china's soft power: a chilling thought

February 21st

china is extending its bear hug across east asia, while back at the ranch, india's 'best and brightest' worry about cricket with pakistan, passports in buses to pakistan, the rights of separatist geelani.

talk of missing the forest for the trees!

typical of those who have no pride in themselves. this can once again be laid at nehru's door: he destroyed the study of sanskrit in india and thus prevented us from understanding our own texts without (erroneous and ill-motivated) english translations. if we had declared sanskrit the national language of india and aggressively pushed it, we would have been so much better off! people would have been thronging to india, like in the days of nalanda, to learn the old sanskrit texts.

the nehru legacy is truly india's sorrow.
