Throughout the book, the main topics revolve around the identity crisis India is experiencing due to the remnants of colonial soft power, which is still being used on this civilizational state. Significance of the title of this book/the character of the book to emphasize the decolonization happens between 193-207. The conception of Bharat, it's genesis to ascribe the set of beliefs its origin from ancient literature are described in this particular chapter.

The series of discussions on the country's name and its identity led to that which occurs at constituent assemblies to resolve to proclaim India an independent sovereign republic is explained.

There are excerpts and debates for the name change of India which is Bharat were made and it happens to be on the 15th of November 1948 by Shri M Ananthasayanam Ayyangar Shri Loknath Misra and the counter was made by Dr. BR Ambedkar and also noted catalysts like Shri HV Kamath is notable.The strong stance of Shri H.V Kamath on Bharat and objects to the phrase India that is Bharat as proposed by Ambedkar for use in the constitution is seminal. This position was seconded by Seth Govind who referred to Vedas, Upanishads, Veda Purana, etc.

J Sai Deepak argues on many levels in different chapters how the direct and indirect consequences of the federalization of civilization should be accounted for without tearing apart the essence of the indigenous ways of knowing instead of ignoring them.

A comprehensive account that exhibits the way colonialism of the East India Company generated diverse formulas for exerting White supremacy over Indigenous groups throughout the world in order to make thrive Christianity as a soft power to control and dominate economic systems in different parts of the world.

The purview of the white savior complex is still prevalent in colonized Indian brains, especially in academia and other fields, and the reasons for this conditioning are outlined in every chapter of India That Is Bharat. (Yatha Shakthi) I purchased two more copies and gave it to two other fellow Bharatvasis to understand the JSD's perspective and the theories of Decoloniality for which he refers to latin theorists like Mignolo et al.

Sastri's work on South Indian history is a paragon concise of polity, war, culture, numismatics, anthropology, and whatnot. Initially, it takes time to get the intrinsic grip towards the timeline unless you are a student of history. The proportional volume of data for a particular time can resort in a very short period while reading through the book. An individual acquired taste for history also plays a role to comprehend what Sastri has written, for my innate interest in religion, art, and architecture with philosophy it was more intriguing from the midsection. Accounts of Sankara(ADI) have been elucidated with lucid details and bi/trifurcation of Indian philosophy and it traces in history have been summarised with a precise timeline. The Indian schools of thoughts like Advaita Vedanta, Mimamsa, Vishista Advaita their transformation and values give more light to understand the complexities of Indian religious consciousness, which can be comprehended effortlessly through the lens of K.A.N. of course rise and fall of every South Indian kingdom and their patronage for the language and culture made India richer, which every Indian should know about.

நாதஸ்வரம் போன்ற தமிழ் இசை கருவிகளை சிறிதும் முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுக்க மறுக்கும் இக்காலத்தில், அதன் மகத்துவத்தை சிறுபாண்மையாண மக்களே அதன் பெருமையை வளர்க்கும் வகையில் வாழும்போது அவர்களின் வாழ்வியல் பற்றி சிறப்பாக எடுத்துரைத்துள்ளார். சாதி மற்றும் அதன் ஒடுக்குமுறைகளும் எப்படி ஒரு கலையை பாதிக்கிறது என்பதும் குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது இத்தொகுப்பில்.
The environmental setup and detailing of the story is intriguing and one can never stay put after reading this fine piece of literature. Sir Ramakrishnan's ஆற்றாமை for the Nadhaswaram artists and the struggle faced is beautifully sketched which will turn the readers pro conservative to cultural music and landscape.

•”Reducing the many into one is science... The whole of the universe has been demonstrated into one. That science is called the science of Vedanta. The whole universe is one.”

•”It is one existence appearing in all these variations.”

The relative elements of the universe in time, space and causation can be understood by (Dhyana) meditation that it's the same in both microcosm and macrocosm.

These collections of poems are very relative and powerful. The sequence of love, desire, goal and downfall happens in the same physical plane but has different effects on the mental plane.

The author's scrutinization to make the words modest hits you differently when you have witnessed them. All the poems resonated with me with whatever subjective experience I have had in the quarter/n part of life. I guess you will also have a beautiful journey when you visualise your life with these poems.

