Recall my series on Indology? Dr. N.S. Rajaram throws more light on the pathetic state of this discipline, which is all but extinct in the Western academia.
WITHIN THE past year, the Sanskrit Department at Cambridge University and the Berlin Institute of Indology, two of the oldest and most prestigious Indology centres in the West, have [...]
No wonder nobody takes newspapers seriously any longer. How did this piece of dung even get published?
Also, women’s posts mostly revolve around themselves and often explore the fascinating contradictions, ironies and other complexities their lives are seldom associated with.
Men blog on lighter and casual issues that reflect their simplicity. For many women, it’s largely cathartic. [...]
The Acorn quotes Rajesh Kochhar, an astrophysicist who wrote a book back in 1999, on the Vedic people. This post is inspired from the excerpt at the Acorn’s blog, where Rajesh Kochhar derives several conclusions from a few Rg Vedic slokas.
I have read a few reviews of Kochhar’s book , not the book itself. This [...]

Some freak in the US posts an offensive video of Mahatma Gandhi on Youtube. I’ve seen it and it is in very poor taste. The freak apologizes with the usual “I respect Gandhiji” bullshit, which nobody buys but the apology makes their egos happy.
But the most idiotic response comes from an aberration of nature called [...]
Close on the heels of my rant against the UP Minister for Family Planning, is a similar piece by Dilip D’Souza. But he’s more..err.. cogent. And a trifle sarcastic.

Where are the self-styled “protectors” of animals now?
The stray dog menace in the city on Friday reached a brutal high when a pack of nine stray dogs ripped apart an eight-year-old girl on 9th Main in Chandra Layout.
These nitwits yell and holler about animal care and protection but has anyone examined their record of serving [...]
Here’s a great excerpt from a book that examines the “booming” Chinese economy, which is purported to threaten the West. Some illuminating lines from that link:
