The Curse of Reservation

So in the world's largest 'democracy' students are beaten up like common criminals for peacefully protesting against something that aims to cripple both their future as wel as the future of the country. It's really a pathetic state of affair - but then what else can you expect with prized morons like Arjun Singh making decisions. The guy is unbelievably dumb - seriously !! I mean you think you've heard Bush and you've heard it all but you've just got to listen to this asSh07E. Just to give you an example of how dumb this moron is - here is what the HRD minister, someone who was considered for the Indian Prime Minister Post actually said on a national interview: Interviewer : we are talking about the reservations for the OBCs (Other Backward Castes) in particular. Do you know what percentage of the Indian population is OBC? Mandal puts it at 52 per cent, the National Sample Survey Organisation at 32 per cent, the National Family and Health Survey at 29.8 per...

The Science of the Vedas

Rig Veda: 10th Mandala: Sutra 129 : "At that time existed only Brahma, imbued with energy in his nature and nothing else existed. Darkness was hidden inside darkness and existence was unknown. With the exertion of its own tapas,Brahma emerged out of nothing without external cause or action" Stephan Hwakings 'n' thousand years later in 'A brief History of Time' "At the big bang , the universe is thought to have had zero size and so to have been infinitely hot." (tapas above directly implies heat). The universe has arisen after this big explosion and has its origin in this super condensed mass. Rig Veda 1-50-4: "I bow to the one(with reference to the light of the sun)which travels 2202 yojans per half Nimish" this when converted in the SI units comes out to be 299,000 km/s which is very close to the currently calculated speed of light !! Its amazing how we have utterly disregarded even the mere consideration of Vedic teaching in the Indian cu...