The illustrations are pretty well conceived, now and then I tried to project my own thoughts with the sketches before dwelling into the words and mostly succeeded in interpreting, it was amusing. In its entirety, this book is a minimal art on life pursuit.

The level of character viscerality in the story gradually shifts from an initial, socially acceptable level to a detailed contour map of each character in a given time and space. In doing so, the author helps the reader see the reality of their decision and persuades them to embrace them for who they are with the progression of time. In my opinion I observed that a strong emphasis is placed on the idea that once you leave a place you are from, you no longer belong there from the illustration of Dasan.

Just as people undergo different shades according to their conditioning here the space also evolves over time, changing their eccentricities and hues with time.

This book could not be classified as political fiction set in the former French colony of Mahe, as it would be an undertone, the breeze from the Mayyazhi goes beyond the verbal detailing in the book, where one can witness the play of emotions like the waves along the banks.

There is a big hole in Indian history adulterated by Marxist historians. Habib's and Thapar's have dedicated their whole lives to create more soy faces out of Indian Hindus.

Thanks to - Ashish Iyer - for recommending this book

Though we have few authentic thinkers who can write and contemplate about real history and morphology of the Indian subcontinent, it's high time now to understand their POV and make amendments in the Ideology of the majority populous in India.

A convulsive and speculative read, if that's what you expect from fiction, then the authors have delivered it. Every chapter in this book is loaded with the author's contemplation on the current Indian state of morality with the story plot which is a crossroad of negative social constructs in our society and the hypocrisy we see in our daily walks of life. In this way, it provokes to understand the oppression being apprehended towards Dalits for centuries.

Also, it enlightens how trivial the human race has become a despot to claim existence for a brief period on mother earth, because of their cumulative layers of egoism which have been acquired from birth to death for no reason only to become Vibuthi or stardust in the ultimate end.

You might think what good fiction can do but it turns out that we have always survived this long only because of change in perspective in the course of time. The authors believed in a large collective change in the human mind towards progression instead of selfishness. That can bring powerful simplification to just exist with every creature on this planet, without bringing mundane absurdities.

A predictive plot in the end which didn't surprise me because this story is not just to bring you pleasure by reading some words rather to critically think beyond the plot and take away home some points to spread goodness in the society.
Tat Tvam Asi

With numerous incidents in the Indian history, there are certain factions which always endure to distort the facts to suit their narratives and keep the indigenous values at lowest tone and tenor. As they have seen triumph these many days in various aspects to keep the truth not accessible to the masses. Among those clubs such are the cults from the barren lands, whose religion is “Terrorism” and it is the only form of expression they have expertise.

Swami Vivekananda, in his discourse exposes these despotisms and treachery against Chatrapati Shivaji and his subjects.

These accounts as viewed by Swami lucidly builds up the grit & valor of Maharaj complementing his secular activity with his spiritual inclination, which he imbibed from his Guru Ramdas and his becoming of the ‘Shivaji the Great' gives us an experience to understand profoundness of his nature.

In the eight decade of Independence and many political rifes, we get to witness the horrors of the so-called Imperial governments' mismanagement and incompetence in colonization and the treachery they committed. The book encapsulates all the horrors that occurred in Bengal in 1943 under the government of Churchill. Nizammudin, Fazlul Huq, and the Moslem League of India, all of which were equally responsible for the genocide of Bengal, which resulted in the deaths of 3.5 million people, 20 percent of Bengal's surviving population. It is heart wrenching to read the firsthand information written on ‘Panchsher Manwantar ‘by Syama Prasad Mookerjee, which is translated by the author in this book points out the simple truth of the catastrophe lucidly that was orchestrated by Churchill, Viceroy Linlithgow and the Muslim League within the guise of the British Raj to topple the popular ministry by valuing boats, and denial of humanitarian aid provided by Canada and Australia by stripping rice from people and back chanelling to the the lunatics fighting the greedy war in WWII. It is critical to note that the author has succinctly described the truth as a revelation by illustrating how these crimes of mismanagement by Churchill and Et al. were related to the Ukraine famine engineered by the Soviet Union. The enduring need for books like these is especially acute, as we are witnessing low production levels in agriculture and a contemporary crisis affecting India's neighbors, such as Sri Lanka, still on the brink of enslavement by modern-day treachery. When a country is unable to sustain its food production for its citizens, and it tries to compete for exports, and it loses all sanity in the process.

