		<description>Hi Shantanu

Thanks for the Link !!

But unfortunate part is its The same story which we hearing from last 60 years , link is not telling anything special , as Problem is the same , the colonial conciousness is refuse to go out of our mind . we just cant think differently .

You didn’t understand my internal concern While i say India was never a nation and will never be a nation , as because We need to understand first What is nation means in Indian Contest and what is Nation means in Western Contest .

Let me give one small Example :- Just think for 5 minutes that you don’t know English and you cant understand English , and ask following question in any of Indian and sub Indian Language ( Hindi, Sanskrit,Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi etc, etc.)

What is your religion ??
What is your nation ??
and i bet you cant ask these question in any of your Indian language , neither religion means Dharma , or neither Rastra Means Nation , even i can give numerous example like Worship = pooja , Rajya = State etc etc .

As Nation Means community of people who share a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent, or history . Now this definition cant be given to same to Rastra , As Rastra Means Completely different altogether , as because in India where very 20Km our language change , dress change , history change , story change , culture change , traditions change . but we Indians Together almost from 10000 Years .

But these Westerners cant be stay Together They needs This theory as Nation . Where One language is National Language ( while all of them speak Unique Language ) One river , One Flag , etc etc , But we Indians Organize Society Completely differently

Let me more specific If you see the stories about , nation, society, culture and people, and the social movements like socialism, secularism and liberalism, Marxism and beyond, where actually emerged or born?? it emerged and born from the responses and experiences and situation of the people in the western countries and western atmosphere of the world, And what is useful there in Europe and western World, or what works there failed to work here in INDIA

Because neither our experiences of our society, nor our society itself is any scenes of the word is homomorphic or isomorphic with European society and culture,
let’s understand my statement better , if you look at social sciences today in 21st century , if u look at them and you follow the history then you will understand where they will come from and how it will come to INDIA , for example notion about the Nation , state, society , citizen , representative of the democracy , rule of law all these things which is cornets’ and stoniest of any civilized nation now a days , the basic foundation of these blocks , so called social sciences where actually laid in 16th and 17th centuries , to begin with travellers to India , succeeded by the missionaries who came to India , followed by the people who took this fact , which provided by the travellers and missionaries as scientific facts and build theories on that .

Just because Westerners have religion so we must have also religion , westerners have Democracy we must have democracy , they have nation we must have also nation , they have the holly books we must also have holly books These theories Never Work In India

As Because India was never a nation , and will never be a nation as because Indias Organizing Society is Completely Different Way

		<description>Sudeep: Unfortunately I have no time to debate this but the idea that India was never a nation and will never be a nation is patently false.

		<description>Hi Shantanu 

My Question is Why we need a National Language at all ?? India was never a Nation Before , and India Will never a Nation , Indias Organizing Society Completely Different Than West , We need a Full Fledge Theory for that   

We have more than 2000 Language lets Celebrate on that , Why we need Western theory on This , Why we need Ganga As a National River , we have more than 7 major rivers and numerous tributaries with a different names ?? Why we must call One river as a national River . Lets celebrate and give importance to each , People will respect and Pray according to territorial which they belong . 

I think Only one good thing what nehru did is he never imposed any language as a National Language as India was never a nation will never be a nation

		<description>Speed of light in samskrit text.
The speed of light was already known to Bharathiya Scholors and Rishis.

तरणिर्विश्वदर्शतो जयोतिष्क्र्दसि सूर्य &#124;
विश्वमा भासिरोचनम &#124;

No the above Rigvedic hymns is not calculating the speed of light but the commentary on this hymn by Sayana did the calculation.

		<description>There&#039;s a happeninig &quot;Sanskrit Subhashitani, Sanskrit Nukkad&quot; thread at BR.
http://forums.bharat-rakshak.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&amp;t=6408

Glad to see Sanskrit posts here. There&#039;s a lot of distortion and propaganda on Vedas, Brahamanas, Upanishads and Sutras because most of the literature currently referred to is the euro centric interpretation / translation done by colonial indologists of 19th century.
Example - The muck being thrown at us that vedas or vedic literature mention beef eating and cow slaughter.
Without proper light of Sanskrit falling on our people, who would know that &quot;Maans&quot; doesn&#039;t always mean &quot;Meat&quot;. Maans means anything pulpy and meat being pulpy is often called &quot;Maans&quot;. Now what to say of the pseudo sickulars who read &#039;maans&#039; in a verse say about pulpy mangoes and jump the gun, painting the vedas haywire?
Who has been to Agniveer website? I don&#039; want to sound like an advertisement bu here&#039;s the link - http://agniveer.com/no-beef-in-vedas/
There is a lot of relevant info there on vedas, sanskrit, culture. And they do videos like Shantanu :)
