt its glorious past. read our history with open eyes and not which has been muddled up by Foreign powers. There are so many things introduced in our history.
Ram Kuber Before being thankful to your masters “ britishers” read their history too and learn what they did in their own countries Sir. Then read indian history and study their “ contributions “ to our country or should I call the evil they introduced ...
The history of the modern science is not more than 250 years old. See at what juncture we are now standing, the modern times are begging the modern times to save the earth from the imminent destruction of the environment being caused by the development today's modern science is generating. All this point we have arrived just in 250 years of modern science. Now just think about the past before these 250 years, was there any question of saving environment raised during the history of 6000 years of mankind in the past but of history of 250 years of modern science?
My high school history lessons were all about the western world like renascence and crap. Even British invasion of India is glorified to an extent. I even today remember the board exams question paper. 5 mark question was "Briefly describe the advantages of british rule in India". How divide and rule was a brilliant idea and praisal of british lords and governors. I was never taught about how India was the richest country for centuries before british 'invasion' or the british agenda was about british plot to destroy Indian self esteem by attacking their values and culture. Sadly we Indians are still in the same state even after 200 years.
i don't get how some hindus have become anti hindu in india itself,i'm not from india but i support that indian history should be rewritten and corrected,how the muslims broke indian temples and british looted india.
did you read the textbook, or just learn board questions from tuitions? no textbook glorified divide and rule. I remember it did mention that the British built trains that helped Indians from various regions unite. it also mentioned that the British prosecuted general dyer. also that the educated Indian middle class did not universally want the British administration to leave. these are historical facts, and mature minds are meant to think critically about them.
Barkha says “ what is our culture sir” . She doesn’t know what our culture so why the hell she is anchor for this program. Yes we have some bad practices it doesn’t mean that we “ beg and steal “ culture and practices from a foreign country? Instead shdnt we pick good things from ours first and then some from others ?
pushpak viman of ramayana , missiles of Arjuna are all fantastic imagination of those people who wrote these mythological stories to entertain the masses in olden days, it was so popular and recited so frequently in the society, imaginations of some individuals now narrated as happened reality. For thousands of year it was used as money minting machines, now sang parivar using it to mint votes!!! kab aayegi aql mere Hindu bhaiyonko.
The hypocrisy at its best when that girl said "You are not supposed to "Eulogise" the Indian Culture, but be open to the global cultures as well" The only thing which she could think of was eulogizing rather embracing "global culture" and discarding the ancient "Indian wisdom" as rubbish!!
As far as the young girl is concerned, she must know the fact that the fumes, generated by burning the candle made up of wax, are not beneficial to humans.
Modern science is giving less but taking more. We are degenerated as human beings and evolved in being machines more. Machines to generate more wealth and ways means to produce materials.
Last week Tamilnadu Archeology scientists are discovered a engine of Pushpaka vimana from Dandaka forest ... Its look like A35D USA engine... Inside of vimana , found a human bones, the chief scientist Mahadevan told the bones are 65 age vimanas captain bones ... the head and face of bone is look like Mr. Mohan Bhagavath ... some scientist told It is poorva jenma BJP leaders bones.... The research is going on very interestingly...
The girl who asked the question at 35th minute hit the bull's eye just right. While i compulsorily believe there is no harm in rectifying the wrongful colonial influences we have in our education system, same time appropriating everything Indian as righteous is as dangerous. No culture is static. Indian culture has an array of traditions and cultures all of which are equally superior. To enforce a certain 'brahminical' ethos (havan on a birthday or gau sea for childless couples) as sole Indian culture is very myopic and damaging. Forget about Muslim and Christian influences, what about the non brahminical culture of this country?
Madam anchor, No foreign language will do any special good to this country. If you want to make this country progressive, then make the children to think in their own language and culture. Borrowed cultures never make you thinkers and innovators. It was the ingenious thinking and hard work of Shri C.V Raman that brought the lone Noble Prize for Science to India.