Before becoming complacent to popular narratives, it might be useful to examine the facts to see what is the real motive in hindsight. Cownomics offers you a bottom-up perspective to examine Gaurakshak from a global lens.
Degeneration that is readily evident in front of our eyes, that we skip and indulge in for sensory pleasure, eventually comes back and strikes like a storm that hits us without warning because we have left a karmic footprint on it.
Having grown up in a household where vegetarianism is a norm, it is extremely easy for people similar to me to sustain[ It's not a flaunt ;) ].
However, it is only now that everyone has to pay attention to the global crisis of the meat industry and its effect on climate change.
The mission of this book is to impart a model for creating a Utopian habitat where the netzero culture can happen to be a reality. Thanks to Arti Agarwal for creating this book.

In the book's first pages, readers are shown an image of a sculpture from the Hoysaleshwara Temple in Halabeedu of Abhimanyu, which can only be appreciated after finishing the book and trying to grasp its value. As long as it remains an iconography, it remains merely a representation. This is something I have seen at this site, but I have never understood the significance of it. Now, after completion, I recognize how many similar meanings are underlying over these works.

This book contains several tales about Abhimanyu from the Mahabharata that the author has gathered masterfully. A simple yet elegant narrative effortlessly binds the sequence like a ride for the senses. When I was reading, I transitioned into Abhimanyu, while hearing Krishna speak about the Vyuha from Subhadra's womb also while looking for the Arjuna, and was also receiving battle training from Pradhyumna; and was eventually killed by deviousness. These turnarounds have all been interesting, and the scale is presented clearly here.

As I feel this book is appropriate for a wide audience, I would have preferred more realistic cover art than cartoon sketches like Chota Bheem.

The author introduces puranas in general and cites the work that provided inspiration for the two-volume Brahma Purana. The emphasis on which Itihasas are classified as additions and puranas, as well as the traits that are given to them, is a revelation to me. Through his scholarship, he also explores these qualities and makes it obvious what is and is not a Purana.

The beginning of the Brahmapurana goes on to describe the formation of asuras and devas and gives copious information pertaining to Manvantaras, the rulers (Manus) of successive yugas, and their genealogy. This sets the tone of shristi manifestations and reveals key facets of the Akanda. These insights help to elucidate the basic tenets of Gotra, Sutra, and their chronological progression. A comprehensive account of Aditya and his contributions to the world. In subsequent sections, the Pancha Maha-Bhoota, the trigunas (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas), and the BMW paradigm (Body, Mind, and World) are explained.

A number of chapters of Vol-I focus on Karma-Mimamsa rites, their implications, and strategies for dealing with Punya and Papa in relation to the karmic balances. Apparently, people have always sought comfort in their lives. The Puranas present remedies for now and the future that will allow them to reach places like Vaikunta, Shveta Dvipa, and Kailasha, etc..

The 9137 shlokas of this Purana have really no cohesion because mostly they are all Q&As between Vysa and Lomaharshana/ Urgashravs, indeed randomly opening the purana's pages can yield unique insight. This is one of the merits of the Puranas: anyone can pick any chapter and promptly grasp its principles. In these two volumes, the author includes a wealth of footnotes that, in a sense, function as a lexicon of Sanskrit terminologies, but most of these comments require context to make sense.

The author leans on the footnotes to provide a running commentary that enables the reader to understand the context without decelerating because they are usually clear in breaking down the ambiguous narratives in the purana and don't usually seem to have any interpretations to the original texts.The preponderance of the events are transpiring in the Prathame (First section) of the Kaliyuga, rendering it both amusing and extremely disquieting to read the accounts . In conjunction to this, there are values that are interwoven here between the Savarnas and Avarnas, and the place of women and their parameters are expressed in depth.

