    BBC News - Bhoot Vidya: India university to teach doctors Ghost Studies. Sorry BBC, Bhuta Vidya भूत विद्या in आयुर्वेद means "Psychotherapy" and not "Ghost Studies". Is UK so financially strapped that BBC can't even hire competent journalists?

    Are Telugu films doing well all over India and in the diaspora because they present a more "authentic" view of India's culture? In contrast, have Bollywood movies become increasingly fake-Westernized and so people are turning away from them?

    I lived near Martand temple for several years and never heard it called "Shaitan ki Gufa". It is not even a Kashmiri name. I believe a Bollywood movie uses this name. It's made-up.

    It's true that the British stole $47 trillion from India. India's share of the world economy plummeted from 20-25% to 1.4% under their watch. And then they pinned it on caste, an artifical construct that sadly Indians have internalized under the force of relentless propaganda.

    I ask for a public campaign in India to seek reconstruction of the collapsed shikhara of the Konark Sun Temple. (The white part in the figure is collapsed.) (Such reconstruction has been done elsewhere as in the world-famous Prambanan Temple in Indonesia).

    In the 7th century, negative numbers were used in calculations in India which was innovative because Europeans dismissed these numbers as absurd until the 17th century, when they gained widespread acceptance due to their practical use in accounting and bookkeeping.

    If UAE can include Jewish Holocaust in school curricula, why can't Indian school curricula include genocide in India during Turkish invasions and more recently in the Partition and the Bangladesh Freedom War? Only Truth will lead to Reconciliation
