firstly, a JNU VC could not have written such a piece before 2014.

i think this is a good test for ideologues who have a lot of opinions on a lot of events, whether they have the self-awareness and intent to seize the opportunity and convert this into something concrete including public awareness.

if they have awareness about seizing the opportunity, all they need to do is co-ordinate between themselves and talk about this topic collectively in relay for about a month, nothing more is expected of them.

Where are India’s Oral History departments? - The Sunday Guardian Live

As Bharat steps confidently into its Amrit Kaal by working towards the idea of Viksit Bharat, it is imperative to reflect on how Bharat and Bhartiya

A lot of folks get offended by the elephant representation of India in western and Chinese media. Their intention is often to make fun of India. But remember that elephant is a very intelligent creature. It knows empathy but it's also knows how to crush the folks who mess with its family and territory.

In Indian culture elephant is associated three gods, Indra, Ganesha and Mata Lakshmi. Indra is considered one of the mightiest warrior, destroyer of fort, one of the most intelligent man, the mightiest dragon slayer, etc. in our literatures. And Ganesha even though mostly associated with wisdom is heavily associated with war as well. The name vighnaharta comes from his association with war and strife. So no need to be offended by the elephant depiction. Embrace it. Be proud that India is the elephant of Indra. Just like Indra we will eventually conquer the Vritra.

Nibbas behaving like Elephant is some farm animal like a goat or a cow.

It is a strong animal which can crush the opposition under it's feet or gore them with it's tusks, it may not seem as active as a tiger but it is also strong.

Meanwhile the other side has it's mascot as a mythical creature to show aggression

btw if you want to mock the chongs use Panda, that is what they used earlier when they had to show they weren't aggressive

Lmao the word for dragon in Chinese is Long. And that words means snake. Basically it's a fucking snake. Chinese are appropriately called snake oil seller. Even in Indian literature such creatures are called Ahi i.e snake. Vritra was a flying snake.

It might be in the past, but I have talked to some Chinese who claim that pandas are very aggressive and in ancient times were used by their generals for wars and were called "Iron eating beast". They hype up the pandas a lot. (All of those claims are false btw)

the word for dragon in Chinese is Long. And that words means snake. Basically it's a fucking snake.

Which is ironic, because they make fun of western dragons as "just lizards", "reptiles", "flying lizards" and evil monsters while their dragons are supposedly gods. Even though, the Chinese dragons gets curbstomped in most of their own stories, whether by sun wukong, nezha, Lu dongbin or erlang Shen.

They have a card called "We are globalist, humanist" to hide their Islamist love for Pakistan. It's your typical bullawood celeb behaviour. If you question their behaviour, they will resort to "Humanity shouldn't be bound by borders, Pakistanis are also human bla bla bla." Avg globo-homo slop which doesn't take any context, historical reality into account. But such a crap is expected from those guys, they live in their own bubble. Those guys are disconnected from India that we live. Thre is a reason Chanakya consider such folks not suitable for politics. Because they live in their own bubble, and patriotism is very very rare among them.

Even "hindu" nautankis from bollywood do the same.

ISI has them by the balls because of their penchant for money laundering and stashing their cash in foreign cities like Dubai, aside from them being degenerates so they can acquire kompromat.

Greens ofc do it for qaum and mazhub, you have Aamir Khan mocking hondus with PK but you also have him going on Hajj with his ammi , all such rationalist sermonizing is for one religious grouping only.

Ashish Dhar is always a pleasure to listen to on the topic of Sanatan civilizational past present & future. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to listen to his views as much as I'd have preferred.

He hasn't got the kind of coverage or reach that say an Anand Ranganathan or a JSD might have . Part of this has to do with the fact that he avoids the media which he himself confesses to & is surprising to say the least for he's the head of the media channel Upword on YT X & other SM besides being part of Indic Collective whose very existence is premised on reaching out to people

Be that as it may , here's the interview on which he holds forth on the multiple pressing contemporary issues challenging Sanatan society & what he believes ought to be done .

He doesn't offer any quick fixes for there are none to be offered nor does he sugar coat his words which some may not appreciate but if you're interested in an original voice who articulates what you feel in your bones but couldn't find the right words to express it in , in the manner you'd wish to , I'd strongly urge you to hear him out.

I always come out of shows featuring him , on the few occasions he does a podcast & I stumble upon it , hugely enlightened even if I go into it thinking I know it all or most of whatever there is to know about the topic.

This podcast seems rambling for it has been split into several episodes for let's face it most of us don't have the time & if we do ,we lack the attention span to sit through an hour long podcast. Nonetheless , if you have read this far I'd recommend you see it .

It may just open up a new universe or enhance your world view or blow you away or provide you with sharp tools with which to better dissect the societal issues plaguing Sanatan Dharma at hand depending on which stage of the journey you're in .

Tbh JSD and Ranga have lost a lot of goodwill they had with their pompous tone among right leaning folks. Issue is they tends to act like they have a solution but they don't really have one. For example JSD and Ranga were trolling BJP constantly for Bengal, meanwhile JSD never fought a single case for Bengal victims. It was unironically BJP which was helping those victims by getting lawyers for them, fighting cases for them.

I would say this guy is somewhat better than those guys because he keeps low profile unlike them. And he doesn't offer quick solution.
