First, the Science Congress was a resounding success. For the first time in their lives it got the sufficient funds to advertise itself properly. It is a platform for ALL scientific ideas and hypothesis. Not just those of the Right, Left. Not restricted to what YOU or even 99.99% scientists consider acceptable and not acceptable. That is the purpose of a Science Congress - to put the more difficult to believe concepts into public domain. Like the Congress of Religion where Vivekananda spoke. A public platform. Where no voice is silenced.
Sure buddy. Totally agree with you. I will send a suggestion to them, to include a flat-earthist in the speakers next year. Scientists need some lighthearted fun.
I am all for openness in such scientific platforms, even if it means just spewing some BS hypothesis and running away without backing it up with any proof(you know as in real science). Luckily the forum by definition will simply reject such junk. Lol. 'No voice is silenced'. Who has silenced them all these years? They should have started a website like the flat earth society did. Ohh wait may be they already did.
Second, nobody cooled down. The projects have all been sufficiently funded. The leftist myopic elite have been replaced from both the scientific bodies (where they were in very few numbers) and even from ICHR. The focus happened last year and already a number of irregularities have been fixed. Other errors will be corrected, after the due research is done.
Lol. There cannot be a leftists scientist and rightist scientist. By definition they would be rationalists. And rational observation will sooner or later put these grand theories of past to where they belong. If from all the research, they confirm a fact or two of genuine achievements of our long lost history, then I welcome it. But we should leave mythology where it belongs. No point wasting money unless there is a way to reproduce results of the myths(Pheww unfortunately zilch so far).
There is no Left Liberal Secular monopoly of the information that is available today. So the idea of the Right Wing holding history hostage to ideology is not just ridiculous, but treacherous and disgustingly dishonest. The self hating clique has been done away with - and that is what will be. 20 or more years down the line, people will say that yes, this was the time when India began reclaiming her soul - with her head held high.
Treacherous to whom? Right wing is not holding history hostage. I never said so. They are making an honest attempt though.
Any rational analysis of facts before us, you call as self-hating. You will make India a laughing stock by making such ridiculous claims. Even Greeks claim that Troy was real, but they don't claim that Zeus had used an electro magnetic machine to create a storm and destroy Ulysses' fleet. I wonder if there are people like the Sanghis in Greece who pester the scientists.
And just by replacing some people you are dreaming that a conspiracy of self-haters, coordinated by God-knows-who in your nightmares, will end. That is paranoia and some sorry waste of time. First there have to be so many self-haters and second they should have some strong underground to be able to control 'history' like that.
'Reclaiming her soul'?!, please enough with your pretense of grandeur. India's soul has already been with it. History was altered to give a disproportionate screen time to Nehru-Gandhi family. No doubt. But even that is not much in our history textbooks(Most actions are in our books are attributed to institutions and not people. For example I read that India freed Bangladesh. It does not say Indira Gandhi did), but in popular discourse parroted by Congressi chamchas everyday. But what the right is seeking to do is also equally stupid. Nehru contributed a lot to India and the attempt to erase this part of history cannot be hidden.
AIT was destroyed by Indian scientists, how can they become self-haters? It takes some time for the theory to totally vanish from textbooks as more scholarship confirms its faults. People who do not understand this are drowsing themselves in their ignorance feeling that it is some conspiracy by self-haters.
Jinnah was a typical 'sickular' Indian. He knew perfectly well what he was getting into. He was a shrewd lawyer and lawyers are trained to gain foresight. He was not a fool like Nehru either. He knew his strength and the weakness of the Hindus and exploited it accordingly. A master strategist.
Lol. Jinnah was not secular. He was a power monger. I don't know/care where you would want to classify him otherwise.
There was no fire. LOL. Pakistan was a stable military dictatorship.
Only after they lost control of their pets did they become a failed state. That was in the late nineties(apart from the 1971 debacle). Not before that. There were many other successful dictatorships - among them South Korea, Singapore etc. So no, the fire came much much later.
Punjab radicalization -> Partition riots -> Tribal invasion and atrocities -> Ahmedi riots -> One unit -> Language riots -> Baloch/bengali insurgency -> Bangladesh -> Ahmedi outlawing -> ZAB murder -> blasphemy laws -> Afghan Jihad -> Madarasas funding -> Shia Sunni strife -> Kashmir insurgency -> Ahmedis/Hazaras/Christians/Hindus and who not targeted -> Snakes coming home to roost -> Suicide bombings -> Peace deals with terrorists -> Bombing own civilians -> Letting others bomb its civilians -> Hosting Bin Laden
I am tired now. Add some oil into it nuclear weapons.
I see fire
all along. Jinnah went without seeing all this. There are many other minor things which seem unimportant now because they are in remote past or because we forget, but were significant at that time. Like Joginder Nath Mandal running away from Pakistan(Freaking law minister of a country escapes!!), Abdus Salam's grave violation, Objectives resolution- for a few
