Lakshmi on banknotes may improve condition of Indian currency: Subramanian Swamy

Does not matter, the interpretation was wrong.

So your theory is that Feudalism in India was the result of rule by Muslims and the Britishers.

So why does Bonded Labor still exist even now ??

Moksha. NIrvana.

Almost everyone knows that Buddha was saddened to see the living conditions outside of his comfortable palace.

There is a reason why he attained Nirvana in India.

Wars.

So India was not a harmonious, scientific, welfare society ??

Like I said, wake me up when we have a colony.

We should share some of the dreams of those more ambitious than us.

Well, this "Lakshmi on notes" idea was conceived by Subramanian Swamy who is a known crank and I don't think his suggestion will be taken seriously by the Reserve Bank of India.

Indonesia has Ganesh on its banknotes..If indonesia as a Muslim majority country can have that, why can't we? So many pre-christian Gods are on the stamps,coat of arms,currencies of european nations...I support this move..it is a good cultural celebration for atheists, and a celebration of faith for the theists

He is not proposing it as to celebrate "culture" or "religion". He is saying that having the picture of lakshmi will improve the condition of indian currency...that is simply pandering to the ppl like every indian politician has been getting in the habit of doing. Every so often there's some statement about vedic internet or some other tall claim like that just to get in the news. Swamy is doing the same here. Having pictures of lakshmi will do what? Change economic policies? Make economic adjustments? None of that.

Bonded labor is illegal in India.

Its like asking me why there are rapes, robberies and theft in India. All of which are illegal too.

Almost everyone knows that Buddha was saddened to see the living conditions outside of his comfortable palace.

LOL. That is the "western interpretation of buddhist texts".

That story was about an earlier Buddha. The second one. Gautama Buddha was the 8th Buddha.

So India was not a harmonious, scientific, welfare society ??

The range and scale of scientific and cultural output from India should answer that question quite convincingly.

We should share some of the dreams of those more ambitious than us.

I prefer my own dreams.

He made that comment to mock the finance minster of India.

Answering your claim that why Lakshmi was not depicted in ancient Indian coin.