India must learn to accept facts of life in education system and must have extrovert education system in world business language English which is very essential for india. India must look ahead to make education more easy and simple learning process. For example :- India must essentially introduce in schools accross India subject titled as 'Human body part internal and external', from standard 1st to 6th having each title named on each part expaining in short simple all details with sketch in four sub- titled paragraphs viz:- 1. functions 2. benefits 3. How to keep healthy ? 4. How to keep clean and prevent desease. This will keep childrens more alert, safe, care-taking of body, and keeping hygeine. India government must realise that, it is 'Human right' to have complete education about 'Human Body parts and functions', before they enter puberty so that they can keep safe and healthy life. Jai Hind🕉
India is the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, collectively known as Indian religions. Indian religions are a major form of world religions along with Abrahamic ones. Today, Hinduism and Buddhism are the world's third and fourth-largest religions respectively, with over 2 billion followers altogether, and possibly as many as 2.5 or 2.6 billion followers. Indian cultural history spans more than 4,500 years which makes up with many culture. Assamese people, Awadhi people Bengali people Bihari people Dhivehi people Gujarati people Saurashtra people Hindkowans Konkani Marathi people Muhajir people Oriya people Punjabi people Rajasthanis Seraikis Sinhalese people Sindhi people Tharu people (Nepali) ALL MANY MORE CULTURE.
Pushpa viman is not only the first viman. in Maha Shiv puran there is reference of vimanas. when sati saw devtas travelling across sky in vimana flying towards Daksh hawan. then Sati asked:" whats happening?" Devi from.vimanas told her :" we are flying to attend Daksh hawan ceremony". so there already were vimanas prior to just pushp vimana. and thrn pushp vimana was taken over by ravan from swarg lok. by defeating indra. pushp viman was actually Indra viman. vimans originated from aryavata.
@sheldon pereira bhagvad gita was never written on leaves All hindu scriptures are passed down generation to generation by oral tradition Pls dont comment when u dont have any authority
First tell me why this woman Barkha dutt is cherry picking topics she « loves»? She us hypocrite😡. She is even going again and again to a silly girl who knows nothing snd her only problem is «blowing candles» . Are we so low and mental Slaves that we have ro teach our 2 yr olds to celebrate birthday in western way but not teach them our cultural heritage ? Shy of reciting sanskrit prayers or blessings ? Lanat hai 😶
There is no problem with Barkha conducting debate. She is wonderful as always. Only problem was that too many people were participating in debate and time was only 50 minutes. which made the debate not so good. About Pushpak and stem cells it is not appropriate to add in syllabus as part of science. Because there are no evidences regarding these things. There are sketches of UFO's in some caves in various parts of the world. so that means respective countries can claim that they had invented those things thousands years ago? That's not appropriate. Ramayana and Mahabharata is even hard to prove as part of history. anything which can not be observes or can not be proved is neither science nor history. Sanskrit was not language of common people even in ancient times. It was the language of scholars as Latin was language of scholars in west. Language of common people never dies as Sanskrit died. so if anybody wants to study ancient text he has to study Sanskrit. Sanskrit need not to make mandatory language but it should be made available if somebody wants to study. Most important thing is don't include anything in Indian education system which you can not be proved as said in curriculum. Otherwise world will discard the whole Indian degrees and we will be proven morons in the world view.
As far as Sanskrit is concerned, earlier linguistics tried to prove that Sanskrit is off spring of European languages like latin. But a little bit of care can tell the actual truth. Majority of English vocabulary can be traced back to Sanskrit vocabulary. That can not be mere co-incidence. Why is it so that we have failed to device a voice based (English language) user interface for computers so far? While it is a fact that Sanskrit is the only language that is a complete language grammatically and is most suited for computers. So why can't we teach it to the students, so that they may understand it properly and utilize its strength to write algorithm in it for computers to make them more human friendly?
Barkha Ji, Indianisation means, start with you all getting education about India, Indian languages and our heritage in Math and science. Right now people in the media and people like us are all English educated, mostly in the Missionary schools. We have no clue till we start researching online and come across Shashi Tharoor, Sanjeev Sanyal, Rajiv Malhotra etc... WHile you have difficulty in fathoming what is India of past
Indianization of education system is a very positive step for India. India has been a British colony and Indian people embraced much of British culture and Government as well as educational system. We are proud of having a British degree. We are proud of speaking English and many Indians do not speak any Indian languages but only English. These are all the results of colonization. And we are all victims of colonization even to this day. Our schools, colleges and universities copy the British system and we get good degrees but often do not serve the Indian society very well. I have lived in Scandinavian countries for over 33 years even though I got my education in India, England and America. I see that the education system in these countries is more geared toward meeting the needs of the respective Scandinavian societies. They have not copied the British or American system but they have created a system to meet the existing needs in their countries. Does not mean they isolated themselves from other European countries or from America. They have exchange programs and they cooperate with other universities in any part of the world. Indian education system is good but it can be improved and should not be biased on religious grounds but should be unique to meet the needs of the Indian society to fill those needs. Sanskrit can be promoted in India but it cannot replace the mother tongues of the students. As far as religious education is concerned, the school run by Christians will give Christian religious values, Sikh schools will teach Sikh religious values, Muslim schools will teach values of Islam religion, Hindu schools run by Hindus will teach values of Hindu religion. Schools run by the government will perhaps have no religion taught or some education that will enlighten the children on various religions of India. The choice is for the parents to send their children to school of their choice. It would be wrong of me to send my children to a Sikh school and demanding the school not teach my children any Sikh religious values. I could send my children to the school of my choice so that they learn what the school has to offer and what I approve. India is a diverse society and children will interact with children of other religions which will help them to mould their character in such a way that they can cope with the diversity of Indian society which is also changing every day. This will also prepare the young generation for the age of globalization where they will eventually travel, live, get their education etc. across in different continents of the world.
