A Muslim Teacher in a Muslim Country taught me Mahabharata and Ramayana

I have often felt that my school life was fun, with friends, pranks and laughter. But education was quite different; Cramming up on things I never understood.

What is the problem with the Former ISRO Chief Madhavan ‘Vedas and Science’ claims and people running around with it

I have an issue with both Mr. Madhavan’s claims and the fact that many folks feel that we should all follow that claim. They vigorously defend what is being said. As an Indian one does not have a responsibility to defend any claim made by anyone irrespective of who it is. What we need is to question it. So what are we trying to prove … Continue reading What is the problem with the Former ISRO Chief Madhavan ‘Vedas and Science’ claims and people running around with it
