[@Dr.PeteMalloy-qs1cr]

Instead of funding Harvard, Indian billionaires should consider supporting Indian scholars willing to translate original Indic works written on palm leaves in Sanskrit and never translated. As mentioned by Sanjiv Sanyal at end of video. What a way to obtain immortality for everyone involved!

[@mayankindian3750]

Yes brother 😊❤💪🇮🇳🕉️🥰

[@shobhanamukherjee4735]

Totally agree with you

[@sriprakashhr9578]

Thwre is a non profit organisation in bengaluru named TARA PRAKASHANA that has the expertise in translating and preserving ancient palm leaves. The founder trustee, is Prif. P.R. MUKUND, Ph. D, professor emeritus at the Rochester Institute of Ttexhnology.

" a civilization waiting to be discovered " - what a phrase to conclude such a thought provoking discussion

[@rameshmuttur1236]

Sanjivji, your explanation of Aśoka’s “greatness” seems very very logical. I also feel that Asoka was made great because, he denounced Santana Dharma and embraced Buddhism! So, excellent armor to beat down Santana Dharma

[@lajwantishahani1225]

Also because of the Buddhist concept of Ahimsa which the British ascribed to Ashoka. As a result of this we've had to give up our territories 70 years ago. Historically though, none of the Buddhist, Jain or Ajivaka kings practiced ahimsa. It was meant only for the Bhikshu.

[@bld-cd6xb]

​@@lajwantishahani1225 agreed. Non-violence concept of our dharmic philosophies were twisted and misused to make us weak.

[@vaibhavyadav9912]

Sri Sanjeev Sanyal is always a pleasure to hear. 👍

[@jasha9sandhu]

So to conclude - " Ashoka the great" is as much as a hoax as " akbar the great" - both carefully minted constructs by motivated Leftist historians to suit their own socio-political ideology .

Lakhs of manuscripts.....left behind to be discovered and reawaken the glory of our cultural learning just sitting there to be discovered by our generations to come. What a fascinating call for people interested in doing such work. Can't wait to hold original manuscripts in my own hands and read it in Sanskrit. ❤️

[@lapsyup1244]

Hey Prakhar "I am currently in the states right now. It’s a great delight to watch your podcast, but just a request: if you are reading the comments, please bring some PhD professors in Sanskrit or experts who can elaborate on the matter regarding manuscripts yet to be translated. I believe it will spread awareness among a large section of society who will step up and we may uncover some lost knowledge or lost parts of history from those manuscripts.

[@IhareAds]

Not gonna happen till we reach 12 trillion dollar economy. A general Indian is still poor and rich wokes will do easy pusy PhDs on the rise of RSS.

Modis greatness is proper delegation of work responsibilities to his cabinet ministers. Sanyalji is one among them and is very close to Modi. He is so young and knows our history in detail and hence we can be rest assured that under NDA new amendments in our Constitution, laws etc will be in line with our past great philosophers and think tanks.

[@amrithkumar1918]

Sanjeev Sanyals erudition in ahistory of Bharath is so inspiring. I felt I am in my school(literally so). I am sharing with people who are in yhe same wavelength. I have down loaded to listen this with more Pride.

I really don't understand why Chanakya's Arthashastra is not included in the syllabus of Economics in UG and PG course. We study about Adam Smith, Keynes, etc.

[@AyushKumar-zw7xg]

Because all this education is derived from Britishers and Congress, who never focused on their own country

[@ks20234]

Completely endorse Sanyal Ji's point about translating the manuscripts. I think despite all the destruction India has the highest number of manuscripts. I didn't learn Sanskrit, though I am trying. But it's imp that Sanskrit is taught in schools and in future we have scholars who bring all this hidden knowledge to light

[@mayankindian3750]

Yes 😊❤

Knowledge is what is “known “, thus we must take time to understand what actually happened in the past. Look at the outstanding work done by Nilesh Nilkanth Oak who discovered the technology used by in ancient Indian texts “Ramayan “ and “Mahabharat “. We are now fairly certain abut the time of “Ravan Vadh” and Bhishma’s “Ichcha Mrityu “. Nilesh Oak’s theory is based on the position of stars Jupiter and Arundhati. Arundhati moves around Jupiter in about 28,000 years. The calculations presented by Nilesh bring the accuracy to probably one / two weeks. We must be thankful to Ashoka at least in one sense that he left inscriptions that give us the sense of his thoughts and the technology available in his time.

Lovely discussion! So happy to hear that Ashoka was indeed a chandashoka and not great in any good sense. Also that the wheel and the sthambha are the symbols of the sovereign, nothing to do with Ashoka or Buddhism/Jainism.

Chanakya/Kautilya has been one of the least understood personalities from our past. Also happy to see the myth of Ashoka being deconstructed.

Fantastic! Amazing content. Suggestion- If you can please make it more engaging by like taking questions from the audience and asking them to Sanjeev sir. You could also give us short material we can read on as a follow up to this conversation like Think school does. It can become sort of a community interested in intellectual topics like Economics, History and Governance etc. if we take it further. You can also make a separate channel later on if you wish as there is so much material here. But do expand on this. It was a fascinating conversation

Here we have 2 articulate incisive voices delivered by 2 handsome men - they set out the terms of an excellent line of inquiry.

[@himanshujaiswal6261]

Please open your own channel Sanjeev sir and open the discourse more scholarly and formally , going deep in to it and explaining things with deeper insight and supporting your viewpoint with scholarly literature and other available literature of that time with us . You coming to such shows where people hardly know about Chanakya and they having such a low level of understanding of political economy really is not worth watching as they can't really extract out anything much significant. Please launch a full series about political economy of Bharat in form of books , video lectures etc .

We love learning the language but find less engaging due to lack of availability in the platforms that current generation uses. I am sure people are now watching movies and short movies in other languages due to dubbing and subtitles, so a similar start can bring more interest towards Sanskrit.

Before it becomes an Echo Chamber, you should ask Mr Sanyal 2 Basic Questions: 1) When would Modi govt improve India’s “Ease of doing Business” Ranking to Top 10 List. Now it’s in 60+ rankings slot 2) Improve current legal system that enforces written commercial contracts. Will there be special courts.
