The Greatest Story Ever Sold

Book review:
Leafed through it in B&N. Have not read it, but the thesis is that Church brand christianity (as opposed to following the life of Jesus) is just a commercial exploitation of Jesus right from the time of Romans.

The Sulekha article is great. The author also should have mentioned (or I must have missed it) that there many indications that Christ came to the himalayas during his lost years, (from age 13-30, during which period the Bible has no account of Christ). I have many books on Hindu saints. Swami Rama,...

Very informative. Especially the "Indology Basics". (Harish's newdharma link).

Originally posted by chola: To the non-Brahmana castes I say, wait, be not in a hurry. To put it mildly: this is the most condescending piece of crap I've read! See, we're equal. Your station is to mend shoes and mine is to rule the land. And what's more, your children, born into the good graces of...

Excellent. We need to throw out the foreign word caste. Use varnashrama and explain its meaning as it was meant to be explained (earlier post). Reading any kind of discrimimation into varnashrama is just plain lying. And then explain that unfortunately, thats exactly what many people in India did it...

Caste (or better varna) system is excellent, caste discrimination in bad.

Shiv:
For the "caste" systems as 5 of 6 indians practise it, ISO is a great name. (ISO stands for Indian Students Org in any University here).

AshishN

chola: The varnashrama system does not say who is to decide who is greater than whom. All that is man-made. "Brahmins" of yore did their best to get this "hereditary" thing ingrained. And damn, they succeeded! "Low castes" have written some of hinduism's holiest books. ...

Untouchability is a crime and a sin. But for NG to not 1. point out the various things GoI is doing to remove the "caste" system 2. keep harping on the false definition of varnashrama by using phrases like "all men are not created equal" is tabloid journalism. Stinks of an agenda...

Yes, Vijay should have kept his mouth shut and went along just to be PC. He had no business saying anything about Sorenstam. But when the Western media takes anger against Vijay Singh's remarks out on India as a whole, that crosses the line. Blast the guy for what he said, not India. GoI etc did *no...

Nice, Arun! Everyone needs to be reminded : beating up on India, the country which has always been showing everyone the way, is both intellectually dishonest and also will not be tolerated.

Folks, write some pithy comments (copyright O'Reilly, c/o FOX, the most powerful name in Cable News, Amen) by clicking on the 'Have Your Say' (or something) button next to that Rolls Royce of a Poll.

Heh heh N^3!

I hid the fact that I needed glasses-I pretended I did not (and copied all notes from a faithful friend with excellent eyesight sitting, with me on the last bench). All this to get into the Air Wing!

(The friend later on went on to join IAF).

AshishN

There is something in what Victor has been saying about the NCC. All indians have got to get some kind of exposure to some defence-related outfit like that. Will reduce the incidence of ARoy-tolerators. Hey, even though I practically separated from physics/math and associated algorithms later, yours...

IMO India's motto (the core around which we build arguments directed at educating US, people who look Indian but are not, the brainwashed etc) should be: "India has always been tolerant to a fault. Indians think everything will be alright. Many people have taken advantage of this Indian ethos a...

IMO the "wisdom" that had been taught to Indians (you are no good) has sunk in very deeply, and will take a generation to be shed. Like the old socialist policies have sunk in and are being shed slowly. Very few people want to think for themselves what is good for them. What is the need to...

Good job Arindam! Keep it up!

Oooh!! Wook at the babies! Cho chweeet!

Tejas is a quality. Its not a plural of anything, AFAIK. Hauma or Ashok please? Thanks! Beautiful name. Tamasoma tejogamaya! (HH?) (twisting it slightly--a little bank to one side !) Added later: oops! did not notice it when I first posted, but Imtiaz has posted all the meanings just above! Thanks I...

Great write-up Abhaey!

Salute Sir!

Tum jio hazaro saal,

Thanks Raghu!

AshishN

No, I'm talking about the very first one marked "fullarm"?? Thanks.

AshishN

Aditya:

Great pix! Thanks.

But the very first one: is it a F-14? Mig-31? What is it? Is it a mixup?

AshishN

Oh, OK then...

AshishN

Shiv, thanks once again for the pix and videos! You don't know what that means to people who have to keep hearing "F-16 is da best" over and over...!

Anyway, what's up with the bald eagle emblem on the LCH ?

AshishN

Thanks Shiv! Looking at Su MKIs is therapeutic!

(1) Why are you interested in defense/security issues, especially those relating to India? --India was the wealthiest nation in the world. Look what a weak/disorganized defense has done to us. Enough said. (2) How (or when) did you get interested in defense matters? --At 5 I began building and flyin...

Are those flags that they are holding up? (Rectangles toward the bottom of the painting). And the dresses on the figures..looks like an advanced (relatively) group of people...good find.
