Maybe he would have accepted that the TNT was right!

Gandhi's principle was that all human beings were one. TNT being such a divisve ideology would never have found favor with him.

Anyhow, regarding politics and entertainment, Tamils are totally crazy,insane. I have not seen such political scenario in any other state ( UP is trying to emulate it- Mayawati Vs. Mullayam similar to JJ Vs. Karuna)....

The crazy and insane Tamils are way ahead of the brilliant Bongs in every respect, despite the antics of JJ and Karuna, while the chain-smoking bhadralok lag far behind the Khushboo-worshipping crazy Tamils. Are the brilliant Bongs so blind that they cannot see what is good for them and continue to be enamored by the Commies when even China is discarding Communism slowly?

Nkg,

(Tamils are totally crazy,insane.)

These crazy Maddus also have some of the best social and economic indices in the country. And some of the best brains too.

VRV...

"Jayalalithaa is not a school drop-out. She studied up to 10th and discontinued studies as she had to support the family. Secondly, she stood state-first in 10th class (that's what I read).

Finally she's not supposed to use the honorific title Dr in her name (cos it's an honorary Doctorate). Same goes for APJ Abdul Kalam. Tho he had some inventions in his name the Dr he had is an honorary title and they are not suposed to use them regularly."

APJ is not great scientist. He is very good materials engineer; thats all. RSS made him hero. He has no basic contribution towards science. Almost all DRDO/ISRO projects are hired technology from Russia. Now, we are colaborating with Israel & France to get better defence technology (in fact China does the same)....
J J is good leader. Anyhow, regarding politics and entertainment, Tamils are totally crazy,insane. I have not seen such political scenario in any other state ( UP is trying to emulate it- Mayawati Vs. Mullayam similar to JJ Vs. Karuna)....

History instills confidence within a nation. From 6th/7th standard onwards, we learn mathematics for the sake of learning and for the students it is an alien subject. At least the students should know, it is our own. It may attract more love for the subject.
A nation with 1Bn people is placed 25th in mathematics olympiad. Though we are doing quite well in Chess in recent times, that can not be said about mathematics or basic sciences. Grassroot level, the ownership or love is missing.

Harishbhai,

To VRV,Guru, Ekalavya...

I was never part of RSS or any other organisation. I visited Belur Mutt once. I am aware of the works of R K Mission and admire it.

I have stated some facts. You counter that with facts. There is no point being emotional. Gandhi was

Regarding ancient mathematics, I was amazed to see how simple math can be represented using simple lines....

Please tell me one of the Gandhis social idea, which was totally unknown to India.

Similarly of course India has largely discarded MKG's legacy (mercifully) Even Harishbhai and VRV dont want India to follow Gandhi's footsteps.

Majumdar bhai if Gandhi were alive today, he would be most disappointed if we still carried on with his ideals 60 years later. The man was constantly learning and evolving and would have wanted India to do the same and not remain stuck in a time warp.

My, what a board! :) :)

No matter how cynical and crabby one gets, seeing Indians still retain respect for Gandhi makes one happy.

Way to go, vrv, vengat bhai, harish and others of the Light Brigade. You beat back the cynical 'old' (well, majumdada and masanamuthu are young) gang of nkg, majumdada, masanamuthu, santani, and kaal! (Thumbs up icon here)

NKG,

What shud say now? To me u r a soft-RSS guy. Lemme tell u one thing. I too went to RSS for over one year in my late teens. So u need not educate me on RSS' view of Bharat.

Vedic Mathematics :

The video is a bit funnier. Tho Vedic ppl were the inventors of Zero concept, the mathematics they knew was no more than additions, subtractions and multiplications (?). There're no complex mathematics involved. If Varaha Mihira, Arya Bhatta, Bhaskara had some contributions it's becos they worked on mathematics & NOT becos they worshipped some stones.

Tho Vedic ppl are ahead of the times then, the same stuff cant be used now for the times we live now. World has moved a long way & we need to catch up with the rest of the world. It's better not to be stuck in the olden times.

++

Gandhi's social ideas :

Tho some ideas are outdated and some are refashioned to the modern times (Gandhi era) but his work of uniting Indians regardless of caste distinctions is unmatched. He inspired millions of Indians who worked to erase caste rigidities.

Gandhi was a faddist but he shone like a star during the final stages of Indian freedom struggle. Ur langoti RSS effers are not worth a mention as far as freedom struggle is concerned.

Majumdarda,

It's an outburst and I apologise for that.

Venkat,

Jayalalithaa is not a school drop-out. She studied up to 10th and discontinued studies as she had to support the family. Secondly, she stood state-first in 10th class (that's what I read).

Finally she's not supposed to use the honorific title Dr in her name (cos it's an honorary Doctorate). Same goes for APJ Abdul Kalam. Tho he had some inventions in his name the Dr he had is an honorary title and they are not suposed to use them regularly.

However we can exclude Kalam as he's some inventions in his name but Jaya invented none but bus numbers like 1J and 1JJ in Madras.

Sanatani,

If you are a product of a single father you would not have abused somebody behind a nick and the net.

It speaks a lot about your family and your women. You probably were excreted in the loo through a rectum.

Re: # 156

Majumdar,

I believe its time we stopped believing in the 'Patriotism' business. Visit the nearest government hospital, you will see how many are in a queue for a obsolete dialysis machine. We are killing our own people in the name of defence spending.

Mohar bhai,

You are right. What matters today is what today's Injuns/Pakis want. Pakis shud be free to have an Islamist society if that is what they want irrespective of what MAJ (pbuh) wanted. Similarly of course India has largely discarded MKG's legacy (mercifully) Even Harishbhai and VRV dont want India to follow Gandhi's footsteps.

Sanatani shaib,

Kindly refrain from abusing Vengy sahib, he is a patriotic Injun.

(Thanks to J Man we have a clear Hindu state albeit one where we will lose Asom, North East and Bengal due to infiltration .)

Yes. But MAJ cannot bebalmed for Hindoos own foolishness.

Re: # 151:

Even Godsay would not say what you said. Gandhi was higher consciousness. His contribution to civilizational India is immense. Mind also that he was life long learner. He would have learned why all our gods and goddesses carry weapons by 49-52 because of Hyderabad, J&K and Tibet.

The man was honest, selfless and acted upon his convictions. Lot of leaders get following on negatives such as fear mongering, Islam Khatre Mein Hai, how many get followers for life for positives such as non-violence, organic living etc. He created real men and women. google on Mrudula Sarabhai. There is link in one of the post on Power of Faith.

Gandhi was Indianization of Marxism to some extent. Commies feared him more than Kangress.

Present day India could have played little game of good cop and bad cop to transform Islam of Indian muslims into Indian Islam. Gandhi would have played well the role of good cop.

Islam has to be Hinduized for the survival of the humanity. West is also coming to the same understanding. End of re-legions is ineviatble.

It is so beautiful that the 1st 3 letters of your name are the same as Shri J Sahib

ROFL..

Sanatani, looks like we are getting into a 'fetish' on Jinnah. The more I learn about the pre-partition conditions the more I become grateful to Jinnah. He is really the saviour.

Thankfully, Nehru/Patel/Jinnah deserve our Kudos.
we should start a movement for awarding "Bharat Ratna" to Jinnah.