Dinanath Batra ji has substantiated each of his argument on basis of facts and every question asked to him by b dutt was a clear example of poor research made on the topic of the debate all she was doing in the whole debate was misquoting.
There seems to be so much of emphasis on re-writing Indian education. I have in my observation, Indian graduates trained by the existing system do so well at the international level with ease. Rushing to change in a hurry will set us back to many years. Secondly, there is so much of emphasis on Sanskrit with no mention of Tamil and the contribution of Tamil language as the oldest language and the first in the list of classical languages. When education is discussed, please include a representative from other States where other languages are held in high esteem.
why do you want that a student should read extra box ?? Don't you have right things for students ? or Why do you want to overload students? or Why are you wasting your power like that ? give it a proper direction. Make a difference what students need today leave your faiths and religions aside otherwise students are working hard but there will not sufficent results. i think there is no need to have a politician in education field.
My surprise or difference of point of view with Dinanathji probably also a shame on myself . It proves how much of an "alienated elite" I am and how much I have left my other countrymen behind. If this books have audience then I have not done my part of the citizenship.
If something is not well researched about, then how can you reject the very idea propounded by someone. There were many things that are not explained satisfactorily by the modern science and there are many existing phenomena that are yet to be explained by the modern science. then will it be right to summarily reject some ancient idea mentioned in some religious text on the basis of modern science hypothesis?
And in that English had no role to play. Language has no role in innovation, nor do any borrowed culture. All that matters is missionary zeal to do something. It may your personal pride or national pride. And I am afraid modern day generation is only concerned about earning handsomely, not treading along the tedious path of innovation. All the studies are aimed at getting a job that will pay handsomely. So how come we are supposed to think that all of young generation can think like a visionary?
Bakwas hai ye sab india ke sarkari schoolo me science and maths ki padhai ho nhi rhi hai yha ke acche scientist bahar ke desh me jaa rhe kyuki yaha reasearch acchi hhi ho pati syllabus to hadd se jyad outdated hai teachers ade se jyada khud aise jinhe acche se padhana na aata ho aur ye log in sab basic muddo ke jagah indianisation westernisation me lage hai
The host of this program is acting like a participant not as a host. She seems to be prejudiced against the subject matter being discussed. Why are they afraid of a thought propounded by a citizen? Let the thought be put forward to the people. People are wise enough to accept or reject it. Why these so called leading lights are so overly concerned about this?
History of the world , even of our own country has been written by the west according to their conveniences , its just that our ancient scientific achievements were not well marketed unlike the western feats. Most thinkers, archeologists, well read and scientific will agree that Indian culture was far scientific than most other cultures during the vedic times . What is the harm in knowing facts ?
The real shame with our education system is that we are learning our own inventions and achievements through the western worlds endorsements!!! If any Indian talks about improving the education system, then lousy pseudo secular' saffronise the concept.
The history of rhinoplasty (Greek: ῥίς rhis, nose + πλάσσειν plassein, to shape), began in antiquity. Surgical rhinoplasty began in ancient Egypt and ancient India. In India, it was developed by the ayurvedic physician Sushruta (c. 800 BC).
mister @nalin kohli 4:00 if u say u want to make Sanskrit mandatory on basis of international followers then u should make Urdu mandatory first it has more international followers than Hindi and Sanskrit combined
Their should be an independent research on Indian history. People have the right to know their true history. I don't trust the Marxists historians, but I won't even like the right wing version of history, don't teach children what you can't prove, pushpak vimana was an Indian idea, not an invention. It should be taken as in philosophical context. Their are lot of things Hindus can be proud of.
The bottom line is: Does "Indianization" mean "Hinduization"? If it does, that is a problem. The culture of what is today India is an Indo-Islamic culture much influenced by the Mughals, etc. It can't be reduced simply to "Hindu" culture. Otherwise, you are basically making India into a Hindu Pakistan.
+kabiraltaf Its a fact that ancestors of you and mine were Hindus. We follow a lot of indian traditions. Actually there is not a religion called ´Hinduism´. The so called term ´Hindus´ was a term given by Persians who lived in India. Ofcourse contributions of Mughals have to be considered.
If you speak "Hindi", you are speaking a language that was influenced by Islam. Even today, "Hindi" contains many many Persian and Arabic words. Your clothing (Shalwar Kameez) comes from the Muslims. Your non-vegetarian foods come from Muslims. There would be no Taj Mahal, no Lal Qila without the Muslim influence. Even in Tamil Nadu, your bloody culture is influenced by Muslims. So I don't know what the hell you are talking about.
The Mughals were not barbarians. I am sorry, without the Muslims, you would not have Shalwar Qameez and still be wearing dhotis. Without the Muslims you would not have what is called Hindustani Classical Music today. You would not have Urdu. It is sad that you cannot acknowledge the gifts that the Mughals gave India. But that's your loss.
  Good news! Your comment has been approved on thehindu.com in Dravidian language family is 4,500 years old: study First written Sanskrit was found in Syria (analtolia) about 2500 years back and not in India. That proves east word movement of Sanskrit from Syria to India not westward movement as claimed by wishful Hindutva. In India even in 2300 yrs old Ashoka's (200 to 300BC) inscriptions there was no Sanskrit used! So its all Hindutva Aryan supremacist arguments that Sanskrit is native to India but its Indo-European orginginated in Anatolia. Westerners, being Aryans but not falsify Aryan supremacy, they reject that westward movement that is scientific history. The puranas and Hindutva wishful thinking are fallacy or dreams!. According to Sanskrit history only brahmin men can learn speak and read sanskrit.. that means brahmin ladies shouln't talk in sanskrit so also nonbrahmin should not learn or speak or write in sanskrit.. So Brahmin ladies and non brahmins only spoke a dravidian language! That means the lingua franca of all Indians must be Dravidian language.
Epics of sanatandharma.are not only myths. the epics are facts. actual occurances that took place on the region. This is the fact that aryavata is white magic and gyan delivering dharma. besides aryavata and besides sanatandharma what ever is practised currently is asuri vidya. so please bow doen to aryan epic and discard sinfil non- aryan epics. non- aryan epic.only corrupt this global community.
Indian culture IS hindu. Hinduism is NOT religion. Hinduism is DHARMA..And indian languages have NO word for RELIGION. Dharm is not religion. I agree that gita, upanishad, vedanta, guru granth sahib, thirukural, writings of tukaram, kabir, premchand, tulsidas, sufism, buddhism, must be taught to children, at least the choice should be there..instead of teaching Shakespeare..I disagree with ideology making Bible and Koran equal to Gita, Upanishad and Sufism etc... Bible has nothing to do with indian culture, koran has nothing to do woth indian culture.
Barkha does not know how to present a debate. The conduct is nothing different than by most other TV presenters in India. All are irritating to watch. A good debate's lost and participants along with viewers are left frustated, unfulfilled, unable to say what they came there to say & leaving the debate richer. If the Indian presenters can not learn from west ( BBC, CNN etc), perhaps they can follow Al Jazeera, SingaporeTV . There is plenty of such material on RU-vid to learn. Meanwhile, all those who want to watch such debates will be wasting their time. It's not just Arnab Goswami, Barkha Dutt, Karan Thapar but they all are rotten - young & old. So, it gives no hope for future that things will change.
Due to these obnoxiously unconfident and narrow minded fools hinduism is stated as sth. belonging to fools.Education should be about character-building and sth. that fuels curiosity.
Westernization is not equal yo colonisation Decolonisation is not equal to Saffronisation Saffronisation is not equal to Indianisation Indian education needs to get Decolonised i.e.Indianised. Agar ye pata hota to debate m ye log aise ni ladte Nalin m to joote marne ka mann krta h. Har bar betuki baat krta h
How stupid Ndtv.!!..Every country and every society in the world try to preserve and promote their culture... Chinese do that, Jews do that. What is wrong with you guys??
Geeta is not a mere literature. It is "Sarva Shashtramayi Shiromani Shrimat Bhagwat Geeta". In short it is above all religious books of Hinduism and Indian culture. If Geeta is a just a literature then so does Quran and Bible. Quran and Bible are also not holy if such liberals don't consider Geeta as holy. In hindu culture people don't keep Mahabharat at home but you can find Geeta and Ramayana in every hindu home. Aren't these guys ashamed of themselves that they are disrespecting their own culture on national television. This lady must be thrown out of india or atleast from Hinduism. She is such a disgrace to entire hindu community.