The properties of the Maya Viksepa Shakti, yoga practise, and Samkhya (Dvaitam) are explored in later sections, along with the implications of Dharma, Artha, and Kama on realising the Ishwara. Part I is therefore finished, and Part II is realised in the form of the Goutami Mahatmya, which underscores the advantages of Tirthas in realising the Supreme. Numerous intangible heritage and landscape of this Mahtmyam have endured the test of time and continue to aid in our understanding of the cultural landscape of the Ganga to the Thamirabarani regions and the qualities of these landscapes to help jiva break free from the cycle of samsara.

The major parts of the book deals with Industrial Revolution 4.0, the phenomena of automation, and the reality that the majority of people around the world are becoming unemployed by their middle ages and grow resistant to upskilling are the main focus of this book.
Other parts are dealt with the social engineering practices used by big techs to distort free will and sell narratives en masse to implant modern day digital colonisation.

From Katopanishad the concept of Shreyas and preyas are incited and these Vedic terms means a choice between spiritual and material paths . In choosing Shreyas, one discovers one's own truth. In choosing preyas, one seeks sensual, carnal gratification that pulls one away from self. This criteria has been established for a long time through the school of logic in Indian philosophy to differentiate what is dharmic and what is not-dharmic for collective consciousness, so it is especially impressive that the book analyses A.I with human gratification to unravel the problem at hand. The author cites Bhartrhari's Nitishatakam and the Bhagavad Gita from a non-dual lens to make reader understand what is what in consecutive sections, It is easy to draw parallels between these texts for people who have already dealt with them to get the analogy that author tries to exhibit.

Once again, the author exposes the reader to the present political diaspora, as he did in his earlier work Breaking India, and this is a reinforcement and pushes his best to be conscious of the situation.

Though these essays were written a few decades ago, they still speak to our present day and reveal how bleak the future sounds if we ignore or overlook the epic solidity of puranas and ignore the steps to self-actualization pramanas provided by our ancient knowledge in many Itihasas. Increasingly today we can see modern corporate gurus claiming to know everything without ever mentioning the sources from which they imbibed the principles for their economic generation.

This book is a compendium of foundational aspects of Inidan philosophy with clear distinctions between his own thoughts and the sources he refers to in his citations. In hindsight, he debates and grasps how completely Indian life has been disrupted and reflects on how the strain of English education only takes a single generation to undermine tradition and produce an intellectual pariah who is neither east nor west. The greatest danger for India is losing her spiritual integrity. In fact, education remains the most challenging issue for India. Today, it revolves around economic issues.

When I was growing up my father was a soldier in the Indian Army and Kashmir was his last posting before he retired, As you know, families of Indian army officers can move into specific regiment's cantonments, but this part of the country is excluded as it is plagued by hapazards.

Indians still mistake Kashmir for an apple-producing state while ignoring the existential crisis faced by fellow Kashmiri pandits. Ambushes carried out by Pakistani/terrorist outfits on our defence personnel are a casual occurrence on any given day in this part of the land. It is appalling that even today, politicians with anti-India agendas practice divisive politics to support the so-called peaceful religion in their Jihads

Although it is extremely difficult to put the pen to the paper to narrate the injustice that occurred to Kashmiri Pandits, In this story, the author presents a clear picture that covers the factors such as the laws, behavioural dynamics of the radicals and stories from both sides of the equation..

Clouded information that was not readily available in daylight has been explored in great detail, which has answered many questions in this book regarding the exodus, this should not be forgotten or forsaken

Would you like to see how our country's image has been derailed on international forums. And in case you've been intrigued by the unique world view of the Lutyens living overseas and in India, you'll definitely want to grab this book! Throughout the book, the journey of multiple characters is easily decoded through their hilarious stories. These caricatures depict how these scumbags never cared about the country, but remained hedonists to quench their thirst traps.

For instance, Zaroor, you will go on a laughter riot as it goes in detail from their bowel movements to their sky-high cortisol levels! Lol.

After having seen the movie the book provides a mind map that moves upward in the graph, debunking the narratives of churches and its political hegemony in democracy makes the reader cope to know the simple absurd factor of nature.

The ultimate philosophy of ‘Arthanatheeshwarar' of Hinduism has been paraphrased by religions in the west with upward and downward triangle /yin & yang. But readers interested to know about these geometric principles should research on Panchakoshas to understand the reverberation of life!
