					<description><![CDATA[The first thing we need to do to get out of the stranglehold of English, is to choose an alternative to English. One of the reasons English continues to enjoy support is because it is the only language that permits Indians to communicate with each other. Since the southern states are categorically opposed to Hindi, maybe we could pick Sanskrit as the common language.

Choosing Sanskrit makes sense in other ways too, as you have said. Its use develops the intellect in other ways, all beneficial. As lovers of Sanskrit know, it is THE most scientific language in the world.

Learning Sanskrit will also enable us to read- and understand without the need for biased translations- our scriptures. If Bharat is to attain her vishwaguru status again, we must begin to LIVE our scriptures once more. 

Once the right language is in place, only then should the educational content be re-designed and the syllabus revamped. Moving the content around without touching the language issue is rather pointless.  

How long would we remain colonized?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One side effect of this is popularity of fiction by authors like Amish Tripathi et al. They are blatantly plagiarising the ved-purana stories. These are actual historical facts although sometimes there may be confusion in versions. Most people don&#039;t even seem to know the difference between taking inspiration from those texts and distorting, plagiarising and defaming the devis, devatas. Even prominent Hindus like Dr. Frawley, Smriti Irani etc. are applauding them without thinking about the impact this has on future generations. Complete lack of logic, discipline, shraddha etc. 
Would it be smart to distort tales of lets say Shivaji and write that he married Cleopatra and ruled over France or some crap like that? Would such a book be popular? Is this not madness?]]></description>
